struction and so do not have a fair
chance to show what they could do
in a proper college course of four
years. In other words, if the second
airy schools did their work properly,
as they surely are not doing now, the
colleges might do theirs properly also
and turn out really efficient
graduates.
Maine Of certainty is no worse
in this respect than other states,
perhaps better, But President Little
is right in his charge that there is
much lacking in education and it's
encouraging that he h S the courage
to point out the defects and offer
some remedies. If Mr.. Thomas is
satisfied with results Maine schools
are getting, it's lamentable, for he
will find mighty few who have 'oc-
casion to do anything with those
results who will agree with him.
Admitting results are not what
they should be and demanding some
thing be done to make them better
President Little is a far better edu-
cational leader for this state than
Superintendent Thomas quoting use
less statistics to prove that every
thing is all right. Mr.. Little has the
youth, the pep and the determination
to get, not better statistics that look
well on paper but results that look
better in the college class room and
business office. More power to him.

President Little Is Right
(Waterville SentineD

(WaLeTNlHe SeTtlHel)
In a recent interview President
Little of the University of Maine
made rather a severe criticism of the
secondary and public school systems
of the state, placing the chief blame
on> inefficient teachers. One Of the
moves for the improvement of the
university's work, which he hopes
the legislature will allow him to
make by providing the money, is
course for teachers that will improve
the standards and SO make college
work more valuable for the students.
State superintendent Thomas re-
scented this rather vigorously and
came back with mass of statistics
which he considered utterly dis
proved the charges made by Presi-,
dent Little, but excuses him for his
blunder on account of his youth and
short residence in the state.
We are with President Little and
it seems to us that Superintendent
Thomas has missed the point COM
pletely as pointed out by Mr. Little
in his letter to the Sentinel today.
His figures do not weaken President
Titles argument in the least, for
the Maine president was speaking of
the results of the Maine system and
not of the system itself. Mr.. Thomas
figures simply show the development
Of the system and nothing regarding
results. For instance, his claim that
of the SIS high school teachers 613
are college graduates and of the
grade teachers all have a high
school education or its equivalent
means nothing when it comes to re
suits. College degrees amount to
little as a basis for selecting efficient
teachers, for it isn't what the teacher
knows but his ability to impart what
he knows that counts. Names rela-
tive high standing in attendance, in
completion of high school courses
and such. set forth by Mr.. Thomas,
are also of little value. Despite all
these things President Little finds
grounds for criticising results and
Mr. Thomas cannot answer him on
that ground.
Educators generally admit that
back in the days of the little red
schoolhouse, equipped about as
poorly as IL COulQ DE ana StllI De
used at all, with teachers who were
often but one jump ahead of their
pupils in the text books, or just even
with them, there was a far better
grounding in the rudiments than
there is now. Pupils turned out
from these schools could spell and
figure pretty well and write a fair
sort of hand and compose fair sort
OF letter. In all these things the
graduates of the present day, far
better equipped plants and better
advantaged teachers can do none Of
these things well. Few of them, in
fact, do anything well. as business
men and college professors can
abundantly testify. They do no
better in college or after they leave !
college, so the colleges are getting |
their share Of the blame and passing |
it back to the secondary schools |
This looks like a reasonable PROPOSE |
ton for it must be admitted that |
colleges waste time on rudiments |
that should be given advanced in !

OUR NAVAL POLICY

Some of those who assume to say
what is necessary for perpetual
peace have said that Navy Day was
manifestation of the opaganda on
foot greatly to extend those branches
CT the service not restricted by the
Washington Conference. In this con-
rcction what the Secretary of the
Navy has to say in his annual report
respecting naval policy, is of especial
Interest,".
'In the past the administration and
development of the Navy has been
hampered by lack of definitely
enunciated policies which could be
followed by all concerned. With a
view to correcting this condition, and
in order to better coordinate the eff
forts of all persons in the Navy, and
of all persons under the authority of
the Navy Department in furthering
the development, organization. main
tenance, training, and operation Of
mine upon proper naval policy for
the United States.
1.-THE task of developing this policy
was assigned to the General Board Of
the Navy. The board submitted a
statement of policy which was ap-
Proved by the Secretary of. the Navy.
1t is believed that the policies laid
down are sound in principle, and will
be of great service in directing the
efforts of all persons connected with
our Naval Establishment along COM
mon lines. 1t is also hoped that they
will be of value to Congress in franz
ing legislation for the Navy, as they
il dictate the fully considered pro-
fessional opinion of distinguished
Naval officers of mature Judgment, as
well as the opinion of the Secretary
c! the Navy.
1.-The following was adopted as the
fundamental naval policy of the
United States:
1.-The Navy of the United States
should be maintained in sufficient
strength to support it's policies and
its commerce, and to guard its con-
tinental and overseas POSSESSIONS
1T is believed that this policy IS
sound and not subject to question. It
should be true for all times and un-
der all conditions.
Having in view the terms of the
treaty for the limitation of naval
armament, it became necessary to
adopt general policy as to strength
which would conform to the terms OF
that agreement. While it is true
that the ratios adopted by the con-
ference were made to apply to CAPT.
tai ships and plane carriers only, the
department considered that it was
tie intention of our conferees that
the ratio of 5-5-3 should apply to the
relative total strengths of the navies
concerned.
1T therefore adopted the following
general naval policy:
TO create. maintain, and operate
a Navy second to none and in con-
formity with the ratios for capital
ships established by the treaty for
limitation Of naval armaments.'
This policy should hold until such
time as other powers, by their de-
parture from the idea Of suspended
competition in naval armament, indi-
cate other procedure. Until such
time the Navy of the United States
may be governed in naval strength
by the spirit of sthe capital ships
ratios. Otherwise it will be neces-
sary. appropriately, to readjust our
naval policy"
1t appears from the report that the
Department has endeavored to CO.
operate in every way in the matter

Why should political organization
ret be entitled to4the protection of a
trade mark; in other words why
should groups OF people be permitted
TO make tricky use of the title, Re-
publican or Democrat? The Secre-
tary of State in Massachusetts thinks
this should not be permitted and
recommends in his report a law to
prevent it. Anyhow it should not
hc permitted. It is but form of the
tolshevistic scheme for ''boring
from within"

Late news on the situation in ire
land is somewhat reassuring. The
selection of Timothy NJ. Healey to be
governor general is an earnest of
better understanding on the part of
England. Though it is customary to
choose some titled parsonage for
such posts England turns to him
trough throughout his political
career he has been consistently op-
posed to British control Of Ireland
and was one of the high lights of the
Parnell movement. Having approved
the Free Ireland government England
wishes it God-speed. Healey will
have practically nothing to do with
tie governing of Ireland but is the
medium of graceful compliment to
tre best brains of that harassed land.

'cf economy. One result of this,
however, is "a deferred maintenance
which must be cleared up at future
date"
Tie development of aviation as an
integral part of the fleet, with types
CT aircraft suited to every need Of
the naval forces, has been the out
standing feature of the past year in
naval aeronautics. The rapid strides
that have been made in organization
and development work have fully
justified the establishment of the
Bureau of Aeronautics, and the work
Of this bureau is also reflected in the
general contribution that has been
made to the advancement of indus
tf,al and commercial aviation in this
country.
He refers to the converting of two
lattle cruisers under construction
into aircraft carriers as authorized
lhy Congress, to the progress that has
been in the production of helium
sas, all of which should cause no
CT iticism unless it be that advance
E.ent has not been made as rapidly as
some think it should, but which I'M
der the requirements Of economy
could not we'll be done. The Secre-
tary recognizes the financial condi-
tion Of the country and declares his
intention not to ask for an increase
t; in the navy, but I recommend that,
as soon as conditions warrant, Con-
gress be asked for such an increase
as will tend to balance our feet and
make and keep it the equal of any in
the world" We assume by this that
he means fn conformity with the
ratios for capital ships established
~ the treaty" as stated in the naval
policy. And with this we heartily
agree

made at many places along the line
of march while cheers were given.
After a stop in the principal squares

fire at Colby, he exposed and parties
responsible should be severely criti-

II is not difficult for those &C

other colleges, especially those of
some years ago, know of dormitories
unmatched, doors open at night, any
ore so choosing passing in and out
oay or night, beehives with occupants
having no fear OF danger and not for
an instant recognizing the need OF
automatic sprinklers and fire escapes.
Looking back one marvels at the
comparative immunity from disaster
which for years has been enjoyed.
We. the American people. are
