EDUCATION.

CONNECTICUT is a great and simple lesson by
~ example to every state and community in the acquir-
ing Of wealth. 1t is one Of the smallest states. 1t is not
rch in natural resources as compared to other states. Yet
Connecticut in acquired produced wealth is among the FIRST.
1t heads all states in I important manufactured items used
the world over. Connecticut is not only the birth-bed. but
the cradle of the worlds manufacturing methods as we
understand them today-mterchanseablity Of parts and the
application of steam and water power in a large way. High
in the history of Connecticut contribution TO the worlds
most useful inventions are the names of Whitney, Howe,
Colt and Goodyear.
The basic reason for Connectcut's great industrial
wealth, and from which all other states may easily take
example. is this: From the earliest colonial history Con-
nccticut saw public education as an investment. From its
very beginning it provided free primary education. and
higher education by the founding of Yale University in
l70l. In 1886 the state of Connecticut acquired a tract
Of land in northern Ohio known as the Western Reserve,
in which Cleveland is located; it sold this some years later
and invested the money in public education.
1t has ever since pursued public education to a point of
almost public extravaganza. Even today Connecticut
children spend more days of the year in school than those
school term as compared with a general average Of l34
days the country over.
In Hartford. the principal city Of Connecticut. are many
model, manufacturing plants and other public and semi
public institutions Of the highest order. 1t had well paved
streets, ample park systems and all the devices of a well
ordered municipality when other municipalities were just
beginning to think about them. And last of all it had the
wealth and the willingness to pay for them.
This city Of Hartford, together with the state Of Con-
necicut at large, in what has been accomplished in the face
OF natural difficulties. is an example in the development Of
its people. that public education is the best investment, an
investment in men and women. 1t is an example that every
dollar we are required to pay in taxes for school purposes
will return to US many fold in wealth and general good
order.

Of coal, must be increased. Next year It viii have 10 Be
increased even more than It was during the early months
Of the wonderful year Of 1918. Every one knows that
this would be impossible under the system common here
before the war in which there was cut throat competition
between operations on the same spur track and between
different regions.
There must be much more study Of the coal situation on
a national basis. a reduction in cross hauling. better distnb-
ution Of information about market conditions, more frank
ness and a higher level of intelligence in mine management
if this country is to be preserved from the danger Of nation
elizaion. But before we can have any of these things
there must be a more general appreciation of the value Of
the operators organizations.

Judging by what little the senators who have been
to see Mr.. Wilson have said after their calls at the
White house, there are some things about the Shantuns
affair which have not yet been given to the public. 1t
is possible that the Japs did not gain all they are popu-
larly believed to have gained. The secrecy that is being
maintained with respect to this will enrage Senator
Johnson. of course. but it will be we'll for the rest Of
the country to remember that they have politics and
politicians in Japan too. and that some of the politi-
clans know how to play the game with a skill that would
win great admiration in this country.

Pershing does go in for politics after he gets back here
he will have most of his stay at home opponents at a
disadvantage in the matter of poise and aplomb. How
ever that is no sign that he would get the most votes.

In nominated both March and Pershing to be full
generals and Benson and Sims to be admirals Presi-
dent Wilson seems to be bent upon letting the factions
in army and navy fight out their own wars of precedence
and recognition for the work done. Perhaps that is the
better way. The Spanish war left US in the navy a most
demoralizing controversy which had its roots in the
mutual jealousies of naval ciques, and it is to be hoped
that we will be spared having the departments involved
in sucn affairs this time.

IE1NElef the best editorial pages written in the English
Language is that of the Saturday Evening Post, a
u~bleatons devoted largely to amusing a couple Of million
1adefss each week. but which performs notable service in
posing frauds and puncturins shams with a dash which
1akes ansinpress upon the most careless mind. A great
ealso the strength of that editorial page is due to the
al. that the man who presides over it is one of the sanest
irltefss and thinkers in America and the additional circum-
that he can afford to, and does, have most Of the
after which he printes written by authorities upon the SUBJ
cts treated.
In thesissue of this week some space is devoted to the
0ndltlons OF the INNING industry in Great Britain. The
Ftiee IN full is as follows:

AfheEpresent drift over there. naturalization,

able.
The gist of 1t is that before the war at least
miners were poorly paid-twenty-fve shilltngs

aarule they were very badly housed.
Certainly that was a bad situation. But the
evidence seems to show that the big trouble
with the British coal industry was merely bad
organization. 1t shows several thousand indi-
vidual mine owners normally or often engag-
led in what the chief inspector of mines-a
liberal-mtnded person too-calls cut-throat
coordination or consolidation, in his judg-
nent, prevents enhanced production and d.
zminisheds cost OF production and entails waste.
In government ownership-with the great
political power of organized labor in England
the miners see a short cut to better wages.
with the deficit charged up TO the National
Treasury. Thorough and efficient reorganiza-
tionSof the industry under private ownership
and management would give as good wages
within deficit.
Taking them as a whole, American miners are well paid
pd they are comfortably housed. measured by the English
andafd, 50 that part of the article has little bearing upon
e situation here. But what the writer has TO say about
e evilsfof cut throat competition and the drawback of a
ck Of cooperation applies in this country with quite as
|uch force as it does over there.
# American mine owners do not want to go through the

here is what happened on one yester-
day In five minutes:
Harold Kline and Sidney Wright
stopped and argued who was to pay
for the Little Bobbie that was to be
purchased at the Mountain City.
Mayor Bowen stood there for some
time asking every N who came along
TO be his guest at the Dixie to see the

with a friend who addressed him as

A small boy stopped to investigate
the identity OF a piece OF chewing gum

j. Walter Barnes stopped to express
sympathy for the Bard because OF an
ailment with which he is at present

remarkable about 1t.

Walter wanted to bury
