Deadlock of Congress Over "Free Seeds"

one cent, and II costs for transports
tion alone $4,000 600 and more.
Representative Langley, Kentucky
My observation has heen that the men
who talk the loudest and protest the
most against the distribution OF gar
den seeds are the stingiest men In this
house.
Senator King. Utah-1 think 1t is y
most disgraceful performance that ",
should appropriate money for this
purpose when we know the object OF
1t and know the misuse of the ap
preparation.
Senator Thomas. Colorndo-Just NJ
long as the house knows that the sen.
ate will ultimately yield under the cir
cumstances. just so long will such
abuses as this old seed abuse. that Is
hoary with age and claims to be sane
tilted by time, be continued upon this
bill
Senator Kenyon. Iowa. do not he
lieve there is anything that has held
up the American congress TO so much
ridicule and contempt as this free-seed
item.
Senator Smith, Georgia-I think II
is all right. For eight years we have
gone through the farce OF striking out
the seed appropriation In the senate
and then yielding to the house.

In the great stained glass window

In short. the best part Of the instruc-

is training a man to stand on his

MINNEsoTA's MODEL LAWS.

Minnesota laws are being scanned
with unusual interest by other states
this year, as possible models for new
legislation. Inquiries are coming con-
stantly to state departments, stating
that it is proposed to model depart
ments on the Minnesota system and
full information is wanted.
Officials Of the state securities COM
mission reported that many states are
contemplating enacting laws covering
the same scope of activity as the Min
nesota department, and are seeking in
formation on it.
The department of education is be-
ing asked regarding its proposed legls-
lation and considerable interest is tax
en- by the various educators of the
country in the part-time compulsory
education law, as proposed by the
members of the state board of educa-

Thrift in the Schools.

The next great accomplishment IN
educational matters will be the intro
duction of thrift teachings in the
schools of America. Forces are now at
work to this end, and in several states
definite phases of thrift work are be-
ing added to the school curricuia
The educational forces of this coun-
try are proving their worth when they
olive announcement to the propaga :
tion OF such sound practices. The first
stems in this work were taken in 1918
when the international Congress for
Thrift met in San Francisco under the
auspices of the American Society OF
Thrift. Later the National Education
association and the American Society
for Thrift joined forces and eoncen-
trated their efforts through commit
mittee of the two associations. AT a
meeting of the National Council Of Ed
ucation in Portland, Ore, in July, 1917,
this committee reported that the intro
duction of thrift teachings in the
schools was both advisable and posi-
bic, and outlined plans by which the
work could be developed.
These interests also conducted two
nation wide essay contests in which
several thousand prizes were awarded
TO school children. A similar contest
was held in the New York city schools
under the auspices of the American so
rietv for Thrift in which more than
100000 compositions on the subject OF
thrift were entered
A great amount of literature has
been disseminated in educational CIR
lies on the subject of thrift in the
schools. and definite text books have
been published, and arc still being is
sued from time TO time.
II Is not considered a discouraging
aspect that the work has progressed
slowly. as II is recognized among lead
ing educators that in following new
lines of education il is highly essen
tial that the ground work be thor
ouehlv and adequately laid. This Is

Boy Scouts With Warnings,

One of the most interesting features
of the mo Accident Week" campaign
in this city is the presence at the most
crowded corners in the downtown sec
ton, in the rush period of the after
noon, of numbers Of boy scouts bearing
slogan signs. These little fellows are
well chosen for this duty, The organi-
cation which they represent stands for
safety and security. The boys them
selves are trained in helpfulness and
good order The presence of boy
scout bearing a BE CAREFUL" placard
on a board impresses everybody with
the admonition with double force,
1t will be impossible to keep these
boys on duty at these corners perma
nently. They will have done their bit
and earned the thanks of Washington
for their service But the hope is that
everybody viii carry in mind the pic
ture they present for all time. When
ever there il a temptation to take a
chance with the traffic, remember the
figure of the boy scout carrying aloft
a word of warning. Whoever thus gets
mental glimpse of the lad in khaki
will be inclined to check his impulse to
cross the street at the wrong time at
the wrong place.
Hurry is the cause Of most traffic
accidents, hurry on the part of the
pedestrian or on the part of the mo-
torist. And there is not one Of a thou.
sand who needs to hurry or to whom
the few minutes saved by haste is OF
the slightest Importance. This spirit Of
hurry causes many motorists to take
their cars by the shortest cuts through
the business section, whereas if they
would go out of their way little bit
they could find less congested streets
