MARKER AT VALLEY FORGE

It is said that the number of motor
tourists who visit Valley Forge is
surprisingly large. Assuming they
are familiar with the record of what
was done there this interest should
not be surprising.
AS the sch oil children should know.
it was in the severe winter of HTS
that Washington's depleted and all
but exhausted army wintercd there,
without sufficient clothes, denied all
luxuries and many of the necessities
OF life; at time when Congress was
! in turmoil and the future looked
blacker than at any period since the
Declaration of Independence Not
withstanding all this the troops were
undergoing rigid training under
Baron Steuben, although many of the
eleven thousand there died from ex-
posture and lack of proper food. They
were there made better fit for the
struggle to come. And it was to this
place, seemingly doomed by priva-
ton and defeat that the news came
to Washington of the French alliance.
Truly, one may vision at Valley
Forge tho place where the American
cause and its great commander ex-
perenced the darkest hour before the
dawn.
Maine men were there. Among
them was Lieut.. Nathaniel Berry of
Washington's life guard, later, in
1881, the first selectman of Pittston,
direct descendant of whom is
chairman of the committee selected
to erect a suitable memorial at VAL
ley Forge. 1t is eminently fitting
that Maine should recognize them
and this has appropriately been done
through the efforts of the Maine So
ciety of the Sons of the American
Revolution, an appropriation having
been obtained from the State Some
complain that our historical charac-
ters are too often treated as super
men. Those who endured at Valley
Forge may not have been super men.
We need not attempt to determine
that. Let the plain story be told
about what they endured and the
public may draw its own conclusions.
One of these surely will be that
recognition of such historical events
as this, should be perpetuated

ABOUT SCHOOL IDEALS

Two of the most fundamental
idcals-two Of the greatest achieve
ments of the human mind have been
born on American soil, a representa-
tive democracy and free public
-. school system. These two ideals go
hand in hand. The one cannot exist
without the other. AS yet neither
has attained complete and perfect
Development
In seeking n radio message OF
paramount" interest to the Maine
teachers assembled in convention at
Bangor the State superintendent was
felictous in his choice. The rela-
tons between representative
democracy and a free public school
system are indeed close. They are
interdependent. If We want the for
mer we must have the latter. II
representative democracy is worth
fighting for surely the free public
school is worth paying for.
Maine has seen this in clearer light
of late and is cheerfully paying more.
She should not forget-neither should
her teachers forrct-that there is a
feature of service which Should be
rendered that is priceless. Doctor
Thomas refers to it in the pleasing
incidcn; he relates of the teacher
that had grown gray in the work, in
whose soul was no guile and In
whose Golfers no stocks or bonds
We may be sure that in her heart
was love of her work and of her
pupils. Children are susceptible to
such influences. Unconsciously their
lives are being shaped in remar kable
degree by the character of those to
whom they look for instruction.
Ignorance, superstition and crime
are all related" as he says but book
education is not necessarily related
to a will to do the right. though the
right kind of a teacher might heir
to establish such relationship. THAI
IL the kind needed. not always to be
found. but which must. in the nature
OF things. look for reward outside
the salary paid.

American "SeIHshness"
(Public Ledger

" eDiIC IcuSciJ
The time has come for plain, blunt
speech from America to Europe in
this business of war debts, American
interests abroad and the job OF pull
ing Europe back on its feet. The
White House has done some blunt
talking this week, but more will be
needed.
Europe takes the attitude that
America is a selfish, gold-stuffed
"tightwad," whose eyes stand out
with fairness. We are painted as
standing afar off, insisting on our
pound Of flesh, and refusing to have
anything to do with a ruined Europe
The European generally has been
led to believe by come Of his states
men that we will do nothing. have
done nothing and are minded to do
nothing to lift the burden Of his
misery. AS result. America is be-
ing made the international scapegoat
Another Of the interminable series
Of conferences to salvage bankrupt
Europe is to be held. We have much
OF the worlds gold and a good part
Of the worlds credit. We will be
asked to attend.
If we so, it will be under condi-
tons laid down in advance by
President Harding. 1t distinctly will
be understood that the subject Of
allied war debts. their cancellation.
reduction or modification, will not be
raised. This will throw the can
ccllationists" into another paroxysm.
The familiar wall Of "sclfishness"
will be raised.
Europe needs reminding to keep to
the facts about this alleged Selfish
ness" True, we have rot made

from European nations. True, we

Just the same, American dollars are
moving by the billions to Europe, in
private loans supervised hy the

of these investments are beginning
to equal that OF the mcotcd war
debts. Other millions have been
gathered BY American charitable
groups and poured into NE job OF
feeding Europe. sheitering its people
and relieving their diatro-scs. No
nation has done rccrc nor half so
much rs America.
America insists that until Europe

The song that every maiden sings
A love fore"er true.
She wears a rose in her hair.
Her symbol of slavery's chain.
And on her lips a Turing song,
The SIRENS old refrain.
A flaming rose = a lifting song -
But her heart is numb with pain.
