PRACTICAL EDUCATION NO. 2

But if the old time study of arithmetic
had little value for direct use in work, it
did have other uses.
Arithmetic, particularly mental arith-
metic, makes people good reas0ners.
When we were given those old tanglers
about how many sheep man would have
if he had half as many again and so on,
to be determined only after long and tor
tuous processes, fellow had to do some
thinking. The long practice on this type
of problem made the graduates of the lit.
tie Red School House mentally alert. The
long examples in interest and fractions
made the inaccurate. They learned to
perform all processes with methodical
precision, gift that the graduates Of
modern schools do not always have.
For training in mental alertness and
accuracy, arithmetic is one of the corner
stones of practical education. Algebra
and geometry are great deal more SER
viceable and developing along this line
than most people realize. Practical edu-
cation means turning out young people
who can think things out straight for
themselves, and no subject is better for
that than mathematics.
Inc Olu Ilnle SCHOOLS OVefulu geOSrd-
ply. It has some effect to broaden the
mind. But the interminable memory
work in learning rivers of China and the
mountains Of South America was mostly
lost time. Much of the information could
be given as reading lesson.
Old fashioned education placed great
emphasis on teaching people to read with
intelligent infections and clear enuncia
ton. It was fine accomplishment, yet
not very practical. The modern ten6en.
cy toward written work leaves some edu-
Gated people so they can not read any
thing without stumbline. We have gone
from one extreme to the other. Pracric-
al education will not attempt to make its
young folks elocutionists. But it will in
sist that they be able to read aloud so
they can be understood.

WINNING THE WAR-HIGH
EXPLOSIVES

When there occurs a disaster in a
munitiOn plant like the explosions at
Perth Amboy, N. j., popular sentiment
lays it to Hun spies. No doubt they have
caused many tragedies. It will be safe
for the secret service to act as if they
caused them ALL But that won't solve
the whole problem.
Explosives are made up of substances
which when subjected to heat orcertaln
kinds Of shock, promptly 60 to pieces,
yielding mostly gaseous products and
iberating large quantities Of heat. These
gases expanding with inconceivable rap
idity create the power, which when con-
fined within the barrel Of a firearm,
throws the bullet or shell a long distance.
The great practical difficulty, is in
finding combinations that will be secure
against change or deterioration until the
moment comes to apply the heat or shock.
Explosives are usually composed Of sub
stances that absorb heat when they are
formed, and this heat is liberated when
they decompose.
So it happens that if small portion
of these explosives in storage begin to
break down from any cause, heat is liber-
ated, creating an explosion. Many of the
mysterious disasters in munition plants
resulted from this spontaneous deconlpo-
sition. An instance of extreme liability
is given by nitrogen iodide, which other
wise would have great possibilities in
warfare. 1t will blow up if touched by
feather, and sometimes go off merely
after friction with air when being moved
from one place to another.
Considering our scientists are work
ing with new combinations, it is remark
able that there have not been more explo-
sions. These have seemed less frequent
as the war has gone on. A great body Of
the best chemists are working on the pro-
blem Of safeguarding our munition work
ers and our soldiers while, handling these
treacherous materials.

WHO ARE THE REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA?

We have learned something about
what the people have. determined relative
to the issues Of the war. Fortunately the
people in. this republic have constitutions
ally established avenues of expression Of
their views and are not dependent upon
the announcements of private groups or
any guess work as to their opinions by
anyone. Under the provisions Of our ma
tional constitution we have in this coun-
try two bodies directly representative Of
notional public opinion. One Of these Is
known as the House Of Representatives
and the other as the United States Sem
ate. Together these constitute the Con-
gress Of the United States. Coming di-
rectly from the people of the several
states and districts, directly responsible
to them, and presumably familiar with
what their constituencies are saying and
thinking, this body is the authoritative
channel of expression of the desires and
purposes of the people. 1t is therefore
unnecessary, under our form of govern
ment to depend upon the outgivings of
any class conscious group or wing, or any
particular faction or party, or cult, in
reaching conclusion as to what the peo-
pie actually desire. For this expression
Congress has been provided. If true to
it's intended functions as coordinate
branch Of government, this body will give
expression, when occasion arises, to the
will of the people respecting economic and
political questions of national and inter-
national import. In countries like Rus
STA any extra legal body may arise ard
profess to represent the people. To the
extent to which popular government is
denied or restricted in other countries,
this same principle may apply. But m
the United States we have full manhood
suffrage, at least in all the states con-
trolled by the Republican party. There
fore we have regular, constitutional
method of arriving at public opinion, and
a method to which, as loyal Americans,
we all owe allegiance.-The National Re-
publican.

RATIONING GASOLINE.

When you read about the enormous
fleet Of motor trucks to be put to work
in France, it is evident that the drain on
the gasoline supply is going to be enor-
nous. And our great airplane force must
have another vast supply.
Sharp restrictions upon the use Of gas
Oline in this country seem inevitable. The
government of course will not permit
great quantities of gas to be used in plea
sure riding if the army work is being held
up for lack Of motive power. IT would
not be at all surprising to see pleasure
riding pretty nearly stopped before the
war is over.
Our joy riders can stand it for short
time. There are plenty of people who run
cars 10000 miles year just for pleasure.
And they may not take long tours at that.
With 200 or 300 miles every week and
holiday, several shorter rides through
the week, and lot Of little excursions on
summer evenings just to cool off, it is not
a difficult thing, with smooth purring
motor, to run off 10000 miles.
If the car is burning up gallon of
gasoline every ten miles, its consumption
of 1900 gallons year would carry an ar
my truck some distance.
AS to the fresh air necessary to
mans health, the fellow who runs his car
5000 or 1000 miles year can get a lot
OF it. Pleasant country scenes within
twenty-five miles of his home town are
just as refreshing as those one hundred
miles away Some of us would have a
lot better health if we would walk to and
from business, instead of feeling the ir-

on beast must cart us every step. So
there is plenty Of chance to save gasoline
for army use, without interference with
the well being of the people. If people
will restrict their pleasure riding reason
ably, the government will not be forced
to regulate the use of gasoline so dras-
tically as otherwise is inevitable.
