| THE great lesson taught US as ma
l ton by the war Is that unpre-
lparedness is a great mistake both So
cially and economically.
We were not prepared for war as e
race physically. Draft examinations
showed from 30 to 50 per cent OF our
men were unfit for service.
We were unprepared from the stand
point OF education. for we found 7e0,-
600 nIiterates in the first draft. and
lin 1910 we knew from our census re-
turns that We had 100000 illiterates
over 10 years old.
We were unprepared for war as q
nation because we had at the begin
ming Of the war 1900. 600 non-English
speaking foreigners within our bord-
ers- Whole communities were and
still are made up Of foreign peoples.
These foreign cities were the hot
beds Of antiAmerican propaganda

bolshevistic.
Crisis Forced Attention
Educators and social workers knew.
took a great crisis to make the nation
fully appreciate our shortcomings.
Now the great question before the
American people is. shall we allow
these conditions TO continue to exlst2
And. II we are physically. mentally
and socially unfit for war. are we So

Modern idea Of Education.
Perhaps the modern idea Of a COM
plete education is best stated by Prof
Paul Hanus in the following:
The education demanded by a dem
ocratic society today Is an education
that prepares a youth to overcome
the Inevitable difficulties that stand
In the way OF his material and spirit
ual Advancement: an education that,
from the beginning. promotes his nor
nal physical development through the
most saiutary environment and appro-
pirate physical training; that opens
his mind and let's the world In
through every natural power OF OBJ
servation and assimilation; that eul-
tivates hand power as well as head
power: that lucuicates the apprecia-
ton OF beauty in nature and IN art.
and insists on the performance Of duty
to self and to others; an education
that IN youth and early manhood.
while continuing the work already
done. enables the youth to discover
his own powers and limitations, and
that impels him through oft repeated
intellectual couquests or other forms
Of productive effort to look forward
TO a life OF ha0itual achievement with
his head or his hands. or both. that
enables him to analyze for himself the
Intellectual, economic. and political
problems Of his time. and that gives
the insight, the Interest and the
power TO deal with them as success
fully as possible for his own advance
ment and for social service; and fin
ally. that causes him to realize that
the only way to win and retain the
prizes OF life. namely. wealth. culture
leisure honor. Is an ever increasing
usefulness and thus makes him feel

Educational Needs OF the Hour.
Such scheme for a mo ern school
calls for program providing for four
different types Of training about as
3 follows:
Academic work including the
/ traditional subjects OF reading. writ
ing. spelling, grammar, arithmetic,
geography and history.
special work including hand
work, drawing. the beginnings OF
science. cooking, sewing, etc
Social group work Including
public speaking. singing. Instrumental
music. dramatics. motion pictures
class exercises. moral training. train
ing in social service, etc.
Physical education and play IN
Guiding gymnastic exercises. games,
athletics, hygiene and health educa-
tion.
Must Have Facilities.
The execution Of such a plan calls
for adequate facilities and organiza-
ton, a new and different tyre OF
plant. a revised program. a differen-
tiated corps OF teachers and a new
spirit in instruction
In the various school systems Of the
country more or less progress has
been made IN one or more OF these
types OF activities. but Il has been
very uneven Cities have built better
buildings with gymnasiums. swim
ming pools. shops and laboratories.
but IN no one place has q consistent
policy been worked out Many large
cities stiII have very little beyond
the traditional book studies
Children Must BE studied.
But the modern program also calls
for the adaptation OF the school TO the
needs and capacities OF the children.
Some places have provided special
classes for detectives and tunercular
children. Differentiated courses are
being offered IN some places IN the
upper GRADES for those who mend %
enter high school and those exnecting
to 20 into the industries at the end
OF the elementary course
Still. statistics OF elimination and
retardation make u evident that 'the
schools are not yet adequately meet
ing the problem OF providing programs
adapted 70 wide differences in physi-
cal endowment, mental capacity. and
vocational destination
child Welfare An Issue.
Here and there throughout the
country. likewise. progress has been
made IN child welfare. There are med
zeal Inspection and dental clinics with
free service for children whose par
ents cannot pay. and play and recrea-
ton under school supervision. How
ever, army statistics show how FAR
short We are OF our ideals In this i'm
portant phase Of education.
Good Teachers OF First Importance.
But the problem OF education Is not
alone one OF administration The
teacher IS the chief factor in the IN
struction OF youth Much has hee7
done toward the better preparation OF
teachers and the training OF teachers
IN services.
There are IN this country 80 900
teachers who have not a. much as

Little Rock Folk, After
Visit Here.

Little Rock, June 3O.-(Specia1. y
Four occupants of Ford automobile,
driven by Roy E. Chambers, 1908
Cumberland street, received painful
but not fatal injuries when the car
overturned about 9 o'clock SunGey
night at "Bad Mans Cap" near Red
field, about % miles southeast of this
city on the Dollarway road.

body; her mother, Mrs. C. C. Fisher,
who was badly shaken up; her fother,
C. c. Fisher, badly cut and bruised; ;
and her step daughter, Miss Thelma

wounds. Mr.. Chambers was not in
jured.
The party had motored to Pine
Bluff and were on the return trip.
Chambers had xbeen driving rather
fast, but had slowed down for the
turn. The curve was too abrupt how
ever, and the car capsized. It over
turned in the middle Of the road.

BORAH CHARGES
BANKS BEHIND
PEACE LEAGUE
Alleges Thomas Lamont Pur-
chases Newspaper in Propa-
ganda Work.

Washington, June 3O.-The League
of Nations covenant and the influences
at work to secure it's acceptance by
the United States furnished the vehi-
Gle today. for another long debate in
the senate.
Renewing his charge that interna-
tlonal bankers are sponsoring the lea
que for selfish purposes, Senator
Borah, republican, Of Idaho charged
that Thomas w. Lamont, a partner
in the Morgan banking house, had
purchased the New York Evening
Post as part of a propaganda to force
senate acceptance of the covenant. He
charged that the league to enfore
peace by the former President Taft
also was controlled by the bankers.
Senator Hitchcock, democrat, of
Nebraska, defending Mr. Taft and his
organization, replied that not only
business men but organized labor, the
churches, the farmers and the people
generally were demanding ratifica-
ton OF the covenant. Every test of
popular opinion that had been taken
anyhere, he said, had shown an over
whelming sentiment for the league.
The league covenant was defended
also by Senator Gerry, democrat. of
Rhode Island, in speech, declaring
it the only hope Of Europe during re-
construction, and was attacked bv
Senator Fall, republican of New Mex
leo, who declared he could not vote for
its ratification without violating his
oath as a senator.
Many others were drawn into the
debate, which occupied virtually the
entire days session.

Intoxicated Naval Officer Pro-
vokes Rioting at Brest,
France.

Brest, June 30.-Two French civil
lians were killed and five American
soldiers and sailors were injured
severely, and more than 100 persons
wounded in riots here last night. Two
of the American soldiers are expected
to die.
The casualties occurred as result of
the exchange of shots between Ameri-
can military and naval police and
French sailors.
The trouble began, according to
available accounts, when an Ameri-
can naval officer, who is said to
have been drinking heavily, tore down
a French flag and trampled on it..
A crowd of Frenchmen attacked the
officer and it is reported, Kicked and
beat him until he was unconscious.
Americans who were not aware of
the cause of the fight, went to the aid
of the naval officer. The fight then
became general. A mob of French
civilians and soldiers and sailors at
tempted to rush the Hotel Moderne
where American officers were quar-
tered. They burned sentry box and
threw stones at Americans in uniform
wherever they found them. The
Americans, it is said retaliated.
A company of marines was hurried
to the scene and soon restored order.
Admiral Henri Salaum, the French
naval commander at Brest, ordered
the marines to return to their bar
racks. AS the marines marched back
to their quarters, it is declared, they
were pursued by mob throwing
stones and bricks.
The city is quiet today.
