The opinion is expressed very often
that American children are imperti-
nent, disobedient, notably lacking Ia
respect for their elders and much IN
need of discipline. Comparisons are
made to their disadvantage by persons
who nave travelled in foreign parts
and are accepted as probably fair by
others who have engaged in home
study only. Added to this unofficial
but widely accepted opinion, We now
have judgment based on al investi-
cation of 1000 schools in every part
of the United States. Referring to
this investigation, Clifford Webster
Barnes said in his address before the
National Education Association that
nearly all the teachers who were en-
gagged in it passed severe criticism up
on the home and social life of Ameri-
can families SO far as they had to do
with the moral training Of children.
Homes of the lower tier" where
drunkenness, profanity and vice of
every kind is common, are acting
And 1.-The homes of the we'll to do and
the refined are not all the very best
for the formation of noble and strong
characters. There is too much of the
namby-pamby discipline in such homes.
The children act at their pleasure and
place themselves on the same level
as their parents" Manisestly little can
be expected from home of vice here
or elsewhere. But it is equally OBJ
viOus that the other homes should
help the teacher both by their exam
pie and by direct encouragement We
make the assertion, however, without
any great faith that there Is to be a
Iudden revolution. For the encour.
Rgement certainly goes now to the TO-.
ward child who advertises himself
loudly at home and who is regarded as
an injured innocent by his parents If
he receives any correction at school.
For both moral and mental training ne
requires a discipline from which he
escapes, and he himself is, of course,
the greatest loser by the namby-pam-
by method. If he Is not thoroughly
demoralized by it he is pretty apt to
lament in after wears that his childish
whims and vanity we're accepted as a
snhstit"te for rational government

Secretary Wilson returned from b
recent western trip with the convic-
ton that his previous explanation of
the upward trend of food prices is
sound. He attributed the troubles of
the consumer to the scarcity of farm
that view. Thousands of fertile acres,
he says, are lying idle in the far West
because their owners cannot get
hands" at any rate of pay Ameri-
can boys drift to the cities, while
immigrants, even if from purely agri-
cultural districts, are either unable
or unwilling to do farm and field
work, while many of those who try
1t prove to be incompetent owing to
the different methods and the i'm
proved machinery employed here
Those who regard this theory as in
adequate and who think that monop-
oily Is not without considerable respon-
sibility for the high prices of food
stuffs must admit that the scarcity Of
agricultural labor is a fact, and as
such it at least partially accounts for
the phenomenon IN question. Hence it
is highly desirable to continue and ex-
tend the work of the federal informa.
ton division of the bureau of immi-
grafton. which has sought to promote
the better distribution of immigration
and has taken particular pains to d.
rect the aliens to the western states
or localities where the shortage of la
Dor is greatest. There has been oppo-
sition to the activities of this divi-
sion. and only the other day Secretary
Nagel turned down" a recommends
ton for its abolition. There IS plenty
of room for cooperation between the
federal agency and state bureaus Of
labor and immigration. Secretary Will
sons explanation also emphasizes the
need of scientific and practical teach
ing of agriculture in state colleges
and special schools. A good deal has
been written on the subject OF late,
and 1t certainly deserves all the at
tention 1t receives The drift city,
ward can be checked by making agri-
culture profitable and attractive as q
career. The liberal professions, we
are constantly told. are overcrowded,
and the average earnings in them too
small to compensate for the time and
labor spent In preparation and wait
Ing. Agriculture is very far from be-
Ing overcrowded, and the possibili-
ties Of intensive cultivation, Of econ
omy and improvement, are INFINITE
In this country.

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was UNI
doubtedly that made month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
OF the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead OF
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success and, therefore. the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, If such had
existed. Still more important was
the tact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion OF observers, named by those
VINO entered other contesting cars
Therefore, 1t would have been impos-
sible Tor the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and penalty in
hicted. AT night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

MAKING IT SQUARE.


The striking ability of the late Rev
James Robertson, D. D., for many
years missionary superintendent IN
the Northwest Territories, to grip and
hold individuals even while he rebuk
ed them for their sins, often gave him
entrance to a crowd or a community
that otherwise would have been closed
to him. There is a famous story oil
an encounter he had with a youne
cowboy In Fort Mcleod, which the
old-timers of that town love to tell
and which Rev. Charles w. Gordon
has incorporated in his recent Life
OF James Robertson
1t was the superintendent first
visit to that part of the country. Com.
Ing by the Lethbridge stage, he made
the acquaintance of the stage-driver.
Jake, famous for his skill with the
lines, famous also as a master OF
varied and picturesque profanity.
Later in the afternoon the superin.
tendent was pinning up in the hotel
office notice of a service to be held
on Sunday, the day following. A
young fellow strobe in, read the no
tice, glanced at the superintendent
and Immediately broke forth into a
volley Of oaths.
The superintendent listened quietly
till he had finished, then said, bland.
ly:
"Is that the best you can do? You
ought to hear Jake. You go to Jake
He'll give you points,"
The derisive laughter that followed
completely quenched the crestfaller
young man. In the evening the SUI.
perintendent came upon him in the
street, got into conversation with him
found he was of Presbyterian extrac
ton, that he had been well brought
up. but in that wild land had fallen
into evil ways.
Come, now" said the superintend
ent, "own up you were trying to bluff
me this afternoon, weren't your"
well, I guess so" was the shame
faced reply. But you held over me-"
Now look here" replied the super
irirendent, you get me good meet
ing tomorrow afternoon, and we'll
call it square"
The young man promised, and next
days meeting proved him to be as
good as his word

The complete success of the new
fuel while on this 265O-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through it's use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion OF
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the, White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead OF
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 265O-mile
journey, and all claims made In It's
behalf were fully proven. First OF
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
lene. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, ana
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish OF the
tour. the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly. the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con-
yenient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily ana
cheaply obtainable. Finally. the

amount of fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent. more efficient. gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car in
other respects made most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum of COM
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring damaged mud
guard These penalties were not in
1icted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score"
A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in a couple of
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proven to be, that it is
not believed that any purchasers will
care to use gasoline.
The White Company report that
the demands for their new steam cars
both the $200O-model and the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS their most SAN
quine expectations. 1t is evident that
the combination of steam-the pow
- uhich overv0ne understands and
has confidence in-with Kerosene
the fuel which everyone has on hand
and can handle without any danger
is thoroughly appreciated by
up-to-date purchasers of automo-
biles.

Mr. Eagenbach and the white men
got up in trees, and watched Pa and

the fence narrowed up at the corral
Pa let the airship come down to the
ground, and anchored it to a stump

while the returns are not all in of the

expedition is pretty near used up.
The African buffalos live in a marsh,
where the grass and cane grow high
above them. and the only way you
can tell where they are is to watch the
birds flying around and alighting on
the backs of the animals to eat wood
ticks and gnats. The marsh is SO
thick with weeds that a man cannot
go into it. so We planned to start the
airship on the windward side of the
marsh. after lining up the whole force
of helpers, negroes and white men.
and building a corral of timber on the
lee side of the marsh. Pa and the
cowboy and l went in the airship, with
these honk-honk horns they have on
automobiles. and these megapbones
that are used at football games, and
Pa had a bunch of Roman candles to
scare the buffalOs.

Mr.. Hagenbach sent up a rocket to
