ARE YOU A BEAST OF
BURDEN?

If a man works hard all his
life, driven by the whip of Daily
Wants, which exhaust his daily
income, he finds in his old age
that he has simply been a "beast
of burden"
What's the use?
While life's forces are strong
within you then is the time to
save.
Save while the saving is good
and when your earning days are
over have something to fall back
, upon.
Systematic saving is the life
plan of countless thousands of
persons who have worked out
their own economic salvation.

Rich And Poor In The Courts

theoretically rich and poor should
be equal in the courts. Actually it is
an almost impossible ideal to re-
alize. The Harry Thaws are within
their rights if they spend every dol
lar of their money in hiring the best
legal advice. And it would never be
wise to encourage litigation by pro.
viding unlimited legal talent for the
poor man, so as to place him on an
absolute level with wealthy clients
In civil cases.
The rich man seems to get the
best Of everything in this world. 1t
Is the law Of life. He hires the
2ost skilful doctors, and gets well
there the poor man succumbs. He
Employs expert foremen for his fac
!ories, and wins more wealth, while
The struggling business man fails
Tor lack Of competent assistance.
Eimilarly the man with the long
purse has the most clear headed,
kstute, and learned lawyers. They
but their clients in the most favor
Able light In criminal cases, and In
civil suits make opponents look like
the traditional thirty cents"

DEMOCRATS AND TARIFF.

Quiet but active preparations are
being made by the Democratic lead
ers in Congress to revise the Under
wood tariff law, watch they appreci.
ate, although they will not admit it,
is a hopeless failure, both as a pro.
lection measure and as a revenue pro-
Queer. The excuse given for revis.
ing the more radical reductions made
by the Underwood law will be the
need of increased revenue. The def
cit for this fiscal year beginning
July I, exclusive of expenditures for
the Panama canal, is already $40,
SOC, 900, as against a deficit Of $500,
600 for the same period last year

that only the European war has say.

cial conditions, and that had the mil.
lions of men now slain or fighting on

pear farms, at the wages which Gus
tomarily prevail there, American la.
Dor would have faced starvation be-
cause of lack Of employment. Soon
err or later the terrible conflict must
come to an end and tle millions OF
soldiers will return to their normal
occupations. Should this country
then be found with no protection
other than is afforded by the Under
wood law, the direst consequences
would result. There are some intelli-
gent Democrats who deplore that
their party abolished the tariff board
watch, had it continued it's labors,
would now be in a position intelli-
gently to advise the Democratic lead
ers what tariff changes should be
made. a subject on which few Demo-
Gratis are we'll informed and on which
no two can agree. AS soon as Con-
gress meets Senator Penrose of Penn
sylvania will introduce a comprehen-
sive tariff bill which may serve as a
guide to the Democrats in framing
the necessary legislation. ....

The rich man may get the better
of his INDECENT antagonist in the
law suits of civil life, but often
these victories cost him high. There
are many very astute lawyers who
rarely take their clients cases into
court. If they can get any kind Of
a decent settlement, they close up
the matter to the clients advantage.
1t is not merely the lawyers bus
iness to throw himself into his
clients Ease and fight it for all it Is
worth. He should also see the other
side. If the opponents position has
its strong points, the lawyer who
is a true friend to his client will
advise compromise. The immediate
fee will have added to his reputa-
ton for wise counsel.
We're this spirit more generally
to prevail, justice would be easier
for the poor man. The big fellow
may be able to win with his com.
mand Of legal resources. But bat.
ties gained that way often leave 4
heritage Of bitterness that costs far
more than the winning Of the suit
was worth.-oswego, n. r TyMes.

TEACHING THE ADULT lMMi
&n1.t GRANT. s*8. ~

The necessity of teaching the adult
immigrant how to speak English as
soon as possible after his arrival is
emphasized by H. r. Wheaton of the
United States Bureau of Education in
a report just made public.
with the adult immigrant desire
for instruction and ability to acquire
language are largely lost" says DR..
Wheaton, yet inability to speak Eng
lish is the most serious barrier to
intercourse between Americans and
foreigners. Furthermore, employers
are coming to see the necessity of
teaching their foreign-born employees
the English language and something
Of the rules of safety. Experience
shows that a large proportion of in
dustrial accidents are due to the fact
that foreigners have not understood
the orders of the foremen. A can
vass Of many employers of foreign
born workingmen indicates that a
knowledge of English is urgently
needed. This is particularly true of
railroads, steel plants and foundries."
In eight of the principal cities Of
the United States, according to DR..
Wheaton, the number Of foreign-5orn
adults unable to speak English totals
over 500 200. New York alone has
422, 900.
The types of schools adapted to the
education of the immigrant are even.
ing, industrial, and camp schools.

different Cities" declares DR.. Wheat.
on, sis far from adequate Appro.
priations are insufficient to provide
the requisite teaching. Failure to ap.
preciate the need of increase in &C
c%ommodations is shown by the fact
that 10 cities in the state of New
York, with a population of. 10000 to
80, 1000, and with the foreign-born pop
ulation varying from 1000 to 1000,
have no public night classes where
immigrants can learn the English
language.
DR.. Wheaton finds that private and
religious agencies have largely sup.
plemented the inadequate provisions
made by the state to teach the adult
Immigrant English and American
laws and customs.

RURAL SYSTEM.

Inc HuIdl oCuOOl 0ySLem OF MILF
nesota; a Study in School Efficien.
cy," by-H. W. Fogt, specialist in rural
school practice OF the Bureau Of Edu-
cation, is a pamphlet which educators
throughout the nation may read with
considerable profit. In the letter of
transmittal, Commissioner p. P. Clax.
ton says: Through what seems to
be q very wise adaptation of methods
of support and administration to
schools of different kinds and to
schools working under varying condi-
ttons in different parts of the state,
but still preserving a high degree Of
1iberality in expenditures for educa-
ton, the state Of Minnesota has made
remarkable progress in improving
the efficiency of its rural schools.
Believing that an account of this i'm
provement and of the methods and
means by wi;lich II, has been wrought
would be helpful to those working
for the Improvement of rural schools
1n5sother states. i detailed Harold w.
Foght, one of the bureaus specialists
in rural education, to go to Mime
sofa and study it's rural schools and
prepare such an account for publica-
ton" This pamphlet embodies the
result of his studies.
In his preface the author says:
"This state" referring to Minnesota,
"at an early date committed itself to
certain educational policies that have
made possible the establishment of
dts present comprehensive system of
rural and village schools. Perhaps
no other state has been quite as sue
cessful as Minnesota in establishing
q system of schools intended to meet
the demands of modern rural life,
and it is for tlis reason that the
study is made" The purpose Of the
pamphlet is to emphasize only those
phases of the rural school system
that have a definite relation to the
successful operation of the schools.
These are school maintenance, espe-
cially VITA general and special state
aid, units Of school organization, fall.
ing under the heads of small districts,
large undivided districts, and unor-
gained territory; kinds of school or
ganization, comprising consolidated
and associated schools; agricultural
and other industrial subjects in all
the schools; and rural teacher train
ing in high schools. This interesting
and instructive pamphlet pays a higl
tribute to the rural schools of a neigh
boring state. 1t is a bulletin of the
