PHYSICAL TRAINING FOR
EVERY BOY AND GIRL
Ohio's Superintendent Empha-
sizes Need

The war situation has revealed a
condition of affairs that is not to the
credit either of the homes or the
schools. The Draft Boards have found
a great lack of physical soundness in
the young men of our country. In one
of the great universities, physical ex-
aminations extending over period of
seventeen years discovered one physi-
cally perfect young woman. but not
one physically perfect young man. We
make better record than that in the
propagation of live stock and it be-
hooves US all to become wide awake to
the Importance of physical training
II the child is physically sound when
he enters school, he ought to be equal
ly so when he energies from the school
period and if he is not so, that fact a
lone proves that somebody along the
line has been recreant to his opportuni-
ties. Now is the time when we should
emphasize physical training in its large
aspect to the end that we may produce
a race of people who are physically fit
This physics training should extend to
every boy and every girl, and not con-
| fine itself to those who are already
phs sically fit and who constitute the
ball teams. Fl. B. Pearson, State Supt.
of Ohio.

THE FIFTH, OR
VICTORY LOAN
Will Come in the Spring and
Be Just as Important as
Any Preceding Loan.

A large percentage of the money
which will be subscribed to the Fifth
Liberty Loan will go toward the re-
Mobilization of wounded men. The
United States Government is resolved
to do it's utmost TO restore. every
wounded American soldier and sailor to
health, strength and self-supporting
activity He will not be discharged
from the hospital until all the medical
and surgical treatment necessary to re-
store him to health has been given him,
under the jurisdiction Of military or
naval authorities, according to the
branch of service he is in
Then his future will he considered
by the Federal Board for Vocational
Education. If he has been disabled in
such way that he cannot take up the
work he left to go into the country's
service, large vocational field is open
ed to him, with wide choice of occu-
pations. He is carefully trained to
self-supporting activity
If he needs an artificial limb or me-
chanical appliance, the Government
will supply it free, keep it in repair and
renew it when necessary If after his
discharge from the hospital, he again
needs medical treatment on account of
his disability, the Government will
supply it free. While he is in the hos
pital and while in training afterward
the soldier or sailor will receive COM
Densation as if in the service and his
family will receive their allotments.
Also wounded soldier or sailor, re-
gardless of whether his disa ability pre-
vents him from taking up his former
employment, may take course in yo-
cational training, free of cost, and the
war-risk insurance compensation will
he paid him during the time of train
ing In this case no allotment will be
paid his family.
The training branches, with their
thousands of trained instructors, will
use millions of the nation dollars, and
the country, instead of being filled
with dependent cripples and begg ars,
an eyesore to the nation and constant
reminder of the horrible side of the
great war, with its glorified cause and
its magnificent victory. will have thou
sands of highly tIained men-heroes,
the glory of whose sacrifice will not
have been tarnished by moral and
mental dsintegration.
That's one of the reasons why the
Fifth Liberty Loan must be oversub
scribed The first three loans launch
ed America in the War-built training
camps and sent men overseas; the
Fourth Liberty Loan, the "fphting
loan, backed up the fighting men and
made overwhelming victory for the
allies possible. The Fifth or-Victory
Loan will be just as important in the
annals of the war loans, for both moral
and material reasons America would
b monstrously ungrateful should she
not stay with her men in khaki and
blue until they are returned to their
homes, physically strong and able to
earn a livelihood. The bzst way for
everv person to show his personal graf
itude is to start now planning how
much he can subscribe to the Fifth
Loan.

Miss Froelich

Sometimes something happens to
remind us that most people go con-
tentedly about their life work,
neither striking nor giving in to
strikes, nor having nervous prostra-
ton, nor turning Bolshevik.
Such one is Miss Ella Froelich,
who has just completed fifty years
as a teacher in Public School 8, in
Greenwich Village, and admits hav-
ing been happy through it all. "The
boys kept me young" she answered
simply when asked for the secret Of
her success, disdaining the evidence
of thousands of her weaker sisters
whom those same boys had driven to
an early grave. The secret goes
deeper than that, of course, and is
found not in the boys (however
extraordinary the brand produced
by our best families in Greenwich
Village fifty years ago., but in the
soul of the little teacher herself.
Some women are born teachers
and thrive on it; while others lose
their bearings entirely in the terrible
sea of discipline, red tape, low sala-
ries, and intellectual serfdom." The
former are the teachers who brought
zest to spelling lessons and Caesars
bridge, and infused the conquest Of
Quadratics with a pride in self-reli-
ance which the pupils remembered
and carried over into the harder
tasks of later years. They were the
friends of every child in the class,
good or bad, and respected and in
spring members of the community.
Where are all those old-fashioned

school teachers to-day? Aiming S.
Prall, president Of the Board of Edu-
cation, mourned the passing Of the
inspired teacher in his speech at the
celebration of Miss Froelich's gold
en- jubilee. But perhaps he, like
the rest Of us, is getting the habit
of Mysteries. Perhaps if he looked
abound in the schools he would find
more Miss Froclichs, contentedly
growing gray in the service of their
country. Where one phenomenon
is found it is reasonable to expect
others, however shyly hidden away.
Perhaps IL we encouraged them
more, treated them with the graft
tude due the dcvotccs of a great
profession, and paid them little
higher wage than we do bootblacks,
we should fad there are still modern
young women VINO have the grace
of character to be old fashioned

Mathematics Wins

or to the workmen in higher wages,
with the factory owner profiting
from quicker turnover Of capital.
AN interesting, and to many an
eye-opening, computation. But two
questions suggest themselves. What
is included in overhead, and how
many industries have overhead ex-
penses exclusive Of raw materials)
that amount to one-half the value Of
the product?
The baron mentions, as included in
overhead. interest on capital, salaries
Of partners and managers, repairs
and renewals, depreciation, rent and
ordinary taxes. 1t is thus his idea
(since he assumes that overhead is
not to 60 up, despite larger oper-
ating day. that the salaried class
are to work twelve hours a day
while wage earners work but six
hours; that machinery will not wear
out more quickly if speeded for
twelve hours instead Of used for
eight. Moreover, he must reckon
among raw materials fuel, light,
heat, etc, whose consumption is pro-
portionate to working time.
On the basis of the foregoing there
are few industries In this country
with 80 per cent overhead expenses.
Before the war American factories
in gross paid out $14 100000, 1000 for
raw materials, $4,500,0OO,0O0 for
wages, $1,200,000,00O for salaries,
and $3.50, 100000 for capital
charges. So the overhead in the
average American factory is nearer
25 per cent than 80 per cent. More
over, overhead is not stable. 1t costs
more to borrow money, rent goes up,
so do taxes and all miscellaneous
expenditures, and salaries will even
tually go up.
The figures of the baron are not
as valuable as they seem at first
glance. A saving can undoubtedly
be effected by running plants for
longer hours at higher speed, but
probably not enough to offset a
doubled wage cost, and if product
per person employed goes down, of
course real wages are certain to fall
proportionately.

Not Butting In

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: think it only just to William
Z. Johnson, the Anti-Saloon League Of
America, under whose direction he is
working In England the United King
dom Alliance of Great Britain and the
students who engaged in the prankish
attack on Johnson to say several
things:
First, Mr.. johnson is in England at
the express invitation of the alliance
and other "dry" organizations which
are older than the Anti-Saloon League.
Last summer number of Englishmen,
including clcrgymen, physicians and
others, made a tour of the United
States and Canada, looking at the re
suits Of prohibition and asking for the
cooperation Of American "drys." Or.
c. w. Sa!eeby, chairman of the British
Birth Control Commission, earnestly
asked the aid of the league in making
the British Empire dry At Washing
ton there was formed the World
League Against Alcoholism, with Eng
lish representatives present One of
the four presidents is Lie Jones, mem
Der of the British Parliament
Second, while the "drys" Of the
United States are helping the "drys"
Of England, the "wets" oi the United
States are over therc helping the
"wets' of England One, Of course
has as good a right over there as the
other.
Third, although tho United States
has adopted prohibition and it is the
law of the land, English vets are in
the United States helping thc Amer
lean "wets' to set aside prohibition,
and yet never a protest has been
made either by the government or the
"drys."
Fourth. the Lord Chancellor OF Great
Britain has declared that Mr. johnson

collected from passengers the re-
naming three cents must come from
the taxpayers. The 1920 budget ap-
propriates $7,000,000 for this pur-
pose.
Here is an outstanding fact
which the Mayor forgets and which
others have little emphasized. But
some day it must be faced. Hence
it is proftless to assume that the
companies, under contract to haul
for five cents, can be successfully
held to bad bargain.
What is to be done? Obviously to
bring together the Public Service
Commission and the Board Of Esti-
mate, the city's contract makers,
with representatives of the subway
companies to negotiate, on the one
hand, concerning Kidding the city of
the preference milestone and, on tho
other hand, the adjustment of fares
to a compensatory basis.
This would mean to alter the con-
tracts in two particulars, one in
favor of the city and the other in
favor of the companies. A great op-
portunity for the city to gain some
thing substantial is offered, but so
far attempts to realize from it have
been defeated by the Mayors refusal
to consent to revision Of the con-
tracts.
The Mayor may be given credit
for thinking he is standing for the
protection of public interests, but
in fact he is not. If it costs eight
cents to carry passengers, then the
city must pay the bill out of the
public treasury, if the value of the
service is not collected from passen-
gers.

The Whole and the Parts

We print on this page an item of
mathematics that has larger bear
ing upon coal, upon strikes, upon
Bolshevism, upon any attempted
rule by small and ambitious minor
ity.
The problem of unrest has unity
that every one feels, whether able to
put it in words or not. 1t is new in
form and in it's present life and
death Importance. The precise So
luton has yet to be worked out-a
fresh and clearer conception of
sovereignty must be conceived and
formulated and applied.
Meantime, the proposition of
mathematics elsewhere cited, con-
tested and upheld offers as a preg-
nant suggestion of the truth that the
parts of a whole never can exceed
the whole in their sum. They never
have and they never will The whole
is greater than any Of its parts.
Split the people Ct America into as
many unions and soviets as YOU will:
let each one assume to itself all the
power and rights and threats that it
will; not one of them, not all of
them, can be greater than the ma
ton of us ALL whose rights are para
mount and must prevail unless chaos
is to supersede civilization.
This is old, old stuff, as old as
Euclid, at any rate Every now and
then some one like our correspondent
thinks that trick has been found
that will evaGe eternal truth. Com
pare the interesting case of Nicolai
Lenine, Of Petrograd, and his die
tatorship endeavoring to run a
nation for hand-workers only. But
the truth sooner or later wins.
In no state, especially in no modern
state enjoying the advantages Of
specialized and complex industry,
can any part be permitted to AFRO
gate to itself power that threatens
the lives and safety Of the whole. If
such part does uprise the will of
the whole must sooner or later as
sert itself, act for itself and down
the part-as volunteer coal miners,
working for the whole population Of
Kansas, are mining coal to-day.

The Six-Hour Day

Baron Leverhulme, Great Brit
aims most distinguished soapmaker,
in America to advocate the six-hour
day, has been doing some figuring,
and he shares the result with the
American public.
He imagines a factory whose
product is 1000 items week and
which, aside from raw materials,
has overhead expenses of $4,000 a
week and pay roll of $4,000 a
week for forty -eight-hour labor
The production cost would be $40 an
item.
Then he supposes the same fac
tory went to a thirty-six hour
week with no increase in overhead,
using two shifts Of six hours each,
and paying as much for six hours
as before for eight hours, or $4,000
a week. With no increase of speed
or productivity per operative 1,500
items would be produced for $15 900,
or at the old cost of $40 per item.
The extra wage would come from
the saving from a more intensive
using of the plant
But the baron further contends
that it would be possible to make the
wheels turn faster with a six-hour
day, and that instead of 1900 items
there would be probably 1000 items,
and that, therefore. the cost for
each item would fall to $3.50, to be
oriven IN the nnhlic int lower prices.

A Contract Not a Contract

Mayor Hylan, recognizing for the
first time the equity of the request
for higher street railway fares,
acknowledges it is hard to resist the
plcadings of those who argue that
Everything has gone up except
fares and point to the millions in
good faith invested.
The Mayor heretofore has iden-
titled the companies as robbers and
conspirators, and boasted he could
make their business pay. Now his
tone, which has reflected the color
of the mind of Hearst, has changed.
He is sorry for the companies, but
bargain is a bargain, and those who
stood to win may not complain now
that conditions are against them.
lie holds he has not the right to be
generous, that allegiance to the obl-
cations of his trusteeship requires
him coldly to insist on the city's
pound of flesh.
A contract is a contract, and if
there was a flat contract to carry
passengers for five cents the May
or's position could scarcely be suc1
cessfully assailed. But he might
read the subway contracts again. He
would find matter he now ignores,
which skaters his case.
The companies agreed to five
cent fare, but the city also agreed, if
the stipulated fare did not realize
enough to meet principal and inter-
est, that the private investors were to
be preferred in income distribution,
the city getting nothing until pri-
vate capital is paid.
The owners of the securities of
the two principal traction companies
are thus not in danger of ultimate
loss. If eight-cent fares are needed

War-Engendering Idealism

Nearly seven years have passed
since Madero's murder and the seiz-
ure of power by Huerta, Mexico's Le-
nine.
The bloody Huerta went and the
equally bloody Carranza came with
out discernible Improvement. Mex
leo is still Mexico-has more ban
dts, life and property are less
secure, the wretched poems work as
hopelessly, as many children starve,
and there is marked increase in the
savage hatred of Americans.
The President and the American
people have shown the most patient
idealism to Mexico. The President
believed that if he did not relax his
benevolent attitude our troublesome
national neighbor would be con-
quered by kindness. SO Washington
notified Americans in Mexico that
they could not look for protection.
In response American towns have
been raided and their inhabitants
butchered; soldiers on Mexican soil
by the governments orders have
been waylaid and slaughtered, and
aviators and consul have been kid
raped and held for ransom.
The President had faith in the
professions of believed
him when he advertised that he
sought to restore constitutional dem
: ocratic government. He permitted
him to get arms from our side Of the
border and backed him so ardently
IS finally to drive Huerta into exile.
Then Venustiano not only bit the
hand that petted him, which the
President did not care much about,
but set up a regime as autocratic and
far less humane than those Of Diaz
and Huerta.
If ever idealisn did not pay be-
cause of the behavior of the bene-
5iciaries Of the idealism. Carranza
and his following furnished an ex-
ample. The more We have done to
deserve confidence and friendship,
the greater has been Carranza's en-
venomed hatred Why? No one has
yet explained. 1t seems a case for
alienists to investigate.
The pursuit of this mirage of
idealism has steadily brought US
closer to hostlities. Having lamen-
tably failed to escape war which
10 one in this country wants, it seems
time to try mixture that has lit
tie more realism in 1.-THE realism,
for example, of q pacific blockade or
denial to Mexicans in this country of
rights that Americans do not enjoy
in Mexico. The expostulations of
the Department of State seem vain.
Perhaps Carranza can be induced to
have more regard for the advice of
Mexicans Who see that Mexico will
be wrecked If he is allowed to con-
tinue to display his Yankeephobia.
