THE "IDLE HOUSE"

certain state penitentiary is harshy criticised,
and Justly, for its idle house" There is large room
in which prisoners kept when there is work for
them to do 1t is always full The occupants regular
ly number hundreds All they do there is sit
around benches looking the walls and occasion
ally talking little to each other.
Facilities for reading or for playing games, which
might be expected in such place, almost wholly
lacking. The prisoners usually sit there brooding-or
plotting new crimes. The Devil does his best there,
but even he cannot keep the place from deadly dull
ness with physical and mental rot along with moral
rot.
This uncivilized institution is not peculiar to the
penitentary in question 1t is found in many another
place of correction, almost as bad.
And strange to say although it would take courage
to say it to any guilty parent many home, which
ought to be happy constructive and useful Is idle
house" n9ade by parental rules foolish as those
prison rules.
The child wants to get into action. He wants ex-
erCise for body and mind. He is full Of ideas that he
to express in work and play. And always there
is somebody saying "Dont. instead Of giving him op-
portunity and help.
Often the idle house in the prison serves as a
sort of postgraduate school for such "ide house"
, at home.

BRITISH AMERICAN COOPERATION

American cooperation with the British Empire,
Australian speakers tell the visiting American navy
will insure the peace of the world
That is reasonable proposition. Many an Amer
lean speaker and writer has said the same thing. A
working combination of the United States, greatest of
democraces, with socaed empire which is really
great federation denlocraces should insure the tr
umph of the democratic idea upon which the World
War hinged, and which is today the most potent force
in the world Such working arrangement, too,
would array against possible enemies military and eco
nomic resources that likely group of other nations
could match 1t is natural thing too for these great
Anglo-Saxon civilizations to face world problems to-
gether.
Just the same it is we'll not to stick to close to-
gether bar all the rest of the world. Friendship
with the British may be, and apparently ought to be,
the cardinal principle of American foreign policy as
friendship with America is the cardinal principle OF
British foreign policy. But turning the cold shoulder
the of the world while cutivating this friend
ship, would be to make enemies unnecessarily and in
vite strong combinations of other powers against Ang-
lo-Saxon domination.
While having particularly good friends, it is
well to have good friends IN every racial group and in
every quarter Of the world International cooperation
is thing to be spread around.

WEATHER FANS

Local weather Is something that every native resi-
dent feels free to gamble about On the other hand it
its something outsiders should either praise let
alone. Yet with all this fervd animosity against
loyalty TO the weather few really give it
serious thought find what fun it IS % observe
weather changes to study weather conditions and to
learn to enjoy almost all sorts Of weather for their
beauty and variety
One doesn't have to have thermometer and barom-
eter and hygrometer to become weather fan, but
those things help considerably in acquiring phil0-
sophcal and intelligent attitude toward the weather
Perhaps 1t Is better to grumble at the weather
han at ones fellowmen. But perhaps too. a keener
and more scientific interest in the weather NIGH
make it less necessary to grumble al all. A true
weather fan gets some enjoyment out of all seasons
and knows how TO endure the worst days
