The first lesson taught by the war
relates to the education of all our peo-
pie. The American public school system
has long been the subject Of intense
encomium; but the school, though pub
lie and free, is school for only small
share of American children. According
to statistics compiled for no less than
1886 American cities, only So out of
every 1000 pupils who begin the first
grade of the elementary school COM
plete the four years Of the high school,
The history of the American youth, in
passing through the teens, like that
of defeated army in retreat, is marked
by the values it throws away.
The lesson for us is the very lesson
which England herself is learning with
terror that the uneducated masses are
a danger to the state and to its future
America should see to it that all her
children are educated in way worthy
of democratic, responsible citizenship.
A mighty reinforcement should be
given TO the intellectual parts of our
system. That system is indeed weak,
uninspiring. unrelated, disjointed,
wasteful, Ineffective. 1t should be
made vigorous, quickening, compact,
economical 1t should not be content
with being merely intellectual 1t
should be made also ethical, social.
moral, touching the conscience, moving
the will, inspiring the heart, as well as
giving discipline to the intellect 1t
should inculcate the Importance of the
principles OF justice, honesty, modera-
ton, self-respect, and temperance. II
should, indeed, seek to give under
standing of mysteries, to inspire to
proper sacrifice. and to give power
unto the removal of mountains; but
il should also know that love is mightier

A Blistering Blessing.

AT American Lake cantonment a
soldier recently received a pair of
socks knitted by his sweetheart. Or
dered out at once on long hike, he
put on the new socks and started. After
few miles he began to have foot
trouble, but managed to limp along a
short distance farther, when the pain
grew so severe that he was compelled
to drop out.
The surgeon examined the foot. and
could not see what had caused the
trouble The sock felt alright too. At
last he turned the sock inside out and
found a small wad of paper. When it
was smcothed out he found written on
the paper:
God bless your poor tired feet

II is true that the German methods
have aroused intense anger, and the
provocation to strike back by any means
is obvious. The German treatment of

the greatest obstacles to future peace.

even more stupid than wicked, because

Suffrage fer women has won 10y a
huge and unexpected majority in New

that it would win at all, yet the
majority is now estimated at nearly

anti that the contest is in vain, and
that the effort would be more useful il
