MAY DAY
achi6VenleI

May Day was less strenuously observed TINS
year than for a long time to the great gain of
the world. In Paris alone does there seem to
have been anything like an attempt ut the old
time demonstrations and there the admirable
efficiency of the administration maintained order
in Il high degree There Il thousand ar
rests it is true. and score of persons We're
hurt. But what were those things to the orgies
of former wears? In other countries there was
scarcely any disorder, and the paradng and
speechmaking much less prOfuSe than Nth
erto. In Russia il is possible that the changed
political conditions had something to do with
the decline of May Day. Elsewhere no special
causes were operative, and we must attribute
the change to general causes, or perhaps to II
single
1t seems reasonable to suppose that there has
been general decline of interest in and regard
for the May Day demonstrations because of their
obvious and proved futility. No real good has
come Of them. We are not sure that they aimed
at any particular good They We're simple man
ifestatiOns of protest and of discomfort Now
the voice of IAN infant crying in the night" may
be worthy of most sympathetic attention, pro-
vided the infant is crying for the light and
has mo language but cry" But if it is not
crying for the light, but for the moon or some
thing equally unattainable or for something
which it cannot tell and does not know. and IT,
besides the cry, it has another far more lntelli-
gible and effective language which it might use
If 1t would-why, then the cry falls on much
less sympathetic ears.
The conviction has arisen in many lands that
men may do something very much more profit
able and effective than march in professions
and make and listen to speeches on May Day.
Accordingly the old "Internatonale' practice is
falling into disuse. excepting among the perma-
nent jewellers in Adullam's Cave, who stay there
from choice and who would not be happy unless
they were unhappy! The change doubtless af-
fords much relief to various governments and
their police functonaries, though of course, they
will do well to take it as a symptom only and
not as tinality. If they are largely rid of the
May Day nuisance there is none the less need
of their also getting rid of whatever conditions
originally gave May Day preteXt for existence
and invested 1t with an appearance of moral
cause

MIR. TOWER ON DIPLOMACY.

environment of the schoolrOom and the city

dozen or two from a cherry tree Mr. Burbank
probably does not worry over the pain he is
causing the victim. Even if it did hurt the poor

do you suppose the gardener would refrain,
knowing that his cruel treatment would cause
the tree TO produce wonderful cherries? All the

Why should our youngsters revei in the sweet

BURBANK VERSUS SCHOOL.

If every little boy had his say, the meadows
the orchards and the 'rassng place" behind the
barn would be his school and all his comrades
teachers therein. BY a fatal perversity. how
ever, which commonly begins to develop in the
late teens the grown-up boy refuses to prac-
tise on his juniors what he preached for him
self. The stuffy schOOlrOom, the stiff bench and
the relentless pedagogue are imposed upon every
rising generation in utter oblivion of past
warnings. And the crime of education has been
perpetrated without interruption up to the pres
ent day, when Luther Burbank appears to de-
nOunce and oppose it. Mr.. Burbank. who has
achieved fame through applying well known
botanical principles in novel ways and with
great patience. is convinced that the human
race can be transformed by bringing up children
in the proper manner. Believing that environ
ment is everything, the horticulturist would Sc
girls in ideal rural surroundings up to the age
of ten years. He says:
The curse OF modern child life in America is
overeducati ton The injury wrought to the race
by keeping too young children in school is be-
them in this precious early age, when they
ought to be living a life of preparation near to
the heart of nature, and we stuff them and over
work them until their poor little brains are
crowded up to and beyond the danger line
Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers
and tadpoles, wild Strawberries acorns and
pine cones trees to climb and brooks TO wade in
sand, snakes. huckleberries and hornets and
any child who has been deprived of these has
been deprived of the best part of his education

evolutionary laws so successfully in producing

that nobody has been beaten we shall watch
