COMM SENSE TEACHING.

Nf Oit wayne SenIlnel.)
There is going to be tremendous APP
plause from the gallery over the re-
port of a committee Of South Bend
citizens which has declared TO the
school authorities there its belief that
pouring over cube root, troy weight
and least common divisor is nothing
more or less than a waste of time on
the part of the pupil. The man who
merely tears down without something
better as q substitute is doing lStle
work of value. The South Bend COM
mittee, then, proposes to install in the
school curriculum instead the measur-
ing of the city's area and the length
of the various streets, the working out
of problems in the city's finances, the
figuring of estimates on the cost of
public improvements, and the compil-
alton of municipal budgets. The idea
may be subjected to much ridicule
from the staid school instructors, but
il is certain TO awaken a great deal OF
favorable comment from those who
have had some difficulty in finding
practical use in after life for the most
expeditions method of ascertaining the
lease common divisor while they

SUPERSTITION TINT STRAINS.

"SuppoSing only palaces were
ever destroyed by war and never
cottages, would there ever be
war?"-Reader.
OF course we cannot answer our
Reader definitely, as his question is an
impossible one. The present war in
dicates that nothing is spared. That
the monarchs engaged in it still have
palaces is wholly due to the poor aim
and other shortcomings of bomb
throwers.
But we are willing TO enter into
contract to put an end TO war, if given
full power to carry out our suppOsi-
tons, to wit;
First. we would suppose that only
palaces be destroyed.
Secondly. we would suppose that
only the owners of palaces and the
inventors and makers of war weapons
and munitions do the fighting.
These two things would end war,
but there never Yves, never will be a
war under such conditions. and an
Swering questions predicated on such
suppositions is first degree murder of
time and space.

\ SLAP AT THE HYPHEN.
(Grand Rapids News.


The state department at Washing
ton has issued a statement which
practically removes the hyphen from
American life The department de-
clares that children born on American
soil, whose parents have become nat
uralized American citizens cannot be
clasSed as possessing dual nationality
and are not considered by this govern
ment TO be liable 10 military service
under a foreign flag The document
issued by the department says:
while the United States always
has recognized the existence of dual
nationality in the case of children
born in the United States OF alien
parents or children born in a foreign
country of American parents, II does
not concede that dual nationality eX-
lists in case of foreign-born parents
who have acquired naturalization rs
q United states citizen"
On the other hand the government
cannot guarantee to protect aliens
from military service abroad. The
duty of aliens intending 20 reside here
is TO become American citizens as soon
as possible.
The citizenship Of this country Is
being rapidly sOhGified and at the
close Of this war there will be an
American race which viii be stronger
and more potential than ever before.
The hyphen is on its last legs and
within few years it will pass away
20 be heard of no more.

\ BIT OF WAR.

quoted by an American correspond
emit are perhaps 10000 unburied or
partly buried dead The stencil is

upon those nearest our trenches. AS
a matter Of self-preservation both

Its CHASTITY beyond imagination.
Words can't portray 70 the mind that
picture--by day and night white eyes
staring out Of faces burned coal-b black
by the sun. There are places where
there are veritable piles Of bodies. As
the days and weeks 90 by they shrivel
and shrink together like little heaps
of old clothes. Those silent heaps are
more weird by moonlight than by day.
Il wish those who cause and make
war with indifference would be put
into that hell of death between Neu-
Vile and Lorette Heights for a little
while"
That's the way they ali talk now.
All the belligerents have learned what
war is: and whether naturally paciists
or militarists, they're sick OF it. The
pity of it is that they didn't realize
It last July.

DIVORCE MADE EASY.
(Terre Haute Starr

The records of the county clerk
show that 3, 45S divorces were granted
in Chicago in 1914. An analysis of the
figures indicates some very plain facts
which probably apply TO divorces else
where in the United States as we'll as
10 those granted in Chicago.
There were only 1O2 casts contest
ed. The remaining 1886 went by de-
fault and of those 2,542 were insti-
tuted by women. Almost half of those
women, or 1,O45 charged their hus-
bands with desertiOn. There were $50
degrees granted to men, who alleged
that their wives had deserted them.
The next most important cause was
cruelty, a total of 69S DEGREES having
been granted on that ground. Infdel-
ity was ranged next, with 3SS cases,
and drunkenness fourth, with 266 di-
vorces TO it's discredit.
1t is apparent from those figures
that only about one divorce in 80 was
awarded as a result Of trial of the
merits of the case. The applicants
in the other 80 suits went into court
with whatever cause Of action seemed
to them most convenient and least
distasteful. Naturally they most read
lily alleged desertion when husbands
or wives were gone and not expected
to put in an appearance. Next 10 de-
sertion it was easiest for an applicant
TO remember some acts of cruelty and
TO find witnesses ready to corroborate
testimony on that charge.
II is significant that in the total Of
3,45S cases there were only u in
volving those who owned their homes.
II IS also significant that there were no
children in 2,171 Of the cases.
The clerk. in his report, says that
the law shoUld be so amended &c mako
the states attorney n party TO every
divorce case. That is a good Sugges.
ton. 1t would result in bringing out
the facts in thousands Of uncontested
cases and put an end to much OF the
fraud and collision undoubtedly prac-
ticed at present. Ard by making Gi-
Vorce more difficult 20 obtain il would
tend TO prevent hesty. ill-advised
marriages and to increase respect for
matrimony.

ARBITRATION WINS.
christian Science Monitor

The cause of arbitration in indus
trial disputes has been reinforced by
the decision to refer the controversy
between the New York city cloak and
suit manufacturers and their 900
operatives TO a tribunal of disinterest-
ed persons for settlement. Citizens
who knew what the resort TO war
would mean, and who knew of the
specially honorable relations which
until recently governed the disputants,
used conciliatory methods to induce
arbitration; and as peacemakers they
reward of duty well done. This in
dustry is one of the largest in the
metropolis, and of late has been a
model for the country in formal def
milton of rights of employers and OF
employees. For it TO have reverted TO
the strike and lockout would have
been retreating to a lower stage of
civilization.

that thousands of children in country

was sent out TO teachers and parents
that they interest their children in vO-

keep them in school. Vocational work
is not TO be taken as a substitute for
the regular educational system, but
should help keep those boys and girls
