An Educational Program for the War

DR.. P. P Claxton, United States commits
sioner of education. is giving the problem OF edu-
cation during the war considerable thought and
consideration. He urges parents to keep their
children in school and at college. After the war,
the intense competition of the foreign countries
will demand more highly developed mental eff
ficiency in America to combat successfully for
eign trade INVASION After pointing out that at
tendance 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 public or private help when they
can not do so without it. Many young children
will lack the home care given them in times OF
peace, and there will be need of many more kin
dergartens and Montessori schools than now
have.
1.-THE attendance in the high schools should be
increased, and more boys and girls should be in
duced to remain until their course is completed.
A school year Of four terms of IL weeks each is
recommended for the high schools, as for the ee-
mentary schools. In the high schools adopting
this plan arrangements should be made for half
time attendance, according to the Fitchburg, Gin
cinnati and Spartanburg, S. c.. plans, for a large
proportion of pupils as possible.
Cali laboratories and Misunderstanding shops
in high schools should be run at their full ca
pacity In many of the shops work should be
done which will have immediate value for the ma
tional defense.
"In all high schools in which domestic sci
ence Sewing cooking, sanitation, etc. is taught
large units of time should be given in the sum-
mer and fall to sewing for the Red Cross and for
local charities.
Glasses for grown-up women should be
formed in which practical instruction can be CIV
en- largely by lecture and demonstration in the
conservation and economic of food.
For all boys and girls who not attend the
day sessions of the high schools continuation
classes 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 hav-
ing considerable numbers of immigrants, evening
schools should be maintained for them with class
es in English, in civics, and such other subjects
as will be helpful to these foreigners in under
standing our Industrial social, civic, and politi-
cal life'

not be so exorbitant that it will be
beyond the reach Of the masses to get
their just portion thereof, without ex-
hausting their whole energy to obtain
their small portion, with no energy
left for the myriad of other obliga-
tons expected of them in this crisis.
Mr.. Hoover speaks plainly on this
point when he says in his letter, "The
present excessive cost of food is not
justified. There is no corresponding
shortage of supply in America" It
seems that with all of our inyestigat-
ing committees, etc, little real prog
ress and relief has thus far been
brought to the great mass of the
American people. 1t seems like n.y.
pocrisy and irony to large mass of
wage earners, who are hardly able to
obtain sufficient food to keep from
feeling the pangs Of hunger and cloth
ing to keep their bodies properly pro-
tected-to ask such people from vast
ing supplies of food when they have
nothing to waste on account of mil
lionaires being allowed to heap up
more millions at the expense and op-
preston of the great mass OF common
people~who constitute our common
wealth, and all this oppression by the
wealthy carried on under the protec-
ton Of the American government.
AS Americans we would punish him
who would desecrate the American
nag by splitting on it. but he who by
his wealth Expresses the mass of
American people for his own aggran-
dizement is worse than he that spits
upon the flag. For in the one case
there is involved an emblem that
stands for the people while on the
other hand there is involved the prac-
teal and direct suffering Of the people
or objects represented by the emblem.
Let us all. personally, as far as in
us lies, endeavor to do all We can to
conserve and increase the food sup
ply and also most earnestly request
those in authority to use every oppor-
tunity available to help put an end
to food speculation and bring about
a direct cooperative system between
producers and consumers, as far and
as fast as practical.

The Price of Coal Goes Down

Hundreds Of consumers laid in their next
winters supply of coal at figure that was high
and that tested their pocketbooks to the limit!
Now they learn that the price of the fuel has
dropped and that they paid an exorbitant rate.
What can they do? Seemingly no hope is held
out. They must stand their loss and blame con-
ditions rather than their judgment 1t is a
shame that hundreds Of consumers in this city
cannot recover part of the differential that went
to swell the Golfers of the heartess persons re-
sponsible for the robbery. 1t may console some
of us to know that thousands of poor persons
next winter will be able to buy fuel at cost that
is not robbery They will benefit by the change.

Wood VS.. Wilson

Representative Wood took President Wilson
to task last Friday on the floor of the House for
entering the political fight that was waged in
the Sixth District between R. N Elliott and Fin
~ H. Gray the president, as was to be expected
supporting the Democratic nominee.
Many voters of the District resented the let
ter which the president wrote to Gray and which
the Democrats used as campaign material. The
voters argued that this fight concerned the
Sixth District and that national and international
problems did not enter into it. Their resentment
against Wilson showed itself in the heavy vote
against Gray
The president told voters, in his letter Of en-
dorsement that Gray had given the administra-
ton most generous and cordNA support
Wood in his speech answered: $50 anxious
was the president for the election of Mr. Gray
that he permitted memory for the time being to
fail him and his regard for the truthful state
ment of plain facts to be thrown into the discard
as the indisputable evidence amply discloses."
We believe the president should have stayed

TO the Editor:
Last Sunday. July 1, has been desig-
mated as Food Saving Day and it is
the desire OF Herbert Hoover, United
States food expert that every minis
ter and friend Of Truth exercise their
proper leadership, in the feeding Of
the world.
Last years wheat crop was short
and this years crop is still shorter
with an increased demand brought on
by the general world war conditions.
II therefore behooves every person to
avoid all waste so the utmost good
may be accomplished with what there
is at hand.
Many persons who cannot enter in
to full sympathy with the regular war
program can most earnestly enter in
to this struggle OF supplying a world
need and conserving life itself, regard
less Of how such need was brought
on.
There should be encoura cement CIV

Get Royal Welcome.
The first contingcnts of American
troops were greeted joyfully by the
population of this whole district.
The transports, whose expected ar.
rival had not been previously announc-
ed publicly, came streaming into the
harbor in long line at an early hour.
The news that the Americans were ar
irving spread with amazing rapidity
and by the time the troop ships drew
alongside the quays where the men
we're to disembark, thousands of per-
sons were on hand to greet them.
A wild welcome was shrieked by
whistles of craft in the harbor and
cries of "Vive La France" and "Vive
Etats Unis" seemed to come from ev-
cry throat in the crowd, which was
thickly dotted with the vari-colored
uniforms of French soldiers and sail
ors. Meanwhile the bands on the war
slips were playing the Star Spangled
Banner and the Marseillaise as the
American colors were hoisted to their
staffs.
The town soon took on holiday ap-
pearance and before the day was over
scores of American flags were flying
along with the Tri color Of France.
