Couical Conclusion

"Tle is not out of the woods yet"
THAT is why they think they can
tree him."
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

Much has been said on the subject
of economy since the beginning of the
war. Some have advocated that every
citizen organize his living along lines
of rigid economy. No sooner was this
plea set forth than others declared
that we must not radically change our
mode of living lest we unsettle the
industrial and commercial world. They
pointed out the fact that nothing is so
sensitive as the credit organization of
business and that sudden changes in
national mode of living would react
disastrously. This latter advice seemed
bit ironical to the great masses of
the nation who are wage earners and
who compared the swiftly rising prices
with their almost stationary wages.
Out of the discussion there devel-
oped this fact-the nation is preparing

remain, and all boys and girls gradual
ing from high schools should be urged
to enter college, technical school, or
normal school.
All students should be made to
understand that it is their duty to give
to their country and to the world the
best and fullest possible measure of
service, and that both will need more
than they will get of that high type
of service which only men and women
of the best education and training can
give. Patriotism and the desire to
serve humanity may require of these
young men and women the exercise
of that very high type of self-restraint
preparation until the time comes when
they can render service which can not
be rendered by others.
Special Intensive Courses.
in agricultural colleges special
intensive courses should be given to
prepare teachers, directors, and super
visors of agriculture and practical
farm superintendent. 1t should be
remembered that the scientific knowl-
edge and the supervising and directing
skill of these men and their ability to
increase the productive capacity of
thousands of men of less knowledge
and skill are far more valuable than
the work they can do as farm hands.

dents in all colleges is only a frac-
tion more than one-tenth of l per cent

itself for the greatest test it has ever
endured; it is stripping itself for the
fight and like an athlete getting into
training to develop hard sinews of en-
durance. Weak places are disclosed
that they may be eliminated. The
whole process must go on under rigid,
scientific principles. We must know
achieve our greatest strength. So our
nation is passing thru a period of
shifting values and changing econo-
mics. The purpose is to eliminate the
waste and to make everything count
for national effectiveness.
AS a nation we must get rid of those
qualities and customs that are asso-
ciated with soft living in the times of
peace and national luxury. We must
develop endurance, power, spiritual
insight and creative ability With this
changing of values there must come a
readjustment in the commercial and
industrial world. Occupations and in
dustries may for time disappear COM
pletely and new ones be developed to
meet war necessities.
The guiding thought of new econo-
mics will be the elimination of waste
and the enhancement of effectiveness.
Our economic, social and political in
times were loosely co-ordinated and
widely differentiated.
In order to meet war needs and serve
war purposes these must be co-ordi-
mated and unified. The spirit and pur-
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

pose of the whole nation must be
unified. In democratic people this
can not be accomplished by compul-
sion, but it must come thru the volun-
tary response of every citizen. In
each household there must develop the
purpose to adjust the household econ
not only to the material things but to
elimination of waste in the household
will contribute to the elimination of
national waste. Waste here refers,
not onl yto the material things but to-
the spiritual and creative abilities OF
the members of the household. No
one must be waster or shirker; the
effort must be a genuine one and not
a pretense.
Among certain families has been in
augurated with striking publicity, a
conspicuous program of economy fea-
tured by a three-course dinner. With
the accounts of this conspicuous econ
omy, enumerating the articles compos-
ing the menu, the whole sham was dis
closed. 1t was mockery to those
thousands of families who must live
in most rigid economy in order to
make ends meet. The war must be
won by genuine efforts based upon the
right principles. 1t is of no advantage
nor does it further our purpose to
deceive ourselves or try to deceive
our neighbors; every effort must be
genuine and must be intelligently di-
rected to further the best interests of
the whole people Personal interests
and personal activities must be sub
ordinated to national welfare.

high schools, as for the elementary
schools. In the high schools adopting
this plan arrangements should be made
for half-time attendance, according to
the Fitchburg, Cincinnati, and Spar

proportion of pupils as possible.
"'Al laboratories and manual
training shops in high schools should
be run at their full capacity. In many
of the shops work should be done
which will have immediate value for

PROGRAM OF SCHOOL ACTIVITY DURING
WAR SUGGESTED TO EDUCATIONALS
Evening Glasses Urged by Claxton
Women, Well as Boys and Girs-More College
Needed-Dernand for Well-Trained Teachers

The United States bureau of educa-
ton has issued the following state
ment:
"Suggestions for a program of
school activity for different types of
educational institutions during the war
have just been issued by DR.. P. P.
Claxton, United States commissioner
of education. After pointing out that
attendance laws should be enforced as
usual, DR.. ClaXton says:
Parents should be encouraged to
make all possible efforts to keep their
children in school and should have pub
lie or private help when they can not
do so without it. Many young chill
dren will lack the home care given
them in times of peace, and there will
be need of many more kindergartens
and Montessori schools that we now
have.
Larger Attendance.
The attendance in the high schools
should be increased, and more boys and
girls should be induced to remain there
until their course is completed. A
school year of four terms of twelve
weeks each is recommended for the

affect it immensely by their directive
power when their college courses have
been finished.
No college, university, or technic-
al school that can avoid it should
permit it's faculty or student body to
be scattered or it's energies to be dis
sipated. All should redouble their
energies and concentrate them on those
things that will be of most service
during the progress of the war and
which will prepare their students for
the most effective service of the coun-
try and of the world when the war is
over"
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

should be formed, to meet at such
times as may be arranged during
working hours or in the evening. All
cities should maintain evening schools
for adult men and women. In cities
having considerable numbers of immi-
grants evening schools should be MAIN
tanned for them, with classes in Eng
lish, in civics, and such other subjects
as will be helpful to these foreigners
in understanding our industrial, So
cial, civic and political life.
in few states is the supply of
broadly educated and well-trained
teachers equal to the demand. The
normal schools should double their
most economic way for the work of
preparing teachers. Appropriations
for the support of normal schools
should be largely increased, as should
also the attendance of men and women
preparing for service as teachers.
More College Students.
" The number of students in COL
leges, universities, and technical
schools should increase rather than
diminish. Many of the older and up
per class men will volunteer for some
branch of the military service, but all
young men below the age of liability
to selective draft and those not rec
commended for special service should
be urged to remain and take full ad
of the opportunities offered by
the colleges, universities and technical
schools, to the end that they may be
able to render the most effective serv-
ice in the later years of the war and
the times of need that will follow.

of outdoor air is a matter Of like un-
certainty. Fresh air is best for man
when it can be had, but experiments
have shown that there is not the real
danger in breathed-over air We were
once taught. In crowded factory dis
tricts, where the supply of outdoor
air is restricted, feelings of oppres-
sion may be prevented by such meas
ures as controlling circulation, tenn
perature and humidity. In the con-
troll of winter heating, education is
needed. Houses are notorlously
over-heated, and the air from fur
naces is not properly fed with mols-
ture. With air dampened without
taking it's moisture from the human
body and the furniture, comfort is
reached at lower temperature than

Definition.

Washington, April 21.-A bitter
indictment of German brutality in
the deportation of conquered Bel
gians for forced labor, written from
behind the German lines by Brand
Whitlock, American minister to Bel
GUM, was made public tonight by
the State department. 1t came in
confidential report last January when
the United States was vainly protest
ing to Berlin against the treatment
of the helpless people, but the depart
ment did not dare publish it at that
time or until Mr.. Whitlock was safe
on French soil.
The report begins with story of
what happened Immediately after the
army overran Belgium, of arrange
ments by the Belgian government to
continue the wages of civilians
thrown out of work and of the con-
uuerors' determination to put these
men to work for them.
In August, Won Hindenburg was
appointed to the supreme command, "

most distressing stories of the scenes
of cruelty and sorrow attending the
seizures. And daily, hourly almost.
since that time, appalling stories
have been related by Belgians COM

The policy spread; the rich industrial
districts of Hainault, the mines and
