school, another $50, 600 fall out He
admits that many Of these quit
school, not because of failure, but
because they prefer-or their par

money. But a large percentage, he
says, quit because they fall. After
all these years in the grades, aided
and prodded by patient teachers, they
find 1t impossible to keep up with
the procession. and when the test
comes, drop by the wayside.
Now. here is a vitalproblem. How

The Problem of the Schools.

Fads and fancies have no legiti-
mate place In the conduct or curric-
ulum of our public schools. For that
reason 1t Is always regrettable when
leading educators give way to radical
suggestions Of reform and improve
ment. II Is little wonder that our
system OF public education Is criti-
cized when some OF these yagaries,
that come from the men and women
in charge OF the schools. are con-
sidered. The mere fact that the
system is quite imperfect does not
Justify ineautious utterances or ex-
IRENE measures OF reform. On the
contrary the imperfection would sug-
gest all the more wisdom in proceed
ing with changes. such as have been
made in some cities and states and
proposed in others OF late. No fad
should be tolerated and no expert
ment tried except in restricted field
where failure would do little harm.
The meeting OF the Department OF
Superintendents of the National
Education association at st. Louis,
according to reports. has given ex-
preston to some peculiar ideas, One
has right to expect the rIpest wis
dom from the school superintendents
but he certainly will find himself al
loss to determine what Is wisdom

Our Two Feet Of Snow.

Dispatches bring the welcome
news that the longest winter drouth
California has experienced In. ten
years has been broken, upon the ap-
proaeh OF spring, by q drenehing
rain. 1t is the habit of Californians
to commiserate "the east" as they
call the middle-west and the country
to the east OF US, upon our long and
severe winters. Their newspapers
this winter have been filled with
such comments, calculated to give
the natives, who have never seen
this country. awful ideas Of its rig
orous climate. Recently a San
Francisco paper dilated upon the
fact that back east they are wading
in snow two feet deep"
And 1t might have added. Laugh
ing and singing as they wade" for
two feet OF snow means lot OF val
liable moisture for the soil. which
will be turned into golden harvests
later on. While California has been
having the longest drouth known
In ten years. this part OF the coun-
try has been having the seyerest
winter known In ten years, with
more snow than has fallen in any
winter for a long time, but none too
much. Ours has been a natural
season. California's an unnatural
one. We shall benefit nightly
from all this cold and snow next
summer and autumn and. Of course,
we hope for the best for our friends
out west. who have the artificial aid
OF irrigation to help them out.
The land of the big SHOWS is also
the land OF the big natural resources
and products-the deep. rich soil
that produces the sturdy cereals that
make men rugged and nations
mighty. We cannot be too thankful
for our two feet of snow" and In
our gratitude we do not forget tC
turn and extend sympathy for oul
soft-aired neighbors In the drouth
stricken far west.

Teaching medicine by mail was
advocated the other day by the As
sociation Of Medical Colleges at a
meeting in Chicago. The professors
discussed the relative merits OF this
proposed system and the lecture and
clinic system, but no one evidently
advanced any good reason for the
correspondence course.
What is the necessity, what is the
demand for such a course? Medical
colleges are steadily increasing in
number and 50 are doctors and sur
geons. Hardly city Of any size can
be found that is not oyerrun with
medical practitioners. and yet the
graduates are being ground out

Commission Plan Decks Cleared.

The decision OF the supreme court
unfolding the validity Of the commits
sion plan law clears the decks for
making the proposed change in the
municipal government of Omaha.
The Bee has from the first pro-
eeeded on the theory that the law as
whole would stand, although some
provisions of il were open to ques-
ton, and our part in procuring the
petition on which II was submitted
for adoption assumed that the court
would hold as It has. At the same
time We recognized the desirability
of having the test made. II II was to
be made at all, as seemed inevitable.
before the next step in the form Of
choosing the commissioners who are
to inaugurate the new plan, rather
than to run the risk of the confusion
and complication that would result
from an adverse decision at later
stage.
knowing now that the law is con-
stitutional. that the commission plan
is to be tried. that whatever happens
the experiment will last for at least
four to six years. that the measure
OF success will depend on the human
equation, II becomes all the more i'm
portant for our people to arouse
themselves to the necessity of choos-
ing right when they make their selec-
tons OF commissioners. We do not
hesitate to say that from this stand
point the impending campaign means
more. and Is fraught with greater
benefit or danger to the future Of
Omaha. than any city election in its
history.

The Code Of Honor.

II is a we'll established rule that
confession made to priest is to
bo held -inviolable. and many a
churchman has suffered torture
rather than reveal what has come to
him through his sacred office. Com
munlcatlons between lawyer and eli
ent and between doctor and patient
under their respective professional
codes are likewise invested with the
lnyiolabllity OF q confidential rela-
ton. breach Of which constitutes an
objectionable sin, IL not a punishable
crime. t
But how far does the code OF
honor go. and to what extent Is a
person morally bound to respect con-
fidenee?
A striking example comes from
Lincoln where a woman witness last
week In q trial of another woman,
charged with conducting a disorderly
resort, defied the court by refusing
to divuige the names OF the men
who had accompanied her to the
place. Rather than violate her code
Of honor she took jail sentence for
contempt and suffered Imprisonment,
without whimper. When the ques'
lions we're pressed upon her, she per
sisted In declaring that her com
panions were business men whom
she would not drag into embarrass
ing Publicity. Her behavior In THU
respect brought her appreciativ'
floral offerings while incarceratet
behind the barred doors.
From this incident It Is plain thai
no matter how low down the socia
scale we go. there is code Of honor
taught and observed because It's Will
full violators would be regarded Al
despicable creatures In their owl
circle. And the best Of us must hav'
a spark OF admiration for the mai
or woman who, though social out
cast. adheres to his own idea o
honorable dealing and good faith
and even goes to jail rather thar

The Power Of self.Confidencc.

China's awakening Is forcible
lesson OF the invincible power OF
self-confldence. Four million Man
chus never could have ruled AGO.
10000 Chinese who appreciated
their strength. 1t was only because
China slept that 1t submitted for
centuries to the burdens which Its
rulers saw fit to impose, and no
telling how much longer It might
have slept on but for the prodding
and pulling of Its more courageous
friends abroad.
China Is stronger today only be-
cause II has aroused itself to some
conception of Its powers, to reliance
on these powers. and It will never
again submit to what for ages had
brought II the pity OF the world.
Not only will no little handful of
avaricious invaders ever set up SOW
ereignty over its domain again, no
little Japan will ever see the day
when II can make toy Of this gigan-
tic neighbor as II did in the sos.
Nations, no less than men. need a
degree Of self-confidence 10 enable
them to get on in the world. Boys
need 1t and they must get It early In
their boyhood II they are to amount
TO much. That big, overgrown lad
who has Just mildly taken a good
humping from that little shrimp
not more than half bis size, would
never have taken IL II he did not lacs
this essential quality OF self-confi'
dence. Boys and men, too. mus
fight to get on. not necessarily will
their fists. but with their brains anc
their hearts. and IL is a poor fighi
that lacks the spirit OF calm self
possession. That does not mean al
over-deyeloped ego-it means th'
sense to know what one is and whs
one can do and the grit to command
these powers for all they are worth
