When the "Asses"
Awaken

L is beginning to dawn on the German
mind that moral forces weight the scales
of war; but the Germans are bound in their
Mephistophelian bonds. They sold their
conscience to their General Staff and they
have to pay its wages. Before the war Won
Bulow described the German people as
political asses" and hoped that the OK
perience which needed to teach them
wisdom would not prove too severe Their
political folly consisted in their subser-
vience to militarist philosophy and a mill
tarst rule. To-day the German press is
vociferating against the idea of leaving il
to their General Staff to decide the terms
of peace; it would have been we'll for the
Germans had they never left it to their
General Staff to determine the outbreak Of
war.-London Neacs

ITO What Elements the Hun
l. Addresses Himself

In view of such things one cannot
the military situation should be known
as widely as possible. The enemy's APP
peal to be saved from the just conse-
quences of his crimes is addressed to
three forces-avarice, fatigue and ig-
norance. These alone can support him.
With avarice-that is, financial intrigue
One can only deal by exposure. With
fatigue one can only deal by persuasion
But with ignorance one can deal by.
recital of facts which all can under
stand. 1t is greatly to be desired-and
| have said it over and over again in
the last four years, and it is not yet too
late-lt is greatly to be desired that
public authorities in each Allied country
should publish those truths on the mill
tary situation which are known to enemy
authorities as we'll as our own, but
which our public is not generally told
For instance, how many American
citizens who may read this appreciate
that the number of American soldiers
landed in Europe in six weeks is SUI
perior TO the whole German recruitment
Of one year? How many know that in
order to stop the Americans and French
IN the Champagne quarter all the NOV
able German divisions were moved, and
yet the effort of the enemy failed?
What the reply to the encmy's peace
appeal may be by the time this appears
none can yet tell. But | repeat that if
merely the elements of the military sit
uation were publicly appreciated in the
Allied countries by civilian opinion the
reply to that appeal would be as certain
as it would be simple. The Prussian
government tells US that if we demand
justice and refuse its cry for mercy
it will act as they did after a similar
offer in 1916"
They cannot, and for four reasons.
First, there is no collapse like that of
Russia III prospect; second, they have
not the mon; third they are losing de-
pcndents and servants; fourth, in 1916
they had still proved in practice capable
of holding a defensive line, to-day in
practice they fail to hold it.

evelling Up the Free
s1 People s Schools

Nor does the act touch our ancient public
SCHOOLS, like Eton and Harrow and Win
chester. The object will be not to interfere
win what you would call high schools and
BOARDING schools, but to level up the free
Peoples schools until they are as good as
WIG institutions where fees are charged
'''u hrst we must improve the salaries of
"achers. In 1914 the average pay of a
'"aie teacher in our state schools was only
WV year. Head teachers received 5000
year. Women earned only $3.50 a year, or
'0' mead teachers $3.50 year. To Ameri-
N'"S these figures are incredible. But

at England Is Doing for Her Schools

The machinery of the act is simple. Edu-
cation is managed by counties and large
cities, each with a council, working under
central department in London Roughly,
have spent s12oooo,ooo year
on our state schools. Half this money is
paid out Of imperial taxes and the other
half is found locally by rates on property.
Mr.. Fisher now asks each county or city
to prepare complete scheme for approval.
He thus encourages variety and expert
ment Most of the additional cost will be
met by the Treasury. The old plan of pay
ing schools according to the results of ex-
aminations is dropped. The most useful
school may be dealing with the most back
ward pupils. The tendency is thus toward
a more centralized finance, and this ten
dency is welcomed by the Labor party.

citing Close to
~ the Ideal

Many of would like to see free high
schools universal in England. The con-
tinuation class, added to the existing state
school, will bring US very near to that
ideal especially if a proportion of places
in fee-paying schools are thrown open to
the poor children. The aim will be to sift
out ability and reserve it for the UNIVERSE
ties. After the war the state will REQUIRE
an immense army of civil servants, trained
in languages, history, science, and, above
all, in the ideals of citizenship. In 1914
we had 10000 doctors of all kinds MANY
of these men have retired, and the figure
does not include dental surgeons An ap-
palllng mass Of disease was aggravated by
sheer neglect. In years to come we must
double our medical help, sadly overworked
at the moment and depleted by military
eXlgencles. If our commerce is to recover
1t must be served by the highest intellect.
And if we are to hold influence in lands
like India we must be able to furnish a
constant supply of workers, who will de-
vote their lives not to making money, but
to carrying out public purposes. Any re-
sponsibiites undertaken by Britain in
other fields like the Ottoman Empire
will add to the force of this argument.
With six and half million men in the
army and navy, and many other millions
working on munitions, we are bound to
think out the problem of reconstruction,
years 1t may be in advance of the neces-
sity. Any mistake here would throw mill
ions into unemployment and provoke dam
gcrous unrest. If time should come
when people will want work we think that
we cannot do better than set them to i'm
prove our schools by adding new space
where needed and filing up the gaps. The
war to-day absorhs all our efforts, and our
men will not come home until Germany is
beaten; but when they do, that, we think.
will be the time to remove all children
from industry, and so make places for
their fathers, their unclcs and their elder
brothers. We do not want the German
system where every young brain is moulded
in the same way-to think the same
thought. But we do hope that by patient
effort we may gradually ameliorate defects
