THE IXDlVlDUAIi ASD THE RIOT
Mora important than the action of
the authorities in .quelling race riots
Is the attitude ot the Individual in
preventing them.
The country is unquestionably con
fronted with a dangerous situation.
There is reason to believe that the
race riots in Chicago and Washington
are part of the deliberate plan to
promote trouble in this country.
Of course where rioting .does
. break out, the rioters of ' whatever
race or color should be handled with
impartial severity. The man who
takes part in mob activity is a men
ace to the public safety, whichever
side he represents.
Bnt much can be done to prevent
the spread of racial feeling if indi
viduals will preserve a fair attitude
of mind, and refrain in their homes
and in public from excited or excit
ing speech. Racial antipathy can
never be swept away, but it need not
degenerate into race riots.
It is possible for a man who him
self would abhor rioting or mob rule
to precipitate it by expressing vlo-
lent sentiments in the hearing of the
man who tends to be a disturber. It
is op to the better class of individ
uals of all races to hold in check
their own antipathies, to Inspire by
precept and example those less apt
to exercise self-control.
A light breeze will fan a small
bjaza Injo a consuming; fire.- A
chance word or reckless act may pre
cipitate a battle In which 'jives are
lost and property Is destroyed. That's
the way riots and lynchings start.

- TRAIN THE DOGS
There are few, things more annoy
ing than to have a dog run out and
bark and snap at you, whether you
are driving a car or walking. If jwu
ere walking, you are likely to get
a scare, to say the least, and It
driving you are likely to run over
the dog and then the owner ot the
animal gets "all het up."
- Some dogs will lie in the road un
til an automobile almost - touches
theui before they will move. Often
the owner' watches them do this, but
he says nothing never trios to
break the dog of the habit.
' Some dogs have as much sense as
their masters; possibly that is the
reason their masters never try to
teach 'them anything. Inasmuch as
this is a fact, dogs will always run
out and bark at you.

air OP ORPHANS
The true horror of the famine In
Syria," says a man returned after
six years of relief work, "has been
the moral breakdown. The horror
of having thousands of neglected
children growing up without homes
or education, the victims of a de
moralized environment, is awful to
contemplate. In the small area of
Syria for which I compiled statistics,
there are 349 villages, iwith 4,264
orphans and 9,688 children with only
one parent"
A group of lAmericans In charge
of local relief under the Red Cross
and the Near East committee hare
worked out a plan for rescuing these
children. It Is not a matter of get
ting them food alone, although that
Is the first great need. They must
also he trained and educated, pre
pared to assume the responsibilities
which will be theirs in a few years.
They are the nucleus of thenew na
tion growing up through the ruins
of the old. They will foe the farm
ers, mechanics, artisans,, laborers,
teachers, etc., of the future.
In order to, do this tremendous
work of training', a city of orphans
is being founded. The committee
ftlaas to bring these children togeth

The world contains a great many
people who are busy paying the fid

they have neglected opportunities and
now they are trying to redeem the
time. Some are Just plain fools and
they know It. Others' are too dense
to know they don't know and It's Im

pied Germany Taken Over Forty
Studies Offered.
Over In east control Frnnee there V
going on an American adventure In ed
ucation of which very little 1ms boon
said over here. A university hns been
established, w ith a college of agricul
ture and ten other colleges and a farm
school. Two months, ago It was an
Idea; toduy It has 8.000 enrolled stu
dents; more -than .1,000 attend the
school, while extension nctlvltles reach
hundreds of thousands of men In one
way or another. The university build
ing Is a former Americau hospital near
the town of Beaume, In the famous
vineyard district of Coto d'Or.
About the middle of March a host of
young American soldiers came sweep
ing Into the old hospital grounds from
all parts of the' expeditionary forces.
They had packs on their barks, guns
In their hands, gas masks and "tin"
hats at their sides. They put on over
alls, picked up hummers, saws. shov
els and picks, und made things 'ready
to go to school. They kept coming, so
that now the nnlverxlty occupies more

. Idea Makes a Hit
This was the work of the army edo
cation commission. In co-operutlon with
the department of agriculture end va
rious state colleges and universities.
The Idea made a hit with the soldiers
at once. Each week tens of thousands
of them are In rhiss or lecture moms
established throughout the anny. The
teaching staff from the borne colleges
found the men euger, to talk about
f ii ruling "bnck home." 'which was one
of the objects of the, experiment They
are satisfied by the Interest displayed
In the class and by the fact that more
than COO farmers' clubs have been or
ganized, with a membership of fully
20,000 soldiers. One day a flying
squadron of "city fellers" came over
to the university to "get some agrl
I'DlturNf dope." There was enjoyment
J of army-pleasantry at first but In the
t-iiii Nrerai oi me visitors conressea
themselves so Interested that they, too,
soon would be In the school. .
In many unlta of the expeditionary
forces farmer-soldiers hsve a chance
to go to agricultural schools which
maintain courses of six to twelve
weeks and give instruction tn several
fundamental studies. They are called
post and divisional schools. They are
usually under the general supervision
of representatives of the commission,
although the principals and teachers
are from the army. Tbey are held In
all sorts of places, wherever rooms and
equipment can be found. In Germany
abandoned agricultural schools In the
occupied territory have been taken
over. Even the land surrounding such
schools has been made use of for prac
tical work with crops, son and gar
dens. Sometimes live stock Is secured
for Judging, but usually the classes
are taken to near-by-farms for study
and observation of the live stock found
there, .
Forty Studies Offered.
Forty different studies are offered
the boys grouped In four general, de
portments animal husbandry, agron
omy, horticulture and forestry and
rural economics and sociology. In ad
dition supporting subjects are offered
at ether colleges of the university.
In the first account of this American
university te be received by the de
partment ef agriculture Prof. F. W.
Beckmaa ef Iowa State college says:
The immediate results of the educa
tional program ef the commission are
worth while, but farseemg men expect
even greater results ia the future.
Secretary Raket, in his address at the
university, said he believed that out of
the 'commission's work wooid come a
permanent educational policy for thro
'army, 'combining military training with
training for The vocations and for civil
life. Agriculturally the Immediate re
sults will be large, for the farmer-soldiers
'Of the 'expeditionary forces are
being stirred to a full realization of
their opportunities and flielr obliga
tions In the rural field. They are
thinking as they never thought before
about the 'rural tasks that await them
back home, and 'they are likely to re
turn better qualified to deal with them
and with a 'new spirit toward them."
