One great trouble with us is our
wastefulness in our daily lives. in our
homes, in our business occupations.
We have never learned the lesson of
economy. Money comes easy with
us. and it flows out just as easily.
Where other people in other coun-
tries stop TO count the pennies. we
only count the dollars. If we as a
people could only acquire the habit
of Systematically slicing off a penny
here, another there. and keep it up
in every avenue of our existence. the

AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T.

1t was but a comparatively few
years ago when the whole country
was talking Of the "billion dollar
congress" Now two billion dol
lar congress" has just closed and but
little is heard Of the enormous expen-
ditures. From it would seem that
money is so plentiful in the United
States that even the colossal sum OF
two billion dollars is viewed with in
dinerence. AS matter OF fact,
money is plentiful in this country.
but 1t is not well proportioned as to
population. We are rapidly approach
ing the European status Of collecting
the wealth of the nation in the hands
of a comparatively few Of the people.
while the great mass are daily ap-
preaching nearer to a hand to mouth

1t is equally true that other classes of
working people, themselves quite nee
essary to the existence OF a we'll bal

to keep soul and body together. Some
day the congress of the United States
will have to enact eadjusting legis-

DISCIPLINE OVERLOOKED.

There is a theory abroad among ed
ucators that needs basic amendment,
if we are not to have a gene ration of
paths of slight resistance throughout
life in world where such do not ex-
list. The idea is that education in
the past has been too unnatural, too
much given to forcing children's
minds along harsh and difficult ways.
while too little given to considering
the children's own spontaneous i'm
pulses and interests. So the thing
to do is to make the process of edu-
cation lively, interesting and pleas
ing business. What it means to ac-
complish this magic in the average
schoolroom let the teachers tell you.
Anyway the dictum runs that any
subject truly useful in life can be
made interesting throughout. Any
subject than can not be made so is
ipso facto unfit and should be
thrown out-Latin. for instance. AS
spontaneous interest in child nature
leads. so much the educational pro-
cess follow, from kindergarten up.
No child ought ever to find anything
in his school work merely dull and
drudgelike. If so, then the method
is at fault or the teacher.
This sounds very enticing. 1t looks
we'll to many people, especially in this
day of domestic democracy, wherein
the children have a loud and effec-
tive voice in family government. 1T
has captured numerous educators and
dominates their thinking, if not their
procedure.
But it will not do. Following the
lead Of childish preferences, impulses
and spontaneous interests to a GER
tain degree may be sound enough.
but ii may very easily be overlooked.
II our lives never brought us face to
face with duties anything but "in-
teresting." never imposed sheer
drudgery upon us. never challenged
us with knotty problems to be solved
properly only by plain old-time hard
then possibly the new the
ory would work But the children of
today. we we'll know, are going to
run against endless things to do that
require disciplined will power and a
long ingrained habit of attacking and
overcoming the dullest. most pesky
forbidding sort of everyday problems
in life. What preparation for this is
it to ease them along in their young
days, let them side step drudgery in
studies, fill them full of the notion
that it is the worlds business to he
interesting in all it assigns them to
do?
1t takes power, grit. tough fibre
