CRITICISM OF SCHOOLS
UNJUST, SAY EXPERTS
System inmeasurabIy Ahead of That
In Vogue In Former Times.

Current criticisms Of the public
school are discussed In report just
issued by the United States bureau of
education. Among other things, the
contention that the 'three RS are neg
lected In the modern school Is an
swered with the emphatic statement
that ''the three RS are better taught
today than they were 6fty or sixty
years ago"
"We frequently hear that there are
too many Subjects too many fads
and frills,' and hence neglect OF the
Rs" says the report The critics
who utter this sort Of criticism seldom
agree on exactly what the fads and
frills are, but they invariably look
back to a golden past when the so
called Observation-Disclosures writ
ing and arithmetic-were taught In
such q way as never to be forgotten.
AS a matter of fact. the system OF to-
day Is immeasurably ahead of the
school system Of the past. The growth

said against the enrichment of the
course OF study, its 'fads and frills,
the contention that the essentials, so
called, have suffered In comparison
with the past falls fat"
In discussing current criticism gen
orally, the report finds that much of
the criticism Of the public schools of
today is due to marked change In
the purpose Of public education. 'sThe
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 should do.
Those who criticise the bookish cur
riculum OF the public school. whether
elementary or high school. are really
striving for what they conceive to be
the changed purpose Of education-to
reach all the children Of all the people
with the kind Of training that will
make them not merely intelligent in re-
spect to things that are in books, but
will equip them directly for the kind Of
life, economic and social, which they
will lead when they leave school--while
those who oppose the innovations do so
because they do not concede this
broader though apparently more spe-
cialized purpose"

by the physicians statement that he is

Ray Mells. a farmer OF Dorset, a
small town near Andover, O., simply
can't keep help this summer, yet he
offers inducements that really ought to

Here are a few of the inducements

Each man may have horse and

The quitting time every evening Is

but rig up in Sunday best and go to
meeting, after which a good dinner
will be waiting.
Wages that win compare with the
best paid anywhere In the locality,
with the most considerate treatment
during working hours.
"In addition to all this" says Mells.
II have two good looking eligible sis
ters and have offered to let the boys
get busy and win them II they can.
There's the horse and buggy for their

new EXPLOSIVE
SAFE, BUT DEADLY
Stronger Than Dynamite, Yet
Less Dangerous.
Only One Way to Explode II, as Shown
BY Remarkable Tests Made by Gov
srnnsnt and Du Ponts-lnvented by
New York National Guardsnan In
the Postal Service.

What has been pronounced by some
military men the safest high power
explosive the world has yet SEEN an
explosive equal to so per cent dyna-
mite, the strongest dynamite made,
has been produced by lieutenant OF
the New York national guard after
three years work. He will give it to
the United States government, al
though It is said that half dozen ma
lions would pay from 100000 up for
the formula.
Lieutenant Harold Chase Woodward
Of the Twenty second engineers, ma
uonai guard, New York, Is the in
ventor OF trotol. the new explosive.
He Is employed in the New York post
office at branch station. Three years
ago brother came across an old vol
ume that had been presented to Ger
man officials at the time of the Franco
Prussian war. In the book were 1000
formulas for high explosives, mainly
anonymous. The Germans had sim
ply shelved the book. perhaps dlscour-
aged by the number of recipes and
the impossibility of testing them all.
Hit Upon II by Chance.
Woodward tried five formulas at
random and found them all either
worthless or inferior to explosives now
In use. He tried a sixth at random
and found 1t extraordinarily safe and
good. but rather weak as compared
with the best dynamite. But from it
he developed trotol.
Trotol can be exploded only by full
inmate of mercury, the substance
used to explode dynamite. 1t cannot
be set of by any shock, however
great In a test at Fort Wadsworth
trotol was packed into a twelve inch
shell. and the shell was fired at armor'
plate 1000 yards away. The shell
struck the armor plate while going at
a rate of 2,T5O feet second, but the
trotol inside remained unexploded in
spite of the terrific concussion.
Six ounces Of trotol, 1t is said, will
do the explosive work Of twelve
ounces Of dynamite Dynamite de-

Trotol can be carried wet or dry, and
the illuminate Of mercury, which must
be kept yards away from dynamite
lest premature explosion result, may
come as close as six inches to trotol
without danger. Like dynamite, trotol
cannot be exploded by ignition.
The Governments Experiments.
Trotol has a longer name. 1t is de-
rived from a coal tar byproduct which
has been subjected to step up nitra-
tion-that is, reduced to dregs. After
Mr.. Woodward had worked over it for
q year the United States government
began experiments which lasted for
two years and which concluded at
Peekskill. N. Y, a short time ago. No

Washington.-Plans for the exten-
sion, improvement and reduction In
rates of the parcel post were announc-
ed by Postmaster General Burleson.
The changes, which are to become ef-
fective on Aug. IS, include an increase
from eleven pounds to twenty pounds
In the maximum weight of parcels; a
material reduction in the postage rates
in the first and second zones, the aban-
donment of the parcel post map as
means of computing rates and the sub
stitution for it of rate chart individ-
ualized to every postoffice in the Unit
ed States.
The plans contemplate the purchase
of large number of automobiles to be
used exclusively for the delivery of
parcel post matter.
While for the present the maximum
weight limit Of twenty pounds and the
reduction In rates will apply only to
