Germany would face this terrible
situation:
First, her army would be threatened
from the rear from the Belgian coast
to Vetdun, her lines of communication
would be in danger, and there would
be no safety in a retreat which stopped
short of complete evacuation o. Bel
gian and French soil.
Second Essen, with the great Krupp
plants, Crefeld, Barman and other i'm
pOrtant munition centers, all less than
forty miles from the Holland border
would be within twenty minutes air
plane flight and subject to constant
bombing
Third, the Kiel canal, less than 100
miles away, would be subject to con-
slant destructive air raids.
Fourth, the British navy, using the
Dutch coast as a base, would seriously
threaten Heligoland and force the U
boats to restrict their activities to the
North Sea and the Atlantic.
Finally, Germany would have a
new set of lines, more than 200 miles
long, to defend. This would call fo1
q million German troops, obtainable
only by calling out the last reserves
and weakening the French and Rus
sian fronts to the breaking point
There is Of course danger that Hol-
land, forced into the war, may go with
Germany, but the chances are so great
she will side with the allies, and the
advantages are so enormous, that the
allies are more than justified in run
ming the risk"

TREES.
Il think that | shall never see
A poem lovely as d tree,

II think that | shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree,
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast;
"A tree that looks at Cod all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest Of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems. are made by fools like me
But only God can make tree

MICHIGAN STATE FAIR.

Michigan's State Fair has been
setting the pace for Agricultural Ex-
positions of it's kind in the Middle
West for several years and its fame
has spread through the principal ag-
ricultural and cattle raising section
of the country.
This year, however, the State Fair
is to be an object lesson for the di-
rectors of the largest Fair in the larg-
est state in the union. Texas with its
broad fertile valleys and wide graz
ing plains is coming to Detroit this
fall to learn how Michigan makes its
Fair such success.
Directors of the Texas State Fair
at Dallas have selected R. f. L.
Knight, its president, and w. II. STRAIT
ton, the secretary, as delegates to the
Michigan Exposition. Mr.. knight is
lawyer of enormous agricultural
and other holdings, who is firm be-
lever in the unlimited possibilities of
his State in agriculture. He is a
student of farming and an orator of
pronounced ability.

Good Things Come True.

You are perhaps expecting some
great and wonderful thing to happen;
but you will find that true progress
comes from doing faithfully and well
the little, everyday things that come
to you. Truly great things do not drop
into peoples lives. They are built up
of little things faithfully done.

THE FAULTS OF OUR SCHOOLS.

What, specifically, is the matter
with our schools? Ernest G. Moore,
professor of education in Harvard
university, tries to answer that ques-
ton in the Yale Review He finds
that the schools, under the plea that
they are trying to develop the mind, "
teach useless information.
He complains that children are
required to know how many rods
make an acre, and how many cubic
inches in a gallon" They are drilled
in bank discount, longitude and time,
compound proportion, aliquot parts
and cube root" and other subjects
for which many of them will never
find any use. Students are trained
in the addition of numbers of six or
seven figures. Yet" says a man
quoted by Prof. Moore, speaking of
his child, Il find that she cannot null
tiply 8 by Z, nor subtract 9 from ID,
nor divide GA by g."
Grammar is under attack. Inves-
tigators claim that it is useless-that
correct speech-use can be taught with
out it. A test of geographical knowl-
edge, cited by Prof. Moore, showed
that about 8 per cent of a number of
elementary school pupils passed it,
about per cent of the high school
students, and only one out of SO nor
NAL school students.
1t is objected that Latin is trans
lated into bad English because high
schools, preparing for college, are
aware that the colleges like literal
translations. Prof. Moore cites high
school translation of Caesar: "At the
setting of the sun, many wounds hav-
ing been given and received, Caesar
withdrew from battle" 1t is cor
rect translation of the Latin words;
but he points out that in English it
ought rather to be spoken: "At sunset,
after bloody engagement"
The conclusion to which Prof.
Moore is forced is that people think
studies are good mot because we use
them, but because they have magic
powers" He says: "We must set
ourselves to the task of working out
a new program of studies which shall
train our students to think the
thoughts and do the things which folks
who live as we want to live must
think and do" And he finds that this
is the same conclusion that was reach
ed by Plato, nearly $500 years ago.
On the physical side, DR.. Boris Sidis
argues that our present system of
public school education, in spite of
e,xyy,o N a ci,,poc apd n1ayororpdc ic nm
healthful. "No doubt" he says, "the
examining, the routine, the rote, the
mental and moral tyranny of the
principal and school superintendent
tend to nervous degeneracy and men
tai breakdown" His scholastic OPP
ponents are "poor old college owls,
academic barnyard fowls and worn
out sickly school-bats." He is pic
turesque, even when he is vitupera-
tive; but he has been brought to ex-
ASPIRATION by his study of the Amer
lean school system and its effect on
American boys and girls.
Wide-awake educators are study
ing the problem and experimenting
with changes. 1t behooves school
boards and those directly in charge of
education to watch these experiments,
and institute as soon as possible those
changes which appear beneficial. 1t
is certain that education must under
go a radical revision within the next
few years, and it will not do to be be-
midland in improving it.-Detroit

FINED SIS FOR VIOLATION
OF AUTO LAW IN THIS CITY

Charged with having placed a fic-
titious license plate in the front of hts
automobile Ignatz Weiss, of 232 Hall
avenue, was today arrested on COM
plant Of State Automobile Inspector
III. G.. Burton and caused to pay a
fine of $25 and costs. Mr.. Burton
said Weiss had used a hand painted
number sign, on the forward part of
his car, in violation of the law, which
he claimed to be one of the most Sc
rious crimes under the automobile
laws.
There have been similar cases
about the county in which auto own
ers have bought one registration and
placed the two license plates, one on
each car making a home made sign
in order to have the plates on a car.
These have been punished severely
and Inspector Burton states more
vigilance will be used in pursuing such
violators.
He Is about to open a crusade in
this section against the use of metal
mo glare" contraptions. They were
recognized up to the first day of jan
uary last, but are now ruled out. The
kind objected to consist of metal
shapes clasped to electric light bulbs.
The cheapest DINNERS allowed are

lower half of electric light lens and

EXPLOSION LIKELY THIS
AFTERNOON IN ASSEMBLY
1ae ETENING NEWa

TO the EVENING NEWS. '--
Trenton, March 14--With the cai-
endar in both branches of the legisla-
ture loaded with important bills and
with recess for one week preparatory
to { final adjournment, tentatively
scheduled for Friday of next week,
both houses '1oafed on the job" to-
day. Each branch was to meet at IL
O'Clock, but it was 1850 when the
assembly was called to order and the
senate did not meet until afternoon,
owing to the lack of a quorum.
Speaker Schoen did not arrive at the
State House until nearly noon. The
lack of real legislative dispatch and
actual attention to business has been
noticeable the past two or three
weeks.
Disguised with the tactics of the
House of Assembly in subordinating
all matters to the consideration of
the administration bills and some Es-
sex county measures introduced by
Speaker Schoen, the Democratic ma
jority caucussed this morning to con-
slider the situation.
AS the result of the conference 1t
is likely an explosion will take place
on the floor of the House this after
noon. Democratic Leader Geran was
not ready to say what form this out
break would take. He pointed out
that the assembly is the peoples
house" and that more consideration
should be given to the bills of the
different members.
One hundred and fifty bills are on
the speakers desk today for consid-
Grafton and Apnumber of them were
introduced by Democrats.

mean war at present, State Depart

Germany is making her acts conform
with her threats.
