learner. Then isn't it well that we
carefully consider the subject of each
picture before we hang it upon the
walls as model before the eyes of
little ones? We can inspire their
young lives with pure, clean. upright,
examples, and there are many beau
tiful pictures intended for that pur-
pose, and they may be bought for
few cents each at any ten cent store.
The readers in some Of the lower
grades have been changed this year.
Our superintendent saw fit to change
them, and having had quite bit of
practical experience with the old read
ers, think he made a very wise
move. Hardly any of us would be
willing to go back to the primitive
methods of teaching or learning be-
suit the cause in this day. Parents
very often become worried at having
to purchase new books occasionally,
and | guess it does seem to them
that they are spending money fool
ishly. but after careful consideration
do you know how you could spend
that much money where it would
reap more bountiful harvest? Read
ing books cost only few cents, and
teachers are not willing to teach your
child in the books that you studied
because they are probably fifty years
old, and consequently that child
would be fifty years behind the times
Now you see why the readers and
other books change occasionally.
Times are changing People are diff
ferent, and we must keep abreast of
the times, if we don't wish to be left
entirely behind.

URGES PHYSICIANS BE
DRAFTED FOR WAR DUTY

Washington, June, 25.-Applica-
ton of a selective draft to provide
physicians and surgeons for the war
armies was urged upon the Defense
Councils General Medical Board to-
day by officers of the medical section
of the New York National Defense
Committee.
Major Karl Connell, heading the
New Workers, submitted data to
prove that out of 100000 doctors in
| the United States less than one-half
are available or desirable for mill
tary service. He said the volunteer
system failed to protect local med
ical needs and that the policy of al
lowing or urging doctors to volunteer
indiscriminately would result in
confusion, waste and failure.
The committee on Standardization
of medical and surgical supplies and
equipment, which has been at work
on the problem of overcoming the
shortage in surgical supplies and in
struments, due to the large percent
age of this material which has here
tofore been imported from Germany,
reported to-day that through cooper
alton among American manufacture
ers substantial progress had been
made on increasing the output for
war purposes.
The committee is rapidly perfect

medical instruments and apparatus,

DESTROY GERMAN NAVY
BY TORPEDO PLANES
AERO CLUB INDORSE PLAN AD-
VOCATED BY RETIRED REAR
ADMIRAL.

New York, June 25.-Destructior
of the German fleet at it's base by
torpedo planes, which he styled tn,
most powerful and mobile of weap
one, was advocated in a letter which
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske. re
tired, sent to the Board of Govern,
ors of the Aero Club of America
Such a weapon, Admiral Fiske de.
clared, would give the Allies comp
lete control of the North Sea, even
the shallow waters along the Gerr an
coast, and would prevent German
submarines from leaving ports. The
Aero Club, through its governors
Endorsed the plan.
I'm air raids over the land the
strategical advantage lies with Ger
many" said Admiral Fiske, "be-
cause her most important towns, like
Berlin, are farther inland than the
most important towns of the Allies.
Like London. So the airplanes of the
Allies, in order to reach Berlin would
have to fly over greater distances
while exposed to the fire of other air
planes, than do the Germans in 60
ing to London.
For raids on naval vessels, how
ever, the advantage lies with the AZ
lies because their control of the deep
waters of the North Sea enables them
to establish temporary aeronautical
base of mother ships sufficiently close
to the German fleets in Kiel and Will
helmshaven, while the Germans could
not possibly establish an aeronautical
base sufficiently close to the British
fleet.
This gives the Allies the great
advantage of the offensive. 1t would
seem possible for the Allies to send
ships to point say fifty miles west
of Heligolend and for a large force
OF fighting airplanes and torpedo
planes to start from this place about
two hours before dawn, reach Kiel
and Wilhelmshaven about dawn, at
tack the German fleets and sink the
German ships.
"Of course, the attack would be
resisted by German airplanes and
fighting would be needed, but no
war has been decided except by
f ghting, and in the present case the
Allies, now the United States has
Joined them, could unquestionably
put an overwhelming number of air
planes in the battle"
