II makes a good shade tree, retaining
itg leaves until late in the autumn, and
on account OF Its rapid growth should
prove very desirable for windbreaks
and shelter belts. So far as il known
at present, this tree b perfectly hardy
and viii grow under a variety Of soil
and moisture conditions. 1t seems,
however, to respond quickly by In
creased growth to cultivation and care.
The advantage which the Norway
holds over the Carolina poplar, one Of
the most popular Of cottonwoOds, La
chiefly in its great hardness and better
form, and the seemingly superior quail
ity Of its wood Is shown in preliminary
studies made by the United States for
est service. 1t will be some time be-
fore the Norway poplar will be avail
able for widespread planting, since cut
tings Of the true variety are at present
very scarce and hard to obtain.

A Story From India.

An Indian merchant wished to dis
pose Of an old elephant and took it to
a fair. AS soon as he had arrived he
noticed n man who, without saying a
word, began to walk round the animal,
examining 1t attentively on all sides.
The merchant became very anxious,
for he feared the man had found out
that his elephant was not worth much.
He took him aside and whispered In
his ear: 81 see customer coming.
Do not say a word until l have sold
the beast, and l will give you 80
rupees" The man looked at the mer-
chant and wonderlngly complied with
his request 1t happened that the
customer had more money than sense,
SO he was easily taken In. When the
bargain was completed and the ele-
plant led away by its new owner, the
merchant handed the 80 rupees to
the silent man, saying: "Now 1 want
you to tell me how you discovered the

Ono Of England's foremost authoga-
ties on economic conditions, Lord Ave
bury, thinks that the currency troubles
Of this country can be settled by fol-
lowing the course adopted by England
In 1914 and setting up u central bank.
The Bank Of England issues in an
amount liked by law notes against Be-
curitiea. ANY extra amount Of notes
which may be needed must be secured
by gold in the banks vaults. The
bank operates under a charter which
may be modified or revoked Ig the
legislature mt pleasure. The bank is
the financial agent Of the government,
manages the public debt, collects the
revenue and IL the bank Of other
banks.
In this country II Is held, on one
hand, that the financial situation
would be helped by a currency based
upon assets. The more conservative
advocates Of this plan would have a
central bank OF issue similar to the
Bank Of England or the Imperial Bank
Of Germany, with the government as
the dominant stakeholder. Such bank
would be In effect the United States
treasury and have behind 1t the faith
of the nation. In this way, II il ar
gued, the whole credit system Of the
country could be wisely controlled and
reckless borrowing prevented.
A measure having the approval OF
many prominent bankers viii early
come before congress. Il is substan-
tally a credit currency plan, having
for It's object the creation of currency
which may be increased in volume or
reduced. according to the needs Of q
business. 1t is, however. in the ma
ture Of an expedient and not expected
to solve the currency problem as ef-
fectually as might be done perhaps I'M
der the European system Of central
bank. Our present system Ia right In
tendencies. but the needs OF the coun-
try call for a wider distribution Of cur
rency upon sound securities which the
government can guarantee without risk
or expense to the nation and also with
out showing favor to any particular
interests or class.
There are able bankers who believe
that the plan Of a central bank win
never be adopted in the United States
for political and social reasons and
who also hold that the enlargement Of
privileges or the removal Of restric-
tons Of national banks to provide an
elastic currency would prove form Of
dangerous expansion. Bankers Of this
class have no confidence that banks OF
issue would be able to Withstand the
pressure Of speculation whenever the
traffic In securities might become ram
pant 1t Is only fair to the public In
telligence to say that neither the bank
ing group nor the economists in con-
gress have 50 completely mastered the
subject that consensus OF the compe.
tent approaches unanimlty.

President Wilson Declares Methods Of
Last Two Decades Worthless.
Or. Woodrow Wilson, president Of
Princeton, made a speech the other
night in which he condemned the sys-
tenn Of education that has been follow
cd for the last two decades az almost
worthless and made a plea for an ed
ucational system laid upon a scientific
basis, says the New York World He
made his address before the conven-
don OF the Association Of Colleges and
Preparatory Schools, held In the Town
send Harris han OF the University Of
the City Of New York
President Wilson said we have Just
passed through a period when In edu-
oationai matters men did net hold
themselves to plan, but opened wide
the gates; "a period" he said, when
to the wide domain OF knowledge has
been added subject after subject until
the domain itself had to be wiGened
70 take them In; a period Of the 30
called elective system Of studies when
the student himself selected the
studies which he thought most worth
while to him; period Of dispersion. of
dissolution, Of standards, Astounding in
pedagogIc theories, making expert
ments put forth out Of educational
curiosity rather than deep conviction.
1--WE all know that the children In
tho last two decades in our schools
have not been educated. With all our
training we have trained nobody.
With all our instruction we have In
for me to tell this audience that In
formation Is not education. But we
are on the eve Of a period of recon
struction. We are throwing away the
almless and standardless methods of
the past and coming down to the fun
damental truths which are at the basis
Of all real education.
Education In this modern age
stands In need Of two things. The
argt Is technical training. The major
fly Of our young men must be made
mechanics not merely of the hands,
but also or the mind There Is no limit
to the physical and intellectual me-
ehanics needed. The great majority OF
our youths should he given an exact
and thorough technical training.
Second, we need that kind Of edu-
cation which for many ages has
borne among us the name of liberal
education If ever an age needed

Craftsmanship of mind. Of men lifted
a little above their fellow men who
can see beyond the horizon. 1t is this
age. II we have this great army of
mechanics with no one to see visions.

OFFICIAL CORRUPTION

The people OF idaho have had as a
leading member of the board OF uni
versity regents a prominent Mormon
named Geo. c. Parkinson. His APP
pointment was the result Of the po-
lItlcal coalition between the Republi-
can party and the Mormon church.
1t was a partial payment OF the debt
the state administration owed the
Mormcns for their support. In his
offlcial capacity Parkinson was
caught riding on a pass and charg-
ing railroad fare up to the state. The
smell from this scandal became so in
tense that II forced the governor to
call for Parkinson's resignation. In
commenting on the matter the Idaho
Sclmltar. Senator Dubois paper,
says:
1T was announced in a previous
issue OF this paper that George g.
Parkinson had rendered to tho Gov
ernor of the state his resignation of

"Mr. Parkinson's resignation was
requested and II was quickly forth
