SACRIFICING
THEIR COUNTRY

captured diary belonging to
German commanding officer on The
western battle front in France shows
that in the fighting of one week a
Ravarian reserve regiment which was
onnosed to the allies at Montauban'
suffered 5000 casualties out OF TO-
tai strength of $500 men.
Another document shows that one
battalion of the 190th regiment lost
$50 men out of LOO, while the other
two battalions of that regiment each
lost more than half their effective
strength.
While Germany is paying a terri
BILE cost for bringing on the present
war. the fact that not only those Oh
her people who are bearing arms, but
the stay at homes as we'll are dong
oil thew; can to encourage the army
in it's battles for the country Is ap-
parent.
The following extracts from: a let

spirit equal to anything manifested
by the Spartans of old:

FOR AN ISSUE

The Philadelphia Record propounas
certain questions and proceeds TO
answer them separately as follows:
What are the Republicans going to
make their great campaign issue :!
What will be the bugle blasts that
Pnssyfoot will emit in his letter of
acceptance that will arouse the wild
enthusiasm of the multitudinous of,
ficeseekers?
I National preparedness? In view OF
the great work of the Democratic
Congress in charging and reorgani-
zing the army and the navy and OF
making the National Guard an effec-
tive line of defense, it is difficult to
see how the G. o. P. could do more.
When Roosevelt was President he cut
the army down ruthlessly and did
little to improve the navy.
Mexico? Conditions along the Rio
Grande, which seem to be slowly adj
justing themselves, are direct herl-
tage from the Taft Administration:
They are better now than they were
in 1910, 1911, 1912, and the early part
of 1913 under Republican rule. Not
since the Madero rebellion has the
outlook for permanent peace been
better.
The tariff? Not even Senator Pen
rose raises this dead issue, killed by
the overwhelming Democratic pros
perity.
Belgium, the sinking of the Lusi-
tania and German aggression? Not
on your life. Since the Colonel ceased
to be a candidate these matters no
longer interest him, and ex-Justice
Hughes, supported by the German
American Alliance and afraid to Of
fend a possible supporter, fights shy
of them. They will be absolutely
ignored.
Amcricanism? Well, perhaps. But
what is Americanism? No party can
successfully make the claim that one
half of the people of this country are
patriotic and possessed of
al the virtues, while the other half, !
living side by side with them and
differing in no way in ca
,acity and public spirit, are a lot of
;lackers and degeneratcs. That IS
what the Republicans charge, but of
course, they do not believe in such
IN absurdity The fact that in three
ears and four months the Wilson
accomplished far more
n important constructive legislation
han the Republicans did in the 16
ears from March a, 1897, to March 4,
913 shows that the Democrats are
10 less industrious and efficient as
legislators and administrators than the
republicans.
What, then, will be the big issue?
Ssk George w. Perkins, who is run
ing the Hughes campaign much as
lie would manage merger of shoddy
Mills in one grand Trust. If George
would answer truthfully he would
ay:
eve want the Federal Offices and
he good old days of graft and spe-
:ial privilege again."
That is the G. o. P. issue, but we
10 not expect to see it stated with
such perfect frankness in the cam
,aign just opening.

1--WE have instructions to change our
hats or other attire as often as posi-
be- continued one of the "squatters.
"Yet in a city where thousands go and
come one of us girls could sit with a
purple duck with green wings on her
hat day after day and nobody would get
WISE"
There is no "squatters' union in New
York, it is said. But in Washington and
Los Angeles the "squatters" are fur
nished by men who make business OF
the thing, Just as the hat privileges are
governed in the big hotels.
Contract 'squatters' are not good
Ones" confided one of the bankers, after
he saw that the inquirer "had the goods
on him." as he termed it. "You see, we
have to be in personal touch with the
girls, and we sometimes have hard
time to keep them long. We cannot ad-
vertise for recruits, as our business is
sub rosa. Yet | see nothing unfair about
it. 1t is just the same as the padded
theatre audience or the free list at any
show.
1.-THE only time found that Squat
ters' were not henefting us was when
an upstate old lady and her hubby came
along one afternoon. We had two pretty
Jersey girls, then. Whether the trip or
the girls attracted the old gent, | don't
know. But he insisted on taking the
seat next to the girls and his better half
objected.

The Important Work of Wasting Time

the worlds eventual wonders. They went
hunting Holy Grails in perfectly disnterested
pilgrim fashion, and the stay-at-homes cap
italized the pilgrimages hundreds of years
afterward. Leibniz was interested in showing
what a fine little universe this was, and in
vented the calculus TO help him prove his
case. And the railroad curves that go far
toward connecting the various parts of this
fine little universe are TO be credited to this
non-partisan activity Of the eighteenth CEN
fury optimist.
Little coteries Of sincere searchers after
truth ought not to be held in disrepute, con-
sdering the contributions they have made to
the convenience Of modern apartment dwell
ers who swear off their taxes. There were
the sturdy souls including Robert Boyle who
used to get together in London every couple
of weeks to talk over some curious little sci
entifc stunts they had been trying in their
backyards or in their extemporaneous labora-
tories. They discussed with ardor such ting
lingly exciting matters air pressure and
vacuums and airbrakes and thermometers
Bottles that keep the outing coffee warm are
their apologies for the dull evenings.
Some of the big corporations in this coun-
try are learning little bit by the history of
scientific progress. They pay men real sal
aries for sitting in Laboratories foolng around
for ideas. Pretty SOFT" as the hard working
shipping clerk would put it. And still worse,
men are endowed to study equations of the
third degree, to spend pleasant evenings peek
ing through telescope at the points Of fire
that swim across the heavens. And the poor
brothers of the throttle have to battle the
precedents for an eight-hour day. But some
day we'll get sinking fund to give the gifted
few chance TO do nothing, to invent, for ex-
ample, table of logarithms. If we study
enough higher mathematics we may get other
things, like half-minute buttered toast

dental result of WOODY, ent-minded folks,
whose one vital worry was what made bits
of amber attract objects, why iron chung low
ingly to the lodestone.
The hard-headed business man who has no
use for folks who waste time, who has his
employees punch a time clock and pays his
notes on the dot ought to blush little to
think of the sort of people who have given him
his gifts of accuracy. Calico probably would
be discharged if he acted frequently the way
he did at church services one morning, when
his mind wandered up to the swinging pendu-
lum and discovered some of the facts which
make US depend on the pendulum clock. The
modern boys father, too, should know that he
might have gotten his dates mixed up if Jo-
ham Kepler hadn't been interested enough
in higher mathematics practically to write
time table of the heavens, based on mathe-
MATES which the owners of time clocks usu-
ally don't understand.
Some millionaire who wants to make re-
ally original endowment ought to remember
that the worlds important work has been
started by people who are ungody MASTERS
of time. Nobody who wanted to get any
where would spend lifetime investigating
the purely mathematical properties Of cleo
tricity and magnetism and worry about
aether, which nobody can prove exists. James
Clerk Maxwell was just such a wastrel, and
so Michael Faraday, who did nothing
more than observe what happened to coils of
copper wire when an electric current was
passed through them The electrically perco-
lated coffee ought to splutter a little in appre-
citation of the dynamos that immortalize the
pastime.
But these folks are hard-headed mail order
department heads compared with some Of the
wild goose chasers who are strewn through

1.-THE main lines along which the children de-
velop here are in their ability to solve prob
play together, in their concentration, their ex-
ercse of leadership, their self dependence and
their self-control. Their records along this
line from day to day prove that they acquire
these qualities, so essential to success in any
line. We have the opportunity to find the
strength or weakness of every child, and can
help him to develop the strength and overcome
the weakness and to make the most of his
native talents"
The method we are now following, Professor
Hill added, gives ample opportunity for tho
brightest children to move forward as fast as
they are able, without being held back for the
slower children; on the other hand, the slower
children do not lose out by being held up to p
level which they are unable to reach, as they
did under the old system where the children
were put into groups of anything between eigh'
or ten to thirty or forty.
an this new kind of work are all the condi-
tons for developing the moral and social Writ
ues, because children are helped to solve things
for themselves so far as they are able, rather
than depending always upon the judgment OF
the teacher to say what is right and wrong"
Professor Hill observed. "In the little Difficult
ties which arise in play as well as in life, they
are helped to find out what the trouble is, and
to create laws TO control the situation. In

trying to give the children wholesome liberty,
not limiting them to any system Of materials.
We have selected the largest and best of the
Froebel materials, the largest and best Of the
Montessori materials, gymnastic materials,
few wisely chosen toys and play materials and
the tools with which they may learn to fashion
their own toys"
These materials, Professor Hill sad were
always kept on low shelves where the children
could make their own choice Of them, and
very careful record was kept of every child, as
to what he chose and how he used it. Most Of
the things provided for children were more like
those found in life outside the school than the
Montessori materials. which are more like
those found in psychological laboratory.
when children are given the larger free
dom, they do not work alone to any large ex-
tent" Professor Hill commented. There arc
in our kindergarten rooms tables for one child,
tables for two children and tables for groups,
that they are at liberty TO work alone or
with others. The children fnd just as people
do in ordinary social life. that in order to find
their problem and to work out its solution
they must secure the cooperation of others. u
is an interesting fact that they usually work
gregariously, if not in full cooperation.
