DISCIPLINE IN STUDY

Dean Andrew F. West Of the Graduate
School at Princeton In an address to
Pennsylvania teachers.
1t is the old American spirit at last
awakening again, the spirit which
made and saved our freedom-never,
please God, again to go to sleep.
Obedience, not to what we like or do
not like to do, but to what we know
we ought to do, be it hard or easy,
this is what is now awaking in full
might. If we heed it it will purify,
unity and invigorate our schools for
generations to come. 1t will give us
the power to base all our education
on the one indestructible truth on
which alone education can be built.
So great is the opportunity our pres
ent difficulty brings us. Can we
take it? Yes, these changes, if they
spread far enough and go deep
enough, will of course bring many
other changes in their train. They
will compel us to restudy our schools
and colleges. In our theory of stu
dies, as well as of life, we shall have
to abandon once and for all many
specious theories and alluring prac-
tices to which we have recently been
indulgent. The captivating notion,
happily now going out of vogue, that
the student in school or college
should study what he likes, when he
likes, as he likes, if he likes, must be
"interned and inferred" To all So
called free elective systems" which
are not systems at all, we must
promptly say goodbye" and good
riddance." In place Of all this must
come the conviction that so far as
practicable in view of each students
age, capacities and future life-work,
the few fundamentals Of universal
value for training-not for tickling
the human mind should be the basis
for all courses of study until the
student is both sufficiently trained in
power and is also made sufficiently
aware of his own ascertained apti-
tudes. Then he should be left to
choose for himself. In this way, as
in no other, may our youth be ad-
vanced at least sufficient distance
on the right road to make it their own !
sole responsibility, and not ours, If
they then choose to go a long way, ]
short way, or any way on any wrong !
road. This also means that if schools |
and colleges do not know enough to
come to a fair agreement on the fun
damental studies (no room for poh-
tics here, inside or ou) and to dis
tribute them so that no essential is
lost in any curriculum, meanwhile
giving everything its true label, they
will prove to the country they do not
know their business.

THE NEW BOOKS
@The Youth and the Nation

The Nation is at war with a for
eign foe, but at home we have an
enemy to fight which is equally as
deadly asa the bullets fom the Ger
mans. This enemy makes its ravages
in the form of disease, crime and
poverty. This is the theme which
Prof. Harry H. Moore of Reed College,
Oregon, stresses in his new book,
"The Youth and the Nation" When
we read the subtitle, "a guide to
service" we opened the book with the
expectation of finding out something
about the war. But it was an alto
gether different type of war than that
which was expected. The book is q
popular guide to social service, de-
signed for young readers.
Despite the fact that the book is
elementary in character, it contains a
good picture OF social conditions as
they exist today. The different types
of social maladjustment are illus
trated by graphic stories, and the
necessity Of training an army of
social workers is strongly empha-
sized. The small volume is brought
to a close by chapters pointing out
opportunities for the youth of the
Nation to engage in social service by
choosing professions which afford ex-
cellent chances in this line. There
are notes to the text and a biblio-
graphy. (The Macmillan Company,

Knocking consists of helping keep it

Knocking consists Of helping keep it
back.
In order to do more person must
say less, and If he says less he will
want to do more, all of which is
solace to gossippers.
If a man is attempting to keep
house at all he will have to buy more,
and more, whether he wants to or
not. He can bestow no greater
blessing upon his neighbors than that
of letting them use their own things
at all times, and he himself using
his own things always and only.
1t is not the producer who wastes.
1t is the drone.
Every day there is something to
learn. 1t is impossible to know too
much, and the supply of information
is unlimited. Worry has never solved
a problem, but knowledge has solved
many.

Do NOT Be sW|nDLED
N YOUR OWN Home
A Fake Test" Exposed

Some Baking Powders contain speck
and only speck of dried albumen (some-
times called dried white of egg).
The u. S. Government has declared
this speck of albumen is no help in
the baking.
BUT, when water is added to a baking
powder which contains albumen, such
baking powder, no matter how poor it
may be, will foam up much higher than
any good baking powder which is not
doped with albumen.
Agents for doped albumen powder
come into your home and add water to
their powder, and to one or two good
baking powders which are not doped.
The albumen powder foams up high
in the glass; the others do not foam
SO high.
Then the agent tells you that this test
shows that his powder Is much stronger
than the others. u. S. Government
officials say this test is a fraud.
K C BAKING POWDER contains
no albumen, and is legal under the
National Pure Food LdW and the Pure
Food La,o of each and every State.

@MADE In AMERICA In CHINA

II an American manufacturer gets
a square deal for his product in
China he must manage the foreign
distribution himself, place it in hands
of house not handling competing
European brand, or in hands Of an
American indent house, says J. B.
Powell, financial editor Millards Re-
view, Shanghai, China, formerly in
structor in advertising, School of
Journalism, University of Missouri.
American wholesale firms manu-
featuring private brands push their
own goods before those of other man
ufacturers for whom they are acting
as agents and Mr.. Powell points out
that in the same way, the foreign
middleman prefers to push European
goods rather than American goods.
owing to the limited number of
mediums in both foreign and native
Chinese and the further fact that
business in China naturally radiates
from a few treaty ports where for
eigners are permitted to do business"
writes Mr.. Powell in the December is
sue of Judicious Advertising, "ad-
vertising in China is a comparative
ly simple problem-providing the
American manufacturer has the
facts"
Evidently some of the American
manufacturers are not acquainted
with facts as Mr.. Powell tells of a
firm in Shanghai that handles an
American phonograph. This firm
spends the greater part of the adver-
tising appropriation in circulars that
are distributed about the streets
among Chinese coolies who haven't
enough to buy a square meal.
In another case, good American ad-
vertising money was used to float
propaganda sheet that knocked Amer
ican merchandise.
In addition to being careful in
placing advertising appropriation and
selecting a distributor who is not
more interested in a competing
brand, the American manufacturer
must be careful in the matter of re-
liability of distributing firm. Firms
wishing to show" China how to do
business in the latest-down-to-the-
minute American manner are doomed
to failure with firms pushing get
rich-quick schemes. Such failures
make it more difficult for other Amer
leans to succeed in the same field, no
matter how reputable they are and
how good their products may be.
Mr.. Powell warns American manu-
facturers to make careful investiga-
tion before placing agencies, as it
is difficult to get established in China
and the Chinese are slow to take up
new ideas.

10000 GERMAN SUBSTITUTES
Some Are So Good That They VIII
Be Used After War.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 20.-Ten thou
sand substitute food articles have
been introduced into Germany since
the war, according to a statement
made in the Berlin newspapers by
Professor Juckenack, a prominent
food expert. He mentions as the
most striking examples of successful
substitution the following: Artificial
butter, eggs, salad oil, honey, milk,
coffee, tea, sugar, tobacco, fish saus-
age, cheese and caviar Some of the
substitutes are directly harmful, but
others are so good that they will out
live the war and become regular arti-

NORWAY TO HAVE
AIRPLANE MAIL
SERVICE SOON

London, May 2s.-A. big, step for
ward in commercial airplane com
m%unication Is, proposed from Norway
ina plan to inaugurate at once a
regular air mail service between StaH-
anger and Aberdeen.
The submarine warfare has made
the sea, mails irregular across the
North sea-, and the scheme for an
airplane service Is being energetically
pushed forward by a Norwegian COM
pany with the backing OF the Nor
wegtan government. The Journey
across the North sea has already been
made in Ave hours and it is estimated
that, in a regular service, the ordinary
average time would be under four
hours and a half.
The British government. while. it
has no airplanes to spare for such
purposes in wal time, IL prepared to
give the Norwegian company every
facility, The belief Is general here
that the British. isles should be the
most important center for Airplane
communication between nations after
the war.
Italy and England in seven hours
IL already an accomplished fact, and
America to Britain in sixteen hours
has been recently predicted by Brit
ish. experts as almost certain to come
within five or six years, +.

Woman Candidate
Refused Nomination

Kefehley, England, May 2s.-The
first; woman candidate for parliament,
Miss Nina Boyle Of the Voters league,
has been refused a nomination on the
ground that each Of the two nomina-
ton papers handed in by her con-
tanned the name Of 4 man whose name
does not appear on the Geighley reg
lister.
Previously Miss Boyle appeared be-
fore the returning officer who stated
he had received instructions from the
out question provided 1t was properly
signed, so that her rejection appears
to be- the result only Of a strangers
name appearing on the paper.
Miss Boyle said she considered that
a moral triumph had been achieved
for women. as she had been informed
that her nomination ordinarily would
have been accepted.
while I am disappointed" she
continued, that a ffuke Of this kind
has prevented actual nomination, 1t
matters little. for il accepted 4 had
decided to withdraw. My purpose In
coming to Keieh1ey was simply to test
our right to nomination.. Ny test has
been successful
Unless .parliament decides the
question Of women, entering the house
of commons, it, will mean that many
women will secure nomination and, II
elected, there will be. an illimitable
number of election petitions against
their return, bringing confusion In its
train" 49, -.
The result Of, her experience, Miss
Boyle asserted, would be Of great on
couragement TO all women's political
organizations throughout the country.
