Would Divide the Hours
Children Go to School

Discussing the question Of the age
at which children should enter the first
grade of elementary schools, before the
delegates to the congress primarily in
terested in educational problems, Mari
ano Pereira Nunez of Uruguay told the
delegates to the congress that he
thought six was the proper age, under
certain conditions. those being: First,
that during the first year the time
tables of the schools be reduced one
half: second. the division of the pupils
into groups. the older children being
placed in one and the younger cnIidren
in another. in such a manner that the
former may attend school during the
hours Of most inclement weather dur
ing each season, and the latter in the
hours when better weather Is likely
to prevail.
These regulations. it was stated.
should be adopted in the urban schools
and those in the country nearest to
towns or cities. In tho other rural
schools. 1t was pointed out, the young
est children must be accompanied by
the older ones to and from school.

Children in Country Learn
Quicker Than Those in City

The task of educating the children Of
the city is more difficult than in the case
of the children in the country, because
the latter live in direct contact with the
things and the human activities that
make life possible. The city cuts off and
greatly distorts the childrens view of
these elemental relations The city schools
must provide an artificial environment to
enable the child to know these relations,
ard, in addition, it must teach all the
lessons that the best country school
teaches These views were expressed by
Dr. Ernest C. Moore of Harvard Uni
versity, in paper on Education of the
City Child at a meeting of the educa-
tional section of the congress today

of law. The law that governs and directs

Desert Southwest Lands
Once Scene of Cultivation,
Says Rev. Antonio Galan

Desert lands of the southwest were
inhabited by tribes which engaged eX-
tensively in agriculture, although cul-
tivation of the soil now is impossible,
according to paper read this morn
ing by Rev. Antonio Galan. S. j., of
Woodstock College. Woodstock, Md,
at section of the Pan American Con-
gress, on astronomy, meteorology and
seismology, meeting at the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, 18th and
streets northwest.
THE Investigations made of the de-
velopment of trees will indicate not
only that there existed notable climatic
variations in historic times. but also
that these variations were in the ma
ture of pulsations.' he said.
This leads to the belief that the
cause of these fluctuations must be
sought in the displacement of the great
climatic zones Of the earth. In his
toric times climatic variations were
probably of the same character as
those of the glacial period. Regions
which are passing through a similar
period are those of permanent high
pressure. According to this a part of
the United States might be under the
influence of an area of high pressure

Wants b. S. to Aid Students
in Selecting Dental College

Addressing the educational section of
the Pan-American Congress today, DR..
Felipe Gallegos deplored the fact that
in many Central and South American
countries dentistry is not taught. He
added that it is practiced sometimes in
those countries by graduates of Amer
lean schools. who are by no means
trustworthy. - He thought that some
plan should be devised whereby the
American Association of Dental Facul-,
ties. through the State Department,
would notify the Central and South
American countries. as wei! as the gov
ernments of Mexico and Cuba, what
dental colleges it considered reputable.
DR.. Gallegos thought this would be of
help to the Latin American student in
choosing his college.

stiles must play in this new movement
is important and not altogether clear
as to procedure. The state authorities,
he added, ars not fully in sympathy
with such a'move, consequently the
university must build up "A background
of opinion through extension lectures
and classroom instruction, from which
will proceed two results: First, a con-
stantly. enlarging public opinion, and,
second, a growing group of young men
looking for opportunities in the new
field of professionalism government
without doubt much can be done by
the frank cooperation of the univer-
stiles through the offer of services"
said DR.. McVey. Then, by their very
usefulness, the opening will come for
the field work to supplement the class
room teaching"

Pan-America Is Advised
to Conserve Forest Wealth

in order to stop the enormous waste
in forest products now going on in
tropical America, George P. Ahearn,
formerly director of the Philippine bu-
reau of forestry, told South American
scientists at the pan American section
on conservation today that the govern
mentS should educate young men to
take up the work of conservation. He
declared that many southern republics
had made marked advances in science,
but had neglected to conserve the enor-
nous forest wealth within their bor-
ders. and that there is an annual waste
totaling millions of dollars.

Use of the Library to Promote
High Ideals in Government
Is Theme of Miss Stearns

Some Of the ways in which the library
may help promote the highest ideas as
we'll as ideals in democratic govern
ment and citizenship were described by
Miss Lutte E. Stearns of Milwaukee.
Wis. at meeting of delegates inter-
ested in educational problems today. OF
all occupations for women. she said.
there is none richer in opportunity and
fulfllment than that of the librarian.
"The mission of the modern libra
rian," she continued, 'is to bring to all
the people the books that belong to
them. The old mission of the librarian
was to preserve and conserve Itera-
ture.
THE modern librarian adopts many
devices with which to interest the
young, such as the story hour. Books
by the thousand are sent to the schools
to supplement the work of the various
grades.
Work Of Greatest Importance"
The work with the foreign children
is considered of the greatest impor-
tance by the modern librarian, who
make every effort to acquaint these
children with American ideas. The old
er foreigners are not neglected. Classes
are held at which lessons are given in
English for beginners, and books loan
ed for private study. Mems clubs are
organized for discussion of the civic
problems of the day. Legislative ref
erence departments supply lawmakers
with necessary material. while munich
pal reference libraries furnish material
for the study of important phases OF
civics. The wants Of the individual in
every community, Of every occupation
and profession, are respected.
IN its attempt to reach the people
the library should be regarded as one
OF the most democratic Of institutions"

j. S. CAN HOLD TRADE
Of SOUTH AMERICA
Investors of This Country May Keep
It From Europe, Says
G.. E. Roberts.

Whether the foreign trade of South
America reverts to European markets
after the war will depend largely upon
the interest shown now by America n
investors. said George Z. Roberts of
the National City Bank of New York,
| in paper he read today before sub
division of the Pan-American Scientific
Congress. He said that for the last six
a onths South American countries had
imported more heavily from the United
States.
THE exports of South America have
not fallen off as much as the imports"
he added, "and are coming more large
ly to the United States than hereto
fore. This applies particularly to cof-
fee, cocoa, hides and WOOL.
Mr.. Roberts explained that the f1nan-
cial crisis in a number of the South
American countries at the time the
European war began was largely re-
sponsible for the difficulties of busi-
ness men in those countries. The war
prevented them from receiving the
financial assistance they perhaps would
have received, especially in Argentina
and Brazil.
Curtailment of Credits.
But, as it was" he said. "all the
countries of South America suffered by
the curtailment of credits to which they
were accustomed, the interruption of
regular trade and the stoppage of con-
struction work. Importations have been
largely reduced in all Zines"
The marketing of the crop of 1914
1915 of Argentine and Uruguay, he said,
had brought an improvement in condi-
tions there owing to heavy demand for
those products and increased prices.
and said that the increased demand for
nitrate had revived trade with Chile.
THE trade with Germany practically
has ceased" said Mr.. Roberts, "and inn
portation from all countries except the
United States have been largely re-
duced.
1T cannot be said that any revolution
is being worked in South American
trade, but it is probable that a fair
share of the new trade diverted to this
country by the war will be permanent.
Much depends upon the interest taken
by the United States in the develop
ment of South American enterprises.
Trade will be created. by investments in
South America. If II be not available
and Great Britain and the countries Of
Europe after the war are able, to re-
sumo their investments in South Amer
| lea, trade relations probably will be
about as they have been before"

APPLIES TO MERCHANT AS

town, what in thunder will become
of Our town." asked North Geor-
gia citizen the other day discussing
the alue of of the keep your money

He argued that if man lives in, a
small town and gets his living there
he ought to patronize the stores OF
that town rather than go off to some
larger town or city every time he
wants to buy a new shirt. Probably
there isn't town or city either, any
where which would deny the truth Of

Why Do Plants Grow ErectP

Exactly why trees and other
plants grow erect has never as yet
been definitely determined. Some
of the scientists have given it as
their opinion that the phenomenon
of erect growth was and is in some
manner related to the action of
light. That this hypothesis is I'M
tenable was proved by DR.. Maxwell
s. Masters of England, who found
that sprouts on green posts thou
sands of feet underground in the
mines always assume the erect atti-
tude.
