OUR OWN IRELAND.

The Philippine situation inevitably reminds one
of the Irish situation. because it is so different. Ire
land is seeking its independence. by what violent
means and in what bitter mood everybody knows
only too we'll The Philippines are seeking their
independence. and the method and spirit of the
quest are admirably shown in the words Of Sen.
Quezon, chairman Of the mission now visiting this
country. He says:
we are here to emphasize the loyalty Of our
people to the United States. There is no plan 10
revolt. as the Philippine Islanders have no
grievance against America.
I'VE are seeking our independence now. and
feel that we are not only well deserving OF It.
but are equipped from an educational point
of view for self-government. A committee OF
my cOuntrymen will shortly appear before con-
gress and argue the matter fully, and we have
no doubt Of the result"
The Filipinos are loyal to the United States; they
have no grievance: but they feel that they are now
grown up politically, and in all. friendliness would
like to break away and shift for themselves. The
United States has promised them their freedom
when they were ready for it. They are confident
that the promise will be kept.
It will be. of course. just as soon as congress is
honestly convinced of their readiness. American
pledges are not scraps of paper. and the congress
soon to assemble will undoubtedly approach the
question with an open and honest mind.
a situation which otherwise might be embarrass-
ing. in view Of American advocacy of the principle
of INSTRUMENTATION Of peoples" is friendly and
comfortable for both parties concerned. While Great
Britain is paying the penalty of wrongs inflicted
on ireland in times past, the United States is fac
ing her own Irish problem" with entire equanimity.
1t is a striking vindication of the policy of square,
ness and generosity adopted by this country when
we took over the Philippines 20 years ago. and con-
sistently followed ever since.

The war IS over in fact. whatever it may be in law.
But the war boards and the war commissions still
continue TO board and commish, just as if the 18th

any other mark on the calendar and Lowell rocked
nothing of the lore of war boards and war COM

USING TIME TO SAVE IT.

Unless the public sets itself to good use of this
extra hour OF summer daylight. the result viii be
years Of time wasted daily through the collective
waste by individuals If "a people each waste an
hour a day. Tie result is "a hours misspent, and it
runs up swiftly.
One authority who has been Investigating says
that in the city Of Philadelphia alone s73 years are
wasted every day because the inhabitants Of that
city fail TO employ their leisure time properly.
Time spent quietl, in taking needed rest is never
wasted; but hours spent idly hanging around. sim
ply waiting for time 20 pass. or spent in amuse-
ments which are harmful to body and soul, are
wasted indeed.
All this does not mean that everybody should add
to the time now spent at his daily job. Far from So
Eight hOuts as a rule is all that anybody should
devote TO what he calls his business or trade.
Five good hours a day should be devoted to
healthful recreation. as much of it out Of doors as
possible. Gardening tennis. walking. riding. swim
ming. baseball, croquee an are good. The idea is
to do something with the leisure hours which shall
make the individual happier and healthier.
Time spent I'm idle drifting leads to introspection
with it's depression and regrets. or to mischief as
a natural reaction. Time spent in h~salthfuI activi-
ties means happiness and a keen JOY just in being
alive.

BETTER TEACHERSI

AT least half the teachers in the United
States are not III TO teach. We ought to get rid
Of at least $500 Of them"
This was the statement Of d. r. Waldo. president
of the Western State Normal school at Kalamazoo,
Mich.
Public opinion will be that Mr.. Waldo has placed
his number a little high. There is no doubt, how
ever. that a good many teachers are now drawing
salaries who would make better stenographers 81
secretaries. clerks. or cooks, or cab-drivers.
1t has been the custom. time without mind. to use
the profession Of school teaching as a harbor for
many kinds Of Incompetence. a kind Of sacred halo
has surrounded the teacher. If she could get in by
passing the required examinations or by a bit Of
political pull that decided the matter. She was fitted
TO teach because she was teaching. Equally so with
a lot Of male persons.
No educational reform which does not take note
OF this condition and remedy fl will get very far.
Not only should the sllary-raising. already well
begun. go on. fast as tax conditions permit. but so
should the standard OF requirements for a teacher be
raised. A good salary viii not make a good teacher.
and il viii tempt "a poor one. High salaries without
high efficiency demands put a premium on inefH-
cheney and dishonesty.

there is no question but that Germany should pay
the allies entire war bin. but more because OF her
