Carlsbad, N. NJ, Nov. 19.-The
Carlsbad schools are not observing
union rules any longer. They are rum
ming six days a week, which~is con-
trary to all precedent and the notions
of boys who want to get that knitting
done before Christmas. The schools
were forced to take this step because
of the five weeks vacation caused by
the influenza, which gave the regular
schedule such a setback that it will
not recover until the close of the
school. Prof. w. A, Poore, however,
in speaking of the plan, said:
BY running six days week, with
the possible exception of one Saturday
each month"; the last, or some other
day, we hope to close our schools at
the usual time. The teachers have
very kindly consented to do the work,
and in this way we expect to crowd
our full school year into the shorter
period of actual teaching. We will
have two days at Christmas and one
at New Years, for vacation, and with
the one day month for the making
OF reports, ! see no reason why the
idea should not work out success
fully"
The Carlsbad schools always have a
deserved reputation for vocational
work, and this year Prof. w. G. Don+
nelly is in charge of the manual train
ing for the boys and Miss Craven is
teaching the girls plain and fancy
cooking. The school boasts a half
dozen electric stoves, with a well
equipped domestic science room in eV-
cry other respect, and the doughnuts
that the girls hope to turn out soon
are expected to equal in toothsome-
ness those which have made salvation
Army lasses famous. Professor DON
nelly recently held an examination in
military tactics to determine what
boys will become officers in the stu
dent corps, for which guns are ex-
pected in any day. Mrs. George Rob
erts is n charge of the junior Red
Cross in the schools, and is preparing
to hold a bazaar at Christmas time.
Mrs. Roberts is arousing great inter-
est among the youngsters with the
models of rabbits and other animals
which the children will make for their
toy mart.
The Carlsbad high school is pro-
pairing data for a service flag, and
finds that twenty five boys who would /
ordinarily be attending school are now
in service.

it's on account of the war, but how
can that be? Children's clothes are
not being worn by soldiers, are they?

SHOULD RETURN TO SCHOOL.

One of the problems confronting
the country is whether the young men
who cut short their high school and
college work are going to enter school
again.
In housing the public school popu-
lation it is found that more room
must always be provided for the pri-
mary than for the higher grades, and
that this rule holds good all the way
from the baby grades to college grad
uation. The school attendance falls
off with almost fixed regularity
throughout the sixteen years that in
tervene between these two points.
Death and the desire to begin earn
ing money each account for fraction
of this diminution; but educators give
Encouragement as the chief cause
1t is stated in one of the educational
bulletins of the government that a
survey of city schools show that the
attendance begins to drop off most
heavily in the fifth and sixth grades
The loss is large up to the end of the
eighth grade. or those who finish
the eighth grade quite a percentage
enter the first year of the high school,
but the percentage of those who fin
ish the high school course is small.
Then comes an enormous drop in
the numbers who enter the college
freshman year as compared with the
number of those who finish the high
school. And the colleges have a very
high list of those who fail to persist.
More than sixty per cent of those who
enter the freshman year fail to finish
the sophomore year,
This falling by the wayside in the
struggle for an education is in
measure inevitable. But the high
rate is deplorable and unnecessary.
The lack of college education is
generally deplored by those who en-
tered upon it and then gave it up
before graduation. The constant con-
seriousness of this failure tends to
weaken the self-confidence of a large
percentage of those who did not
persist,
At the beginning of the war our
college populations were decimated
to fill the army and the navy. Tens
of thousands left school with courses
unfinished. Many of these are now
wearing shoulder straps and some
have distinguished themselves on the
field of battle. The college may look
small and tame and poor to them.
But if these same young men should
return to college and finish their
work there. it would be the rallying
line in l!fes successful battle. This
writer has had occasion to look uD a
good many records of the civil war
The men who allowed the war to
spoil their schooling generally lived
to regret it, Those who returned to
college or high school generally won
there the greatest victory of their
lives and laid the foundation of flu
ture success.

duty IS not to Germans, but to the
victims of Germans. This winter will
be the climax of human suffering.
The sum of woe will be vast Ger
many is the responsible cause of it
all. Millions have already been
starved by Germany in Russia, Serbia,
Poland and Belgium. From every
one of those countries food was stolen
to feed Germans. 1t mattered not
to the German government h@w many
of the people of those countries
starved.
All Europe will be short of food
this winter. Effort and system will
accomplish something. but it will not
be nearly equal to the demand. Whom
should we succor first? Who has
earned the right of mercy? As be-
tween Belgians and Germans, which
should first be fed?
Whatever the Germans suffer in
the next six months it cannot possibly
equal what they have made Belgians,
Serbians, Armenians. French and Ru-
manians suffer. what Russians this
winter are bound to suffer.
What was the last deed of Germans
in France before the armistice hour
came? 1t was to bomb and gas
twenty thousand women and children
and old men in the city of Mezieres
as a parting act of hate. 1t was not
an act of warfare, but a piece of pure
frightfulness, worthy of the men who
manned children and ravished young
girls and women in every country
where the Hun set his devilish foot
These are, not war stories now.
They are the CHASTITY facts brought
out after the armistice. or confirmed
by men who have seen the things
that have been done.
Let the mouths of those who have
been starved by Germany first be fed
and the bodies of those who have been
scourged by Germany first be clothed.
Then what is left will go to feeding
and clothing Germany.

UNIVERSAL TRAINING FOR
AMERICA.

1t is none too soon for this country
to decide on universal military train
ing as Il national policy, and to put
into operation the plan outlined by
the senate military committee, which
would keen every young man in
school until he was eighteen years
old, and then give him nine months
of hard discipline and training in a
camp.
Never again must America be
caught mapping. She must be pre-
pared to defend her institutions
Then she will not he called upon TO
do so. In this very hour Of victory
when the foe that plotted to subju-
gate the world lies humbled in utter
defeat, we should make high resolve
that as our youth attain manhood,
they shall be fitted to take uD arms
for liberty's sake whatsoever it may
be necessary.
The lesson of the war is plain. If
America had been prepared, if her
young men had had military training,
Germany never would have forced
her into war. 1t was precisely be-
cause Germany knew us to be totally
unprepared and felt sure that we
could not get ready to fight in time
TO hinder her, that she trod so in
solently upon our rights.
Nor does the end of the war at all
remove the need for such training.
II is true that there is a general
agreement that there shall be a
league of nations formed for the pur-
pose of making peace permanent.
But even such league is organized,
who can say whether it will succeed
in its mission. Many such leagues
have been formed in the past and
have failed, always because of the
conflicting interests of the nations
themselves.
We OF America hope peace will be
permanent We shall do our best to
bring about the end of all war. But
meantime let us take due measures
for our own protection.
If the peace congress shall agree
upon disarmament, we can readily
agree to dispense with the construc-
ton of more warships. Also we can
agree to return to the system of a
mere police force, which we have
heretofore designated as our regular
army. But all the more should we
train our young men to the use of
arms.
AS each upcoming class Is trained,
it can lay aside it's arms and enter
civil life. But these civilian soldiers
should be called for training for a
month each year for probably ten
years. 1t has been shown that it is
well for the young men of the coun-
try to strip before physicians at least
once year.
Besides, the boys generally would
be better for such training and the
country would greatly gain, even if
there should be no danger of war.
The boys are better physically for the
steady exercise of it. better mentally
for the sharp discipline of it, better
morally for the lessons in obedience,
dignity and respect engendered, bet
ter as citizens for the leveling democ-
racy of it.
This is no time to give ear to the
false prophets who persuaded this
country not to prepare for war when
it was evident to the densest of us
that we would be brought into the
great struggle sooner or later.
