RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.

H. c. G.-The words from Ar
ticle II, amendments to the Con-
stitution Of the United States, "a
well-regulated militia being nee
essary to the security of a free
people, the right of the people
to keep and bear arms shall not
be infringed," evidently have a
community meaning; but they
also carry along with them tho
right of the individual to safe
guard himself and his house by
keeping himself armed with the
necessary means Of defense. The
laws against carrying concealed
weapons, now on the statute
books of most of the States, Is
a matter quite foreign to the
broad principles Of the right of
keeping and bearing arms.

Germany's Great
Fresh Air Project
By EDWIN MARKHAM.

IN Elmer Roberts instructive
| book. "Monarchical Social
ISM" sent out by Scribner's,
md record of a scheme that
could well be put into effect on
the outskirts Of some American
cities also. 1t will appeal to all
of moderate income:
1.-THE passion of the town
dweller for the country, the town
dweller of modest income, causes
the large towns and cities in Ger
many to be encircled with what
looks like the shanties of SQUAT
tiers in the West. Around Berlin
are zones of open fields divided
into tens of thousands of plots Of
fifteen to twenty yards square.
often larger, which are let for the
summer to people of the city.
Each rectangle Is a miniature
country place. The skilled work
man, the small storekeeper, the
professional man Of moderate in
come rents one OF these little
farms and builds tiny house
upon 1t. He is expected to build
this house himself, and II Is con-
sidered bad form to call In car
penters or professional help. Two
hundred dollars spent on house
would be extravagant, and the
building, with spring repairs,
lasts for years.
IT know nothing like this IN
other countries There must be
a hundred thousand of these i'm
provised villas in the environs of
Berlin, each the fresh air base of
a family, plot set on plot with
footways between, in groupings
called arbor colonies. It is said
as political pleasantly that
these are the only successful
colonization projects Of the En-
pire.
The people who can not go
away for long to the seashors or
to the mountains find in these
daylight settlements that contact
with green things and sunshine
and air means health of spirit and
reconciliation 10 the arid life of
the city. The tangled spirits of
the factory or shop-driven en-
ployee are quieted and rested and
"tonicked- up" for the battle OF
the next day. The mental eff
fects on the grown people are as
obvious as the health and fun
that the children get.
The German nature cult apart
from sport has a deeper infiu-
ence probably upon the whole
nation than among any other
people, School children are taken
into the country one or two days
every week by one of the teach
ers and taught the names and the
meaning OF things they see.
Troops OF boys and girls, each
with a lunch box or knapsack,
walk for miles into the country,
through the public forests. learn
ing the names Of the plants. the
animals and the birds, and how
they grow, the simple outlines of
mineralogy. and the components
Of the earth. The children have a
fine day in the open air and grad
ually learn TO understand and TO
love the fields and the woods"

Great Marlborough was hand

Queen Anne, and the most illus
trious man In the world. bowling
his head to the storm, felt as did
the old Cardinal Minister of Hen
ry the Eighth-"Oh, how wretch
ed Is that poor man that hangs
on princes favors."
John Churchill-for such he
was to begin with-tust plain
John Churchill--was one of the
luckiest men that ever lived. If
fortune ever had a darling. a pet
ted, pampered favortte. upon
whom she delighted to pour her
richest favors, II was Churchill.
All the Graces, all the good and
kindly Angels. all the gracious,
smiling Fates seemed to camp
about him, and, when he moved,
TO follow him with their ever
renewed and never failing bene-
dictions.
And in way this seemed to
be all right, for Churchill, in an
important sense, earned his Illus
trious honors. He was selected
by his Government to beat down
the oppressive rule OF Louis
Fourteenth, and he performed his
task to perfection; and IN crush
ing the power of that high
headed old despot, he did England
and the whole world the service
that can never be fully appre-
ciated.
As general Marlborough is
almost without a peer. He never
lost a battle, never besieged a
city without taking 1t. and never
undertook anything in a military
way without accomplishing 1t.
Measured by the ideals OF his
time, he was a great MANN
fact, The greatest man-and II
was only right that he should
have his splendid reward.
But John Churchin reappeared
In the Duke OF Marlborough. and
John Churchill, while a very great
man, was anything but a good
man Selfish, unscrupulous, un-
feeling, q stranger to high prin-
ciple, and never knowing the Joy
of a great and noble enthusiasm,
It was only natural that his for
tunes should crumble
The Old lncorruptible Integri-
ty seemed TO say in the case of
Marlborough: Without intending
or wishing IT, you did much for
mankind You smashed the ar
niles u the Reactionists and by
your splendid victories paved the
way for modern liberty and prog
ress, and for this you shall have
your Ducal crown and splendid
palace. But because you were
always mean and selfish, think
ing more OF John Churchill than
Of humanity ana right. you shall
have j taste Of humiliation with
Il ala dash OF mud on your
splendid honors."

Expunges Stiffness.
Mrs. Winifred Harper Cooley.
president OF the Associated Clubs
Of Domestic Science, was IN
clined to back up DR.. McNutt's
conclusions.
Mrs. Cooley says that the
higher education for woman pre-
vents silly sentiment from TAX
ing her captive and lettering her
with an approximately indissolu-
BILE marriage.
Mature does not contemplate q
lifelong partnership" says Dr.
Anna Shaw, and It is not at all
likely that a woman of intellec-
tual attachments will marry
man who is mentally common
place"
The tragedy of marriage often
turns on the fact that while the
man and woman start In on an
equality. the woman gets incar-
cerated in kitchen, is deluged
in housekeeping details, and
swamped by society, while the
man goes ahead and Intellectual
ly evolves.
So at 40 or so this man and
woman are strangers to each
other.
Marilla Kicker, attorney at law,
says that the smallness Of fan1i-
lies is principally on account Of
the bad habits of the men.
And for these small families
we should be thankful. Nature
attends to this herself.
Men show women how to
smoke cigarettes, drink elevated
spherotds, gamble at cards, and
to go on speed limit rides In
search of joy. These lobster pal
ace devotees fear a baby as
calamity and scourge. and, hap
PLY, God, being good. babies do
not come to them.
while, perhaps, It Is true that
more women go to the hospitals
than men, the usual fact is that
these women are sent to the hos

a TABLE of interesting sta
~ tistics has been put out I'M
officially, from Philadelphia
with intent to show that the high
er education of women tends to
race suicide. The original basis
Of these figures was thesis
worked out at length by a Bryn
Mawr graduate.
We have been told that gossips
lie like epitaphs; and certain 1t
is that figures prevaricate. If
you don't believe 1t, ask your
tailor. Mark Twain says you can
prove anything by statistics, pro-
vtded you select the right ones.
Let an individual start out with
intent to prove point, and he
can find figures that will back
him up in it.
Logic Is an instrument for en-
trenching a prejudice At least,
that is what Miss Gildersleeve,
dean of Barnard, AYERS on being
interviewed.
Says Miss Gildersleevs: 'Ail
these figures prove is that young
women graduated in 1912 haven't
as many babies as the women who
were graduated in 1900"
Miss Gildersleeve is of the opin-
ion that the higher education
postpones motherhood. That is,
instead of the girl marrying at
10, she marries at %. And this,
Miss Gildersleeve thinks, Is
move in the right direction.
AS DR.. Stanley Hall says, DE
lay adolescence" so Miss Glider
sleeve says, Delay motherhood"
Miss Gildersleeve quotes Hugo
De Vries, the eminent biologist,
who says, The best qualities are
reproduced only from mature
stock"
Better Quality.
DR.. Sarah ]. McNutt, a. dis
tinguished authority upon med
ical topics, declares emphaticaliy
that 1t is her opinion, after study
ing the subject for many years.
that a woman who has had the
advantages of the higher educa-
ton will probably not produce as
many children, but her children
will be of better quality, and
more likely to live to attain and
to become.
For instance, a woman marry

The fact that a woman Of 20

of common sense than IL she had

OYSTERS LIVE AND DEAD.
And the Big Difference 1t Makes When
They Are Eaten Raw.

Speaking about keeping hotels, Sine
on Ford, who won fame and fortune
in that profession, had this to say
about the s%ucculent oyster:
People have come and sworn to
me that we had the finest oysters in
the world. Now, that was all tommy
rot. We had the same oysters any one
else could buy, although we always
bought the best we could. But there is
this about the oyster: When he is good
he is very, very good; when he is bad
he is very, very bad.
"There is a whole lot Of difference
between a dead oyster and a live one.
When an experienced opener puts his
knife into an oyster he can tell in a
second If the oyster is really alive.
He can even tell by the resistance
whether the oyster is in prime condi-
ton or only fair. If the oyster was
not just right our men would throw it
away, and they used to throw away
about one oyster in every four that we
bought.
"a dead oyster isn't fit to eat raw.
But the live oyster that is opened
right in front of you and stays on the
plate just long enough to squeeze a
drop Of lemon on, he goes down your
throat a juicy and a palpitating treat.
That's only possible when you stand
up to an oyster bar.
"Why, in some of our gilded palaces
they begin to open oysters after break
fast and you get them for dinner. Well,
you get them, that's all, and they're
dead! A corpse is a corpse, even if it
is kept on ice.'-Henry NJ. Hall in New
York World.

EATING SnaiIs.

In a silver bowl. with a silver three

the alleged dainty to the mouth. the
long, black gelatinous things are

METHOD OF TEACHING.
Wherein Our Educators Often Put the
Cart Before the Horse.


This simple principle spirit before
discipline we sometimes seem to lose
sight of in our education, consistently
putting the cart before the horse.
In the days of the renaissance,
when people had caught a vision Of a
new world, they studied Greek with
avidity because they believed it was a
path into that world. We reverse the
process. We set our students to grind
ing Greek verbs in order that in an in
definite future they may come in con-
tact with the Hellenic spirit, when
what they wanted was a touch of the
Hellenic spirit to transform the Greek
grammar into a book of magic.
We set them to cutting up earth
worms when what they wanted first
was to have their thoughts turned to-
ward the mystery of physical life. We
put them to studying Italian, trusting
that in due time a knowledge of that
language may prove an incentive to
read Dante, perceiving that a
craving for Dante might be made the
strongest incentive for studying Italian.
We red ink and blue pencil their COM
positions, believing. with a touching
faith, that there is some intrinsic beau
ty in correct spelling and perfect pune
tuation that will appeal to the under
graduate mind, and all the while what
they needed was a sense, however dim.
