 of the United States increasing bulletin issued re-
 gently by the Russell Sage Foundation points out that ts country has shorter school day. school week. and shorter year than other highly civilized nation The district school still hangs the great educational sy tenn of the States with it's 90000OO pupils and its S5OO of yearly expenditure In the Little Red School House birthplace of so much that good and great hours short so that pupils might travel long distances and have time to do the chores In some States the legal school was only wentyegh weeks that the big boys might have time to work in the fields Saturday holiday for the same reason.
 In cities where rural precedens meaningless the Sat urday holiday continued absurdy long summer vacation allowed and term vacations holidays generous The result of dawdng is either to put student about two years French confrere leave dis astrous gaps his preparation for life
 strange thing that the United States which brides itself upon it's efficiency upon schools should not have brought the two closer together.

MORE SUFFRAGETTES IN
 PRISON IN LONDON
May BlIlinghurst and Louisa Gay Get Eight Months for Destroying
 Mail in Letter Boxes.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-May Billing, hurst and Louisa Gay, militant suffra. gettes who in recent months have en- gagged in a campaign of destroying mails, were tried in the Old Bailey today and condemned to eight months imprisonment each.
 May Billinghurst, who is cripple and is unable to get about except on tricycle., already has been sent to prison several times for her suffrage activities.
 The evidence given today showed that letter boxes throughout the cen, ter and West End of London were damaged, together with their contents, by means of acids, sticky fluids, var, nish and ink. In some cases inflam, mable materials, such as rags soaked in lamp oil, had been inserted through the slits. Many valuable documents were destroyed-money orders, con, tracts checks and bank notes.
 It was difficult to catch the perpe. trators of the outrages in the act, as in most cases the fluids were passed into the boxes in uncorked bottles contained in ordinary envelopes.

CABINET POSITIONS DO
 NOT PAY DEBTS

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 23. - w. J. Bryan declares editorially in the Com moner that he does not conceive that Mir. Wilson owes him any debt su- perior to that which Mir. Wilson owes the cause he represents, and that the test of fitness that should be applied is not what a man has done in the past but what services can he render in the future. The editorial reads:
 Cabinet positions ought not to be regarded as currency with which to pay debts. They are responsible po- sitions and in filling them the Presi- dent.elect should look to the future and not to the past. A public official has no right to discharge political ob- ligations at the expense of the pub lie. The men selected by Mir. Wilson for the Cabinet should be selected not because of personal services rendered him, nor even because of past ser vice rendered to the party, The indi- yidual counts for little; the cause counts for much" The Comoner de- clines to discuss Cabinet possibili- ties. Gov Wilson need not-he should not-consider any service that Mir. Bryan has rendered to him or to the public.
 "Mr Bryan has been abundantly rewarded for all he has done and does not feel that the party or any indi- vidual in the party owes him any thing. If he ever holds any office it ought to be given, whether by ap- pointment or by election, with the view to the service that can be rem dered in connection with the work yet to be done, not with the idea of re- warding him for anything that he has done; and the rule which is here laid down is for all. In other words, the welfare of the party and the welfare of the country-not the ambitions of men or the interests of individuals should be considered"
