GROUND SCHOOLS FOR AIRMEN
 IN 4 UNIVERSITIES

Washington, Sept, 1.-The DiVt- sion of Military Aernautics has de- termined to concentrate the ground school training in four universities. namely, Princeton, the University of Illinois, the University of Cali fornia, and the University of Texas. The schools at Cornell, Ohio State University, and Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology have given excellent and efficient service, but the,r facilities are greatly needed for other war training. It has al- so been found that the ground school training for tho Air Service can De more efficiently and econ omically administered in smaller number of schools.
 This cutting down in the number of ground schools does not mean any curtailment of the training program, as the four remaining schools were greatly enlarged some tims ago to take care of all needs

hat IN the end Germany will be beaten is
a foregone conclusion. 1t became a definite
fixed fact on the day that America lined up
with the democratic nations of the world and
assumed her share of the freeman's burden,
pledging every atom of her immense resources
to halt the march of Prussian greed and plumber.
The problem Of the allies contains many fac
tors, but only one that is unknown namely, the
date when freedom, and justice, and night will
triumph, when the kaiser and his blood-mad
hordes will be crushed and humbled, and an en-
during peace will crown the victory of the allied
arms
This unknown factor, the length Of the war,
is complex and depends on many elements, of
which the most important are men, ships, NUM-
tons and food, and these are all expressable In
the one word---money. That, after all, is the
great force that must not on build and equip
the gigantic war machine, but must also furnish
its motive power. Money is the medium
throug which the various essentials must be
assembled and employed until every industry
and resource Of America is organized and de-
voted solely and exclusively the prosecution
Of the var:
- The Government has two ways of raising
the money, without which our whole structure
of defense will crumble and coLapse,---taxes and
bonds.
Taxes is an old familiar word and not very
popular one. 1t represents something that we
have to pay at distressingly frequent intervals
and for which we seldom feel that we receive
an adequate return
Of bonds we have had a less intimate knowl-
edge, confined mostly to Wall Street gossip and
stock reports The First and Second Liberty
Loans have given us better acquaintance with
the word and broader understanding Of what
1t means
We know that bonds represent an invest
ment that bears interest and are resource In
stead Of liability, and unquestionabiy we feel
more kindly disposed towards the bank that
sells us Liberty Bond than we do towards the
official who annually "holds us up for taxes.
That is only human. When we buy Liberty
Bond we get something Of real tangible value
for our money, nice, cracking piece of parch-
ment, highly engraved adorned with an impos-
ing seal and with crisp little coupons which we
can detach at stated intervals and cash any old
place. They surround us with an atmosphere
or attiuence and importance and put us IN the
"coupol-clpping" class that we have envied so
long.
Paying taxes, on the other hand, leaves us
with nothing much except dent in our bank
account and very ordinary slip Of pink paper
We put it away among varied assortment Of
store bills and fertilizer invoices and try our best
to forget about it, hoping against hope that
some small faction of the amount will be spent
to FIX the mud hole that we became "struck"
In d III way home.
b war chest must be replenished On
Az 9th the Government will try to raise the
nee. ny funds through Third Liberty Loan.
Il 1t Ills the only other alternative is to levy

SCOTLAND ASSURES
PLACE FOR GAELIC
Amendment Fer Teaching In Gaelic
Speaking Communities Added to
scottish Education Bill.

London. Engiand--The Scottish edu-
cation bill has not been quite so fortu-
nate as the English measure, since it
cannot at present call itself an act
But there IL no good reason to think
that it will not be placed upon the
statute book in the autumn, Mean
while the passage Of the measure
through grand committee has been
much expedited of late, and is now
safely accomplished. Several note
worthy discussions have taken place
during this stage: none. perhaps, OF
greater interest than that on Sir Al
pheus Morton's amendment to clause I,
which sought to make it obligatory on
education authorities to include in their
schemes adequate provision for teach
ing Gaelic in Gaelic speaking districts
r. Whyte supported the amendment
on literary grounds He drew atten-
ton to the remarkable collection of
poems and melodies which Mrs. Ken
nedy- Fraser, amongst others. had sue
ceeded in getting together during the
last few years in the Highlands and
the Outer Isles, He said that he spoke
solely out of an interest in the sub
ject, and in the belief that something
valuable would undoubtedly be lost il
the present policy of public neglect OF
Gaelic was continued in Scotland
Sir Donald Maclean thought it might
be assumed that children could best
begin their education In the language
which they understood The machinery
was already in existence. and they had
the approval of the education authori-
ties in Scotland. In this modest pro-
posal. they were asking much less than
had been granted to Wales.
Mr. Munro said that prma facie the
am endment made n strong appeal to
him. but it was necessary to guide
ones course by reasons that would
appeal to the educationist, and not to
be swayed purely by sentiments which
were natural to the Highlander, How
ever. he was not one of those who
would dismiss lightly any argument.
simply because it was founded on sen
timent, provided ii did not warn the
judgment Few things were more de-
plorablc than the death OF language,
particularly such a language as Gaelic,
which was intertwiued with the best
traditions of the soldier race in the
Highlands. and few things were more
desirable than to help to avert such
catastrophe Therefore he was not sur
prsed that he had received a petition
on this subject signed by $4,000 peo-
pie throughout the Highlands. he
sides countless letters. numerous reso-

urging him TO adopt the same course.
Nothing had struck him more than that
this proposal should have been pressed
upon him by educationalists of all
classes Having regard to these con-
sideratlous and having given the best
thought he could TO the matter. he was
prepared to accept the amendment and
he hoped that that course would have
the approval Of the committee The
amendment was agreed to without a di~
vision
