Modern Life and Education.

Major Barratt O'Hara has broken out in a
new place, this time with the suggestion that
"our restrictive laws close the doors of OPP
portunity for men and women who acquire their
education through hard study at home" This
would be important if true. The illustrations
the eminent major employs, that George Wash
ington could not have attained entrance to an
officers training camp and that other presi-
dents of the United States would equally have
been handicapped is worthy of the man who
has built up his reputation by the worst form
of demogogy, that of retailing half-truths.
Admission to the officers training camps was
purposely fixed at a moderately high educa-
tonal standard, in order that the work of in
tensive training necessary to the production of
young officers for the great army might not be
hampered from the first by the presence of
men whose elementary education did not equip
them with such knowledge would enable
them to properly comprehend the instruction
given If the major will pursue his inquiries
little farther. he will discover that six of the
nine generals lately assigned to duty as in
structors in military science in the War col
lege have risen from the ranks.
The door of opportunity was not closed to
them, and all through our national life we find
men and women occupying important positions
who gained their training in that hardest of all
schools, the University of Hard Knocks. But
this does not set aside the fact that the boy or
girl who has been graduated from modern
high school has distinct start in life over the
one who has not had such training. And all
our organized effort is bent in the direction of
providing for each of the children of America
the greatest possible amount OF educational
advantage before thrusting them into the battle
of life

When Labor Learns

Since the signing of the armistice Great
Britain has been swept by strikes that shook
it to its center. In quarter and another
month after month, unrest and disorder
reigned. At Belfast and Glasgow industry was
sparalyzed. At Liverpool all shipping was tied
up. In London local transportation was
halted The metropolitan police were in state
OF revolt. Hundreds of thousands of miners
in Wales and Yorkshire walked out and mills
were forced to shut down for lack of fuel The
triple alliance of transport and railway work
ers threatened to challenge the government to
test of strength. No one could foresee to
what excuses labor might be driven under the
whip of reckless agtators.
At last the crest of the storm has been
passed and the clouds are breaking. After the
fearful strain of five years of war and the tur-
MOL OF readjustment to peace conditions, it is
coniRg TO be understood by the British people
that they cannot live by agitation and idleness
and that productive work is the only practical
-A,tion of their troubles. In months of tur-
bulence no other cure has been discovered and
none ever will be.
] In this country we have not yet mastered
the lesson of experience of less fortunate ma
tons Our losses in the war were relatively
.sht. After hostilities ended there was no
long period of general unemployment such as
the British government was obliged to meet
by system of special allowances. But socia!
arrest and labor disturbances have slowed up
i'll classes Of American industry when the
whole world was calling for American food
stuffs and American goods. d
The first impulse of labor seems to be to
strike, as the one sure means of promoting its
prosperity. To cut down production to lower
efficiency, to shorten the hours of work, ap-
pears to be the accepted principle on which the
high cost OF living is to be reduced. Somehow,
it is thought, food and clothing will be made
cheaper and rents lower by forcing prices
higher at the command of wage workers. 1t
cannot be done, either here or in Great Britain

drew their blazing swords. The air
ouivered with heat waves, the daz-
cling light that filled the throne
room turned red and yellow hot
menace Of danger.
The same thought came to Peggy
and Billy at once--if all this burn
ing fury were set free 1t would de-
stroy not only the Storm King and
his army, but also the whole world.
Peggy cried out in alarm:
wait, wait. your majesty! Keep
cool! Keep cool!'
King Sun turned toward Peggy
and glared at her until she shook
in her shoes. He looked as If he
were about to blow up like VOL
cano. But instead of blowing up,
King Sun suddenly burst into a
great laugh.
"Ho. no! Keep cool! That's a
good one on me. Ho! Ho!' And
the soldiers all Uttered at the
thought of King Sun keeping cool.
This surprising mirth gave Peggy
Lets find Princess Rainbow be-
fore we do anything else" she said.
I'VE can't find her II you and your
army go raging around in a hot
fury"
you're right, wise Princess Peg
give me for being such a hothead.
What shall we do?"
1--WE must learn how the prin-
cess disappeared. Tell US all about
it." said Peggy, turning to the Rain
bow Dancers.
"Alas! Alas! 1t was so sudden
we scarcely know" walled the dane
ers. 1--WE were dancing happily in
our arch. rejoicing because the
storm had been driven away, when
suddenly a black cloud appeared
above us. 1t whirled around and
around until we grew dizzy watch
ing 1t. Then we heard a startled
cry, and when we looked around
our beloved princess was gone"
Perhaps she, too. became dizzy
and fell from the arch" suggested
Peggy. IF you will have your ar
mics search the earth at the foot of
the arch, King Sun, we will look
through Cloud Land"
your head is wise and COOL" an
swered King Sun. I'VE shall do as
you say" Forthwith he sent his
armies to search the earth. while he,
himself, with Peggy and Billy. set
out in the chariot for the top of the
rainbow arch, whence the princess
had vanished.
AS they drew near the arch they
saw that the rainbow was no longer
bright with color. Instead 1t was
watery with the tears of the weeping
Rainbow Dancers, who were sing
ing a sad, sad song:
"Rainbow dancers sadly sing,
For our Rainbow Princess fair
Seems to have vanished into the air"
King Sun, Peggy and Billy
alighted from the chariot at the
very top of the arch, where stood
the empty throne of Princess Rain

BEWARE, FEMALE 'SKEETER.'
May Be Some Satisfaction to Know

May Be Some Satisfaction to Know
Males Die After Summer Work.
The male mosquito does not bite;
his bill is so blunt that he could not
he a bloodsucker if he wished. 1t
is the female mosquito that does all
the deadly work of fever propaga-
ton, according to a writer in the
Scientific American.
! In the autumn the males die, and
| the females seek winter quarters.
They hibernate in dark corners Of
| cellar and garnet, and on the first
warm day of spring are out laying
their eggs. Save when extended by
| the arrival of this alternating pc
, riod, the life Of the female is one
or two months; the male, on the
| other hand, lives but few days. The
/ food of the mosquito is the juice and
nectar of plants and, of course. blood
though not necessarily that of
man; animals, reptiles and even cat
erpillars are bitten with the same
| freedom.
The female mosquito lays from so
| to 100 eggs at time, on any quiet
bit Of water. In about three days
they hatch, and though at first the
larva is very small. it grows rapidly
and attains full development in a
few days. We have then the familiar
wrigglers of the old-time rain bar
rel and the uncovered cistern.
During the larval stage, which
lasts from seven to fourteen days,
the malarial variety can be distin-
guished from all others by the Gu
riously inclined by virtue of the fact
that it lies with its body parallel to
the surface Of the water, while the
other species hang with their heads
downward

WILSON TO THE woRKINcMEN.

President Wilson addresses the American
people through his communication to the rail-
road shop hands, and very succinctly sums up
the economic situation in these words;
It seems to me and l believe it will
seem clear to every thoughtful American, in
Guiding the shop men themselves when they
have taken second thought and to all wage
earners of every kind that we ought to post
pone questions OF this sort until normal con-
ditions come again and we have the oppor-
tunity for certain calculation as to the rela-
ton between wages and the cost of living.
1t is the duty of every citizen of the country
to insist upon truce in such contests until
intelligent settlement can be made, and by
peaceful and effective common counsel
The presidents expressed opinion that the
cost level has reached its peak may or may
not be generally shared. but his conclusion that
spasmodic and inarticuate advances in wages
contribute to the maintenance of the unsettled
condition is sound. His wholesome advice to
the working men should be accepted by them,
and by the country in general.
Until production has been restored to nor
NAL activity, and the unrest now prevalent has
been suppanted by settled effort to create and
not merely to consume, the problem will con-
the question is an individual one, for each cit-
zen to answer for himself He may periodically
assist in bringing about the sterilization of our
social and industrial life, or he may selhshly
seek his own personal advantage and thereby
aid in delaying the adjustment.
If health is again to prevail in American
affairs it will be because all the citizens have
acted wisely. Leaders are graphing with
tremendous responsibilities right now, endeav-
oring to keep the old ship moving head on
across the storm-tossed waters of business, and
will succeed only if those on board do their
share in helping.
We may be pardoned if we express the wish
that Mr.. Wilson had shown insight as clear
and backbone as firm in 1916, when he was CIV
ing his assent to the Adamson law. He might
have spared his country world of trouble.

The Storm Kings Challenge.
THE wall Of the Rainbow Dancers,

how. AS they did so hurrying
storm cloud began to fly in swift
circles above them. All watched 1t
closely, hoping to gain some clue as
to how the princess had disappeared.
Suddenly there was another cry.
Looking around, Billy and King Sun
saw that Peggy was not there.
At the same moment bit Of fluff
fell from the circling storm cloud.
On it were written these words in
letters of black:

and his armies to fight for the hand
of Princess Rainbow, who Is
prisoner in the castle Of Storm"
