THE POWER OF THE SCHOOLS.

Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania. in
an address delivered 10 members Of the
Patriotic order Sons Of America. q day
ago made this statement which de-
serves serious reflection:
Regarding the power OF the public
schools. 7 tust wish to tSll you one
Thing Of all the thousands Of
persons apprehended for disloyalty
during the world war. not one
person arrested IN this country was
6 product of the American public
school system.
We presume that the Governors e
knowledge of the facts are correct. In
me various men ana women who were
liurrisoned for violation Of the espion-
arc and neutrality laws, we cannot re-
member one who came from our schools.
Th4s speaks well for our system Of
education.
AS Governor Sproui pointed out in
celebrating his theme, good public
schools are greater insurance against
osloyalty and improper agitation than
any force. The ideas, and the ideals,
which the child has presented to him as
q youth determine the character of his
manhood Formerly IL was the home
environment which had the greatest
weight in determining this character.
Today il is the school influence which
Nvields a power over the growing mind.
Tie American school system is the
basis OF American democracy. IL is the
only agency which offers an equal op-
portunity at the threshold Of life to
every youth The benefits Of this sys-
tom must be extended throughout the
I'D SO that every child may be reach

PRESS COMMENTS.
HARD TIMES ron HUGHES.

The general assumption that Mr..
Harding has promised Mr.. Hughes
practically IA free hand In the conduct
OF the foreign affairs OF the United
States might almost be taken for
granted by anybody who is acquainted
with MIR. Hughes. AT tho same t'ine
1t may mean little or nothing.
Mr. Harding ia good-natured envy
going person who is disposcd To FOLLOW
the line of Icast Resistance. He is not
particularly Interested In foreign af-
fairs, he has no definite foreign poicy
of his own and would naturally be IN
olined to let the secretary of state have
his own wny. Mr.. Hughes has strong.
vigorous militant personality. md In
any discussion with MI. Harding the
Hughes opinion would almost inevitably
prevail But thet is only Il small part
OF the picture.
Mr.. Harding can give Mr.. Hughes n
free hand but het cannot pledge tho
sonate TO give Mr.. Hughes free hnnd,
and tho Senate is the storm centre OF
any foreign policy. Already 8enntor

VANCOUVER MAN HAS
 NEW DIVING INVENTION

VANCOUVER, B. C., March 31 (by Associated Press) That he can dive five hundred feet into the ocean and still work comfortable and easily is the contention of Frank Walters, div CT and inventor of an aluminium div ing suit. In a recent test he reached a depth of 396 feet, said here to be a worlds record.
 The suit is built of 5-8 and 1-2 inch metal and weighs over 300 pounds. In making his recent descent MT. Walters added fifty pounds of lead to the soles of his shoes.
 Owing to the rigidity of the suit, pressure at the depth attained was but forty pounds to the square inch inside the suit while it reached ITO pounds on the outside.
 The suit has ball-bearing joints and artificial hands. It cost about $300O to build. MT Walters is a we'll known diver.

 Since the rioting last September there has been no renewal of dis. turbances on a large scale here, but predictions of outbreaks are often heard On several occasions Protestant employees have been stoned by small groups of the unem- ployed, whose bitterness and discon- tent due to many months of idleness and deprivation is said to be reach! ing an alarming state

 The association will be supported by the payment of dues of two gen eTal classes.

ENGLAND HAPPY WHEN
 WAR WIDOWS RE-MARRY

LONDON, March 31 (by Associated Press) ).-British war widows are re- marrying so rapidly that the chan cellor, Austen Chamberlain, expects to be able to reduce pensions ap- propriations in this years budget by G1O,OO0,OOO sterling. This, however, is only one of the factors contributed to the anticipated reduction but 1t Is stated that thousands of women made widows by the war have again be- come wives and thus automatically taken their names off the pension list. The pensions granted to wid- ows of soldiers who died in active service are withdrawn when the widows remarry.

1000 MORE FORD WORKERS.
Production to BE Increased to $500 Cars
Daily

DETROIT, Feb. 19.-Four thousand
more men are to be added next Monday to
the working force in the Highland Park
plant of the Ford Motor Co. it became
known yesterday This will increase the
force TO 1900 men. 1t is understood that
n steady increase in the number of orders
for new cars caused the addition.
With the 1900 at work. it is said.
production will be increased to an average
of 2,J00 automobiles a day.
All of the 1000 to be called i'm Monday
it is reported. are married men who have
not worked since the plant was shut down
on Dec. %. This number will be on the
payroll for the first time for almost two
months. 1t is stated that the plant is
keeping practically abreast Of the orders.
1t was unotficially reported that when
the first shift, which was laid off this
week To make way for the second shift.
comes back to work a week from next
Monday. most of the men in the second
shift will be retained, the prospects being
that there would be 'enOugh work then to
provide employment for practically the
normal force.
The largest number of ears produced ON
any one day since the plant reOpened is
100. This represents an increase of
$50 over the highest figure previously re
ported. and is said to represent the labor
of about 1000 additional workers
