CIVIC EDUCATION.

More and greater arguments are be-
ing advanced every day for a better,
more intelligent and conscientious
citizenship. These all are directed at
the present day voter, forgetting
that it will be but a few years until
the affairs of city, state and nation
will be in the hands of a new gen
Grafton which is now in school. Some
of them will cast their ballots in half
a decade or less.
School standards have been chang
ing. For a productive life of ma
turity, students in the public schools
ere being taught manual training, do
nestle science and vocational prep.
aration. But for intelligent and eff
Gent citizenship, unless we say that
the study of Latin, history, grammar,
geometry, algebra. botany and phys.
les prepare them, the pupils are not
trained whatsoever.
Meanwhile, citizenship demands
are growing more exacting and are
requiring, more and more, a consci-
entious and intelligent mastery of az
fairs. More individuality in thinking
places a larger responsibility upon
the voter. Training, as a result, be-
comes imperative if we are to have
q better citizenship and, based upon
It, q better city. This training must
be independent and non-partisan and
the place to provide it is in the pub
lie schools, where it may be given

ENGLAND

British security feels rudely dis
turbed by the Smelling of Scarborough
and Hartlepool. 1t is the first time
in a century that such an assault has
been made by a foreign foe.
1t seems probable now that Ger
many sent a few light cruisers for
the moral effect such an attack might
have upon the British people. If the
movement of troops from England to
the continent can be checked by con-
centrating for the time being the at
tention of the British wal Office upon
home %defenses, Germany doubtless
believes more ground could be gain
ed in the western theater of the war.
The fire of Eritish cruisers has
been working havoc along the coast
Of Belgium and France. preventing
the extension of the German lines to
Calais. Probably the raid on the
English coast was planned as a coun-
ter attack to draw the fire of the
British fleet from the coast of Bel
GUM.
Hartlepool is one Of the important
shipping centers of England. There
are large shipbuildi1g interests there
and Germany probably plans addi-
tional raids on commercial centers.
Those towns are approximately 800
miles from Heligoland and directly
opposite that German naval base. 1t
seems hardly likely that an invading
force will be landed in England. Ger
many and Austria have a big contract
at home. Russia and Servia in the
east are making the defense of the
German and Austrian frontiers no
easy task. At this range it seems
doubtful whether Germany can spare
an expeditionary force, not to men
ton the difficulty an invading army
would have in landing upon British
soil.
But the war has been fall of sur.
prises.
No one knows the true situation.
News is fragmentary and contradic,
tory.
Even the apparently impossible
may happen.

And when I had sought the advice Ot

walls and knew where my feet should

climb from my prison.
Then came other friends with ad.

me.

a day when the walls of my prison lay

here awaits investigation and record
before the Entertainments OF newer
culture have destroyed this invaluable
record of the life Of an interesting

School Elections

All over this state important elections will take place today the most important elections those of school trustees strange that little interest is taken in them, considering their importance. It matters far less who mayors are, our county officers and most of state officers Yet the school elections are allowed almost with out warning of their approach.
 The school trustees responsible for the penditure of large sums of money They waste it. They can graft There is less check upon them under our laws than upon any other officer state. county municipal in the matter Of money spend ing They outline the policies of the schools which their success much depends; they employ the teachers.
 But there good thing to be said of this apparent lack interest in school elections for it may be that it is a lack of interest at all but a confidence that the right thing will be done The elections are always partisan, and they are factional only when there is an abnormal condition, a feud in neighborhood. Usually men of good character and capacity put forward candi- dates for school trustees It is be said for them and are generally the fathers of school children. For the most part therefore school trustees are good men, notwithstanding there seems little in terest in their selection.
