AMERICAN EDUCATION

II OSEPH SCOTT, president of the
board of education, at the Sunday
y patriotic mass meeting held in the
Auditorium spoke truthfully and to
the point when he said, "In vain do We
build a city if we neglect the educa-
ton of the children; if we do not instill
into their hearts the spirit of patriot
ism" Mr.. Scott added: There is no
use or room in this country for the
man who has no use for the principles
of this government"
Yet many people who remain in this
country all the year round and from
year to year are equally familiar with
the principles of this government and
with the binomial theorem. Their
knowledge of American history is on
a par with their knowledge of logar-
lthms. They are as we'll acquainted
with the sources and doctrines of evo-
Iutionary Americanism as they are
with the differential calculus. On all
these subjects they are alike in
structed
The bigger and more crowded a city
the more remarkable is this feature.
There are social conditions in many
eastern cities which make it difficult
or almost impossible for the victims
to understand Americanism.
These conditions readily and abun-
dainty produce anarchy and disloyalty.
But which would be the easier remedy
for this ituation-deportation or in
struction? To deport all the hun
dreds of thousands of people who
have never heard of Americanism
would be a gigantic task. Would it
not be preferable to begin to take a
little more pains in patriotic instruc-
ton? And if conditions were such as
to impress children with the practical
advantages of Americanism, as we'll as
with its rhetorical and historical force,
the results would be even more graft
flying than if the instruction were
purely academic.

to crafty that desire. But what 1
want to know is why some seedsmen
persist in coaXing their patrons to
spend money for seeds that the seller
KNOWS will disappoint the buyer.
1t seems to me such seedsmen should
be prosecuted for obtaining money un-
der false pretenses.
To such extremes has this craze for
novelties gone that we need not be
surprised to see offered such desirable
novelties as the 'podless pea" top
less turnip," "seedIess white black
berry" or the "balloon berry," which
would be appropriate for Aviation
week. The writer planted wonder
berry" seed last year. 1t should have
been named worthless berry" The
most wonderful thing about it is that
any scotsman should have had the
nerve to ask long-suffering people to
buy such a worthless weed. If you
doubt it, read the description in a 1909
catalogue and then eat the berries.
l have in mind a scotsman who has
i'm past years offered for sale seeds of
Camelia Japonica, Japanese maple.
scarlet panSies, etc. The beauty of
these plants and shrubs is set forth
by glowing descriptions, often accom-
panied by equally glowingly colored
plates. Professional Z growers know
WlaI 10 expect from Such seeds, but
many amateurs do not, and it is from
this class that the harvest of quarters
and dimes is reaped. The loss of
money paid for such seed is small
compared to the waste of time and la
Dor and the disappointment. l re-
member seeing offered seeds Of beau
tiful ever blooming Polyanthea roses"
said to bloom in ninety days from
seed. [ knew an old lady that tend
ed faithfully for more than ninety
weeks plants grown from that rose
seed and never a blossom rewarded
her efforts. The trouble with those
roses was that there should have
been an IN" prefixed to the word
"ever-b blooming" If people would
consult their local scotsman or florist
as to the probable value of such nov
elites a little advice often would pre-
vent much expense and disappoint-
ment AS for fake seedsmen, they
should be put out of business.

AN IMPROVEMENT

A n improvement in the wage scale
~ Of local railroad employees is a
cheerful sign of the new year. In
many great industries in the east the
employees have been put on a profit
sharing basis. Some employers have
gone further than merely to buy the
allegiance of taskmasters or oyerseers
and have given to every employe who
helped create prosperity and a surplus
share of that prosperity and surplus.
However, we venture to express the
hope that now that the justice of Civ
ing the men a slight increase of pay
has been recognized an effort should
be made to reform the schedules and
cut the working day of employees down
to a reasonable and safe length. Not
long ago one of the companys employees
heard to remark he was walking in
his Sleep" Many employees speak of
having to go without sleep and of hav-
ing to remain on duty when they
should be in bed.
This is not only bad for the men,
but subjects the public to serious risk.
Every effort should be made on the
part of the street car management to
follow the example of Mr.. Let's and
reduce the working hours of the men.
If considerations of regard or mercy
for the men do not bring about this
reform, then let it be brought about
by considerations of regard and mercy
for the public, the members of which
may be exposed to serious risk by the
physical condition of an overworlSed
and unslept motormnn.

morning machine organ, which with
customary rabid enthusiasm had es-
poused and championed the wrong
cause and supported the wrong men,
was forced to eat crow pie, an eX-
perience which it accompanied with
many wry faces and a loud, roaring
noise which finally died away to a
whistly whimper.
During this year, which marks the
completion of the first decade of the
twentieth century, and during the Sec
ond decade. the maritime commercial
development of Los Angeles will be no
less remarkable than the landward ex-
pansion that has made it the wonder
city of the west.
A book might be written on the mar
velous moral and material progress of
Los Angeles in 1909. In the life of the
city, the year was little less than revo-
lutionary, but like the old revolution
that established the United States our
glorious governmental revolution in
Greater Los Angeles has given to us
and to the nation improved conditions.
The nation has in Greater Los Angeles
a better city, organized, notfor the ag-
grandizement of corporation or other
interests, but for the production of the
greatest good for the greatest number,
for the true prosperity of our great city
and of all its citizens, and for demon
stration of the Los Angeles way that
will be a triumph for good American
ism, good citizenship and good govern
ment.
Proud of the good government which
this happy new year brings as a
precious gift to Los Angeles, The Her
aid pledges a continuance of disin-
terested, patriotic effort to make Greater
Los Angeles THE BEST CITY IN THE
UNITED STATES, THE BEST CITY
IN THE WORLD.
In the officials who will administer
the public affairs of this city we hope
and expect to find stewards worthy of
their stewardship, worthy of the re-
sponsibility which has been placed upon
them, true to the trust that has been
reposed in them, true to themselves.
true to their fellow citizens, true to
Greater Los Angeles, true to American
lsm' true to the Los Angeles way"

JUDGE WORKS ADDRESS

FUDGE WORKS address to the new
council was a mastery review of
- the conditions which good govern
ment must deal with, and a broad and
all embracing promise of a thorough,
general reform in every branch and de-
partment of the city government.
Henceforth the city government will
be conducted for the greatest good of
the greatest number of citizens, and
economy and efficiency win be substi-
tuted for corruption and carelessness.
Judge Works promises to all officials
desirous of giving the city square
deal the earnest support and encour-
agement OF the council in every effort
to elevate the public service.
Judge Works address shows the
great insight into public affairs, into
methods of dealing with them, and into
general conditions possessed by him,
and citizens will read it with the
knowledge that Judge orks will be as
good as his word, and will be notable
contributor to the governmental his
tory of Greater Los Angeles.

total was $3,140,945, an increase of

be noted in its condition will be due
to the constant increase of the total

toward womankind. I do not mean
that the modern woman herself seeks
the devotion of the knights of the blue
pencil and red ink. Justice is what
she claims IN art matters. But when
in reply to her prayer for justice she
receives flattery, who is to point out
so fine d distinction?
THE question is indeed not one of
sex discrimination, but of fundamental
sex variation in expression, which may
only be changed by what some call
progress, and some call devastation,
in our social system, but scarcely af-
fected by the triumph of the suf-
fragette or by any greater tribute to
the modern woman's brain or beauty.
For, far back of all this sex variation
in expression lies the great fact that
true art must forever reflect existing
conditions of life; in other words, a
painting must be saturated with the
outlook of the painter, and his out
look in turn must be great or small as
the life he lives affords him freedom
The monk and the nonconformist
alike are bound back from productive
art by the limits of renunciation; the
scientist by the limitations of mathe-
MATES, the royal man by the limita-
tions of formalities. And so, great art
does not flourish in the monastery, in
the laboratory or in the palace. For
it has always demanded freedom, lib
erty to think straight and see clear,
a perfect freedom from observation
and experience. 1t is this freedom,
rendered widely divergent in express
sion by the impress of varying tmper-
ament, that produces valuable perma-
nent art which becomes a part of the
nations growth. And woman, the
world over, in all civilized and in most
primitive lands, has not this freedom.
In the east, zenanas; in the west, So
Cial usage, render woman more or less
Intellectual in relation to art.
mot inevitably so, of course; there
are a few women who are great as
men are great; in music, painting,
sculpture and in literature, which is a
more subjective art, the number is ever
on the increase. But up on high
Olympus, where, according to tradi-
tion, genius congregates the seats re-
served for women are pretty generally
empty. In the past fifty years I doubt
if a dozen women have been admitted,
and these representing all the arts; not
because women have mot been develop
ing a steadily increasing interest in all
higher expressions of life, but rather
because they have not had combined
the great gift itself and the capacity
or courage for absolute freedom of soul
and mind" :.
"And the fact of the justice or injus-
tice of it is not what we are consider
ing, but merely the actuality of the
condition.

Horns on Horses Skull.

English horse showing pair Of
rudfmentary horns on the forehead.
Older specimens are a portion of a
similar skull with the horns and mod
els of the foreheads of two thorough.
breds having horns. The skin extends
uniformly over the horns, with no sign
of thickening or hardening. Just what
these hornlike growths signify is per.
picking natura,ists, as none of the an
cestral horses or Immediately related
species were horned animals, and if
there is no hereditary influence it is
remarkable that so manv freak ap-
