the desire to be useful to men is not

to know how to be useful. Schools
at the present time make children UNI

wishes to apply his knowledge as soon

ficially prevents him from doing so.
He is kept on dictation and useless
problems, and the consolation offered
is that. after ending has studies and re-

be able to be useful to his relatives
and to Society. But anyone with any

Self Government in the School
Those who believe in a liberal ed
ucation are resolutely opposed to scol-
astic discipline and constraint in any
form, whether physical or moral, in the |
sphere of education. This must be the |
very basis Of Iibereal education, and |
it is an axiom which there is no need
to prove. Once constraint has been
done away with, measures Of police
supervision at once become futile, and |
such posts as projects" SO harmful |
TO the youthful mind). chosen in some |
schools from among the pupils. can be
abolished. Having got rid Of this mock
cry of self government, we are able at
once to substitute the principle Of par
ticipation by all the choldren in the or
ganization of the school and Of the
teaching given there.

ANTI-DIPPING FROLIc

A few weeks ago, the ant-dippers
enjoyed a sort Of Roman holiday IN
Walthall county, Mississippi, the ceIe-
bration taking the form Of dynamiting
2 dipping watts used in the lick eradi-
cation campaign. A few days ago il
was announced that the county super
visors had let the contract for the re-
placement Of the watts at 1884, anG
the court and other expenses will run
the cost Of the anti-dippers' frolc up
to $4,000.
Ihls money comes out Of the public
treasury and everybody helps bear the
expense Of this lawlessness, even the
men guilty Of the dynamiting, if they
really have cattle or property-which
is doubtful. An additional penalty in
flicted upon the live stock owners IS
the new lease Of life which has been
the tick, which has rapidly multiplied
during the suspension Of the woTk.
This probably means an extra years
dipping for them since the dipping
must be done.
No community can stand the cost
of this kind Of lawlessness and no
community should stand it.-New Or

FOR A SINGLE LANGUAGE

Some months ago the Soviet gov
eminent Of Russia submitted the whole
question Of international auxiliary Ian
guage to an official commission. Az
ter a thorough examination Of various
proposals, the commission approved
Esperanto as the best, and it has been
decided to use il in all the schools Of
the Russian Republic. Obligatory
courses Of study have already begun
in Moscow. Petrograd. Tver. Orel, and
Smolensk.
For some time past the Republic Of
Brazil has favored Esperanto in its tel
egraphic and cable service by placing
It on the same basis Of charges as Por-
tuguese. and is also introducing it in
its courses Of study in secondary
schools.
For the first time in history the SOL
diers Of Europe are forming internal
tional associations for education a.

EDUCATION in RUSSIA

In one respect, if in no other, Rus.
STA seems destined to take the lead Of
all nations in the matter of the educa-
ton and care of her children,-also
in the public education of her adult
population, who, as is generally
known, have for generations been de-
liberately kept in a state of Ignorance
by the Iron Heel of the Cars regime.
1t is the aim Of the Russian Soviet Gov
eminent to make their school system
the most important thing in Russia
the one thing to demand first atten-
ton.
This is a policy that might well be
adopted, or more rigidly adhered to,
by other nations. Even in our own
United States, the charge is often
made that our Government devotes
more attention to the proper breeding
and care of livestock and the preven-
ton of animal diseases than it does to
the training and scientific treatment of
our children.
Madame Lenin, wife Of the premier
of Russia, is the head of one of the
educational departments In that coun-
tr To give some idea Of the intellect
and ability of this remarkable woman
and educator. we will quote few pas
sages from her book:
Basic Principle Of the Work School
The Work School should have as
its basic principle the combination of
manual and intellectual work. Manual
work in the Work School must not be
specialized; on the contrary, it must
be as diversified as possible. The
child must model, design, paint, cut
out, paste on. do carpentering, and so
on. Manual work must be closely all
he'd with the reaching Of mathematics,
natural science, geography. and his
tory. 1t gives life to these branches
OF study, brings them nearer to the
child, and thus makes them more in
telllgIble. 1t aWakens in the child In
terest in these studies, and teaches it
to observe and to work out things for
itself. In this way manual work brings
but the creative impulses in the child
Envelopes the habit Of p perseverance
Until the end is attained, awakens IN
crest in technical work, and gives the
,hild the general idea Of what work is.
n such surroundings as the Work
School gives it, the child's bent and ma
ural aptitudes are readily brought
,ut."
The School Of the Future
The school of the future must do
possible to develop the SEN
imept Of solidarity between the chill
Iren- Every kind of restraint must be
igidly excluded The school of the
uture must be, so 10 speak, a free as
ociahon Of pupils whose aim It is. BY
heir common efforts. to clear the path
Which leads to the realm Of thought.

With sugar prices the highest

CAPITALIsM BREAKINc Down

America Expected to Forgive $l0,-
100000 Allied Loans is the heading
which the Minneapolis Tribune runs
over a news article on that subject by
its Washington correspondent.
Arrangements for the refunding of
these loans and advances to the al
lies, says the correspondent, 'have
practically been completed. The ar
arrangements call for funding not only
of the advances but Of the interest for
a period of three years. Consequent
ly, payments will not be due in this
time.
Experts in international finance,
however. and American bankers who
have recently gone into foreign bank
ing have reached a conviction that
payment will never be demanded They
are consequently basing all their cali
culations upon such basis.
F Several things come to mind on read
ing the above propaganda. One of
the principal reasons for kicking Rus
STA after she was knocked out BY the
war was that she refused to recognize
international obligations. The Allies
recognize them but are preparing to
beg off. The latter method may be
more polite, but the result on the ledg-
Ter is the same.
Also France and England are finan-

are not paying on their debts or using

held in Geneva. and it was decided
that, after October Ist of this year,
Esperanto shall be the official and OBJ

It was also decided to favor the use Of
Esperanto in international relations,
such as postal and Geographic service,
commerce, science, etc.
The Chamber Of Commerce Of the
State of New York, at its recent com
mercial examinations, gave the same
value to Esperanto as to other LAM
guages, and number Of candidates

The supreme court of the United

on, "as matter of fact the United

of them myself and now Secretary

had something to do with the run

it is a pretty good constitution"
Mr.. Roosevelt said that Haiti and
San Domingo, Panama, Cuba, and
Central American countries, who had
at least II votes in the Leagues as
sembly. regarded Uncle Sam guar
dian and big brother and that this
country would practically have their
votes in the League.
