Our great educational problem Ia
not what shall we teach the few rich
and capable children who may have
opportunities thrust upon them, but
what are We going TO do to hold the
"a out of a hundred in school in
stead of six? How are we going TO
get the full benefit OF our free school
system for 299 instead OF /? What
is the matter? Is the trouble with
the children. the parents, the teach
ers, or the school? There is some
thing wrong somewhere. because we
repeat II is just as natural for a child
to learn as 1t is to grow. A child's
mind is a most wonderful creation.
1t is so tiny and empty at birth that
it is not perceptible at all, but day by
day IL grows so long as We live. And
ii is so constructed that unless We
keep filling it with the best things In
life the worst will fow in to ill the
yacuums, because nature abhors a
vacuum. and let alone. nature will
fill our child's mind with something.
The minds Of Our children are en-
trusted to US as their parents to be
flled with the good and useful things
OF life. Are we doing it? II your
child was born without mind you
would give everything in this world
you had to give it mind. But God
gives them their minds when He calls
them into being. 1t is a part OF His
plan OF life, and without tbs great
plan there could be no joy on earth %
How much do we appreciate our chill
drens minds? Not enough to feed
them. Not enough to keep them
growing noturally. We will actually

spend more money on cigarettes to
tear down their minds than we do on
education to develop them. About the
only public expense we ever kick on
is the taxes to develop our children

seldom ever hear a man complain
about his taxes to build more asy-

Labor and the Latin-American factions
characterized the first session of the
Pan-American Labor Congress mere
to-day. Although the Latins are pre-
dominant in the organization, the
leadership OF Samuel Gompers was
evident throughout the day, and the
friendship Of Luis Morones, the Mexi.
can leader, indicated that the Ameri.
can Federation would continue to die

continent.
The Dominican delegate made an st
tack on the United States because of
the military occupation of his coun-
try.
"They have taken from US the right
Of assembly and freedom of Speech
he declared. Their establishment of
military censorship and a system of
provost justice are violations Of all in
ternational justice. We realize that
the American Federation of Labor has
done everything possible to obtain the
evacuation of Domingo, and labor there

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Warning
that passage of the Fordncy emergency

measures and would breed unfriendli-
ness to American trade among foreign
nations, was given to-day by witnesses
before the Senate Finance Committee.
AS & result of the testimony, it was
expected tonight that members Of the
United States Tariff Commission would
be asked for information on the ques-
ton. Chairman Penrose said that mem
hers of the commission would be on

further information on how serious the
danger of retaliation might be.
The committee will conclude its
hearings tomorrow, Mr.. Penrose an
nounced, and it is planned, on Friday,
to take up the bill in executive ses-
sion.

What ChestertOn Told
4 Ship Ne,Us Reporter
Calls Prohibition a Backward
Step in Direction of Slavery,
but Expects to See Reaction

With no aspersions upon the Eigh-
teenth Amendment or the Volstead act
in mind, Gilbert K. Chesterson gave a
short dissertation against prohibition
yesterday as he came up the bay on
the Cunarder Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria or visit to this country which
will last three months.
The prohibition movement, ne said,
was step backwards and was set in
the direction of old-time slavery. The
recent dry legislation in America, ne
said, could be eliminated from the
question, and still the movement Of the
times was backward toward slavery
He cited the tendency in France, Eng
land and nothern Germany toward the
restrictions of human liberties.
ut is difficult to say when the turn
will come" said Mr. Chestcrson, "but
action against prohibition. This will
come about when it is seen that there
is an apparent trend of capital to with
hold things from the laboring classes.
Ii carried to Withhold things from the
laboring classes If carried to ex-
trcme it will allow those who have to
say what those who haven't shall have.
Slavery does not mean that per-
sons shall be held in chains, but it is
the taking away of the right Of the
nerson to determine what he may have.
In America it would seem to be q
violation Of personal rights as set forth
by the Constitution. I am not speak
ng of the abuse of liquor rights, but
of the general trend these days to
make machine of man on thu
ground of increasing efficiency"
Mr.. Chesterton, who was accom-
panied by his wife, will lecture in tn.
principal cities of the United States.
He said his ideas of the United States
are not so rigidly set that they may
not be changed by observation and gem
eral contact with the American peorle.
