The Mexican Policy.

The Hummer has always believed that the Presidents
Mexican policy right To fight Mexico would look like
lion jumping on a mouse and educated people over
running an ignorant people
If Uncle Sam had fought Mexico it might today be
guerrilla warfare with thousands of homes weeping for
their sons, fathers and husbands Pensions would be
multiplied and the graers would have become rich in
supplying the soldiers with food and clothing
Many who agitate war are those who want to sell
stuff to the army get rich quick in government
deals Of shady kinds Very few Of the agtators would be
among the FIRST to shoulders gun and march for the
sake Of their country. Very FEW
Today MexicOis starving NOW is the time that the
ING wisdom Of Wilson has looked for Now is the time

have destroyed the commerce of their country They
have run its monetary system the wall They have
killed thousands Of ignOrantpeOple who thought they
fighting for independence They have acted so ungente-
manly that Uncle Sam could not recognize them in the
way Of governmental amenities.
So the President will 60 about the pacifcatiOn of
Mexico in ahumane way. He will appeal to the American
people to HELP and believe they will respond quickly
and substantially The situation looks nearer the solving
than any time since Daz left the country Mexico is
in such condition that she MUST accept Americas offer
to help or starve to death
Wilson has been cussed for his policy Of watchful
waiting but believe that the people of the United
States will SEE his wisdom and join the rejuvenatiOn of
unhappy Mexico.
five had fought Mexico it would have been the cry
that the the fghtngfOr the classes Over
100000 Americans live in Mexico and of them have

adventure and for riches Just with the Lusitania If

believe that Wilson has done the right thing and think
that yet the Mexican situation will be solved the entire

Germany's Reply.

The reply of Germany coming as it did after a long
wait does meet the approval Of the great American
press and the people,
All of the comments still show faith in the Presidents
wisdom and they believe that he will make Germany stop
Qubbing and give entire satisfaction Wilson has shown
high diplomacy and never have seen nation stand
behind its president just like America has done and will
do unto the end Both sides have much argument

OPERA IS REHEARSED

Boston Company Leaves Trail of
Melody from Albany to N. Y.

Light travels faster than sound. as
you all know, but it doesn't travel much
faster than the sound created last night
by the members of the Boston Grand
Opera Company. En- route from To-
ronto to New York, where they open
at the Manhattan Opera House this
evening, they rehearsed from Albany 10
the Grand Central Terminal parts OF

cit. 800. 44ler midnight. was riot OF
sound for more than three hours. cays-
ing all kinds of commotion as II melodi-
ously flashed b. stations at sfty miles
an hour. Few Of the persons who were
standing at these way stations had the
faintest idea of the nature q the vo-
cal disturbances, and some may have
guessed that the Germans were in
process of capturing New York.
This is the first time that an entire
operate organization-there were 2i0
persons on the train-has rehearsed
under such circumstances. and if the
Pullman Company finds this morning
that its car sides have bulged II prob
ably will be the last.

One example. however, does not prove
n case. The following quotation from
DR.. John Dewey on the Gary schools
gives more conclusive evidence that the
Writ system results not only IN in
.erest but in accomplishment. DR..
Dewey says in his latest book, Schools
Of Tomorrow" in which he deyotes
much space TO Gerry:
"The inhexiblity Of the ordinary
public school tends TO push the pupils
out of school instead OF keeping them
in. The curriculum does not NJ them,
and there is no way OF making II NJ
without upsetting the entire organiza-
ton OF the school. One failure sets
pupil back in all his work. In Gary
organization has been made 20 NJ each
individual child, and is flexible enough
so that even the most difficult pupil
cannot upset its working. The child
and the school get along together
Does this flexible system work
successfully, or does il result IN easy
going, slap-dash methods We have
only TO visit the schools and see the
pupils hard at work TO be. convinced
that the children are happy and in
terested; while fiom the point OF view
of the teacl er ard educator. the an
swer is even more positively favorable.
Fifty-seven per cent of all the school
children in Gary who are thirteen years
old are in the seventh grade or above
il. This means that the majority Of all
the Gary school children go through
school at about the same rate as the
average pupil who is preparing for col
lege. Even more remarkable IS the fac.
that one-third OF all the pupils that
have left the Gary schools during the
eight years of their existence are now
in the state university, in an engineer
ing school or in a business college"
As a n.mber of letters have been re.
ceived commenting upon that part OF
the Gary plan WI ich relates TO religious
instruction, tina. subject will be taken
up again on Thursday. Only letters
which give the name and address OF the
writer will be ai.ewered. No unsigned
I letters will be considered.

PENNIES FEW: PUPILS FAST
Cost of School Lunches Increases and
Children Buy Less Food.

The annual report of the New York
School Lunch Committee Of the As
ISOLATION for Improving the Condition
Of the Poor shows a deficit of $7.963.s5.
There was an increased cost in con-
Quoting the lunches because Of higher
wages and food cost during the last
year, but the deficit is largely due to
the fact that the school children have
had fewer pennies. They therefore
bought fewer portions.
The deficit represents a loss Of one
half cent a portion. Lunches were
served in nineteen schools during the
last year, but VIII be served in sixty
three by January
