Need OF Training
By Prof. J. F. Peters

1t requires no lengthy argument
to convince any intelligent person
of the great value of systematic
training as offered in the public
schools of today. While all forms
of honest labor are perfectly honor
able, it is easily seen that the hard
est kind of manual work falls to
the lot of the uneducated and IN.
trained. A well trained person has
far greater opportunities and a
much larger field in which to seek
employment With a chance for bet
ter compensation.
The greater advantages offered to
the well educated should be an in
centive to every boy and girl who
has attained the age of understand
ing to make the most OF all oppor-
tunities offered to them by the free
public schools. To do this requires
regularity in attendance, a spirit of
cooperation, close application to
design; It'd tasks and a conscientious
effort to succeed The habits form
ed in youth are very likely to be
followed through life, so ones sue
cess depends in large degree upon
the training he acquires at school.
The tendency in recent years to
adopt courses of study to the nat.
ural ability and tastes of pupils is
very commendable. In by-gone
days every pupil was Obliged to

BERNSTORFF
MAY SUE CRITICS
German Government Said
to be Planning Action
for Libel
ATTACKS RESENTED
Protests to State Department Against
Private Accusations Bring ke-
course to Courts.

Washington, Dec. 23.-lndications
are given that the German gov
ernment is making plans to demand
the punishment for criminal libel OF
those who have made accusations
acainst Count Won Bernstorf, Ger
man ambassador. The German En-
bassv has complained several times
70 the State Department against at
tacks against the Ambassador. 1t IS
understood that reply has always
haon that the Ambassador has re-
conrse TO the courts and it is indicat-
ed that action along that line is now
contemplated.
The German attitude is that Count
Won Bernstorff is amenable only TO
the President for any possible OIL
fense and must not be subjected TO
nrivate accusations. This View rs
based on the following principle OF
international law, as propounded IN
Moore's digest:
"An ambassador or other repre-
sentative of one foreign nation re-
siding in another is entitled to BE-
treated with respect SO long as ne Is
nermitted to continue in the country
- which he is sent, and especially
ought not to be libelled by any OF the
citizens. If he commits any ottense' II
belongs in our country, to the fresl-
don't ia, take notice of it and not. to
anv individual citizen. The President
NAV dismiss him or desire his recall
or complain to his sovereign and re-
ouirc satisfaction.
This position is strengthened by
an unofficial declaration by high aa-
ministration official that Ambassador
Bernstorff, so far, as the evidence
gathered discloses, is not implicated
in any of the alleged plots and con-
spiracies under investigation by the
Department of Justice.
It was be urged by the German gov
ernment that unless this government
takes steps to suppress slanderous
,.t;erances and publications rejecting
on the honest and integrity OF Am
bassador Bernstorff, his usefulness to
his government will be utterly de-
stroyed.

Miss Janet K. Woods has hailed Miss

lice court in an attempt to relieve

Justice Harry May and prominent at
torneys are appearing in the matter
which is one of the most unusual
cases on record here. Both Of the
women, spinsters, are members OF
we'll known Staunton families.
Miss Woods charges that Miss Ryan
has wooed her during the last two
decades more ardently than a love-
lorn youth; that she has written her
tender love missives; has followed
her about the city and waylaid her
at herhome in her endeavors to press
her. affections upon her. Time after
time, she says, she has beseeched
Miss Ryan to desist in her. attentions,
but without avail, and finally, in des-
peration, she turned the matter over
to the authorities. 1t is probable that
the case will be in progress for seve-
