Shall We Remain a Financial
Power?

Ever since I1dlulllOu COu-
ceived the first Bank of the United
States, and pointed this country toward
the path that leads to economic sound
ness, the grea at minds of the nation
have dreamed of the day when we
would step forth and assume a place
among the financial leaders of the
world. But it has always been a
dream, the naturalization of which,
even to the most optimistic, appeared
to be far off. There was so much to be
done in the developing of our own land,
the financing of ourselves, and so little
to do it with, that, far from being able
to help others, it seemed that we should
need help ourselves for many years
to come.
But with the great war a reality and
no longer a Pigment of the romanticist's
imagination, conditions have changed.
Our long-awaited opportunity has sud-
denly arrived. In a year we have been
able to make up the ground that would
ordinarily have required a decade, pos
sibly half a century. A year ago we
were overwhelmingly in Europe's deot
Today the situation Is reversed; it is
Europe that owes US. Now we are
being asked to do, on a small scale,
what Europe has been doing for us, on
a huge scale, for the last hundred
years. From the birth of our nation
to the summer of 1914 Europe extended
to us her credit, not because of any
altruistic desire to help us, but be-
cause she found profit in SO doing. To
day we are asked to extend our credit
to Europe, and the principal induce
ment is precisely the same that Actual
ed Europe in lending to US. We will
profit by it.
We are about to lend Europe, or, to
be more exact in this specific case,
Great Britain and France, a huge sum.
That has already been arranged by our
bankers, and to that extent the United
States has become a lending nation,
which is analogous to saying that the
United States is, for the time being at
|. asst, a financial power. Whether or
not we shall become a permanent
power, however, lies not with the bank
ers, but with the public. The bankers
have done their part, aid now it is the
public's turn. For, just as the public
is called TO the polls to express its will
regarding laws and government, SO
is it being called upon by this
Invitation to buy the bonds issued
jointly by Great Britain and France, to
express its will regarding our future
position in world finance.
There is a positive limit to the
amount which banks and bankers may
advance to foreign countries, or TO pri-
vate individuals, and that limit must,
sooner or later, be reached. If we are
to accept the opportunity now present
ed it must be acceptance by the public
which will supplement the efforts of
the bankers. Alone the bankers can
not go very far. They have taken the
initiative. but the public must follow
and support them or the position we
have craved for so many years will not
be won and we will have missed our

with a very pretty party dress.

]. e. Armstrong, principal of the
Englewood Qll) high school, says that
boys and girls who have arrived at an

things worth while are hampered by
an effort among schoolteachers and

He says in a letter:
"If there is any one thing our young
folks need In their education above all
others during the high school period
which is not being self sufficiently en-
phasized it is the ability, courage and
independence that will lead them to
undertake to do something real and
depend upon their own resources Par
ents and teachers have worked togeth-
er to relieve young folks from re-
sponsibility too much, and they fail
to recognize the things they ought to
be doing for themselves.
'The curriculum Of the high school
is ironclad. 1t has always been diff

Is going to make short cuts or shoddy
work. About fifteen years ago some
of us suggested that the board Of edu-
cation agree to recognize meritoFious
work done outside of school, but this
was soon dropped on account of the
opposition of the conservatives among
the principals. Two distinct efforts
have been made to allow pupils to sub
stitute instrumental music taken out

school, but this has been opposed for
fear 1t might lead to trouble In check

education has recently permitted pu-
pills to substitute work done at a drug
store as an apprentice to count instead
of one study taken In school, but we
