HANfNfERING 'BIG BUSINESS >

HANfdERING "RIG BUSINESS"
One of the most serious features of
American industrial life is concerned
with the persistent hammering by the
government, through the courts, of
the great manufacturing and export
ing combinations of capital, writes
James Davenport Whelpley, In the
Fortnightly Review. and he contin-
ues: Through lack of control these
Industrial combinations, or trusts, -
as they were called, grew with tre-
mendous rapidity and acquired a
power which they ofttimes abused.
BY the time public attention was
called to these abuses in an effective
manner they had spread far and wide,
and business methods obviously lille
gal and against public policy had be-
come part Of the system Of doing busi-
ness in a big way. 1t was also true
that these abuses had been tolerated
for SO long that interference was re-
sented: in fact. from the point OF
view Of men conducting these enter
prises. they had become right and
necessary to successful merchandising
on a large scale. The people, how
ever, driven to desperation by the in
creasing cost of living, the driving out
of the smaller firms, and the obvious
control Of prices exercised through
monopoly, high tariffs, agreements,
and other familiar methods, and the
notorious corruption Of legislatures
and courts by those with power to
buy or influence, demanded their
curtailment. Politicians then found
it more expedient to attack, rather
than to serve, the purposes OF these
business interests, and members of
congress and would-be officeholders

CrTIzENsHIP TRAINING.

With the cooperation of the Ma
tional Municipal League and other
organizations long interested in the
problem Of education for citizenship.
the United States bureau Of education
is undertaking a comprehensive study
of the whole problem OF civic educa-
ton. The work will be under tho i'm
mediate direction OF Mr.. Arthur w.
Dunn. now of New York. who made
for himself a national reputation some
years ago by his work in this subject
In the public schools Of Indianapolis.
In this field of activity the govern
ment bureau Of education hopes to
do officially and systematically what
has heretofore been attempted by a
number of organizations working in
dependently. Many civic associations
throughout the United States have
been agitating in behalf of education
for citizenship: valuable results have
been obtained; and many communi-
ties have made important experiments
in improving citizenship through the
schools and through other agencies
The bureau will seek to coordinate
these hitherto separate efforts: to
bring corporations where independ-
ent action has prevailed; to make
known everywhere the results Of civic
education SO far accomplished; and to
formulate a constructive plan for def
mite responsibilities and possibilities of
direct instruction In citizenship.
Present methods Of teaching civics
will be carefully Investigated. Wheth-
er 1t is sufficient that children should
know how the president is elected, or
that they should be able to recite the
constitution; to what extent modern
social and civic questions-clean
streets, pure water, milk supply. FIRE
protection. means of transportation.
cooperation. suffrage. divorce. ETC.
are to be considered. These are the
sort of questions to which the new
corps Of investigators will have to give
some attention.
Special effort will be made to re-
port the many attempts on the part
of progressive communities to give all
school subjects q more definite civic
value. In Kansas City, Kan. for ex-
ample. the chemistry course in the
high school is in effect a course in
and milk analysis. with their signifi-
canoe in community life, are empha-
sized. and high school students serve
in the municipal laboratories. Cleve-
land teaches municipal problems in
the biology course. Indianapolis has
course In community arithmetic"
in the elementary schools. Vocational
education and school hygiene both
have civic phases of immense i'm
portance. These and other practical
matters in citizenship training will be
carefully examined.
In announcing the bureaus new
work, Commissioner Claxton points
out that in the larger sense all educa-
ton is really education for citizenship;
that not only is citizenship training
co-extensive with effective education
in general, but that The final justif1-
cation of public taxation for public
education lies in the training Of young
people for citizenship" -,.
