DIFFERS IN NAME.

The republican party is divided in
to two parts processing in the main
the same old principles. One part is
cynically hardened and defiant and
the other rests its claims chiefly up
on the assumption that it has a mo-
nOpoly of honesty. Viewing the work
of the Wilson administration the peo-
pie have their own notions of which
party has demonstrated its honesty.
The republicans and progressives have
been pretty much of one mind in OPP
posing the policies of the Wilson ad
ministration in congress, all of which
makes clear the importance Of voting
for the return of all democratic sena-
tors and congressman.

A PLEA FOR INDIVIDUALITY.

Supt Milton c. Potter Of our pub
lie schools is eminently correct in his
plea TO the teachers not to try to
cast the child in a mold but instead
to do all possible to allow its individ-
u6lity in its own direction, as express
ed in an address before the Milwau-
kee Teachers association the other
day
The book is the most serious dam
that can come between the teacher
and the soul of the child" said Mr..
strikes boldly at the root OF an edu-
cational problem which has been
banded wrongly for centuries. There
has been too much book study, and
too little self-Teliant thinking on the
part of the students. ParrOt-like
learning has been the vogue at the
expense of mental initiative, which
means much more
Children have been made into
echoes. They have largely lost
originality. Things were all pre-
y mapped out, with a prescription on
any other mode of arriving at a con-
cluSiOn than by memory Of course,
individualism can not be entirely
muzzled: but many teachers have
done much toward bringing about
such a condition. School children
can learn from natural objects and
events about them. Mr.. Potter thinks
very wisely that the ruling of Phila-
delphia in prohibiting the discussion
OF the European war in the schools
is unfair as lit sets the public school
in a pool entirely remote from the
stream of human life" while this
great conflict lis the most vital sub
ject of the present age"
Continuing on this subject Mr..
Potter wants il understood that, I'VE

fulness of the teachers. however. in
discussing the war. The danger Of
the loss Of a father. mother or rela
tive of a German, French, Polish,

tesy."
There is some sense in this. The
schools are part Of life, and not
Sc parate from it, The faults of edu-
cation have been that il did not fit
the students for life. but gave them a
smattering OF things which took their
minds out Of the current of the
thought around them. OF course. no
