BACK TO THE SENSES

i cation in Argentina. Those who
fancy that the great Argentine re
public is backward ln educational
matters may disabuse their minds
by reading Mr. Nelson's paper.
"Secondary education includes the
studies, between the eighth grade
and the college. It covers the
around of the high school. Dr.
Eliot restates with extraordinary
power the case for sense training
during these years as well as in
i
m ia af AaAnk 1 1 M
the lower and collegiate grades.
He reminds us that the "fundamen
tal trades," such as those of the
blacksmith, wheelwright, painter
mad shoemaker, have been "an im
mensely valuable education for
the human race" and "have been
f ine cniei means oi raising nar-
i barpus peoples to approximate clvl
y'Usation." It is true today, he re
marks, that tne teaching or these
trades as handicrafts is "the best
mode of developing the powers of
a; backward people."
Of course they are just as valu
able, to develop the powers of a
backward child, or of any child.
Dr. Eliot makes the point that :
sense training has always been
part of the education of the chil
dren of the rich and noble. In
feudal times thd men oltained it
by practising war and hunting,, the

same thing is true today. Rich
young men educate their senses by j
t all sorts of exercu.e and sport
golf, yachting, polo, big game hunt-
ing, and women of the same class
enjoy a similar cultural advantage.
It Is only the children of the poor !

It is painful to read what some
persons have to say against sense
education, which is the only kind
that counts in life. They see no

tops before the advent of the auto,
but along comes the horseless vehicle
It ! and displaces not only the buggy
but th horse. Few equine propelled
carriages are now in existence, so the
Dubruiile shop went over to the ranks
of the auto top builders, and seven
men are kept busy in that work. Like
1 others, it entirely rebuilds automo-
' biles, makes new bodies for them.
1 constructs cushions, backs and seat
covers. While it has not entirely
abandoned -buggy and carriage top
making-, that work is but a fraction
THE AMERICAN FLAG
By Joseph Rodman Drake
WHEN Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air.
She tore the azure robe of night.
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies.
A.nd striped its pure celestial white
With streakings of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave unto his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly.
The sign of hope and triumph high, .
When speaks the signal trumpet ..tone,
And the long line comes gleaming on.
Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet.
Each soldier eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-born glories burn,
And, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance.
And when the cannon-mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And gory sabres rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on midnight's pall,
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And cowering foes shall shrink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the free heart's hope and home I
By angel hands to valor given.
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome.
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us?

27 Forest Rules for
NATIONAL KO RESTS NO. 4.
. Among the bits of friendly informa
tion contained in forest service foiders
is this:
"Ail national forests are public
property, maintained for the benefit of
the public. They are open to every
kind of use and occupancy wiilch does
not reduce their value to the vjommu-
nity or conflict with the p.inciple of
equal rights to all.
"The primary purpose is to provide
a self-renewing timber Buppiy ana a
regulated stream ;iuw. They support
home industries and prevent timber
monopoly. They also protect t::e --ane
against over-grazing, while assures '. o
local stockmen continued use of the
forage crop.
''Camping, hunting, fishing, trapping,
prospecting and mliiing in the forests
are free. Only for uses which convey
an exclusive benefit to individuals is
a charge made, and there are no re
strictions whatever upon mine. al de
velopment other than those imposed by
the general mining laws. Timber is
sold and grazing permitted on the
same terms to all. Do not hejUate to
ask the forest ranger for lnformitlon
about any kind of use in which you
are interested."
Here are six rules given by the serv
ice for observance by campers for the
prevention of fires:

MESSRS. ERANDE1S AND iUBLEE
From the Christian Science Monitor.
The appointment by the president of
Louis Dembitz Brandeis of Massa
chusetts to be associate justice of the
t'nited States supreme court, held up
in committee, ls still pending. The ap
pointment of George Rublee of New
Hampshire to be a member of the fed
eral trade commission was rejected by
the senate on Monday of last week.
On Wednesday, Senator Henry F. Hol
lis of New Hampsnlre, Democrat,
moved that the vote by which Mr.
Rublee was rejected be reconsidered,
and this motion is pending. These ap
pointments are of exceptional import
ance. We have it on his own author
ity, over his own signature, that Presi
dent Wilson did not send to the senate
the name f Mr. Brandeis until he had
investigated all the charges, direct and
implied, made against tne gentleman
in recent years, and found them to be
Unwarranted and untrue. We have
equally good authority for tbe state
ment that the president inquired into
the record of Mr. Rubles before ap
pointing him.
'it is a serious part of the duty of
the United States executive to satisfy
himscif beyond all reasonable doubt
as to the entire fitness of his ap
pointees. Tbe president is but human;
his responsibility, however, is so great
and iiis opportunities for carrying on
inquiries of this nature so extraordin
ary, that the character and the quali
fications of his appointees can hardly
lie questioned unless some evidence
not available t him has been uncov
ered between the time of appointment
in the proper committee or in the sen
ate itself. The senate has made it
a rule, and one seldom put aside, to
assume the president's information and
judgment on appointments to be cor
rect. Tn the case of Mr Brandeis, nothing
that-has been offered in the Judiciary
committee by his opponents can. it
seems, be accepted by the impartial
observer as affecting In tbe least bis
fitness for the supreme bench. Kvery

hearing by witnesses principally not
able for their head-shaking and for
their inability to voice their feelinRS
in admissible testimony, has been
shattered. In the last analysis there
is nothing left of the opposition to
Mr. Brandeis, so far as evidence goes,
save an apparently deep-seated preju
dice on the one hand and a vague im
pression on the other. The only thing
the former heads of the American Bar
association, who have protested against
confirmation of the nomination, have
to offer is, that they cannot, for some
of the industry. It is at this time
rebuilding two hearses for local un
dertakers, and a floor covered with
autos attests the fact that there is
something doing in that shop as well
as in others.
The ooncern is located at Second
and Taylor, and T. Torsen ls its
president and manager.

In the Hublee case, there is even !
less excuse than in the Brandeis mat- !
ter for the attitude of opposing or j
hesitating senators. While thousands i
of people familiar with the career and ,
record of the Boston attorney feel per
fectly confident that he would acquit :
himself creditably on the bench, he
never has been tested In the capacity
of iudci;. On the ol her hand Mr. Kiih -
lee had served satisfactorily for more
than a year as tederal trade commis
sioner when the senate, at the behest
of Senator Jacob If. Gallinger of New
Hampshire, Republican, rejected him.
Keiause of Senator iinlliriger's opposi
tion Mr. Hublee's appointment alone,
out of five nominated in February,
1S15, for places on the commission,
was refused confirmation. The sena
torial "courtesy" which demands that
a president will not make certain ap
pointments without approval of sena
tors, offensive as it long has been to
a large and respectable element of
the population, regardless of partisan
lines, dors not go so far as to pretend
to dictate appointments where the
president and the senator Interested
in patronage are of different parties.
1'nder the senatorial "courtesy" cus
tom, such as It Is, Senator Hollls,
I 'einocrat. and not Senator 'Jalllnger,
Republican, ls the member of the up

the president is expected to consult

vague and indefinite charges, as In
J the Krandcls case, are shown to be un-
worthy of adult attention.
The president, it is gratifying to
find, is insistent upon the confirma

entitled to courtesy. Moreover he ls
entitled to confidence. The senate,
with a vlew to preservation of public
respect and esteem, should refuse long
