OPPOSE FADS IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

President Thomas II. McCcsker, Of
the Baltimore School Board deplores
the tendency toward fads and "isms'
in public education, and is a iirm be-
lever in the theory that the public
desires the children to be well ground
ed in the primary branches, such as
spelling, reading, writing, geography,
mathematics, English, grammar, his
tory, and the like, in preference to
some of the fads that are being graft
ed on public education all over the
country.

THE BIBLE
AND THE FLAG.

America is losing its patriotism, its
religion and its morality, and saliva
ton lies only in restoration of the
former-time reverence of the Bible
and flag, according to Rabbi Joseph
Krauskof. D. D., of Philadelphia,
who last night delivered the princi-
pal address in Eighth Street Temple
in Washington. at exercises in con-
nection with the celebration Of the
sixieth anniversary of the Washing
ton Hebrew Congregation.
"Like unto the Greeks of DID," said
the speaker, who took for his theme.
"Bible and Flag: Sheet Anchors Of
Our Nation" "We are forgetting the
source whence the founders Of our ma
ton drew the inspiration of their pa
triotism and forgetting it, We arc
losing our patriotism, and, losing
that, our politics are more and more
becoming corrupt, and our morals
more and more lax. We have grown
out of the habit Of looking back with
reverence to founders of our nation,
to their deep religious fervor, to their
exalted ideal of loyalty, to their rug
ged sense of right and honor. We need
a restoration of former-time rever-
ence of our Bible and our flag, for
they are the sheet-anchors of our ma
ton, the preservers of our moral
strength and physical powers"

CORK UPON THE
TROUBLED WATERS.

Henry Ford and the members of
his peace party left New York today
upon the Oscar II. indulging dreams
that the fierce goddess Bellona will
take her flight when the smoke from
his ship is deserted in the offing. The
attempts of the automobile builder to
bring about pacific conditions at this
time will be akin to those of the fam
Gus ~. NJ" who forty-nine years
ago was wont to address crowds from
the top Of Il dry goods box at King
and Pitt streets in Alexandria in eff
forts to unite the two great wings of
the country, at that time sadly divi-
ded. 81. n" saw no reason why there
should not be an immediate hugging
match between wearers of the blue
and the grey. But at that time some
of his audience were humming the
sonnet,
I'm good old rebel,
That's Just what ! am.
For this fair land Of freedom
do rot care d."
While Ford will be engaged in
his peace plan bands will
probably be discoursing "Tis a long,
long way to Tipperaly' and the
"Watch on the Rhine"
