CALLS ATTENTION
TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Rev, Bernard G. Braskamp breaches
Sermon on "The Call to
Character"

In a sermon on THE Call to Char
acter." del vered by the Rev. Bernard
G. Braskamp assistant minister of the
Church Of the Covenant, at the Covenant
tent last night. special attention was
directed to the approaching opening of
the public and private schools of WASH
ington.
Although the only minister in the Ma
tional Capital who responded to the re-
quest of the National Reform Society
asking the clergy to make the second
Sunday of September a day of prayer
for schools and of sermons on moral and
religious aspects of edcuation. the fact
that Wsshington's school season Is at
least two weeks later-i in opening than
in most cities. may. it is said. be the
occasion OF many clergymen delaying
response. Two, at least, SO suggested
to The Herald in response to inquiry
last evening.
Mr.. Braskamp declared that the su-
preme end of education Is the building
of character. and that in reckoning the
value of textbooks and teachers the
four gospels were without equal in the
field of ethics. and that Jesus teaching
was without rival in character-building
fundamentals.
Il would urge parents to place the
Four Gospels within each reach of the
children" said the preacher. Il would
have their minds saturated with these
parallels. stories, and principles. Here
We have the sure foundation which no
man can invade.
Three essentials in character building
I would name as most important, now
as never before perhaps. because OF the
age in which we live. They are self
culture, altruism. and piety. Piety
means to me giving God first place in
thought and deed"

MONEY SYSTEM
BREEDS PANICS
Secretary MaCveagh Urges Re-
form of Our Currency
MUST LET OUT CASH HOARD
Outlines Reforms to Make Finance
Stable-Estimates That New Pres.
ident Will Run Into a Heavy
Deficit in First Fiscal Year.

Washington. n.-Radical reform OF the
ing and currency system of the United
States is urged by Franklin Mac
Veagh, Secretary of the Treasury, in
his annual report to Congress. He
gives warning that the Federal Gov
ernment, as long as the present
scheme exists, will be exclusively re-
sponsible for the commercial, indus
trial and social disasters which flow
from panics, and attack, directly or
indirectly, every home in the nation.
The present system promotes and
develops panics, and legislation is ur-
gent, declares Mr.. MacVeagh, in out
lining his idea of the necessary gen.
eral provisions of an adequate relief
measure.
These provisions, as stated by Mr..
MacNeagh, follow:
Neverfailing reserves and new
er-failing currency, and the per-
feet elasticity and flexibility OF
both.
Permanent organization and or
ganized cooperation of the banks,
which are now suffering and caus-
ing the nation to suffer by reason
of their unorganized state.
A central agency, to represent
and act for the organized and CO.
operative banks-this agency to
be securely free from political or
trust control, but with the Govern
ment having adequate and inti-
mate supervision of it.
independent banking units--so
independent that no one bank can
be owned, controlled or shared in
in any degree, directly or indirect
ly, by any other bank.
Equality Of all banks, national
or State. both as to standards and
as to functions-so that every re-
quirement made of a national bank
must be complied with equally by
a State bank, and every function
or privilege enjoyed by State
bank shall be enjoyed by ma
tional bank.
Utilization and fiuidity of bank
assets.
Scientific development of ex-
changes, domestic and foreign.
Foreign banking as an adjunct
of our foreign commerce.
Taking the Treasury Department
out Of the banking business.
Mr.. MacVeagh says the people are
helpless under existing evils.
According to the estimates Of the
Treasury Department, the Secretary
foresees a deficit of s22.556.O23, exclu.
sive OF Panama Canal expenditures,
for the fiscal year ending June 80.

Dreadnoughts to Aid England
GERMAN INCREASE, WARNING
Borden Explains Scheme-DweIIs on
Burden Imposed on Mother Coun-
try by Aggressive Naval Policy of
Germany, Advising Cooperation

Ottawa. Canada proposes to add
three OF the most powerful battleships
atioat, at cost of $35, 100000, to the
naval defence Of the British Empire
This policy was announced in the
House of Commons by Premier Robert
l.. Borden, in long and carefully
prepared address, in which he review
ed the status of naval affairs in the
world and told of the burden which
had been thrown on the mother coun
try by the aggressive naval policy OF
Germany in particular
Great public interest has been dis
played in the question, and the knowl
edge that the announcement of Can.
ada's policy was TO be made caused
the floor and galleries to be crowded
with members and spectators. The
Duke Of COnnaught, Governor Genera
Of the Dominion, was present.
IN the new order of things Canada
will have a voice in foreign affairs
Premier Borden announced, adding:
when Great Britain no longer as.
sumes sole responsibility for defense
upon the high seas, she can no longer
undertake to cssume sole responsible
ity for the sole control of foreign pol
icy
Twelve years ago the British navy
and flag were predominant on every
ocean in the world. To-day they are
predominant nowhere except in the
North Sea"
The ships would be built In England
to save time and cost, but a Canadian
shipbuilding industry would be foster
ed, the Admiralty ordering some of its
small cruisers and auxiliary vessels in
Canada.

There are almost two sides TO the
simple little facts OF life There is
this matter OF drinking water at ones
meals. II has been regarded as mis-
erable habit The school textbooks
teach II that way. and they give very
impressive reasons for It. 1t used to
be taught-drink at your meals, II
you feel like It, drink all you want;
II is good for you; helps digestion.
Then came the opposite doctrine,
never drink at your meals and not
for an hour afterward, and that Idea
has prevailed and is n part OF our wis,
school knowledge these days. Now
comes Professor Hawk OF the Univer.
sity OF Illinois who has been study
Ing the subject for seven years, and
his conclusion Is that water-drinking
at meals helps digestion, principally
by utilizing the protein food, which is
regarded as the most important func-
ton OF digestion. says the Ohio Jour
nay. Then. fluids help digest the fats
and throttle the bacteria that range
along the alimentary canal and keep
stirring up all sorts OF tumults. SO
the latest information Is not to let
anybody scare you about drinking wa
ter at your meals. Just drink what
you want and forget about IT.

Figures published by the federal bu'

the rewards of genius engaged in the
educational field aBe considerably be-
low those attainable In other OF the
learned professions and in many indus

head of state-aided institution OF

sity OF California, who receives $l2.-
900 a year and house. The president
of Cornell university and the Uni
versity of Illinois, each receive $lO,-
600 a year and house. and the presi-
dent OF the University OF Minnesota,
$4,000 year without house. Other
presidents salaries run down as low
as $2,400. The best paid full professor
enjoys an income OF $4,000 a year,
and the least paid tutor struggles along
on an allowance OF $50. When 1t is
considered that there are lawyers In
the country earning from $4,000 to
