Present School System
Must Be Modified to
Meet New Conditions
Bv THOMAS STOCKHAM BAKER,
Head Master OF Tome School,
Port Deposit, Md.

1T must be confessed that what
was adequate for the education
of children a generation ago
does not seem sufficient to meet the
needs of a greatly increased mixed
population, with new social and eco
nomic difficulties, -y,.@ To. 70
II LOOKS AS THOUGH IN TIME
1T WOULD BE NECESSARY TO
CREATE A LARGER NUMBER OF
SCHOOLS OF DIFFERENT TYPES.
For those boys and girls who wish
to enter the academic courses in the
more conservative colleges it may be
necessary to add elements in their
instruction which will not be fur
nished by the public schools. At
present the high schools are grow
ing in Importance, and possibly, in
the eyes Of the school administra-
tors, the colleges are decreasing in
Importance. IT REMAINS TO BE
SEEN HOW THIS GAP WILL BE
BRIDGED OVER.

appeal 10 the people to give him a
Candidate Hughes makes the usual
Republican House and Senate to carry
forward his new progressive plans.
We hope Mr.. Hughes will take occa-
sion to explain to the folks at his
first opportunity how he is going 10
run the Senate on progressive lines
if it should change its political COM
plexion.
That eminent Progressive, Senator
Gallinger, will be president pro TEN
and chairman of the committee on
rules. The forward-looking Penrose
will be chairman of the finance COM
mittee. His success as a tariff re-
former is illustrated in the Payne AL
drich bill, in framing which he took
an important part. That staunch de-
fender of the public treasury, Senator
Warren, will be chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations. Senator du-
Pont, of powder trust fame, will have
increased opportunities as chairman
of the committee on military affairs,
while Senator William Alden Smith,
who almost beat Henry Ford in the
campaign for presidential delegates in
Michigan, will be chairman of the COM
mittee on naval affairs. The extreme
conservationist, Senator Reed Smoot,
will control the public lands commit
tee, while Clarke, of Wyoming, will be
chairman of the judiciary committee,
to which will be referred all progress
sive measures for a decision as to
their constitutionality. Senator Nell
son, former chairman of the Ballinger
whitewashing committee, will be chair
man of the committee on currency.
All the important committees in the
Senate, except one, will be controlled
by the reactionary members of the
Old Guard, which sometimes surrend.

is no special need of worry. The
Senate will remain Democratic during
Woodrow Wilson's second term.

Frame a New Constitution.

All counties of the state are now 60
ing through the annual tax assess
ment spasm, and Grays Harbor county
is no exception. About the only DEM
onstrable fact that appears to be
brought to light is the fact that our
state, county and city governments
have grown by accretion to huge, eX-
pensive and unwieldy structures, with
out comprehensive planning that ap-
pears to call for readjustment all along
the line.
Both the leading political parties
have this year announced themselves
as favoring the framing of a new con-
stitution, which, the Herald believes,
is the only medium through which re-
lief may be obtained from the pres
ent ancient and decidedly unequal
method of securing government rev.
enue. OF course, the success of such
a movement depends solely upon the
makeup of the constitutional conven-
ton, but we have yet to hear a can
didate for the legislature give voice
to his views upon this very vital sub
ject.
If constitutional convention is to
be chosen on political party lines, and
to consist of large number of mem
bers, the chance for much betterment
will be remote AS this is a proper
matter for discussion, and for the pur-
pose of bringing on such discussion,
the Herald will suggest a convention
composed of 81 members, two to be
elected by the state at large and five
from each congressional district, upon
a non-partisan ballot. This number
could be paid salaries that would Sc
cure capable persons and still cost less
than more cumbersome body of
lighter mental calibre, and give the
state chance to get fundamental
law framed for modern conditions.

Mr.. Root and Currency Legislation,

In their search for material for use
in the campaign, let not the Repub-
lican managers overlook the speech
in OPPOSITION to the currency bill which
was made in the United States Senate
by Hon. Elihu Root, of New York.
The partisan press, when the speech
was delivered, heralded the utterances
of Mr.. Root as crushing argument"
against the currency measure. The
distinguished party leader declared
among other things that the bill, if
enacted, would bring complete dis
.aster unto the people of the United
States.
> "Ah, Mr., President said Mr.. Root,
1--WE are turning our faces away from
. the fundamental principle upon which
we have come to our high estate"
He also said: I'VE are turning them
(our faces) weakly towards practices
which history shows have invariably
led to decadence, to degradation, and
the downfall of nations. We are set
ting our steps now in the pathway
which, through the protection of a
paternal government brought the
mighty power of Rome to its fall"
Poor old Rome! How many thou
sands of arguments have even great
minded men, not charlatans necessari-
ly, culled from the Eternal City's his
tory of decadence to thwart beneficial
legislation which for selfish reasons
they have opposed!
Bnt there were men to answer the
Rome objection. The President OF
the United States was high in advo-
cacy of the proposed measure and
Democratic Senators were there to
resist and overthrow the arguments
of one of the most astute attorneys
of corporate interests and their de-
mands that ever was awarded a SEN
atorial toga.
Time too has in the meanwhile come
along and with the resistless logic of
the experience that it has permitted
the laws operations has proven to
the country and to the world that
those who advocated and enacted the
Federal Reserve law were wise in
their generation and statesmen in
their constructiveness.
Will Mr.. Hughes make the law one
Of his campaign issues? If so, will he
quote from the Senate speech of Mr..
Root to give form, substance and pith
to his denunciation?

We Need a Well Bal

Backboneof Dreadnaughts
By WILLIAM e. sIMONs. Writer
on Naval Subjects
THE pregnant lesson Of the re-
cent naval battle in the North

THE pregnant lesson Of the re-
cent naval battle in the North
sea is the imperative need of
dreadnaughts. We have some un-
surpassed units of the class in our
navy, but we need more. We have
no battle cruisers, and we need
some badly. But it would be IA
tai mistake to assume that we need
battle cruisers only. THAT CAN
PROCEED ONLY FROM A MIS-
CONCEPTION OF THE FUNC-
TIONS OF THAT CLASS OF
VESSEL.
That its fighting power under IA
voring conditions is formidable was
conclusively shown in the action off
the Falkland islands and later in
that on the Dogger bank.

SHOWN, AS NAVAL EXPERTS
