ton 1t is recalled that Henri Berg
son, while at college. wrote a treatise
on mathematics Of such brilliance
that the government rewarded it by
from military service. Con-
corning such cases the New York
Post develops this theory:
would any government be justified
in sending an artist Of genius like
Kreisler or a world-famous philos-
optical writer like Henri Bergson to
take his chances on the firing line ?
Probably the situation Is easier for
the government in question than for
the individual. The state is in a posi-
ton to declare that her distinguished
son ran do mor for his country by
avoiding the chances Of war and serv-
ing her in the field Of his special
genius. But the beneficiary may find
1t hard under the code Of personal
honor to take advantage of such an
exemption"
This is the modern version Of the
old theory Of class privilege under
which in the English navy and army
a little more than a century ago. when
an officer succeeded to a title or great
estate. he resigned his dangerous po-
sit;on and went home to enjoy his
inherited honors. 1t is true that the
modern survival pays more respect to
mental or artistic qualities and less
to aristocratic rank. But the founda-
ton is the same, that there are GER
tain classes So precious to the state
that their members must be held ex-
empt from the perils OF military serv-
ice.
1t may be possible to give such a
theory practical application in coun-
tries wholly subject to class privileges.
But it will not bear examination. Is
the function of a musical genius or a
great philosopher more necessary to
the state. or more sacred to humanity,
than the duty of the common man to
support his family and make up in
the aggregate the production and
prosperity Of the nation? Is life more
precious 10 the famous and talented
than to the average toiler: If YOU
begin the practice of exemption on ac.
count Of one calling or another. where
are you to stop?
We do not think that a government
where intelligence reigns can say tina,
n class is too superior, while the
common mass is fit food for Powder.
That would destroy patriotism and
make the armies sullen and unreliable.

THE DAY OF THANKS.

Today the tables Of a nation are
ladened with the things that make
Thanksgiving a distinctive national
holiday. We have gotten far away
from much that marked the original
day in the almost dim past of New
England's history. Nor do we app
proach the occasion with the religious
spiri, and feeling that prompted its
recommendation for observance by
President Lincoln in the days when
the nations life hung in the balance.
But with the changes has come a more
national character in the observance.
Today We give thanks. spoken or
implied, for the bounteous harvest
that has rewarded the tillers Of the
soil. In the New England days. the
feast meant thanksgiving for a har-
vest that assured the Pilgrims against
starvation. They saw no hope of lux.
urv and were thankful that enough
corr had been raised to give each
s%ustenance through the winter. When
President Lincoln made the observ-
ance Of the day q fixed affair, he did
so that the people might give thanks
for the success that had come to the
asns Of the nation in its bitter in
ternal a :
The things which called Thanksgiv-
ing into existence and those which
made it permanent are absent today.
We have not passed through any Pc
riod Of starvation and so rejoice tina,
Providence has bestowed upon the
land a crop suficient for our barest
sustenance; neither are there wars and
armies to redden the soil with blood
and obscure the sunset sky with the
smoke Of battle. Instead. our granar-
les. fguratively. are bursting with the
products Of the garnered harvest.
There is enough to feed all and to
spare; benign peace smiles upon US
and the thought Of war is far from
US.
1t is we'll, however, to pause for
this day in our busy life and reflect
upon the Power from whence comes
all blessings of mankind. Whether
with Jefferson. we as individuals,
doubt the wisdom Of recognizing eth
er God or religion in our national life,
or whether we blend these elements
as completely as the Puritans, 1t is
good for the nation that the public
mind i. turned for a day to Hin,
who makes and unmakes nations and
peoples by the mysterious though none
the less forcible power Of evolution
and revolution.

ARE cH1nDREN MORE nAwnEss:

Are the boys, and many of the
young girls, Of the present day more
unruly than those of the last genera
ton? Are they as respectful and re-
sponeive to authority? Judge Morgan
Ryan of the Brooklyn children's court
"a emphatically that they are not.
an opinion that will be shared by
many. Who IL to blame. he asks.
the police, the courts. the schools or
the parents? And his answer is just
as emphatic placing the responsibility
upon the neglect and indifference Of
parents, another conclusion that must
find wide approval.
His experience in the children's
court has convinced him that three
fourths Of all cases of juvenile delin-
quency may be traced directly or in
directly to parental evasion Of re-
sponsibility. The same thought must
have occurred frequently to the aver
axe Newspaper reader Of reports of
Juvenile crime and minor offences. just
as it must have struck many who
have been shocked by the imperti-
nence Of youngsters in industry or
business, who in another day would
have been soundly trounced to teach
them better.
judge Ryan believes in the maxim
about sparing the rod spelling the
child. He thinks the only way to re-
form conditions is the restoration Of
the power to infict corporal punish
ment in the schools. Not hat he be-
lieves the application would be neces-
sary often. but that moral suasion is
much more likely to be effective If
supported by the power to adopt
sterner when 1t is not ac-
copied in proper spirit. A school
teacher himself years ago, with power
to punish, he found. he says, 1t was
necessary only once to use it. The
fact that he had the power was a sufi1-
cient deterrent.
Nowadays the unruly pupil. finding
he can defy the school teacher with
impunity, carries the same reckless
contempt for law and authority out
side. Since 30 many parents ignore
their duty to instill moral and ethical
training in their young. he thinks the
state must do it in the schools as q
measure of self-defense against the
increasing need for the services Of the
police and the courts to contend with
effects that should have been pre-
vented . The state Is taking over so
many things, touching the physical
condition Of school children, formerly
supposed to be attended 10 by parents,
1t Is pertinent to inquire whether it
should not itself as much with
their moral condition, surely Of just as
vital Importance to the community.
