SITUATION MORE DANGEROUS
NOW THAN IT EVER WAS.

1t is perhaps significant that the Cali
fornia senators promptly disclained that
| they had been parties to any agreement
whatever, by which we are to infer that
the matter was agreed to between the
administration and the municipal au-
thorities of San Francisco. What may
please San Francisco may not please the
state, and the matter of. control of the
public schools is a state, not municipal
or federal matter
The matter was one directly involving
the rigts of state and should never
have been compromised Such compro-
misses rarely if ever satisfy anybody. and
the chances are that neither California
nor Japan will long remain content, The
compromise merely delays settlement,
as did the Missouri compromise. and a
final and definite determination is about
as certain in one case as in the other
Japan was making demands upon state
which she had no right to make, and the
proper course to have pursued would
have been to inform her that no atten-
ton would be paid to her absurd de
mand.
As it is, the situation is probably more
dangerous now than it ever was, if ii
was ever dangerous. The authorities
| of San Francisco may honestly attempt
to carry out the compromise, or indeed
may not be so easily controlled, and it
may be that they will make the quarrel
more acute than it was at first A hand
full of men have often started trouble
that eventually involved nations, and
they may do so again. Certainly it is of
little promise, compromise which Sc
lects as arbitrator a person who has al
ready taken decided position and de-
clared his views after a manner which
hardly admits of reconsideration. Cali
fornia may as well prepare for the wav-
ing of the big stick, accompanied by talk
anything but soft.

had been written with a purpose and
had character and power. He contrast
ed forcefully such literature with the
light, vapid, frivolous sort that seemed
to appeal to such a large percentage of
readers.
He then asked each student to tell
him frankly which kind he was read

something light he came to tall west
