Value of E Education.

ID 9TH child and community are losers by a
ID policy which allows children under sixteen
to be gsinfully employed. The Children's Bureau
of the Department of Labor recently has completed
study Of child labor conditions and results in
the city and immediate suburbs of Boston which
furnished conclusive evidence, if any were needed
that the place for growing boys and girls is the
,schoohouse and not the workshop.
Some District parents who even now are debat-
ing whether they should send their offspring to
high school next month can garner valuable infor-
nation from the report OF this survey.
Is the boy who is graduated from Central High
School in any better position. economically, than
the boy who quits his school career after the
grammar grades? II sometimes appears on the
surface that he is not. Despite the four years he
spends in high school he can obtain only a nomi-
nal wage after graduation. But he has long life
before him in which competition will be great and
progress difficult
The Boston survey showed that advancement
in school work exercised favorable influence
even the childrens first earnings and the
advantage of those who had completed normal or
higher than normal grades for their ages was still
more definite in regard to wage increases, steadi-
ness of employment, and earnings over an ex-
tended period of time. Information concerning
subsequent working histories was secured for a
number of these children about three years later,
and .he advantage of those who had completed
higher grades in school appeared at this time to
have grown more pronounced. and suggests, the
report says, shat the small amount of edu-
cation which the eighth-grade graduate could
boast over the sixth-grade graduate was real

proposes to lodge complaint with the State Depart
ment. This is serious charge indeed. 1t is
difficult, at first glance, to believe that officers Of
sister republic would stoop to such action.
But the admirars complaint is not the first of
like nature. The fact seems to be that French

care to have American newspapers printing un-

their occupation or to have the American public
informed Of all the movements that are underway
in that country.
We do not presume that the French rule
around the Saarbrucken area is especially harsh
or cruel The people permitted to live and
work. They not shot down in the street like
dogs for neglecting to salute French oficer-that
is not a general rule. But do not believe
that the French rule is any kindly or liberal

that the general public in America does not under

unduy shocked if the unretouched photographs

Nevertheless, Americans will be inclined to
resent the censorship. We wish to know exactly

JAPANESE COUNT
LAUDS GOLDFISH

TOKYO. Sept 2-Count Yanagis-
awara. one of the leaders in the
movement TO revive some of the
arts of culture of old Japan. has
just sent to press a volume dealing
with the breeding OF goldfish. which
he describes as an occupation for
gentlemen.
The author has been studying the
ways of goldfish for more than a
half a century and credits himself
with being the man who saved the
science of breeding these finny pets
from dying out among the Japanese.
Just now the count is mourning
the loss by death of his favorite
fish, a veteran which had occupied
one Of his glass tanks for the last
nineteen years and was one OF the
oldest known of all the goldfish in
Japan. He has another veteran IL
years old. which is, he says, a COM
mon age to be attained.
His many years of research into
the literature dealing with goldfish
In China and Japan has failed to
show from whence the original
goldfish came. There are no refer
ences to the gay little water crea-
turs before the coming of the first
Dutch traders, however. so Count
Yanagisswara is OF the opinion that
the fish were picked up somewhere
en- route by the Dutchmen and
brought to Japan. They did not
come from Holland. as there are
none in that country now and II is
unlikely that all traces of them
would have disappeared.
China and Japan are the only gold
fish breeding countries. the count
points out, and China is very far
behind the standards reached In
Japan.
