TRAIN THE DOGS

There are few things more annoy
ing than to have dog run out and
bark and snap at you, whether you
are driving car or walking. If you
are walking. you are likely TO get
scare. to say the least. and II
driving you are likely to run over
the dog-and then the owner of the
animal gets 'all het up"
Some dogs will lie in the road un-
til an automobile almost touches
them before they will move. Often
the owner watches them do this. but
he says nothing-never tries to
break the dog of the habit.
Some dogs have as much sense as
their masters; possibly that is the
reason their masters never try to
teach them anything. Inasmuch as
this is fact, dogs will always run
out and bark at you.

CITY OF ORPHANS

The true horror OF the famine in
Syria" says man returned after
six years of relief work, has been
the moral breakdown. The horror
of having thousands of neglected
children growing up without homes
or education, the victims OF a de-
moraiized environment, is awful to
contemplate. In the small area OF
Syria for which I compiled statistics,
there are 349 villages, with 1884
orphans and 9,6SS children with only
one parent"
A group OF Americans In charge
OF local relief under the Red Cross
and the Near East committee have
worked out plan for rescuing these
children. 1t is not matter Of get
ting them food alone, although that
is the first great need. They must
also be trained and educated. pre-
pared to assume the responsibilities
which will be theirs in few years.
They are the nucleus OF the new ma
tion growing up through the ruins
of the old. They will be the farm
ers. mechanics, artisans, laborers,
teachers, ETC., of the future.
In order to do this tremendous
work Of training, city of orphans
is being founded. The committee
plans to bring these children togeth-
er in several big groups to facilitate
instruction.

Forty Studies offered.

Forty different studies are offered
the boys grouped In four general, de
partments-animaI husbandry, agron-
Omy, horticulture and forestry and
rural economics and sociology. In adj
ditidn supporting subjects are offered
at other colleges Of the university.
In the first account of this American
university to be received by the de-
partment Of agriculture Prof. r. w.
Beckman Of Iowa State college says:
1.-THE immediate results of tie educa-
tional program Of the commission are
worth while, but farseelng men expect
even greater results In the future.
Secretary Baker, in his address at the
university, said he believed that out of
the commissions work would come
permanent educational policy for tfc
army, combining military training with
training for the yocations and for civil
life. Agriculturally the immediate re-
suits will be large. for the farmer-sol.
diers of the expeditionary forces are
being stirred TO a full realization of
their opportunities and their 0bliga-
tl0ns In the rural field. They are
thinking as they never thought before
about the rural tasks that await them
back home, and they are likely to re-
turn better qualified to deal with them
and with a new spirit toward them"

THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE RIou

More important than the action oi
the authorities in ,quelling race riots
is the attitude of the individual in
preventing them.
The country is unquestionably con-
fronted with a dangerous situation.
There is reason to believe that the
race riots in Chicago and Washington
are part of the deliberate plan to
promote trouble in this country.
OF course where rioting does
break out, the rioters of whatever
race or color should be handled with
impartial severity. The man who
takes part in mob activity is a men
ace to the public safety, whichever
eide he represents.
But much can be done to prevent
the spread OF racial feeling if indi-
Viduals will preserve a fair attitude
Of mind and refrain in their homes
and in public from excited or excit-
ing speech. Racial antipathy can
never be swept away, but it need not
degenerate into race riots.
1t is possible for a man who him
self would abhor rioting or mob rule
to precipitate it by expressing vio-
lent sentiments in the hearing of the
man who tends to be a disturber. It
80 mp to the better class of individ-
uals Of all races to hold in check
their own antipathies, to inspire by
precept and example those less apt
10 exercise self-control.
A Hight breeze will fan a small
blaze into a consuming fire. A
chance word or reckless act may pre-
cipitate battle in which lives are
lost and property is destroyed. That's
the way riots and lynchings start.

Idea Makes a Hi

tuSa WAKES q fItk-
This was the work of the army edu.
cation commission. in cooperation with
the department Of agriculture and va.
rious state colleges and universities.
The idea made hit with the soldiers
at once. Each week tens OF thousands
OF them are In class or lecture rooms
established throughout the army. The
teaching stan from the home colleges
found the men eager to talk about
farming back home." which was one
OF the objects of the experiment. They
are satisfied by the interest displayed
in the class and by the fact that more
than 500 farmers clubs have been or
gnnized. with membership of fully
10000 soldiers. One day flying
squadron Of "city fellers" came over
to the university to get some agrl-
cultural DOPE" There was enjoyment
OF army pleasantly at first. but In the
end several Of the visitors confessed
themselves so interested that they, too,
soon would be In the school.
80 many vi
forces farmersoldiers have chance
to go to agricultural schools which
maintain courses OF six to twelve
weeks and give instruction in several
fundamental studies. They are called
post and divisional schools. They are
usually under the general supervision
OF representatives Of the commission,
although the principals and teachers
are from the army. They are held In
all sorts Of places, wherever rooms and
equipment can be found. In Germany
abandoned agricultural schools In the
occupied territory have been taken
over. Even the land surrounding such
schools has been made use OF for prac-
tical work with crops, soil and gar
dens. Sometimes live stock IL secured
for judging, but usually the classes
are taken to nearby farms for study
and observation Of the live stock found
there.

SUNDAY SCHOOL DELEGATES TO JAPAN CONGRESS MAY
 HAVE SPLENDID LODGINGS

TOXIC. Aug, 2l-- By A. P.- A proposal that the foreign delegates to the International Sunday School con vention to be held in Tokio in the au- tumnaof 1920 be lodged in Japanese houses has been made by Japanese.
 It is suggested that one thousand Japanese families open their homes to he visitors and that the delegates be given an opportunity to experience something of real Japan They would sleep on mattresses laid on the tataml or straw-matting floor, and they would move in stockinged feet instead of shoes or boots. Instead of opening doors and windows, they would get used to shoji, or paper covered sliding panels. Instead of reclining in chairs and divanS, they would sit on the spot less tatami floor and get accustomed to the simplicity of Japanese internal UeCOIdllOn.
 In the morning each Japanese host or hostess would supply the two ot three foreign guests with bread, milk and eggs, giving a Japanese break fast only when the foreigner request ed it. Luncheon and dinner could be taken by the delegates in the hotels.
 A writer says: "It is not only the practical solution of the difficulty but it will also serve towards breaking up the barrier that has been for so many years a stumbling block to prefect un- derstanding and friendship with for eigners."
