Cause of Later Order.

The later order of 1920 was prompted
by more troublouS times when the Soyer

uprisings and revolutions. 1t authorized
the senior officer III a garrison to inter

to restore order not only when requested
by the civil authorities, but also without
such reGuisition If the authorities We're

lice force inadequate to restore order un-

Various laws governing the rights and
restrictions of the military under such
conditions have been enacted since the
establishment Of the German empire and
few persons except those called upon to
peruse the confidential instructions We're
aware before the Zaborn incident, that
the order Of ISL was still in existence
and contained in the latest Prussian serv-

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

This month has seen the opening Of
school not only in this city, but ir
thousands Of other places. An army
of youngsters throughout the country
are trooping to the colors--that is
to the schoolhouses. Just how big
the army is few persons have any no
ton, just as few have any idea Of the
commercial magnitude of the educa-
tional operations of the United States.
According to the bureau Of educa-
ton, Is million pupils are enrolled in
the schools, public and private Of
these, 10 millions are in daily attend
ance. A force of more than half a
million teachers looks after their
learning. The value of school prop
erty is considerably more than a bill
ion dollars, and the amount expended
for schools is nearly half billion dol
lars every year.
In contrast to the millions Of men
who are killing each other in Europe
at heavy expense, consider these hope
full figures Of the armies of peace in
this fortunate republic.

The old-time idea that school
house was useful only as a place il
which to teach the children of the
school district for a few months OF
every year has robbed the rural com
munities of valuable asset in COM
munity development. The country
schoolhouse is the one common prop
erty of the community. 1t should re-
fleet the community pride and enter
prise of the people who own it. As a
rule, however, the country sehoolhouse
is the most uninviting place in the dis
trict, and particularly in summer
time 1t is left to "shift for itself"
The weeds are permitted to take the
grounds, the fences are neglected and
il has the general appearance of be-
ing the one place in the district in
which the people have neither pride
nor interest.
Imagine what an attractive, we'll
kept schoolhouse, with inviting|
grounds, would mean as an asset to al
community. A public park, roomy,
shaded with trees and decorated with
shrubs and flowers, would be utilized
as a meeting place for all the people
of the district for every purpose, and
afford a pleasant resting place and
visiting place for the women of the
community on summer afternoons.
There is plenty of room in the eoun-
try places for everything except the
schoolhouses. Generally speaking,
they are crowded into small plots of
ground that offer no opportunity for
identifying and lack even sufficient
room 10 afford the children a convent
ent playground Every schoolhouse
could be made the community centerI
for the school district and efficiently
utilized almost every week in the year
for the people, and at nominal ex-
pense. And the country people need
such a place to afford them better OPP
portunities for more frequent ex-
change Of opinions and for the discus
sion Of affairs that vitality concern
their interests, Why not turn atten-
ton to the long-negleeted country
sehoolhouse and make it live factor
in the solution Of country problems?

There Is much foolishness under the
guise of public school education. We
believe the mental, physical and moral
child should be tremendously devel-
oped. 1t is not essential that all
learned in school should be of the
sort Of learning that may be turned
into dollars and cents. The memory
should be trained to accuracy. Chill
dren should be taught how TO write
and speak good English. 1t is the
most practical thing in the school cur
riculum. Three fourths of the time
spent on arithmetic is merely mental
gymnastics, yet If the child is taught
TO reason while taking mental gym
nastics, it is time well spent. The
big possibility in public schools is in
the moral training, and training in
citizenship. Good manners should be
part of the school training Eu-
genics should be left TO mothers and
fathers. The high school teacher who
convinces her pupils that no crowd Of
young boys and girls should go on
picnics unchaperoned does noble work,
Slack moral training of children on
the part Of parents is to blame for
more wrongdoing than mixed associa-
ton in public schools.

21.13i Seven Years Ago.

INDIANAPOLIS. May 19.-The in
GREASE ia the voting population in IN
sdiaha counties. containing the larger
cities OF the state, is causing an unu-
suaI amount OF discussion among
politicians here. The figures, com
piled by the auditor OF state TO show
the distribution Of the vote in Indi-
ana so that the next legislature in
telligently could work at reappor-
tionment-as is provided by law once
IN each six years, at the discretion
OF the egislature-shOwed that 1872,
S33 legal voters exist in the state
now. while in 1907. the last time the
same totals were compiled, the total
was 47.579 lower. In practically all
this increase the counties holding the
larger cities hold the whip hand.
In like ratio the smaller counties
of the state and particularly those de-
voted largely to agricultural pursuits
showed "A very noticeable falling off
in the total vote. This fact is alarm
ing not only from a political view
point. but il is furnishing the basis
for discussion as TO whether Indi-
ana's population is moving into the
cities from the fertile land that
should be the states source Of great
est revenue.
Here Are the Increases.

the larger counties of the state those
containing large cities particularly,
have increased in voting population
