 Arguments for and against this pro- gram form a part of the everlasting discussion regarding the merits of the present and practical" as distinguished from the distant and cultural" No man living can hope to still this tenn pest with a word, or with a book of words Still it may not be out of place to ask few questions that cannot be answered without some realization of what is involved in the proposed redis- tribution of time. Such questions as these must be faced: Where within the last three centuries is there to be found a national culture comparable to that of Greece in it's influence? What is the comparative importance to us of Roman and British imperialism of the barba- rian invasions and rne Napoleonic wars? Is divine-rights- -absolutism more important than feudalism? Are the Roman Church, the Holy Roman Elm pire. the Renaissance and the Reforma- tion of small importance as compared with Nationalism, Democracy and the Industrial Revolution?

teacher writes, 'I try to emphasize es- capital, because it is along this line that our government is developing in fact, it is here that the world pro- blem lies" In another large school the climax of the movement has been reacher: to quote: We now call our history department of Department of Social Sciences because ultimately our four years course vii include two years of historical social science and two years of civics, economics and sociol- ogy .. (Already, with the transition partially accomplished we are attracting many new students to the department and are giving them work that is more worth while than the old course
 In the fight for a place in the high school program, sociology, economies and civics, like modern history, find English history their weakest oppo- nent. Six schools have substituted a half year of ciyics for the traditional year of English history, and four Of this number now give American his tory in the junior year and follow il in the forth year with the new work in economies and civics. Two schools have replaced English history with full years course in economics and indus trial history, another divides the third year evenly between English history and economics, and still another makes room for full year O. economies by allowing but half a year each to an- cient history and English history. Fi- nally one large school gains time for economies and SOciaF history bv offer ing, as. an alternative to ancient and medieval and modern history, a two yeors course in the history of Europe divided as follows. early E,nrnne ono

provide that the secretary of the treasury may deposit proceeds of the bond issues in any banks he may des- gnate, including state banks and trust companies with provisos that such deposits of proceeds shall be lim- scribed to by the financial institutions and their depositors, with the bonds as security for the federal deposits.
 The first open partisan division. came upon an amendment by Senator Weeks to stipuIate the exact form in which the bonds shall be issued. It was lost by a tia vote, 40 to 40. Sen ator Stone, finance committee mem beri refrained from voting and the vice president refused to break the tie be- cause, he said, he knew nothing of the technical financial questions involved.
 The Weeks amendment proposed that instead of giving, as the bill pro- vides, broad discretionary powers to the secretary of the treasury to pre- scribe the form of the bonds. thev should be serial issues, limited to twenty years, in denominations of $50 and multiples. Senator Weeks said this would be correct financing and save tens of millions of dollars.
 Senator Simmons explained that the committee and Secretary McAdoo felt it desirable that the government have the widest latitude to meet exigencies of the market in floating the enormous issues.
 The senate accepted another amend ment by Senator Weeks providing that the conversion privilege of sub scribers shall be for bonds issued dur ing the war with Germany and not. as the bill proposed limited to bonds is sued before December 31 1918

new course for the study of English history. One instructor lays emphasis upon England's part ir medieval and modern history, two others also study at length England's connection with the American colonies, and in four schools time is found to emphasize English history as a part of two year course in the history of Europe. At a glance all this may appear to be ln harmony with the recommendations of the Committee of Five, but il must be remembered that these teachers eX- pect to find a place for English history Tn a two years European history course, and notsin a three-year course as the committee recommended.
 That English history is not every where on the downward road may be proved by the fact that in two schools differentiated course in this field has recently been added to the program; one of the teachers concerned says that the addition was made with the ldea of allowing students to study the Eu- ropean country most important to America, more intensively than was possible in the medievai anC modern course" Another schoolmaster states that the English and medieval anc modern courses are now given every year instead of alternately as formerly, due to increasing demand.
 Conclusion
 In closing, the statement made in the beginning regarding the growth of emphasis on modern history and socio- economics may be repeated. and it may fairly be added that the ultimate goal of the movement is program some thing like this:
 1st year-Early European history.
 2d year-Modern European history.
Arizona republican., 1917-04-18

year; modern Europe, one-half year; England, one-half year.
 The defense for these changes is more often a protest against a dispro- portionate amount of time devoted to English history than a plea for econom- ics or civics Any change that relieves the pressure on United States history
 by removing civics to another yea, seems doubly welcome.
 The Case of General History"
 The fear sometimes expressed that
 the pressure of practical subjects would result in a reinstatement of general history seems to be ground less, since only four high schools offer the subject. In one case general history has been substituted for English his tory for the benefit of those students taking business courses, or preparing for engineering or scientific courses" Another school has substituted general history for ancient and medieval and modern because history is not worth one-fourth a students time unless he wiches to specialize in the subject" {" The work in social and economic his tory seems in some measure to take the place of general history, and one teacher distinctly states that her course in commercial and industrial history is intended to serve as short course in
 the ancient and medieval and modern fields.
 A Place for English History Through all these changes English history hasSuffered most. In eighteen schools the separate course in this sub ject has been crowded out completely in favor of economics or civics or mod ern history or some combination of these subjects. and in one case in favor of general history.

Passing now from the undermining tendency Tn general to consider the growth Of socio- economic emphasis, we ind that in eighteen institutions spe- cial stress is laid upon this aspect of history and that in many instances the establishment of new courses in socio- iogy. economies or cfvics is either ac- comPlished or under consideration.

EXTENSION DEPARTMENT
BRANDS RUM0R FALSE
Government Has No Thought of Seiz~
ing Food -Stuffs I'm the Pantries
of the People.

Blackburg. Va, Sept. 26,-There is
absolutely no truth in n widely cir
cuiated statement that tho govern
ment expects to take food supplies
from any family. The food admins
tration and the United states depart
mant of agriculture join with the ex-
tension division of the Virginia
Polytechnic institute In an emphatic
denial of the report that the govern
ment intends TO take from every
family all canned goods put UP in ex-
cess of 100 quarts.
This is only one of the variations
of the rumor. Another statement liz
that the government has been urging
the canning, drying, and preserving
of fruits and vegetables, go that they
will be in II convenient form for the
government to handle and transport
when II takes them away from the
people. Further elaboration is that
these GOODS are TO be taken away
from the American homes and shipped
to England.
The circulation OF this report seems
to be a part of a deliberate propa-
gand on the part Of those unfriendly
TO the government and is being used
in a most INSCRIPTIONS manner. In
stances are known. though possibly
not In Virginia. where persons claim,
ing to be representatives Of the United
States department have. called at
homes In the country and carried
off canned goods. leaving the family
small quantity. These people are
simple takers and any one receiving
a visit from them should st once sum-
mon an officer of the law.
The extension division wished to
state very positively that no such
course has ever been contemplated
by the national or state government.
On the contrary. housewives are
urged to can and preserve, especially
at this time, all fruit and vegetables
possible in order that the households
themselves may have a cheap and
plentiful supply OF food
