vas absent on a preaching engage

was absent OF a preaching engage
nnent. and an account of her in
terment in "Oliver street Baptist
burying ground" After some pa
thetic details, he writes ,of their ar
rival In New York after a long and
perilous voyage of sixty-two days.
During the latter part Of 1t we were
out OF many things, and had been for
nearly eve weeks on an allowance
OF water, part Of the time two quarts
a day. and later on only one. We had
many fine days, but, generally speak
ing, we had gales in succession and
violent head winds. We GER
tatnly at one time had very little hope
of seeing land. During most Of the
voyage my dear partner was sick, and
lay in bed. We often gave one an.
other and our dear children and sis-
ter to the Lord, expecting a watery
grave. One dreadful night especial
" l shall never forget. q mighty sea
broke over .us, carried OFF our hatch,
and poured down, on us In torrents.
1t struck the captain. who was half
way up the miGzeh mast, carried off
the galley and four sailors in It, but
was fortunately stopped by the bull
bwarks. Very providentialiy It was not
followed by another till our hatch
was put on and 1aghed. An.
other evening, when the ship was in
full sail, she was struck by a gale,
which tore most Of our sails to rags.

Hut11anities in Education

Reconstruction is a word which one
hears and sees often these days. Not
only is there to be reconstruction Of
states. cities, industries and homes de-
stroyed by the war, but the war, some
people would have us believe, has
shown that many of the institutions
and practices Of civilized society are
either useless or inadequate, and
these Ills must be reconstructed. In
dustry is to be reconstructed. The
church is to be reconstructed. Educa-
ton is to be reconstructed.
Our teachers and professors have
been s%ingularly stupid, according to
this view, and radical changes must
be made in education. One cannot
read what some teachers are saying.
and what appears In the educational
journals without the conclusion that
there-ts already a considerable amount
OF hysteria on this subject, with ian
ger that there will be much more. 1t
Is certain to be expressed in every
educational convention for some time
to come. We are destined to hear the
construction of educational systems
and suggestions for bringing lit about.
At last we are to have the miracle Of
a system of education from bottom to
top that will finally fit every one pass
ing through the schools into precisely
tne meme ne SnOul0 occupy, n no
mistake. This will be accomplished by
scientific perception Of capacity and
unerring efficiency in choice of meth.
DDS and subjects.
We should keep our heads, and be
careful, too, to keep our. schools until
WI are sure we have better ones. Some
disappointments are in store. The
churches will still have TO reckon
with the Old Adam of human nature,
and the schools. as in the past so in
the future. will have a mentality to
work. upon containing a large alloy
Of intractability. To, adopt Professor
Sn1iley's remark at the recent con-
vention Of the Midest Classical asso-
citation, in every school house there
! will be found. in the future, as hereto
fore. paleolithic children, neolithic
children, bronze age children, iron age
children, children Of the golden age,
children of a. thousand different pti-
tudes and limitations. 1.-The mussed
up condition Of our educational pro-
gram" he said, the incoherent
jwrangling about educational theory,
is largely due to our failure to keep
fthis steadily in mind" There is a
chance for still more incoherent
wrangling about educational theory in
the ancient humanities.'-Omaha
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1919-01-01
MIXING ISSUES

1t is unfortunate when a public man of recognized
character and ability permits his strong feeling in rela-
ton to one issue to inject into it matters belonging =x-
clusively to another, for in so doing he weakens his po-
.sition on both issues. That is what Senator Chamberlain
does when, in insisting, very properly, on the best posi-
BILE care for our wounded men, and the best possible or
ranecments for the rehabilitation of our forces, he
Jumps that question with the manner in which settlement
is 70 be made with those who have had either regular or
informal contracts with the government for war supplies.
Mr.. Chamberlain suggests that if the war department
were to pay half the attention to the handling OF it's re-
turning troops that it does to forcing through congress
|lesislation to protect contractors who made contracts
for war supplies over the telephone in violation Of law"
That statement does not belong in the discussion
which Mr.. Chamberlain has undertaken, and were the
speaker to make it in any discussion he would not be
doing himself or others justice. Contracts for war sup
plies may have been made in violation Of law. 1t is GER
tain that many of them were without the specific sane
ton Of law, and without the following of all the forms
OF preparing to demobilize, we should have been sending
our belated troops and. our belated supplies across the
ocean to drive the Huns back from the Channel, if. IN
deed, the Allies still retained any hope Of winning the
war. +
When we started letting war contracts we had ahead
of us such a job as was never contemplated when the
existing laws were made. Two things were essential.
force and speed. Cost was a relatively unimportant mat
ter, and an official who would have delayed an import
ant contract merely because all the figures had not been
set down in their proper places on the usual blanks would
have deserved to be informed as an enemy to the govern
ment.
Contracts were let, formally or informally; the goods
were delivered ;the war job was done. The closing of the
war or, what amounts to the same thing for this purpose.
the, signing Of the armisticc, found some contracts not
yet begun, some just started, some half finished, The
government had. no further need for the supplies and or
dered the work stopped. Is it proposed that now we have
passed the emergency the government shall take advan-
tage of technical informalities to which it was itself
necessarily a party to evade payment for goods honestly
made and faithfully delivered That would be the effect
OF the course proposed by those who oppose the legisla-
ton, or something like it, asked for by the war DEPART
ment.
All necessary steps should be taken to prevent fraud
and extortion. But, whatever the method employed. the
government must deal justly and honorably with those
who have served it in1its time of need, both with those
who have served on the field and in the trenches, and
those who have served in the factory and the counting
house..

PHILIPPINES WERE NOT BOUGHT

In a recent article discussing peace settlements, past
and prospective, the statement is made that, the Limited
states purchased the Philippines from Spain at the close
Of our recent war with our former neishbor. This is
distinctly an error, although it is an error Of the sort
that was made at the time of the settlement, and which
was persisted in, largely for political effect, for some
time thereafter. The United States did pay Spain the
sum Of $50, 100000. and the assertion was quite common
in this country that We had bought the sovereignty OF
the Philippines, with their eight billion inhabitants.
People who read political literature or attended political
meetings in the summer of 1900 can easily recall such
statements as that whereas the price of a slave before
the Civil war often ran about 1900, the United States
had bought the Filipinos at the rate of $3.50 q head.
The fact is that we drove Spain out Of the Philip
pines, just as we drove her out of Cuba. We did not
pines, Just as we drove her out OF Cuba. We did not re-
tain control of Cuba because we believed the Cubans cap
able of organizing and conducting a civilized government
Of their own. Because we did not believe that there was
enough civilized people in the Philippines to maintain
an orderly government there we prepared to remain un-
til further notice. We were not required to pay Spain
anything. We could, without violating any law of ma
lions. have required Spain to compensate US in money
for the cost of the war. But, while we had fought Spain.
and vanquished her, we had no unkindly feeling toward
her. The dscadent state Of the nation was reflected IN
the condition Of the Spanish troops, but, in striking con-
trast to what has been noted among the Germans. there
was found among the spaniards a spirit of sportsman
ship which won our admiration even while we were ad-
niinistering castigation.
Spain had suffered greatly in loss of territory, power
and prestige, and there was in this country no DISPOSE
ton to crowd her to ting wall. Hence, not only was
there no demand for war indemnities, but our govern
mcnt agreed-and the act was very generally approved
by the people-in taking over the government Of the
Philippines. to pay Spain a fair price for the actual
property that we took over with the government, and
which had been %rightfully owned by Spain. This prop
crty included public buildings, wharf and harbor i'm
Nprovements, and the like, which had been built by the
Spanish government, and which were needed in our adj
gninistration Of affairs. The price of this property was
Fixed at twenty millions, and we paid the money willing
~. But we bought neither Philippines nor Filipinos.
