Ptolemeus issued annual almanacs, In which

This process OF cooling of the surface and

Where Preparedness Begins.
az Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915, by Frank Cranel

Where shall true preparedness begin?
Where shall any desirable condition
begin, whether of an individual or
nation?
Answer: In the heart. In the mind.
Except we be converted we cannot
become anything, achieve anything, see
anything.
The alarming unpreparedness OF
America today is that of her mind
1t is not ships and cannon and SOL
diers she needs, 50 much as right ideas.
What is the best preparedness in the
world, not only against war, but against
any injustice, misfortune, or disaster?
Answer: The old, primal virtues.
They are justice, sef-control, vision,
faith in map, and helpfulness
These, and these only, have made the
heroes of the world, supreme in crises,
incapable of defeat
Let Us be just. First of all to the
Orient. We do not want unrestricted
immigration. But we do not need to
humilate the Chinese and Japanese by
invldlouS discrimination.
Establish one just rule: that only such
and so many persons shall come to dwell
among Us as can be Amercanized. APP
ply that rule to all nations, to English,
Italians, Hindu, as well as to Japanese.
Then you will be prepared against Jap
anese hostility better than by hundred
dreadnaughtS. For you will be prepared
by justice, 10y right, by fair and square
dealing.
Prepare against Europe by helpful
ness. Set aside a fund of one billion dol
lars right now wherewith to help the
stricken after the war.
The Voc want, and human misery Of
this war are staggering. After the war
Europe will lie bleeding and weak. Think
Of the manned soldiers, the widows and
orphans, the ruined shops and desolate
fields
Are we like inhuman ghouls, to pre-
pare 10 snatch all the trade away from
them, to fatten on their plight? This
monstrous course is openly advocated.
Now they say, is the time to capture
South American business, TO beat Ger
many, France, and England in the world
markets.
We have made billions selling NUM-
tions to the poor devils lined in the
medieval madness of war; why not set
aside some of our stupendous gains to
help them?
Why not help Mexico instead Of cry
ing out to punish her?
Why not prepare to cooperate with
the world, and not to be ready to fight
the world?
In the present state of world anarchy
We doubtless need an efficient army and
navy. Let us prepare them by all
means. But soberly, silently, as a sad
duty.
But we don't need parades and fiery
speeches to work up bellicosity among
US. God knows the world has enough of
that.
Americanism does not mean pugnac-
ity, the spirit of turbulence. Ameri-
canism means union, fellowship, the
courage to be patient and forbearing.
Americanism means equal justice to
ALTO Negroes, Japanese, Chinese, as
well as to the Germans and English.
Our best preparedness is sympathy,
largeness of heart, the gentleness that
goes with the consciousness of great
strength.
Make way for peace with honorl
Cast We up the highway of justice,
and gather up the stones Of race preju-
dice, national vanity, fatuous boastful-
ness, greed, inhumanity, and unfair
ness.
Prepare! But prepare your heartsl

1t Was Just Like This In
the Days On the Board
of Peanut Politicians

The attempt of School Inspector
Arthur Gordon to have the board ignore
Superintendent Chadsey and reinstate a
teacher whose dismissal the superintend-
ent had recommended, was met in the
board meeting by the charge of poll
tics" and by this very pat question from
Inspector Neinas:
us THIS MATTER OF THE COM
PETENCY OF TEACHERS WE HAVE
IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS GOING
TO DEPEND ON THE FOOT WORK
THEY DO IN GETTING ABOUT TO
SEE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION AND ORGANIZING Pc
LITICAL PULL?"
In our opinion, and, we believe, in the
opinion Of all citizens who have the in
terest of Detroit's schools at heart, the
very future of education in Detroit, anc
the very future of Detroit. depends upon
an answer to Inspector Neinas' question.
Superintendent Chadsey recently sug
gested that three teachers be dropped
from the staff for incompetency.
He was seconded in his suggestion by
three assistant superintendent.
Two Of these teachers took their dis
missals without protest, but the third be-
gan campaign, Immediately, to get her
se!f reinstated, and appears to have been
successful in playing her political game
suggesting nothing to those who are
familiar With board of education history
but a threatened return of this depart
ment to the deplorable conditions under
Martindaleism.
The matter of the TEACHER in the
school is vital
No matter how many schools we build
or how costly the schools we build, all
the money and effort expended will be
waste unless due pains are taken to see
that the TEACHERS are efficient.
The whole question of our educational
standard hinges upon that point
We place the responsibility, of course,
upon the superintendent.
We look to him to be the Judge of COM
b petence in teachers.
The board of education must look to
him to be the judge, and MUST accept
his recommendations.
4 But in the case of the teacher whose
cause Inspector. Gordon has taken it up
on himself to champion, the superintend-
ent has been both ignored and insulted,
In his position.
The thing savors too much Of the pea
nut days of petty politics in this very
department, to have healthy look.
We housecleaned in this department
once, pretty thoroughly.
Another housekeeping may be neces-
sary.
