TEACHING ARITHMETIC

How arithmetic as taught fails to
inspire thrift was related by Mrs.
Ella Flagg Young, superintendent Of
the Chicago public schools, to the
board OF education when a new
course of study was adopted.
I'm arithmetic we are moving back
to a sensible foundation" she said.
II went into school some time ago
in district where the parents of not
one child in the room, in all prob
ability, could have commanded 81 1000.
The teacher was giving problem in
computing stocks. The children were
asked how much man lost who
bought $4,000 worth of stock at los
and sold at So. The children couldn't
become interested. There are several
underlying ideas in the course" she
added.
Que is to overcome the cry that
the school children pursue too many
studies at one time. There was a
time, however, when the course was
considered too meager and parents
took their children out of the public
schools and put them in private
schools. Then came the demand for
music and, art, The teaching of draw
ing prevented the defacing of build
ings and furniture by pupils who had
no outlet for their art inspiration. It
came to be realized that the training
of the hand SO that it would work
with the eye was an Important
feature IN the full development Of a
child's education. To keep sto' the
bare fundamentals means that the
children of the poor are taught only
the studies absolutely necessary in
determining whether one is illiterate
or not. Children SO educated would
be turned into the factories with
nothing to help their intellects and
souls except the ability to read the
simplest things"

PRESS OPINIONS
PRINTING THE NEWS.
(Reaumont Enterprise)

beaumont Enterprise)
The DeRidder Enterprise finds
fault with the correspondent Of me
Beaumont Enterprise because he very
properly sends out the facts in con-
nection with the action of the city
council of DeRidder in allowing the
picture shows and pool halls OF De-
Bidder to open on Sunday. the De-
Ridder paper takes the position that
the affairs OF DeRidder are DeRid-
der's affairs alone and that no enc
else is concerned, or ought to be
concerned or ought even to know,
what is being done at DeRidder.
Such thing can not be. No one
person lives to himself alone ard Ito
more does a town or city exist 1ndc-
pendent of the rest of the world. The
observance of the Sabbath is a world
wide question and all mankind is in
terested in knowing how the rest CT
mankind observe the rules of living
DeRidder has an ordinance prohibit
ing the operation of pool halls and
picture shows on Sunday and the city
administration saw fit to set aside
this ordinance and turn the pool halls
and picture shows free on Sunday.
That the action taken at DeRidder
Is news needs not be asserted. The
fact that it seems to the editor of the
DeRidder paper to be news unfavor
able to DeRidder is incidental. Per-
haps the day will come when news
papers will print only the favorable
the pleasant, the uplifting news of the
world and when that day arrives the
criticism of the DeRidder paper will
be well taken. If the publishing of
the fact that DeRidder has opened up
Oh Sunday is hurtful to the town the
blame does: mot rest upon the news
papers for that state OF affairs or the
results from it. II it is hurtful and
does the town an injury the blame
properly belongs upon the city Off
cials who made or unmade the law.
The DeRidder editor should have lev;
eled her attack at her city officials
for doing something the publication
OF which injured the town. Men who
commit crimes often blame their mis-
fortune upon newspapers which pub
fish the facts when they are alone to
blame for their misdeeds.

TO ENLARGE OUR
= FOREIGN TRADE

s Washington, May 27-A two days
convention. was opened here THIS
morning, composed of representatives
of the financial, commercial and IN
dustrial activities of the country,
which have a direct interest in the
promotion and expansiaI OF foreign
trade. The convention is being held
under the auspices of the American
Manufacturers Export association.
American Asiatic association and the
Pan American Society of the United
States. 2
The purpose of the gathering is to
give expression to the views of men
representing the productive agencies
Of the country in regard to the more
effective promotion of American COM
MERGE in the markets of the world.
Attention will be called to the handi-
caps which are placed upon American
exporters by unwise Legislation and
departmental restrictions. 1t is as
serted that in this country many
things are prohibited which German
industry encourages for the promo
ton of the German export trade. .
United States now stands third
among the nations in volume OF
foreign trade, but has no national
foreign trade policy or accepted sys-
TEN of developing foreign trade. The
new tariffs, creating a greater com
petition condition, and the new Fed
eral Reserve act, authorizing nation
al banks to engage in foreign bust
ness, have introduced new elements
intr the conditions of the import
and export trade. The heads of in
dutsires keenly realize that this
business, especially the export trade
in manufacturers, is SO large that i
bears a vital relation to industrial
conditions in the United States.
The convention will urge better
provision for commercial attaches
and "a greater degree of attention tt
trade extension in the diplomatic ser
vice. President Wilson has been Asket
ito address the delegates, and thu
convention was opened by Mr.. Will

merce.

THE TIMlID. MAN.
(Fort Smith American),

4Timidity is the sorry trait in man
Kind that holds back progress. No
sooner do men, carried away by right
eous enthusiasm, vote for men who
stand for what is fair and for reforms
than they become frightened at
shadows.
There are sincere men right now
who are sorry they voted for Wood
row Wilson because they have been
frightened by the panic cry of men
whom the President has said ought to
hung higher than Hannah, because
OF their selfish readiness to sacrifice
the public interest to protect their
own profits"
A good man is elected to office

the people who elected him. I'm

from the pack of wolves who sec
their special privilege curtailed. They
see themselves separated from the
methods by which they fed their greed
for years, and they begin to misrep.
resent new measures and to abuse
the officials who have been respons
ible for them.
Then there begins the detection O
the poor fellows who are so easily
scared. They are just frightened t.
death at the thought that period o
