AN EDUCATIONAL LUNCH COUNTER.

Andrew Fleming West, dean of the graduate school
Princeton university, whose experience in teacbinq
covers forty years, openly criticises American schools
with a candor that is alarming school authorities and
doing no end of good in efecting reforms, where prin-
cipals and teachers were previously unaware that their
schools were inefficient.
Professor West recently said to a group of educa-
Tors these PLAIN but wholesome and undeniable truths:
The importance of extended training in the funda-
mental studies is what is required. Our present sys-
tenn of education neglects this and there is the root
of the difficulty.
Il do not believe the people know fully how bad a
product our schools arc producing. They know some
thing of it; complaints of the product are too fire.
quent to permit of total ignorance, but il the facts
were known a change in system would be demanded.
The nineteenth century was the boastful century.

was the age when We were counselled. not TO knock if
we couldn't praise.
Now, in the twentieth century we have begun to
knock High time, too. What are the facts? Are
we n literate people?
"As for the general illiteracy of the United States,
the revelations regarding the four million men en-
listed for service in the world war show that nearly
one-fourth of them were illiterate, in the primitive,
simple sense of the word.
at is fair to presume this represents a cross Sec
ton of the who's population and that approximately
one-fourth of the people of the United States are Tilt

"Tf we add to them another fourth, that lying near
est to the ~iliterate belt, persons of slight and INSULT
cient education, we shall have one-haf of the whole
population of the land either illiterate or very insult
fciently educated.
"No matter where the blame for this belongs, the
peril to free institutions is so great that our duty to
remedy promptly the situation by a thoroughgoing
primary education is imperative. It can't be safely
neglected much longer.
lit is in this half of the population the agitator Of
discomfort finds his opportunity. Here is the breed
ing ground of the ignorant discomfort which is the
natural enemy Of our institutions.
"In this region of illiteracy we find the dislike or
even contempt for the chief studies which afford a
any other studies lying outside the range of petty in
terests.
This element has the same feelings of dislike to-
ward ancient history, mathematics, philosophy and all
the sciences except in so far as these serve their own
material ends. Their indifference to knowledge is a
large part of the cause of the failure of their own
lives.
"f once this class should learn that knowledge is
power for good their lot would be brighter. 1t is the
business of the schools to see that they get this help.
It is the business of our country to see that the
schools are euipped with specially fine teachers, so
that this help shall be surely provided"

FORCED TO BE FAIR.

The American shipping board has won a significant
victory over the British commercial interests who
sought to establish a boycott against American mer-
chant marine in the carrying trade. 1t came in the
Egyptian cotton case in which American ships bid 23
cents against the British shipping price of SO cents on
movement of the Egyptian cotton crop to the United
States. The Egyptian producers commission was glad
to avail itself of the lower American rates but was
held up by the vote of one member who stood out for
the payment of the higher British rate. And since
the decision of the Egyptian commission must be
unanimous under their local rules American ships
were denied the business. The case was carried to
a London conference and the ridiculous position of
the British mercantile combination exposed. The re-
suit was the ALLEGATION of SO per cent of the shipments
from Alexandria to this country, to American ships.
Upon indirect shipments to the United States, by
way of Great Britain the conference stood firm
against a f~fty-ifty division.
There is yet the Galveston case Of boycott to be
threshed out before Great Britain comes clean in its
attitude toward American rights to participate in
overseas business.
We. still have the means of retaliation which have
not yet been employed, but which we will employ, if
forced to it by the selfish action of British CONNER
cial interests.

Our Exchanges
skunIss Lend Powerful Argument.

Cody HeraId)
c. 4. C. Snow OF Clark. WINS in Cody
Tuesday. on business connected with
with the sale OF the bonds for the new
IS. 700 school which the people of that
district voted themselves in the last
election.
Mr.. Snow states hat the need for a
new schoolhouse became MORE i'm
perative after a family OF skunks
took up their residence under the
floor OF the old n last winter and
when annoyed by the noise above
them expressed their e-xasperations in
such fashion that school was dismiss
cd upon several occasions.
Also there was a rattelsnake that
came up betimes and looked things
over. while a nest of pack-rats at
tended the sessions with TAR more reg
ularity than some of the pupils.
Tho skunks, however, were the
most powerful argument In favor of
u new schoolhouse and the bonds we're
carried by n good majority. They
have been taken by Kuntz and COM
pahy Of New York City. and the
school board will shortly advertise for
bids on a substantial building a short
distance from Clark.

OUR OWN COME FIRST.

Before We start into a campaign in aid Of Russian
unfortunates, would it not be well to look about our
own premises and see that our own dependents are
as comfortable as we can make them.
Shall we rush off to aid the destitute in Russia
when we have destitute at hand to whom we owe
everything. What about our brave ex-soldiers, who
have no jobs and are driven into the bread lines of
the cities? We are certain there were sacred prom
ises to them, when the government begged the peo-
pie to buy bonds and leave the rest to it.
The able-bodied and more fortunate can await the
day when the country can reward them; but what
about the sick, MANNED and helpless and the others
who have no work? Should we not do something
about them, to place them upon their fee. and on the
way to seif-support before we undertake to look after
the unfortunates of otter countries?
There is not the slightest opposition to relief of the
starving in Russia or humanitarian aid wherever
needed anywhere in the world, but our obligations to
our own come first. Then we are ready to divide the
last slab of bacon with whoever IS hungry.

TECHNICALLY NOT GUILTY.

The Chicago baseball players have been acquitted
by the jury. Legally they are pure, but in the public
mind they are guilty. Any group of respectable ball
players who consort with a lot of gamblers and
crooked ball players convict themselves by their own
testimony. Regardless of ~acquittal the players who
were on trial should not be trusted again. At least
not until they have shown something more of repent
ance, than blubbering about the wife and kiddies.
when they were caught in their disreputable practices.
