U. S. THE LARGEST CONSUMER
This Country Uses Almost Half o
All the Metals Produced.

Two thousand years or less age,
when the Roman Empire dominated
all that was called civilization. and
much that wasn't, the use of metals,
or even minerals. aside from stone,
was very limited. The human race
consumed about one pound of iron
each year and much less than that vi
copper. Lead, tin and zinc were used
to some extent, but coal was almost
unknown. There were supplies of gold
and silver from the remotest civiliz:,-
ton, but nothing compared with pres
ent stocks. Compared with this CON
dition, the official statistics of the
YIELD OF metals for last year is inter-
esting. There were more than Co.
600, 900 tons OF pig iron produced, Of
which this country yielded almost one
half, while half of the more than fifty
million tons of steel came from this
country. This is about 24O pounds
per capita of pig iron from the half a
billion people who may be considered
to have some civilization. In this
country the consumption was over 500
pounds per capita.
There were $4,000 long tons of COP
per produced, of which this country
yielded almost 10000 tons and con-
| nf hp
over a million tons. OF which this
country produced Slightly more than a
third. Over 100000 tons of tin were
dug up, of which this country produced
none and consumed AZ per cent. OF
! the 10000 tons of zinc we produc I'd
about one-third and over one-half of
the 10000 tons of nickel.
These figures show the largest pro.
duction in the history of the world
with this country being the largest
consumer-in fact. taking almost half
OF all kinds of metals which were dug
from the earth. Coal is not included
! in the estimate. but if it were we
should be found producing and con-
suming about 40O.000.OO0 metric tons
of the 1.OOO,OOO,OOO produced in the
world, the metric ton being slightly
less than our long ton. OF all the
metals and minerals produced coal
shows the greatest waste. At best it
yields but l. per cent of its poten-
tiality. and much of what it produces
by this fraction is soon lost to the
world But of the metals there is no
great factor of loss.-Philadelphia In

J. nj. Greenwood Asserts That

TEN MINUTES A DAY STUDY

That 45 per cent Of the high school
students can not spell correctly is the
estimate of J. NJ. Greenwood, superin-
tendent of public schools in Kansas
City after forty years experience.
Mr.. Greenwood advocates that ten
minutes day should be spent in high
school for spelling lessons. The study
| OF spelling now terminates when the
lpupil finishes the elementary school.
1T would be surprise" said Su-
perintendent Greenwood, Ito learn how
! many OF the graduates of the high
| schools can not spell correctly. We
are inclined to view spelling as some
thing that pupil is bound to pick up
I by the wayside, as he studies litera-
| rure Or other books.
Recitation Papers IIIegible.
But, to spell correctly and to write
a fairly legible hand are no mean ac-
complishments. Many of the recita-
tion papers handed in by the high
school pupils are scarcely readable.
There is so much scribbling in note
taking that the pupils writing. which
is usually very legible in the ele-
mentary schools, becomes in many
cases almost illegible at the time of
graduation. The written spelling eX-

both defects and it would be most
valuable to the pupils.
There are other subjects, such as
geography, United States history and
English grammar, that should be re-
viewed in the latter half of the fourt h
year of high school work, in my opin-
ion. In four years, having their minis
centered on high school subjects. many
principles and facts learned in the
common branches have been forgo,
ten, and such review would bring
them back in newer relations and fl
them permanently in the minds of the
graduates.
Review Old Subjects.
"The habit that many pupils have o
tselling their school books as soon I:
fthey take up a new subject is bat
lone. Each pupil should make it {

NEWSPAPER MIRROR OF TIMES
Can't Blame City Daily For Using
LANGUAGE of People.

J Language Of People.
Various writer's of late have been
discussing the question of American
| English.
The prevailing opinion OF these pu-
irists seems to be that in speech anu
writing the average American is SLOW
!enly, inaccurate and slangy; that his
slipshod diction is in painful contrast
with that of the Englishman, French
man or German, and that these facts
constitute a national disgrace.
With the general proposition that
| the man in the street is not literary
purist, that his patois is open to crit
! icism on the score of an excessive
use of vulgar idiom, NO one, we take
it, will quarrel. But the same defects
are characteristic of all growing Ian
guages and peoples.
! 1t was inevitable that the trans
planting of English to America would
stir up the old verbal roots and start
them into new life. There is GER
itain rankness about all growth and
weeds spring up in fresh soil, verbal
as well as vegetable. Time is a cer-
tain corrective of these defects.
| Doubtless, too, the process can be
accelerated by devoting more time to
study of language in our schools. Re-
garding the usefulness of newspapers
in promoting such reform there is
room for argument. They are blamed
by not few critics for the conditions
criticised. One writer says:
THE great majority of American
newspapers are evidently edited by
highly incompetent persons" and then
goes on to explain that their careless
use of words and .'indisposition to-
ward fine distinctions" promote men
tai laziness and coarse thinking
This condition Of mind betrays a
totally wrong impression OF the news
papers place in the modern social fab
ric. 1t is essentially mirror of the
times. If it never spoke the language
of the times few people would read it.

Blaming a newspaper for quoting
