THE RIGHT OF PEr1rroN.

THE RIGHT OF PETITION.
The possibilities OF the right Of peti-
ton have surely never been 90 exempn-
fled as in some petitions from Medford.
Petersham. Gloucester and other PLACES
in Massachusetts which Senator Lodee
presented to the senate q day or two
ago. They protested against LEGISLATION
closing barber shops In WASHINGTON ON
Sunday. Washington itself seemed UNI
aware OF the menace. ana but for
the timely assertion Of the right
to petition might never have found
It out. Another illustration Of the
almost uncanny omniscience which
the existence Of this right confers upon
our freeborn citizenship IL found in re-
monstrances that have been made
the shape OF the nag. No one In
Washington appears to have heard Of
such q proposal, but the protents
against 1t which the right Of Ioetifion
facilitates should be enough to prevent
any congressman who has been no,Ir-
ishing SO reasonable q design from at
tempting to carry It out. Tho Massa-
cnusetts petitions suggest that we have
never utilised this right az we might
have utilised It. If Medford ana Peter
sham feel called upon to express Them
selves upon the matter Of barber nhops
in Washington, why should not Yonk-
efs ana New Rochelle put their conv1c-
tons with regard to Sunday baaelaIl
before the legislators of Madison md
Jefferson City? Interstate petftionine
must take its place beside the initiaf-
i've. the referendum, and the recall -
neglected weapon Of our democracy.

THE CHINESE TIGER.

CATCHING THE CHINESE TIGER.
Flood, famine and relief for $500
years-a never-ending cycle unbroken
by study Of causes. or adequate meas
ures of prevention, nothing effectual
done to stop the monotony of continu-
Gus dole: here is a history about to
DO ended by what has been called the
most gigantic piece of constructive
philanthropy since the tabled days Of
Joseph Of Egypt.
In 1t, says Winthrop D. Lane in The
Survey for May. American initiative
has been the leading string. an Ameri-
can philanthropic agency has held the
forward end Of that string. and Amer
lean engineering skill will see the en-
terprise to its issue.
Portions Of the Chinese provinces Of
Anhui and Kiangsu have known little
rest from floods and subsequent fam
ines for twenty-five centuries. Millions
OF dollars have been poured into the
region in a single generation. Thou
sands Of tons Of free grain have been
sent in. bikes and embankments have
been built to confine the water. but
little or nothing has been done to deep
en- channels or to furnish means for
the free and quick passage Of the water
to the sea.
To all this an end is now to be put.
The rivers are to be reclaimed. all nor
NAL floods prevented. thousands Of
square miles Of waste land to be made
productive, and hundreds Of thousands
Of people who are little better than
paupers are to be given the means Of
regaining independence and self-re-
spect.
The first step in the negotiations
which are to make this possible was
taken early in 1911 by the American
Red Cross. After a preliminary sur

China has agreed to sell bonds to the
amount of go. 900 900 to finance the
measures proposed by Mr.. Jameson.
A board OF five engineers is to go
from this country In q few weeks to
make a more intensive study OF the
ground. 1t IL expected that q contract
for the work will be made by China
with the J. G. White Engineering cor
poration Of New York. The work as at
present planned will take six or seven
years.

In moral education don't smoralixe.
This II the advice Of Prof. r. q. Gould.
an English educator Of note. who has
been touring the United States az
demonstrators for the Moral Education
league Of London. Professor Gould's
carefully worked out program for
moral instruction in the elementary
grades impresses officials Of the
United States bureau Of education a.
one OF the most valuable Of the pres
ent efforts to make education tell in
fine character.
I Storytelling forms the basis for
most Of the instruction in Professor
Gould's plan. Once . week. or oftensr.
1t IL assumed. the teacher or princi-
pal gives a Systematic lesson ON the
conduct OF life. The various virtues
are taught, not ~ distractions. but by
concrete examples and by interesting
stories. The teacher is not to say:
This ought to be DONE" she il rather
to say: This thing has been DONE"
Hearing constantlyD about right &C.
tons. the pupils learn to appreciate
right conduct The spirit behind the
instruction IL the spirit Of service; but
this and other technical moral terms
are to be rarely. II ever. mentioned.
1T is possible" Professor Gould points
out, Ito give many lessons on civic
duty and scarcely ever use the word
patriotism. and yet the temper Of
conservation to ones duty and coun-
try may permeate the teaching and
inspire the pupils'
Professor Gould disclaims anything
novel or faddish about his work. It il
by no means new, he says. IT have
over and over again affirmed that my
was. in the strict sense Of the
term. antiquated; that is to say. it
consists Of the employment of the
and dramatic manner which
ia illustrated by ancient poets as well
as modern. by the narratives and
parallels Of the Bible or the Talmud,
by ballad-singers and story-tellers Of
the middle ages. and by allegorists
such as Comenius and John Bunyan.
''What perhaps I may claim is that
I have reminded educators Of simple,
principles, which. in the
somewhat unnatural rush Of over
crowded school programs. we are all
apt to forget: and along with that ef-
fort to get back to more direct action
In moral teaching. I have. it may be.
