recent activity OF the New York State
Reservation Commission in conserving
the natural mineral waters at Sarato-
ga Springs, as well as in improved
local conditions, is of interest in CALI
ing attention to the many opportuni-
ties in this country for utilizing such
waters and adopting modes Of treat
ment similar 70 those which have made
the bath resorts of Germany and Aus
tria famous. There is somewhat
popular but fallacious impression
that certain European waters have
medicinal properties not possessed by
any American waters, and many per-

THRIFT TEACHING IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The American Society for Thrift or
ganized in October. 1913, has for its
purpose the promotion OF thrift by in
quiry, education and discussion. The
advisory council is made up of some
of the executives and many leading
educators Of the various states. and
one phase Of the work is its intro
duction into public schools.
The time is auspicious for such
teaching.
State Superintendent Fred L. Keeler
considers il most important and is
urging that it be made general
throughout the schools.
Individual thrift is the basis of good
citizenship and community prosperity.
This work co-ordinates with such
problems as the high cost of living.
The training is not given by talks
alone, but by interesting pupils i'm
school and home gardens, school saw
ings accounts, and any local industry
or interest of the home that may be
used to advantage. Vocational training
and domestic science are aids. The
idea includes more than the earning
of money-the saving of money, of
material and of time.
Many Michigan high schools have
already done much along the line Of
simplicity OF school commencements.
The thrift movement is general and
schools must fall in line in teaching
the practice Of thrift.

A NOTABLE ADDITION TO THE
M. C M. COURSES.

The expansion of the Michigan Col
lege of Mines scope of operations to
provide short practical courses for
practical men, announcement of which
has just been made, will increase the
influence and usefulness Of that insti-
tuition, which for many years has en-
joyed an enviable reputation through
out the mining world.
The decision to enlarge its field
shows the college is thoroughly pro-
gressive and alert TO its possibilities
as an educational factor. In opening
its doors to shop, mill, smelter, tim
bermen and miners, the college really
takes step in advance of the present
day idea of educational instruction.
The people of today are strong for
practical work in the public schools,
but the college of mines goes farther
and applies the same principle to
higher institutions. offering a broader
conception TO their duty TO the public.
II is a departure which no doubt will
arouse keen interest in educational
circles generally, and there is no ques-
tion it will appeal strongly 10 those
the college has especially in mind
practical men who may feel the need
Of special instruction.
The purpose and general scope of the
new work is outlined by President
McNair in the following statement:
1T is this man who is inclined TO
think about his work and use his
brains as well as his muscles on his
job 20 whom we expect our new
courses to appeal
Il imagine almost every man has
wished that he were able 10 take
UP the study of some particular line of
work either the line directly related
20 his job or a different lire in which
he has become interested by seeing
somebody work or hearing what some
body has done. The college is going
10 attempt 10 give him as far as IL may
the opportunity 10 take up that study.
II is not going 20 offer him a curricu-
lum with the expectation that he will
take the various courses which COM
prise IL and thereupon become a train
ed man. Rather it will offer training
I'm only the particular subject or line
which he thinks he would like 10 study.
The foundation on which we pro-
pose 10 build is the foundation Of ex-
perience and mental ,raiuiu. that these
men have gained i'm working with the
materials and conditions of their jobs
and in every course the instruction
win start from those things which are
already familiar 10 the men.
The instruction is not To- be- merely
mechanical to teach man only the
processes, but as far as circumstances
permit will be Of underlying princi-
piles and will show their relations to
the whole Of the plant and industry
in which they are employed Insofar
the work viii be truly educational and
will tend toward fitting the man TAX
ing il for advancement in his line"

JUNGLE JOE" CANNON.

The victory in the Illinois primaries
Of Uncle Joe" Cannon over his for
midable opponent, DR.. Cooley. foresha-
dows sweeping Republican victories in
the congressional elections.
Uncle Joe" whatever his faults,
has been the most unjustly abused
public man in the country, remarks
the Milwaukee Sentinel Roared at
as an inveterate reactionary and OBJ
structor OF every progressive measure,
Mr.. Cannon was nevertheless the all
powerful speaker OF the house of that
memorable fifty-ninth congress of
whose first session President Roosevelt
said:
In the session that has just closed
the congress has done more substan-
tial work for good than any congress
has done at any session since l be-
came familiar with public affairs"
And in approving the great reform
measures Of that session, Mr.. Cannon
himself said:
In my judgment the work done and
the legislation enacted in the session
just Albsth tANttA4S III lillllOi ldItts lbI
the best interests Of all the people OF
the republic, the work Of any session
during my thirty years Of public life.
The legislation commonly referred to
as the rate legislation, the pure food
BILL the inspection feature of the agri-
cultural bill, are measures that affect
the interests of all the people, and
while nothing perfect can be enacted,
am satisfied that the operation of
these laws will demonstrate their wis
dom. And l believe if nothing else had
been accomplished than the enactment
of these three measures, they alone
would be sufficient to make the first
session OF the fifty-ninth congress a
memorable one in the history OF the
republic"
Uncle Joe" has been grievously
misrepresented and lied about.
His name had unfortunately become
synonymous with a system OF house
procedure for which he certainly was
not responsible. II far antedated his
succession TO the gavel; yet they called
il "Cannonism." The revolt against
il came during his incumbency, and he
was made the scapegoat. And the re-
action against his great and long pop
ularity was bound TO come and as
usual went too far.
Outwardly. a rough diamond, a man
Of intense party convictions and with
too much OF the dislike and mistrust
OF all change that naturally goes with
such convictions, Mr.. Cannon is with
out doubt a patriot TO the core, and a
man Of high personal honesty, who.
according to his best lights and con-
science, has done the country much
service.
His constituency has evidently re-
solved to give him one day more in
his old arena, and no right feeling man
should grudgc the stout old warrior his
eventide triumph Of remarkable pub
lie career.
