sives.
1t is declared to be the first time
that Liberty motors have been gear

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 20. 1921.
Andrews for Appeals Judge.

1t is a fortunate thing for the Re
publican leaders Of New York that
they have declined to reject Judge
ANDREWS as a nominee of the State
convention for the Court of Appeals
because of the opinion he wrote
against the unconstitutional bonus
measure passed by the Legislature.
A Judge that would override the
fundamental law of his State for the
sake of pleasing a clamorous body OF
voters would not be fit to sit on q
bench. A convention that would
measure his qualifications to be a
good Judge on the basis Of whether
he had failed to be submissive to the
demands of some particular interest
would not be fit to nominate any
body for judicial Office.
Judge ANDREWS or any other hon
est Judge, whatever his own personal
inclinations and desires, could per-
form his judicial duty, preserve his
oath of Office and maintain his honor
only by passing upon the legality OF
a legislative measure in accordance
with the facts and the obligations of
the basic law which he is sworn to
uphold.
If, because of the opinion Judge
ANDREWS wrote for the Court of Ap-
peals, the Republican leaders had de-
cided that the State convention could
not consider his nomination they
would have declared, in effect, against
statute law and fundamental law and
for mob rule. And when any Re-
publican leaders had so decided they
would have found themselves with
out party of responsible and self
respecting voters.
II Judge ANDREWS, on the other
hand, gets the nomination be-
cause of his qualifications to be a
sound and upright Judge, whatever
may be said by noisy minority that
would have the States laws trampled
under foot by the Judges themselves,
the Republican State convention
will earn the support of all New
York's right thinking citizens. and
right thinking citizens are by far the
majority Of the States voters.

Educating Children.
Shorter Hours and Smaller Classes
Two Changes Proposed.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The re-
cent interviews appearing in your Sum
day magazine section with Dean West
OF Princeton and Dean Jones of Yale
give food for thought. 1t Is to be
hoped they will blaze the way for cor
rection in our educational system. be-
cause at present and in the light of
other days our children are not being
educated at all
To begin at the bottom. the schools
are overcrowded. More buildings are
needed and fewer pupils should be put
in classes. The classes should be better
graded. For instance, those who have
had the great benefit of home training
or who are naturally quick, should not
be kept back, harassed, so to speak. by
having to wait for the light of learning
to penetrate the brains of others less
fortunate. This works both ways. The
latter are forced ahead faster than they
can assimilate and never even get a
good grounding.
Then my great theory is the hours
should be shortened.
No teacher and no student is capable
Of good work for six hours at stretch.
know this by experience and in the
study of languages. Up to a certain
point It is positive pleasure and you
imbibe readily; but after that when
you try to force little more. and with
all the interest possible and the de-
sire to get ahead, you injure yourself
and your subject.
More than a saturated solution Is
waste.
My cure for this is the following:
Let half the day be devoted to the
three Rs, and the rest, after a good
play hour, to arts and crafts.
At first good teachers from the outside
would have to be provided. but after
ward graduates could fill all vacancies.
You would thus have rested minds in
teachers and students, rendering them
more alert at everything put before
them, besides eliminating the wasted
years, often very expensive to some
families and not to be thought OF by
others. as well as the need Of having to
pay for the apprenticeship Of children
at something by which to earn their
daily bread. That would all have been
taught during the school days.
Reading. writing. arithmetic and
spelling should be ground right into
children. and that stands for early
training of the mind the ologies can
come later when the ground is we'll pre-
pared. The earth and the mind are
similar in a way. The better and In
finer tilth you make the earth the finer
are the results in what follows.
Equally so with the mind.
AS children we had wonderful home
training, with the result that when we
entered school at 13 and IA we were
found capable OF entering the second
class and there was but one other af-
ter that. when we were graduated at 10
and 16 respectively.

War on the Boil Weevil.
The Moth and the Flame Point a
WAY to Keep the Pest Down.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The
moth that lays the egg out OF which
comes the boil weevil is the enemy that
should be attacked. Moths fly usually
at twilight and then deposit their eggs
If moths can be destroyed or even re-
duced in number a larger yield OF cot
ton, as well as corn and other products
of the soil, VIII be realized.
The worm found on ears of corn Is
said to be a cousin to the boil weevil.
The moths come out of chrysalises III
the spring. They are sometimes at
tached to branches OF trees. There Is
no mystery about their nature and hab-
its. The grub in the ground becomes q
moth and tho moth deposits eggs where
the young weevil will get food. XIII
the moth and the work Of the weevl
is prevented.
Some years ago I suggested the burn
ing of open flame lamps at dusk in the
fields to attract the moth SO it will dash
into the flame, burn its wings. fall to
the ground and die or be devoured by
toads. Every one is familiar with moths
flying at bright lights Their eyes are

bright light at night, although they
hide from the sun.
The problem is big one and perhaps
expensive, but as the pests multiply very
fast they must be fought increasingly.
Alter the weevil has developed 1t is
too late to save the cotton boil in which
it Is born. All of the moths cannot be
destroyed, but a large percentage OF
them might be by using strong flames
in the fields at the time when the moth
is about due to do It's work.
1t plans its work better than man
does his and does It better than he does
his. His only hope against its raw
ages Is to use as much brains as 1t
uses. II. r. DocgE.
