EDUCATIONAL iDIUrN.

qucruue last year as one ot the prin-
,ipal speakers at the state teachers
convention, his addresses left an inn
preston OF sanity. judgment, strength
and balance seldom II ever %equullcd
by a public speaker here. II is all
tie moro surprising, in memory Of
that impression. to hnd hirn the sub
ioct Of singing criticism from high
ana low all over this country for the
advancement OF q now scheme Of
education which seems To merit
about all the criticism II ~ rccciying.
Dr. Claxton would retire the woin-
an school teacher. lie would not
only retire her; ne would exclude her
aud give her work over into the
hands Of men. He would introduce
"a aix-ycar term In the public schools.
with n term Of equal length In the
high schools, men teachers to follow
their pupils through The various
grades until the departmental work
Is reached, where specialists are re-
quired.
As regards the plan q have the
teacher follow the student instead ot
having the student pass from teach
or 20 teacher through the grades, as
Is now the case. there is nothing
more than a difference Of opinion.
Educators argue f~iercelv for and
against the proposed plan; and there
IL good sense on both sides of the
argument, But as to his proposal TO
retire all from the school
room and turn the Job over 10 men
there Is criticism which ranges all
the way from ridiculo Go vicious at
tack.
II Is very difficult To get at the
angle from which Dr. Claxton views
the oma school teacher. He can
not assert safely that she is not faith
ful that she Is not competent. that
her influence Is not good as good as
the influence of a man. lie will find
II difncult to convince most people
that the woman IN the school room
Is not a better Influence than the
average man teacher.
The average man teacher In the
grade schools of our public school
system. almost without exception
has his mind set upon getting out OF

LONDON, Sept. 20.-(Special Cablegram
to New \ ork World and Omaha Bee.)-
The situation, so far as can be gathered
from official dispatches remains the same
as it was yesterday. Paris admits that
it has been impossible to drive the Ger
mans out of their entrenchsK positions
but at the same time it is asserted that
every German attempt to break through
the French lines by counter attacks has
been defeated.
weather and Time Aid.
Two things are operating in favor of the
allies-the weather and time. Every day
aids the French and British reinforc.
ing operations and the weather must
necessarily have a far more discouragins
effect upon the Germans than upon the
French and British, who are operating
successfully in their own territory.
India: Troops Near.S
The reinforcements OF the allies are
now becoming nearer and more numerous
Indian troops are already reported ir
France and the transports carrying many
more up TO a total, it is believed, OF
almost 2OO0OO men, are approaching by
way of Canada and the Atlantic as well
as by Suez and the Mediterranean.
Believe Russians AID.
The importation of Russian troops "a
still denied officially. but the cumulative
effect Of the reports of observant Ameri-
cans all tends toward the belief that Rus
sian troops did land in England and are
being shipped to France.
In any event. the tide of numerical
superiority is now setting strongly against
the kaiser. Today his armies are dis
tinctly in the minority.
Cars Millions Move.
Russia is still progressing, slowly, but
surely and the announcement comes from
Petrograd ot the mobilization of "severa
more millions OF men,"
Germany itself depended for its frs
great stroke upon the invncibnity OF
numbers. Russia has enough men. anC
to spare. 10 prove that the same strok,
can be worked against Germany.
