but will increase unless the American people shall face their duty and resolutely about systematic, democratic plan of universal physical training
 The Spokesman Review, commenting Mrs. Hen derson's rertarks, said
 It is just important that the industrial soldiers the men who labor in offices in stores in factories in mine, forest and fishery, the railroads and on the farms-should be built up physically. that the rela lively few men who serve in the regular army should be physically strong and well.
 Under the Swiss plan of training the start is made with the boy at school. His physical betterment is made science and corps of trained instruc tors look for his present health and future well fare
 As result of this preliminary physical training of the boy the Swiss youth is remarkably free from defects and diseases when he registers for his military training and relatively few rejected. Those who rejected are then given opportunity to over come their defects and take another examination year later.
 The strength of the principle of universal oblga tory training springs from the fact that it carries double and reciprocal obligatonthe obligation of the individual to defend the state, and the obligation of the foster the physical and moral welfare of the individual. Those who oppose or shrink from the application of that principle in this country either have given the subject scant consideration, fail to rise to their duty.

Educational Experiment Stations

National commissioner of education Dr. P. P Claxton taking leaf from the book of the depart ment of agriculture, favors establishment of edu- cational experiment stations. He believes that our educational system is efficient it ought be and all observing persons agree with him that respect But the application of common would tend to make it efficient rather than experiment. One of the of system has been experiment taton with half-baked theories promulgated by inn lead in all conferences of teachers The result has heen that have attained system at all. but are still gropng about after new methods which will abandon tomorrow for still The re- suit naturally is that every year witnesses lack of thoroughness than the preceding year.
 We should say, however in favor of Dr. Claxton's theory that it contemplaes systematic, experimental ton rather than the kind of experimentation which have had during the last twenty five years He says:
 For that end need educational experiment tions just have agricultural experiment tiOns, and the United States should establish and operate them If million dollars the dis posal of the National Bureau of Eduction I would select several good schools in various parts of the country that would try the experiments that seemed worth trying through a period of years. To spend government money on such an undertaking for short time would be the money without learning anything that could be depended upon It should through the administrations of several teachers eliminate from the result all accidents of personalities The would be entirely complete until the children experimented upon had grown up and shown the results of their schooling
 Hitherto experiments have been conducted in search for something Novelty alone has aimed at; just text books changed from year to year perhaps at longer intervals, be- cause the better. but because they new. We should say that the publishers who incite these changes have more sordid motive but we are not discussing the pubshers-but the teachers who are presumably without any other motive than the desire for novelty.
 Dr. Caxton's remarks to amount a the educational experience gained in the fifty years in American schools is of little value He apparently takes no heed of the fact that in educational experiment there certain be percentage of failures and that boys and girls will be the victims of such failures Public school experiments might produce useful results but they should be conducted within strict limits. To omit from the education of any American child a thorough drilling in certain essential subjects would te unwse and unfair. It is, of course desirable promote progress in developing educational methods. It is also desirable that boys and girls should not be made helpless demonstrators of doubtful theories.
 The ideal educational system is the product of a more less natural growth and of stated expert ments What is valuable in so-caed system and result of experiment but of by careful the faults and weaknesses they have discovered and have carefully substituted methods which common sense told them should be employed.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
 ID ARIZONA FARMERS

The first regular extension, or nov able, schools conducted by the Agri- cultural Extension Service of the Uni Versity of Arizona were held under the direction of the County Farm Advisors at Wilcox. Cochise County, June to 10: at Snowflake. Navajo County. June l5 to r. and at Eagar. Apache Coun-
 ty. June 19 to 21. Local arrangements for these schools were in charge of the local or county farm improvement associations. and all local expenses connected with the schools were de- frayed by them. Course tickets for the schools were sold. the proceeds from which defrayed the local expenses. While the attendance was not large in any case. the interest was intense and
 II was generally agreed that the next extension schools would be more large ly attended and the farmers voted them a great success In each case the school lasted three days and faculty Of five farm specialists gave practical, systematic instruction on farming mat ters. The principal purpose of the in- siruction given is to drive home the details of the plans of agricultural de- velopment which are being adopted by the county farm improvement associ

COOPERATION IN
 BUYING FUR FARM

The members of the several farm improvement associations in the vi- cinity of Wilcox have recently pur- chased carload of cement at q saving of S3O0 on the car. With this amount 30 pit silos will be con- structed under the direction of Farm Advisor Paschall. These silos will yield about 1900 tons of feed. of which, under ordinary conditions. 500 to 900 tons would have been wasted or imperfectly consumed by the animals. This feed will be worth at conservative estimate s7200 and can be used to feed about 600 head Of cattle with a value of s1S,00O. 1 Many of these cattle will be poor old cows which ordinarily would die off | during the winter for lack of feed and care. but under these conditions 1 will be enabled to drop a calf and 1 probably will he worth selling fos meat themselves If the farmers had | not been able to purchase this car l load of cement at the saving men 1 uone9. 1t is doubtful whether they would have bought any cement at all | in which case few. if any siIos would have been constructed with their con- | seGuent great saving What these silos will be worth to the farmer s ard business men of Wilcox over a period of years it is difficult to esti- mate. Many farmers will feed dairy cows instead of beef cattle and the putting in of the silos will doubt l.
 less mean the putting in of many
 more in subsequent years with the consequent larger feeding of bee. and dairy cattle. Not only will the
 feed be better utilized. but the ma
 nurc secured by keeping the cattle
 in corrals while being fed will help
 to enrich the soil and it should be
 understood that by means of the pit 1 siios feed produced in years of
 abundant rainfall can be held over

The statement is going the rounds of the press and is eagerly seized upon by those who think the country would be in such bad way in of war; that have 2l.OOOOOO of military age. But that has nothing whatever to with the number could raise for The record of recruiting of fees show that only man in five who presents himself for enlistment in the regular army is physi- cally qualified. Assuming that the applicants representative of the of of mili- tary age thus have available fighting force cut the to about 4OOO, 900. But it is evident that the applicants proportonately better fit than an equal number of the citizens who do apply, for among the latter all the crpples the nvads the blind and those who without examination that they physically disqualified.
