REGULATING PLAY INSTINCT
German Method Of Directing YOUTH
full Impulses on Play
ground.

While watching the girls on a school
ground in Berlin one OF the first fine days
Of spring, 1 saw something OF the German
method Of regulating youthful impulses.
The busiest figure on the grounds was the
young woman overseer

the instructress; mot that way. You must
hold your hands so and be careful not
to step on the heels OF Ottilie." Trudchen
was a newcomer in the class and was being
taught how the play the German equivalent
Of London bridge is falling down.
AS 1t seemed rather absurd to carry the
spirit of the schoolroom into the smooth
graveled Enclosure with It's rectangles OF
| trimmed grass and flower beds on the mar
gins, l said to the young woman with
whom, presently, 1 was talking:
why shouldn't children like these be free
to do Just as they please in the play
ground? Why should they be bothered, ]

them at play?"
II might reply" said the teacher cheer
fully, that my work in the playyard is
provided for in the regulations of the min
istry of education, and that 1t is no affair
OF mine TO question those regulations, but
to carry them out. Yet the theory OF super

have almost two-thirds as many dread
noughts as England. Therefore. since Ger
many has an army infinitely more power
full than any England can hope to muster,
the British world supremacy Is in danger.
However, there is much less apprehension
in the world than there was a year ago,
and even pessimists admit the possibility
of continued peace. The real danger, so
far as the domestic British situation is con-
cerned, lies in the possible return to power
OF the tory party. 1t is traditional tory
tactics, not only in England, but in almost
every country. to avoid trying conclusions
with the democracy at home by inviting
the individual democrats to go forth and
get shot for the common glory of the
nation.
The Hngolstic imperialists of Britain are
mostly tories, and they would be a force
to reckon with in case the liberal govern
ment should be defeated in the coming
elections There is party in England
which believes that war is inevitable with
Germany and that the British cause would
be safer II Britain strikes as quickly as
possible, while the greater German navy
is still a matter of blue prints and esti-
mates. Since a foreign war always ends
domestic opposition in a patriotic country
the tories might be able to reconstruct the
crumbling bulwarks OF privilege while Mr.
T. Atkins liberal labor1te) was engaged In
being shot through the heart by German
bullet.
These things belong to the realm of re-
mote possibilities The probabilities are
that Great Britain will be so much con-
cerned with domestic politics for the next
two years that no war will result from
any British deed. Great Britain has real

1t needs a reform Of its taxation laws
at home and it needs closer federation
with the self-governing colonies. But
since the British empire is in essence the
British navy, both parties will agree that
! the naval supremacy must be maintai |
and under the goad of German activity
they will add burden upon burden of
taxation and will build dreadnoughts by
the score.

will be free to institute a system of indus
! trial and social reforms which probably
will fill the stomachs of the starving
! third but which also Is almost sure to

If the conservatives win 1t will mean
that the hope of democracy to control the
government by exercising the ballot is
at an end, for the lords would be re-
formed and confirmed in the possession of
legislative powers which they have not
exercised for nearly three centuries. What
such a permanent tory victory might
mean no man may say, but among its

The British Situation

ton Of whether or not the Commons was
TO control absolutely the taxing power Of
the nation was as yet unsettled Some
thing had to be done with the House Of
Lords The two parties we're lining up for
the battle over this momentous question,
the most important political problem the
English have had to solve since the reform
bill, when King Edward VII passed into
death
There was a truce. Both sides well
coined 1t. The government felt that II was
not yet strong enough to brush away the
complications and to present to the coun-
try the real issue involved-that of the
right OF the people to rule. The opposi-
ton felt that II was not yet ready to risk
Its all In another election. and there was
lack OF union on the question Of the tariff.
All parties agreed not to "embarrass" the
new king by preciptating a great consti-
tutional battle at the very beginning OF
his reign.
The leaders of both parties entered into
a series OF conferences looking toward an
agreement upon a compromise which would
satisfy both government and opposition.
What those conferences have done no
man knows, but IL is pretty generally be-
lieved that they will. result In much con-
versation and very little concession.
Neither side can yield anything without
yielding everything, as the difference be-
tween them is fundamental one. But at
any rate the conferences have served TO
keep down needless agitation.
Parliament devoted itself mostly to non
contentious legislation, its one notable act
being the revision of the kings oath The
portions of the oath denunciatory OF the
Roman Catholic church were expunged
the substitute pledging the king to the
support of the established church was de-
feated, and the king when he is crowned
next June will have to declare himself
only "a faithful Protestant" There have
been few greater victories for genuine
democracy in the whole history of the
British Parliament.
The Parliament will meet again in the
autumn, and then the existing truce may
come to an end at any time There will be
short and exciting campaign and the
electors of Great Britain will decide the
| question at the polls. Efforts will be made
to postpone that election until after the
coronation in June, but they may not be
successful.
In the meantime the German war scare
has bobbed up again as a result of the
collapse OF the effort to stem naval activity
in Germany. The British navy is still far
and away the strongest in the world. 1t is
stronger than the navies OF the next two
strongest powers combined. But 1t is con-
tended that the two-power standard nc
longer is sufficient, and that in order to
safeguard the interests of the empire the
the British navy must be twice as strong
as that of the next strongest power BY
the end of next year the German navy,
reckoned in terms Of dreadnoughts, and no
others seem to count, will be more than
half as strong as the British navy. BY
1915, at the present rate, the Germans will
