PRACTICAL EDUCATION NO. 3

To fit young people to make their way
in the world, careful work with the spell
ling book and with penmanship is need
ed. Many Of the most successful men
are exceedingly poor writers, and they
may be poor spoilers. But for the aver
age person, bad handwriting and spelling
give such an impression of illiteracy as
to be distinct handicap.
Penmanship instruction is often not
practical. Some systems lay great stress
on ability to write fast, but to most 9th.
er people the important thing is not
speed, but to write memoranda and brief
notes so as to be clearly legible, and give
an impression Of business competence.
To spend long time teaching the man
who is going to run machine, or girl
to run 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 been edu-
Gated up to the principles of Social Sci
ence. They have not learned the basic
principles that lead to civic prosperity
and advance.
The first principles of Social Science,
is that we are all members of commun-
ity, the progress and success of which de-
pend upon the existence among all of its
members, of spirit Of cooperation and
community effort. Many of our towns
never go ahead, because the people never
learned to- cooperate, and never acquired
and civic and community spirit.
One of the most important and prac-
teal things the young folks have to learn
in school, is just this truth Of Civics.
They need to know something about com.
munity life, what makes some towns go
ahead and others stationary, how we
must all take held and work for public
causes. ~

COUPON OR REGISTERED BONDS

A good many thefts of Liberty bonds
owned by people inIthe coupon form are
reported. The great majoriy of the peo
pie take the coupon bonds payable to the
bearer. They have no safe deposit vault:
and keep them locked in trunks or loose
in drawers. Then when some dishonest
\person about the premises gets away
with them, they blame their hard luck
and think it is no use to save money.
Many bankers advise people to take
coupon bonds. The government is pref
ty slow about attending to registration,
and there is fuss and red tape about it.
If you want to sell the bond, it takes a
deal longer if it is registered. 1t
sell for very small fraction less.
t we ought not to be planning to sell
bonds, SO this consideration should
ID ave weight. The registered bonds
ar - much safer that they seem much
more desirable for the use Of most peo-
pie. The check comes in by mail right
on the date twice year, and no form
of interest is easier to collect.
A great many people have been buying
these bonds who never handled securi-
ties before. They are not familiar with
the ways of protecting their property,
and perhaps don't realize that if they
lose the coupon bond, they may never get
it again. 1t seems shame that there arc
so many dishonest people in the world,
who, if they found such bond, would
make no effort to ascertain the real own
err and return it. But such is the case.
If you persist in buying the coupon
bonds, remember to note down the num-
bers of them. If you lose them but know
the numbers, you may be able to recover
them. But you will make no mistake to
tell the bank man to give you the regis
tered issue, and have Uncle Sam write
7our name In his big books at Washing
ton as the lawful owner thereof.

WINNING THE VARGAS W
FARE

When the Germans first began to use
poisonous gases they took our allies by
surprise. It has not been thought pos
sible that any modern power claiming to
be civilized could thus deliberately viol-
ate all international agreements.
The first attacks consisted Of drift gas
so called Chlorine, was discharged frSm
cylinder pointed over toward the allied
trenches. It Of course would do its work
only when the wind was favorable.
I Gas shells have now taken the place
mostly Of drift gas. These projectiles
may contain as much as six pounds Of
poisonous material, and can be placed
with accuracy. Not merely are they ter
ribly poisonous and irritating, but tire
sneeze gases present an almost irresist-
ible temptation for the soldier to throw
off his mask. The burning gases pru-
duce distressing wounds that incapicitatc

The American gas service now com.
mands the ablest chemists Of the coun-
try, and it is promised that the Hun will
be repaid with interest for his atroci0us
crimes.
In the earlier masks, the friction Of
drawing air through the mask was so
great as to be equal to lifting column
Of water in tube to the height Of six
inches. This was an effort about like
what a sufferer with asthma has to make
to breathe, which of course must inter-
fere with the fighting power Of the
troops.
The masks have, however, been great

been able to keep our troops back. But

PRICES OF LIQUOR ADVANCE

Along with the general advance in
the price of practically every COM
modify, it is costing the convivial fol-
lowers of Bacchus considerably more

price Of liquor has generally increased,
while the quality Of the stuff has ma
terially deteriorated, according to
those who are iii position to know.

whisky costs twice as much as before

the opinion that the thirsty one will
pay so cents, the bill is fixed at that

is poor.

The Hague, April Pin view Of
the fact that the Germans are trying
to create the impression that Ameri-
can troops at the front lack courage,
and that some have committed sui
eide to avoid going into the trenches,
interesting testimony is given by a
traveller, who has seen Red Cross
trains passing through Aachen from
the great offensive. He states that
hundreds Of German soldiers have been
wounded in the left hand, and that
these wounds seem to have been self
inflicted with rifles in order that they
may not have to GO tosthe front.
The traveller says that there are
} 900 to 10000 woundedmen in Aachen
and that 500 or 600 pass through
daily.
