TO UNDERSTAND THE ENGLISH.
An Overseas Press Center Has Been Es-
tablished in London.

London, July 27--In order "to faoili-
tate the study of the psychology of the
English people" the ministry of infor-
nation has established in its quarters
an overseas press center There, in com
fortably furnished clubrooms containing
reference library, newspapers and pc
riodicals, the representatives Of the press
Of allied and neutral countries will be in
close touch with the ministry.
In opening the center, Lord Beaver
brook, minister of information, said it
was important for the journalists to
understand the determination Of this
country to win the war. He urged that
advantage be taken OF the opportunities
that would be afforded to study the peo-
Pile. You will see" he said, that new.
er have we striven so hard, and you will
realize that the British people will per-
severe to the end Everything depends
on the will Of the people. The mental at
titude of munitions makers is as impor-
tant as that of the men who fight the
battles
TOO often" he said, "our correspond
ents pay over much attention to maps.
They Judge the position by the swaying
battle lines. When, however, you un-
derstand properly how the whole Brit
ish nation is straining every nerve to at
tain the one great end, and how set
backs only stiffen their resolution, then
only can you gauge the true posi-
tion of affairs. We hope by means of
this center to make such an understand
ing possible"
Newspaper correspondents from many
lands, including Japan, were present at
the opening.

France Speaks.

France Speaks.
"Do not let the needs Of the hour, how.
ever demanding, or its burdens, however
heavy, or its perils, however threatening,
or its sorrows, however heart breaking,
make you unmindful of the defense Of
tomorrow, of those disciplines through
which the individual may have freedom,
through which the institutions of civil
ization can be perpetuated and strength
ened, Conserve, endure taxation and
privation, suffer and sacrifice, to assure
TO those whom you have brought into
the world that it shall be not only a
safe but happy place for them"
This is Frances message, as reported
by John H. Finley, commissioner of edu.
cation Of New York state, in his report
on French schools in war time.
Also England.
For England, the Honorable H. A. L.
Fisher, president of the English board OF
education, who is in charge of pending
educational legislation of fundamental
significance, is quoted;
AT the beginning of the war, when
| first the shortage Of labor became appar.
emit, raid was made upon the schools, a
great raid, successful raid raid start
ed by large body Of unrehecting opin.
ion. The result Of that raid upon the
schools has been that hundreds Of thous.
ands of children in this country have
been prematnrely withdrawn from
school, and have suffered an irreparable
damage, damage which it will be quite
impossible for us thereafter adequately
to repair. That is very grave and
distressing symptom
demonstrating British Education.
Final place on the broadside is given
TO report Of the English committee on
| Juvenile education in relation to employ.
ment after the war, which says:
ANY inquiry into education at the
present juncture is big with issues OF
national fate. In the great work of re.
construction which lies ahead there are
aims to be set before us which will try
no less searchingly than war itself, the
temper and enduring qualities of oul
race and in the realization of each and
all Of these, education, with stimulus and
discipline, must be our standby. We
have to perfect the civilization for which
our men have shed their blood and oui
women their tears; to establish new
standards of value in our Judgment Of
what makes life worth living, more
wholesome and more restrained ideals
Of behavior and recreation, finer tradi
tions of cooperation and kindly fellow
ship between class and class and between
man and man.
"These are tasks for nation Of
trained character and robust physique, q
nation alert to the things Of the spirit
reverential of knowledge, reverential o.
its teachers and generous in its estimate
of what the production and maintenance,
of good teachers inevitably cost"

Trains Are Late.
Passenger trains on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
roads were all late this morning, ow-
ing to the express business, which is
unusually heavy this year. When
trains did not arrive on time many
thought. the snow storm had, delayed
them, but as yet the snow has not
drifted enough to cause any serious
trouble.
Express companies are working
overtime trying to get every package
out, but owing to the shortage of men
they are finding it a hard task. The
railroads are meeting this condition
as we'll as possible. Travelling is not
as heavy as last year., but at this time
it is the heaviest and, with the express
conditions to be met, it is not to be
wondered that trains are late: The
street a service was slightly off
schedule early this morning, but with
the snow shoyelers at work the tracks
were cleared and the cars have beer
