Notice to M. H. S. Pupils

Two ten-gallon water kegs will
be used to furnish pupils water.
1t will be absolutely necessary
for pupils to have drinking cups
before they can secure water.
So many contagious and infec-
tious diseases are prevalent now
adays, SO conditions of environ
ment are represented by the
child-life assembled at a public
school building, it becomes abso-
lutely compulsory that every pre-
caution be exercised to preserve
the good health of the children.
Have your child bring an individ-
ual drinking cup, and advise HIM
before he leaves home against
the dangers of using the cups be-
longing to other children.

they were right. They possess in
Venizelos the one real, illuminated

to that Of Cavour. Americans know
Cavour little; but the statesman of

THE GRIP OF THE BLOOD

Nineteen years ago Admiral Peary
brought back from Greenland an Es-
kimo boy of six years, son of the
his race. The child was kept in the
States twelve years, educated, and
trained. He returned seven years
ago to his people, to find that he had
forgotten almost every word of the
language. He had lived in and
around New York, was a pretty
thoroughly sophisticated young man,
had been petted a bit, and might
easily have been spoiled; yet it was
his own wish and purpose to 20 back
to his people.
Again he is back in the United
States, after his seven months in the
north. He arrived yesterday on a
Newfoundland boat, having been
brought back by the Mcmillan
Croker Land expedition.
"Was / satisfied with the crude
life there?" he echoed. when inter-
viewed. ayes and no. The climate
suited me and my health was bet
ter there than here. But the hard,
dreary life of the people and the con-
ditions under which they live is very
monotonous to one who knows of the
high state of civilization here. !
could have been happy there but for
this. There were times, and / still
have the impression, that it would
have been better had / never been
brought to civilization and edu-
Gated"
We have at times wondered, in the
last two years, what must be the
mysterious power that holds men to
their loyalty to native land and ma
tive race; that makes them willing
to suffer and die for such sentimental
attachments. Yet listening to Meme
Keshoo, Eskimo by choice as we'll as
race, there is greater wonder. If il
Is marvellous that some men should
be willing to die for their race, It il
yet stranger that such as he should
be willing to live for it.
That is what Meme intends to do.
He has taught English to some of
his tribesmen; he intends to take
back to them many means for inn
proving their hard conditions of life,
It is an impressive lesson in the
devotion of men to those primal al
legiances that we so little under
stand, and yet recognize as the most
potent factor In human life.
Incidentally, Meme says he knows
now, all the Eskimo lore and tradi.
ton concerning the Cook Peary con.
troversy, and that he has an inter.
esting and convincing story to tell
about who really did and didn't Ret
to the pole. But he isn't telling Il
yet. Ne wants scientists to listen 70

TAFT AND T. r. MAKE UP

Not many incidents of the cam
paign will cause so much sorrow in
certain political quarters as the an
nouncement that Colonel Roosevelt
and Professor Taft have agreed to
be presented to each other, to shake
hands, and make up" It will be
an ominous sign of the utter reck-
lessness with which some people are
willing to devote themselves to the
effort to Gust the present Admins
tration from power.
Particularly will there be poignant
regret among Democrats who never
voted for Roosevelt, never believed
him other than a fraud, a faker, a
tyrant, and a determined hater OF
our institutions. About the middle
Of 1912 a great multitude Of such
Democrats became suddenly con-
verted to acute admiration for the
Colonel. They didn't admire him
enough to design voting for him
heaven forfend! But they were con,

THE ULTIMATUM OF vENIZRLos

Greece, it is reported, has adj
dressed an ultimatum to Germany.
Venizelos, it appears, has also deliv-
cred his ultimatum to King Constan-
tine. The Cretan statesman is able
to point to Crete in revolt against
the Teutonic dynasty at Athens
which has sacrificed the honor and
opportunity Of the nation, and with
out announcing that he is prepared
to place himself at the head of re-
volt to take the government out of
King Constantine's hands, he indi-
Gates plainly that so radical a move
as that Is about the next possible
step. Greece, in short, must enter
the world war, or have civil war.
There is little room. for doubt
about the result. Greece is aflame
With the war spirit. realizes the in
tolerable conditions that its lop-sided
neutrality has imposed upon it, and

whether or no. Venizelos himself
probably could not indefinitely hold
1t out if he would. The army has
become demoralized, the state is
practically bankrupt, and the bust
ness community is in no better pos
ture; for every activity Of COM
merce has suffered fearfully. Greece
is, in its own little part of the world,

proud of its merchant fleet, and of

vote for him.
There is-no, not all; Just merely
a sufficient number Of them to make
very sure that there could not pos
sibly be an electoral majority for Mr..
Taft; yet, on the other hand, just
few enough of them to insure that
there likewise should MOI be q ma
jority for Roosevelt. "
Colonel Roosevelt has stood well
or i'll with the Democrats about in
proportion as he has stood for pro-
grams that looked to dividing or TO
uniting Republicans. When he was
leading the Progressives away from
the Republican camp, he was a
prophet and a seer. When he set
about leading them back, he fell
from that estate to the lowest
depths of ignominious treason.
Likewise Mr.. Taft, our other liv-
ing ex-President. He was, in 1912,
the unanimous choice Of Democrats
for the Republican nomination.; not
for President, but for the nomina-
ton. They loved the steam roller
that did it, they assured regular"
Republicans that regularity was a
primary virtue; and then they went
around the corner to the Progressive
indignation meeting and wept with
the mourners over the outrages that
the machine and the steam roller had
inflicted.
II was sad to see the machine Re-
publicans of California "stand for"
Hiram Johnson; sad to see them, in
Washington, make the nomination Of
Poindexter possible; pitiful to. note
the unanimity with which they
voted Republican In Maine; shocking
that they should give Whitman the
Progressive nomination in New
York.
And now Roosevelt and Taft are
to be reconciled. It is too much, too
much!

"FRRD AMERICA FIRST"

New York bakers hit the nail on
the head when they adopted as their
slogan IN a fight upon the higher
price Of bread, "Feed America
First"
Bakers in Boston have started a
similar movement. The New York
dealers will make their appeal for an
embargo on the shipment of wheat
abroad to the Federal Trade Com
mission. The Boston bakers are re-
ported circulating a petition to be
presented to Congress when it con-
venes asking for similar embargo.
An embargo is of doubtful legal
ity. Even if it were legal its wis
dom would be questionable, as is the
wisdom of every device which seeks
TO hamper the free ebb and flow
Of world trade. Such an embargo
also might result in far-reaching in
ternational complications.
But the bakers have struck exactly
upon the causes Of the threatened
higher price for bread, and upon the
reasons for the present soaring
price Of wheat. America pays the
penalty for SO highly organizing its
wheat market that the spectators
may hold wheat for an advance in
price in any corner of the globe. The
farmers do not benefit largely by
this speculative selling, the specula-
tors are the gamers, and the con-
sumers, as per the old, old story, pay
the bills. 30

TUBRRcULoUs PUPILS IN THE
SCHOOLS

The problem Of providing for
tubercular children in separate
schools promises to be a difficult one.
The first step the Board Of Educa-
ton will take will be to ascertain the
number and grades Of these children.
Only a temporary arrangement
can 10 made this year. it seems, be-
cause no appropriation is available
for providing transportation, cloth
ing, and food for the afflicted chill
dren. The proper segregation Of the
group, it develops, demands that they
BE- housed in building where there
are no well pupils. This removes the
fear Of some folk that the roof Of
some grade school will be used. It
would be possible to make use Of
such, a location without danger, but
extreme care would have. to be ex-
ercised to avoid co-mingling, and it
would be easier, the officials believe,
to use some building where no other
children attend.
The school officials properly plan,
not only to segregate the afflicted
children, but hope ultimately to pro-
vide for their physical upbuilding by
frequent feeding, and to provide car
fare where they must come long dis
tsnces. II is a pity that a fund is
not now available fer these purposes,
but since it is not the schools will
have to provide the best makeshift
they can this year.

CHILDREN AND DESTITUTE
.a. PARENTS

Baltimore has just evoked for the
first time a new law which would be
Of benefit to the District. This law,
passed at the last session of the
Maryland legislature, provides that
children who are able to do SO must
support destitute parents.
The District already has laws re-
lating to the duty of parents to chill
dren and Of husbands to wives. It
needs a law like that of Baltimore
to complete its machinery for COM
pelling the nearest of kin to shoulder
the responsibility to relatives.
The problem of the aged parent
without support who has well-to-do
children who seem to have forgotten
their natural obligations, is one that
faces the associated charity organi-
cation Of every large city. 1t is a
civilization that legal steps should
be necessary to compel such support.
The Maryland law is new, but one
has been in force in New York for
some time, and reports are that it
has worked effectively. All the OBJ
jections to be brought against such a
measure could be eliminated by a
properly framed law.
OF course, the law should not COM
mel young men with families, whose
income is barely enough for wife and
children, to assume a burden they
cannot bear. OF course, there are
cases where the destitute parent is
not deserving. But these exceptions
could be provided for in the law.
Such a law in the District would
further relieve the stress upon
charitable organizations and help
them place the burden of dependency
where it belongs instead of upon the
entire community.

CONVERTING CITIZENS INTO
SOLDIERS.

The performances of "Kitchener's
mob" on the Somme front have
about put an end to the sneering
illusions % the incapacity, the raw
ness, the military inefficiency and
the lack Of fighting quality among
British troops. The best soldiers that
Germany could put in her lines have
been repeatedly beaten by the Kitch-
ener mob, whose units, two years
ago were city clerks, tramcar drivers,
coal miners, sprigs of aristocracy,
limbs Of nobility, farm hands, stock
brokers, and youthful public men.
The notion Of q military career had
never occurre dto most Of them.
They went-four millions Of them
and trained themselves as soldiers,
while the malicious Kitchener was
still bewailing the fact that he
couldn't raise a million. II was the
great outrage Of the war, this pro-
duction Of four million trained fight
ing men, while Berlin was actually
misled by the stupid British to be-
lieve that a million would never be
forthcoming.
And then to make it worse, they
actually could fight; could die; could
manage an aeroplane with a little
more dash and recklessness than
anybody else.
But looking back over the war,
there must be recollection of one i'm
portant detail. 1.-TWO yearsw Even
the mighty Kitchener, whose like as
an organizer no country may be con-,
fident it can command in an
emergency, could not make his mob
into an army without the two years.
Suppose Kitchener had been able
to start with four million of men
already systematically trained in
modern warfare's methods; trained
to building trenches and living in
them and fighting for them; trained
to taking care of their camps;
trained to cooperating with sky
craft and devil tanks; trained to
handle complicated machine guns,
and huge howitzers; trained to go
where they were sent without ques-
ton, and to stay till ordered some
where else.
How long would this war have
lasted if Britain could have thrown
into it mob of two or three millions
at the outset?
The war would never have started,
we may premise. But if it had
started, it would have been ended in
a year; and it would have ended just
about as, two or three years hence,
it will end. It would not have bank
rupted Europe in material and half
way bankrupted it in human re-
sources. 1t would have left the Con-
tinent now well on the way to re-
Mobilization.
Kitchener's army, in the view of
some mistaken people, teaches that
it is unnecessary to maintain uni
versal military training. But one
will have long search to find an
intelligent Britisher who draws that
conclusion from his intimate knowl-
edge of the making and the cost of
Kitchener's army. He will tell you
that the lesson Of two years spent
in making an army out Of that mob
is that it ought to have been made
in advance, and that only the
benefcence of providence permitted
the opportunity to create an army
before it was too late. That is the
lesson that Americans may safely
draw from Britain's travail and
triumph.
