This Is the season when 1t Is mos necessary to preach the cult of tht open window.
 Windows open themselves naturally in the summer. We all sigh then fol the cool breexes which the highhuna sash invites. But it is so easy in the winter to leave a window shut ant keep out the cold. Yet this Is pre- cisely the season when the house ali Is most dangerous.
 A window down at the. top Is sci' dom a draught- creator. This IS a simple fact which many do not know hut a knowledge of which might leat heats of timid people into lowering the window. Yet nothing draws oil the stale air from room like 6 win dow dropped an inch or two from the top. It Is far more effective thai window raised at the bottom. An'

Three years ago Lloyd Geogre. as :, matter of economy. proposed to the British Parliament a reduction of the naval program from four battleshipa to two.
 And there was an outburst of indi- gnation throughout Great Britain that shook the empire. Lloyd George WA almost burned in effigy and the English people. shaking their sturdy fists at Parliament, literally compelled the continuance of the program that has kept England the mistress of the seas.
 In that spirit lies the strength and prestige of the British government.
 The people of England stand reso- lutely behind the English navy.
 And % do the American people stand just as. resolutely behind the preserva- tion of the American navy in its pre- sent strength and power. Give public opinion in this country any great oc- cnsion to express itself on this great question. and 1t will ring as definitely ap England's In defense of the status which makes ours the second among the navies of the world.
 The American Congress must not forget in its representative character the individual pride and patriotism Of the great body of the American people. There is not . farmer in the far West or A workman in the East who does not rejoice in the rank and power of those great battieships that hold us in the front rank among the nations of tho world.
 There is not an artisan or a scholar who should not resent the penny wise end pound foolish policy which. now proposed in congress would drop our navy from the second to the fifth place among the worlds battle fleets. and have us subordinate even to Japan in our power and prestige on the seas.
 Never was there . democratic policy 50 narrow and 90 mistaken as that which would appeal to American sem timent on the eve of an election by a cutting down of our splendid navy as bid for the votes of patriotic people on the plea of economy.
 The American people should and they will, resent such an appeal. as the English people resented a similar one
 The necessity of a greater navy was never more urgent and appealing. Our country's splendid isoiation-our ever CT larging coast line, to which CuDa may of necessity be added in time the Panama canal. the aggressive com mercial ambitions of Japan and the unbroken advance of England.

There has been much criticism of the public school system throughout tho United States of recent years. Sc much 70 that the United States Bur eau of Education has taken up the subject of current criticisms of public schools and mede 1t the basis of Il recent report.
 Among the charges brought against tbc present system Is that the "Thrce T.s" are neglected in the mode n public schools throughout the country After a thorough investigation by the bureau it makes the emphatic statr- ment that not only are the "Three R's" not neglected but that they are better taught today than they were nifty or sixty years ago. That a knowledge of these subjects are ac- Quired in shorter time, more thorough ly instilled into the mind of the child and that by a system which leads the child step by step in its progress by easy and Interesting methods which keeps the mind always aroused as completely as though 1t were at play.
 We frequently hear of the good old days when we went to school when there were not 90 many fads and frs:;s in the school. The critics who utter this sort of criticism are seldom at agreement on exactly what the fads ind frills are but they invariably look hack to a golden past when the fun dsmentals. reading. writing and arith- mstic were taught in a way never to ba forgotten. Yet as matter of fact the schools of today are unmeasurv- ably in advance of the school of thi past. Whatever may be said against the enrichment of the course of study by ..fads and frills'' the contention that the essentials. 90 called have suffered by comparison with the past is not supported by the facts and falls nat Much of the current critics which av' e general is due to the marked chang. in the purpose of public education.
 There has grown up a demand among the people. which is supporte' by many if not all the leading educa tsrs for vocational subjects in th' school curriculum. which represents m mere call for different subjects al such. but c complete transformation .n the idea of what the public schoo should do.
