Nations Power Is It's Energy Resources Rather
Than Man Strength
By DIR. THOMAS READ, Federal Bureau Of Mines.

The real basis Of power of a nation is its energyresources rather than
its ~man-power strength. The modern way to use the energy of a man is
to employ it in a way similar to the little detonator of the big explosive
shell; the little charge sets off the big one and does an amount of work far
in excess of its own capacity.
The energy output of an average workman is about a tenth of a horse.
power. The energy expended by a coal miner in an ~eght-hour day thus
amounts to about that available from two pounds of Goa. A Japanese
miner who gets out 1900 pounds of coal a day thus muliplies his energy
by 700. 1t is somewhat like planting one grain of wheat and having 700
grow from it. The American miner gets out $500 pounds of coal in q
day, and so muliplies his energy of 4,4OO. There are Al, 100000 wage
earners in the United States, and their energy output is a little over 4,00O-
900 horsepower, or only nine times the potential energy output in the form
Of coal of 100 miners. The power minerals, coal, petroleum and water
power, are therefore the real sources of strength in an industrial civiiza.
ton.
No other country has as much as one-ffteth part of the total energy
resources as the United States, and it is quite evident that many parts Of
the globe never can support an industrial civilization of any magnitude
for they simply have not the resources of energy.

Clubwomen of Colorado Are Striving to
Promote a Righteous Civilization
By MRS. L. A. MILLER, President Colorado State Federation.

Colorado adds to the problems of many sister states distance and
isolation. Nearly one-balf of the state is still unpopuated. Coorados
10000 club women are joining hands across magnificent distances and
incompatible living conditions in service.
Out on the eastern plains they are planting trees; in the south
ern coal camps they are teaching cooking and sewing; all over the state
they are establishing libraries and child welfare centers, supporting
the movement for consolidated rural schools and statewide ob@rv-
ance of citizenship day." assisting in the campaign against tubercu-
lods and for the Near East relief; supporting Colorado products and
encouraging Colorado fine arts. They have helped more than three hun
dred girls to complete their educations.
The women Of Colorado ire striving to promote a righteous cviliza-
ton in all the details of life, with its b~y-product Of peace; to cultivate
sane citizenship by informing themselves upon the issues Of the day,
knowing if they would lift others they must stand upon higher ground;
if they would lead they must walk ahead. They acknowledge their respon-
siblity for spiritual leadership as well as material progress; they believe
that the highest mission of the womanhood of the world today isl to combat
the growing materialsm and unrest with faith and spiritual awareness.

The Perverted Ideal of Success-That of
Getting Something for Nothing
BY R. C. MOORE, Illinois State Teachers ASS,

The perverted ideal of success, that Of attempting to get something
for nothing, is at the bottom of the social ills of the day. We zee a world
gone money mad, a universe tramphng under foot the law of social JUS
te that every man must get what he earns and earn what he gets, and
setting up in its stead the old human gods Of selfshness, greed, dishonesty
and the ~unleashing of predatory instincts.
Against these anti-social influences must be placed the bulwark of
the public school, backed by all the power of the school teachers, with
their still untarnished ideals of clean citizenship.
If we mutey acquiesce in the continuance and perpctuaton Of these
causes We are permitting a breakdown in our moral standards. We are
sitting idly by while } new standard of morality is being adopted, a stand
sd roralyzing to all our past ideals of civilization. We shall soon find
that the common practice of graft and getting something for nothing will
break down the morale of even the teaching body and that an increasing
number of teachers viii lose their faith in the high ideals OF honesty
aud Justice.

forever, and that the ancient comradeship should be renewed and re-
pledged forever. Do not think we on the other side are not aware of and
sympathetic with you in those constitutional difficulties with which you
are confronted. We know the Illumination of Jefferson against alliances,
we know the power Of the written constitution, not only over your minds,
but most deseryedly over your hearts. 1t will be the highest task of your
craftsmanship to evolve out of the citizenship of America something which,
honorng and conserving it, will yet give it a lofty place in the citizenship
of the world.
Watch that moving, josting, elbowing, combatant crowd which we
call civilization. There is a figure there bigger, more outstanding, more
commanding than the others. More and more he seems to control the
crowd, suppresNng, confusing regulating traffic, making the rough places
plain and every place safe; and his hand is swift and heavy on crime and
on the sneak and tender and helpful to the weak and the struggling and
the oppressed. His name is Law.
At this hour, after the great war, even as the smoke and smell of blood
clears away, law resumes its sway, planting anew the standards Of legality
human and divine.

To Remove Expressions and Teach a New

Humanity lies bleeding and stricken. The hand Of
war and the hand of the doctrinaire who knows not
justice lie like a curse. We think of the union of the

service that lies to its hand-to staunch wounds, to
redress wrongs, to remove expressions, and teach a new
and better way for body and soul.
