Perhaps, but there are also others among the 90 per cent likewise useless, al though possessed of all their physi cal and mental facultitl. No Economic Cure-Ail, Economic and social changes are always slow processes. There are no overnight revolutions of Industrial relations. It took our ancestors cen turies to substitute fixed habitations for nomadic life. Feudalism and craft apprenticeship gave way but gradually to the factory system, and even with the swift subjection of steam and electricity to our uses the organization and consolidation of our great modern corporate industries has taken many years. Just figure, then, that the hands of time are not going to be suddenly turned back, and that no great, social cure-all will . make a millennium, on earth In the twinkling of an eye. , No great forward movement can be taken without developing evils and abuses, and our social ills, like our physical ills, must be alleviated by special remedies, properly and per slstently applied. Promises come cheap, particularly from ' office- seekers in the heat of a political cam paign, but promises must be tested by the possibility of fulfillment. A credulous child banks on the promise of the moon as a plaything, but no intelligent man will put faith in pal pable delusions. premacy in the Mediterranean In the event of conflict. But even that will not be accepted as justification. Gasoline and Automobile. ' Recent Increases in the price of gasoline, as much as 6. cents a gal Ion in the aggregate, set one to wondering what this means to the operation of automobiles, to say nothing of divers other uses for which gasoline Is necessary. Up to July 1, 1912, according to reliable statistics, 859,968 automo biles were in operation in this coun try. The greater number of these were gasoline cars and nearly 32,000 of them large trucks, being extra heavy consumers. People wonder whether the popu larity of autos will ever cheapen their price, as has happened to the bicycle, but they are not wondering about the price of gasoline, whose production scarce keeps pace with increasing consumption. Like other natural resources limited in., quan tity, and not subject td the natural laws of supply and demand, oil prices seem to be governed' by a sys tem of regulation of their 'own. The more gasoline used the, larger the price the phenomenal multiplicity of the automobile only emphasizes that fact. . ; , :. , , .. . San Francisco and Iti Exposition. , San Francisco is cutting its cloth to fit the pattern of Us 1815 Panama-Pacific exposition. V Before launching out upon- the construction of buildings and the scopet of the fair, it has sent to different oountrles to find out how many would par ticipate and to Kvhat!extent. i;,lt pro poses to know,1 a ae$rly ad ft 18 pos sible, just 'how.- many buildings to erect and. how; large to make them, Other expositions, of course, have taken similar precautions, but some have aot .. governed themselves strictly' "according to the' dataJ ob UineoV 9m. i Saaotoeo surely,, will, for it is determined to make a com plete success of this exposition. . , . Fortunately the city's: messengers return with; glowinf reports .and promises' of unlvefsal' co-operatlonMt Is entirely fitting that all world pow ers should participate in' this expo sition, celebrating" " an event of transcendant world importance. It would, in fact, be most untimely nbt to hold such an exposition to com memorate the opening of the Panama canal, the great international t sea highway which will cut a short path from Occident to orient and revolu tionize the commerce' of the con tlnents. And the most appropriate place for such an exposition is the metropolis of the pacific coast. "Tne Strangling of Pehia.' It it a' remarkable coincidence that with the appearance of W. Mor gan Shuster's book on "The Stran gling of Persia," London newspapers should be filled with reports of Eng land's and Russia's consummated plan to do the strangling. Accord ing to the British press, representa tives of the two governments in con ference with King George lately com pleted' - all the preliminaries for finally snuffing out the life of this indent empire and) it partition be tween the British lion and the Rus sian bear. -'.' This, then, Is the sequence of the Anglo-Russian agreement of 1907. by which these two great powers pledged themselves to the integrity of little Persia as a nation. The Lon don Chronicle calls it "a shameful and shameless violation of solemn pledges." Other English and Rus sian papers denounce the perfidy. But outside observers who have fol lowed events culminating in Shuster's expulsion from Persia after It bad been divided and distributed, the northern half to England and the southern to Russia, will not be sur prised at the crisis now. Few took the 1907 convention seriously or were unprepared for the outrageous con duct of the two great powers, which Shuster : calls "The Strangling of Persia." -l .,.' According to diplomatic opinion, the crux of the whole situation b not to be found In Persian inde pendence, but rather in England's constant fear of war with Germany. This alliance with Russia, It is con tended, is to guarantee British su- Foreign Missions and New China. A recent description of the life of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, founder of the new Chinese republic, shows that he be came a member of an American mis sionary's household , when a . very small boy, remaining there through the years of his early training and education. Later he studied in American schools. Now his own children are being educated In the United States, How much of this missionary's training and influence was wrought into the fabric of this new republic no one can tell, but neither .would one care to deny that Sun got his Inspiration for a new China from his American friend's ideals. The for elgn missionary has wielded , a mighty power for the advancement of modern civilization In the far east and if his influence came to a climax In the upheaval which con verted the oldest of monarchies into the newest of republics, then the part played by the American mis sionaries, whose ward and pupil blazed the path of progress for his people, must be given large recogni tion. It is a work of destiny to translate religion into the terms o.f human needs as manifestly is done in these lands, darkened by cen turies of superstition and Ignorance. Tendencies in Education. Giving his judgment as to what characteristics will stamp the great school of the future, Dr. Thomas Etockham Baker, head of the famous Tome school for boys, lays down these five propositions: It will lay greater stress on Intel lectual results. It will allow larger freedom to the individuality of boys. It will reduce distractions. ; It will have fewer holidays. ' It Will have greater regard for the per sonality of teachers. We doubt If anyone; will -be dis posed to enter, serious, objection to these suggestions, although they may be taken , subject to " inpdif ica tloft. As a matter of fact they-seem to run counter In several respects to existing tendencies. ;. . v Instead of laying , stress on.lntelr lectual results, we seem, to be loadf lng down, our ! i schools with' new studies, and multiplying the; routine as to leave little room fir intellectual exerdsM. . T.vo?l';'j'.'V. , P Instead of giving the1 individualitt of the pupil more freedom, we seem to, be taking over Into the schools a constantly larger area of discipline and to be : making" : the ' schodjs agencies for regulating the t child's food, clothing, exercise, amusements and general activities. i; ,.v, Instead : of . reducing ,: distractions front school work, we ,seem ' f e increasing the number and helping the youngsters Invent new forms. Instead of' having fewer holidays. the list seems to be growing and the most trivial excuse accepted for sus pension of school, work. , ' Perhaps we are exhibiting greater regard for personality in teachers, but we are having' no" less difficulty lnsecuring teachers, who have per sonality to impart, and keeping them at teaching as thelr life work. The . greatest defects in our 'edu cational' system have been and are lack -of a definite goal to aim, at and need of steady, continuous and effi cient guidance along the road that leads to it, t ' j '''' n';,":y; vanced, back of which, however, lies another reason, namely, that almost nothing is being done here to en courage American shipping as an in dustry as Is done' in other-'competitive countries. This is one of the problems congress should take up at its next session. TJncle Sam and Good Eoads. ' The cost of hauling farm. products to the market ' and market supplies to th.e farm ,ln, this.conatry js esti mated at $400,009,000. annual?.- It Is agreed that that is much too high and should " be lessened, by improved means of transportation. One wa is Jy better; roads good roads,' 'to ueethe popular term.' ... It has .been contended that, if good roads ex toted the 'country over, this S 400,- 000,000 could be cut in -half, since much of It Is pure waste, anyway. . It' has been suggested that the money accumulated for available use In the newly organized postal savings banks $25,000,000 to date might be profitably diverted as a loan into a good - roade fund. The govern ment's right to engage in such an enterprise Is being Justified under the constitutional provision enabling it to build and maintain post roads. Its active co-operation with the' states Is certainly needed and no need is more generally recognized than that of good roads. Building Our Own Ships. . Americans will never reap the full advantage of the Panama canal until they revive the industry of deep-sea shipping. We must by,, some means re-establish our own merchant marine. That is taken by many to mean that we must build our own ships and train up a. new, race of American sailors to man them. This leads Us now face to face with the proposition of some sort of protec tion for this industry while; It is being re-established. What are our people going to do about it? , , The Panama canal bill passed with a rider granting admission to the canal free to American registry of foreign built vessels, but this, it is said, thus far has not inspired Amer icans to' Invest In European ships. The old excuse of Incomparably high wages to American sailors 1 ad- A Perverted Picture. An article contributed to the cur rent Atlantic entitled "The Passing of the Farmer" presents such a per verted picture of the farmer's wife that it calls for protest and contra diction. It' is explained that the writer,; Roy Hinman Holmes, . is a member of the department of rhet oric in the University of Michigan, and it is self-evident that he knows more about rhetoric than he does about the farmer. 'A mere recital of his distorted statements exposes their inexcusable .exaggeration, for these are some of the things he7 says: Without doubt the most pathetic figure in the situation is that of the farmer's wife. In the former days, surrounded by her daughters and the neighboring cousins and nieces, she was Queen of the country civilization. With the breaking up of the old group and formation of new ties, and the Inevitable rush of the girls to town, her life , has suffered . a melancholy change. The 'granddaughter of yesterday's' queen Is 'becoming- the drudge ,'of' today. A 'generation ago the wife arid mother compared her lot with that of her pioneer - grandmother, . and felt that she had much to. be grateful for. Today . these ... farm women " find themselves In,' a new .civilization, but not of It Their houses go neglected ' that they may work jn.fthe. fields , Wives, of wealthy farmers in this, our country, while at , their, work ( often resemble In their appearance thai' ignorant, poverty strlcjceiy peasant; women of Europe. In the hearts of .these toll-worn women love for farm, life Is turning to bitter ness,, and the daughters are electing new things..' -. . . t-' . : If this picture .of, the farmer's wife applies anywhere In this broad land, which we greatly doubt,"it cer tainly does ; not- apply ' anywhere in the middle west. The lot of the farmer's wife is stiju'' doubtless, ,far from being fT ? continuous round of joy and pleasure, but by comparison"' the'- advancement of women on the farm" has outrun that of women In tfieckies jtfot .only has the labor-devolving upon the housewife been reduced in amount, but it has also b'eeri moderated in kind.. The farmer's wife in the west has her work lightened - by j ail ; the modern utensils and ..mechanisms that have been devised tor; that pur pose. Her home affords all the ma terial comforts enjoyed by her city sister, and often more, i With the telephone, the automobile and daily mall dellveryby comparison she has advantages of equability, ..medica) at tention, church activity, - accesi to markets, improved schooling for ;the children, and better ; food ;an, ,f?ipth lng; that her grandmother j ;aeVer dreamed of. We do not believe that the ;fkrmers wife ia these 'parts Is bemoaning : Tier condition; 'Or 'casing for commiseration, or that the blamai for any decadence of farming as an occupation is to be charged' against her.
