Gulf Coast Sulphur Deposits.

At some remote time there must have been tremendous volcanic activ- ity in the region which is today the gulf coast of Louisiana and Texas; {; for in those parts are found deposits of sulphur vastly exceeding in quan- tity any known elsewhere in the world. They are covered over by hundreds of feet of later sedimentary material, and to get at the sulphur deep wells have to be sunk. Superheated water is forced down the pipes to melt the sul- phur, which is fetched to the surface by the power of compressed air. On cooling it is ready for shipment. being 90 per cent pure.

Pegged Wrong.

~ THE 5000 students in the liberal arts col
lege of Michigan University. 10 per cent are
probation" as behind grade in class work. or
this 5000 "only" per cent, the University Bulletin
says "are so handicapped by inferior mental ability
that they could not escape being placed on proba-
tion If they were reasonably Industrious and were
able to arrange their daily life work favorbly to
college work"
In other words, these IS inferior in
mental ability" they cannot make the grade. They
cannot do the required class work in their courses
and earn promotion. Yet these students were able
to enter college. They were able to prepare, and
it is not indicated that they all freshmen.
Unless somewhere there has been decided fault,
they are not in fact of inferior mental ability but
only of less mental ability grasp and absorb the
subjects Of their courses.
They may be slow, or probably may
have been the victims of mistaken choices in
courses of study 1t would speak vastly better for
Michigan, if instead of using psychological tests
for ratings of various degrees. it had special vo-
cational guidance division, to advise with these
Young people and steer them into ways for which
they had natural fitness AS the old woman said,
"The world is full OF folk and two of them
alike" No two are quite equally fitted for the
same things, and very often the boy who would
make an artist tries to be a lawyer, and the one
who would be a fine mechanic is doomed by his
family to the church
No boy should go to college to be tagged with
mental nferiority, but if his high school has been
lax in letting him get this wrong start it is surely
the obligation OF a college to discover the fact and
place him in the right direction Nor a college
boast of its organization when 10 per cent Of its
family is on probation All the fault is not with
the students.

EDITORIALS AND COMMENT

men arc no different from any other. No army in
the world less military in that sense, more demo-
cratic, in viewpoint, more nearly the civilian in
judgment of domestic and international affairs and
none more fully realize common responsibilities al
citizens than our own.
There Is just as much spread OF opinion in
army and navy in civilian ranks. This silence
merely denies to the civil population the matured,
trained experience Of those who know most Of a
very vital subject As well refuse bankers the right
to publicly discuss finance, lawyers to talk OF
legislation, or economists to discuss economics.
The country Is now big enough. old enough. set
tied enough in its composite Judgment to properly
value the opinions Of its army and navy officers.
The opposite Of this American policy is the
vogue in Great Britain. There the officers in both
services freely discuss policies related to their SER
vices, and civilian as WE'LL The British get much
valuable advice and there is frequent conflict of
opinion. Nearly every issue Of British magazines
and reviews devoted to general discussion, publish
articles by army and navy specialists
{ In the current British Review OF Reviews is
such an article by Lieut.. Com Kenworthy of the
navy, on "The Naval Policy Britain Needs Today"
Imagine an American lieutenant commander pub
fishing like article as to this eountrys right naval
policy. He would probably be court-martialed.
Yet certainly he would know more OF what he was
talking about than most of those who elaborate
their opinions in public.
.. 1t is Of interest, this side, to note some OF
his conclusions. Some genius" he says, perhaps
with large holdings in the stock OF armament max
ing companies produced the brilliant idea of setting
up subcommittee of the league of nations to dis
cuss the question of international disarmament-a
subcommittee named exclusively by admiras and
generals! A subcommittee of cobblers to discuss
the discontinuance of the of leather"
Again he says: There two roads to follow.
;e "a ra1y md n
the future adjustment of relations between the peo-
rles of the world The other is to rely as hereto
FORE on force and trickery. The former is the
path of sanity. The latter the road to madness
and suicide. = = Navies built to fight They
do not prevent wars, never have prevented wars
and never will prevent All history proves it.
If we can be sure of future war, We need not
spend a penny in the royal navy except for few
police gunboats an dthe royal yachts. 1t is no
use mincing words We have to decide who are
our possible enemies and prepare beforehand And
the preparations take long"

The Policy Of Silence.

~ NE of the strangest contradictions in the
u j growth of the American system Of govern
ent is,the paddock that closes the mouths of every
member of our army and navy below their two
supreme commanders Even these two dare not
talk on military or naval policies cautiously
or as testimony before an authorized body. 1t is
the most completely enforced silence known in this
taikative world. ."
II is probably the outgrowth of fear of "the
man on horseback" Of militarism, called 1t
was believed that the army man and the naval man,
II allowed to talk, would the privilege to pro-
mote war, Or for military and naval increases which
would result in war. Yet the fact 10 that these

TT was bob" Ingersoll, the fine old heather,
who once said: IAN honest God is the noblest
work Of man." We were reminded of this when
reading in the American Church Monthly an ar
tieie by former chaplain of Marines. Bernard /.
Bell Mr.. Bell somewhat of free lance himself,
believes that II this is to be saved the fate of
its Predecessors it "must find its contact with an
optimistic. confident friendly Cod" s.. A..
"The> preaching he says" of Deity who
thrills with mad Joy for punishment merely makes
the age more pgheaded, the more determined
to go its own way regardless of consequences The
presentation of God who is but an apotheosis of
Mrs. Grundy and Poor Richard frets those who
rightly feel that taky-talk morality sounds tinky
in a world near Madness" He would have a God
suited to the occasion who "still believes in US;
who is patient with our wilfulness who does not
damn us too readily, but is more ready to under
standngly make allowance and still trusts that His
handiwork may learn humility. simplicity, self.
effacement and uttermost sacrifice" -
In this conclusion Mr.. Bell is expecting a lot
from his fellow men, but he will not be disappoint-
ed IN his God. II was never more evident that
God works in mysterious ways His wonders to
perform" But there is no occasion for pessimism.
Results from primary world movements, up
heavals,- do not come to standards, or exact
urements over night. But they come. The history
of the world has been of constant advance
ment. The sequences of world cycles have never
been backward. Neither has the generation in
volved in any one Of them lived ta estimate the
complete sequence H.. & ..
Every man has religion Deny It and obscure
it as he will he has religion and it is necessarily
the best part in him; ii is the good in him; 1t is
his standard which individually, none ever reach.
Frequently indeed the they think they reach
it. the less their fellows feel their religious inAu-
ence It is just as true that the human concept of
the One God, person spirit changes from age
to age. Whether He is regarded distinct and
separate entity, whether as the immeasurably
Divine of which each of us has, is, part, still
the human concept ofsHim changes.
That change is the average of the aggregate of
the individual concept. Mr.. Bell recognizes this,
or practically expresses it, and in this he is but
franker than many others. Indeed. this period of
transition is especially marked by this indvidualism
in religion and in concept Of the Deity. 1t is a
natural consequence, sequence from like tran
sition in political, then economic, then social
lations, II is very human and not un-Christian.
