The child who has learned to think will he an educated adult Once a person has learned to think, all else Is easy. The one final, right Judgment of all school methods is bound up iu this. ■ It. 4a- not -how. aBefc.-loforroatlon the child galus; all schools give too much of this commodity, nor Is it the facil ity to think It thinks, but It Is to think deeply and reason accurately that is the one primal essential. Nor can this be acquired quickly, says Duluth "N e^Tribuner“lLs"'7ofln‘“7a‘y v_ Ch a p- man In The Schoolmaster in the cur rent Atlantic says: “You must find some well-developed intellect, set It In contact with your child and allow them both time to do good work.” These Two conditions are the essence of the contract of education. Our school system grants neither. Yet as Mr. Chapman also says: “Depth can be imparted through the teaching of anything. It can be imparted through Latin grammar, through handwriting, through carpenter work, through arith metic or history." In other words, it Is not the subject but the quality of the teacher, '^'^'iflibbls C^cKtiig quality la positively discouraged. U. S. BANKERS IN WORLD. America Is now called upon to play a role undreamed otf In former yeari’ In International comtneitct *bd finuncq. This country has become the oue great source of long-time capital in the world. Bitropeair Countries which have previously been the. chief lending na tions are, for the present at all events, no longer In a position to lend by buy- lag foreign sectritlt IE PEACE v It strikes some students of aspects, of the world unrest as rather Strange that such a large proportion of the red agitators who have been brought to book recently have been Spaniards or of other European races which had little to do with the recent war. It Is not so strange, however. A great many radical Socialists found sanctu ary in Spain during the war, thereby saving their precious skins* and while their brothers were fighting at home, they were posonlng the minds of susceptible Spaniards with their In sidious doctrines of bolshevism, says Buffalo Commercial. While the rest of the world, or that part of It which has ideals of right and Justice, fought and suffered these men were prepar ing for what they could reap of trou ble and profit in the after-the-war period. Among the unobtrusive disappear ances which the end of the war brought about is that of Karl Rosner, the Boswell of the former Emperor William, and the author of that mon arch’s violet-picking feat on the field of battle. As an imperial press agent he would have stood out as one jof the colossal failures of Hun strategy had lie not faded away so completely as not even to leave a blot on con temporary history. * General Candldo Augllar saya the differences between Mexico and the United States would be settled amic ably If the American people would ‘Trust In the good faith of the Mexi can government." All the Mexican government needs to do Is to show that It deserves trust In its good faith. Then every difficulty will disappear.

Pittntan Compromise Proposal la Net Sponsored by the President, But Follows up Hii'Gefteral Ideas. Woman now takes the lead In ag* gresslveness; husbands actually have been severely beaten, and the husband beaters the wfitpplnga. bat' .1- lege they were, deserved. The world la npside down, and all things have changed. In the olden days the wife stayed at home and cooked the meals aud looked Sfter the children, If there were any. Now they roam and ram ble; now their children go to scien tific kindergartens and are cared for; and wives, some of them, anyway, work in the subway or perform as conductors on surface trams. The man no longer Is boss, not even of himself, and In the family domicile he takes a back seat. We tell wives that a spirit of unrest prevails, says New York Telegraph. Husbands may do longer endure woe and redness of eyes and wounds without cause. A noted cartoonist Is engaged at this minute in organizing a League of Hus bands for self-protection. It may have a crowded membership.

Now we are told that a band of scientific burglars has been arrested at Berlin—they Intended to rob the city “by sections, dealing with profession after profession, and be ginning with kinema stars, the most likely to have money In modern Ber lin.” This la German efficiency in a new phase, though, of course, the world was made familiar with Its criminal possibilities In the systematic looting of towns in the invaded dla- tricts of France. The yeomanette Is to go. She was <Aie of the most picturesque features of the war and she did her work well, and many will lament her pass ing. But the emergency to which she pwed her official being Is over, and private life will soon absorb the fem inine auxiliary to the anny and navy. Two women were killed and a man badly Injured when an airplane at tempted a landing. Every new inven tion thus adds a dahger te civilization, the prospect of being run down from the air being a particularly appalling one, as the pedestrian has every right to claim the right of way on the sur face of the earth. A congressional leader likens the cost of living to a pendulum, a fine figure of speech except for the gen erally accepted fact that In reality It Is an upward-bounci skyrocket with an unlimited supply of fuel and ap parently n determination—to- prove that what goes up may keep on go- ing up. H ^ V.. —-I-—— The German military leaders who •re trying to assume responsibility for the ex-kaiser’s acts need not be anxious to overburden themselves. They will have plenty on their hands In respect to their own responsibili ties. The steel and copper plate printers declare that the nation’s paper cui^ rency is old and soiled and germ laden, and menaces the public health. The more some people’s health Is menaced the better they like it. Army camera chief says Pershing was disgusted because they took la all 15,000 feet In films of him. Seems that in 15,000 feet of films they could have gotten a few good enough to sat isfy him.

The Huns may have no sense of humor, but their solemn description of Gennany “at the head of the op pressed peoples of the earth,” la cer tainly a huge Joke on the champion nation oppressor of the world. Thousands of foreigners are sailing dally from American ports to the old country. For many of them, although they may not know It, It Is a one-way trip. Uncle Sam Is going to be more particular henceforth.

Virginia-Carolina tobacco I i r still holds the world’s favor t N, in J.587, the tobacco that we know as Virginia-Carolina tobacco - N >- - ‘the rage”. Since then it has steadily in popularity all over the world. , In 1918, in the United States alone, five times more Virginia-Carolina tobacco was smoked in cigarettes than all the foreign-grown tobaccos combined. That’s because a cigarette of this sun-ripened home-grown tobaqco has a crisp, lively relish that no cigarette of foreign or mixed tobaccos can match. # Piedmonts—made entirely of choicest ; Virginia-Carolina—will prove this to you. fi'st ; The Virginia - Carolina Cigarette NOTE—Virginia-Carolina tobacco 1* grown bar* in tbs i U.
