EDUCATION

The note of warning sounded by an eminent English professor re Centl", against the danger of sub situting technical training for generous education, ought not to pass unheeded, Any one who takes even the most casual survey of the educational history of the last forry years must be struck with the accel- eration everywhere noticeable tc- wGrd specialization. It is the age of the specialist, as 1t is the age of the division and sub division of labor, and any one who works out this tendency to its logi- cal conclusion must recognize Ghe need of such a warning as has been alluded to. With an extraordinary l7'Etude fer coining phrases which has already considerably enriched the language, an eminent British politician recently iAyeighed against the attempt on the part of purely materialistic outlook ''to recreate man, the image and likeness of God, in the image and likeness of a Diesel engine" Some methods and developments Of modern education cannot be held wholly blameleSs of such tendency
 There is a story told of Raikes, which is not inapposite in this connection. We'll known for the ex- traordiuary sweep of his general in- formation, there was an earnest concern amongst some of his friends to discover some subject with which he was not familiar. On one oc- casion. a fellow guest at a dinner party, at Holland house, attempt cd to achieve this purpose. In col .ysion with some other men, he raised Q discussion on Chinese metaphysics. To their surprise and horror, Raikes plunged into the dis Cussion, contradicted them all point blank, and wound up with the anus ed remark, ''Now, gentlemen, l know where you got all your infor- nation. You got 1t from an article I wrote many years ago in an en- cyclopedia- I was ill-tnformed on the subject then, and am in a much better position to educate you in the matter now"
 The worlds greatest men have always been the men with the wid- est interests, men capable of sym pathizing with many pursuits and many ideals, and who, through the broad understanding which this brought to them were able to take into account, at their full value, great fundamental facts which the more specialized and technically eff Ticient theorist might have complete ly lost. In regard to such vast question as education, 1t is use less to attempt to indicate royal road in an apothSgm, but where the

SURE SOURCE OF PROFIT

One of the commonest news items of the day Is the one which tells how many thousand horses some agent of a foreign government Is buying in the United States. Wherever horses can be obtained In large numbers such transactions are taking place.
 The great war Is simply consum- ing horses by wholesale. It is killing them and maiming them so fast that at the rate things have been going there will be nearly horse famine if the struggle goes on a year or two longer.
 Obviously, one of the sureSt sources of profit for American farmers Is the raising of good horses. The end of the war will not only find Europe largely de- nuded of horses for all purposes but it will be followed by such de- mauds for industrial and com mercial purposes that the United States will be called upon to make good the Old Worlds lack, much as 1: Is depended upon now.
 The colts foaled next summer will be fully matured before the effects of the war upon the supply of horses and the need of them in many parts of the world can pass away or cease to keep prices above the normal level.

TAKING PROFIT OUT OF WAR

Increased armament is to be one
of the big questions before congress
at its next session. Congressman
clyde Il. Tavenner from this district.
Will be one of the leaders in a fight
TO have manufacturing Of such added
munitions as are provided for done
by the government, and not by pri-
vate companies.
There is a reason for the stand Of
Congressman Taveuner and this rea-
son will readily occur to anyone who
has followed his series of articles on
the World Wide War Trust" recent
" printed in The Argus and in other
newspapers throughout the United
States. There is a great profit in the
making Of war materials by private
firms, even when done in time of
peace. There is an exceptionally big
profit in the industry under present
conditions and there would be no ex-
ports now if the government made the
munitions exclusively and could thus
forbid their shipment To get added
munitions the United States will not
have to bid against foreign nations
which are buying everything in sight
and TO which arms and ammunition
are more important just now than hu-
man life. Obviously. this country will
have TO pay q pretty figure for any
thing that it buys from private max
ers, at least while the present war is
in progress.
The policy Of depending upon such
firms for the nations war supplies
means q fat thing Of it for those who
have the capital and are equipped to
do the work. It tends to the forma-
ton of a clique which has an inter
est Ia the promotion of war
Congressman Tavenner believes
that it is the duty of the government
to take the profit out OF war and the
preparation for war Government
manufacture Is the logical step 10
this end. He believes, also. that the
proper way to carry his point is 10
lay the facts and arguments before
the people. This he is doing by means
of two articles which he is submitting
for publication to thousands Of news
papers in all parts OF the United
States.
The Argus prints the first of these
two articles IN this issue. The other
will appear next Monday. The two
cover points which will be made in
one Of the most important fights ex-
peeted to come before congress at its
next meeting.
They are worth reading.

defense, without the strength with
which to compass self defense So
long as state, through the eXigen-
cies Of war, is obliged to place mill

men can have within it no worthy
place, no opportunity for their develop

Thousands Of them in Europe, as in
the United States have become so
thoroughly imbued with the idea that
the recognition Of the sacredness of
human life had at last become estab-
lished, throughout the world, that the
news of this war came to them as an
incredible shock. Women are entitled
in all justice to some consideration in
this matter Of war making, il only be-
cause they have necessarily been para

life which is now being so Iavishly
spent,

curately, and we have begun TO know
in America, how many children are
needlessly lost in the first years Of In

prevention Of infant mortality were
slowly spreading from one country to

tered to the winds by the war No
one Is now pretending TO count the
babies who are dying throughout the

GOVERNMENT MANUFACTURE
OF WAR MUNITIONS AS AN ISSUE

gans and the other trust stockholders,
some OF whom are men high in oftic-
ial life: "AlI right, gentlemen, you can
have a fleet Of battleships that viii
darken the sky, and fertilization that
will cumber the earth, but the govern
ment itself will manufacture all OF It's
own war paraphernalia in government
plants. But although you will not
draw down the fat muuition contracts
as heretofore, your patriotic desire TO
serve your country will not be slight
ed. The present tax on incomes In
excess Of $40, 600 annually will be I'M
mediately tTipled, which will give you
an opportunity to demonstrate the cal
ibre OF your patriotism by helping the
poor bear the burden Of the cost Of
the increased armament which you
advocate, and 80 per cent Of which agI-
tation comes from the rich. Of course
you gentlemen wil have nc Obje1a'n
to complete government manufacture
of war materials, because your only
interest and motive is the safeguard
ing Of your country from invasion by
a foreign foe, and so long as you get
the ships and the increased arma-
ment, and the country is saved, you
don't care where the ships and the
munitions came from"
There have been 10 official estimates
as &c the actual cost Of the mnufactlEe
Of a ton Of armor plate. The average
ESTIMATE is s238.64 a ton. Yet since
1887 we have purchased 217.3T9 tons
Of armor, raging the armor ring an
average Of $4,000 a ton, or total OF
Sg5, 856, gao. If all this armOr had been
ulanufact 1red in a government plant
it is entirely conservative to say that
at least $35. 100000 would have been
saved To tbs American taxpayers.
Another sample illustration: the
war department, in 1918, purchased
1000 Al inch shrapnel shells from the
ammunition ring, paying S25.26 each
therefore. At the same TINE precise
~ the same article was being manu-
featured in the government owned
Frankfort arsenal for $15.45
A hundred similar illustrations
could be given which would make plain
why IT is, that although We have been
spending $240,000,000 annually on our
army and navy, the claim can now be
made that we are "pitifully unpre-
pared and that eff war we're to break
out today it would be found that our
coast defenses have not sufficient am
munition for an hours fight"

Mrs. Gonigle leaned forward and
remarked in a subdued voice that she
had been asked 10 go to the hospital
where he had died and identify him
she was in doubt at first. but as she
looked the features seemed TO throw off
+ the death look and take on a lifelike
appearance. She would stake her life
on his being Parker.
Nathan Parker had left home sew
eraI days before to go to work at his
Erade-he was a plastereT-and had
not returned. He had complained OF
dizziness and was seen to stagger as he
walked down the street. Night came
and he did not return. His wife was
worried about him and fearful that he
had collapsed. She would have gone
to inquire Of his employer. but her
husband had told her that he was go
ing to do a Job on his own account
that day and unfortunately did not in
form her where it was.
That night was one Of great anxiety
to Mrs. Parker. She went TO the
grocery and called up every hospital in
town, asking If man Of the name Of
Parker was there They all replied
that they had no such person among
their patients. The next day passed
without bringing the missing mans
return. Mrs. Parker sent out q police
alarm, but nothing came Of It.
Then one day the missing mans son
concluded to go the rounds OF the hos
pitfalls in search of his father. At one
of them he found that a man had died
who had been taken in unconscious
and no name obtained. He had fallen
on a sidewalk, been picked up by po-
Hcemau and brought to the hospital in
an ambulance. He had died the day
before.

corpse, dreadfng to ind his father He

he went home and informed his moth

had given way to the first outbursts
of grief she asked John if he was sure
that the body he had seen was that
of his father. John said he was, but
there would be no harm in sending
some one else to identify it. Stephen
