THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM


When ones house is on fire it is
hardly worth while to stop to criti-
cize the cook, and so until we put the
fear of God into the heart of Bill
Kaiser it may show a lack of the
sense of proportion to talk about ed
ucational institutions or systems.
However, when / see the forlorn
Brother Benjamin so valiantly de-
Tending his works against the onset
not only of mere man, but also against
the more dangerous sex, armed with
loneliness, logic and hatpins, l know l
should volunteer under his banner
To show that my heresies are not
some passages from an article I wrote
for the Hastings (Mich.) journal,
some twenty-five years ago, when it
cost more to be hereto than it does
now, and my criticisms then and now
are directed not against individuals,
but against a system which I con-
ceive to be faulty.
Just as I disagree with most OF
current theology, yet had rather fish
with a preacher than a sinner. | dis
agree with our medical men and tell
them that medicine is not a science,
merely an art. That it should be pre-
yentative, not curative, and that now
it depends largely upon the supersti-
tions of the public; people who think
they can overeat for a period of many
years and then get some pills of the
doctor and be cured. 1t can't be done
and the doctors know it better than l,
yet when illuminate against them
they stand the gaff like the bunch of
good sports which they are.
/ think that law as interpreted by
our lawyers, often defeats justice and
tell them that real laws cannot be
put in force by enactment; they must
first be discovered. Yet for all that
believe that many lawyers ought not
to be hung until they've had time to
repent.
The quotations from my letter of
twenty-five years ago do not have as
close application now as when made.
The world does move, and the system
while yet faulty is much improved.
True science which is only another
name for boiled down common sense
has only become coherent within the
last fifty years, since Charles Darwin
aided by.his colleagues Spencer, Hux-
ley, Tyndall and others elaborated the

Claude y. Bennett, manager Of the
congressional information bureau at
Washington, who with his wife re-
Gently visited Florida on a brief va
cation, says of Senator Fletcher:
The man who has done more than
any other man in public life to start
off, straighten out, clarity and give
impetus to shipbuilding is Florida's
senior senator, Duncan U. Fletcher. 1t
is everywhere conceded that ships are
the greatest need of the war. Senator
Fletcher is the congressional pioneer
of legislation to build up the Ameri-
can merchant marine. Way before we
thought of getting into the war he
introduced the first bill to create an
American merchant marine, through
a shipping board. If that bill had been
allowed to pass instead of being talk
ed to death, our shipbuilding program
would be two years ahead in the great
strides it is now making. There are
no words that can tell how much this
would mean in the winning of the
war. Senator Fletcher introduced and
pressed to passage the bill on COM
merce, he has conducted the investi-
cations that opened up the situation
at Hog island, discovered errors of
management at other yards, and led
to much needed corrections. This
craftsmanship and his strong. sense of
how to be useful make him the right
bower of the administration in all
matters relating to shipping, river
and harbor Improvement, and COM
merce generally. Senator Fletcher is
| likewise member of several other
important committees"

THROWING
BECOME PART OF 4
~" FIELD MEETS

San Francisco. CAL, May S.-The
announcement that the University Of
Washington has fallen in line with a
number of other institutions and in
the regular field vents has renewed
the discussion as to the probable after
effects of the war IN athletics. There
are followers of track and field sports
who Express the opinion that there
may .be'a revision In the lists Of events
by the inclusion of more unitarian
events to replace those which have no
particular usefulness.
{, "A former Princeton University ath-
lete in speaking of the matter said:
s'The case of the. hand grenade
throwing contest is a good example
of what may follow. 1t would in all
probability supplant the shot put or
~javelin throw. The shot put is not
an all round developer in my opin-
ion. 1t builds only a small portion Of
the body, confined particularly to the
arm and shoulder muscles of the hand
used in hurting the missile. No ac-
curacy is required. distance being the
only thing to be attained by the con-
testant. Ere '
Grenade throwing calls for both
distance and accuracy. 1t also would
be a unitarian event for the reason
that thousands of young men Incl
dentally would be learning now to
throw a missile which has become one
Of the most important weapons Of Of
Tense and defense in modern var
fare" $500
The hammer is another event for
which a substitution might be effect
ed by borrowing from the list ,of
events used in military games. There
is nothing particularly spectacular in
events for the onlooker such as is, at
forded. for instance. by the pole vault,
one of the most thrilling of he pres
ent field events. Javelin throwing as
an event in the days. when men fought
with rrows and spears would have
served the same. purpose as grenade
throwing today. But the javelin is
now obsolete. n
1t is not likely that anyone wants
to do away with the spectacular, but
events which are neither spectacular
nor of any. particular use might be
supplanted with competition which
furnished "a little of, both these .ele-
ments. h.
