There is no disputing the fact that
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, Depart
Foreign Trade ment Of Commerce,
p,o~.4;. has been directly re-
/ 11omosion. sponsible for the sale
Of many hundred thousand dollars
worth Of American goods in foreign
markets. but. aside from the specific
opportunities for sale brought to light
by its representatives. does it have an
appreciable effect upon the broader
policies that lie behind the foreign
commerce of the country? Are the pre-
limtnary surveys of commercial con-
dittons in foreign countries consid-
cred as seriously by the manufacturer
and exporter as the bureau would like
to have them considered?
These questions can be answered
much more definitely now, than they
could have been a few years ago. It
Is possible now. for instance. to esti-
mate the effect Of the bureaus long
campaign for better packing in our
export trade. The bureaus represen-
tatives, as well as the representatives
OF private business concerns, seem
agreed that the complaint on the
score of poor American packing is dy-

but as rule he is willing to admit

Wen as anybody. The American is
convinced there Is no one in the world

The increased Importance attached
10 the bureaus preliminary surveys
has been commented on often of late
oy the older special agents in the
service. Some of these men recall Wis
ITS to well known concerns a few
years ago, when 1t was necessary to
explain what the bureau was. what it
was driving at, and what the duties
frequently find their own reports on
the desks of officials Of such concerns
when they call. There is no longer
any need OF preliminary explanations.
They can get down to business at
once. A great many representatives
with on foreign soil during the year
who had special agents reports in
their bags.
1t will probably never be possible
to estimate how many dollars worth
OF business results from consulting
these special reports. but their gem
eral use seems to indicate an APP
probation of their value. It is a fine
and stimulating thing for the men,
bers of the staff
At this time. of course, the work
OF the bureau is of great Importance
IN preparing data for the manufac-
turers Of the country for after-the-
war trade. In fact, there are a num-
Der of the bureaus experts even now
in various parts of Europe studying
conditions. Even in Russia there is
at least one agent who is risking his
life to obtain such information as he
considers of great Importance to the
manufacturers of the United States
and information which should be very
useful when the world is again ready
to open up the usual channels of
foreign trade.

classify many children coming from
other schools. Bureau of education
officials are urging that school Of
f1cers be considerate in their judg-
ments of other schools: that in all
cases classification be made in the
interest Of the child and not in the
interest Of school machinery.
It is. unfortunately, true, say the
federal school experts. that children
often lose a year in transferring from
one school system to another. Many
government officials and others whose
duties compel them to move from
city to city claim that their children
lose grade almost every time they
enter a new school. There are sew
to another city lose time In school:
Different courses of study. insufficient
data from the school last attended, by
which superintendent may know in
which grade to place these children,
and an unwillingness on the part of
ton grades from other schools or to
give credit for work done in other
schools not offered in their own
Omcials of the bureau of education
give the following as a typical ex-
ample Of this: An American girl who
had lived abroad and attended a
French school, and who could speak
the language fuently, was allowed
only two years credit by the principal
of high school, which offered three
years of French and which required
no conversation in French, on the

mar. Another principal refused to
give a girl credit for work done in
a modern language because the
school she had attended used diff

sound educational theory that a child
should not be classified mechanically
or formally in any school. A pupil
should be placed where he can make
the most Of every year or month of
his school life. A child's power to
stimulating material of the right sort
is all that should be used to de-
termine the material that should be
presented.
The most progressive high schools
now credit by units, fifteen or sixteen
units being required for graduation.
There should. therefore, be no diff
Guilty in granting credit for work done
in other high schools even if the subjects
do not come in the same order.
In the elementary grade a pupil is
often put back year upon entering
new school because the school pre-
viously attended did not make fetch
of arithmetic in the primary grades.
In some schools no arithmetic is re-
quired in the first grade and very
little in the second. while in others
formal arithmetic is required in the
first grade. If a pupil moves from
the former to the latter type of school
he is required to drop back a grade
or two in order to make up his
arithmetic.
Another reason why children enter
ing a new school are often incor-
rectly classified is that they do not
bring detailed statements from the
schools last attended showing the
amount and character of the work
done. This difficulty can be obviated
by each school keeping an individual
record card. When a child enters a
new school copy of the card should
be given the. child so that he may be
more easily classified. The bureau of

Naval Off
Sea Training,

II the war had not interviewed, of
Navy Department officials to recon-
mend that no midshipman appointed
to the Naval Academy should receive
his commission under five years, and
that. after passing the entrance ex-
animation, every appointee should go
to sea as a regularly enlisted man
and serve one year in the ranks be-
fore entering Annapolis.
1t has been suggested as a better
plan to afford future officers expert
ence as seamen that the course at
Annapolis should be divided, the first
two years instruction being given
ashore at the academy, the third
being spent at sea, doing the duties
and having the same discipline as
all other enlisted men, and midship-
men then to return to the Naval
Academy for two years prior to grad
uation. There may be some discus
sion as to which suggestion is best
but many officials of the department
<are fully convinced that no man
should be commissioned an officer in
the American Navy until he has spent
at least one year before the mast

would give the officer the viewpoint

The American ideal is that men
should obtain high station by begin

position by first mastering the pri-
mary duties. This is the idea that
the Navy officials have in mind. and

The one illus trated here is true to type; there is the wide sailor collar, the braid on sleeve and collar, but the details may be as different as you please.

 Some interesting data has been re- ceived from John L. Clymer, of the Pacific Division, relative to the changes in Red Cross memberships.
 The name Subscribing Member" has been changed to Magazine Mem Der" and 75c of the $2.00 given for this membership remains in the cof- fers of the local chapters.
 Fifty cents of the one dollar paid by an Annual Member" also remains for the work of the local chapter. A Life Member and a Patron" sends its dues to the Red Cross Endowment Fund and only the interest on this is used for emergency relief purposes. The Life Membership" has also been changed from $25 to 50.

This question confronts her on every side--for or against new clothes and other things that she would not hesitate to buy in normal times. Really it is most puzzling; on the one hand, she hears arguments that convince her how unpatriotic she is to even think of new frocks and fur below when the times are so dark and grievous. Indeed, new frocks are a disgrace; she must wear the oldest things she has, and the frumpier she is--the better! On the other hand,
