Blllte and Jlmmle had been layBag for him, so Uncle Dan was cap- ' {tared by the boys on short order. **8ay, Uncle Dan," Blllte began. "We fcad a red-hot argument at school yes- | Iterday with Carl Newman. Carl said ghat German schools were miles ahead mt our schools and that no one could |?ome up to the educatei German. Well, | Ulmmlc got hot under the collar and ! Winded It back to him good and plenty. ; ramie said If their education taught them to torpedo Lusttanlas, sink hospital ships, murder hundreds of worn?n and children, make slaves of the Belgians, poison wells, destroy fruit trees and commit all sorts of crimes, then we did not want that kind of education here. What do you think jabeut It, Uncle Dan? I told Jlmmle CD spent a lot of time In Europe and ew all a boat schools, so give ns your <eplnlon.n "Well," replied Uncle Dan, deliberately, "the German schools are very thorough; they furnish exceedingly valuable and practical Instruction. The "Industrial training given there Is probably the best to be found. The schools s s whole, however, In my opinion, appeal to the head only, and never to -the heart. The aim apd trend Is to ( j?ake the Individual blindly submissive to the Prussian plan of world dominion ; they teach that It Is the des- , tiny of Germany to rule the world, and Hiat to the glory and advance of Germany, In this plan, all things mast give i "Way; that the kaiser as bead of the State, can do no wrong If he carries tforward the plan of world control. |Some of the greatest teachers and rpreachers even defend and Justify her heartless crushing of Belgians and the ' many other atrocious crimes she has committed In this war. Thank God, our American education reaches both the head and the heart. It Is an education with a soul, and we must main- { tain the high Ideals we have fixed. In , m word. In Germany, the people are taught that they exist for the government, while here the government ex- ' lsts to serve the people." "Just wait a minute," Interrupted : Blllle. Say that over again slowly, so < 'I can write It down." i Uncle Dan. smilingly, complied. Blllle exclaimed: "Now, we will hand that nut out for Carl to crack. Carl, you know," continued Blllle, "has a very smart father who keeps "him posted on the German arguments. Carl said our government was only | ( an experiment anyway; that It would ' not last twenty years, and that It might hurst up any old time. Jlminle asked him If Germany was so mighty good, why they did not go back there to live." MOnr (rnrnrnmonf trill en An fnrnvnr von't It, Uncle Dan?" "Now," said Uncle Dan, "yon are falsing a big question, and one that has troubled me for years. Our government Is still In the experimental atnge; In fact, It Is the greatest experiment ever undertaken, and If popular government Is to be successful, a 1 few thi; ;s must be done, otherwise, to i paraphrase the great Lincoln, the gov-; I ernment of the people, by the people and for the people, will perish. It Is i my firm conviction," said Uncle Dan, < In a \ery Impressive manner, "that If : our country is to go on, as we hope 1 and pray, we must very quickly do ] at least three things, and I will name them In the order of importance as It < appears to me i "First, adopt compulsory universal military training of all young men 'physically fit before they reach the i 'age of twenty years. ! "Next, require that every foreigner i who conies here to live must, within a i {reasonable time, say a year, declare .his intention of becoming an American ? : citizen and take the necessary step!* to < |do so, thereby, from that moment, as- i suming all the obligations of citizen- . ship of our country, and that means he J must defend o :r flag upon'equal terms I with our. native born, and if he Is not ! willing to do this, he should be sent back from whence he came." i "That's the stuff," exclaimed Rillle. < "And, finally, ennct such legislation < as will make voting compulsory. Pop- 1 nlar government Is based upon the < participation of all and the rule of j the majority, and democracy cannot * continue and be successful unless we 1 live up to the spirit of the lustltu- < tlon. s "The first step, however, la the pass- i lng of the Chamberlain bill for unlver- * sal military training. If you will get * the leading citizen, and especially the ^ editor of your paper, to write personal letters to your congressman and both aenators, urging their support, It will i help enormously. " "I see by the morning nepers," said Uncle Dan, "that the Rotary clubs of jthe entire country, the llvest, most efficient organization to be found, have ? unanimously decided to get back of ?< the Chamberlain bill and give it loyal I and enthusiastic support. They will tl work with the Universal Military J 'Training league to accomplish this Im- h portant piece of legislation, which will ^ {do more than anything elae to make ua tl a real la tlon with a common view- l 'point Mn? us back to sane living, and Mer u~ ne patriotism of service," 4 % f THE LANCJ U.
