of the dissatisfaction which is being widely voiced over existing systems of education. Sharp criticism is being directed at every branch of instrue- tion from every point of the compass.
 A recent example of this attitude appears in an informal talk or the plant wizard, Luther Burbank. Re spending to greetings of his neigh bors on the occasion of his seventy third birthday, he made the startling statement that boys and girls in small towns should not be sent to school until they are ten years old. Children who are compelled to live in the city
 he argued, should be placed in school earlier as safeguard against the artificialities of a hothouse life Even those who would not go so far as MT. Burbank goes in these utterances would agree with him in the view that too much has often been made of books in formal education and too little. of the out-of-doors. The most impressive feature of the criticism of present-day education is that con- siderable part of it comes from edu- cators themselves. Professor William C.

that every man should marry Thus Tar Senator Hale has kept silent, choosing to ignore the pamphlets and posters that besphtter the Pine Tree State from border to border. Senator Hale unquestionably has many illustrious bachelor statesmen to point to in the years agone, but 1t is significant that Colonel Smith Brookhart who has won the republi- can senatorial nomination in Iowa against heavy odds. made much of the fact in his campaign that he was married man with six up- standing children, !
 Hale Likely to Win
 The best belief in Washington Is that Senator Hale will be relnomi- hated. Maine is admittedly cone servative state and has traditions of generally standing by her senators once they have been placed in office. This was true of the elder Hale and since his day Hale has been a name to oonjure the Maine voters with.
 If Maine by any chance should turn against the sitting member, the near-panic in "Old Guardp circles would be very real one.
 There is also confidence in Wash ington that Senator Frank Kellogg, another member of the Harding golf cabinet" will be e-nominated at the Minnesota primaries. A much harder fight apparently awaits him in the election next November, where he may be opposed by Mrs. Peter Oleson as the democratic candidate. Mrs. Oleson's campaign has. been watched with unusual interest here for she is the first woman to offer the real prospect of feminine in- vasion of the most august Senate.
 Many Difficulties
 In North Dakota Senator McCum- Der is beset with many difficulties. First and foremost he has not been able to go home for any length Of time to attend to his fences and his opponents in the party have been extremely active in his absence. When he became chairman of the finance committee, MT. McCumber undertook one of the most onerous tasks in all the Senate This was especially. true when a tariff fight was pending and the moot question of cash bonus for the soldiers was being urged as a patriotic duty and d political necessity. The late Sem ator Penrose was able to take care of his work as chairman of the finance committee because he had a wonderful political machine at home to look after his interests and he was always within easy striking distance Of home/ Many times Senator Pen rose used to streak out of Wash- ington and up the Baltimore pike bound for Philadelphia in his big red touring car making the speed of a fire wagon responding to a third alarm He was always ready to quench any flames of incipient in- surrection.
 But Mir. McCumber has found that Washington Is long way from North Dakota. He has had to choose. consequently. between continuing duty in the Senate and political ext igency at home. His choice was duty first. 1t remains to be seen what the political consequences of this policy on his part vtn DC.
 Although 1t has had five day in which to null 1t over. Washington has not yet recovered from the rndi- cal victory In the Iowa senatorial race. Another such shock would not be relished in some of our most con- servativc and exclusive circles. So at the moment everyone is sitting tight in the boat. and hoping for tho best.

later Senator Porter. ]. McCumber, successor of the powerful Penrose as chairman of the finance committes, framer of the new tariff bill and the new soldier bonus bill, will be put on the grill. With these political irons in the fire, the end of June should be fraught with an illuminat- ing significance.
 Primary in Maine
 Maine and Minnesota are to hold primaries in the week beginning June 19, while in North Dakota the primary is set for the 18th. President Harding has. a particular, interest in all three contests. In Maine Senator "Fredie" Hale, inti- mate. golf companion of the Presi- dent. Is fn the midst of most un- usual fight. He is being attacked by one of his most. formidable ops ponents on the ground that lie Is a bachelor, contention being that it takes a married man with family re- responsibilities to understand the many problems arising here in Washing ton. The attack has been rather g difficult one to meet, especially now that women are voting and every woman, as is well known believes
