greatest railroad system, we cannot
devise how to handle our freight
equipment so as to keep the necessi-
ties Of life in motion. Worn with
years of friction between labor and
capital, we must come to the brink
of nationwide strike before we sue
coed in frantically finding a tempo
rary respite only. With our yaunted
capacity for results, we sit year after
year with helplessly folded hands and
watch the price of everything soar
beyond the reach Of almost every
body.
Why do we not settle our pressing

US? Don't we care picayune wheth-

we unwillingly admit our lack of ca.
pacity to think our way out of ou]
difficulties? The question challenge.

We certainly care; but we are woe

US really is that we have never as
people learned low TO tackle GU
problems, as the football playe
learns to tackle the pigskin, and t
master them. We have not been edu
Gated to dig out problems. We do no
know how to go about it to thin

generation that is to follow us in tn

and fundamentally wrong, and need

paredness collected during those years
from people who had been at least |
eight years in the hands of public
school teachers, would appall any Sc
rious investigator. The conclusion is
irresistible that our system of educa-
ton has failed to do for these people
the one thing which is the excuse
for its existence. 1t has failed to ed

achieve success in life. It has not

The worst of it is that the schools
are continuing to grind out more of
the same type. The expression grind
| out is used advisedly. The school
work is a grind, mechanical rota-.
ton, and it turns out mechanical pro-
ducts inevitably. The pupil will run
smoothly so long as he is IN the ac-
customed rut and encounters no OBJ
stacle. Let anything happen, and
some one will have to pull him out
and set him in motion, for he does
not know how to help himself.

RARE MUSICAL EVENT.
Program to Be Presented by Les
Instruments Anciens as Benefit,

A musical event of rare historic i'm
portance is scheduled to be held at
Rauscher's on the afternoon of Feb
ruary 4. when the organization known
as Les Instruments Anciens will pre-
sent program. 1t is known otherwise
as The Society of Ancient Instruments,
it's object being to gather together the
violins which were most used in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,
and to reconstruct the ensemble of
sounds used by the composers of that
period. The instrumental grouping
most used was the quartet of violins
with the addition of the harpsichord.
1t is said the compositions for this en-
semble had a character which is imper-
fectly reproduced by the instruments
of today.
The musical by the society here will
be for the benefit of French artists in
jured in the war. Many of those who
will appear are French soldiers on spe-
cial leave OF absence from the trenches.
They are here under the patronage of
the French-American Association for
Musical Art. and the musical in this
city will be given under distinguished
local auspices.

Announce Their ENGAGEMENT.

This is engagement time" in Pi Beta
Phi. one of the most exclusive sorori-
ties at George Washington University.
Three fair members, at a recent ''en-
gagement party not only announced
their engagements. but gave the names
of their fiances. Two more blushingly
announced that they. too. were be-
spoken-but they said they preferred
to withhold the names of the SWANS.
They said that perhaps there might be
some slip-that they might wed these
particular men, and then again they
mightnt. Safety first. they said, was
their motto. and they preferred not to
give the names until the wedding bells
were really ready to ring.
The three girls who ARE certain"
and who gave the names of their
f1ances are Miss Elizabeth Wilbur,
daughter of Dean William Allen Will
bur of the university, who is to wed
Cadet Lyman Parks. U. s. A.: Miss Ell
