the amiable theorist in education
denies, ignores or forgets. If Johnny
finds the multiplication table tax
ing and correct. spelling irritating
the sentimentalist passes over them
with smile, gives him pair OF
scissors and let's him cut out pink
paper dolls. Johnny's bent, you see,
may be in the direction of costume
designing. In one case out of thou
sand the sentimentalist may be right
and Johnny can be let alone with
profit to himself. But the overwhelm-
ing probability is that Johnny let
alone will acquire bad set Of mental
habits which will hold him back all
along the line.
Out of his own experience Mr..
HUGHES offered these observations:
MY mothers insistence on the
has been worth more to me than all
the deisl tful dallyings with intel
lectual pleasures have ever had.
Life Is not pastime and democracy
is not holiday excursion. 1t needs
men trained to think. whose mental
muscles are hard with toll. who
know how to analyze and discrimi-
nate. who stand on the firm founda-
tion of conviction which is made pos
sible only by training in the processes
of reason. The sentimentalists must
not be allowed to ruin us by dissipat-
ing the energy that should be har-
messed to our varied needs"
What Mr.. HUGHES says about edu-
cation and its Importance in re-
public is worth the attention OF every
educator in the country.

When LOUIS POWERS, FOR nineteen
years the Bertillon officer at Sing Sing,
entered the service of the State iden-
tifying criminals was at the open
ing of a new and highly interesting
chapter. NJ. BERTILLoN's system OF
measurements was on its way to gen.
eral adoption; finger prints were
vaguely recognized as a possible aid
to Justice, but were scarcely thought to
be of permanent value. In the old
days when comparatively long expos
ures were required to get satisfactory
photographs criminals were able to
spoil the plates by moving their
bodies and by distorting their faces
BYRNEs's famous book on criminals
shows several subjects being literally
choked into submission for photo
graphing. Instantaneous photography
has done away with that. Mr.. POWERS

Minstrel History.
Origin Of "Shoo Fly" and How O'Brien
Became Bryant.

To THE NEW York HERALD: Iques-
TONED the late Daniel Donegan, for
merly Of Bryant's Minstrels, in 1918
about the origin Of the song "shoo Fly"
and the first time 1t was sung. Mr..
Donegan said:
"It was written for Delahanty and
Hughes and we stole 1t. l sang it for a
week and then the boss. Dan Byrant,
sang 1t. We sang it in the basement Of
Tammany Hall. in Fourteenth street. in
1869 or 1870. 1t was a double song and
dance"
My father, who was well acquainted
with Dan Bryant and his brother Neil,
was invited on one occasion TO go. be-
hind the scenes when Dan introduced his
father, typical old Irishman. Said my
father:
II am very glad to make your ac-
quaintance. Mr.. Bryant" Sure. it's
OBrien." said he. THE boys changed It
to Bryant" WILLIAM NJ. SwEENY.

One Wise Rail Union Leader.

E. F. CRADLE, head of the railroad
workers in the very big maintenance
of way union, is not merely dis
Greet leader; he is a man OF vision.
His followers took strike vote. they
committed themselves, subject to the
approval of their leader, to going out
with the shop workers; they ex-
pected to be ordered out. But their
leader did not order them out. On
the contrary, when the striking shop
workers and other union bosses were
putting heavy pressure upon them
to go out CRADLE counseled them to
stick to their posts and, as a whole.
they are sticking to their posts.
E. F. CRADLE had the sense to see
that at time like this the 100000
workers on the. tracks, bridges and
other railroad structures could not
possibly win strike in anything
more than appearances at best. He
had the judgment to know that un-
der the present industrial conditions
there were no other jobs to which, II
their strike failed, his followers could
90 and be SO we'll off as right where
they were and where, if they were
willing to stay, they were wanted.
He had the discrimination to realize
that where they were wanted must
be the best place for them when after
long neglect of upkeep work on the
roadbeds in a retrenchment policy
forced upon the carriers by their lack
of money to pay for it the railroads
were just beginning to do such work
at a great burst of speed.
But, more than that, the leader Of
the maintenance Of way workers un-
derstood, as his statement shows, that
there Is always more to be gained for
a cause, II it is a good cause, by going
to the authority primarily concerned
and to the whole public secondarily
concerned with the merits Of that
cause than by going to war both with
that authority and with that public.
Clearly the leader of the mainte-
nance of way workers believes his
followers have a good cause. His
whole public statement radiates his
conviction that the cause Of his mer
is so just that all it needs to get vindi.
cation is to go again before the very
United States Railroad Labor. Board
which reduced their wages and obtair
a new readjustment.
And it Is certainty that If tht
board erred in the extent Of the wage
reduction 1t ordered for those meI
public opinion will call for and thu
board will make the correction
Herein lies the wisdom of e. F
CRADLE, his capacity to be sount
leader of men. his right to hold ;
position of great responsibility in tn,
affairs of the railroads and of tn
country. He plainly has before hi
eyes the truth that the overbearing
browbeating inciter of strikes in grea
labor disputes has seen his best day
If there must come strike of hi
followers it will not be because e. F
CRADLE recklessly and wildly pushe,
them in.

Municipal Leagues.

From Municipal Reference Library Notes.
great many of the States have appre-
ciated that an organization working for the
interest of all the municipalities In the
State was advantageous. Nineteen of the
States have such leagues, the one in New
York called the New York State Conference
of Mayors and Other City Officials being
one OF the most active and best known In
the country. Canada has seven municipal
leagues. Such conferences furnish splendid
opportunity for discussion Of common civic
problems. The following States have
leagues: Alabama. California. Idaho. I'LL

Details of an invention OF tremendous
a sounding device which Is
expected to revolutionize navigation and
make it possible for the first time to
map and chart the bottom Of the ocean
with ease, speed and accuracy. were
given out by the Navy Department to-
day.
Theodore Roosevelt. Acting Secretary
of the Navy. was as enthusiastic over
the new invention as were the naval
officers, who believe It is the biggest in
vention naval science has achieved In
many years. They believe the device
will make 1t possible to make map OF
the ocean bottom which will be as accu-
rate as maps Of the land surface.
Means saving I'm Time.
The sounding device gives immediate
measurements of depths of water, SO
that there is no need OF lead or wire
to unreel or reel in again. 1t Is used
with a sound transmitter and sound
receiver and depends In it's operation
on the reflected echo of signal given
off by the vessels sound transmitter
and received by the same vessefs re-
ceiver.
Naval experts explained that the device
is simple and that It's cost Is small.
With 1t a ship can take an indefinite
number of soundings In deep or shall
low waters without stopping the en-
gines or slowing down. All the time
required for taking a sounding Is for
the sound to reach the bottom OF the
sea and then travel back again to the
receiver.
Sound travels at the rate of four to
five thousand feet second, so that lit
tie time would be required to take
soundings in midocean. The device
would be particularly useful, 1t was
explained. when a ship approaches the
coast or shallow water where 1t Is
necessary to make frequent soundings
and often to halt until the exact posi-
ton is ascertained.
The device which Is referred to In
navy circles as a universal sounding
apparatus. was designed principally by
Harvey c.. Hayes. physicist OF the

States destroyer Stewart, which has
Just completed a cruise from Newport
to Gibralter. During the cruise ex-

were carried on and daily. radio reports
of its operation were made to the Navy
Department.
