Belgium's Heroism
Founded in Her Schools

From Brussels, where she has been
studying the schools, and the educa-
tional ideals of the people, Miss Mar
garet T. Mcguire, Principal of a
Philadelphia school, writes to the
Public Ledger of her belief that the
supreme test of nations education
is manhood and womanhood and that
Begium met that test during the war.
Miss Mcguire says:
american teachers recognize that
a system of education is not on trial
for its immediate effect upon the
children while they are yet in school.
It's testing comes with the effect pro-
duced upon the minds and morals OF
these children grown into manhood
and womanhood. 1t has been inter-
esting and enlightening to study tn
far-reaching results of the training
of the schools as they expressed them
selves in the national reactions in
those grave days Of the war. When
nation lives up to splendid standard
Newark post., 1921-10-05

of national morality her schools have
had great and vital share in the
strength she has shown. Belgium has,
therefore, some fine constructive les
sons to teach those interested in the
deeper springs that feed the educa-
tional ideals"
Miss Mcguire talked with the Bel
gian Minister of Education, with the
Mayor Of Brussels, with the Manager
of the National City Bank of Brussels
and others connected with child well
fare and educational work. When the
banker was asked what he felt the
schools of Belgium were doing now
that seemed better than pre-war
teaching, he said:
"We are getting our children out
of the classrooms and showing them
the world about them. I do not mean
once in while, but l mean as regu-
lar part of the weekly program. The
children visit places of historic inter-
est and are given deeper inspiration
from the history of their country. The
growing tendency is to show our chill
dren how to observe and at the same
time to understand the deeper mean
ing of life"
The Mayor of Brussels was receiv-
ing members of the International
Child Welfare Conference, meeting in
that city. The Minister of Education,
also, had made a wise statesman's
contribution to the child welfare work
of Belgium, and because of the care
and training which Belgian children
receive, he smilingly indicated the
absurdity of the question as to
whether bolshevism might get hold
on the country. Miss Mcguire con-
tinues:
"At the close of day spent with
these thoughtful citizens of Brussels
trying to penetrate the cause for their
bravery and valor, I felt convinced
part of the strength to endure is to
be found in the character of their
education. They make appeal to the
emotional side of tn child's nature
and reach to his spirit through
beauty. In this American education
has vet much to learn"

Bargains in Russia

The Americans now in Russia write
interesting descriptions of conditions
in that famine stricken and disorgan-
lied country. They have been sur
prised that luxuries even in food are
still to be bought. For extremely high
prices rich and dainty food can be
bought at some of the restaurants.
The patron of such eating places is
struck by the incongruous relations
between the cost of the food and the
cost of the furniture and silver and
linen which go with the service. A
correspondent of the New York Times
writes that fine linen sheets and
tablecloths are unbelievably cheap.
Furniture is such drug on the
rant bought for less than 500 the
whole carved oak dining suite used at
the banquet given by Napoleon to his
victorious marshals in Moscow. Silver
saucepans are often cheaper than the
more useful iron ones. What Russia
needs most for everyday plain living
comes high in price or is not to be
hat at any price. Her treasures OF
normal times, things of beauty, and
objects not Immediately useful or con-
venient to smuggle out of the country
are turned over for what cash they
will bring.

PROPER TEST OF PROGRESS
Many Things Good Citizens Will Put
Above the Numerical Growth Of
Their Community.

Greater New York is peeved because
1t has been credited with some 400
600 fewer people than 1t believes lives
within its boundaries, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. 1t has enough
to lead London and nus be classed
as the largest metropolis of the world,
and IL pride in nothing but the num-
Der of people who manage to exist
within the official limits of the city
Is the ruling spirit, New York ought
to be satisfied with credit for hav-
Ing the largest number. But it is
not satisfied and Is making a count of
Its own. The census figures show an
actual decline in the borough of Man
haitian, which fact ought to envoke
expressions of satisfaction instead OF
the reverse. If some of the crowded
masses of lower Manhattan have been
able to find homes outside that dis
trict, thus reducing the congestion and
making living more comfortable for
those who are compelled to remain,
1t should be a matter of general con.
graduation.
Why is a census taken7 Is 1t so
uhat we may know exactly o many
people there are in the United States
and that municipal rivalries based en-
trely upon the number of human be-
ings who live within the official boun-
daries may be determined? That is
all a great many people see in 1t.
Newspaper comment on figures given
out Is purely numerical. Perhaps that
Is because we have only numerical
data as yet. Far more worth consid.
GRAFTON will be the facts as to the
conditions of life, the social and re-
gio status, the matter of employ
ment, housing, etc, etc. Any city gen.
uninely interested in its actual growth
n conditions will pay more attention
to such data than to the mere mat
ter of numbers.

HOLD SECURITIES AT HOME
Manifest Advantages Are to Be OBJ
tained by Wise Investment In
Local Industries.

One of the generating plants In Cal
ifornia decided to offer its stock to its
customers, instead of sending 1t to
New York for needed funds. Its sue
cess was immediate, says the Society
for Electrical Development. Employ
ees Of the company were the first to
buy. This expressed their confidence
In the safety of their company, based
on intimate knowledge of its workings.
The public eagerly followed. TODAY
upward of S4O,O0O,OOO worth of e n
trail station securities are owned by
$4,000 individuals, 90 per cent of whom
heretofore never owned a utility stock.
The growing popularity of customer
partnership in public utilities in lieu
OF the much-discussed municipal own
ership and its uncertainties may be the
herald of a day when the American
people, like their thrifty n~eighbors of
France, will be partners in all their
home utilities. Certainly there is val

Town PIannino-

The familiar rush Of the people from
the land to the cities, so pronounced
n feature of modern times, has encour.
aged congestion in most communities.
Recourse to town planning has been
forced by the necessities of efficient
transportation and sound land values,
as well as good health.
II Is fashionable today to deplore
the slums. Why provide new ones7
Why add congestion to existing n
gestlon. when, simply by looking
ahead and taking thought. healthy
growth may be assured7
Town planning provides the city
with eyes to see where 1t is spreading
and to conform to the demands OF bust
ness and comfort. A city ~unplanned
is a blind giant, sprawIing over the
ground. 1t wastes some OF its great.
est assets in a building debauch.
Every city that keeps order on It's
streets must also keep order in its
advance to greater size and Influence.

Morse Code Saves Man.

Philadelphia.-After he had been
locked for nearly six hours in an her
metically sealed concrete and steel
vault in the city treasurer's office, a
knowledge of the Morse telegraph code
probably saved the life of Arthur Bren-
ner, assistant city treasurer.
A mouse, also locked in, failed to
survive.
Bremen entered the vault, n room
fifteen feet square and twenty feet
high, five minutes before closing time,
hunting for n warrant. While he was
there the big steel doors swung shut.
He shouted for help without attract
ing notice.
The lights went out automatically
as the doors shut. Bremen was on a
balcony in the rear. He felt his way
down, pulled open every drawer and
piled the books on the floor to get the
maximum amount of air, and then
slept for a while, with his face as near
the bottom of the doc as possible.
