Where Praise Is Due

The Times wants to commend most heartily the
activity of Prosecutor Remain in raiding and pre-
pairing to prosecute number of Market street
houses which apparently have been used for immoral
purposes.
With the light departments fine new illumina-
ton system in place and making the street one of the
brightest in the city, the luser of the moral cleanup
comes at doubly appropriate moment.
Ii Mr. Remain means business, as he says he does;
4 he will push these to the limit and start as
many others evidence can be found by energetic
search to support; if he thus will let hotel proprie
tors and property owners know that he will enforce
strictly the abatement low-well, then the old d
street win have passed indeed and Tacoma's new

Keep your eye on your wife,
Not to keep some other man from stealing her
for wives worth having are not stealabe.
But to keep her contradiction that will help YOU
to keep cheerful.
And to keep her cheerful-for that will help to
keep her pretty.
To keep her pretty is to help yourself to keep your
eyes off other women, very necessary thing for a
married man if he would be happy.

JUST A SAMPLE.

A little girl who had live
bantam presented to her was dis
appointed at the smallness of the
first egg laid by the bird. Hell
ideal egg was that of the ostrich,
a specimen of which was on a
table in the drawing room. One
day the ostrich egg was missing
from its accustomed place. II
was subsequently found near the
spot where the bantam nested,
and on 1t was stuck a piece OF
paper with the words:
Something like this, please.
Keep on trying"

WHO'S RESPONSIBLE

Editor The Times:
Who is responsible for the in
mates of the Steilacoom asylum?
On March "a a woman inmate
escaped, and as yet has not been
captured.
On March 26, male inmate
escaped and was captured at
Steilacoom.
On April a male inmate ran
away and drowned himself in the
bay at SteilacoOm.
On the morning of April 5, at
3 a. m, a male inmate stole a
boat and sail belonging to my
self. The value of boat and sail
was $45, and when the superin-
tendent of the hospital was called
up he said he was absolutely not
responsible for the actions of the
patients.
And If he is not, who is?

WANTS CARNIVAL
Editor The Times:

Editor The Times:
l think its a shame that we
can't have carnival in the Sta
dunn this year.
People don't want to go to a
concert. They want to see some
thing worth while. That's what
the Stadium was made for. Re-
member the big pageants we had
when the Stadium was first built?
They were fine. We had 10000
people in a single audience. And
it was worth the price of admis-
sion alone, to see the crowd.
We built the Stadium to stage
big shows. 1t is only an object
of curiosity IL 1t stands idle all
the time. Let's have another
carnival, and put Tacoma on the
map as a city where we do some
thing worth while.
Respectfully.

Editor The Times:
The speedway races are bring
ing thousands of people to Taco
ma and are q great advertisement
for the city. This is dull bus
mess year, and the merchants
can't hardly afford to put up the
necessary funds for summer
carnival.
II we can have chorus of 1000
voices in the Stadium, without
costing any money, at the same
time that the races are pulled off,
it would be a big added attrac-
ton. And the business men
would not have to dig up a lot
of money at a time when they are
trying to- economize. Why not

Idaho New Educational System


I Of the most serious problems Of the
board. We have set our faces from
the beginning like flint against even
the possibility Of deficiencies. AT the
/ last seaion Of the legislature the six
state educational Institutions came up
Tor the FIRST time in many years with
out cent Of deficiency. Indeed they
had an aggregate surplus Of some
thing like $4,000, to be turned back
into the Golfers Of the state or TO form
part Of the appropriation for the new
bienniurn
Every institution nov has an ac-
counting system and system Of
acquisitions for expenditures, which Is
calculated to make the occurring Of
deficiencies impossible
Furnishing Information
The third principle in the rolicy of
the board IS that Of furnishing iiifor-
nation to the people Of the state, first
as to what the board is doing. It.has
no secret policies and for everva Fea-
SON desires the people Of the state to
know what IS being done with respect
to the schools just as fully as they are
willing TO listen or read.
Report Covering All the Schools
This policy IS illustrated in the first
biennial report Of the state board of
education, presented to the thirteenth
Legislature and published in January
1915 This Is, so far as we know, the
very first educational report covering
the whole school system, from the ele-
'mentary school to the university. In
this book Of less than 800 pages is
presented picture Of the whole edu-
cational system of the state. More
over, this single volume takes the
place Of what used to be put into
seven volumes, thus being issued at
much less cost than. these were, and
yet reaching far more people in the
aggregate.
The board also considers It its duty
70 furnish information on various ed
vocational subjects to teachers. school
trustees and others interested in cdu-
cation. Several bulletins OF this sodt
have already been issued. The state
board Of education has now already
for the printer bulletins on the follow
ing subjects The construction Of
school buildings: the organization Of
small high schools. II is also prepar-
ing bulletin on rural schools, and
one on agriculture in the schools.

The fourth policy Of the state
board OF education, 10 which desire
to call attention, is the earnest study,
and, i necessary, the reform Of the
curriculum or, III other words, what
the children are doing in school-Ehe
course Of study, as we sometimes call
Biggest Item IN the Cost Of Education
We have practically 100000 child
rem in our schools, or various grades
These children are spending their
time, day after day, week after week,
and year after year, in our schools.
This is the great investment in edu-
cation. True. we spend large sums
of money for buildings, for equip
ment and for teachers salaries, but
after all. when these are reckoned out,
they aggregate only $50 to $40 per
year for each pupil What is this
sAsm compared with year OF the
child's own Iife7 And vet that life is
invested largely in the school.
Hence, the great question for any
educational board is this: What are
the children doing in our schools?v
The question is not "Are these studies
which they are taking good, but are
they the best for these children. at
this particular time and in this par
ticular countryl"
More Science and Vocational Work
The state board at its last meeting
made certain very moderate changes
with regard to studies in high schools.
This action consisted briefly in giving
somewhat more announcement 10
certain studies which apply vitality to-
the life and future activity Of the
young people; namely the natural
sciences, which reveal and explain the
laws OF the world in which we live.
the social sciences, such as economy
and sociology, which deal with the
laws and principles of human life and
society; and third. vocational subjects
such as agriculture, home economics.
manual training, and the like, which
give definite preparation for various
occupations. The board made no ar
bitrary ruling on these subjects. It
- still open 70 any school to give in
struction. as much as II sees fit. Ia
what is sometimes known as the "oId-
er subjects. but the new regulations
DO not demand quite So much Of these
older subjects, and cali for somewhat
more Of natural science, social science
and vocational work.
As already stated, this Is very
moderate and conservative movement.
but we believe It is forward move
ment and we also believe that It will
lead naturally to still further moves
ment in The same general direction.
and the still further improvement 81

Schools Belong 10 the People

to recognize at al times that the
schools belong to the people, that
they are for the people and must Sc

Associated Press Correspondence
Munich, June 1.-THE King Of Ba-
varia has just delivered a speech at
the Bavarian Canal Society which is
attracting attention as the first note
worthy expression from any Of the
rulers Of Germany looking toward an
extension Of Germany's boundaries as
the result of the war. After referr-
ing. to what has been accomplished by
German arms since the war began the
King expressed his special satisfac-
ton over this because "in the general
settlement Of accounts with our enc
mics we can at last hope to secure
for South and West Germany more
favorable connections with the ocean,"
The King went on to say that the
blood already shed in the war shall
not have been shed in vain: 1.-The fruit
OF our victory shall consist in
strengthening the German Empire and
extending Its borders SO far as this
may be necessary to guarantee us
against future attacks" These words
have everywhere been accepted as
meaning that Germany intends to re-
tain either the whole of Belgium, or
at least the northern part Of it, so as
to give Germany Antwerp and COM
munlcation with it over wholly Ger
man territory. This is in line with a
project that has already been consid-
erably discussed in western Germany
OF building ship canal between Ant
Werp and the Rhine! so as to give
that stream a German outlet to the
sea. The economic argument in favor
OF SUCH a scheme-apart from the
cheapness of canal transportation
Is that nearly all of the iron and steel
exports from the great lower Rhine
region find their way to the high seas
by way Of Antwerp.
The subject of Immediate interest
before the Canal society at the meet
ing in question was the construction
OF large canal connecting the up
per Main with the Danube, a project
which has been under discussion for
some years. Tho King in his speech
assured the Society that his govern
ment would do everything possible to
carry through this project AS soon,
he said. as the canal connecting the
Danube with the Main at Bamberg
should be completed the government
would take steps to improve the Main
and make it navgable between there
ard AschaffeNburg. the point to which
large barges can at present ascend.
