Satisfied.

He never grumbled when he ate:
He took things as they came;
When hash was piled upon his plate
He gave nobody blame.
He did not kic when things were high,
Nor fret when they declined:
When others rose h edid not sigh
Al being left behind.
He thought the world was simply grand;
He loafed from day to day;
His wife sang In opera. and
She let him draw her pay.

You feed your passions with selfshness.
You coddle envy and hunt for sights:
When you hear hat your ~neighbor has
won success,
You imagine that he has infringed your
rights;
But the sun is managing still to shine.
So come out Of the dark and cease to
whine.

Even the militants themselves. how
ever, must realize by this time that
they are accomplishing nothing by
their defiance OF law and order. Their
acts are so scnselcss, so absurd. SO
FREQ from evidence of reasoning
power that the British people have
passed gradually through the stages
Of amusement. !mpnticncc. Irritation.
and finally downright anger.
The argument In the United States
has been that women Will bring into
politics higher sense of duty and re-
sponsiblity. The argument In Eng
land seems to be that women are so
lawlcss and violent, so emotional and
hysterical, that they should be given
the vote TO keep them quiet The
miltants cannot he regarded rs truly
representative OF anything except
hysteria. Every violent act committed
by them is simply another valid rea-
son FOR denying them the vote in Eng

Il better asset than the politician, Il

The report OF the Commission on
National Aid TO Vocational Training
constitutes an epoch in the educa-
tionai history Of the country. AS
already published. the commission
has outlined Il plan whereby the Fed
eral government will aid vocational
training in the States on Il gradually
ascending scale, reaching a final
maximum Of appropriations totaling
S7.000.000. For each dollar the
central government expends, the in
dividual State Is expected TO spend
another dollar.
The one difficulty to n plan of this
nature is in securing the co-opera-
ton of the various States to what
ever educational program the cen
trail government may outline. If suf-
ficient elasticity is observed and
allowance made for sectional differ
ences and the principle of local self
government, there is no reason why
the system should not ultimately
work out TO a nicely.

Heretofore. our educational methods
have been one-sided leaning too

These weaknesses, it Is logical to
expect, vocational training will cor

training there is danger that the
tendency toward practicability may

unless we are careful. build up a
/ system somewhat troubled by caste,
on the erroneous premise that some
children arc destined to semimanunl
labor. and others to the professions.
With due safeguards against these
dangers, Federal aid 10 education IN
the direction OF vocational training
should work wonders. Essentially,
education Is n function OF the central
