See the School Now
(New York Times)

The custom has been for parents and friends OF
pupils to visit the school its "last day., its COM
mencement. But there is then no real seeing of the
school. The time to learn what is actually being
done is when teachers and pupils in the midst
of their daily program Of teaching, recitation, study
and play. An invitation to do so this week is espe-
cally urged upon those who are interested in pub
lie education, ought to be- The schools will be

such instruction, in morals and manners as we'll as
in subjects of study should not make itselfsmore

orally the most hopeful institution that democracy
has to count upon. The constant surprise is that
the adult world is not better than it is with such
tuition. But one has to search outside the school
for the reason.
It was suggested by the health commissioner a
few days ago that the school day should be short
ened for reasons Of health. But the remedy for
conditions which he had in mind is not shortening
the school day but adopting the program which
several of the larger cities in America have put
into successful operation-a platoon plan which di-
vdes the time among the varied activities that may
most profitably engage the child's attention and
incidentally makes fuller and more economical use
OF the school plant It is significant commentary
on the commissioners proposal that the most hope

crowds went in, the favorite sport of Gerard de

peared in public Invested Of his flamboyant rose

These names from another world and another age
may not stir the casual reader with much emotion.
But it should be refreshing to those who question
the Improvement of the with age to reflect that
our great men today do not drag Holsters by a
string, dye their hair green, or wear vermilion
to get renown.
1t is the struggling, aspiring immature one who
carries monkey down Fifth avenue, wears rose
suits, or goes barelegged to attract attention.

Plays which were barred from the stage of 20
years ago are found today almost Puritanical in
their viewpoint.
Some find these facts argumentatNe proof that
the world is growing laxer, that the casual accept

indicates lower morality standard.
Most OF US prefer to interpret it, however, u

Finding the Utopia

II was back in l887-ess than 40 years ago--thaS
!. hook called Looking Backward" made great
stir the world over The book was by the socioo
gst, Edward Beamy. 1t was just the old Utopia
theme again.
The hero, Julian West, young Bostonian OF 1881
rich but troubled by the ageod problems Of society
was put to sleep hypnoticaly by his physician. he
awoke in the year 1000.
He found smooth running society composed OF
individuals who could not believe his tale of how
things went back in 1887
This Utopia, most marvellous Of all, was SO regu
lated that human beings could have the elementary
physical functions Of life taken care offood. shell
ter, warmth, and yet have time and energy and
means left to get at some of the ends rather than
the Of life.
Which, after all, is about the only eternally big
human problem-how to keep going and yet have
good time. in spurts, at least-how to get some
thing out Of life"
The only reason for recalling Looking Back.
ward" right now is that many ways are being
tried today to make this sort of Utopia come true.
Shorter working hours, higher wages all sorts
of better employment condition regulations seek Il
make work an easier and pleasanter thing.
And the radio the theatre, the automobile, tn
movie, and enough magazines to meet the taste O
everyone, all at little cost and "pay on time
basis give the average human a pretty good chance
to play they co.
Maybe by 1000 A. d. this Utopia will be found.
