JAKE LOEB'S IDEAS ON EDUCA-
TON. - Notwithstanding the vast
knowledge we have acquired in this
century relating to the psychology Of
children, school teachers have not
learned to apply it. In fact, the Chi
cagO school system lays special
stress on memory, and disregards
originality entirely. Thinking is dis
couraged.
The system now in vogue tends to
make physical wrecks out of the ma
jority of school children. 1t plays
havoc with the nervous systems of
the brightest and most sensitive chill
dren. Four or five hours home work
is handed out to the children ire
spective Of their physical condition or
their ability to "cram."
The distinguished board of educa-
ton, at whose head is Jacob Loeb,
whose knowledge Of child psychology
is proverbial, have now introduced
ancient history, as well as a Chi
cago course, as extra studies for the
spiritual illumination and the ply
steal degeneration of the children.
How can we expect to apply the vast
amount of child PSYCHOLOGY at our
disposal when the board consists of
such men whose knowledge is be-
fitting men of the NeOlithic age.
In order to introduce sound and
sane system of education, so that the
worries and anXieties should be spar
ed our children until they have to
face the struggle of modern life, we
must see that cultured men are ap-
pointed to the board of edUcatiOn.-

PONDEROUS PERSONAGES--RAY-
MOND POINCARE.

Raymond Poincare is quiet
Frenchman who does not seem to
have much to do in these tumultu-
Gus European days. He is almost
the only Frenchman who is out of a
job. While millions of his country
men are fighting in the trenches aud,
other millions are doing double work
at home he is condemned to life
of luxurious idleness. All he has to
do is to be President of France.
Being President of France is like
being Vice President of the United
States. 1t is a sort of honorary in
ternment. wished upon some patri-
otto citizen. The King of England,
the Emperor of Germany and the
Car of Russia are all extremely
busy these days with army matters,
But the President of France would
be slapped on the wrist and sent
back to Paris with warning if he
were to wander into the trenches
aud order an army to advance On
the foe.
France doesn't trust president
any more than she does king
When we elect a president we turn
the government over to him and
only ask him to present message
once year and tell us the results.
But when France elects president
she moves him into a large palace
provides him with plenty Of food
and uniforms and asks him kindly
to shut up and play dead for seven
years.
Before Poincare was president he
was very powerful man. He was
premier of france and could run ev-
erything in the country. 1t was a
severe blow to step down from this

BUSY AT HIS JOB.

Amsterdam. Sept. 2.-Leut. Capt.
Hans Rose, the submarine COM
mander who, after II days voy-
age appeared in German submarine
U.53 at Newport in October, 1916,
subsequently returning across the
Atlantic, is at present busy sinking
merchantmen, according to advices
from Berlin. The German semi-offi-
cial news agency appends to this an
nouncement a note saying that the
United States naval authorities con-
sidered the U-53's double trip SO
improbable that experts declared in
Congress in February, 1917, that the
submarine was Enthusiastically ac-
companied by a provisioning ship
which had remained undiscovered
This incredulit, of the Americans,
adds the agency. is the more COM
prehensible, seeing that it had to be
admitted by the American naval au-
thOrities on the same occasion that
the best performance of an Ameri
can submarine at that time covered
only 10 days."
