Two Senators Who Showed One Point of Resemblance

1T would not be possible to bring

George t. Edmunds, of Vermont, and
Senator John p. Morgan, of Alabama
They were for some years colleagues

Among the half dozen most famous
Jewish women of all times and all
countries one would certainly include
the name of Grace Agullar, who is
said to have been the first woman
in England to stand forth as a public
advocate of the Jewish faith
She was born, June 8, 1916. the.
daughter of an English merchant OF
Portuguese extraction. The most
marked thing about her childhood
was her extreme physical delicacy
coupled with the greatest intellectual
abilities. Her father and mother
eagerly encouraged her ambition to
study and devoted great deal of
their time to teaching her As she
did her needleWorlx or slxetched, her
father would sit by the hour and
read her the works of history-espe-
cially Josephus, which was always
favorite of hers. At the age of seven.
she commenced keeping a diary, and
at twelve she wrote a drama, called
"Gustavus Vasa," which. though it
has never been printed, showed re-
markable capabilities for a child OF
a dozen years.
One of the characteristics of Grace
Aguilar's childhood, which she never
outgrew. was a great fondness of

How Uncle Sam keeps the officers
and men in his army up to the top
notch of efficiency is told in a special
report on Educational Systems in the
American Army in the annual report
of the commissioner of education just
issued. The statement was prepared
by Captain Douglas Macarthur and
approved by General Leonard Wood.
mo country in the world has as COM
plete a system of professional scho-
lastic training for it's officers as the
United States" declares Captain Mac
Arthur. This is due to the inherent
difference between the military estab-
lishments of foreign nations and that
of our own. Their armies are at all
times kept upon a war footing, as
result of which they have ample op
portunity for the perfect training of
the personnel in the practical duties
of the military profession.
In such an army the main object is
to train every man for the efficient
performance of his duties in the
grade which he holds when war
comes. A lieutenant does not dream
OF becoming a captain merely as the
result of war except as a vacancy is
made for him in the casualties of bat
tie. Only in the same way does a cap
tain expect to become a colonel; nor
would the idea be tolerated that great
numbers of trained line officers are
to be suddenly transferred to various
staff positions. Their organizations
are founded upon the theory that
there is nothing mysterious in the art
of war; that technical and scientific
training is needed by only a small por-
tion of military officers; that certain
things which a Napoleon must know
every officer must know, and can as
readily acquire as he; while those
things which differentiate a Napoleon
from other generals cannot be ac-
quired in any school, not even in that
of war.
Such a system would be thoroughly
unsound if transplanted to the Amer
lean Army, the organization of which
is quite different from continental
armies. In fact. the most striking
feature in our service is the absence
of what constitutes the very essence
of the foreign establishments, that is
a great standing army serving i'm
corps, divisions and brigades, in
which the average officer of any
grade learns the details of his profess
sion by practical work and with the
minimum of theory.
Our system of military education
must therefore differ from that of the
other great nations of the world 1t
must be such as to educate our Off
GERS so that they will be able at q
moments notice, when the war eX-
pansion comes, to perform the duties

Moving Picture Reform.
