The Immigrant and
the Public School.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

j. George Becht of Harrisburg, execu-
tive secretary of the Pennsylvania State
Board of Education, made some forcible
and sensible remarks the other day at a
meeting in Detroit of one of the depart
ments of the National Education Asso-
citation.
"Archaic" is what is called such meth
DDS as attempting to teach citizenship by
|memorizing preambes to constitutions,
reciting powers and duties of congress
and members of congress, and outlining,
in mechanical sense the functions of
departments of government. He urged
educators to discuss personally in the
most simple terms with their pupils the
fundamentals of citizenship. The value
of freedom, the value of the ballot, and
reasons why people who can vote should
understand what they are voting for
were the subjects he mentioned particu-
larly.
THE first decade of the present CEN
fury added nearly 100000 aliens to our
population" said Mr. Becht. To-day
every third person in the United Sattes
either is foreign-born or born of foreign
born parents. Three millions cannot
speak the English language and twice
as many more cannot read English. One
sixth of the population of the United
States directly or indirectly is influenced
by foreign conditions"
Americanism is, or course. the essen
tial thing for this incoming horde to
learn, il they are to be source Of
strength to their adopted country. But
|Americanism is learned by absorption.
not by committing to memory constitu-
|tions and bylaws.
The immigrants absorb their new en-
|vironment in measure, but it is their
children who become real Americans:
they become so through the public
schools.
1t is the public school alone that can
eliminate the hyphen.
And it is particularly the night school
that is of value to the immigrant and
his children. AS rule they have to
work hard during the day, and it is Of
the utmost Importance that night school
equipment should not be decreased. 1t
Is doing more to solve the immigration
problem than any other one agency.

The fact that the mind has 10 60

is one unsupported by most people.
But II has been clearly demonstrat-
ed by scientific research both in
this country and abroad.
Especially impressive are the re-
suits OF experiments made by an
American psychologist. DR.. Howard
d. Marsh. The object of these ex-
periments was to learn definitely
at what time OF day the working
power of men and women is at its
highest
The popular belief, OF course, is
that the maximum OF working efi-
cheney comes in the early morning
hours, when the mind has been re
freshed by sleep. But DR.. Marsh
found that in most instances this Is
not the case.
Experimenting on a number OF
people engaged in different occupa-
lions, he discovered that low
state OF oficiercy usually prevails
for some time after rising. az com.
pared with the efficiency evident an
hour or two before noon.
So marked was the contrast be-
tween the efficiency OF early and

himself driven to this conclusion:
Sleep imposes an inertness.

from adults on arising. This first
condition represents. as II were. an
adaptation Of the organism to noe.

some little time is required after
awakening to the exigencies Of &C
tive life.
"As the period prior to awaken
ing can be thought Of as one oil
dwindlins internal stimulation--of
passing sleep effect--so may the
subsequent period be considered as
one Of Increasing positive auto-stim
ulation-of growing awakeness."

which we have already improved.
Something prevents the use of
our rivers. Something is driving
commerce In general freight on the
Great Lakes themselves. The Mo
nongahela as river is open for
boat traffic to Fairmont, a factory
city in the midst OF district which
originates an enormous tonnage OF
heavy freight. But the water COM

There are dozens OF such In
stances. They are the rule in this
country. Why?
In Germany streams with only six
feet OF water carry enormous ton.
mage. In Germany the Mononga-
hela, the Mississippi, the Ohio, the
Dies Moines. the Tennessee would
serve commerce and enrich the ma
ton.
The American failure IL due to
two reasons. In my opinion. First.
our river, lake and canal ports have
few free docks provided with mod
ern machinery for the handling Of
freight. II costs more at Cincinnati
OF ST. Louis. for instance. on many
shipments to carry a package Of
freight down the stony levee. stow
II away In an antiquated steamer
, with overhanging decks. and re-
verse the process at destination.
than the freight and handling would
cost by rail.
Second. our laws are still dictat-
ed by the railways.
While that IL true we can never
make anything Of our inland water
ways.
The railways should be made TO
feed the waterways instead Of fight.
ing them.
They should not be allowed to
make rate wars upon them.
In Germany the railway Is not al
lowed TO make as low a rate as that
Of q competing waterway.
Our railways should be made to
bill freight by water whenever and
wherever II would be economically
wise. These are only q few hints
OF the things which must be done
II we are to develop our inland wa
terways.
Until they are done rivers and
harbors bills carrying moneys for
inland waterway Improvement are
pork.barrel bills. pure and simple.
The senate should trim the bill
remorselessly. N should be stripped
OF every item which Is not based on
present necessities. The future
should not be considered. until we
have solved the futures problem.
so long as the Improvement Of q

Still, if they start crusading for the

The game in st. Louis yesterday was

We asked a friend if he wasn't afraid
the bottom would fall out Of the sub
urban lot he bought. and he said he had
been down as far as a clothesline would
reach and didn't believe IL had one.
This is a confession.
There is a certain matter that is
bothering us.
We can't get it off our mind.
Because we haven't the price of new

All this changed by the natural evolution OF

fearful OF dire consequences
Suffrage is the political phase of this move
