sUFFRAGIsTs DEFEAT FERGUSON

Governor Ferguson who resigned as
governor of Texas some time ago to
prevent being removed from Office af-
ter impeachment, has been defeated
for denomination. The women of Tex
as vote in the primaries and Gov. Fer
guson's defeat is largely due to their
influence.
This action of the voters of Texas is
of interest to all of higher education
for this is the same Governor Fergu-
son who vetoed the appropriation bill
for the State University and tried to
dismiss members Of the board of cura-
tors of the institution and to expel
members of the faculty. All because
the institution could not be included
in the patronage schemes of the chief
executive.
Thus should it ever be with those
who seek to subordinate public well
fare to personal interest.

1.OOO MEN IN THRESHING CREW
Soldiers Clear Field I'm Hurry to Get
Drill Ground.
By Associated Press.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 5.-To the
strains of Bringing in the Sheaves, >
patriotic selections and martial airs
the largest threshing crew ever known
to work in one field in Indiana, recent
ly harvested seventeen acres of wheat
near the State School for the Deaf
The crew was composed of 1000 draft
ed men attending vocational training
school here.
The number of men at the school
had become so large that a suitable
drill ground was lacking. Nearby was
the seventeen-acre wheat field. The
owner offered the soldiers the use of
his field for drilling "ss soon as the
wheat was off," He did not have the
men and facilities for handling it, and
could not obtain help.
The commanding officer at the
training school told the farmer to or
der threshing machine into the field
at o'clcck the next morning and the
wheat would be taken care of regard
less of teams and wagons.
The farmer reported the threshing
outfit ready for work, and within a
few minutes 1000 young soldiers
marched into the field, headed by the
band. They were instructed to carry
the bundles of wheat to the thresher.
Since then the men have drilled in
the field.

THE NEW BOOKS
The Quest of the Face.

I'VE are all seeking a face. 1t may
own face as it ought to be, as we
could wish it to be, or the face that
we could love, or the face we once
caught a glimpse of and then lost in
the crowds and the cares. We seek a
face of such celestial loveliness that
it would be possible to fall down be-
fore it in the devotion of utter sacri-
fee. Some seek it desperately, others
seek it ever hopefully, some forget and
remember and then forget again and
remember again. -.
Each has his separate vision of the
face. And as there is an infinite num-
ber and diversity of mankind, so the
faces of the ideal are infinitely num-
erous and diverse. Yet as in truth
we are all one, so all these faces are
one, and all the loyeIiness is one love-
liness."

few weeks-the site Of a windmill
which the Washington family operat-

"It is well known" said Earl Spen-

GERMAN SCHOOLS

The public schools of the United
States have for the past half century
been trying to take on the same sort
of rigid efficiency that has character
lied the German schools. This is well
in part but not entirely satisfactory
in all respects.
For one thing we now see what the
German schools have done for Ger
many. If this same system is one of
the greatest instruments used by the
rulers of Germany in building up their
military state, is it the kind of system
that best serves the needs of a dem
ocracy?
The German school system is i'm
pressive to think about because it is
machine made and therefore uniform
throughout But is this best? Is such
a system adaptable to the needs of the
varying conditions in the different sec
tions of great state? Does it not tend
to subordinate special interests to
some general purpose probably entire
ly apart from the interest of those be-
ing educated.
The English system is not so inter-
esting to think of when interest is
primarily in the system of organiza-
ton. 1t is, however, tremendously in
teresting when one thinks of it in
terms Of its adaptability to local needs
and responsiveness to local interests. |
