The Shakespeare Celebration in the Schools.
Nearly 2,000 schools representing half as many separate
fcommunities have alrefldy arranged for a pageant or dramatic
performance in commemoration of the 300th anniversary of
Shakespeare pageant or play; and a number of the summer schools
of education of the federal department of interior. Although the
ectaul anniversary occura in April, 1916, celebrations are to be
held throughout the year. Many elementary and secondary schools
will thiB year devote their entire commencement program to a
Shakespear pageant or play; and a number of the summer schools
will take advantage of the opportunity to give outdoor perform
unices 01 piays Dy Shakespeare or about him.
( In order to assist schools and colleges in planning celebrations,
the bureau of education, in co-operation with the Drama League
of America, has issued a bulletin giving practical suggestions as
to kinds of celebrations, type performances, lists of dances, and
designs for simple costuming for Shakespearean plays. The bureau
has distributed copies of this bulletin to all city school superintendents,
to principals of public and private secondary schools,
presidents of colleges, normal schools and.other institutions; and
arrangements have been made to furnish copies at a nominal cost
to school teachers and pupils.
The bulletin emphasizes the special opportunity afforded by
Hhe Shakespeare tercentenary to co-ordinate the sqhogl \v;ork in
literature, music and art with such practical subjects as shopwork
and physical education. "Merely as a matter of educational policy,"
declares the bulletin, "there is urgent need for the influence
which the Shakespearean festivals will exert in th schools. These
festivals are needed to give new tone and quality to the literature,
m.usical, dramatic and recreational interests of young people?|
and, indeed, of the public generally."
Mobilizing Ihdustry.
"What the government itself does in other countries has been
'undertaken in the United States by an unofficial committee on
industrial preparedness, working under the direction of the naval
consulting board. Mobilization of the industries of the country
should have been undertake^ by the United States government
years ago, but it remained, for a rather informal committee of
hustling scientists to obtain an offer to conduct a free advertising
campaign, nationwide, in support of the committee's plan to prepare
the industries of the country for the manufacture of munitions
of war."
So says the Washington Post, which contributes the following
to the further discussion of the subject:
"The details of the plan embrace a thorough inventory of
; American industry by an organization of 30,000 engineers. With
I 'national defense and international peace' as the slogan, the adj
vertising campaign will be conducted in all classes of publlcaj
tions, on billboards and by electric signs, 'without cost to the gov|
ernmcnt,' while the industrial inventory, involving the task of
; building up a card index system, will be based upon what it is
i necessary to know in determining the capacity and facilities of
I 30,000 plants which in time of war can be employed in the manu-j
i facture of munitions.
"In connection with this voluntary movement two thoughts;
i come to mind. One is that since it is deemed desirable by the mo-!
billzers to build up private munitions factories, the government
i should go slow about tearing them down, as is proposed in the
case of,private armor plate factories. Another thought is that
although Congress seems to have doubt about the ability of the
i government to recruit an adequate army, the volunteer movement
i among scientists, auomobilists, aeronauts and business men would
: seem to prove that the people of the nation are craving an oppor!
tunity to aid the government in defense.
''An aggressive society man of Philadelphia not long ago esj
tablisbed a camp under the direction of a national guard officer
i and soon obtained 8,000 volunteers for military training. If one
i man, without official power or authority; can do so much, there
is no excuse for the argument in Congress that difficulty would
| be experienced in obtaining the services of a large numher of
[.recruits."

The High School.
It is perhaps worth while stopping long enough to show by
figures the extent to which our current teaching fails, writes
I Abraham Flexner in the American Review of Reviews. Com1

| study Latin and algebra and geometry fail to master them do not
| exist. But we know that a large percentage of the better students
; of these subjects try the college entrance examinations, and that
for these examinations many receive special drill, in addition to
; the regular teaching.
Now in the examinations held by the college entrance board
; in 1915, 76.6 per cent of the candidates failed to make even a
; mark of sixty per cent in Cicero: seventy-five per cent failed to
: make a mark of sixty per cent in the first six books of Virgil,
i every line of which they had presumably read and re-read; 69.7
/ per cent of those examined in algebra from quadratics on failed
I to make as much as sixty per cent; 42.2 per cent failed to make
' sixty per cent in plane geometry.
What would the record be if all who studied these subjects
were thus examined by an imperial outside body? Probably some
I of those who fail do not do themselves justice; but as many?
t perhaps more?of the few who reach the really low mark of sixty
' ]ier cent do so by means of devices that represent stultification
I rather than intelligence. For nothing is commoner in the teach;
ihg of ancient .languages and formal mathematics than drilling in
, arbitrary signs by means of which pupils determine mechanically
vrtiat they should do, without intelligent insight into what they
are doing.
It is, therefore, useless to inquire whether a knowledge of
> . Latin and mathematics is valuable, because pupils do not get it:
and it ia equally beside the mark to ask whether the effort to obtain
this knowledge is a valuable discipline, since failure ia so
widespread that the only habits acquired through failing to learn
f Latin or algebra are habits of slipshod work, of guessing and of
rpechanical application of formulae, not themselves understood,

.practical skill, but we must train him to interpret what he thus

that he may know in intellectual terma the significance of what
he has perceived and done. The modern school would prove a disappointment,
unless greater intellectual power is procurable on
the basis-of a realistic training than has been' procured from a
formal education, which is prematurely intellectual, and to no
slight extent a mere make-believe.
The Noon Meal at Home.
There is no reason why the ordinary family dinner should
not be suitable for school children or served in a way that adapts
it to their needs, according to Farmers' Bulletin 712, "School
Lunches," just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture.
The usual first course of meat and vegetables contains
nothing, except the meat, which can not be given to the youngest
children. The vegetables, providing they are carefully prepared
by simple methods, are spocially needed and can often be made
attractive to children by being served with a little meat gravy.
As a substitute for the meat iself, milk can be provided in the
case 01 the younger children. These articles, with the bread and
butter, provide most of the food needed.
The dessert course is suitable for children as well as for
grown people unless it consists of rich pastries or puddings. The
latter are not considered wholesome for children, if for no other
reason than that they are likely to lead to overeating. Such desserts
as fruit, fresh or cooked, with cake; cereals with milk or
cream, and sugar; custards and custrad puddings; gelatin dishes;
simple ice cream; water ices, and other simple desserts may be
given.
Whether or not the family meal is healthful for children depends
not only on the food materials selected, but also on the way
in which they are cooked. Simple methods are to be preferred
from the standpoint of health as well as from that of the housekeeper's
time. All dishes that are likely to contain overheated
and scorched fats, such as foods carelessly fried in a pan in a
small amount/of fat, should be avoided. Deep fat frying is open
to fewer objections, since, if properly done, foods will absorb
little fat and tho fat will not scorch. Vegetables cooked in water
or in their own juices and seasoned with salt and a little butter
or cream, are easier to prepare than those that are served with
while sauco, scalloped, or cooked in other elaborate ways.
What is said above applies equally to all meals. There is,
however, one special precaution that applies to the noon meal
when it is hurried. This refers to tough, hard foods that are
likely to escape proper mastication. It is a mistake to think that
the foods given to children must-always be soft or finely divided,
for children's teeth need exercise quite a* much as their muscles
do. When time for eating is limited, however, it is well to omit
foods that are difficult to chew, and in extreme cases it may be
necessary to serve only soft or finely divided food?sandwiches
made from crustless bread with finely chopped fillings, for
example. Before resorting to this, however, it is well to make
sure that the time for eating and for insistence on good table
manners is not unnecessarily cut short. The advantage of putting
the meal on the table promptly and of having foods served
in -individual portions, or at least ready to eat when they are
brought to the table, should be kept in mind. To have the meat
already sliced and the dessert in cups instead of in one large dish
from which individual portions must be served, and to follow
the same general plan with other foods, mny change a hurried
meal into one at which there is plenty of time for attention to
details essential to health and good manners.
If special lunches, different from those prepared for the
family in general, are to bo given to school children, the following
nre suggested as bills of fare. They are only typical and many
others might be given which would be just as good.
1. Eggs, boiled, coddled, poached or scrambled; bread and
butter; spinach or other greens; cake.
2. Beef stew with vegetables; milk; crisp, thin lea biscuits;
honey.
3. Dried bean or pea puree; toast; baked apple; cookies. '
4. Vegetable milk soup; zwieback; rice with maple sugar
and butter, or with milk or cream.
5. Potato chowder; crackers; jelly sandwiches.

Education for Social Work.
Recent progress in training for a new-profession, that of
social work, is described by Miss Edith Abbott, of Hull House,
Chicago, in a publication just issued by the bureau of education
of the federal department of the interior.
According to Miss Abbott there are now five professional
training schools for social workers, the first professional school
of philanthropy having been established at New York in 1905.!
The example of New York in founding the first school for social
workers was quickly followed by Chicago and Boston. In Chicago
the settlements took the lead in this work, as the Charity Organization
Society had done in New York City. In 1903, Dr. Graham
Taylor, of Chicago Commons, and Miss Julia C. Lathrop, of Hull
House, in co-operation with the extension department of the University
of Chicago, organized lecture courses in practical work,

Science, and in 1907 the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy.
In 1904, the Boston School for Social Workers was organized
under the joint auspices of Harvard University and Simmons
College. In St. Louis a school of social economy, which
originated as a series of round table meetings for local social
workers, was organized in 1905; it was affiliated at one time with
the University of Missouri and later with Washington University.
Similarly, in Philadelphia, courses of lectures on the practical aspects
of social work became in 1910 a fully organized training
school, which is now called the Pennsylvania Sdhool for Social
Service.
Two events have had much to do with the successful growth
of these schools, according to Miss Abbott. The first is the series
of grants of money made by the Russell Sage Foundation, which
was organized and endowed for "the improvement of social and
living conditions in the United States." In the autumn of 1907
the trustees of the Sage Foundation made what might be galled
substantial "grants in aid" to the four professional schools of philanthropy
then organized?those in New York, Chicago, Boston
and St. touis. The grants to the schools were in the first instance
specifically given for organizing departments of social investigation,
no doubt in the belief that the work of investigating
and studying adverse social conditions might be in some measure
delegated by the foundation to the schools of philanthropy. The
Russell Sage Foundation "grants" meant for all the schools the
appointment of additional^members of the faculty, and through
the facilities for granting studentships, fellowships or scholaraVtivkc
fn ni?Am?ci'nrr nnivoraihr frotnnH mpn nnH U'fiffion

provement in the quality of the student body.
Another fact of importance in the recent growth of the
schools was the generous endowment of the New York School of
Philanthrpy during the year 1909-10 by the will of the late John
S. Kennedy, of New York, by which the school was assured of an
income from a sum which will ultiamtely amount to more than a
million dollars. The endowment of one of the professional schools,
giving it assured position of permanency and growth, has been of
assistance to all the other schools in sustaining the growing public
confidence in the importance of their work and the necessity for
providing them with the equipment needed to do that work well.
Whatever has made it possible for any one of the schools to improve
the character of its work has re-acted favorably upon all
the schools by setting a new and higher standard to which the
level of work in each school must be raised.
The report lays emphasis upon the development of "field
work" in connection with the professional training of social workers.
Miss Abbott declares:

why they cheered 10 lustily
when the speechmakers mentioned

were almost silent when the name Of

At the mention of Mr. Roosevelt's
