It is indeed difficult to make an accurate appraisal of the status of common school education in the United States to day. On the one hand it is often asserted that ,the education that is given children today is immeasurably better than that which was available a half century ago. On the other hand there are many who assert that modem educational methods have lost themselves in a maze of technicalities, so that the pupil emerges with a narrow horizon and a poorly trained mind. . In the current issue of World's Work magazine, for in stance, a teacher calls for a simplification of the public school program. Experts in the field of education, she as serts, have learned teaching everywhere except in the class room. They know practically nothing of children from first-hand observation ; but attempt to study them through charts, curves, graphs, and tests. They pester teachers with questionnaires and extract profundities from the tabu lations thereof. Then they write new text-books, put them into the schools and the hapless child is the goat. There may be ground for complaint in this respect. Fad dists and theorists do settle on the public school system very often so that one wonders, now and then, if the little red schoolhouse of the old days did not, after all, train its pupils just as well as they were trained today, if not better. On the heels of this, however, comes Dr. C. V. Good, pro fessor of education in the Teachers College of th University ..of Cincinnati, to point out the genuine advances that have been made in elementary education. "The chief qualifications of the schoolmaster of a hundred years ago," he points out, "were his ability to manage the big boys and rule the. school with an iron hand. Twp of. the favorite pedagogical terms of, the time were: 'Spare the rod and spoil the child', and 'A boy has a back; when you hit it, he understands'." y m . In addition, Dr. Good calls attention to the fact that much'' information contained in the old text-books was actually un true. Georgraphy and history, in particular, were so hand led as to give the child a faulty picture of the world in which it lived. Furthermore, no effort was made to enlist a child's interest, or to stir his curiosity. ; Undeniably, enormous advances have been made in these respects. In the light of Dr. Good's remarks it is impossible to deny that the modern school is leagues ahead of its predecessor.

Grown in Ui Grande Giants Complain Against Handy Reference Book By Gayle Talbot Jr. (Associated Press Sporta Writer) The New York Giants had a Just complaint today against the compiler of baseball's handy reference book. The volume in question Is a com pact, paper-backed affair that tells you at a glance what club is leading the race. And what Juts that to do with the Giants? Just this. Up to yester day afternoon they figured, on the face of things, to be just a half -game behind .the St. Louis Cardinals. It looked that way. Then they went out and took the Cincinnati Reds. 4 to 0, and the Cardinals obligingly lost to Brooklyn, 5 to 4. That put the McGraw clan out in front and pulled the Cards from the top of the National league for the first time this season. That Is, it did until the ready reckoner was con sulted. It shows that the league champs, though superficially half game behind, actual still are lead ing the league by four percentage points today. Hence the Giants' chagrin. Terry Hits Homer Although they fell short of their goal, the McGrawmen balned solace In the brilliant pitching of John Berley. recruit from Rochester, who set Cincinnati down with five scat tered hits and cinched himself a place as a starting pitcher. Bill Ter ry's homers with two on was the big noise in the Giant's attack. Tho Cards went down fighting. They rallied In the seventh and ninth innings to tie the count at 4-all, only to see their efforts wasted when the Robins nicked Bill Kallahan for the winning run in the last of the ninth. Babe Herman's single scored Fresco Thompson, who had walked, with the deciding run. Buzz Arlett. husky recruit from the coast, poled his eighth and ninth homers of the year aa the Phillies came from behind in the late innings to take their second straight from Pittsburgh. 11 to 1. A four-run rally off Wllloughby in the eighth decided tho issue. Four runs In the first Inning off Frankhouse and McAfee gave the Chicago Cubs a lead that was never overcome as they squared their scries at Boston, 7 to 5. Gabby Hartnctt hit a homer, double and two singles to lead the winner's assault, tirove Blanks Tlpcrs Not to be outdone by his side partner. George Earnshaw, who shut out Detroit with two hits the pre vious day. Lefty Grove allowed only three blows and gave the Tigers an other whitewashing. 3 to 0. It ran the Athletics' winning streak to 12. Homers by Foxx and Miller accounted for two of tho winners' runs off Uhlc. Tho Washington Senators made only three hits off Pat Caraway, but turned them into a 3 to 0 victory over tho Chicago White Sox. Spen cer's homer accounted for one score and a two-base error by Reynolds mado posaiblo the other. Sud Sam Jones held the Sox to six hits and was credited with his fourth vic tory. Urban Pickering's two homers did not prevent the Boston Red Sox los Ing an 8 to 4 decision to the St. Louis Browns. It marked .the Browns' eighth win of tho venr and was tho fourth credited to Walter Stewart. Rain caused postponement of the i ttiiKec-uicnau mi at Cleveland.

Inquiry Reveals Subsidiaries Of Holding Firm WASHINGTON. May 21 W) Music, radio, dye making, and coal mining were disclosed before the federal trade commission's power inquiry yesterday as avocations of the North American company, one of the coun try's largest public utility holding groups. A. E. Lund vail, commission ac countant, testified that Wired Radio. Inc.. a concern engaged in the devel opment of wired radio broadcnstlng, was one of the North American's .sub sidiaries. Two music houses, the Associated Music Publishers nnd Brett kopf Pub lications. Inc.. both incorporated in New York to buy or sell musical pro ductions also are subsidiaries. Lund vull said. In addition the holding company was said to control the Newport company, engaged In the manufac ture of dyes and chemicals, and the West Kentucky Coal company, which owns almost 100.000 acres of Ken tucky con! lands. Lundvall testified that when the ceil company was reorganised in 1020 it property and plant were "written up" from 9.700.783 to $21,333,967 on the coal company's books, but that this was not reflected on the books of the North American company. A link between the North American nnd Insult groups of utilities in the Middle West wns shown in Lundvall's testimony that each held approxi mately 40 per cent of the outstand ing common stock of the North Am erican Light and Power company. They acquired the property in 1026. The North American Light and Pow er's holdings in Illinois. Iowa. Mls- j sourl and Kansas were estimated at j $272,552,161. Health OOKKI) FOODS The discovery of fire was one of the great achievements of prehistoric man. Fire gave him mastery over beasts and over cold. Fire enabled him to mould his metals into useful tools and weapons. Fire also enabled man to predlgest his food. For cooking Is essentially predigestlon. outside of the stomach and intestines. Most foods are made more digest ible by cooking, nnd certain foods, as. for example, rice or potatoes, cannot be eaten raw. Cooking renders meat moro tender by softening and break ing tip the connective tissues. The cc-nstimtton of meats in particular Is changed nnd it flavors improved. Cook lng also sterilizes food and renders it safe for eating. Metchni koff considered cooking the greatest Military innovation ever introduced to protect man against infectiou. Most of the germs which affect man are easily destroyed by heat. Hence fire is truly a great purifier lif the cook -pot. There are manv advantages, therefore, to cooking. But also some slight disadvantages. The principal disadvantage In cook ing is the destruction of certain vitamines. There is also some slight Ioas of mineral salts and some of the nutritive elements of the food, but these disadvantages are Insignificant compared to the advantages. The destruction of vitamines by cooking may be overcome by regular ly Including fruits and vegetables in the diet. Vitamines A and C are particularly liable to destruction by heat. Vita min A may be readily supplied through butter, milk and cod-liver oil. Vitamin B is found in raw. canned or dried tomatoes, fresh raw cabbage, spinach and in lesser quan tities in milk. It has been well established that all safe diets must Include a certain quantt'y of raw foods. Raw vege tables and fruits will more than compensate for any slight disadvan tages that arise by cooking other foods.
