PRACTICAL EDUCATION

To fit young people to make their
way in the world, careful work with
Z the spelling book and with penman-
ship is needed. Many Of the most sue
cessful men are exceedingly poor writ
n ers and they may be poor spoilers. But
VI Tor the average person, bad handwrit.
Ing and spelling give such an i'm
n preston of illiteracy as to be dis.
tinct handicap.
Penmanship instruction is often not
practical. Some systems lay great
stress on ability to write fast. Book
keepers and accountants need to
write fast, but to most other people
the important thing is not speed, but
m TO write memoranda and brief notes
ss 70 as to be clearly legible, and give
an impression Of business competence.
sgE To spend a long time teaching the
& man who is going to run machine,
4 or the girl to run a typewriter, to
write rapidly with the hand, is highly
\ impractical.
Many of the worst difficulties we
meet in community life are due to the
fact that the young people have never
h been educated up to the principles of
social science. They have not learn
ed the basic principl that lead to
civic prosperity and advance.
The first principle OF social science
rs that we are all members of a com.
muhity, the progress and success of
4 which depend upon the existence
among all Of its members of spirit
Of cooperation and community eff
4 fort Many of our towns never go
ahead because the people never learn
ed to cooperate, and never acquired
any civic and community spirit.
One of the most important and prac-
y teal things the young folks have to-
learn In school is just this truth OF
scivics. They need to know something
shout community life, what makes
some towns go ahead and others sta
SiOnary. how we must all take hold
I'D work for public causes.

Starving to Death in Russia

ciated Press.)-Infant mortality in
Petrograd has increased 50 per cent.
School Statistics show from 81 to 81

vided from foreign countries.
Figures on adult mortality are not

rived here from Petrograd, starva-
ton is claiming thousands, especial

In Moscow the situation is critical,
but slightly better than in Petro-

HunLand Hurries
to Democracy as
Peace Dove Fits

Paris, Oct. IL. - Semi-official
summaries from comments in the
German press, issued tonight, in
dictate that Germany, in answer to
the demand for an evacuation Of
occupied territory, will ask as an
Offset the evacuation of German
colonies and occupied Turkish
territory. According to some Ger
man newspaper comments, Prince
Macmillan will have no difficulty
in announcing the adoption with
out restriction of President Will
sons program.
Germany apparently is hurry
ing to appear to be a democratic
state. Political amnesty will be
announced. new governor will
be appointed for Alsace-Lorraine.
Martial law will be modified and a
liberal minister of war will be
named. The whole movement is
expected to result in the estab-
lishment of responsible ministry,
which is said to be only a veneer.
The rumor persists that these
ministerial and governmental re-
adjustments have been undertaken
with the view of causing the allies
to regard Germany as democratic
and to welcome her reply.
