Italian Reforms.

A constructive program of reforms
designed to redeem the Ira from it's
present depression and to rescue Italy
from an unfavorable trade balance has
just been proclaimed by the govern
ment at Rome. Nothing quite like it
has ever before been attempted by
any national administration, demo
cratic or monarchical. 1t is a drastic
series of restrictions and limitations,
coupled with affirmative proposals that
seek to cut down waste. increase pro-
duction. concentrate expenditures

Summer Schools.

The Summer schools continue to
grow in popularity, because they aim
TO meet the need of many young per-
sons and seem also to meet the de-
sire of many parents. The institu-
ton Of the Summer school, or the va
cation school. was long discussed and
long postponed. There was doubt
that children and parents wished
school work to continue through the
warm months. 1t was believed by
number of boys and girls would be
willing to foreSo vacation. 1t was Il
tradition and had come to be thought
one of the rights of youth. 1t seemed
that children would resent the taking
away of their olden privilege. 1t was
their right in Summer to go to the
farm of an aunt or uncle and learn
lessons in natural history by helping
to milk the cows and feed the chick
ems, to wander through woods and
learn the songs that the wind sings
in pine trees and the difference be-
tween white red and black oaks. 1t
was the children's right to go black
berrying and to help little in getting
the bugs off potdto plants and worms
off tobacco. 1t was also their right
to revel in the swimming hole of the
branch. to get sunburn and freckles
and to go barefoot and have expert
ence with stone bruises.
It is now known to be the desire
of many children, and of more than
the schools can accommodate, to
shorten the number of school years
and stick to their lessons with the
idea of getting to work earlier. There
Is an urge among young persons to
get on an earning basis. They have
seen father and mother perplexed
with the task of paying the grocery
bill and keeping up the payments on
the house. They have dreamed for
years Of being able to bear part of
the burden resting on mother and

Pass the Traffic Bill!

Although an opponent or certain
provisions in the amended traffic bill
was able to prevent final action on
the measure when it came up in the
Senate yesterday for the adoption or
the conference report, Washington Is
confidently expecting final passage in
both the House and Senate within
few days. In it's present shape 1t can
be called up in either house at any
time. All differences have been ironed
ont by the conferees and except for
its single opponent in the Senate the
bill meets with universal approval,
and should encounter no further delay.
The new traffic code is admittedly
not perfect, but 1t is a great improve
ment over the present code, and. fur
thermore, it's passage is necessary to
avoid additional confusion in the traf-
fic regulation of the city. With this
in mind Congress cannot act too quick
" in giving the National Capital the
benefit of an improved code.

questions await answer. If the Mus
solini government is going to compel
everybody to work an hour longer
each day it is tackling one of the
hardest Jobs it has faced from the
start.

ton, less luxury. This is the sub

trious. but they are also pleasure low
ing. The working classes have little
in the way of luxury. The more afflu'
ent delight in relaxations. Will the
new formula for the national life Ell
feet the desired results?
The economic effect Of even Il ten
per cent addition to production by
Italy will be felt beyond the bound
aries of the kingdom. Foreign mar
kets will be affected. The balance of
trade may not be soon reversed from
the unfavorable to the favorable side
of the ledger. but under an intensive
series of stimulationS Italy may gain
materially, and every item of gain on
this score will help the Ira. Thrift
and industry. maintained for decade,
will do much to redeem that unfor-
tunate currency unit from it's depressed
condition.

An undisciplined generation is
weak generation. Many of those who
are arguing for and against military
training in our schools tend to over
look the most essential consideration
connected with it.
Those who are its advocates point
out the physical benefits derived from
it, Clearly, military drill benefits pos
ture and has other advantages in
physical conditioning. But If the
same amount of time were used for
individual corrective exercises and for
mass activities where the game Gle
ment stirs the youths interest, great
err results would be obtained.
The opponent of military drill main
tainS that it breeds q militaristic
spirit, and is, therefore. detrimental
to the cause of universal peace. This
is an assertion that would be hard 10
substantiate. We have had military
training ever since this country was
founded. and the rarest trait in Amer
lean today is that of militafiSm. The
conversation and ideals of students in
military schools and colleges differ
very little from those in non-military
institutions.
The most essential consideration in
connection with military training is
it's disciplinary value. AS Ebert Hub
bard says, 1.-The thing that our young
men need most is a stiffening OF the
vertebrae, which will cause them to
be loyal to a trust, to act promptly,
concentrate their energies, do the
thing
That system of education which
overlooks the element of discipline is
weak. Many of our present-day prob
lens may be traced to a lack of disc-
pline; the unwillingnesS of youth to
do anything which does not suit their
fancy; the refusal of adults to observe
any law that runs counter to selfish
desires. Military training. where or
ders must be executed promptly and
accurately and without argument, has
a distinct and useful value i'll the
field of education.
