PUBLIC EDUCATION . -
. 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.

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.
