Watching the Parade

May a kind Heaven preserve me
from living in dirty house. Even in

there should be rope stretched from

chair off its own personal parallel
Mrs. Thompson shuddered internally.
That hurt her. just like the saxophone
does some other people. Tommy was
not allowed to walk up and down.
He was too apt to kick the rugs out
of place. He could not cross one knee
over the other and twitter the depend
ent foot. He was compelled TO read
by a lamp that was exquisite to the
last pang. but gave about the same
illumination one can extort from a
feeble-minded FREELY.

That is. he didn't until she house

of fine, fertile wheat lands which also
will produce rye, barley and various
other cold-weather crops with a mini
mum of insect pests. There are other
lands that will produce excellent pota-
toes and root crops.
In time, these lands can be settled
with hardy young Americans ii this
generation still produces youths with
the pioneering spirit of their ancestors.
But special conditions must be met. They
can not move into this region with

must have warm housing, adequate
clothing. for winters are long and hard
and they must be able to house their
farm animals as is done in the Dakotas
and other northern states where the
cold is intense ar times.

TO DEVELOP ALASKA

Announcement that President Harding
plans to visit Alaska next tune and that
his trip will be the beginning of cam
paign for reelection, has served to dis
tract attention from a far more impor-
tant and vastly greater feature. 1t is
the possibilities OF Alaska and develop
ment OF the great territory's wonderful
resources.
At this time, Alaska is going through
the ttroes of what every other territory
this country ever held has had to pass
through. 1t is wound around with so
many yards OF red tape and mis-ruled
by so many different bureaus in Wash
ington that its magnificent resources
are almost totally useless.
Not many people in this country are
aware that Alaska is not land of snow
and ice wholly. 1t is, on the contrary,
possessed OF immense valleys and
mighty rivers, millions of acres Of fine
agricultural lands, greater forests than
any still left in the states, unlimited
fishing waters. herds OF reindeer that
could materially add to the nations meat
supply and many other resources too
numerous to mention here. OF gold and
silver and other precious metals, copper,
iron and lead. the possibilities also arc
still great. Settlement. exploration and
transportation will lead to important
mineral discoveries no doubt. But it
is chiefly with the agricultural future
OF Alaska. with the timber and fisheries
and water power that this government
must deal as start towards the real
development OF Alaska.
At this time, some hundreds OF pre-
datory interests arc seeking entrance
to the wonderful forests which are with.
held from exploitation in forest reserves
Fishing interests too. would gobble ur
the fishing industry which is very profit
able or would be, under proper devel
opment.
1t is sincerely TO be hoped that in out
lining some method for opening Alask;
to development this government will pre-
vent dominance by those interests tina
seek only to profit and not to build up
turned over to the lumber trust 10
instance, the beautiful forests would b.
denuded of large trees in short orde
and reforestation left to the government
or some other agency.
| Yet the problem is two-fold in tina
it never has been the governments pol
icy TO provide funds for such develop
ment and if private capital is admitted
then naturally the most available none
is in the hands of large interests tina
would seek to profit thereby to an ii
ordinate degree.

Record Price for Bull.

Cuero, Tex, March 20.-What is
thought to be record price for an
eight-month-old Jersey bull, has just
been paid by the Ed h. Dietze dairy
farm here, to the Mcdonald Jersey
farm at Cleburne. The bull is the son
of Bright's Morning sultana 395493,
who entered in an official merit test
finished on May 8, 1922, and yielded
15.433 pounds of milk, produced 900
pounds of butter fat with an average
Of 5.S1 per cent and carried calf
20S days during the the one-year test.
The price paid for the bull. which is
to head the Dietze Jersey herd here,
was $1,000.

FUTILE RECOMMENDATION

They're at it again. Bishop Manning
and the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant just
can't keep the peace and dignity Of the
state OF New York. To the average lay
man, who is not greatly interested in
abstract ecclesiastical questions and who
has no patience with denominational dog
mas, the bishop and the rector may be
reminiscent Of the sort OF school boys
who used to take turns in bloodying
each others nose. Those boys were
determined TO fight, and would do so
during every recess-as long as there
were any spectators. When the other
students wearied OF watching the monot-

DEMENTED EDUCATION

A colonel in the United States army
declared recently, in a public speech.
that education" in the Philippine
Islands had gone crazy Ten or
twelve years ago such an assertion would
have created great stir; an investisa-
ton would have been ordered, and the
complaining colonel called upon Tor an
official explanation.
But not now. World events have been
moving too fast, and have been too i'm
portant, comparatively, to let anything
like little remark about the Philippines
cause the slightest ripple of excitement
Americans have become accustomed to
scandals. Besides, so many allegations
have turned out to be false Propa-
ganda that is what many people say
nowadays when they read anything that
sounds "fishy'' to them.
But shouldn't somebody take even
an academic interest in the statement
concerning education in the Philippines?
Well, let's; there are less interesting
subjects.
The colonel had just completed an
S0Oo-mile trip of inspection when he
made the speech alluded to- In the ter
ritory covered he found many schools.
Sometimes it looked as though schools
were just what the Philippine Islands
had nothing else but. In one province
alone, this army officer said, there are
forty-eight schools, and every one Of
them might be rated Al, so far as regu-
lation equipment and academic courses
are concerned.
In fact, he could find no defect in the
schools themselves. The entire archi-
pelago has a fine school system, so far
as the teaching OF the three rs and SINH
lar subjects is concerned.
But how about the public health !?
That was the subject in which The COL
onel was particularly interested. In the
province which Boosted forty-eight fine
schools there was not even one hospital
dispensary, and only 8 per cent of the
provincial revenue was spent on santa
ton or health work. In all. iorty-eight
provinces were visited. and in thirty-two
Of them nothing whatever was being
done to promote or safeguard the public
health, while in onl twenty were there
any hospitals.
No wonder the colonel declared that
education had gone crazy in the Philip
pines. No wonder. too, that medical ati-
thorities estimate that two-thirds Of the
deaths there are due to preventable
causes-causes preventable through the
agency OF hospitals and the adoption and
practice OF public-hcalth measures.
Education that does not teach the first
law of Nature-self-presc-vation- is SIM
ply misnamed; it is just the opposite o.
education.

IGNORANT INTELLECTUALS

That was good joke those Sophie
Newcomb College students played upon
their instructors. and about as practical
as Joke can be. Or at least one may
we'll hope that the effect will be practical
in the broadcst sense. a great handicap
to that hope is the possibility that the
members of the Sophie Newcomb faculty
who exchanged positions with students
whom they had busted have. many
counterparts in colleges throughout the
country. Ii that is true. then the broad
est practical effect of their failure to pass
the examination conducted by their stud
ents cannot be expected.
For it is evident. from the dispatch
reporting the outcome OF the test that
these college teachers had not been read
ing the newspapers. regularly at least.
They did not know what was going on
i'll the world about them. They were
living in world OF books. though not
necessarily OF theories. Therefore they
were ignorant in all important sense
One might know everything there is
TO be learned about physics. but ii it be-
came necessary for him TO split wood.
and he didn't know how to do it, he
would rot be educated in the best sense.
Being able to quote Shakespeare or
Heine will not take the place OF even
one cooking lesson or OF an hours cx-
perience in making button holes.
Culture" is what the modern girl
seems to seek, or to think she is seeking.
when she goes away to college. But
just what is Culture nowadays? If
somebody would define the term COM
patibly with present-day social require
1nents, he or she could qualify as ma
gician. For the culture OF the present
is radically different from that of two
or three decades ago.
But though the requirements OF educa-
ton, too, change from time to time, the
truly educated person i'll any time is the
one who is equipped, as result of
orderly mental training and develop
rnent to make the best oil the conditions
OF the age in which he lives. Too
many so-called teachers think that educa-
ton is merely knowledge of certain sub
jects which have been in school curricu-
lac since the year one, and that any
strictly modern study, particularly if it
has any commercial association, is "vul-
gar"
The teachers" OF Sophie Newcomb
College got exactly what was Coming"
to them when they underwent the exami-
nation prepared and conducted by stud
cnts who had failed to pass the regular
tests. The dispatch from New Orleans
docs not give samples OF the questions
which the teachers asked the students.
but it is easy to believe that inability
to answer them would be mark OF no
greater ignorance, under common-scnse
definition OF education, than inability to
answer the questions which the students
subsequently asked their teachers
1t is to be hoped; most profoundly,
that college and university instructors
throughout the country will take note
and that those who don't read the daily
papers have some kind friends who do.
Ditto for Thomas A. Edison.
