Schools and Preparedness

ITHERE must be more to preparedness than
4 armament. So, at least, some Of Our leading
educators maintain Woicing their opinion, Sig
mund Mendelsohn writes about National Pre-
pafedness and School Efficiency in the Educa-
tional Review. There he directs attention to the
TACT thatNm New York the school year consists
of $50 hours while in Berlin the school year con-
sists of 1850 hours. This means, obviously, that
if school efficiency in Berlin and New York is
equal and the students in one place as apt as those
in the other, the Berlin boy girl Of sixteen is
as far advanced, has received as much school
instruction, as the New York boy or girl Of
eighteen. sss ,.., All. ,., ~ "a.
y The importance attaching to this is all the
greater when it is remembered that most of our
public school pupils cease their studies at sixteen,
says the indianapolis News. And leaving school,
they seek employment only to raise the cry among
employers that they are inefficient This is an
indictment Of the public school system, which,
business men say, turns out its products unsatis-
factorily trained, without power of application
and deficient in discipline, Mr.. Mendelsohn for
tilted in his opinion byayears of experience and
investigation in the Educational Alliance, insists
that national preparedness can never be complete
until the system is made more efficient. .,
The public is by no means unfamiliar with the
contention that the American school year is too
short Men competent to judge believe as Mr..
Mendel ohm believes. Opposed to them, natural
ly, are the men and women who make up the
great army of American teachers They declare
that they could not endure either longer school
day or longer school year But it has not been
contcnded that they would be expected to add to
their hours oilabor without considerable change
i'll the conditions under which their labor is per-
formed. They would have, for one thing, fewer
pupils to teach =. ..r .r.... ~ -t..

Value Of Home SUGAR

IpTHE people of the United States, says Facts
= About Sugar, consume over $4,000 long
tons Of sugar annually The nations sugar bill
amounts to over 1875 100000 OF this vast amount
|S207,oooooo goes to pay for sugar grown in for
eign lands. The nation sends in actual gold or
Its equivalent over $1oo,Oooooo yearly to foreign
pended in the employment of home labor and the
development Of home industry.
Statistics show that during 1914 only As per cent
|of the total sugar consumption was supplied by
home grown sugar. The question naturally arises,
How may we produce all our sugar at home and
become independent of foreign countries for one
of our leading and most important articles of food
A survey of our sugar producing resources re-
veals the fact that the possibility Of charging home
production TO satisfy home demand depends large
ly upon the development of the beet sugar branch
of the domestic sugar industry. In other words
the beet sugar industry of the United States must
produce approximately 100000 long tons Of sugar
annually If the United States would be independ-
ent Of. foreign countries for the article.
Last year sixty beet sugar factories were in
operation in the United States. To produce the
100000 tons of sugar would require
the erection of $50 beet sugar factories To supply
these factories with beets would necessitate the
cultivation of q 100000 acres of land in beets and
if due allowance for rotation Of crops be made,
100000 acres would be required The beets pro-
duced annually from this area would amount to
Approximately Is 100000 TONS for which the farm
ers of the country would receive $l25,OoO,OO0 or
more. The extraction and refining Of the sugar
would require approximately 100000 tons of
coal, l93950 tons of coke and 2ol7,550 tons of
limestone. The total cost of these items alone
would amount to almost $150O0000 all of which
would add TO the prosperity of other American
industries. Almost $l6OooOO0 would be distrib-
uted to the railroads OF the country, and $l8
100000 would be distributed for general supplies

floods in Illinois, so far from subsiding
after week of almost daily increase,
are now worse than ever, and have
become a serious menace. ..<. d.
The Illinois river is rising fast,
swollen by the recent rains, and the resi-.

panic, many of them being forced. 20
leave behind most Of their personal
possessions. Hundreds have been res,
cued from their homes by patrol par

houses. The levees that protect the
low bottom lands are broken in many
places. q si@s,. q. y
The inundation of farms, villages
and small towns is causing enormous
damage to property, and there is a
great loss in livestock of various kinds.
One of the most serious of the in
