THINK 1T OVER

The main object of education is tn
teach people to think. and to think
straight The most important school
wears in the child's life are the arli
est years. Then the mind ia plastic
and good or had methods OF thought
are quickly acquired.
Do we give our youngest children
the benefit Of the best instruction? We
do not. Ii is customary 10 place our
most inexperienced and lowest paid
teachers in charge of the lowest
grades. AS soon as they have had
some experience and have shown
some ability as teachers we move
them into higher grades and pay them
larger "a alsries. Thus our teachers
are learning to do their work at the
expense of our children. Thus. in
stead of learning how to use their
minds, these children commit to mem
ory a few pages from book each
day only to forget them the next.
Remember this the ma jority OF our
young people do not have the benefit
Of high school or college training.
Our main interest. therefore. should
be to give the ma 1ority the best
possible equipment with which to face
life.
And what does it profit a student
who goes to high school or. college II
he has not been trained to use his
mind? He will build on a muddy
founda tion.
American life would he vastly

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC J. HASKfN.

q. Why was the Carlisle Indian
School abolished?-C. G.. n.
A. The Indian office says that the
Carlisle Indian School was originally
an old Army post which the war
Department turned over as a scho0i
in the r;a st for Indians. The agree
ment was that when needed the
Indian Office would give back the
post to the War Department. This
was done In the latter part OF the
war and the school was used for
reha bilitation work. The date was
December 21. 1918.
O. Is there any way that danger
Of ivy poisoning can be lessened AFTER
one has come In contact with the
weed?-C. n.
A. Thorough washing soon after
exposure to poison ivy reduces the
danger OF injury. Even after IN
f,ammation has developed, thorough
washing should be tried in order TO
remove from exposed surfaces OF the
skin all traces of the poison that can
still be reached.
q. Does the Forest Service put camp
grounds In the national forests!-
r. q.
A. 1t has developed or helped to de-
velop about 500 public camp grounds
in the national parks.

National observance OF flas uaE is

Spokesmen for Universities
From the Champaign NewsGazctte.


An assertion was made by Prof
Charles ii. Woolbert at the I<iwa mis-
Club meeting last Thursday that al
most invariably the spokesman for d
university ia an administrator or holds
an executive position. He declared
that the average Instructor Is ex
pected to cOnt1ne his Telns rks Oh edu,
cation largely ~ the classroom. The
professor was stressinE the fact that
there should be a return to an educa-
tional policy which would make teach
ing primary and administration sec
undary. His remarks referred to uni
versities in general and to no partic-
ular institution.
Ii may be true also that the aver
age instructor feels u restraint In dis
cussing his institution that is not war
ranted. 1t cannot be denied, however,
that he Is scrupulously careful not to
offend the administratiO and execu-
tends to q free discussion of the policy

take advantage of 1t.

Radio and Weather.

Paul Painleve, the minister of war
IN the French government, is a sci
enlist as well as a statesman, and in
the intervals of comparative leisure
Afforded in his strenuous official ca
reer he studies electrical phenomena
particularly radio. Lately he has
come to the conclusion that the uni.
versal use of the radio has exercised
q bsleful influence upon the weather
For some time past the china tic con.
diticns Of western Europe have been
. ucss tisfac ctory. The temperatures
have been unduly low and the humid
sity has been high. Rains and fogs
/ have prevailed to an unusual extent.
This IL NJ. Painleve's hypothesis:
II You introduce radiotelephonic
emissions into a tightly incIosed room
where the air is absolutely transpa r.
ent. In a. moment little drops of water
will begin to form on your face. What
has happened? The Hertzian fog ha $
become ionized and electricized and
the invisible fog found in every home.
hss turned into water. You have
made rain In your own house. One
therefore. can conclude that the mui
titude of radiot elephonic waves exist
ing in the ether just nov produces
the same effect upon the atmosphere
the result being the very beautiful
month Of June with rain each day.
Which is certainly interesting. But.
II may be suggested, there have been
rainy spells in the past. long before
radio was known; spells when for
many days and even for weeks rains
hsre fallen and fogs have prevailed.
and there We're no broa dca sters, and
there was no listening.in. Were the
/ Hertzian waves then going forth as
they do now, only in some other
form? OF course we know that the
, present day science of radio is but the
discovery and application and direc-
ton Of forces that have always ex-
listed. Man has simply found way
to create the impulses artificially. and.
bsing of his own production, they are
susceptible Of mana cement. And,
moreover. radio is not of such very
