(i. AVKLLS, iii (lie last Saturday Kvcning I'ost, proposes a neiv
world system of education. Instead of a multitude of school!
teachers, hie,' ilttle, good and had, lie would have one central school
faculty, composed of the best talent available. and through a com
mon system of text books, equipment, etc., would, by means of the
phonograph ami moving picture machine, simultaneously instruct the
youth of the world.
Of all of lie. ell s recent proposals this impresses us as being
the most interesting and most practicable. Not only would educa
tion be standardized, thus eliminating incalculable waste and duplica
tion, but where now the best school is the exception, under this sys
tem, the best school would be the rule.
yii: 'Wells proposes a world system. This seems rather n large
order, and difficult of application. Hut a national system, following
perhaps tbc accepted principles of international educators, would
undoubtedly mark a decided step toward that educational ideal,
which has been the dream of progressive educators for so maov
irs, and has seemed so impossible of attainment.
The introduction of the phonograph and moving picture machine
is particularly suggesl ivc, and one wonders why the idea has not
been seriously advanced before. In language instruction, for exam
ple, the phonograph would bring to every frontier outpost the same
accent mid inflection, that the most advanced college eniovs, while
in every brunch ol the arts and sciences the cinemetograph would
not only put Coyote Center on an equality with Hoston or .New York,
nit would inevitably provide the stimulus to the interest find 11111"--
netism of the young which the present, system of education so con
spicuously lacks.
As -Mr. Wells says the great handicap to educational betterment
today is the scarcity of good teachers. And he shows conclusively
that under the present system, any marked increase in the number
of good teachers is impossible. But this system would allow a com
paritively small corps of specially trained and carefully selected
teachers to provide the basis of national instruction, and with one
standardized series of text books, it would take a very incompetent
local instructor indeed, who wool; not be able t o secure nt lcnsf. tic
eptable results.
Tl ...III I. ..1.1.. 1 . 1 f r .. .
inn pi ooaiii.y uaiiy years ueiore Mr. Wells program is
adopted. The inherent dread of change, the dead hand of inertia, are
is potent in the teaching profession as anywhere else. Hut some
program very similar to what Mr. Wells suggests is bound to come.
or it means in the last analysis, merely applying accepted prineiplns
ot business cllicioiicy (o education.

It was Colonel Harvey who resurrected the Father of His Country
as the political lender of Twentieth Century politics and burped on
the antiquated string of American isolation. Xow the colonel him
self is approaching SI. .Tames 11s the evangel of tangling within the
web og Kuropcan statesmanship and if possible, effecting a solution
which will be agreeable to 'ncle Sam in his new role, as dictator of
Kuropcan destinies.
Of course, the entire performance i informal. There is no roc-;
ognitioii ol the League ol Nations, per sc, there is no dalliance with
a Kupcr.goveriiincnt, but nil this after all is beside tho point. Call it
formal or informal, the. fact remains, that the United States, six
months after the solemn referendum is demonstrating in a most em
phatic and dramatic maimer, that America is not and can not. be iso
lated, that what, concerns Kuropc, does concern America, and that till
this talk about flcorgc Washington was the silliest sort of fol-de-rol.
America is 11 world power, and miist take her part in world af
fairs. America is in Kuropc, and Kurope is in America, whether
cither like it or not. The school of Washiiigtoninn isolation, so elo
quent in the late campaign, is us dead as the lleidelburgus Homo, and
olonel Harvey is recent champion, is himself delivering the funeral
oration. '
"Wilson's League may live or die, the final settlement iii Europe
may be this or that, but this much is certain, the World is One, the
final iiel, ion will be joint action. Nothing will be done against the
wishes of the I'niled States, nothing will he finally accomplished,
without the participation of the I'nited States. The day when Amer
ica as a struggling colonial federation, could say let Kuropc go her
way and we go ours, has passed never to return. At least one of
the stage properties of the recent .campaign can now be laid on the
shell and forgotten.

If you arc at all interested in making money in oil, lake advantage of THIS opportunity,
wherein the element of chance is so simply inul reliably eliminated.
We Want Every Investor to Have the Fairest Deal Possible
Our syndicate has bona fide leases on oyer 5,0fltl acres of deeded prospective oil land in
the great Lance Creek vicinity, adjacent to Lusk, Wyo. Leases are in First .National Bank of
Lusk.
AVe want to sink a widl and liasen't the necessary money. You help lis get. it, find share
in tlie( immense profits that are assured for, just one good well. And if we should not ge.l a
gusher, you arc not going to be permitted to suffer loss. ' .
Here's the Reason: .
For every hundred dollars subscribed aud deposited witk our Trustees, one, one-kundred
dollar Liberty Komi is purchased by them and held in trust as security for your money. The
difference between the current market, value and the bonds' face value, and a year's, interest,
is to be devoted to organization and drilling expenses. At the end of a year, when it is
PROYK.N whether or not there is oil on our holdings, you shall, then, decide between accept
ing $lfl() worth of stock iii our company, or demanding your $100 bonds. If we ge.t oil, 'you '11
doubtless prefer the stock and its accompanying profits. If not, you'll have your government
bonds, intact. Isn't that about as fair anil .square an opportunity of participating in the great
wealth daily being earned by oil, without risking the usual percentage, of loss, as 'yon ever
beard of?
You Simply Cannot Lose! .
