At last accounts Carranza was re-
sisting capture desperately. but ap-
parently with little hope Of escape The
rebel leaders, however, say they do not
propose to kill him, which is somewhat
encouraging. Mexico has been dis
graced by too many nassacres for politi-
cal purposes. without having Carranza
made victim. He deserves reputation,
but his assassination would serve no good
purpose.

For the fifth time the Socialist party
has nominated Eugene v. Debs for Presi-
dent, putting him up this year despite the
fact that he is now in jail. So confirmed
is the habit OF the Socialists in nominat-

continue it after he is in Heayen-orsom

MoTHERs ARE sTrpIors.

Noluminous reports from the parents
reading course indicate careful study. In
one California community l50 mothers
banded themselves into club and have
met regularly for four years TO read and
discuss III turn each book on the parents
course. If the mothers remember and
practice all that they have read Of child
welfare, their children should be exception
ally healthy and happy.
The course for parents, started SIX
years ago, was the beginning of the Bureau
of Education home reading circle One
course suggested another, and now there
are, among the IL courses in use, list for
boys; another for girls; lists on American
heroes; American history, world heroes;
American literature; famous fiction; the
worlds great literary bibles; great itera-
tuue; French literature, as well as the
original parents revised course
A course in modern literature seems TO
be needed as standard for up-to-date
reading. Many of the readers Of the
classical and famous fiction courses com
pare the books read with modern novels
To the detrnnent of the latter. The idea is
always expressed in such way that it IS
obvious that the reader refers to the worst
novels published, from the literary stand
point Whether modern writers are pro-
ducng anything worthy to rank with the
classics is beside the point, which is that
few people are acquainted with even half
dozen Of the modern authors of recognized
ability. The home reading division is
doubtful as to whether it is within its
province to recommend current works,
and feels that critics, book reviewers, and
librarians should do more to help the
readers to gauge the literary standard Of
modern books.
The division is now arranging after
war, or vocation courses on such sub
iects as shipbuilding, steel working, ma
chine shop, and navigation.
). The division, by the way, consists en-
tirely of the director, Miss Lombard, who
reads and files all the reports and answers
her correspondents questions, and plans
new courses. The actual selection Of books
has usually been left to a committee of
college professors or other recognized
authorities on the subject at hand, but
with so many readers in its charge and
