superintendent Mcdaniel in his arti-
Gle says in part:
"s All engaged in educational
work believe that we have emphasized
the course of study to the detrimen
of the child by forcing all pupils to
fit the course of study rather than
adapting 1t to the needs of the child:
that we have shaped the curricula of
our high schools to the demands of
the college and the university and lost
sight of the ninety-nine that will go
neither to college nor university, but
have gone out to toll in field and fac
tory and have become a part of that
great middle class that forms the very
back bone of our national existence.
''The people are not so much inter
ested in the definition of education as
they are in their boys and girls. nor
are they so much interested in q
scheme of education they are in
what education may do for their boys
and girls.
"They are beginning to demand In
no uncertain terms that they get in

lieve they have q right to make this

make these demands, the more quick

Hammond is an Industrial conmu-
nifty. 1t has more than fifty factories
representing almost every line of ac-
tivity. A boy or girl who may be dis
satisfied with school conditions needs
to use little persuasion with his par
ents to get their permission to go tt
work; especially when they may re.

DIAX AGAIN.

Two years ago Profirio Diaz was deposed and
his place as president OF Mexico was taken
by Madero. Today Madero is deposed ana
another Diaz has the government of the country
within his grasp.
The return to a benevolent despotism Of
the Diaz type is probable Certainly, the plans
of the ideahstic Madero have been proven un-
suitable to Mexico. The deposed president was
too visionary for success. He wished to estab-
ish a free government in a country in
which freedom license. Much has
been written of the tyranny OF Diaz,
but the old despot at least maintained
order and without order there can be no liberty.
The first function of government is protection
of life and property and people VINO lack such

COMMENT
The New Senatorial Courtesy.

senatorial courtesy viii have new mourning
II the iilionois Legislature bowers the upper
chamber with the membership OF Colonel Jim
Ham Lewis. In addition to doing very well
thank you, in the profession of the law, Col
onel Lewis has ever nicely observed-nay he
has constantly improved upon--the current
amenities OF our everyday life. He fills the void
created in the world by the death Of Lord Ches-
terrified; in fact, we believe were the two
brought together in the flesh, Chesterfield would
be as faded daguerreotype beside the Kline
macolor.
Senatorial courtesy is generic term for the
accomm odatng spirit OF senators in matters of
legislation. Outwardly the senate is a quiet
and civil, but not a courtly body The record
of the debates abounds in evidence of polite
ness, but frills
We expect that Colonel Lewis will If elected
senator from Illinois, endow the colorless man
ners of the senate with distinction His
disposition to strew the pathway of his fellow
man with flowers of appreciation is indicated
in the statement of his senatorial campaign
expenses, recently filed with the secretary of
the senate Washington Herald.

VIRGINIA AND CALIFORNIA.

In acquiescing yesterday in the request OF W.
Jefferson Davis. commissioner at large for the
Panama-Californis Exposition, to appoint
commission from Virginia to visit the site and
report back to the coming legislature as to the
scope and character OF the exposition project
and the desirability of Virginia being repre-
scented. Governor Mann, without committing
himself, acted wisely, realizing the force Of the
argument in favor of Virginia exhibit at San
Diego commensurate with the results which
may be achieved by proper exploitation OF the
great resources of the State
1t is pleasant to think of having at San Diego
the place Of first things" where history began
on the Pacific coast with the landing of Father
Sierra an exhibit from Virginia with its James
town, where the first settlements were made
on the Atlantic seaboard. But the historical
significance of exhibit from Virginia at the
San Diego Exposition is of secondary impor
lance In comparison with the results from u
commercial standpoint. Norfolk and Newport
News are distributing ports for the great indus
tries of Virginia, and are points of outlet as
well for the great shipments of coal and coke
of West Virginia, which through the medium
of the Panama Canal can be transported at the
minimum rate, and placed in competition with
similar shipments from the Pacific Coast States
II is significant also that today the interests
Of the two Vrginias are identical, and that after
having been rended along her Appalachian back
bone through the exigencies of war. the result
ing present day condition, following the last
analysis in the shrinkage of Virginia territory
should be the new alignment of the two Yir
ginias, both standing today on the common
ground Of mutual interest and relationship.
