What England Asks

Indications increase that disarmament in any i'm
portant sense is not likely to result from the present
three-corner conference at Geneva
The British proposal with regard to cruisers seems
to make this certain.
While denying that the figure of 100000 tons repre-
sents her desire in the matter OF cruiser tonnage
Great Britain does not repudiate the statement that
she hopes for cruiser strength approxmating that
She hopes in other words to double her present
strength
And that can scarcely be called gesture toward
disarmament.
The announcement of her willingness to see Amer
lean cruiser power brought up to parity with her
own doesn't anything, of course. While Amer
lean naval authorities would like to add certain
number of cruisers to navy they recognize that
increasing our present 100000 tonnage to 100000
would involve enormous waste. They wouldn't pro-
pose it even if they thought Congress would give
them respectful hearing, which Congress wouldn't
The situation facing the three parties at Geneva
is unfortunate Absence of France and Italy makes
it The difficulties that lie between Britain and
America could be disposed Of if the British did not
have the French and Italians to consider.
Great Britain talks great deal about her long
trade lines the life blood of the empire and that sort
OF thing. But it is not her long trade lines that
really worry her. Of no more Importance are her
much mentioned trade lines than is the sea route
that connects Holland with the Dutch East Indies
The industrious Hollanders seem to get along and
prosper in this quarresome world, however without
much more of navy than the Swiss. Borneo, Su-
matra and Java are half way round the world from
her, but boats flying the Dutch flag carry the groceries
from these colonies to the mother country day in
and day out and you never hear of any trouble
resulting.
Brtain's worry is not her trade routes. 1t is the
old, old question of the European balance of power
The recent revealed the effectiveness of tile
submarine. France and italy have been stocking up
on submarines ever since. What Germany did with
these inexpensive instruments they propose to be
able to do if occasion arises That is why they have
remained away from this Geneva conference With
plenty of submarines they believe they can stand
Great Britain of, while proceeding with any plans
they may have.
Light cruisers come the nearest being an answer
to submarines of anything yet devised Wherefore
Britain wants them and wants them in great
numbers
There appears to be only way that disarma-
ment can be furthered at the present moment and
that is by persuading France and Italy to enter the
discussion.

The Right View of Education

To hear many school teachers talk shop, it would
appear that theirs the dullest and dreariest and
most uninspirng job in the whole world. There are,
however, a few who sanely view the profession as
pretty fair play and short hours with long vacation
and they work at their trade though it more
than hum drum slavery The real teachers in this
latter class can now be found in summer schools,
brushing up little on this that, getting ready to
deliver knowledge as best they Whether these
teachers regard mere knowledge as the supreme end
in view, or whether they regard knowledge as mere
means to an end should be of Importance. AS Judge
Kavanaugh of Chicago recently told middle western
teachers convention it is necessary to teach other
things than those found in textbooks Acquisition
of sense of responsibility and knowledge of how to
deal with success and failure more essential in
life than knowledge of the binonial theorem or the
extraction of cube root.

Who's Fit to Be President?

There being some talk of owen D. Young as
possible presidential candidate the point is raised
that he would be unavailable because he happens to
be the head of big business corporation.
This amounts to saying that the people of this
country are so preudiced against big business gen
orally that they wouldn't trust in the White House
any citizen who has won in the business field
especially if his business and his happened
to be unusually big.
We believe this prejudice exists largely in the tiid
minds of politicans-and politicians don't always
guess right when guessing what is going on in the
minds of their constituents.
While there may be prejudice against Henry Ford
for some things he has done outside of his activities
as manufacturer certainly there is little prejudice
against him in the minds of the so-called masses
because of his outstanding success as captain of
industry and his great wealth.
On the other hand there would be great preju
dice against Judge Gary, head Of the gigantic steel
corporaon but not because the steel corporation is
big business. It is rather because of the known
reactionary trend of Judge Garys mind evidenced
in more ways than one, but particularly in his de-
termined effort for so many years to maintain the
seven day week and the twelve-hour day for steel
workers.
There are different types of mind among captains
of industry just there different types of mind
among labor leaders. Some have vision; others
haven't. Some recognize an obligation of the indi-
vidual to society; others don't.
There is some prejudice against big business. At
one time it was quite general. But it wasn't some
thing INFORM In created by the conduct of some
big business managers who gained power and organ
izaton of a generation ago. That abuse of power
brought its curbng by government; and that curb
ing in turn brought educational process that
enlightened such captains of industry capable
of enlightenment.
Now have railroad presidents who sensitive
to public opinion and who recognize the rights of
others, as well as some hangovers from other days
who haven't yet learned their lesson. We have cap
tains of industry who have seen the light and under
stand that, after all, they public servants; and
we still have some with the Baer attitude and who
think that industrial, financial and commercial kings
rule by divine right
&c. in talking about available presidential timber
1t would be well to things they now, rather
than they were twenty thirty years ago-to
separate the sheep from the goats and to judge
by their real worth, their understanding and their
democratic sense of obligation to organized society.
We not making argument for against
Owen D. Young as presidential possibility, but we

TJGHTNING PRINTS

The belief that lightning some
times impresses Photographic images
on the human skin is one of those
fallacies that no amount of lex
ploding" suffices to kill. Hardly
year passes in which cases of this
alleged phenomenon are not re-
ported in the newspapers. The
images are usually said to be those
of trees; sometimes of leaves.
The truth underlying these tales.
is that ramifying pink marks, bear
ing some resemblance to trees or to
the venation of leaves, are often
found on the bodies of those who
have been struck by lightning, with
or without fatal results. These
marks are called lightning prints. y"
They generally fade out of sight in
a few days. They are in no sense
photographs, but merely the LESSONS
due to the passage through the
tissues of a branching electrical dis
charge. The heat generated by
such discharge resistance accounts
for the alteration of the tissues, as
in the case of other electrical in
juries.
The correct explanation Of light
ming prints was first given by
Rindfleisch in 1862.

by Dexter NJ. Keezer

dentist extracted womans teeth, and allowed
one of the teeth to fall down her throat. She was
under an anesthetic at the time and did not know
that it had happened. She did not find out until
three years later when the tooth taken from her
lung She sued the dentist for damages on account
of malpractice for permitting the tooth to fall down
her throat and neither recovering it nor saying any
thing about it. One of his defenses was New York
statute providing that suits for malpractice must be
brought within two years after the time of the al
legged malpractice. To this the woman replied that
she had no chance to bring suit during the two
year period because she didn't know the tooth had fall
len down her throat until 1t was discovered in her
lung three years later
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Appellate division Of
the Supreme Court of New York decided that the
woman could not recover damages for malpractice be-
of the statute limiting such suits to period of
two years after the offense was committed.

School for Children

!. Man never copies nature exactly,
but he invariably borrows his basic
ideas from her. This is just as true
today as it ever was. If it hadn't
been for the birds, we wouldn't be
flying across the ocean. 1t is true
that much time was wasted trying
to fly like birds, and that their
form and method had to be aban-
doned. But they were responsible.
Nature is still the greatest teacher
that we have and this Is the time
of year in which we find her in a
friendly mood. There is something
to be gained through a vacation in
the country besides rest and recrea-
ton. 1t is a pretty good school and
especially for children who have
grown up in town.
It gives them a scene of value
they cannot acquire from brick
walls, paved streets and machinery
They see life as life is actually
lived, get an understanding of
where their food and clothing comes
from, of how slow and exacting the
procession of growth and reproduc-
ton really are.
A months association with trees,
flowers, cows, hens and pigs is not
only a wonderful, but a very bene-
fetal thing to the modern child.
