MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS

The War Department recently ask
ed the educational institutions Of the
country to do all they could to es-
tablish patriotic scholarships for the
benefit of former service men. The
request met with immediate and gen.
ereus response.
From every section of the country
have come pledges OF full co-opera-
ton. Colleges, universities, agricul-
turaf schools. state and private insti-
tations and technical schools are all to
be found in the list Of those ready to
serve the former army and navy men
in this way.

CLEAN STREETS

The mayor and commissioner oi
public works, OF diddletown. O., have
been cleaning the city streets, at the
head of company Of volunteers. The
regular employees were laid off be-
cause there was no money in the
treasury to pay them, and the people
at special election refused to vote
the necessary funds.
.'rhe streets have got to be clean
ed" said the officials, and they pro
ceeded to clean them. 1t is fine
object lesson IN public service, ard
fine lesson for the parsinlonious c!ti-
zens of Middletown. They are to be
benefited in spite of themselves. In
the process they be may shamed into
playing their part-which is the pay
ment of sufficient taxes for effective
municipal housekeeping.
Three reasons for clean streets will
readily occur to anyone who thinks
the matter over Three rights are IN
volved that might be called inalien-
able: The right to health, the right
to convenient transportation and the
right not to have to look at ugliness
and disorder. These things are worth
paying for. In fact, they pay for
themselves.

CHEAP ROAD IMPROVEMENT

The cost of building first-class
paved roads this year is said to aver
age IS per cent higher than last
year. Many States have a good deal
Of money for highway improvement.
It is evident, however, that at best
the money available will not so very
far.
There is little disposition to with
hold any available funds merely be-
cause new construction is expensive.
Good roads are so essential to local
and interurban transportation, to city
bushes and agricultural development,
that even at present abnormal prices
for laber and material, they are prob
ably worth all they cost. There is a
tendency, though, to use discretion in
the expenditure.
A shrewd official in a State whose
highway department has s15,00o,0 900
to spend this year suggests that. a
large part of it is to be used in "mak-
ing lot Of roars passable by gravel
ing, limestoning. draining and repair
work. such as filing up ruts and
chuck holes"
This sort of work is too often
scorned nowadays. Though imperm-
anent, it is highly important A given

NAVAL PREPAREDNESS

Admiral Mayo, who commanded the
Atlantic fleet during the war, takes
issue with Admiral Sims as to the fit
ness sof the United States navy FOL
that struggle. He makes the fiat
statement that the American sea SER
vice was never better prepared than
when war was declared. He ampii-
ies that statement by adding that We
were as we'll prepared as England
was when the war broke out.
While some, upholding Sims. dis
pute this, perhaps it is not far from
the truth. but the truth is the state
hoent is not very creditable either tC
England or to ourselves. For the
British navy was notoriously not
ready when the war broke out in
1914. strange as it may seem to have
caught John Bulls navy unprepared
AS Sir Percy Scott has shown, only
ten British warships were fitted with
the system of director firing for their
heavy guns, and on no ship had the
same device been installed for the
six-inch guns. The admiralty had
fallen into the error Of regarding the
submarine boat as nothing more than
a toy. The navy was short of surface
craft to hunt the undersea boat. AND
as they afterward found out. the
English guns had far shorter range
than those of the enemy. and Ger
man shells had more penetrative pow

FARM VACATIONS.

The shortage Of farm labor is adj
mittedly more serious than ever be-
fore. It is going to be difficult for the
farmers, at best, to cultivate and har-
vest their crops this year: There is
one ray Of cheer, however, and it
comes from an unexpected source. It
is >the increasing propensity Of city
men to seek the country for their
summer vacations-not as boarders
or visitors, but as helpers.
It is. said that in New. York City
applications for vacation work on
farms are coming in already at the
rate Of 1000 week. They may nat
urally be expected to increase as the
summer approaches. There is a SIM
iiiar tendency observed in other cities,
though in many places no proper ma
chinery exists for bringing the CITY
men and the farmers together. Pro-
vision Of necessary facilities for reg
istration and distributing these mod
ern vacationists will do good deal in
every farming section to solve the
problem Of making full use of the
iand and providing food for the ma
ton.
City people. to be sure. seldom make
ideal farm hands. They are likely to
be s'soft" at the start, and by the time
they are hardened to the work their
vacation time is about up. 1t is hard
on them. at first and also hard on
the farmers employing them. But
they make up in willingness for what
they lack in skill and endurance. AT
the worst, they are far better than no
help at all.
There is no question Of their own
benefit. They go back to their resu-
! lar Jobs with new health and vlSor.
and with more money in their pock-
cts than they started with-a fact
quite at variance with the usual ex-
perience Of vacationists.

AN ARMY OF GARDENERS

= The United States School Gardenl
Army is planning more extensive
campaign during 1920 than at any
time ir =, comparatively brief his
tory
During the war this army of boys
and girls numbered q million. They
produced food crops yielding an aver
age net return of SIS per gardner
That may sound small as the financial
returns for a seasons labor, but when
it is multiplied by millions-therc
were 100000 gardeners last sum
mer, and the number is to be greatly
increased this year-it is found to to-
tai very respectable amount.
There is another side to the school
gardening which would make 1T
worth while even though the financial
returns were smaller. That is it's edu-
cational value AID its health and re-
creational features in cities. The di-
rector of the United States School
