I “ The Kindergarten Should Become Part |
ff of Every Public School System.” |
BTe R ! |
By P. P. CLAXTON, U. S. Commissioner of Education. |
1 : . |
e The kindergarten is a vital factor in American
|LR - education, both for its direct work with young chil-
S dren in the kindergarten and for its influence on the
j care of children in the home. The boys and girls of
% h;: today are to be the nation tomorrow. Very unwise,
e it seems to me, is the community that refuses to insure
& and guarantee its country for the future, by with-
A - holding from its children an educational advantage
//r/ to which they are clearly entitled and which would
| increase their value to the nation and to the world.
/ The kindergarten ought to become a part of the
public school system of every city, town and village in the country, and a
sufficient number of classes should be maintained to give every child the
pleasures and benefits of this training. :
The children of foreign origin especially should receive this prepara
tion for American citizenship.

“Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of
the Coming of the Lord.”
By WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, in Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
The next change in the Constitution may come in order to establish
a prohibition of child labor, and long hours for women and minors in,
industry. The Constitution must be amended to give congress full rights
over commerce and industry, instead of the limited rights congress now
enjoys. The Constitution must be made more flexible. A petition from
twenty states—through their legiglatures or through the initiative—
should place an amendment in the Constitution upon the ballot at any
biennium where a two-third majority of the popular vote or a two-thirds
of the states would establish the amendment. The right of the people
to vote upon a declaration of war except in case of physical invasion,
should be incorporated in the American Constitution. That will make
for international peace. For if America adopts that provision, it can
insist upon associating with no country in a league or a council or court
of nations, which does not give the people that right. Then the Presi
dent and his cabinet should be made responsible to congress ; if the politi
cal complexion of congress changes, it should affect the President’s status.
- These four amendments are as “wild” and as “visionary” as the four
just adopted were twenty years ago. But they are coming. The Constitu
tion is not the laws of the Medes and Persians. It/ is a living, growing
document. It is sacred only as the will of, the people is sacred. And the
more it is changed the nearer it will come to the will of the people.
But more than any other amendment that has been’ passed since the
Civil war this last amendment—the Susan B. Anthony amendment—has
the seeds of dynamic change in it. It has more than all the others recent~
ly adopted combined.
“Mine eyes have scen the glory of the coming of the Lord!”

“I Have Never Yet Met an American |l
Officer Who Wished to Be at War.” 1’
By NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War. “
»
_ |
When I hecame secretary of war about five years ago, I think I was
not less well informed than the average man in civil life about the army,
and yet when I think back to my state of mind at that time T am driven
to wonder how many people in the United States feel now as I felt then ;
how many have as little knowledge about the army and its impulses, its
performances and its real mission as I had at that time.
For instance, I had an idea that all army officers belonged to a class
which had as its chief purpose in life the bringing about of active military
operations, because they offered the only opportunity they could have for
the exercise of their talents. T .don’t think I ever did the army the injus
tice of feeling that men wanted to have a war so that they might get pro
motion, but I had the erroneous feeling that, after spending years in fitting
themselves to perform expertly a particular task, they would want to see
the machine work, and, therefore, that the military viewpoint was the
one we would expect the professional soldier to assume . . .
I have learned in the course of my five years of very intimate associa
tion with army officers the fallacy of these beliefs and opinions. Having as
sociated on most intimate terms with officers of the army, from the highest
nearly through the whole official list, I can say, and am happy to say. that
I have never yet met an American officer who either wished to be at war
or wanted war. 1 thipk all officers I have scen have believed that it was
the duty of the officer to be, in Stephen Decatur’s phrase, ready for any
duty which his country might summon him to perform, and that if we
were going to have any army at all it should be an efficient army and
an army in which the best of success was the measure of efficieney.

Greater Realization by Young America
of the Value of an Education.
By CHARLES MAXWELL Mc¢CONN, University of Illinois.
e
. The tremendous registration of this September in the state universi
- ties means a greater realization by voung America of the value of edu
cation.
The student army training corps, that wartime device of the war de
partment for enlisting men in college, deserves a great measure of the
eredit. Every young man in the United States had it brought home to
him that the government of this country thought a college education such
a fine thing that it would send him to college for a while. It was the
biggest advertisement for the colleges and universities that ever was.
Coupled with it was the broadening and stimulating effect on young
minds of the movement of vast hodies of young men into different parts
of this comntry and into other countries,
They realized that if they were to go out for bigger things they must
bave a bigger equipment, and so this unprecedented rush to the college
began. Tt i.m of the precious results of the war and one of the most
picturesque events in the history of human culture.

Police Kill One of Men in Battle in
Raid—Were Popular in Millionaire
Resort—Launch Ready ’
for Flight,
Algonae, Mich.—Six weeks ago a
charming, stylishly dressed young
woman, accompanied by three young
men, drew up in Algonac in a big
touring car and established them
selves in a bungalow cottage in the
midst of the millionaire summer col
ony. In a remarkably short time the
vivacious young woman and her party
had been “taken up” by the leaders
of the elite and their bungalow be
came the center of the social life of
the community.
Not only were they cultured, but
they seemed to have an inexhaustible
supply of money. They let it drop
that they were ofl promoters. The
young woman was introduced as Mrs.
Densmore, They entertained frequent-.
ly and elaborately. lln short, their
functions became the talk of the town.
Own Powerfui Motor Cars.
Their fast, powerful motor ecars and
farge accounts in the Algonac banks
were unnecessary guarantees of their
wealth. Often the group would be
gone over night on motor trips along
southern Michigan and northern Ohio,
but always they returned to Algonac.
A regatta scheduled for Labor day
was one of the events of the season.
Not to be outdone, the three young
men went to Chicago and returned
with a beautiful racing launch which
they named the Emma, for one of the
favorites of the colony. It was report
ed that this little investment alone set
the[fin back $ll,OOO, but they received
ample recompénse by winning the fea
ture event of the regatta—the ten-mile
handicap—which brought them a huge
silver loving cup.
It was while they were still cele
brating this event, the climax of their
social achievements, that the bubbie
burst. On a mysterious tip, the source
of which has not been divulged, the
police followed the three young men
to Toledo, Ohio, and swooped down
on their rendezvous. In the battle
“Cowboy” Hill was killed and the
other two young men, Archie Denni
son and Joseph Forest, were wounded.

purglars’ tools and a cracksman’s out

men and the young woman are part of
a gang which altogether has stolen
more than $300,000 from the banks ef
Ohio and Michigan in the last six
months, The money is said to have
been placed in Algonac banks,
Launch Ready for Fiight.
There is no evidence that the group
operated in the lake shore -district,
where they spent their wealth. The
police think they conducted their op*
erations while making trips in the fast
motor cars, and that the littie boat,
Emma, was’ tested in the regatta to
see if it could outrun other boats if if
was necessary to flee to Canada.

It was a carefully planned sham
battle, but was not without a casualty.
Carl Durnsush, a four-year-old boy,

The common way
of serving them is creamed or cooked
and served in a white sauce. We tire
of having any food served in the same
way time after time, so the following
recipes may be suggestive of different
ways of serving this wholesome vege
table:
Carrot Glace, With Cream.—Scrape
the carrots, cut in halves or quarters,
according to size, then cut in short
Dleces an inch and a quarter in length.
Cover with cold water and cook 13
minutes, then drain and rinse and add
boiling water; for each pint of water
add a half teaspoonful of salt, a table
spoonful of sugar and two tablespoon
fuls of butter; cook until the carrots
are tender and the water is reduced to
a sirup. Stir the carrots in this sirup
until well glazed, then add hot cream
to cover; let Simmer for a moment and
serve at once.
Cream of Carrot Soup.—Cook until
tender a pint of diced carrots, drain
and mash; put through a ricer. Scald
a quart of milk with a slice of onion
and a pinch of nutmeg; remove the
onion after 15 minutes, add the carrot
pulp, salt, sugar and a few dashes of
cayenne, Melt a tablespoonful of but
ter in a saucepan, add a tablespoonful
of flour and cook until smooth; add by
thinning with a little of the milk to the
hot soup. Cook until well blended,
stirring occasionally. Serve hot with
croutons.
Browned Carrots.—Take uniform
sized carrots, scrape and cut in halves.
Parboil for 15 minutes, then arrange
around a roast of mutton and baste
with the fat to brown. - Serve around
the roast when it 1S served on the
platter. ) :
There are many meat sauces and
soups which would lack in flavor if it
were not for carrot, even in small
quantities, which gives a most appetiz
