SCHOOL GOVERNMENT.

School children feel the spirit of
the age. and in a good many recent
cases have gone out on strike for
some grievance. In one recent case
$50 children walked out because, as
alleged, the high school principal had
slapped a girl student. The pupils
demanded that the principal apollo
gize to the girl or resign.
Teachers are not perfect. They
have human feelings. Like anyone
else they sometimes lose self-control
1t would be a very wonderful teacher
who did not occasionally make some
slip.
Now If the pupils were to make an
issue of every such error. there won't
be much school discipline. The chill
dren will get it into their heads that
they are the real governing authori-
ty, and may walk out" any time.
They are quite likely to adept an at
titude of sullen and passive resistance,
and consider themselves the judges
whether they shall study or not.
Most school children need firm
hand. They work cheerfully when
they know they have to do so. But if
there is a feeling of doubt about it,
if they can parley and argue, there
will be little work done.
If teachers feel they must secure
the assent of the pupils before any
rule can be enforced, their authority
will be gone. If they make serious
mistakes let the parents take tho mat
ter up. But let the parents not raise
ructions over every little friction. No
teacher will work under such condi-
tons.
The majority of school strikes prob
ably occur because parents encourage
to an attitude of resistance. |
Parents should know better. An UNI
disciplined school is never a. good |

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

There are many lines of business to
enter which now one must take out a
license, or at least give reports to the
government of business statistics.
The field of government activity
constantly enlarges Many of these
extensions are absolutely necessary.
When we drove horses, little or no
regulating was called for. Now most of
the states maintain large departments
of people to license automobiles and
their operators and control this traf-
fic. The assessing and collecting of
the federal income tax is another new
function requiring costly machinery.
These are only two of many new
fields of government activity. The
cost to the public is great and includes
not merely the force of government
departments, but the time it takes
business concerns to make their re-
ports and deal with the government.
Some people fully expect to see
an army of inspectors, mostly poll
ticians in need of a job, swarm over
the country investigating everybody.
This is an extreme view, and the
public feels that many practices of
modern life do need control. But the
national government and the states
should go carefully. The cost of reg
ulation and its benefits should Re

to new fields of inspection and super

In November and December, 1915,
our successes against Serbia and Mon
tenegro had brought on the fourth
Isonzo battle; and about Christmas
the Russian offensive on the south
ern portion of the Austro- Hungarian
front This attack lasted into Janu-
airy of 1916. Both concluded in a
successful resistance on the part of
our allies.
The two general staffs had now to
make their plans for the campaign
of 1916. Both were to attempt an
offensive to bring about decision.
The German command was to attack
at Verdun, while the Austro- Hunga-
rian command was to invade Italy
from the Tyrol.
From a strategical point of view
Verdun as the point of attack was
well chosen. This fortress had always
served as particularly dangerous
sally-point, which very seriously
threatened our rear communications,
as the autumn of 1918 disastrously
proved. Gle refers to the American
advance from the Argonne forest,
which finally cut the main German
lines through Sedan. leading to Metz.)
Had we only been able to reach the
defenses on the right bank of the
Mouse, we should have achieved COM
plete success. Our strategic position
on the western front. as we'll as the
tactical situation of our troops in the
st. Mihiel salient, would have been
materially improved.
The attack began on February 81,
and had great success. especially
during the early days, owing to the

A GOOD PUBLIC INVESTMENT.

A great light is shining throughout
the country, bringing clearly to the
vision of the people that education
would end many evil conditions and
remove misunderstanding that cause
trouble to the United States. If the
federal government can aid the states
by direct contributions to the cost of
schools to educate aliens, the general
welfare of the people will be ad-
Vanced.
New Mexico has a compulsory
school law to cover the needs of alien
children as well as American boys
and girls. But if the federal govern
ment can bear a part of the cost, bet
ter schools can be provided. And the
national educational department
might join in providing for instruc-
ton everywhere of illiterate adults
aliens and others, many of whom
would need no compulson if a system
We're provided that would invite gem
eral acceptance. especially if no in
dividual cost and no hardship be
exacted.
AS a result of its investigation Of
the strike of steel workers the senate
committee on education and labor has
drafted bill designed to promote the
so-called "Americanization" move
ment
1t provides for the education OF
aliens who cannot read. speak anu
write our language This scheme
would be carried out by the federal
government in cooperation with the
states.
The federal appropriation of $12,-
500, 900 annually for the next three
years would be supplemented by APP
preparations of the several states ac-
cepting the assignment proportionate
to the amount received by them. AND
the benefits of education would be |
provided not merely for aliens above |
the age of l6. but for adult citizens
OF the United States who are illiterate.
For some time a similar measure |
strongly advocated by Secretary Lane
for the instruction of illiterates, has
been before congress, but the new bill
contains one vital and striking addi-
ton: The making of this elementary
education in our language and Gus
toms compulsory for the classes men
toned. They would attend school for
not less than 200 hours a year unit
they had completed a specified
course, and necessarily a penalty
would be provided for failure to OBJ
serve the law. This seems the only
way to make the law a success.
New Mexico rightly insists that ev-
cry child shall receive the benefits of |
within its general powers in applying
the compulsory system to adults |
This has been shown to be necessary
as a matter of self-defense. For
ty persons who were classed as pro-
fessional reformers riding a hobby
They We're secuted as theorists.
But now. after emergency has
arisen, there is haste to enact their
theory into law. 1t is easy to be wise
after the fact, but surely If we had |
taken more pains before this to teach
foreign workers our language and !
ways, and the value of our institu-
tons framed for the welfare and pro-
lection of all, the professional trouble
makers would scarcely have obtained
such a following in this country.

WINE AND WOMEN.

The law permitting the manufacture

1t may be that congress. in its wis

come inebriates through home wine
making, should be confined to those
who have wives to care for them. At
least that is a logical conclusion from
the ruling that wine and women must
