LOOSE CRITICISM

Apparently considering 1t is time to halt some
what, the uniformed and frequent mossback crit
cism OF the breadth of the average public school $
curriculum the federal bureau of education has
buetined a report IN which is discussed this cur
rent criticism.
We frequently hear that there are too many
subjects too many iads and inlls and hence neg
lect OF the three Rs says the report The
critics who utter this sort of criticism seldom
agree on eracty what the frlls are. but they in
vanably look back to a golden past when the
called fundamentals reading writing. and anth
metc. were taught IN such a way as never to be
forgotten As matter OF fact. the system OF
today Is immeasuraby ahead OF the school system
Of the past The growth has been steady What
ever may be sand against the enrichment OF the
OF study its iads and frills the contention
that the essentials so called have suffered in com
patson with the past falls flat
In discussing current criticism generally. the
report finds that much Of the criticism OF the pub
ho schools OF today is due to a marked change in
the purpose OF public education. The charge of
a curriculum behind the times. and the demand
for vocational subjects Represent no mere call for
different school subjects as such but a complete
transformation in the idea of what the public
school subject should do.

to be the changed purpose Of education. To reach

Senator Defenbach undertook to
overturn the recommendation of the
committee on privileges and elections
today with reference to his bill to
prohibit the sale of liquor in unincor-

counties. By its provisions no liquor
might be sold in village or town of
less area than one-half square mile,
when the town or village was not over
six months old. Senator Defenbach
explained that it was intended to shut
out the sale of liquor in logging camps
and the like, where there is no police
regulation.

gate the school of mines from the uni

With the removal of the school they
would also take major portion Of the

cripple the school from that side as

Armies Are Snowbound.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-The operations
of the five armies engaged in the Bal
kan war virtually have been brought
to a standstill by the wintry weather.
Snowstorms are frequent and the
roads are in deplorable state.
The daily official dispatches upon
which the world is now compelled to
rely for new from the theater of
war, repeat the stereotyped state
ment: Nothing Of Importance has

A dispatch today from CONSTANT

skirmishing on the front of the
Tchaltalja lines by Turkish volunteers
who claim some successes. These
must have been Of minor nature as,
earlier in the week, the Bulgarians
were said to have withdrawn further
to the westward. Roads in that
neighborhood are so bad that the
transport columns found it difficult
to keep the troops at the front sup
piled with provisions and amn,uni-
ton.
The news from the neighbork0od
of Adrianople is conflicting.
The Bulgarian war department
says only desultory fighting has been
in progress, but dispatch from

ate but ineffective assaults on the for
tress and bombarding it fruitless Y.
The correspondent confirms the re-
port sent to the Turkish war office
by Shukri Pasha, the military COM
mander of Adrianople, that he has
succeeded in getting a fresh supply of
provisions.
At Bulair the Bulgarian and Turk
ish armies are entrenched patiently
awaiting a break in the weather.
The only heavy fighting, except at
Adrianople, since the war IS re-
sumed, has taken place around Scu-
tari, where the Montenegrin army
now assisted by Servian troops has
failed to take the fortress.
The Montenegrins are most anx-
ious to capture the fortress, as Rus
sia has agreed to the Austrian de-
mand that it should be included in
the future Albanian state. With the
town once in his possession King Mich
Olas believes his brother SlaVS would
insist on it's retention by Montenegro.
The Greek army seems to be idle at
Janina.% An occasional report comes
through of a movement by Turkish
troops in Macedonia while the failure
of the Greeks to take Janina, which
is their objective, is regarded as an
other indication that there is lot
of fight left in the Ottomans in that
part of the country.
The Greek fleet now has extended
it's blockade of the Albanian coast
as far as Durazzo in order to stop the
re-victualing of the Turks in Scutari
and Macedonia. This action may give
rise to objections by Italy and Aus
tria on the ground that the blockade
is ineffective.
