Government plans Citizenship Training

With the cooperation OF the National
! Municipal League and other organiza
lions long interested in the problem
OF education for citizenship. the United
States Bureau OF Education is under
taking comprehensive study of the
whole problem OF civic education. The
work will be under the immediate di-
rection OF Mr.. Arthur W. Dunn. now OF
New York. who made for himself n
national reputation some years ago by
his work in this subject in the public
schools of indianapolis.
In this field OF activity the govern
ment bureau OF education hopes to do
officially and Systematically what has
heretofore been attempted by a num-
Der Of organizations working indie
pendently. Many civic associations
throughout the United States have
been agitating in behalf of education
for citizenship; valuable results have
been obtained: and many committees
have made important experiments in
improving citizenship through the
schools and through other agencies.
The bureau will seek to coordinate
these hitherto separate efforts; to
bring cooperation where independent
action has prevailed; to make known
everywhere the results of civic educa-
ton so far accomplished; and to for
mulate a constructive plan for definite
work in this important field.
One OF the most pressing problems
in citizenship education is that of
properly equipped teachers. There are
few teachers that have had the re-
quisite special training. 1t will be one
of the vital tasks in the new work to
find out what can be done to train men
and women, whether already in the
service or just preparing to teach, for
the definite responsibilities and posi-

THE BASEBALL SITUATION.

f The Argus is glad Rock Island made
a dignified and reasonable effort 10 get
/ into the Central association OF baseball
clubs. Notwithstanding that it failed.
az least for the instant. and notwith-
standing that The Argus has never en-
Unused over the prospect Of having a
lower grade OF baseball than that to
which the people have been accus-
toned.
The present attitude OF this paper
Is governed by local circumstances.
When the municipal bonding issue. in
volving the proposition TO purchase
Island City park was before the people
last fall. The Argus held that the
grounds should be taken over by the
city and held for all time as ball
park and athletic field, and that II
Rock Island expected TO have baseball
this year or a. any time, the park must
be saved. II was this argument that
brought to the support OF the project
the baseball lovers of the city. and in
view OF this fact The Argus has felt
lie il was plainly its duty 10 champion
any move that would insure 10 the
city a league team. Had Tearney been
deposed at the fall meeting OF the
Three-I league. Rock Island would have
gone in But when II was found that
there was no possible chance for the
city honorably 10 seek a franchise
among it's own associates, and there
developed a purpose here to seek a
berth in the Central association, The
Argus backed the movement.
It was proud OF the spirit manifested
by the supporters of a new organization
here TO await the decision of Moline, !
which got into motion first, and it was
willing to give its backing to the new
association that took the field when I
Moline Withdrew, and raised the nee
essary money TO put a team in the 4
Central association should a franchise !
be awarded.
Rock Island has always played base !
ball on the square in all fits relations to 4
the game 1t harbors no i'll will to-
ward the Central association or any of l
The cities embracing it, because this
city was not admitted yesterday. The
outsider In any organization has no
light 10 criticize. much less condemn.
he acts or misconstrue the motives OF
IN association TO which in good faith
[ seeks membership. There are no
loreheads in Rock Island over what
yesterday.
The only unfortunate phase of the
Proceedings was that the Central asso-
iation permitted Marshalltown to bluff
Is way in. instead of deferring action
ending the receipt OF Secretary Far
ellis ruling holding Rock Island in
pen territory. This important declar-
ton. which was in the hands of NJ. II.
exton OF this city an hour too late to
p OF avail. would have altered the
hole aspect OF the Central meeting
nd doubtless absolutely changed the
osition OF President Justice. who 1t is
air TO presume was guided by the
uestion OF constitutionality OF the pro-
sedings in refusing to entertain the
uestion OF Rock Islands admittance.

Commas.

The French do not, as a rule. employ
inverted commas TO Indicate 4 dialogue.
but they employ the dash TO Indicate
u change OF speakers. which is just as
bad. Certainly many punctuation marks
are sadly misused or oyerused- Dick
ems flung unnecessary commas all over
his pages-whole battalions OF them.
Walter Pater also employed them with
extraordinary prodigality, frequently
before the word and where the con-
junction rendered them superhuous.
Pater was also overload OF the mark
OF exclamation, so that when he drops
a Yes" into his measured style IL must
needs appear as "Yes!" But. though
the Bible does without inverted COM
mas, there is real art in its punctua-
tlon. How admirably it marks the ca
dence and helps the drama in that
great story OF the prodigal son!-Lon-
don Chronicle.

Your witness appears to have a

1 bilities of direct instruction in citizen
ship.
Present methods of teaching civics
will be carefully investigated. Whether
1t Is sufficient that children should
know how the president is elected, or
that they should be able to recite the
constitution; TO what extent modern
social and civic questions-clean
streets. pure water. milk supply, fire
protection, means of transportation,
cooperation. suffrage. divorce. etc.-are
TO be considered. These are the sort
of questions to which tl,e new corps of
investigators will have to give some
attention.
Special effort will be made to report
the many attempts on the part of pro-
gressive communities to give all school
subjects a more definite civic value. In
Kansas City. Kan, for example. the
chemistry course in the high school is
in effect course in practical civics-
such things as water and milk analysis,
with their significance in community
life, are emphasized, and high school
students serve in the municipal labora-
tories. Cleveland teaches municipal
problems in the biology course. In
dianapolis has course in community
arithmetic" in the elementary schools.
Vocational education and school n.y.
giene both have civic phases of i'm
mense Importance. These and other
practical matters in citizenship train
ing will be carefully examined.
In announcing the bureaus new
work Commissioner Claxton points out
that in the larger sense all education
is really education for citizenship;
that not only is citizenship training CO.
extensive with effective education in
general, but that ''the final justification
of public taxation for public education
lies in the training of young people for

his compartment when he started, but
at the first station two left the train.
The remaining passenger besides Cum

with Il broad collar turned up about
his neck ard felt hat pulled down
over his eyes. AS soon as the traiD
started after the second stop he reused
himself, yawned, cleared his throat

afforded by the dim light from the

He offered his box of cigarettes to

from his pocket and, scratching a
match on it, held the match for the
other TO light his cigarette. This gave
better illumination of his fellow
passengers face and Cummings was
very much struck with it. He was
sure if he ever saw it again he would
know it. 1t was a serior face, the
face of one who might / expected to
have some great object in life, and

have been handsome. But only a

He was awakened by a rough shake

A man in police uniform was bending
over him. Cummings found it hard
to keep his eyes open and closed them

was an ulster which he recognized as
belonging to his fellow passenger, His |

asked
WAS there young man with you?"
asked the policeman quickly.
