AT the Disruption of the Church

shepherds went over to the Free
Kirk. But a collie did not agree
with his master about this. He held

would not leave it.
Every Sunday he went alone TO
this church. His master refused
to coerce him. saying, Ma. he's a

The collie's conviction had a dis

Geographic knowledge.

Il
Never before has the desirability
for working knowledge Of geo.
graphy been so acutely evident.
Mr.. EdiSon's Disguised amaZenlent

uatcs Of the most ordinary geo
graphical facts is only one Of the
smaller incidents which have di-
rected notice both 10 the made
quacy of attention given To this
branch of knowledge in the schools
and the inefficient, indifferent meth
DDS OF teaching geography sener-
ally prevalent in the schools.
Events Of the last five years
have stimulated the desire for
knowledge of geography, just as
they should have emphasized the
need Of information regarding 9TH
er lands and peoples. In the po-
litical contests Of the last few years.
international questions have been
important issues. The League of
Nations was the dominating issue
of the last presidential campaign.

lean political. cultural and COM
mercial solidarity, the problem Of
collecting debts owed by foreign
countries, the setting up Of new
states with which this country has
established official relations, all
have been given deservedly wide
discussion.
Now we have the all-important
questions of an adequate mercantile
marine and settled policy Of for
eign trade, which must inevitably
remain important questions. And
at this moment an international
conference in Washington is seek
ing an agreement upon naval pol
icies for the great powers and upon
some very veXatious problems in
the Pacific area. Salutary popu-
lar knowledge Of these matters is
impossible without working feun-
dation of geography.
What was once considered a
school study that had to be gone
through! with as a mental exercise,
the utility of which was doubtful,
has been given the vitality and
lively interest that springs from
necessity. There is call not
alone for closer study Of maps, but
for other means Of illustration and
more comprehensive texts than
have been available in the secon-
dairy schools. There is scarcely
land on the face Of the earth
,, for which there is not to be called
forth an apt and informative topic
of current news interests.
That the general public is more
keenly interested in geography
than ever is proved to The Trib-
une by the cordial response to the
articles which this newspaper
prints regularly by arrangement
with the National Geographic So
ciety at Washington These time
ly articles. devoted to some city
or land which has been pushed
into the news columns in one way
or another, are meeting a reaI
want. incidentally the magazine
which this society publishes is one
of the most useful supplementary
works for the study of geography.
, School systems and students must
at once readjust, if they have not
already done SO, their attitude to-
ward geography. 1t is live sub
ject Of growing importance. 1g-
norance concerning it will prove
serious handicap in the future.

GERMANY TO RAISE
TAXES ON EXPORTS
May Double Assessments
Which Were Fixed When Mark
Was 800 to Dollar.
MANY MAKE BIG PROFIT
Claim New Imports VIII Tend
Further to Depreciatc
Currency.

BERLIN. Aug. ASSOCIATED Press) -
Because OF the catastrophe depreciation
of the mark the newspapers say that a
German Government representative has
called the. attention OF the economic
counsel TO the necessity Of doubling the
present export assessment. BY the plan
German exporter would have to sur
render TO the German Government Zoe
per cent more than the percentage ne
is obliged to hand over at present.
The Government, it is said. considers
IL should adopt this course TO conform
TO the developments of the exchange
market. In levyipg the increased assess
ments the Government will differentiatc
in favor of industries operating under
costly production.
Official quarters assert that the pres
ent schedule OF assessments was estab-
lisned at time when the mark aver
aged 800 to the dollar, and the claim is
made that many exporters who make
their invoices in foreign exchange have
benefited greatly by the marks fall.
Under the altered exchange conditions
such profits should divert to the ma
tional exchequer, in the Government
opinion. Notwithstanding vigorous pro-
tests BY the export interests, which re-
Gently asked the Minister of Economics
for reduction in assessments.
The new assessments will come into
operation next week. as the Government
still is engaged in establishing graded
scale whereby industries operating un-
der more favorable conditions will be
faced with a maximum increase of 100
per cent.
Exporters assert the measure auto
matically will produce increased demand
for foreign currencies. thereby further
accelerating the decline Of the mark.
This factor and the statement of the
Reichsbank indicating an increase in
currency of 5000, 100000 marks for the
last week of July combined to give the
mark fresh jolt to-day. although the
Bourse was not in session. Mark quo-
