Sir.--Havlng read with much interest
your recent editorials relative to the
indifference of young men in the matter
of suffrage, | wish as school man to
go on record with the statement that
the lack Of practical school instruction
IN civics is the largest reason for the

In the schools OF Alexandria County
we have been trying to meet this need

permission. | desire to make the fol-

the subject of taxation. which is in the
course OF study for the seventh grade
IN our state school system. Just before
ths subject is reached in arithmetic.
the superintendent should call his
teachers together and impart to them
luli information regarding State and
county levies for all purposes, ana tile
assessment of property. Then let the
teachers be supplied with enough un-
used tax bills and personal property

THE FIREMEN,s ARBITRATION.

GIVES IN SCHOOLS.

The superintendent of the Alexandria
County schools writes to The Times
Dispatch thus: 81 wish as school man
that the lack OF practical instruction
in clvics is the largest reason for the
lethargy of young voters" He then
outlines in letter on this page q meth
cd of making children familiar. with
the intricacies of our tax system. Tax
alton as a part OF the course in civics
is made the basis for practical work
property heterogeneous are secured
from local officers and filled out by
the students. Thus concrete KNOWLEDGE
of governmental problems rs they
strike persons is given both to child
and teacher. Visits to the courthouse
and city hall for actual inspection and
study of the various departments are
also urged as ways of making civic
questions real and vital in the lives Of
future citizens.
We do not believe "Civics" as ordi-
narily taught achieves any particular
results I'm making good citizens or In
spring young men of twenty-one to
register and vote Civics is too remote
from to-day's paper TO be impressive
IL is too theoretical, and too much an
offshoot from history. The boy does
not realize that civics has anything to
do with Fairgrounds. or free swimming
pools. The course of study is not
hitched up to life.
Again, MIR. Hodges suggests Mat the
superintendent should instruct the
teachers concerning the assessment and
collection of taxes. Here he hits one
OF the points of failure of school taught
citizenship. How often are the super
intendents expert on governments
Rarely, we imagine. The teachers are
even less likely to understand the ac-
tual workings of State and county.
Most of them are women. They do not
vote themselves. They could not learn
the process of registering and voting
by experience If they had the desire
How can we expect them TO give real
and inspiring instruction to their pu-
pills? Whether this is an argument for
woman's suffrage or for male teachers,
we care not. But weakness i'm the
school teaching OF citizenship is plain
We do not know how many of the
delinquent voters in Richmond have
been taught books "civics." The in
struction they received seems 10 have
done small good. we should DO very
glad TO hear from the schools generally
as to the value OF teaching this sub
ject and the methods that will have
some helpful influence on tho young
men.
From results we judge the teaching
is not very successful. Yet it is plain
that the schools should do what Is
possible along these lines. To the prac-
teal lessons suggested by Mr. Hodges.
we add the hope that the ethics of citi-
zenship will be the fundamental OF
school cVics. The principles of gov
eminent arc not many or difficult The
hard task is To make young people feel
the responsibility of citizenship. and
to perform their individual and ines
capable share of the work. If the next
generation could be taught that taxes
are not to be shirked. but to be paid

tribution to the government that bone

MuRDERING CHILDHOOD.

II isn't the physical turkey trot that
Is making the people foolish 1t is
the mental turkey trot. Everything
and everybody is being speeded up until
centrifugal force is sending many a
good man whirling off into mild
hysteria. Even the child is not safe
from the resterings OF introspection
and theory. For example, here is a
list of questions that DIR. Frank Crane,
a man of Intelligence. wants PROFOUND
ed to boys and girls of fourteen:
/. What is Your Philosophy OF Life?
.. What will you do with the Sex
Problem?
3. What about Religion?
4. What about Education?
3. What part of the Worlds Work
are YOU going TO do?
The chief futility OF this attack upon
the blithcsome young is that they may
never know what the questioner is
talking about All those plangent
words with capital letters arc meaning
less TO the human animal who is
eagerly Questing the world for life
and sensation and experience. They
are all vague and general, while boys
and girls care only for the real and
concrete. The ordinary boy of fourteen
has, only one philosophy OF life: to
get enough 10 eat so he can grow. He
doesn't think about education because
his eycs and ears ana hands are too
busy educating themselves and tho
plastic mind from every bit OF tho
world he touches. There is no sex
problem for him. Sex is mystery. a
iumult OF emotions. concealments. Gu
riosity and idealism. His religion 10

the share of the worlds work he wants
TO DO is part OF some thrilling and
DANGEROUS romance.

MAY OPPOSE COURT BILLS
Gaynor Said to Disapprove Plan
for Giving Justices New Power.

Mayor Gaynor will hold a public hear
ing tomorrow upon three bills affecting
the courts. one would give majority
OF the justices Of the city Court the au-
thority 10 fix the compensation Of clerks,
deputy clerks. assistant clerks attend
ants. interpreters and other attaches of
the court. II provides that the salaries
so fixed shall be charge upon the city
Of New York
The Mayor is likely to veto the bill as
being opposed TO the principle that the
Board of Estimate should have control
OF all salaries The latter has several
times refused TO grant increases Of sal
aries for court attendants on the ground
that their pay was adequate.
Another bill provides that justices OF
the City Court who have served for six
teen years or more and have retired at
the expiration Of their terms OF office
shall be designated by the Appellate Di-
vision OF the Supreme Court as official
referees They are to be appointed for
life
Another bill amends the law passed in
1911. that justices OF the Municipal Court
who shall have served twenty-five years
or more and nave reached the age OF
sixty shall be made referees for life. by
cutting down the time Of service TO
twenty years and striking out any refer
