It is one of the ironies Of history that the
people who played 50 great u part in saving
the Austrian capital are now being threatened
by armies of that capital. For several CEN
turtles, during the occupation of the Balkan
Peninsula by Turkey. Seryia was q Turkish
province, hut she never lost her racial con-
acionsness and her national aspirations. In
1878 Servia WAS declared independent OF
Turkey bv the Treaty of Berlin Since that
time Turkeys power In the Balkan Peninsula
has grown steadily less. A year ago Greece,
Servia, and Bulgaria united IN driving Turkey
still farther out Of the Balkan territory and
into Constantinople. Unfortunately for the
Balkan people, political ambition and national
leaiOusits brought the Greeks, the SerVians,
ana the %BUlgarlans into conflict. Their sue
cessful partnership against the Turks w
destroyed by quarrels and pickering. L.
stead Of working together for a federation of
the Balkan people, each nation strove for
supremacy. The Greek, the Bulgarian, and
the Seryian each thought that he should lie
the head of a great B ,Ikan empire, and they
thus threw away the prize that was almost
within their grasp.
Servia, whose northern boundary touches
the southern boundary of the Auotro- Hunga-
rian Empire on the Danube, has long felt the
eucroaching pressure of Austria. In 1908
the Austrian Imperial Government annexed
the provinces of Bosnia aud Herzegovina,
which provinces are largely Servian in popu.
lation nud sympathy. The Servians have long
suspected, aud events have justified that
suspicion, that Austria desires to annex
ServIa itself.
On June Is last The Austrian Crown Prince
was assussinated in the capital Of Bosnia.
The assassin was a Seivian. Austria asserts
that the assassination was the result of an
active conspiracy of Servians. She made
demands upon the Seryian Government, all
of which were assented to by Servin with one
exception. That exception was the refusal
of Servia to permit Austro, Hungarian Off
cials to sit upon boards of inquiry regarding
acts of conspiracy by Seryians against Aus
tria. 1t seems to us clear that no govern
meut can preserve its self respect or auto
uomy if it permits officers of n foreign gov
eminent to sit in its own courts. Never
less, on receipt Of Seryia's note yielding to
Austria on every point save this one,
Austria promptly declared war.
The assassination of the Grown Prince is
the occasion, but not the cause, of the war.
The folly and Wickedness OF assassination as
a method Of establishing national liberty were
never more wildly illustrated than in this
case. However much Austria may have de-
sired to invade Sorvia aud thus to control the
Balkan Peninsula, she never wouId have
dared to do so in the face of Europe if is
had not been for the very plausible oppor-
tunity given to her by the criminal murder
Of her Grown Prince.

PHYSICAL TRAINING
State Superintendent Has Pub
lished Course To Be Followed
In City Schools.

A course in physical training for city
schools, prepared by the executive
committee of the physical training Sec
ton of the State Teachers Association,
has been published by the State Super
intendent Fred L. Keeler and distribut-
ed to the city schools of the state. 1t
will be valuable to cities where no SUI
pervisor of physical training is employ
ed. 1t will also enable cities required
by law to include this subject in their
curriculums to have practically uniform
courses. The law is very explicit con-
corning cites having population of
over ten thousand. Act 40 of the Pub
lie Acts of 1911 states.
Physical training shall be included in
the branches to be regularly taught in
public schools in city school districts
having population of more than ten
thousand and in the state normal
schools, subject to such rules and re-
gulations as the superintendent of pub
lie instruction may prescribe, and lit
shall be the duty of the boards of edu-
cation in such city school districts and
of the state board of education to make
provisions in the schools and institution
under their jurisdiction for the intro
duction OF a systematic and educational
course of physical training; to engage
competent instructors; to provide the
necessary equipments; to establish and
conduct same: and to adopt such
methods as shall adapt the same to the
capacity of the pupils in the various
grades therein; and other boards NAV
make such provisions. The curriculum
in all normal schools of this state shall
contain a regular teachers course on
physical education under competent
jurisdiction.
The bulletin includes work for grades
and high school, work which materials
and without work to be carried on both
in the building and out-of- doors. This
phase of school work should be of
special interest to parents The educa-
tional value is evident. The need for
training in habits of good positions of
sitting and standing, and the hygienic
value of correct breathing and other
drills given in the course, cannot be
questioned A glimpse into almost any
schoolroom in the state is proof of this.

SAFETY FIRST
Schools Are Urged By The State
Superintendent To Participate
In Safety First Movement

State Superintendent Fred L. Keeer
is urging the schools of thestate to carry
on the work along Safety First lines
with renewed vigor this fall. The school
were the means of accomplishing much
good through their efforts last year,
but the number of accidents due to
carelessneSs is still more than it should
be. The greater multiplicity of street
cars and automobiles and increasing
traffic make the danger greater. The
number of children that have been run
over by street cars and automobiles is
appalling. In some cases the child did
not stop to look before crossing the
street; in many cases he wanted to show
other children how skillful he was in
lodging. Officers and ordinances can
not prevent all accidents. Teaching the
child the folly of lodging in front of
moving vehicles will be far more ef-
fective and a campaign of education
against careless practices should be
carried on. In this day of electric lines
and interurbans, children, their parents
also should be made to understand the
danger of touching broken and fallen
wires. The bonfire is feature of the
fall season. Children should be warned
against building fires too close to build
ings, being careless with matches, play
ing too near fire. Boys, more than girls,
like to'take chance" To some it
seems cowardly to be careful. The
home and the school should cooperate
in eradicating this idea. CarefulIness
and watchfulness should be instilled in
the minds of children.
