mistake, ms there should always be n
certain amount of vital energy in hand
in case Of emergencies.
No lesson should last longer than
half an hour with young children, and,
il possible, a short interval between
each lesson should be spent in tho open
air.
II the young scholar Is by way Of
being very forward with his studies,
further work should BIO discouraged
rather than encouraged. The point to
consider hero is whether or not his
health will allow the continuance OF
such active development. On the othor
hand, If the child seems lazy and
backward, the cause Of this should be
found out
Children under fifteen years Of age
should not be allowed to do any homo
work, as young eyes arc very easily
strained, and young bodies tire very
studios to do at night when he feels
very tired; he will get his body in the
most comfortable position possible,
and will take no notice of the direction
from which the light falls on his page,
nor has he the energy left to hold his
book so that tho plano Of the lines is
always parallel to TINT Of his eyes.
The child's mind may accumulate q
little extra book-knowledge by such
work, but only ut the risk Of strained
eyes and possible spinal defects. In a
great majority Of cases, lateral curva-
ture OF the spine may be traced back to
habltual faulty postures used by chill
drcn when at school work. A child
should oply bo allowed to study at
home as long as he can comfortably sit
upright and hold his book in a correct
position.
In children, the physical state is q
very good guide to the mental condi-
tion. 1t is only natural that If the
body is tired, the mind is in no ft state
to imbibe knowledge. The thin, mar
w-chested, delicate youth, perhaps
with strained eyes, and nearly always
with a good school record, is, nine
times out of ten, preventable mis-

PRESIDENTS DILEMMA.

Sponsored by the Administration, A,
Mitchell Palmer has decided to make
the race for senator in Pennsylvania.
He says that the president considers
him the proper man for the place and
win support him in his efforts to get IT.
The chief executive Of the nation IS
not setting a precedent when he takes
this action, and perhaps it is too late
now to condemn a practice that has
become common among our presidents
But il it is right and just that the
president should pick out good men
and true to back for the senatorship,
it is equally right and just TO oppose
candidates who arc notoriously unfit
for the high office.
A. Mitchell Palmer, from the Demo
cratic standpoint, may be the one man
most needed as a Pennsylvania sena-
tor, but is Roger Sullivan, from the
same standpoint, proper man for
remember that Mr.. Bryan designated
Roger Sullivan as the "train robber'
Of politics, or something of that sort
Is that the kind Of man the president
wants in the senate9 If not, then we
may expect him to place the ban Of
disapproval on Sullivan s candidacy.
IF the president believes that he is
responsible for the selection Of a good
man in Pennsylvania, he cannot deny
equal responsibility for the action of
his party in Illinois. Tho great gas
boss is even more notorious than Boss
Murphy for those undesirable qualities
which met with condemnation by the
Wilson faction at the Baltimore con-
vention, Tt will be recalled, however,
that Roger Sullivan cast the vote Of
the Illinois delegation for Mr.. Wilson
in the convention, and is now using
that fact as an argument in favor of
his candidacy.
Perhaps the claims Of friendship
arc keeping President Wilson silent
with reference to Roger Sullivan, while
they impel him to speak out in favor
Of A. Mitchell Palmer. But we pre-
fer to believe that it is not merely
a question of friendship with the presi-
dent, and that he is supporting Mr.,
Palmer because he believes him to be
the best man, On tho same ground,
therefore, he should oppose Roger Sui
livan as one OF the least qualified men
that could enter the senatorial race in

balanced navy should, of course, be pro-
vlded with each increase in capital
ships,
This would not appear to be an over
ambitious building programme, The gem
eral board later came to recommend as
many as four battleships year. The
impression went abroad that the gen.
eral board stood far g. continuous pro-
grRmme Of four ships year. This was
wrong. The board recommended this
number Of ships for one year because
the ships provided in previous years had
been too few and the possibility OF
reaching the goal Of forty eight ships
in 1920 depended on providing the
, greater number at the time asked.
1t is not generally realized that the
United States is lamentably behind in
ITS construction, Of battleshipss and that
the navy has already been placed In a
position of inferiority during the past
two years.
The general board now realizes that
its policy of forty~eight battleships in
| 1920 will not be realized. 1T believes
! that building programme that Will Sc
cure that result at the earliest possible
date should, however, be definitely
adopted.
And when the creation Of this logi,
cal well-balanced navy is brought about
TINS government Will nave oy no means
the best fleet among the nations, but
il will then have, and only then, an
"adequate navy
That fleet will consist Of a capital
ship for each state in the union. For
each battleship there should be fonr
destroyers, and two submarines those
invisible protectors Of home ports.
This comprehensive programme would
be In harmony with the requirements Of
the constitution and would "providc

preparedness, gained the facts of their
probable strength ut date twenty
years ahead 1t found that some or
these nations had outlined for them
selves definite programmes that were
TO lead to q given strength at gwen
time, If the United States expects TO
be able to occupy position of influ-
ence beside those nations at that time,
it must adopt programme that Will
give 1t a comparable fleet at the future
date.
So, three years after its organization,
the general board, in 1908, was ready
with its recommendations of build
ing programme to last through The
years and to result in a well balanced
and effective fleet IN the year 1920.
1t was convinced of the ACCESSIBILITY Of
substituting this continuing, consistent
building programme for the haphazard
methods of annual appropriations.
Since 1908 the general board has each
tion to building policy. It's recon-
mendations have each year been unani-
mously concurred IN by the experts who
have made no the board. The public
has usually been acquainted with the
number of ships that the general board
has asked for, but the reasons for those
requests have accumulated dust IN the
archives of the navy department, and
the public has not understood the patri"
otic reasons that lie back Of the recon-
mendations. This year the secretary
of the navy has transmitted the adj
vice of the general board to congress
for the first time, and 1t has been
made public.
The general board is most anxious
that the public should become familiar
with the building policy that it pro"
poses. If believes that the public, un'
derstanding, will Instruct its represen-
tativcs TO provide an adequate fleet,
If it does not, the responsibility will
then rest with the people and not the
naval experts.
And what does this building pro.
gramme provide'
In the first place it was suggested
that the nation adopt q definite, GU
nulative, building programme. 1t was
shown that if provision were made for
two battleships year with third ship
the third year, the result, in 1920, would
be fleet of forty-eight capital ships,

HEALTH AND SCHOLARSHIP

A most important factor in the physi-
cal development Of children is the age
at which they begin their school life.
The average child goes to school at
the age Of six, when practically every
thing he sees is new and very interest.
ing to him, and worthy of deep con.
sideraticn. From tho time be wakes in
the morning till he gets to sleep at
night, his brain is working.
The brain, to do it's work properly,
needs full. active blood supply, and
1t will take this often at the expense
of leaving an inadequate amount for
the demands of the rest Of the body.
A fact that seems to be forgotten by
teachers who arc anxious for the child
to learn, and by ambitious parents as
| well, is that any vital energy used in
developing young child g brain must
| be taken away from the amount that
had hitherto been devoted entirely TO
physical growth.
Instead Of being delighted with the
rapid development Of their young
child s mind, parents, therefore, should
look on any evidences of abnormal
brain activity with some suspicion.
When child starts his school life,
an effort should be mado to find out
just how much work he can do COM
fortably and happily, If the child is
forced to do more than this, he will
become depressed and worried. Any
mental worry with children will shortly
produce unmistakable signs on the
physique. A plan which some parents
and teachers adopt is 10 get as much

are no doubt millions Of natives who
would Like to throw off tho foreign
yoke, but it would be impossible to put
guns into thoir hande and organize
them into an army, 1t is moro than
regiments would revolt under any cir

poys were blown from the mouths Of the
cannon In 1857 there have been no out

Such uprisings as have occurred have
been easily put down.

Tho Hindus viii be excluded from the
British colonies and the home govern
ment will not interfere except in the
way Of giving advice.
The passage of the allen land law
by the California legislature placed the
United States In an embarrassing po-
sitlon and a strenuous attempt was
made to induce the legislators to stay
their hand. Secretary Bryan was Civ

his celebrated trip to the Pacific coast

nips. Tho Nebraskan returned to Wash

the Japanese to acquire real estate in

Similar rcbuffs will follow any at

gain an entrance into the English
speaking colonies for the Hindus. The
people of these colonies are intensely
loyal and patriotic and will rush to
the defense OF the mother country at a

swarms Of Hindus to ovcrrun their ter
ritory even at the behest of the home
government.
All civilized countries subscribe to
the brotherhood of man idea in the
abstract, but self-preseryatio being

REVOLT THREATENED.

A Hindu professor, DR.. Sidhundra
Boso, at present a member Of tho fac
ulty Of the Iowa State university, pre-
diets the fercest revolution the world
has ever known unless the British gov
eminent is able TO prevent the colonies
from excluding the Hindus. DR.. Bose
appeared before the senate committee
having the immigration bill in charge
to plead for the admission Of bis coun-
trymen into the United States. His
plea fell upon deaf ears.
The central government Of Great
Britain is in a decidedly delicate posi-
ton In the matter Of the rights Of the
Hindus to migrate from one portion Of
the empire to another without let or
hindrance. They are subjects Of Great
Britain, and as such would naturally
seem to DO entitled to all the rights
and privileges accorded the Canadians,
Austrians, New Zealanders and other
Colonials. Tho people Of the colonies,
however, do not subscribe TO this view
and propose to exclude tho Hindus
Great Britain would not daro attempt
the coercion of the colonies even were
she SO inclined, so it is difficult TO Gg-
ure out how the Hindus are going to
force themselves into portions of the
british empire where they are not

those noblemen who still retain lin
