AMER|CA'S FINAL WORD
 TO GERMANY

| offenSe..
 In view of the admission of illegality made by the Imperial government when it pleaded the right of retaliation in defense of its acts and in view of the manifest possibility of conforming to the established rules of naval warfare, the government of the United States cannot believe that the Imperial gov ernment will longer refrain from dis avowing the wanton act of it's naval commander in sinking the Lusitania or from offering reparation for the American lives lost so far as repara- tion can be made for a needless de- struction of human life by an illegal act
 The government of the United States , while not indifferent to the friendly spirit in which 1t is made, cannot accept government that certain vessels be designated and agreed upon which shall be free on the seas now illegally prescribed The very agreement would. by implication. subject other vessels to illegal attack and would be a cur taiment and therefore an abandonment of the principles for which this gov ernment contends and which in times of calmer counsel every nation would concede as of course.
 The government of the United States and the Imperial German government ject, have long stood together in urg ing the very principles upon which the government of the United States now so solemnly insists. They are both contending for the freedom of the seas The government of the United States will continue to contend for that free dom from whatever quarter violated, without compromise and at any cost. It invites the practical cooperation of the Imperial German government at this time when cooperation may, ac- complish most and this great common object be most strikingly and effective ly achieved.
 The Imperial German government expresses the hope that this object may be in some measure accomplished even before the present war ends It can be. The government of the United states not only feels obligated to in sist upon it, by whomsoever violated or ignored, and in the protection of its citizens. but is also deeply interested in seeing it made practicable between the belligerents themselves, and holds | itself ready at any time to act as the common friend who may be privileged to suggest a way. Tn the meantime tho very value which this government sets upon the long and unbroken friendship between the people and gov ernment of the United States and the people and government of the German nation impels it to impress very solem- nly upon the Imperial German govern ment the necessity for a serupulous observance of neutral rights in this critical matter Friendshipitselfpr prompts it to say to the Imperial government that repetition by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in con- travention of those rights must be re- garded by the government of the United States when they affect Ameri- can citizens as deliberately unfriendly.

FISH ATE HER FINGER

The cannibal fish, or man-eating fish, is on the rampage again in South America and has just bitten off the fin ger from the right hand of Dr. Emile Snethlage, the woman director of zo- ology of the Goeldi museum, Para Members of Col. Roosevelt's South American expedition passed through Para. While there they visited the Goeldi museum and saw a collection of Amazonian fauna formed by Dr. Sneth- lage.
 Soon after the departure of Col. Roosevelt and party Dr. Snethlage started out on an expedition to the un- explored country of the upper Xingu. She was absent for about seven months. Within a month after leaving Para, she says, she was attacked by a South America, which took off at one bite the middle finger of her right hand.
 Col Roosevelt described this fish in @ lecture before the members of the American Museum of Natural History last December. He told of a boy who went in swimming and was attacked in midstream. Before relief could be sent to him the boy was not only killed, but half eaten.

country there is very little need for the
quickening OF ideals, but in America
such quickening Of ideals Is the secret
of~our glory and the destiny Of our
future. Yet even in the old countries
there exist two types Of education
practical, for the children of the poor
and the artisans. and ella ssical. for the
education of the professional and
higher classes. We shall likely come
to some such arrangement in this coun-
try. but, as between the vocational
school only and the classical school
only. there can be but one choice for

not but yield us the best results In
terms Of life and in point of practical

nnrrows and belittles man, but that
broadens and uplifts and exalts him.
II. MENTAL POWER.
There can be no more inviting claim
set forth for educations necessity
than that 1t generates mental power.
for ii is to mental power that we must
look rs to the source of human prog
ress From his eyes down no man is
worth more than $3.50 n day. But he
who is thoroughly developed from his
eyes up may command salary mount
ing up to startling proportions. Men,
tai power-that is the difference, and
that is the sort of power we have the
right to expect from our educational
system.
POWER AND SKILL
We have the right to inquire of any
institution offering us its services or
seeking our support what 1t can do in
the matter of generating mental pow
CT. Does it propose to take the unde-
reloped human being and TO make
him into man remarkable for his
mental grasp? If so, il is entitled to
our respect, and should have our sup
port. If it merely proposes to train
him more deftly and skilfully as an
animal, with little or no attention to
mental power, then we should look
elsewhere for education. There is a
vital difference between skill and pow
er. Skill enables us to utilize power;

But ITS INSISTENCE SHOULD DE
ON MAN, NOT on PRACTICAL
In our insistence on practical educa-
ton we should put the emphasis on
education. which is another name for
man development rather than on prac-
teal. Man is the most important ele
ment in education, not practicality. You
can never make a tirst-rate lawyer out
OF man God has set aside to till the
soil. and the best way to mako Of him
the most efficient farmer possible is to
give him acquaintance with life in the
large as well as with the practical.
technical training required OF the farm
er. The best man is your broad, catho-
lie. sympathetic man. and this holds
true whether he be G farmer. a me-
chanic or n profcs sional man. and this
type of man, the man who makes his
living and at the same time lives his
life, this type of man will help forward
the life of every man who feels the
impulse of his energy or even remotely
is touched by his influence.
WE MUST NOT CONVERT OUR
SCHOOLS INTO APPRENTICE SHOPS
The narrow specialist. the man who
has confined himself to one thing TO
the exclusion of everything else, who
has seen in education only practical
information and in life only his own
voca tion--that man may make his mil
lions. may stand at the top of his pro-
fession. but his own life will be poor
in the elements that really make living
worth while. poor in the things that
elevate human life above mere animal
existence and brings it. close to God.
This is not decrying success. This is
not decryinG material success. 1t is
pleading for man as the master OF ma
terialism as against man enslaved to
his own acquisitions. And it is 4 plea
that needs TO be made. Shortest c ted

popularity are cnunciating in catch
ing phrases of the gospel of mammon,
and the mammonites arc saying amen

our schools all hut practical studies,
and they would introduce vocational

would convert our schools into appren-

Our apprentice shops will enable us to

But if our schools become apprentice

OLD COUNTRIES ARE NO SAFE

and practical education as the only
worthy aim OF our educational system
do not help their case when they cite
the examples of foreign countries as

that life in those countries is cast in
certain mohlds, and that there is very
little. If any, transference from one
