SpeBkiog of tbe Gary plan of poblw
school work, wbiob is to te adopted
in tbe Portland sobaols tbie year,
L. R. Alderman, superintendent of
ohools la tbat city says: "Tbe new
(todies oooki'Jg, sewing, manual
training, music, drawing and organ
ized play nave oome in so raoently
tbat little adjustment baa been made
to mfet tbem. Borne people oall those
things fada; others oall tbem aseaa
tials. Ia my judgment tbey have
co ue to stay and are vitalizing aobool
work. Tbs onild ia a oreitura of ao
tivity; be has bands as well ai a bead.
Tbe idea should be to educate tbe
wbole obild, Tbe plan tbat ia to be
tried In a fen of tbe Portland eobools
tbia winter, modeled somewhat after
the Gory plan, ia to bave tbe pnpila
organized into two groups. While
one gronp ia in tbe regnlar olass room
tbe other group will te taking manual
training, oooking, sewing, diawing,
musio and organized play, also pen
manablp, spelling and reading, with
a apeolal teaoher in obarge of each
aabjaot. Instead of needing more
teaobers, nnder tbii plan we shall
need fewer. Eaoh teaaber, teaching,
aay, twenty-Bra pupils in a gronp,
will handle tbe regnlar aoademio
work of fifty pnpila. Thus, in a aobool
of seven hundred pupils, fourteen
teaohera can handle tbe regnlar
work." .

This nation Is now in the midst of
a controversy as to how best to pro
mote universal peace. That question
wo will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth. (
Many leading politicians and ofttlmes
political platforms have declared war
upon bustnesa and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
In high plftcos and hurled "gas bombs"
at Industry; tbrust bayonets into bus
iness enterprises and bombarded ag
riculture with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; Bent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
irto the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter of a century we
have fought many a duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should bo permitted to cry
out for universal peace until bla rec
ord baa been searched for exploslvea.
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should bo glvp-u a
clearance to Ball for the port 'of Unl
verml Pence. Let us by e.'u means
have peace, but peace, II'ne charity,
should begin at home.

On Railway Investment! , j
ton,, recently re-l
ferrlng to our rail
road problems,
aid in part:
"Tbey are Indis
pensable to our
whole economic'
life and railway se
curities are aUhe
very heart of most
investments, large
and small, publlo
and private, by in-1
dividuals and by
institutions.
There ia no other Interest ao. central
to tbe business welfare' et the country1
as this. No doubt, la the .light of the
new day, with Us new .understand
ings, the problem of the railroads will
also be met and dealt with in a spirit
of candor and justice."
When the first citizen of the land
stresses the Importance of understand
ing and dealing justly with the rail
roads, certainly the American plow
man can venture upon a careful study
of the problem.. C. E. Schaff, presi
dent of the M. K. & T. railway com
pany, when asked to outline tbe rela
tion of tbe publlo to railroads Invest
ments, said in part:
"It may be said tbat tbe railroad
world is encumbered with a lot of
phantoms which exlBt only in the pop
ular fancy. For Instance, because there
have been a few so-called 'railroad
magnates' whose names bave figured
prominently In finance, many people
have come, to believe that the railroads
of the country are largely owned by
a few rich men. As a matter of fact
nothing could be farther from ,the
truth. Out of tbe colossal sum of
twenty billion dollars of American rail
road securities, lesa than five per cent
is now, or ever has been, in tbe bands
of these men who have figured promi
nently in the newspaper headlines
while the other 95 per cent is In the
hands of oyer two million Investors,
large and small, who in many in
stances have put tbe modest savings
of a lifetime into these securities in
order that they might lay away a com
petency for old age. When, therefore,
the value of these securities is de
pressed or perchance destroyed, the
hardship is a hundredfold greater
upon thousands of every-day citizens
than upon the handful of millionaires,
good or bad, who have figured promi
nently In railroad circles.
Hundreds of millions of dollars of
the assets of our great life and fire
insurance companies, savings banks,
trust companies, educational and fidu
ciary institutions are Invested in rail
road bonds and the moment, there
fore, that the soundness of these bonds
is called into question the financial
solidity of these myriad institutions
directly affecting the welfare of mil
lions of policyholders and bank depos
itorsIs gravely menaced. During tbe
last several years many millions of dol
lars representing depreciated values
have been charged off the books of
concerns like those enumerated above.
American railroads have become a
vital part of the very woof and fa brio
of the nation. Their continued effi
ciency ia absolutely essential to tbe
smallest community in the land.
In blindly striking at tbe railroads
our blows fall not merely upon thou
sands who have committed no wrong,
but. In the last analysis, upon our
selves. We should remember how In
terdependent we have come to be in
this mighty republic of ours that each
is in truth become more and more his
brother's keeper, and that we noed to
act and think circumspectly, lest in
our mistaken zeal we destroy those
who, like ourselves, need whatever of
this world's goods the toll and sweat
of years has bequeathed to them."
