The Cost of the Fear of War.

The fear of war is consuming the
homes of the rural and village popula-
tiens of Germany. France, Great
Britain, and the United States in a
single generation, according to bull
letin on the school observance of
Peace Day, which is soon to be issued
for. free distribution by the United
States Bureau of Education.
IN discussing the cost of war, the
bulletin says in part: War debt began
with the nineteenth century. Not
until the establishment of constitu-
tional government had nations any
credit in the world of finance. The
bond of a king was VIGOROUSLY bad

the nations have grown by leaps and

amounts TO more than $4,000. 100000,
bearing interest at the rate of s1,150,-
100000 per year. All these endless
caravans of ciphers' represent sums
which have never been paid, will
never be paid, can never be paid, SC
long as the present system of national
armament goes on. For practically
the entire amounts now raised by
taxation in civilized nations go into
the support of armies and navies. The
United States. in splendid isolation

enemy in the world, and bound by ties

nations, spends 70 per cent. of her in

The "Frats" Must Go.

The campaign which has been broad
against high school fraternities seems
to have received additional encourage
ment and impetus in recent months, If
we are to believe a report which has
Just been issued for free distribution by
the ". s. Bureau of Education. This
report says that twenty-five states
are enrolled in the movement and that
law makers and school authorities of
the country are joining hands with the
determination of doing away with the
"frats" in our school system. OF the
rs states 13 have passed legislative en-
while the school boards of important
cities in the other ~ states have adopt

risdiction.
