LOndon's Books Were
Full of Flaws, But
Their Charm Endures

Jack London, one Of the most conspicu-
Gus products Of the 20th century IN The
American literary and journalistic word,
has been snatched away by the indis-
criminate hand Of death in the midst OF
his virile prime Of life
great writer he was not. A great
story teller, perhaps. The public thought
DO at any rate, for his books have been
among the "best sellers" for the last
fifteen years and new one has been her
aided with much comment by publishers,
readers and bookmen.
But whereas Jack London is known
primarily as an author. it is London as a
human being with whom We are espe-
cially concerned.
He typihes the virile strength, the ata-
xstic tendency of western America
It was natural that such man would
call himself socialist. He saw the gross
errors Of civilization; the results In pow
erty, sickness and misery. He looked
about for a remedy and saw none, save
In that ever changing, broadening or mar
rowing, conception of government which
Il meant for the good of all the people
but which can easily become cramping
system unless the people, themselves, are
noble and big.
Jack London Is not known as re-
former. His literary reputation would
have been far less had he sought to teach
IN thru his books. But he did see life
as 1t Is. In the phases which he chose to
depict, most elemental and vital which
his surging, restless mind could grasp.
He wrote this down in plainest words
and we have read and been impressed.
II takes some genius to impress al
actual picture upon the human adult
mind and this is what Jack London did,
and In so doing placed himself above the
crowd and in the rarer group Of the
elect.
One could easily pick his books TO
pieces. One could find flaws in him as g
man. But he was essentially alive and
real He gave over TO us a part Of his
srnsxing vitality and for this boon we
surely must be forever grateful. For we,
most Of US, live in a world of automatic
creatures, who run in the groove into
which they were born, accepting, toiling
or shirking, with never a protest nor an
Illuminating thought, until the machinery
wears out with time and they are laid
away; their little tasks being done by
others Of their kind.

Home Study
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)


There is quite to-do at he present
time over the eight-hour day. The Pres
ldent of the United States has gone so
far as to declare that it is natural and
inaienabe right.
Very well. But what about the most
important element Of the community?
Ii eight. hours a day is enough for adults,
why not enough for boys and girls?
The present system of "home study"
in vogue among many schools is wrong.
1t is pelagogically unscientifc it is eco
nomicaly mistake, and it is morally
harbarous
When a child gets through his school
hours he ought to be through work for
the day. II grown man should labor
no more than eight hours, why should
not growing boy or girl have the same
right?
| know studious lad, not quick nor
.fashy, but sincere in his desire to keep
up with his classes, who tolls away at
his books all evening. often not getting
to bed until near midnight. He is not
stupid He is honest
The old notion is that a teacher is a
lesson-giving. question-asnng, order
keeping machine, also detective prose
cutting attorney, policeman, and in loco
PARENTS.
II Is about time teachers realized that
their business is, on the contrary, CD
to inspire children with the love of study,
and (2) to show them how 10 study.
At home conditions are usually unfa-
yorable for mental concentration. The
distractions of family life are too much
for father; he thinks out his problems at
the office. Much more so for the child.
At home the child often does not study,
or he wastes energy in wrong methods,
or he soldiers along putting in the time
and accomplishing little, or he gets help
Of the wrong kind or too much Of the
right kind. It's bad any way you look
at it,
The place to study is in school The
child needs the teachers help in his
work. Also he needs tho school room
atmosphere.
When he gets out of school he ought
TO play lie needs that, and he needs the
family life quite as much as his books.
he also needs a chance to 90 TO parties,
or to lectures, or concerts, or the theater,
or 20 dance and sing.
William Wiener principal Of the New
ark High School had forceful article
against home study in the School Re-
view, and is managing mis- eleven hundred
pupils most successfully upon the plan
Of dividing the school hours between
recitation and study.
The Lincoln High School in Seattle has
recently adopted the same program.
Other schools are working toward the
same desired end, which is 'to emanci-
pate the conscientious child from the aw-
ful burden of home study
The boys and girls will probably not
go on a strike, nor attempt to intimidate
congress, nor adopt the other effective
methods Of theiF fathers, but they ought
10 have square deal just the same.

HYPOCRISY" FULL
 r0F F0RCEFUL SLAMS
Fox Feature, with Virginia Pearson, Is Great Lesson
 in Everyday Life.

Society comes in for its share of muck raking" in the William Fox photodrama, Hypocrisy" which plays again today at the Royal and starring Virginia Pearson, that noted stage and screen southern beauty. Her part is that of a young society woman. through whose fondness for gambling falls into the pitfalls of so-called high society.
 She has two lovers, parts taken by Alfred Swenson and John Webb Dil- lon, one of whom she marries. only to continue to receive attentions from f''e other The rejected lover natural ly develops into a william, and the society woman's love of bridge lets her fall into his hands through a gambling debt.
 But she is saved in good time by her husband and the realization in her own conscience of the shams, bluffs and hypocrisies of society. The picture play has it's many situations, only found in Fox films, and alto gether is a drama of sound moral and artistic merit The Fox features. here after, will be shown for the uniform price of 10 and 15 cents.

DON LUIS RESIDENTS WRATHY OVER TRAFFIC
 VIOLATIONS IN TOWN
People of Suburb Declare Safety of Children Is Jeop- ardized by Reckless Driving Through Community.

More complaint and of a character that is liable to result in some definite action being taken, with or without the aid of the county officials, is com ing from Don Luis regarding the will full violations of the traffic laws through that town.
 The people of Don Luis, some time ago. complained to the board of super visors of the traffic conditions. At that time the board promised to have signs made and put through the town warning the traffic. So far this has not been accomplished, according to the people living there. The people of the community declare that the presence of an officer is nearly es- sential for the protection of life and limb from reckless drivers.
 Only yesterday some motorist. mak- ing from thirty-five to fifty miles an hour through Don Luis, ran over and killed a collie dog belonging to Wm. Gallagher, who lives within a short distance of the school building Gal lagher points out that it might just as well have been a small child to meet with the accident.
 'The people of Don Luis are up in arms" declared another resident of the town a couple of days ago" It would appear that we are perfectly helpless. We try to get numbers and prosecute for violations of the speed laws but most of us have other work which must be attended to. It would appear only juts that the county should give us some protection along this line
 "The automobile traffic through Don Luis is increasing all the time. Moreover, it seems that, once the city limits of Bisbee and past Lowell, the drivers open their mufflers and try to make up for the time lost in Bisbee and Lowell. This condition is very dangerous. When our school opens the danger will be multiplied and some thing must be done to alleviate it.
