NEWARK POST, NEWARK, DEL, OIIOoIN - -

the same machinery. AS a result
there has grown a great unrest IN
the land. This, of course, is due
to number OF causes, only one
OF which it would seem proper for
me to speak o: at this time.
AS there was in 1865 a shortage
of young men being scientifically
educated, so is there now a short
age of young men being taught
the principles and science OF prac-
tically administering a republican
form Of government. Forty-eight
States, with all the necessary ex-
ecutive officers, and 48 Legisla-
lures to make their laws, together
with Federal legislation and ad-
ministration. and the requirements
OF large municipalities, make de-
mand upon the country for men
adequately educated to legislate
and properly to administer the
laws which it has not been able to
fill.
1t seems to me that to meet
these conditions it is the duty OF
the universities and colleges to
establish, as one of the important
studies of their curriculum,
course on national, state and NUM-
cipal government, and by making
one OF the requirements OF enter
ing examinations a rudimentary
knowledge of such course spread
education along these lines among
the preparatory schools AS well as
the colleges OF the United States.
This country prospered under
existing conditions to a degree
unknown to history, and yet there
is dissatisfaction, some OF it well
founded, some of it baseless. In
analyzing conditions and prescpib,
ing remedies, as was natural, n1aiiy
mistakes have been made-fa1
more, in my judgment, than would
have been the case if the character
of education which l am suggest
ing had been inaugurated rs years
ago. | speak thus confidently be-
cause it is natural for a large por-
ton of the young men OF the
country, and particularly those
who seek higher education, tC
become interested in politics, ane
if taught fundamental principle
|; and how to consider carefully al
sides of important questions th'
majority would reach correct con
clusions and carry their friend
> with them. AS it is, the large par
q of Our young men are left to pic
, up their political views through as
socation, family tradition or ran
dom reading.

CITIZENSHIP
TRAINING NEEDED

At the Founders Days celebra-
ton at Lehigh University on last
Saturday President McCrea, OF
Pennsylvania Railroad, made an
interesting address. In our great
business successes and pleas for
conservation, he sees a need for
training for citizenship and thinks
our colleges should lay more
stress on this part of the curricu-
lum.
He said in part:

TION.

to 90 millions OF people, governed,

THE CORN SONG

Heap high the farmers wintry
hoard!
Heap high the golden corn!
No richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn!
Let other lands, exulting, CLEAN
The apple from the pine,
The orange from its glossy green,
The cluster from the vine;
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bestow,
To cheer us when the storm shall
drift
Our harvest fields with snow.
Through wales OF grass and meads
OF flowers,
Our plows their burrows made,
While on the hills the sun and
showers
OF changeful April played.
We dropped the seed Ger hill and
plain,
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from Our sprouting
grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long, bright days
of June,
Its leaves grew green and fair,
And waved in hot midsummer's
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now with Autumn's moonlit
ewes,
It's harvest time has come,
We pluck away the frosted leaves,
And bear the treasure home.
| X X
Let earth withhold her goodly
root,
| Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the orchards
| fruit,
| The wheat field to the fly;
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us for the golden corn,
Send up our thanks to God!

Efficient CHRISTIAN
ENDEAVOR SOCIETIES

AT the Atlantic City convention
OF Christian Endeavor it was an
nounced that as the two years past
had been devoted to an increase
campaign, SO the two years in
tervening between the convention
OF 1911 and 1913 at Los Angeles
would be devoted to campaign
for the increase OF efficiency. In
order to set definite aims for work
in this direction, President Clark
and General Secretary Shaw have
put forth a scheme of standards
by which each society may rate
itself as to its effectiveness.
On a basis o: 100 per cent.
credits are apportioned for the
successful fulfllment of various
Christian Endeavor activities and
the realization of particular Chris
tan ideals. AS first step cate
chism on the duties OF various
Christian Endeavor committees
has been prepared, which all
Christian Endeavorers are invited
to study. Such as are able to an
swer three-fourths OF the ques-
tions in ian examination before
three adult members of the church,
are to receive the title of Chris
tan Endeavor Expert and it is
proposed that no member shall be
allowed to serve on any Christian
Endeavor committee unless he
can give satisfactory response to
three-fourths Of the questions re-
lating to the duties Of his own
committee. A society that carries
out this scheme is to have a credit
of Q per cent on the Schedule OF
standards
An executive committee which
holds meeting once month and
has reports from each subordl-
nate committee is worthy 4 per
cent credit. Likewise, efficient
prayer meeting, lookout and mis-
sionary committees earn respec-
lively as much. The information,
flower, good literature, Sunday
school, citizenship and junior COM
mittees are worth per cent eacf
to the standing of the society il
they do their work well. If three.
fourths OF the active members art
prepared to offer public prayer
per cent shall be added to the
reckoning, and as much more
when three-fourths are ready tt
give individual testimony in praye,
meeting. A conservation meet
ing where Shree-fourths respont
to roll call brings 3 per cen
credit, and a similar proportion
of members available for praye
meeting leaders enhances the re
cord by 3 per cent. Good singing
we'll maintained, successful busi
ness meetings and at least six soc
ials a year count 3 per cent TO
each specification. A society
half of whose members are tithers
and which includes a persona
workers band in the list, gets
per cent on each of these items
while society with threefourth
of active members observing tn
"quiet hour" .or private devotio
is rewarded with 5 per Ger
credit. Full faithfulness at churc
services wins 6 per cent and hde
ity to the pastor 3 per cent. Th
remaining I2 per cent is rated o
support Of the local Christian Er
deavor union, the increase of til
list of honorary and associa
members and the maintenance {
some study course, either in mi
sions, church history, Christia
evidences or denominational p'
lity.

Barnes and West at Park.

The Park was crowded on Saturday
evening to witness the admirable pro-
gram submitted by Manager Congdon.
OF course, Barnes and West were the
star items on the bill, and deservedly
so. These people are adding to the
high regulations they made in many
other parts of the world, the audience
here having placed it's hallmark of
approval on the newcomers. They
are wonderful dancers, and deserve all
the applause that they gain each even
ing. Their next change of program
which by the way will be made tonight
will include some good comedy, in
which they have also been successful.
Barnes and West should have a long
season in Honolulu. Howard and Ed
wards are still in the bill, and they
have increased in popularity each
night. The act that they were pre-
senting last week was good one,
and was certainly the best that they
have submitted They have a change
of program for tonight The Melnotte
sisters are also in the bill, and they
were successful in their college boy
song, which has been so popular here.
Some good films are being shown, es-
pecially that illustrating a visit to Rio
de Janeiro, in an Italian liner. The
picture of the sailing vessel met en-
route was a splendid one, and was a
link with the past, for owing to the
rapid decline of windjammers it is but
rarely that one has an opportunity of
seeing one under full sail

The Novelty.

There was a large crowd at the
Novelty on Saturday evening, who
appreciated very much the program
submitted to them. The Van Bark
leys are still appearing with their
usual success in sketches, while Lit
tie Jimmie is also contributing songs,
stories and dances by himself. These
people are now in their fifth week,
and their popularity shows no abate-
ment. Miss Margaret Lowell contri-
butes ballads each week, and they are
proving highly acceptable. AS usual,
there is a long series of well-selected
films, and these play no inconsider-
able part in the success with which
the Novelty has been meeting for
long time. The management expect
ed some new people by the CA. s.
Moana on Saturday, but for some in
applicable reason. thew did not come.
It is thought that they are on board
the Lurline, which is due to arrive on
Wednesday next from the coast. There
will be the usual matinees on Wednes-
day and Saturday next.

WASHINGTON, January Sit was
stated here today on good authority
that Wilton Woodville Rockhill, am
bassador to Russia, VIII succeed Os-
car c. Straus, who has resigned as
ambassador to Turkey, to which post
he was appointed by President Taft

Ambassador Rockbill has had a dis
tinguished career in the diplomatic
service of the United States, since
1884, when he became secretary of
the American legation at Picking. He
was also stationed at Seoul, Korea,
and was sent on a mission to China
and Tibet by the Smithsonian Insti-

States representative to China for
the settlement of the Boxer troubles
From 1897 to 1899 he was minister

national Bureau of American Repub-
lies by President Mckinley in 1893
and served until 1907 He was also
first assistant secretary in the depart
ment of state. In June, 1909, Presi
dent Taft appointed his ambassador
to Russia which post he still holds.
Ambassador Straus was first APP
pointed ambassador to Turkey in
1887, and made such a fine record
that during the recent troubles in
that country he was sent there as
ambassador for the second time. He
is member of the permanent court
of arbitration at S-1e Hague and was
formerly secretary of the department
of commerce and labor under Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

TOO FRIENDLY
TO ENGLAND

WASHINGTON, Dec, 27.-The
case of Commander William S. Sims
of the United States steamer Mime
sofa who, according to press reports,
delivered a distinctly pro- British
speech at a banquet at London on De-
cember 4th, is now in the hands of
President Taft.
Rear Admiral Murdoch, command
ing the third division Of the Atlantic
fleet, to which the Minnesota is at
tached, has made a cable reply to Sc
cretary Meyers request giving the
substance of the Commanders re-
marks. Meyer today referred the
matter to the President. No inkling
of the nature of Admiral Murdoch 5
cablegram was obtainable at the Ma
Wy Department.
Replying to the welcoming speech
of the Lord Mayor or London, Com
mander Sims, according to the press
dispatches, said that, speaking for
himself, he believed that if the time
ever came when the British empire
was menaced by an external enemy,
it might count on every man, every
drop of blood, every ship and every
dollar of its kindred across the sea
1t is noted that Commander Sims
was careful to say that the senti-
ments he expressed were only his
own personal views, and the point is
raised as to how far naval officer
can go in publicly declaring his opin-
ions when they bear an international
aspect.
