The slaughter of Miss Cavell has for the time being settled the question of conscription in the British Isles. There is no need now for conscription. Vol unteering is adding soldiers to the British army by the thousand every day and the killing of an English wo-

: Schoolbooks are changed too often, cost too much and there are too many of them. Parents of observing nature have long been convinced of this and most teachers admit it. However. these assertions are vigorously denied by the schoolbook publishers, who quote government statistics to show that the average cost per child for schoolbooks each year is less than 79 cents. As soon as the war is over it will be essential that all the textbooks in modern history, geography and several other subjects be changed. This will add to the ordinary burden unless relief is sought by the people who pay bills through curbing the customary rapid and unnecessary changes.

Benches in Yited to seats by the waters edge, for those who would read, or rest, or idly watch the procession Of smart cars which never got through passing "a

 So important is this question be- coming, that the American Civic As- sociat;on has taken up the matter of pointing out the economic value of recreation facilities in American ci- ties, more especially in their parks large or small.
 The president of the American Civic Association, J. Horace Mcfarland, writes from Washington in com mendation of the movement for the extension and larger use of parks In AmerIcan cities. lays great stress on the testimony of Governor Martin G. Brumhaugh. of Pennsylvania, who has tersely said:

"l am a firm believer in the neces- sity and value of recreation eenters and of playgrounds for our people; and these should be made as ample and as convenient to the residences of the people as possible.
 "If we are to conserve the health, the morals. the fine spirit Of enthu- siasm so vital to the welfare of peo- pie, we have in this recreationai movement the greatest opportunity for good now lying within the field of social service.
 'The wrongs against society are committed by people, not in their hours of work, but in their hours of leisure, and the responsibility lies not who'll; with the people who perform these unfortunate acts, but with those who have not been wise enough to see to 1t that the fundamental business of the community at large is to see that it becomes increasingly easy for the people to do right, and increasingly hard for them to do wrong
