Good Health to the President

Pass Christian is in a narrow neck Of land be-
tween the waters of Bay st. Lonis and those Of the
Gulf of Mexico. Well sheltered toward the point
from which a blizzard might pursue the .Presidednt,
ii one could get" so far south, and open fronted TO.
ward the %subtropic sea, it seems the ideal place for
the recuperation of q man who has had ten strenuous
months of work in Changing things 50 old and we'll
settled that it has not been easy TO move them. The
forests look on Pass Christian, and Pass Christian
looks on the sea, and musng there some weeks alone
he'll dream that trade will yet be free.
Alone! 1t is SO nominated in the bond, and the
people insist that the very letter of the bond shall
be observed. Whether agreeing or disagreeing with
his new policies, there is not a genuine American
who has failed to note, and to admire, the persever-
ing, stick-toit.ivenes OF Mr.. Wilson in forcing their
adoption. This fact, considered in connection with
a career free of moral olemish, has been the best
proof of his sincerity of purpose. Through the hot
test summer Of recorded time he not only stuck to his
own post almost continuously, but he held painting
Congressman, anxious to lay down the burden, to
their task. Whether the work prove good or i'll, and
whether the summer Of 1913 will, because of it, hold
a higher or lower place in the popular recollection
than it holds now, some fear the President overtaxed
his vitality in doing that big work. The public solic-
itude, little short of anxiety, follows him to Pass
Christian, and so far as public opinion can make itself
felt there, it will demand that he have that rest which
he has earned.
1t will not be had for the asking. Pass Christian
will do well it's part. The brass band and the re-
ception committee, the functions at which the prom
inent citizens struggle for the honor of introducing
a distinguished guest as "the man Who; the dress
parades; the hail to the Chief; the See the Con-
quering Hero Comes,' and all the foolish fummery
attendant upon the great when away from the places
where they have come to be familiar figures, will be
honored in the breach and not the observance. Eat
there are the politicians. There are the office seek
ers. And there, perhaps still worse, may be repre-
%sentatives of financial interests wanting a finger in
the making Of the federal reserve board which will
control the new banking and currency system. If
no mail, no kilograms, and no telephone messages
could reach tMr. Wilson at Pass Christian, the country
would like it better. And it is thought he can afford
to take that risk. There is no immediate danger.
Congress left Washington at the same time he did.

Pau Teachers TO Studu Abroad

"Cities should grant leave with half-pa to modern
language teachers who will go to the expense of
study abroad" declares William B. Snow, of the Bos-
ton English High school, in a bulletin just issued by
the United States Bureau Of Education. On the
whole DR.. Snow thinks modern language instruction
in our best schools is as good as that abroad, in pro.
portion to the time allowed. I'VE need more good
teachers and an opportunity for selected pupils to
begin the study Of a foreign language under compe.
tent instruction in the grades. The colleges should
give special attention to preparing teachers OF mod.
en languages"
In speaking of the various methods of language
instruction, each with its ardent advocates, d.. Snow
says the reason the discussion wakes so warm is
that all the methods have some good features; that
nearly everything depends upon the teacher. The
worst OF a dozen methods, employed by a strong
teacher with underlying purpose we'll in mind, will
give a more valuable training and better results than
any method when employed by an inferior teacher.
1t is probable, too, that one method is better than
another for doing some things, but less effective in,
so that the aim which seems most important will
determine the method to be used in a particular case.
Instead of trying to lay out i'll detail the "best meth
od," we should consider various methods that have
been found good, endeavor to see wherein their merit
lies, and decide what method seems especially well
suited to various conditions and to different types
of classes or teachers.
On the question of whether conversation or trans
]ation should be emphasized in teaching modern Ian
guages, DR.. Snow insists that both demand teaching
of the very highest type to be effective; that both
are valuable. Translation has it's warm friends and
its bitter enemies. Reformers have worked as hard
to drive it out of the class as they have to drag con-
versation in. The difficulty is that the meat in the
sandwich has a tendency to drop out and leave only
the bare bread; translation comes to be a mechan.
ical substitution of the words of one language for the
words of another, with little or no thought in the
process, while translation ought to mean the study OF
a passage until its thought is clearly apprehended and
then an effort to put that exact thought into the
other language with all the force and beauty that
our command of the second language makes possible.

The Red Book Magazine for January introduces
three new writer's: Katherine Hill, Clinton York and
John Barnett, and makes such a feature of their
stories as to indicate that it has tremendous conf.
dence in their future. In these days of such effort
by the magazines to get the work of the writer's
whose regulations have become established, it is re-
~freshing to find especial stress laid upon the work
of newcomers, especially in a magazine which in the
same issue contains writings from Rupert Hughes,
Meredith Nicholson, H. G. Wells, George Randolph
Chester: and others equally we'll known.

PUTTING THORNS IN CUPiD'S
PATH.

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 1.-Wiscon-
SINS much-discussed eugenic marriage
law went into effect today. The law
prohibits clerks from issuing marriage
licenses until the groom has present
ed a physicians certificate showing
him to be physically fit for the state
Of matrimony. Heavy penalties are
prescribed for violations of the law.
A wide variety of opinion exists as
to the constitutionality and the proba-
Bile results Of the new law, bur t Is
generally agreed Nat it is likely to
be defeated in it's mai lobjects. AL

and other cities have announced that

for %, which is the fee prescribed by
the law. On the other hand, if the
examinations are left to county ply
sicians the latter are likely to be so
overwhelmed with work that great
delay attendant upon all applications
for marriage licenses will result. 1t
is considered probable that these con.
licting conditions will give rise to a
suit in which the courts will pass up
on the law.

Mr.. Watts was probably the oldest

Mr.. Watts was one Of the generous
