W. C. MARSH Current Kvents in School. Local school authorities will have an excellent opportunity during the coming year to make vital connection between some studies in the curriculum and daily events of importance. There is scarcely a phlie of life anywhere that is not effected by the European war. Future historians will write all the events of the past hun dred years or more in their relation to the present conflict. The teachers of the pres ent could. Iy a little extra effort, present the leading facts regarding the war and the causes leading up to it in such a way that the student would, when peace is declared, have a thorough understanding of the political and economic results of the war. The study of history obviously offers the host opportunity to introduce the events of the war into the schools, but there are also other Soldi that are highly important. The economic and sociological aspects offer Every person in the communitv should an ilmotl endless number and variety of e it a point to give the fullest support questions for discussion.

Discussions of the war in the schools should, of course, not be -partisan. They need not be limited to the school authori ties. Business and professional men of the community would doubtless be glad to pre pare talks on the various phases of the con flict. Some of the economic problems in- volved could be discussed by merchants and bankers. Questions of international law could well be handled by the lawyers. Some of the doctors could prepare excellent papers regarding the problems of sanitation and care of the wounded in military camps. Perhabs outside speakers could be secured to talk on some points of the military strat egy used by the contending armies. The students would doubtless find it in teresting and instructive to collect articles on the war and file them in proper order for future reference for the history depart ment of the local schools. Such a collection wonld be most valuable during the few years that it requires to get current events into the textbooks, and still later it would furnish a valuable body of materal to sup plement the textbooks. Persons in the commnnity who subscribe to the leading magazines and newspapers might be willing to give copies for this purpose. These are only a few suggestions re garding the opportunity and doubtless many other things of value could be worked out if the interested persons in the community would co-operate with the school authori ties in this regard.
