He Got His Book All
Written and Just Then
America Declared War

Judging by his nice little book. War
and Peace Aims Prince Friedrich Of
Lowenstein will get niche in the Ger
man halls Of fame as a financier, even if
he gets bested as prophet.
Friedrich admits that the Allies may
so exhaust themselves before the war
ends that they simply cannot pay money
indemnity to Germany, but this pros
pect doesn't worry him.
Germany will take indemnity in the
form of raw material which she viii
need-tin. wool, etc. from England
wines, oils, coal. etc, from France, silks
oils, etc. from Italy grain, leather min
erals, etc. from Russia. All Germany
will have to do will be to sit on her
front porch and check of the indemni-
ties as the delivery man brings them in.
1t is a picture 70 delight the kultured
Teuton heart but Friedrich ought TO is
sue a sequel to his book
America has come in since his book
was issued
A book like that isn't complete with.
out word about the real gold and raw
material such as steel wool, cotton
wheat, corn meats, women, etc. that
America will have to furnish, when Ger

Agreement Is Best

After an amicable conference with the
government food administrators, eighty
per cent az the beet sugar producers
agree to limit the price Of their prod
uct
This is fine
An ounce Of amicable agreement Is
worth ton of pounding ON the head
But 20 per cent Of sugar men not in
this conference can spoil the arrange

The Training of the
Child In School Should
Begin In the Home

Besides several future presidents. and
possibly the greatest American novel T.
thousands Of just average young Amer-
cans begin the fall term of school
And mothers by the hundred rejoice
openly because school has taken ihe
youngsters out Of the house and oet 81
the way most of their waking ho'.
five days a week
The feeling Of these mothers "o1a
be qrievously injured if they were ,o.l
they are deliberately shelving ary 'l
their own duties upon the teachers
The teachers know this however
altho they do not protest Iaef Emo"
a growing evil Of the public school
tenn for the past ten year has been .ae
sinking Of parental responsibility iaf
what children 90 In schoo hours
And teachers feel the ev. neraa
ing not because cooperation between
school and home cannot be arranged SAFE
isfactorily. but because the understand
ing between the parent and the chAd IS
not Of the right kind.
The child at school reflects The home
The bow will not mind his teacher u
he is not accustomed 70 mind has mother.
A child will be tardy At school d be Is
permitted to be late to breakfast a
bully viii terrify his schoo.mates ~ re-
cess if he is allowed TO tease and scare
his own little brothers and sisters.
Many fond mamma sends child To
his classes with clean hands and neat
clothing as a matter Of personal pride,
while disclaiming all responsibility for
his disobedience and laziness, as ii his
manners and character were things she
could not possibly have part in shap-
ing.
American parents are always ready
TO pick flaws in the public scnool sys-
tenl-and heaven knows they are easy
to pick-but the number would be grand
" reduced if some parents would seek
with the same eagerness for mistakes
in the home training Of their little ones.
And the worst Of 1t all is that every
body blames the poor child. He IS called
bad" and he endures punishment
which his elders really deserve because
his badness" is mostly the result Of
their laziness, selfshness or stupidity.
Parents who are slackers add big
sums to the cost of education. SO here
is chance for patriotic mothers TO try
a new kind Of wartime economy. Help
the teachers by raising children who
know how to behave in school. Then
see that they do behave
