:, Germany to the Front y

bids fair to revolutionize the cotton
dyeing industry. Four-fifths of all the
dyes used in the world are made in
Germany.
Writers on the subject agree that
Germany's rush to the front" has
been the result of its attention to edu-
cation. Science and practice have ad-
vanced together The highly trained
research chemist is included in the
scheme, and so are the blacksmith in
the little village and the laborer on
the remote farm. Fine schools Of
commerce and the industries are pro-
vided, but if an apprentice or work:
man is too far away a teacher is sent
to him.
This is Germany's answer to the
problem Of world competition. Mr..
Cooley points out that Americas re-
sources, though great, are not infin-
lite, and that We must learn the les
Son Of efficiency in work if We are to
maintain our place. We can become
true democracy, he declared, only
when we are as much concerned
about training a good blacksmith as
We are about training a good lawyer,
when our system of schools offers
equal opportunities to all
This conclusion will be generally
accepted by those who have studied
the conditions under which nations
have prospered.

What is a good mother?
Is she simply an expert in the
three ks upheld by the German en-
peror as woman's lot-kinder, kuche
and kirche-children, cooking and
church?
Or must she be something bigger,
broader, finer, with more knowledge
of those things with which her chill
dren must come in contact and con-
corning which she should instruct
or warn or advise or sympathize?
A mother needs to be something
besides nurse, housekeeper and
churchgoer for the family. She needs
to be something besides a good
womane
Have you ever noticed, when read
ing the criminal news in the news
papers how often the girl or boy,
man or woman, who has gone
wrong, will say that their mother
was a good woman" Haven't you
read, again and again, the agonized
plea of some young criminal: Don't
let mother know-it would kill her"
Many wrong-doer began life un.
der the care of a mother who was a
good woman; whose dream was that
her children should be good chill
dren and who sacrificed her health
and strength and liberty for them
But though they were good women
they were not good mothers.
Less self-sacrifice, less physical
drudgery, less mind-starvation, LEST
isolation and sticking at home
would have given these mothers op
portunity to learn much by which
they might more wisely have guided
their children concerning the dan
gers and temptations of life.
If anybody on earth needs TO know
something of the world, to hav'
first-hand knowledge of things tina
go on outside the shelter of hom
walls, it is a mother. Else how, II
her ignorance, may she be a prope
= guide for her children who must g
out and confront situations and en-
vironments of which, at least, she il
dimly aware?
If she would always keep her chi
dren babies; always surround ther
with her authority, shield them b
her loving care-keep them in cotto
wool-she might continue to be tina
hearthside ideal of old. But tn
modern child goes forth at an earl
: age, learns from his fellows, sees an
hears and does things for himself
3 and if he hasn't had the blessed az
vantage of preparation by an usde
I standing mother, he's very apt I
r slide the wrong way.

Mr.. Asquith well knows that if home
rule is once established it will stick.
He makes no mistake in assuming that
the fight viii be over when self-gov-

Then whatever the ups and downs OF

Need Funds for Industrial Develop

-NSCu uhhS lOF DtNeIOD-
menL
Recently in connection with an ac-
count of the achievements of the
Rock Island club and Industrial
Commission in landing three new
industries for Rock Island, and the
fact that others are in pros
rect, member of the COM
mission, in an interview with The
Argus, spoke of the handicap the board
is laboring under for lack of funds. If
the Industrial commission, the member
went on to say, could get hold of
money 1t could bring in a number of
additional factories without delay, and
1t was suggested that the unco[
lected portion of the booster pledges
should be made available.
II will be remembered that many
of the subscribers to the booster fund
have held back on the ground that
they want to see tangible evidence of
industrial development before giving
further to the fund.
The tangible evidence is at hand
Three new factories, practically four
1t may be said, within a space of three
months. is pretty good evidence
that the club and commission
have struck the pace and are
doing things. But very little further
can be done without money. A Ger
tain portion of the uncollected fund
a percentage of It, at least, should
be apportioned and made collectablt
at once in order that it may be ap
piled for the purposes for which i
was originally designed
! The Industrial commission is doint
things. II needs financial aid in ordel
to do more. 1t has proven that it car
deliver the goods. 1t has other pros
poets in sight.
1t should be enabled to bring then
? to realization.

new rule concerning baggage after

Goodness is only one of the quail

HOW NATURE ASSERTS ITSELF.
Though some men and women
don't know it, and would deny it II
it was put to them, the instinct Of
parenthood lies dormant in every
normal human being. It's nature,
that's all.
Recently divorce case in Cleve-
land, o., brought this fact into prom
inence.
A man and a woman married.
They both declared they disliked
children. They lived with the mans
mother, who also claimed that she
hated babies.
By-and-by there was the prospect
of a little one. 1t was a most unwel-
come prospect to the man and his
wife. The mother-in-law raved.
She'd have no brat dirtying up her
house!"
There wasn't any joy in that
household when the baby arrived.
And maybe the lack of loving vel
come was what made the little thing
wistful and weak and by-and-by NOR
tally i'll.
1t was the illness that brought
out the dormant parenthood in the
mother and father. They began tc
love the tiny thing, and soon theil
love grew so strong that they quar-
relied about her, each wanting the
entire possession of her.
That's how the divorce suit be
gan. Today the mother has the child
and divorce, and the father IL

lost.
Too bad, isn't it?
