Proposed Calendar Change.

COMMENT on the proposal to give the year thir.
y teen months of equal length, instead of twelve
with days unreasonably different in number comes
first and loudest from those who view the change
from what may be called the literary or historic
standpoint. By all such people, and with more
than excuse, the plan is opposed as sure to make
no end of trouble-trouhle which seems to them a
price too great to pay for advantages, to them, OF
less than compensating value.
But there are people for whom the balance dips
the other way. Get somebody familiar with the
more intimate details of molPrn business. done
under conditions of sharp rivalry for small profits
"a public chartered accountant, for instnnce--uIud
so'ue wctehty arguments for a regularized calendar
are immediately presented.
One is told by such an authority that the ar.im.
'portant i4gUr-ng OF costs is seriously Complicated.
and ITS Results married by both uncertainties and in,
Iaccuracles, because of the incommensurability Of
weeks and months. Labor almost by necessity.
is PAID by the week, while material usually must
come under a monthly computation. The task of
the business stands at any moment very appreci.
ably would be facilitated and no end of expensive
ton by the accountant would be avoided, by tho
reform which the New York Chamber of Commerce
presumably for this very reason, soon will try to
persuade the world to accept.
Weighty as are these considerations, It ia mora
than doubtful that they will prevail yet, vastly inn.
rortant to us all as it is, and the present division
or the year, though full of absurdities to logicians
and the ninth, tenth, eley.
enth and twelfth months the seventh, eighth, ninth
and tenth is only one of the absurdities-has been
SO firmly fixed in SO many domains of knowledge
and action that attempts to change that division
are almost sure to fail.

Constant Transportation.

1T WOULD BE an astounding thought to picture
L wha5 might happen should transportation be
cut off from any of our large cities. Such a con.
sideration Is useful in realizing better the extent
in which a large city depends on transportation of
even the necessaries of life into it. We may imagine
to some degree what would happen if these were
cut off. Within n short while the people would
feel the pinch of hunger and a little later they
would be famine-stricken, so difficult would it be
to obtain a supply of even the bare necessities of
life to keep them alive.
1t might be profitable in solving some of our
social problems if the people could get closer to
the source of production. There are few things
produced within any large city compared to the
things brought into it. If the residents could get
a more familiar view of places where their food,
clothing or other necessities are first brought into
being, they might better appreciate the interdepend
ence of all sections. This is getting to be a mighty
big country. Take New York City, for instance.
1t is estimated that within n reasonable number
OF years it will have a population of twenty-four
million people. Think of this immense population
producing but little and then figure the problem of
getting commodities to them if anything happened
to transportation. In such a center supplies at
best could not be held for more than a very few
days. In this view the Importance of keeping trans.
portation in operation constantly is more fully
realized.

Necessity of ReforestdtiOn.

TUE EAST no less than the west needs serious
L consideration In the matter OF reforestation
There is no reason why all sections of the country
where timber will grow should not come in for
equal consideration The value of timber growth is
the matter of first Importance, for the present tim.
Der areas are confined now to the Pacific north
west and the south. The defamation of our forests
has been the price we have paid to the onward
march of a civilization In a tremendous hurry.
New England, once a densely wooded area, pre-
sents a different aspect today, and SO with the
middle states and on west to the forest reserves in
'the Rocky Mountain region and the Pacific coast.
Even in these latter districts measures are urgent.
Ny required for providing for future growth of
timber IL we would have what we need In the years
to come. Three centuries ago forest lands in New
England occupied more than 90 per cent of its
area. But how the scene has changedl
At first sight this depletion may not seem so ap.
palling, but when one stops to think of the defor.
~estation of approximately fourfifths Of the land
within three centuries, during which time the needs
of the country were not SO great in tho direction
Of timber wood, he is impressed with tho future
needs for forest lands, with their extent decreaslHg
so much moro rapidly every decade.
What is most needed In the United States is not
only one but a great number of Just such apostles
of conservation as Clifford Pinchot. Men who have
the good Of their country at heart rather than
their own personal popularity. Men who made
them and loved TO have enemies.

Opportunity Sill Exists.

NOV AND THEN as you become familiar with
= the history of the rise of the really big men of
the country, you still find an unusual number OF
them started at the very bottom rung of the ladder,
and that opportunity held out to boys in America
cannot be equalled anywhere else on earth, Take
any of the great industries and you find that boys
everywhere have risen by industry and intelligence
helped a little by kindly fortune perhaps-long
before old age came upon them to positions Of
great responsibilities and big salaries.
A job on the killing floor OF a slaughter house
was the good-enough start for him who is to head
the greatest OF meat packing combinations, and in
a celebrated department store is an e~x-office boy
who has reached the top of the ladder.
Such cases never have been rare, of course, but
they have at present something of new Significance
because of the frequent complaint that the old-time
opportunities to get up in tine world no longer exist.
In all probability they are as numerous as ever, or
more numerous, and the qualities. that won reward
in the past continue to do So. 1t should not be
however, that of successes in life there
are many kinds, and business" does not offer all
of them by. any means.
Indeed, to not a few people, "business" offers
none at all-never did and never will.

Future of Education.

president Burton of the University of Mich.
L gan, writing OH the future of education, has
likened the present system to u cafeteria service In
which the students come in and help themselves to
whatever they think they want. The future edu-
Gator, he believes, will classify students according
to their special qualifications and educate each
man for what he is best adapted to.
Many educators have been thinking along that
line and the psychologists are about ready to de
clare that they can undertake the work Of classi
fication. If the ideal should ever be reached a
boy would be tagged in early youth for the exact
field of labor that offered him his greatest meas
ure of usefulness and pleasure, and when he came
out of school he would be fully prepared for a
career already mapped out.
Originally the universities offered one course for
Everybody and prescribed that course. The rigidity
Of this plan was unintelligent and having recoR
nized its failure the colleges adopted the elective
system A practically unlimited choice was sub.
stituted for no choice at all and it has proved far
from ideal. The step which President Burton de
scribes would go a long way back toward the old
system of strict limits, but wuld adapt them to the
capacity of each individual. Some day the world
may know whether that idea solves the problem or
ouly leads up another blind alley.

The Beauty of Old Age.

Though wrinkles have begun to
seek her brow.
And age with touch relentless swiftly
Tho rosy bloom tina graced her

A lovely veil her beauty was. hat hid
A golden Jewel meath its silken fold;
Men praised the beauty of the vel
but did
Not know aught of the ornament

Now. piece by piece. the veil has

The Jewel shines with a serener ray
Than did her beauty In the bygons

name on checks an1 letters. 81 Used
to sign my first name in full when

You have no kick coming with
that handy little name of yours" said
a visitor from St. Louis. Down in
our town we nave some names that
arc names. We have a family out
there by the name of Ahrenhoerster-
baeumer. Twenty letters in that
aame. and a few of the letters seem
% have been dropped in merely to
III space. One OF the family was
elected to a county office where no
had to sign his name frequently. so
he dropped two syliables and became
Ahrenhoerster. He did not put them
back when he retired to private life.
Perhaps his children will continue the
-eform int drop n few more syllables.

Criticising Employers.

Growth of Churches.

AMONG the groups of statistics relating to pro
a gress during the past year none is more import
ant por more significant than those which cover
the growth of church membership and the increase
of church resources.
In 1922 the churches Of the United States record.
ed a. total increase in membership of almost one
million, which is larger by 245 5000 than the increase
for any recent year. The smaller denominations
haye gained a little, and in some cases they reveal
q noticeable loss. The Roman Catholics, the Epis.
topalians, the Methodists, the Baptists, the Presby.
terians, the Congregationalists and the Lutherans
have all made distinct advances, the Episcopal.
ians and the Baptists showing the largest yearly
growth in their history. Church membership in the
United States now tops 100000 which does not
take account of those who go to church but are
not listed as Members
Tt is not surprising that the United States with
Its great population and its wealth should lead the
world in gifts for Christian work abroad. In 1922
Great Britain, which Is our nearest rival In this
worthy field, gave 100000 Through the Amer.
lean churches the United States last year gave $40.
100000. Much money, about seo,0oO,00o, was spent
In the building of new churches and the improve.
ment of existing cdifices, while 1000, o0o, 900 was
Esised for European relief, education and charit.
