Presidential Vacations
I t is a good thing that the President is going
west for his summer vacation..
Vsually Presidents spend their summers infthe
East, evidently with the idea that they should be as
near as possible to the seat of government. There
is really no need of th a t A, President can be just
as much President in the Middle West or F a r West
or South as he can in Washington.
, \
Communication is easy, transportation is swift
and dependable. The executive can always know
what is going on in the world, no m atter where he
is. He can get to Washington, from the most re­
mote corner of the United States, as quickly as early
Presidents could get there from their homes in ad­
jacent states.
But it is well for a President to get away from
Washington on general principles, and stay away
as long as his conscience will let him. For W ash­
ington is not America and its atmosphere, in the
long run, is not conductive to a good understanding
of America.
v
The chief executive, of all Americans, need most
to get around the country and rub elbows and ex­
change opinions with citizens of many sections, in
their own environment. That gives him a better line
on the country.^ It is good, too, for the private
citizens themselves.
It does any section and, any citizen good to
see the head of this great nation—gives them a new
thrill of nationality—and they sbPuM »U have their
chance with the President, as he has his chance
with them. Spread presidential vacations around
the country, by all means.

in Teaching
i*
By making things and looking up points that
arise naturally and by following prqjectfj tp their
conclusion, the children are supjxised to develop
their mental powers and character bplter M«an by
studying textbooks or pursuing stated lines of study.
I ndoubtedly the project or “ activities m ethod’’
is very go«xi if it can be carried out under ideal con­
ditions. Obviously it requires a teacher of unusual
ability and special gifts of leadership. It is better
adapted, too, to teaching children in small groups
than in the large groups that our growing popula­
tion makes necessary in most of our cities.
Somehow, no doubt, the best features of thb new
sj^stem must be combined with the lx*st features of
class room work unless communities will cheerfully
spend the large sums of money that it would cost
to apply individualistic teaching to all our voung-

A Brave Fight
It Mas a gallant fight which came to the ending
by death in the case of Young Albert Frick whose
friends and associates tried for four and a half
days to save his life by artificial respiration.
*
The young ipan was a victim of an unusual form
of paralysis, and twq hy |wo, in fifteen-minute re­
lays, men from the plant in which he was employed
worked at the artificial reapiratipn by which the
doctors hoped to keep him alive'King enough for
nature to send jus own powers bfcck to their jobs.
The young man died, finally, but the labor was
not in vain. His last days were made sweet by the
preserving affection of his mates. These men have
the satisfaction of knowing th at they did their
best. And medical annals have record of life pro­
longed by artificial breathing.
It is in this latter fact that the doctors see the
greatest value in the publicity given the case. Had
this been a case of drowning or other accident to a
young jierson in good health, undoubtedly the hand­
made breathing would have saved his life. Innum­
erable are the casos of apparently drowned persons
who have been saved by this method. One hour
may not be enough. Throe or four hours all of which
have been hopeless, have sometimes ended in success
