(Copyright, 1922, by Edgar A. Guest) . AMERICA'S PROSPERITY AND FOREIGN TRADE CHILD TRAINING AT HOME "TIIK CHILD'S FIRST SCHOOL IS THE FAMILY" Frocbcl. Issued by the National Kingergarten Association,' 8 West 40th Street, New fork City. These articles ute appealing weekly in our columns. NATURE STUDY. jk MERICA'S industrial progress is inextricably linked with J her foreign trade and it is impossible f or the United States to achieve its prewar prosperity by a revival of do mestic business alone, Dr. Henry A E. Chandler, economist of the National Bank of Commerce in New York, says. Dr. Chandler takes issue with those who believe that, since foreign trade represents not more than 10 to 15 per cent of America's total commerce, the loss of a part of it would leave a . sufficient percentage of the whole to insure reasonable pros perity. In the January number of the bank's magazine, Com merce Monthly, he points out that economic investigation proves that "even during periods of depression, volume of national bus iness, after allowing for price changes, seldom departs from nor mal by more than 15 per cent, and often by smaller percent ages; and a seemingly small reduction in the percentage of gross business may have great significance when translated into terms cf net profits and thus into final buying capacity. In view of the decline in foreign buying capacity it has been suggested that we may have to reduce our output to conform much more nearly to domestic demand and thus in the future prevent the accumulation of surpluses similar to those that have po recently demoralized some of our principal markets,'.' he con tinues. "Undoubtedly such a reduction can be effected in part and indeed, to some extent, has already been done, but as a practical movement upon a large scale it is beset with great dif ficulties. . If, for example, we lose only 5 per cen, of our total national business through the reduction in our foreign trade it does not mean that each industry loses only o per cent. The relative im portation of foreign trade varies widely as between different in dustries; In some the proportion of foreign to total trade is in significant while in others it is as high as one-thfrd or nearly one-half. It is possible, therefore, that a reduction in foreign trade, amounting to no more than 5 per cent of our total trade, may so effectively cripple some of our basic industries as to wipe out all profits and even to bring heavy losses. ."Our domestic trade will, of course, continue to be of much the larger importance in our economic life, and even if inter national economic affairs shaldd remain in a highly unsettled condition we would, undoubtedly, make important substitutions and readjustments within our own territory that would contrib ute to the relief of our domestic business situation. Such read justments are in part already under way. Indeed it is not at all clear that the uncertainty as to the international situation is an unmixed evil. In forcing us to look more closely for possible re adjustments at home, consequently efficiency may, in the end, bring us some lasting benefits. "On the other hand we must not overlook the fact that re adjustments leading to increased efficiency may still leave in Important cases n productive capacity in excess of domestic de mands. Under these conditions individual producers cannot be expected to reduce their output simply because there exists an excess in the aggregate, at least not until they have been con vinced that they may not capture a larger proportion of the home trade than they have heretofore obtained. Those who are familiar with the history of the destructive competition among railroads and industrial plants that led to the formation of the pools, the trusts and other forms of combinations between 1870 and 1900 will not have difficulty in visualizing what would happen if individual producers should all start out to capture a larger share of a domestic trade that in the aggregate is insuf ficient for them all. "It is true that a radical amendment of our anti-trust acts might render possible price-controlling agreements that would lesson the destructive effects of competition. Such arrange ments, however, would still leave the problem of surplus pro ducts partly unsolved. Moreover, the problem of amending our present laws, with a view to maintaining a wholesome de gree of competition and preventing unreasonable price fixing without imposing upon business men great uncertainty as to wnat couia De legally done, is extraordinarily difficult. As a practical matter, therefore, unless we are to face the possibility of an industrial competition of nn intensity hitherto unknown that indeed may dissipate part of our productive energy-r-we must recover in the foreign field sufficient trade to carry off the output of our surplus productive capacity. lly Augusta M. Swan, When (he children bring up nature study material, remember always that the spirit Ih more important than the information. When we tell them of the birds, we do not think of ornithol ogy, we think of me children, and try to. expand their sympathies. It Is a good thing for the children to bYlng specimens, but let this be a means to an end, to correlate what a part is with what it does. "Why do dng howl at night?-' was u question which in its answer Involv ed a little of the life history oC the dog, with his wolf-like habits. His barking is an inherited trait, develop ed from the howling of the wolf at night. This is the call of the pack to koep them together, us wolves hunt by night nnd In packs. Our pet doss must bo comfortably housed at night to keep them from becoming public nuisances. A woodpecker cm the tree before the arrival of spring taught us that he, with various other birds, spent tho winter here because he. does not change his diet according to the sea son. All tho winter birds, chickadees. JuncnH, winter wrens and titmice iced on dormant insects, seeds and berries. Tho cardinal, as observed by one of our kindergartens Is net naturally a migrant, he prefers to nlny in one lo cality. Hy putting out corn, wo may Induce him to stay near our premises all winter, and finally make his home there In the mminier time, lly ridding us of flies nnd many garden pests, and by his singing nnd calls he will repay us for all our trouble and hospitality. What shall we do with the number less "pussy ,inplars" which lire daily brought to us? Watch how the poplar seeds travej, how they are fitted to go long distances from tho parent tree. Tho kingbird and cuckoo use these catkins for their nest building, and many of our earliest butterflies and Insects depend on the poplar pol len. So It Is with our pussy willows and alders, which wake when all else seems asleep. These "pussies," or willow flowers give the bees almost their earliest spring fenst. The pol len gives them bee-bread for their early brood, and they get their honey supply from the nectar which Is pro duced In little glands at the huso of ench nollen benring flower on the "pussv." We make furniture from the wood of the willow, and becauso It is light and tough when seasoned', it is used to make the wooden shoes worn In Europe. In our kindergarten we have n log cabin made of willow. Our spring flowers! The children are interested to know that these plants can bloom early even In the snow because of the long stored up supply of food in their bulbous roots. "They look like calla lilies," and she was inost interested when told there were many families among the flow ers, and that Jack In the Pulpit und the calla lily were really first cousins. The fascinating sycamore or button balls, brought to us so frequently, not only are the sycamore's seeds made to fly away on hairy parachutes, but they I are the favorite pieces for the nest biiilding of many birds Including the i Paltlniorn oriole. J "Io apple trees grow in the win ter?" Here is a chance to tell of the long rest, the sleeping and preparing for the spring awakening. Spring buds we nil notice, but what of the winter buds? The leaves and blossoms of the npple tree come from the win ter buds which are protected all win ter by little downy scales. We know tho great varnished winter buds of tho horse-chestnut, and perhaps the whito knobbed winter bnds of the dogwood, but there is no tree in our winter woods that will not show its buds to anyone who wishes to see thorn. A hornet's nest In one of our kin dergartens attracted quite n great deal of intention, and one of the children asked how the wasps made it. Like tho yellow-jackets, the whltP-faced Mark hornets build In trees. The nest Is of paper made of bits of wood which the wasps pull off with their Jnws from weather-worn boards. This wood Is reduced to a pulp by a sllava from the Wasp's mouth nnd Is laid on In littlo layers. A wasp uses her jaws and front feet for tools, and she joins a strip to tho edge of the paper anl pats it into shape. The cells inside open downward, nnd are cradles for the yoiimr wasps, not for storini honey. The babies hasg face clown, but are held fast hy a sticky sub stance nt the rear end of the body. Harely are these nests used more than one year. N'evef be afraid to say, "I don't know," not as a damper tn the child's Interest, but with the promise of going with him further into the realms of natnrerknowledge begins in wonder, and after all, is it not the unknown and the mysterious that bring forth our mort ardent Interest? A few years ago In a town In Penn sylvania the parents petitioned for 'i kindergarten, and the Hoard of Edu cation paid no attention to the request. A year later the Hoard voted to estab lish n kindergarten "hecanse they felt that the mothers would give them no peace until they did."
