BAR WAR OUT OF SCHOOL,
PENNSYLVANIA URGES
Militarism Organized Insanity, De-
clares State Superintendent
Schaaeffer.
OTHER VIEW is PRESENTED
New York Commissioner Has Word
in Favor of Military Organiza-
finn

Cincinnati, Feb. 26-The introduce
ton of militarism into the public
schools of the United States would be
organized insanity" declared N. c.
~Schaeffer, State Superintendent of
Schools of Pennsylvania, before the
Department of Superintendent of the
National Educational Association
here tonight, and added:
"When the demand is made that mil
itarism form an integral part of vo-
cational training, the teachers dis
traction reaches a climax. If she
should succeed in fulfilling this latest
requirement, the public schools would
develop a race of Amazons more fierce
than the militant suffragettes. The
war brides need as much bodily help
and vigor as the soldiers who marry
them, if future generations are not to
show signs of decadence.
investigations have shown that
military drill is injurious during the
adolescent period. The moral drain
age which results from militarism is
still greater. 1t does not develop the
sense of duty such as the Sunday
school inculcates, but justifies spying,
lying, forging letters, kilograms and
signals to mislead the enemy. Having
been taught that it is right to sus-
pend the d~ecalogue for his country's
sake, the pupil afterwards repeats the
Ten Commandments for his own sake,
whenever any advantage can thereby
be gained in the political or financial
world.
"The great Powers of Europe have
come to Judgment and are grinding
one another to dust and ashes. Their
fate should be a warming to the Amer
lean people not to introduce and foster
militarism in the public schools"
John H. Finley, president of the
University of the State of New York
and State Commissioner of Education,
in speaking on the same subject said:
eff by our educational system you
mean our elementary and secondary
schools, and if by war you mean the
hellish thing which is now going on in
Europe, then | say no, u educational
system should not include those whose
sole purpose is preparation for war.
"But if you will let me define war
| am ready to TVS yes | am
a militarist in the primitive, ancient
Aryan sense and I build my martial
system on the same foundation as that
which all European languages re-
member-the assembling, the organ
izing of individual men into milites,
militia. 1t is the War Department
that has dug the Panama Canal, that
has stayed pestilence and ministered
most effectively to cities overwhelmed
by disaster. | would have the con-
servation of health and the direction
of education conceived of as func-
lions of the Var Department, scien-
tifically, ~austerely administered for
the common good"

DIR. HORNADAY FEARS A GAME
LESS JERSEY

DIR. w. T. Hornaday, of. New York,
one of Americas ibest-known natural
lists and a trustee of the National
Permanent Wild Life Protection Fund,
has written a strong protest to New
Jersey authorities against the propo-
sal of the State Forester that this
State should destroy its game.
In his letter DR.. Hornaday says, in
part: "My attention has been attract
ed by newspaper accounts to certain
attempts that are being made in New
Jersey to destroy New Jersey game.
While I have no fear that the sensible
people of New Jersey and, above all,
Governor Fielder will permit any re-
dictionary proposals and efforts to sue
coed, yet the prospect that New Jer-
sey may be set back ten years is not
a pleasant one to contemplate.
"The proposition of your Forestry
Commission to the effect that all deer
and rabbits shall be exterminated
throughout New Jersey, to prevent
hunting, is certainly very novel and
ingenious. I think that the people
of New Jersey will regard it as a
public curiosity. | will be surprised ii
the Forestry Commission finds any
support for this proposal outside its
own office.
II also note the fact that some one
is proposing to introduce the bounding
of deer in New Jersey. The people
of New Jersey, who ordered their
Legislature to pass the Lewis and
Colgate bills, expelling automatic ano
pump guns from New Jersey, certain
ly are not going to sanction the exter'
mination of deer or rabbits or the
bounding of deer that are not exter-
minated. No Eastern State would
adopt such a course.
"Any laws now enacted for the
repeal of the anti-deer bounding law
or providing for the determination OF
deer and rabbits would be a deep dis.
grace to the State of New Jersey and
an unqualified injury to the people OF
that State"

ANGLERS TO FIGHT STREAM
POLLUTION

at is the duty of the sportsmen and
anglers of New Jersey to aid the
State health authorities in their eff
forts to keep the streams and all other
sources of water supply in the state
free from contamination and pollu-
tion," says B. M. Stanley, of Newark,
a member of the State Fish and Game
Commission, commenting on the eff
forts of the latter body to make the
State a fisherman's paradise. The
commission has restocked streams in
all parts of the State with rainbow
trout, black bass, white and yellow
perch and other game fish; but the
permanent value of this work and the
possibility of making every creek and
pond a source of food supply, the Com
missioner says, will depend largely
upon the freedom of these waters
from sewage.
"Many of our most beautiful
streams are being transformed into
public sewers" continues the Com
missioner. Conservation of a pure
water supply is essential to the pub
lie welfare. No manufacturing plant
has a right to dump it's poisonous
waste into the river. No city or town
has the right to empty its sewage
into a stream that flows by it's doors.
This does not dispose of the city's
filth; it merely transfers it from one
place to another and makes the water
unfit for use farther down stream and
spreads disease to fish and to people.
1t is wrong legally and morally.
every true sportsman will do his
part to aid in eliminating wherever
possible every such source of stream
pollution"

To Provide for the Utmost Safety
of Patrons and Property is the
First Duty of Every Well
Managed Railroad

The railroads of Pennsylvania and New Jersey fully realize the
importance of properly manned trains. Were the claims of those
who arbitrarily forced the railroads, under the Full Grew Laws, to
employ men for whom no jobs exist just and warrantab!e, the rail-
roads themselves would be the first to recognize those claims.
Full Grew Laws Costly
Interstate Commerce Commission statistics concIusively prove
that Full Crew Laws work three grave hardshipsI e.:
They increase the number of casualties.
lThey cost the railroads and thousands of men and women
and savings funds are investors in railroad bonds and stocks, approx
mately 81, O0O, 900 a year in wages for unnecessary labor.
5They deprive the people of a vast amount OF improvements.
No Trains Undermined
The railroads contend that their rains eve could be undermined for
the following good business reasons: -.
Frst-A freight rain of locomotive at $4,000, and IS cars at $1,000
each, would represent 100000 in rolling stock. Is it reasonable to assume that
$275, the wage If an exuab brakeman? Would it risk the loss of 100000 worth
Second The railroads know that tic reach full earning capacity and to get
from their equipment and roadway greatest possible service, all trains, must be
manned with enough men t enable them to do their work and make their trips
Public Inconvenience
Suppose, for example, the Lackawanna Limited left New York for Buffalo
with four cars. Suppose it arrived atS houdsbug and there it became necessary
to put n fifth car o accommodate unexpected traffic. Under the Full Crew
Laws this could be done only after an Extra brakeman had been brought from a
division oint or he troudsburo passenger would have IL stand liz crowded
cars until the train reached Scranton. Should the public be SO inc .eniencedi
Why Laws Should Be Repealed
The railroads now-as always intend to man every freight and passenger
fence. They desire to give that absolute safety, efficiency and service to which
the people are entitled.
There is n purpose to lay off men whose services are necessaryt to ade-
quately man trains; the object is merely to eliminate men for whom there
Legislation that hampers railroad service, safety and efficiency by expend-
ing money which should be used to increase the safety the welfare and the con-
venience of the public is unfair to the people.

Corn Planting

The drrtl, OF planting must be
governed by the quality Of soil and
the moisture it contains ut the time
Of planting. The depth OF planting
has little Or no effect on the dept II
to which the roots will go. Where
the soil is heavy and contains plcn-
ty Of moisture, planting from one
to tNo inches in depth will prevent
rottlng and assure better yield
than il planted deeper. When
planting so shallow, however. there
is danger that there will be a com
siderable number OF uncovered hills.
Therefore, the field should be as
smooth as possible. Uncovered
hills like poor seed, may very mat
crially reduce the yield and con-
sequcnt profit. When the soil il
light, open and dry, planting to a
depth Of from three to four inc'"7
is advisable.

notice about two years ago, since
which an active campain to stamp
out the disease has been carried ON
by the reservation authorities under
