WEAKNESS OF OUUR SCHOOLS.
Following sentiments of Mayor . Gaynor, of New York, are
worthy of consideration.
"The largest percentage of children in our schools are just
"We try to teach them too manoses above water, struggling to
breathe. , '.''!'
"They have more than they can do.
"We try to teach the mtoo many things, and the result is they
leave the common school with a superficial knowledge of many
things, and an accurate knowledge of none.
"This was my own experience in the common schools.
; "There are a lot of frills and refinements now taught in our
schools that ought to be dropped.- '
"If there is any one who has ever learned French or German
in these schools,-even to read and understand it, I wish they
would come into my office and talk with me.
"Either a boy or a girl who has accomplished this certainly
would be a curiosity.
"The1 teaching of languages does not help our children become
better citizens.
"It does not impress on them the necessity of work.
"And there is a shortage of workers all over the country.
"Children born here and who attend our schools won't work
with their hands, unless they have to, and then they don't like it.
"And I am convinced that a great system of education that
produces such a result is generally a failure, and the sjtems in
our larger cities are very generally producing just that result.
"We are teaching unnecessary things.
"Probably this is so because those interested in education are
zealous in their work, constantly adding to that which they think
our children should learn.
"It's a hobby with them ; they keep enlarging and enlarging
the studies of the common schools.
"For this reason I think those engaged in any one line of work
should consult with those in other lines to get a broader view of
their own. work before going too far.
"Teachers and those in charge of our schools are apt to get
narrow, just as those in any other work, unless they are guided
somewhat by outside influences." , . ,
o
' What are the 'business chances for 1912? Will the little
squeeze that has been on for the past few months grow tighter?
Will this section of the country suffer from the depression ?
That is the question uppermost in the minds of all thinking men
who have any business at stake. Locally this part of Oregon is
very favorably situated, and we do not believe will feel the clos
er conditions that are liable to prevail in the Eastern states, and
even in some parts of the West. Many of the over-boomed cities
of the West will suffer far more than Salem, where conditions
have been normal. The year of a presidential election always
goes a little slow Wages will notbe advancing in any line. Strikes
for higher wages will not be as successful as in the past. The
margins of profits in business will continue good, and the volume
of business in this part of the country will be larger for 1912
than for 1911 by from ten to twenty-five per cent. This is the
opinion of a number of conservative business men this writer has
talked with.

COURSE OF WAR IN ITALY.
The real reasons and motives back of Italy's desire to annex
Tripoli and Cyrenaica, the two Turkish provinces lying on the
north coast of Africa, and immediately to, the south of Italy,
were not made fully public at the time the actual occupation of
the territory took place.
In a general way they may be summed up as follows :
1st Italy's desire-to start a system of colonial expansion
similar to that of the other great European nations.
2d The necessity of Italy's finding some outlet for its excess
population, where it could still have control over its millions of
emigrants after they had left their native shores.
3d The desirability of having a place for the investment of
Italian capital where it would still be under the protection and
fostering influence of the Italian government.
The first of these motives was one of long standing in Italy.
When Italy, in 1861, finally succeeded in becoming a United
Kingdom, after a bitter and disheartening struggle of fifty
years, it was at once seized with a great desire to rank with the
other great, but older, nations of Europe.
This led to the formation of the Triple Alliance with Germany
and Austria, which ever since has necessitated the maintenance
ct one of the largest armies and navies of Europe, and also the
desire to emulate those other European countries in a system of
colonial expansion.
Italy at first had ardent hopes of securing from the European
powers permission to assume a military protectorate over Tunis
which 13 almost in sight of Sicily, and, therefore, most accessible
and convenient for colonial development.
France, however, was able to step in take over Tunis, and Italy
was forced to be content with an effort to establish a colony
in Eritrea, lying along the Red Sea and adjacent to Abyssinia.
The colony of Eritrea, however, although still under the do
minion of Italy, has never been a success.
The native tribes were only subdued after heavy Italian loss
es and the colony failed to reply in a commercial and industrial
way for the lives and money which Italy spent in acquiring it.
As a consequence Italy was forced to look elsewhere for a colony.

San Francisco, Dec. 28. Speaking
In a strained, babyish tone, Mrs. Otto
C. Joslen, who testified yesterday in
behalf of her husband, on trial before
Judge Lawler, charged with betrayal
upon complaint of Ethel Williams, 17
year-old candy girl, adhered to the
main points of her story when cross-
examination was resumed today by
Attorney F. J. Murphy, for the prose
cutlon.
. Her testimony given on direct ex
amlnation of the meeting with Dr.
Joselen and Ethel Williams one night
in August, 1910, as they emerged from
the St. Francis grill, was gone over
and not materially shaken.
"Was this the first time anything of
the sort had happened to mar the hap
piness of your married life?" asked
Murphy?
"Until this young woman appeared,'
replied the witness, "my married life
was more sweet than bitter."
Mrs. Joselen spoke of the quarrel
that night at the Joselen home, which,
she declared ended with her husband
promising never to meet Ethel Wil
liams again. The witness declared
that she did not know re ations had
been resumed until the arrest of Dr,
Joselen on the girl's complaint. She
was then questioned regarding the
telephone call which she has testified
to having made the day of the encoun
ter, to Mrs. Williams, mother of the
complaining witness, and which, she
declared, was met with laughter and
indifference by the mother.
"You were very Indignant, were you
not?" asked Murphy.
The witness assented.
"But you did not call on her and en
deavor to have her daughter stop go
ing with your husband?" asked the
prosecutor.
Mrs. Joslen hesitated a moment and
admitted that she had not, because
she "believed it would be futile."
