COMPULS sorry EDUCATION
ON SOCIAL LINES URGED
DR.. John Dewey Would Have Toeas

for National Army. i

CHICAGO. January 36.-Compulsory
education along social lines OF all mem
and women between the ages OF eightA
cen and twenty years. carried ont an
much the same way the National Army
is being trained. was urged by Dn John
Dewey of Columbia University. New
York. in an address last night before
the Vocational Education Society OF
the middle west in convention herA
DR.. Dewey suggested that after the
war the National Army cantonmeuts
be used as great centralized schools
where men and women would be COM
PEELED to study all branches Of voca-
tional education. together with mill
tary training. and that the teachers be
trained in special schools similar to the
officers reserve training camps.
Such a plan would revolutioni1e the
present social system" he said. while
the strong men were taking military
training, the physical weaklings could
be trained in other lines. 1t also would
provide training for women. who ere
completely left out OF universal mill.
tary training plans.
"Our present system Of education 1g
inefficient, and in planning universal
military training we must plan for

zone Plan RAPIDLY
/ Being FORMULATED.
Only Soft Coal Affected.
Producing and Consuming
Districts to Be Formed.
FOR SUMMER RESERVES

| Fuel Administrator Harry A. Gar
| fields plan for equitable and scientific
distribution of coal is taking shape
rapidly. The country has been divided
into twenty producing districts. with
representative of the fuel admins
traitor in charge of each. and within
few days division of the country into
consuming districts will be announced
The plan. or zone system as 1t is
designated. applies only to bituminous
coal. The area producing anthracite
coal is so small and its. distribution
necessarily SO widespread that it Is not
practical to regulate it in the same
way as bituminous, which is produced
in many parts of the country.
To Prevent Cross-Hauling.
The chief purpose of the zone system
is to prevent cross-hauling, and thus
eliminate unnecessary tax on transpor-
tation facilities. Each producing dis
trict will have a designated territory
which it will supply, and when the con-
suming districts are outlined, each
such district will be told from which
producing district it shall get its sup
plies. No deviation from this program
will be permitted, except by special or
der of the fuel administration in Wash
ington.
When the consuming districts are ar
ranged, each state will be assigned its
proporuonate amount of coal and will
be required to keep within it's allow
ance. If the amount allowed is not
sufficient to meet demands. savings will
haye to be effected through the cutting
off of coal to non-essential industries.
mo coal will be permitted to be taken
from one state and given to another
without a special order from the fuel
administration, and such orders will be
issued only when there Is a showing
of absolute necessity.
Distribution of coal in the several
states is to he left to the state admins
traters. The district representatives will
not Interfere with the state admins
traitors in their discharge of this duty.
The job of a district representative will
be to see that the coal is kept moving,
that it is prorate damong the state in
accordance with the allotment, and that
no coal goes to a. district it is not in
tended for.
Evening star., 1918-01-26
For Two Weeks Reserve of Coal.

consuming centers it is the aim of the
fuel administration that there shall be
on hand at all times two weeks supply.
In explaining the plan DIR. Garfield
said:
There must be a reserve supply of
at least two weeks in all Of the big
centers that are likely to be hit by
coal shortage or tie-up of the railroads.
This reserve should be fed, even in
times Of emergency, up to the last min
ute the elements shut down on the trans
portation. 1t will not be a reserve for
all of the coal users of the city; but
will provide for all emergencies, like
the private consumers. the poor people
and the necessary utilities"
Evening star., 1918-01-26
To Create Reserves During Summer.

To prevent a situation arising next
winter similar to the one that has just
forced shutdown of industries, fuel
administration officials plan to create
in the summer reserves in every con-
suming center. These would not be
touched except in cases Of emergency,
and then they would be replaced when
the emergency was over.
The district representatives in every
instance will be operators or men IA
miliar with coal production. They will
allot all orders received from state
fuel administrators and will be made
responsible for the prompt movement
of coal out of the producing fields. All
demands for emergency coal will go
directly to them.
for periodical reports from the produc-
ing district representatives as to the
amount of coal each district Is mining.
These will be turned over to J. d. A.
Morrow. the coal expert just named by
Fuel Administrator Garfield as manager
of distribution and apportionment, who
will make up budgets for each con-
suminE district on reports from state
fuel administrators.
Evening star., 1918-01-26
Chief Difficulty in Zone System.

The chief difficulty looked for in ad-
ministration of the zone system is ex-
pected to come from the demand for
specific grades of coal. Some dis
tricts selling a particular grade have
found markets far from their mines
and this will have to be reckoned with
in working out a practical plan of
operation.
The consuming districts will be
formed as nearly as possible along
state lines Producers in a district
serving a specified consuming district
will be permitted to sell in no other
and consumers will be required to pur-
chase only in the districts serving their
territory.
Distribution by zones has been sue
cessfully tried out in England. Fuel
administration officials say it viii work
just as we'll everywhere. saving thou
sands of miles of transportation and in
suring the speediest possible movement
of coal from the mine to the consumer

l. Wheat is the most importa II
OF all foods-the staff of life for

2. The world's available re-
serve was practically exhausted
when the 1913 crop came on the
market.
3. The allied and neutral ma
tons must be fed and the reserve
stock Of wheat must be built up a.
gain to avoid a calamity that will
surely follow a crop failure.
4. We should release every DOS
sible bushel Of the commercial

5. We should relieve transporta-
ton for Fastening essential war
work.
6. Its safe farming'' to pro-
duce all food and feed at home.
I. Wheat by-products, such as
straw bran and shorts produced
on the farm are greatly needed to
feed the increased live stock that
the Government is asking for.
8. Wheat (and other small
grain) acreage enables you to prac
tice better crop rotations.
9, Part Of your acreage in wheat
helps to solve the distressing labor
problem by distributing the avail
