Lucky Canada.
Buffalo Express. )

Lucky Canada, We read that mo country comparable in size and few countries comparable in population are so free from the expense oi armamens as the Dominion is. With a navy consisting of eight small ships, the largest of which is a destroyer, and standing army of less than 5000 men, the question is not one which causes trouble to the Canadian represen- tatives at world conferences the trying subject of disarmament.
 In the last fiscal year Canada spent her army navy and air services $1S,350000, or about the cost of of the heavier battleships being built today Of this amount the militia service takes more than 5000, 900. It is the policy of the Department of National Defense of Can ada to maintain a small permanent force chiefly for training and ceremonial purposes It is a highly specialized body which is expected to direct most of it's activities to the training of the non permanent militia, which corresponds to the National Guards of the United States.
 The department also keeps alive by the main- tenance of skeleton units of the permanent force the traditions of famous regiments such the Princess Patrcia's Canadian Light Infantry, the Royal Canadian Regiment, the Royal Canadian Dragons, the Strathcona Horse, and the Fort Gary Horse. While the officers of these estab- lshments out of normal proportions to the ranks they kept highly trained by frequent staff courses sn Great Britain and other parts lof the British Empire.
 But don't they talk at Ottawa about lack of means of defense? Don't they ex- claim over the want of preparedness? Don't high military officers tell how the army is being starved and how the means hand for de- stroying others would last only for day? Don't naval officers proclaim the need of parity" Don't the airmen explain how inadequate is the supply of bombing planes? Don't they cry out with fear that their cities may be laid waste by an imagined enemy?
 If not, then again, Lucky Canada

THE CAPITOL WILL BE BUILT.

At last we have evidence that we are nearing the fruition of the long campaign for the con struetion of the Alaska Capitol We have the pictures of the tentatively agreed upon plans ol the six-story building that will occupy an area 200 feet by 130 feet on the block surrounded by Fourth Fifth Main and Seward Streets Three quarters of a million dollars for the construction of the building has been authorized and szoo'ooo ar s25O 900 of it made immediately available.
 This means that construction of the Captol will begin this year and that it will be pushed to completion as rapidly possible. It has taken many years to bring about this consummation. At times the campaign has shown so little pro gress that it required a superlatiye amount oi optimism not to feel that it was futile to labor for results from Washington.
 However the battle has been won. Soon II will be realized that the labors for it have been well worth while. It will be a commanding show building for Juneau. It will anchor the capital of the Territory here where none Will dispute our right to it, and it will serve long felt want in the activities of both the Federal and Territorial Governments.
 The immediate effect of the beginning of construction will be to add to the payrolls Ill this City and to bring men and equipment here that will encourage further building Il IS an earnest of the good times that are coming

Borah Answers Reed.
(Cincinnati Enquirer. )

Now Senator Borah has been put on record on issuos very vital to the Presidential campaign Dr C A l. Reed of Cincinnati is the man "ho drove him into corner with questlonnalre The Senator has answered three questions wlth a blunt No" The Anti-Saloon League hardly will be pleased. The Senator's answers com init him as follows:
 He is not '.in favor of the principles ana prac- tices of super government exemplifed by the AntiSaloon League by the Board of Prohibition Temnerance and Morals of the Methodist Church and by the Ku-Klux Klan." The Senator pialnly disoualifes himself for delegate to the confer enee of representatives of that super government to be opened at St. Petersburg, Fla, March 4 His second No" commits him to opposition to any religious denomination being established in Washington "for the purpose of censorship and dictatorship over all branches of our con stitutional government the Methodist Church now openly assumes to exercise.
 The Senator's third "No' commits him against the nomination of anyone at Kansas City who emanates from the aforesaid super gov ernment, and who if elected, would be the agent of the Ant-Saloon League in the White House.
 Therefore, it may be assumed that the Sen ator from Idaho, who himself has been pestering Presidential possibilities with yquestionnaires to make them disclose their attitude toward the prohibition amendment and the Vostead act, is against what the supergovernment of the Anti Saloon League and the Ku Klux Klan stands for, which is somewhat inconsistent with his own de- claration for enforcement of the amendment and he

EDUCATION FAILURE.

The Empire does not pose as an expert O ducation methods a subject that is attractin iscussion throughout the country. It has fell however. that there is merit in the contention hat we are attempting to cover too muc round at the expense of thoroughness. Ger ainly this contention is advanced by authoritie hat deserve very careful and conscientious con alteration.
 It is with this thought in mind, rather tha IS a complete endorsement of the sentiments con aimed in it. that the following editorial fro1 he Wall Street Journal, which appeared unde he heading "Our Education Failure" is repro luced
 In an article contributed to the New York Evening World of March 13, Presi- dent Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin, says
 When I say that l think the
 ideal citizen will maintain utili
 tarian attitude toward education,
 do not mean he will think only of
 vocational education and technical
 training for bread and butter work;
 I mean only that he will insist that
 our educational system shall seek
 to fit men for living and working
 in the America of 1928, rather than
 following blindly the conventional
 objectives of education that have
 come down to from the Middle
 Ages.
 But the plain fact is that eve have lost the heritage of the Middle Ages. What was taught then was taught thor oughly and the knowledge stuck The one essential of all education to fit man for continuing to learn throughout life was present then and is lacking to- day The child was taught the dise- pline of learning.
 Any employer who has seen a high school graduate spend half hour to find a word in the dictionary name in the telephone directory and has made the surprising discovery that the child taught the alphabet, parrot fashion," knows what this al- legged modern education is worth. Only the other day lad of seventeen sub mitted four answers 10 simple in arithmetic, every of them wrong. He thought his employer could take his choice, and it appeared that he had never been taught the multiplication table.
 In the Middle Ages if by that elas- tic term Dr. Frank means the period preceding the Renaissance, there was little Greek taught but plenty of Latin because the college or schools invariably were conducted by the church The Latin thorough if it was not very classical But what the pupil knew he knew thoroughly Today we try to teach him hundred things without the slightest real sense of their proportion ate worth. We allow the pupil to lay out his own program before we have taught him the things which are the backbone of all knowledge.
 Only the other day the unfeeling President of Harvard read the Riot Act to some snug schoolmasters who had expected the University to teach what should have been thoroughly drilled in during the earlier part of the high school course The high schools them selves complain that the child comes to them from the elementary school with
