nourishes aren't genuine" John said
earnestly. Let's make It an issue and
try it in court. At any rate, Wen be

his last days had his failing powers
concentrated on his single aim and
evolved a final safeguard for the MAS

With the sealed letter in hts hand
John Dorr stared at the superscrptiop:

TEACH WORSHIP OF HEROES
Books for the Young, Dealing With
the Present War, Are Used
in French Schools.


Leslie Scott sends US a specimen
of the new war eries Of the penny
French booklets known as The
Rose Books for the Young and in
forms us that the French govern
ment is distributing these wholesale
to the schools Of France, the London
Times states. The series is well
adapted to its purpose Of bringing
home to the next generation the
greatness Of their heritage, now be-
ing sealed in their fathers blood.
The style is simple and direct, and
the illustrations, while vigorous, are
free from offense. Such literature
plays an obviously important part in
the organization of a sound nationst
spirit, which is one of the first duties
Of government.
Mr.. Scott asks whether anything
is being done on similar lines ia
Great Britain. We are not aware
that the board Of education is dis
tributing any corresponding litera-
ture to the schools in this country (;
the selection of books, like other
matters Of administration, is by our
system Of decentralization in the
hands Of local education committees
who in their turn have to lend an
ear to local authorities preaching
economy. The cost Of such distribu-
ton would be trifing, especially il
the "war books" were substituted for
some part Of the normal curricu-
lum.
