devotion to him or his political inter-
ests, and now that the Offices have
been filled and Mr.. Coolidge looks to
them for equally loyal support for his
policies in Congress, he finds them
side-stepping.
President Coolidge has gone the
limit in committing himself to the
Mellon tax plan, even going to the eX-
tent of indicating that he will veto
any bill which does not make the re-
duction in the surtaXes which is so
prominent a feature of Mr.. MELONS
scheme. Representative Longworth,
the Republican leader, and others who
are prominent in the inner councils of
the party in Congress, have warned
the President that it will be impos-
sible to put through the Mellon plan
in its entirety and that the only al
tentative left to a complete loss of
the measure will be acceptance of
some form of compromise. The east
ern press, so largely dominated by
"big business" is a unit, irrespective
of party affiliations, for the reduction
of the surtaxes to not exceed % per
cent and this Mr.. Coolidge CONSTITUTES
to be reflective of the attitude of the
entire people. Furthermore, certain
of his closest advisers remind him that
if his campaign managers are to re-
ceive necessary financial aid it would
be well to stand by the Mellon plan.
Members of Congress whose judg-
ment is generally to be relied upon
insist that refusal of the President
to accept any compromise on the Mel
lon plan will result in deadlock and
the failure of all legislation.
The extraordinary and sensational
disclosures in the investigation of the
disposal Of the Federal oil reserves
by former Secretary of the interior
Fall are naturally the occasion of the
gravest anxiety. The testimony Of
II. l.. DbICllGAs IllC OdllIOI md OlI llclS
nate, that he personally loaned the
sum of 100000 to Secretary Fall
after the latter had testified he haC
accepted no financial assistance from
Doheney, has produced a sensation o:
startling proportions. Hardly les
sensational was the testimony of Ar
chic Roosevelt, son of the late Presi
dent, that he had severed his connec
ton with the Sinclair interests be
cause of information given him by thu
Secretary to Harry F. Sinclair, the OF
magnate, who secured the lease o.
, the Teapot Dome oil field in Wyom
, ing, information which led him to fea,
conditions which would make it i'm
possible for q self-respecting maj
, longer to maintain relations with til

Mr.. Coolidge and his sincere supper

more, it is becoming evident that a

far more by a desire for generous

United States Harness Co. case, fol-
lowing so closely on the heels of it's
defeat in the Chemical Foundation
case and in the Morse ship-building
case, is another source of anxiety to
the Coolidge interests. The case
against the Harness Company officials
was shown to be wholly unwarranted
and declared by the judge on the
bench to have been ''indefensible."
This only serves to emphasize the con-
tention that Harry NJ. Daugherty is
utterly incompetent as Attorney Cen
eral, that he is letting his subordi-
mates indict wholly innocent men on
the one hand and nthe other per-
hitting those unquestionably guilty
to escape, even prosecution, in many
instances. Of course Mr.. Coolidge
does not want to ask Mr.. Daughter

but he may be forced to.

period. Similarly the children match
phrases and pictures, sentences and
pictures, questions and answers with
pictures, and draws the objects rep
resented by printed words or phrases
given to him in an envelope.
In the work suggested for the first
grade one idea predominates-
teaching of word recognition and word
meaning.
Another feature of the exhibit is
the plan for the extension of sight vo-
cabulary to make more fluent read
ing possible, In the period for plan
ned seatwork following the word study
and language periods, children clas-
sify words arranging all pertaining to
certain occupation in one column,
ETC.; make lists Of the things a boy
likes, a girl likes, a man likes, or
finish sentences with adverbs denot-
ing how something happened.
Stories are given to the children,
cut apart between paragraphs. If a
child can arrange them correctly he

| less stories are given children V tn
the requirement that titles be sug-
gested. These are an excellent eXer-
else in teaching the central thought
in paragraph or story.
Some very interesting thought tests
are suggested for the fourth, fifth and
sixth grades, of which the following
is an illustration:
Jack sat on a stone wall. An old
apple tree covered with pink and
white blossoms leans over the wall
close beside Jack. Into one of its
blossoms crept a fat brown fellow
humming to himself. He came out a
moment later covered with yellow
pollen and few away. Jack watched
him as he crossed the meadow and
was lost to sight"
Question: What was it that Jack
had seen?
Memory tests on cumulative mater
iaI are also suggested as:

a summer day? The shining gold is

pond. Il is scattered through the
woods in bright yellow buttercups and
tiny bits Of it look out Of the eyes OF
