Lloyd George, in laying tbe allied , ultimatum before parliament, ex- | plained that while disarmament had i not proceeded as it should in Ger- I ?many, still the Germans luul accom ?plished a good deal along that line. At about the same time, ("harks Schwab, after a trip to Europe, re ?ported the Germans as recuperating ' faster: industrially than any other na tion, including the United States. | Here is something to think about. Primarily, disarming Germany was j to remove her poison fang. Second- j arily it was to reduce her internal j expenses so she could pay more j money to the allies. ^?fe*lc she has j not yet paid any satisfactory amount i of war damages, apparently she is; already demonstrating- that the eco- : . nomic. principle of disarmament is | sound. 'She is still maintaining l?rg- | er forces than she is entitled to. but | in comparison, to pre-war days her military burden is much lighter. Simultaneously her industrial wel fare* increases. Strangely enough. Germany, which by being disarmed. w:is to portray to the world for all time the awful late of militarism, offers instead the lirstv practical demonstration of dis armament as a factor in national prosperity. CLEAN BOOKS FOU CLEAN MINDS. Somebody asked an up-to-date woman if she had read a certain new novel, one of the "problem'* variety. ,"No," she replied calm'y. "I don't j associate with people li'ce that io. my j daHyiife, nor number Jieti; among} ray. friends. Why shoul.I I read about | them ?" .. It sounds rather priggish, but it ! Represents a sort of elean-mindedness J ali too rare in these flays. It sets a I good standard by which to judge I reading matter. The world is full of j sound, fine books which deal with j life as it should bo lived an 1 is l:ved y thousands of decent people every- j where. These books, if they toucn j upon immorality, do not gild it. They j _ ortray it for the noisome thing i K j and leave no glamour in the reader's mind. Yet books which are written j round what is sordid and unclean, j n?V which gloss it with a specious j plausibility, gain tremendous sale, j nd that among (these very decent j people. Why? If more people refused to take into their mindr- the unclean stuff which they would never think of admitting to their lives, what a cleansing of j the book shop shelves there would j be!' And still the world would be ful of delightful reading. ==? . j IGNORANT COLLEGE MEN. Thomas A. Edison, needing som? j new brainy lately for his big invent- ' ing plant in West Orange. N. .).. itbund when he tried f?? hire them that most men who possessed well j developed brains were "already Lu ! buMP.ess for themselves.*' He there-| fore set about t<> develop some for i himself, by "catching their owners j while they were young.*' H<- tried to| get hold of college men with the re-] quisite mentality, and was disap- ! pointed. They failed inisetably in his ; psychological tests. "Most college men. are amazingly ] ignorant." he comp'aiu.-'. "They don't I seem to know anything." He refers' to one college graduate who in his ?test was marked **X. V. Z." w 51:?-ii is the lowest rating. "The connection between that man's senses and his mind." he ex plains, "has hem atrophied." There is the secret of a vas1 amount of educated ignorance, in this world. The. college man undoubted ly; knew a great many things?-with hi:j mind. M:>st of them, perhaps, were things useful !>> know, provided the man knowing them were able turn them to practical us.-. But be had lost the necessary working ar range men c between senses and mind with which human Oeings are nat urally endowed. He could no longer learn easily and quickly, from his own observation, as children do?that is, from his senses t<> his mind-?nor could he perform the reverse process of letting his knowledge flow quick ly and easily from his mind <>ut through his senses, and into useful action. Here is, as Mr. Edison sees s<> j clearly, a common defect of modern [education, which grows worse as j school work and college work bc > come more stereotyped. The student j learns less and less from observation j from experience, from life itself, and 'more and more from books. Too of I ten he gets into a state of mind I where he can hardly learn anything any more except from print, j Unless he gets out of that state of mind, he will make no more real .progress and be of little practical use to himself or anybody else. Books are only helpers. The best education is what the pupil or stu dent gels for himself, from the in telligent use of his own senses. Thomas A. Edison thinks the schools should teach children by the moving picture method. He's per fectly willing to help straighten out the educational system, even if it in volves buying the films from him. * * * Another live-foot sh< if of books has been suggested, I" be made up entire ly of books entitled. "The Truth About the Peaco Treaty." Now for some helpful suggestions for shelving the lies about the treaty * * s-. The congressmen who object rest strongly to American representation on allied councils are the ones who, object most strongly to decisions made without such representation. * * * "Save the American Eagle!" plead j the ornithologists. "Including those | on the silver dollar," suggests lb banl". er. * * * Speaking of rending suits to the j cleaners?some 01" these divorce suits j need it badly. j * * * The United States expected to get ? nothing out of the war, and judging by Yap, that is exactly what she will j Set._ ( OST OF SCHOOL FAILURES. I - i A school official in a city of 800,- ; 000 population reports that pupi's] who fail in their grades cost the city j more than $1,006,000 a year. That] is the cost, he explains, of giving : them the same work over again the next year. What is true for that city is prob ! ably true for others.' Take a given ! population and allow $1.25 or $1.50] for each man. woman and child, and ! you-will have somewhere near the annual cost of school "failures." That, however, is only the first I cost, and the least. The city has j lost the price of a year's instruction df the pupils who did not paas?a j year's salaries for tin ir teachers and j a-year's interest and depreciation on 1 the "plant'' and its equipment. But 1 if you carry thes*; children on a few ; years, you find that the city has .:ls*> j lost a year's work, a year's services ! in the community life, from as many j as have been delayed in leaving school I and entering productive- pursuits. j And what of the children them- j selves? There are times, no doubt. ! I when a child benefits by being held ! back for a year behind the regular) schedule of promotion. But such times are exceptional. As a rule, it ! is probably time that the regular j schedule is unnecessarily slow, that ; an average child oir^bt to get through it in less time. Therefore, as a rule, ; the child who has lagged a year ii h's school work has lost a year out of his life. lie has lived the lost year, t-? be sure; but that year vvou'd mt-an much, mere to him in maturity. This los.; of time is serious. Xhege ought to be mere thinking along this line, on the part of* edu cators and ?>:i Um pan of th ? parents and t,u- payeis. failures arc not in evitable. There is a weil grounded no tion that when a pupil fa.'ls to pass, il is usually less his fault than thai of his..".teacher er his parents. <t both. Nyar.y a:I children a.iv bright: they are merely less brich! in some re spee'.x than others. Xcarly nil can pass if their interest is aroused and sustained. it is the work of the schools to appeal to that interest, and of the parents to support it in every way possible.
