SCHOOL SURVEY AT GoODINC

A tendency towards re-adjustment
in our secondary education is shown
in the setting up Of more definite
standards Of attainment.
This is one OF the most progressive
steps in present day education Are
we as teachers keeping our classes up
to the highest standards? The eff
cheney Of students sent out from school
is a good test Of the standards OF The
school
The only way to dnd out where we
stand is 10 keep in toucn with the
work Of the schools in our own state
and in other states.
School patrons and teachers must
be constantly tlert to these problems.
Are we handicapping the boys and
girls Of the community by permitting
them to do slovenly work. when it is
their right to have the benefit OF the
very best training?
The work Of the city superintend-
ents OF the South Central Idaho sec
ton at Gooding win be a most yalu-
able test OF our efficiency.
The first general school survey to
be made in Southern Idaho was com
pleted last week at Gooding. ThIz
survey was under the direction of Mr..
Madison of the Department Tests and
Measurements OF Lewiston State Nor
NAL He was assisted in this work By
Superintendents ]. ]. Rae, CALDWELL:
T. Fl. Buck, Haley; Fl. ID. Broadbent,
Burley; J. Henry Allen Of Buhl; ]. z.
Wesson, Shoshone; John Hnlman, Js-
rome.
The survey covered all departments
Of the Goodins school system includ-
ing educational supervision and ad-
ministration with particular reference
to finances, building, equipment, course
Of study, and teaching force.
The standard educational tests vera
used TO test the ability Of the students
as well ass to determine the strong and
wax points Of the teaching process-
The costs for the grades and high
school were gone into and the reason
for every xisting condition was de-
ter1nined.
The results Of this survey together
with all tables and all data will be
printed, and since GOoding is a typi.
cal Idaho school system, It will be
worth much for a comparative bass
We can check our system against Tire
Gooding system. as measured by the
survey, and thereby find our vea,.
points, without the cost of a survey.
The application OF standard tests arl
measurements is rapidly being recos-
nizsd as the only just way of judgtrg
school and its products.

OUR DIPLOMACY REDEEMED.

The American people may view with some degree
of satisfaction the high ability and quiet efficiency of
our diplomacy under the direction of Secretary Hughes
and the president. The prestige of the days of Web
ster, Seward, Evarts, Blaine, Hay and Root has been
restored. Our International policies are clearly stated,
maintained and enforced with vigor free from vas
citation and respectful in presentment. There is no
attempt to lead the world and direct the detail Of its
affairs, We are speaking for ourselves, and advising
and aiding others only when requested.
The German treaty is a case in point. Reviewing
its terms, we have been made secure in all the rights
and benefits of the Versailles treaty without involv-
ment in the league covenant and the entanglements
and disagreements certain to result from membership
therein.
This is in conformity to the will of our people and
is as 1t should be. The covenant was no proper part
Of the peace treaty. It was extraneous matter in
serted to hatter the vanity of an executive, who,
through impractical idealism or ambition sought to
force the league into the treaty in defiance of the
people, the whole power, and the senate the co-ordi-
nate power in treaty-making. The proper purpose of
a peace treaty is to settle the differences incident to
war. This could have been done and was done in that
portion of the Versailles document which did not re-
late to the league. 4
There is every reason why the United States should
be, and at the time of the negotiations of the treaty
should have been a party to all of the agreements re-
lating to peace between Germany and the allied and
associated nations. The senate was ready to ratify a
treaty dealing with those problems and SO notified the
president. The league covenant, the settlement Of
boundaries other than those between Germany and
other nations, the adjudication Of China's interest in
Shantung-were all matters not properly a part of
the treaty of peace with Germany.
In framing the treaty with our late enemy, the
president and secretary Of state have left out all ex-
traneous matters, confirming their whole attention upon
the one definite task of agreeing upon terms Of peace
and this all will agree has been done in admirable
manner. In the treaty the United States does not
evade any responsibility which, from either moral or
legal considerations, it ought to assume. It does not
undertake to set aside any of the provisions of the
Versailles treaty. II other nations desire to go into
a league, we do not oppose. If other nations wish to
settle European boundaries, we do not object. If
China shall be willing to accept the Shantung arrange
ment, there will be no protest from us. The whole

people of the nation to place Japan in her proper po-
sition quickly and end the war and all Pacific ques-
tons likely to arise for generations
The English writer agrees that Great Britain, be-
ceuse Of her alliance with Japan. would be an '.un-
sympathetic neutral" He does not admit il, but we
venture the information for his benefit that that atti-
tude would Just about mark the end of the British
empire, for her colonials would not assume the same
attitude and would more than likely join us. Neither
does the English ~strategist account for China and
Korea, with potential man power and certain griev-
ance against Japan, and established Friendship with
the United States
Such a war as Mr.. Bywater dreams. contains SC
many possibilities that he seems to have overlooked
and SO much with reference to America that he does
not know or appreciate as to make his book nothing
but well written romance.
War with Japan is very remote. There are two
governing problems she will not be able to solve-fi-
nance and material and supplies. She will not be
foolish enough in the face of Germany's experience to
seni her naval equipment against ours or to attempt
to match her fftyseven millions against our one hun
cred and ten millions of population.
Ard besides what has Japan to fight about?

Jul DEBT TO NATURE.

Sitting by the open fire" reflects the New York
Evening Post, zone ponders upon the days and months
and years Of sunshine and all the wondrous alchemy
of nature embodied in the logs that break into dane
ing flame, or glowing in the pictured embers as the
fire dies down OF grazing ashes. Or perhaps it is coal,
and ones thoughts run back to the ages when sauri-
ans splashed among the trunks and foliage and now
pour forth as it were canned sunlight for human
creatures Of today. In a country home one reads by
the oil lamp. maybe little rejecting that this fuel,
too, was made in time inconceivably remote; that he
is drawing on natures savings of stored-up carbon.
'Or one turns on the ready current of electricity,
and if he thinks about it at all takes it for granted as
a manufactured essence, little regarding the fact that
this, too, is only a different form of the same thing
natures stored-up sunshine turned to power and sent
to him over a wire. Likely as not the reader gives
no thought to what is added now-the labor of men
in mine and power house.
"And in the warmth of the fire and by the light Of
the lamp he reads. Stored fuel again. Service of
men again. Prophets and kings, poets and saints,
artists and philosophers and tellers of tales-decades
and centuries dead but still speaking to anyone who
will listen.
"Ore who reflects upon these things in the comfort
and radiance Of his freside, If he be Of humble and
grateful mind, will look up from his reading, glance
into the fire where Nature is pouring forth her hoard
for him, and offer his gratitude in the familiar: For
give US our debts.'"

A WAR DREAM.

Hector Bywater, q British naval expert, has writ
ten a book dealing with the theoretical situation of war
between the United States and Japan. 1t is written
from the British standpoint, and while it may ruffe
our pride in some of its chapters, still, from the pen
of one who is only specifically acquainted with the
ability of our people to accomplish the almost super
human, it is eIninently fair.
The writer believes that the war, if it comes, will
come suddenly, about 1922. That Japan, like Ger
many, will act quickly, and by taking possession of
our Pacific island possessions, in a short sharp war
we would make terms. The great distance would
place our naval forces at disadvantage, and in an a-
tual naval engagement Japan would get a drawn bat
tie. with our ships easy prey for Japanese submarines
Temporarily, the writer seems to believe japan
would in a measure be victorious, but concludes that
the United States because of resources both in mate
rial and finance would ultimately wipe Japan from
the earth.
1t is easy to see that the writer has to certain ex
tent based his judgment upon our hesitancy to entel
the divided sentiment of the people, the lack Of en-
thusiasm in making the traditional quarrels of Eu
rope our own, our traditional devotion to peace, tn
composite character of our population and sundr-
other matters and things governing our attitude to
ward the latest war in which we took part.
That we would be aroused to a man in any con
test with Japan is true beyond doubt, for the reaso
we have no basis for a quarrel ~justfying war, and
attacked wantonly and unjustly by Japan our peopl
would be united in a fash and cur revenge would b
