VON TIRPITZ THE PROPHET

Von Trpitz yerifes the judgment and the utterance of President Wilson There be peace there can be no victory for justice that will be maintained peace with the German government unless that government shall be responsible to and express the will of the German people, Won Trpitz puts it this way The greatest victory can not replace the immense sacrifices we have made. The peace of the rechstag majority would mean Germany s defeat
 There is but one Germany in the yon Ihpitz mind and that is Germany Pussanzed with the Kaiser as its deity To reach peace settlement through the German people, by the will and the hope and the aspirations of the people as they are slowly awakening to the bloody Ma chiayeansm of their Prusan masters must by the very logic of human nature mean the nseang of those mas ters and the birth of new nation that will sever all kin ship with Prussianism.
 From the von Trptz utterance it is evident he can perceive at least the promise of new spirit in Germany for which democratic civilization fondIy hopes Von Trptz makes the issue precisely President Wilson has stated it. The only peace that Pussianized Germany can accept is Pussian peace; and that is no peace at a

G~uatemaIa's Fete Day,

All Guatemala celebrates the feast
of Minerva, the most elaborate obServ-
ance in its calendar. The revival of
this feast, educational and patriotic
in its motives, is the idea of the pres
n president, Senior don Estrada Cab
rera. Like its Roman precursor, it
marks the close of the school year,
and prizes are awarded for excellence
In scholarship. One of the prizes
500 gold and a trip to the United
States-was given by an American
company for the best essay written in
English. Ceremonies intended to in
culcate love of country and devotion
to duty form part of the celebration.
There is also an exhibition of the prod
ucts of the republic held in connection
with the annual event. OF the ex-
hibits this year, coffee, sugar and sugar
deserve special mention. Ameri-
can-made plows and disk plows spe-
cially adapted to sugar-cane cultiva-
ton were on display.

Crossbar taffetas. in soft weaves,
made up in simple designs, are among
the unpretentious afternoon gowns that
make an instant appeal to most wom-
en-. There are several models of this
character among almost every repre-
sentative showing Of spring styles. The
silks appear in all the colors used this
season, with crossbars in fine lines of
white. They look like fine ginghams
translated into silk. Designers take
their cue from this suggested likeness
and Il sort of playful resemblance to
an apron Is evident in some Of the new
dress models.
A typical frock of crossbar taffetas
Is shown in the accompanying picture.
1t Is n piece, but has the effect of
an overdrcss and skirt. There is a
panel extending the length of the dress
from neck to hem at the front and one
at the back. In the skirt portion, the
panels have a plat at each side, but
in the bodice this is omitted. At each
side of the skirt larger pockets pro-
claim the frock as mindful of fash
Ions requirements. They are gathered

g The incident emphasizes the conflict
raging among psychologists and edu-
Gators, between those who espouse the
principle of discipline" and those who
advocate the idea of interest" So
many of us have a feeling that there
is danger in sugar-cOating the bitter
pills which a child must swallow.
This is akin to the feeling that what
we naturally like to. do, or what comes
easy, must be something wrong, and
that there is inherent virtue in doing
what is difficult. 1t Is obvious that n
child should learn to do the hard, dis
agreeable task, just because it has to
be done. In later life we must do
many things that are not interesting,
we must do them because circum-
stances compel the doing. Should not
the child therefore be trained to meet
difficulties as a matter of course?
In order to get a task well done II
need not all be drudgery. If there is

the child will make the most rapid
progress and produce the best results
In proportion as there Is motive that
appeals to the taste or ambition or de-
sires of the child. In other words, the
work will be effective according to the
interest that the child can maintain
during its progress.
We all realize the value of concen-
tration and application on the part of
the child. The real issue seems to be
this: Should application and effort
be obtained through fear, or cOmpul-
sion, or should they he obtained
through stimulation of a real concern
of the child for the results of the task,
or an interest In the process?
Those who fear training a child
through appeals to the interest are
very much like people who think
it is necessary for a child to have
and other ''children's diseases"
In order to attain a state Of health.
1t is true that surviving measles and
smallpox will make one immune to
these diseases. But it is hardly wise
TO expose every child to these diseases
for that reason. In the first place, i'm
lmunity is not necessary, where we can
make sure of preventing infection.
But resistance to disease may be OBJ
tanned more pleasantly and just as eff
fectively by proper care for the nu-
triton and breathing and cleanliness
of the body. The same principles
would seem to apply to the normal
health of the child.
There is no doubt that many a child
is spoiled" by being pampcred. We
make Il game of dressing or of eating.
or of putting things in order, or of
writing. There is the danger that
when the child is older he will fail to
do these things, because the depend

boast the possession of a precocious
daughter:

NEW PHASES OF OLD PROBLEM
In Order to Get a Task Well Done II
Is Not Necessary to Make All
Drudgery for the Child
Appeal to His Interest.
BY SIDoNIE M. GUTENBERG.

A s HE was about to leave for q sum-
n mer in the country his teacher in
formed eight-year-old Leonard that he
had been promoted, and told him that
he would not have to study during his
vacation. Leonard was happy and so
was his mother. for she did dread the
thought of having n child make up"
school work when he should be play
Ing. But toward the end of the vaca-
ton there n an occasion for writing
a letter-grandfather was to lave a
birthday-and Leonard exhausted his
ingenuity and his mothers patience
finding and delays. When he
did at last sit down to write the letter
the mother was both ~chagrincd and
worried. The child squirmed about in
his seat, showing great discomfort.
He made many false motions, omitted
letters from common words Che was
an unusually good speller) and omit
ted strokes for many letters. The
mother was ashamed to send off the
letter; and she was afraid that the
boy would be denoted after returning
to school. She therefore resolved to
use the remaining days of the vaca-
ton for retrieving the lost art, and
planned a daily exercise in writing.
There was resolution, so the plan
was carried Out-but it was Il torture
to both mother and child. This lasted
for several days, and the progress
made was far from encouraging. But
n afternoon Leonard and some of
his young friends were playing "auc-
ton" on the porch, having witnessed
a real auction of household effects q
day or two earlier. Leonard was the
clerk, and made a record of all the
sales, writing the names of the pur-
chasers, the articles and the prices.
When the mother saw the list she
found 1t hard to realize that it had
ben made by the same child hat suf-
fered such agonies over his writing.
The work was neat, the ame were
all spelled correctly, and there was no
sign of effort or discomfort.
This observation made the mother
suspect that this child could be led
faster than he could be driven, and
h looked about for "mOtives' to
make writing interesting. She got him
to write out Items when she sent him
on an errand, she asked him to help

The day laborer, rs opposed to the

ecutive, legislative and judicial ma

probable that this figure will become
the recognized standard of all labor. OF

lack FROST PROVED POWER
Impressive Spectacle When Fifty Tons
Of Rock, Loosened by Cold, Fell
Thousand Feet.

Delicate frost tracings on the win
low-panes seem to be the work of fan
ciful and harmless sp~ortiveness, but
the hand that forms them is capable of
greater deeds and other kinds.
An official of the geological survey
tells of an experience that must have
been wonderfully impressive to the
spectator. He had been spending some
weeks in exploring the Yosemite Val
ley and the great rocks" like "El
Captain" that wall it In.
Standing day of late autumn
about the middle of the valley, he was
startled by a report like d c%annon-shot,
which filled the whole valley with
echoes that roared and doomed, re-
piled and multiplied, in a long-con-
tinued, glorious tumult.
AS the d~eafening sound died away
In sullen mutterings under the vizor
of Ell Captain, the spectator was able
to distinguish the point of attack by
the long, gathering descent of Il vast
quantity of rock.
The night had been a cold one in the
valley, and on the 1000 and 5000 foot
levels of the upper rim the tempera-
ture must have dropped almost to
zero.
Frost, working quietly with his
Archimedean lever, had just succeeded
in shifting from the shoulder of the
Sentinel II triile of 30 tons or so of
granite. For near Il thousand feet the
powder fell sheer, swift and silent
then, striking the cliff, it burst like a
bomb, scattered into ii myriad flying
shards and Splinters, and dislodged Il
smother Of fragments that trickled
down to the valley in a stream that
lasted for minutes.
Then from the spot where the bowl
der had struck, dust began to rise into
the sunny air, slowly building up like
ii summer cloud and every bit as
snowy. 1t was the flour of granite,
powdered in~stantaneously by the ter
rifle shock.

child's activity until he has acquired
a new skill, but that after the skill is
acquired we must supply a new mo-
tive for applying it. Under the dis
cipline" system the corresponding dam
ger is that after the child has learned
to do something-under compulsiOn-
he will evade the doing whenever the
pressure Is relieved. Whichever sys-
ten is followed, it is necessary at last
to find internal motives for conduct,
and this does not appear to be more
difficult where the interest is made
to play its part.
On the other hand, where the child's
interests bear their share of the bur-
den of training, we avoid a certain
hardness or SOurness and we strength
en- the bonds of sympathy between Our
children and ourselves.

ones when cut look u~nattractive. Scald
the oysters in their own liquor until
the edges curl, drain and carefully re-
move all pieces of Shell, set on ice to
chill until serving time. To every
quart of oysters allow two stalks of
