We have learned, along with the rest,

At last a direction for future effort.
It is not possible to believe that all
the lessons Of all the yesterdays will
have gone IN vain. The increase of
education, of the studious habit, of
social consciousness, can not but bring
US nearer to agreement about some
few fundamentals.
[ believe, for instance, that every
family which has lost member in the
struggle to- save mankind from abso-
lUtism; every citizen-soldier who has
given years and sufferings to that
cause; every gold-star mother or

is preferable to war, and that to train

and its triumphs in that convincing
sincerity which an unselfsh nation
commands and yet make sure about
our proper defense.
Manifestly, mankind is disposed to
try that experiment. If, trying it,
nations shall fail, it will be no fault

are ready to offer helping hand in

as much of your imperial opportuni-

transaction, and all the time jointly

Sherman, who sat near him, observed
that Gen. Sherman was considered
an able man in our parts, though some
people think he is kind Of careless

tanned the spirit of the South, the
courage of Atlanta, the eternal vision
of the brighter side that is so natural
to you people of the land of sunshine.
One who comes to your metropolis of

to attempt, with fire and sword, to
discourage such people as this, to
extinguish their enthusiasm, to daunt
their matchless courage. What
chance is there to keep down a peo-

rear in its place a palace of marble;

you drive them in thousands from
their home, return in tens of thou

scheduled for October was averted
last night when leaders of the switch

clared not effective"

was unusually close, however, the
firemen particularly holding lengthy
arguments before agreeing to cancel
lation of the strike order, the labor
chieftains said. In some of the groups
the ballot was described as "the clos
est in history on similar question" /"
Al lof the differences were ironed out
by the different unions, however, and

Several thousand foreigners have
oeen turned away from the evening
schools because of lack of funds, ac-
cordlng to statement. issued yester-
day by Frances Perkins, secretary of
the Council on Immigrant Education.
The statement points out that Ameri-
canlzatlon work in the schools is ser-
ously threatened because of the cuts
in the Board of Education budget
for 1922 made by the Board of Esti
mate.
Referring to the drastic reduction in
the estimates for 1922, the statement
says; ut is important that the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment should
look these facts FRANKLY in the face
The policy is shorts GIFTED and un-
economical, for such large registration
with such small amount Of money
means inevitably that there will be
thousands turned away from the eve
ming elementary schools. Several thou
sands already have been turned away
because of lack of funds.
at seems that the tendency will be
to make the classes very large to meet
this demand. 1t is known that a num-
Der or classes have as many as sixty in
attendance, and some schools have an
average attendance of over forty to a
class. Teaching under these circum-
stances can never be successful. There
is very large element of waste, there
fore, in money expended for educa-
tional purposes under such crowded
conditions"

From his perch in q treetop over

find and empty the other. He had
