Around the world the school bells ring, galling the children to their books. It makes no difference in what part of the world they live, they learn in studying arithmetic that two and two make four. Likewise, whether in Germany, France, Poland or America, geography teaches that the world is round, and there is a general agreement on the location of the various continents and nations. Even though a country may have wonderful ranges of mountains, yet its children are told that the highest peak is in Asia. When the time comes for the history lesson, how ever, local pride steps in, and in each country the children learn a different lesson. It makes no differ ence whether they are in Italy, Bulgaria, Sweden or Japan, the children are taught to regard their own land as the center of the universe. If the highest mountains lie elsewhere, at least the greatest men lived, worked and died in the particular country where the lesson is being given. It is,just and proper that the people of a country should revere the memory of its greatest historic figures, and that they should take pride in the achievements of their forefathers. Yet appreciation should not be lacking for the part that is played in the world by the people of other lands. President Harding has taken an advanced stand in his letter to the president of Bowdoin college, in saying that the teaching of history should be changed to take a broader view that would consider the nations in their relation to one another, instead of considering them separately. There are countless ways in which the course of events in one country influences that in another. This is not by wars alone, but by the development of institutions, migrations, inventions and trade. The facts about one’s own land gain importance and meaning by comparing them with the facts about the world beyond the borders. Mr. Harding is quoted as indicating the belief that all the factors of the story of mankind, which form an essential unity, must be weighed and ap praised if any are accurately to be understood. His opinion that a broader view of history would help greatly in discouraging war is shared by many thoughtful men. Thus, James Harvey Robinson, in bis book, “The Mind in the Making,” advises that we study the past, review the history of the race and the evolution of the mind, and enddhvor to find out why we react in certain ways, where we obtained certain prejudices, and how to overcome them. Such a course would lay heavy requirements on the teaching profession. At most, the boys and girls ip schools could not much more than catch the reali zation that they were parts of a world system and heirs to all the past as well as integers in a modern nation. Not a great many adults have this broad view, and therein lies the cause of much international distrust and friction. ONE OUT OF MANY. Soon Willa Gather’s red-headed hero will be off to war. Those who are reading her novel, “One of Ours,” which is appearing serially in The Omaha 1 Bee, realize by this time that Claude was not par ticularly happy in Nebraska. Wishing to be of service in the world, he somehow was oppressed by a sense of frustration His combination of red-blooded in stincts and idealism was a difficult one. He did not profit much from his attendance at a denominational college near Lincoln. The author's discussion of this incident in Claude’s career quite naturally vienv the situation through the eyes of her character. A clergyman at Lincoln has risen with the quite effectual reply that many splendid lives of service found their training and inspiration in the halls of this same institution which to Claude seemed like a prison. Bishops, missionaries, pastors and social workers of ability and note came from these classrooms. It was no more the fault of the school than of the rugged farm boy that he was unhappy there. One cannot call him irreligious, for his was a tender, lofty soul. He simply did not fit in with this en vironment, against which he had been prejudiced by unfortunate experiences. The pity of it is that it required the shock of war to rescue him from stag nation. And the lesson is that Nebraska should he broad enough, many-sided enough, to offer ambi tious, idealistic or talented youth the opportunities for experience itnd development nnd triumph that now require a war or a far journey to achieve. THE PIE THAT BLOOMS IN THE SPRING An inspired poet will some day tune his lyre and the worlcWvill be given a deathless song, hymned to the praise of rhubarb pic. Tart harbinger of spring, the pie plant comes at a time when man's nerves are strained to breaking by winter. No mntter if it has been an open winter, mild and gentle in all its as pects, it yet is winter, and the effect is much the sartie. . Our physical as well as our spiritual nature yearns for a bit, of green, something to remind us that spring is not far behind. It is true that all the year lound service of tomatoes and lettuce and the like is made possible by modern market gardening. And, by the way, did you ever stop to think that there may he one factor in the H. C. of L. we hear so much about? Time was, in the dear old days, lamented so lugubriously by folks who ought to know better, when an occasional mess of cabbage or dried sweet corn was the only form of "green” fodder that reached the dining table, while dried apple pies and home-saved tomatoes from a tall, two-quart can pro vided the luxuries? NoWj thanks to modern transportation, we gel tomatoes and the like from m far awuy ns Porto Rico through the winter, and the movement is progressive until our own gardens begin to bring forth their yield. So, long before the frost is out of the ground in Nebraska, the southern fields are sending us pie plant, and we luxuriate in its gracious acidity, tem pered by copious application of sugar, anil while ye< lhe vernsl equinox is days ahead, we anticipate spring by enjoying its blessings out of season. Pie plant, homely and, virtuous, destined to be come a rough and rugged, dust covered blotch upon the early summer hack yard, in March thou are in deed and *>ery truth a boon. SAYING HOWDY TO A COW. "I never saw a purple cow,” a comic rhymester , wrote, but there are many children in New York City who never saw a roan one or any other kind. Doubtless some youngsters equally innocent of the source of milk could be found iri Omaha, where children now and then are heard to wonder where a horse carries its gas tank. People in the cities often lead lives as narrow as if they were in the most isolated communities. This is particularly the case in New York, where people come to feel that everything seeing or having is available without going more than a few blocks. Even so, the city editor of the New York World may have thought he was giving out a hard as signment when he told a reporter to go out and find a boy who had never seen a cow and then take him to Central park and show him' one recently presented to the city by the Dairymen's league. Only one boy of the many East Side gangs that he interviewed had seen a cow, and that was in the movies. Finally he took Lawrence Dunn, 9 years old, in, a taxi to the park. "So that’s a cow,” said Lawrence, evidently uncertain whether the milk came out of her horn or her tail. “On the right side,” said the keeper. “ I didn’t see anything there,” the boy replied. “Oh,” the man explained, “I mean that is where you sit. The milk department is right underneath.” He illustrated, and a fine white stream zipped past the boy’s head. “Gee, you could put out a fire with her,” Lawrence was more familiar with condensed milk, and asked where that came from. He inquired about the particular kind of cow that gave butter. If this incident has any value; it is to suggest that in the cities is growing up a generation un acquainted with nature and unfamiliar with the fundamental processes of food production. If one has never seen a cow, one is apt to conclude that even the farmer is a myth and that his problems have no real being so far a^ the world of the pave ments is concerned. In the west, where so many have a grandfather down on the farm, there is not this danger of life becoming entirely artificial. But for all that, there is scarcely a country lad who is as big a joke in the city as the average town boy would be on the •farm. DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE SHIELD. Two great figures stepped ([own their high places in service of the people when the Sixty-seventh con gress expired on Sunday, March 4. One of these was ohn Sharp Williams, senator from Mississippi, who went to Washington as a member of congress in 1892, and whose service in the senate began in 1911. | The other was Joseph Gurney Cannon, “daddy of | them all,” who for 50 years has represented an Illi nois district, with the single exception of the Fifty second congress, when some slip occurred and a demo crat, from Danville went to Washington for two : years. And how do these veterans feel, on leaving the greatest representative legislative body in the world? Several months ago, when he announced his in tention to retire, Mr. Wiliams said: “I'd rather be a dog and bay At the moon than serve another term in the United States senate as at present consti tuted.” On his wav home to Danville, Hr Cannon said: “This country is a hell of a success." There you have it, the difference between a dis appointed man an^l one whose 87 years leave him cheerful of mind and hopeful of outlook. “Uncle .Joe" declined to be interviewed or to get sentimental over his leaving public life. Nor was it necessary he should. He has ben honored in a fashion that falls to the lot of few men. In congress he was able to do much real service; as chief engineer of the famous steam roller, he kept the wheels turning and the machine on the track. The revolt against ‘ Can nonism," as it was called, was led by Norris <V Ne braska, who moved up to the senate, while under Champ Clark and William If. Gillett the old roller continues to revolve, although framed in a different mounting. Now “Uncle Joe" is going back to spend what further time he can borrows with the home folks. John Sharp Williams is an able man; he is re puted to be the ablest of the group he sat in the senate with, yet he will be remembered as the man who could make the galleries laugh, whose acid tongue bit into many a colleague's pride, and genial and wholesome a« he is in private life, could not adapt himself to the changing views of the world. The contrast between the two is as interesting as it is marked. The congress will proceed without p;ther, but it will be encouraged to go ahead because I of the trrse summing up of the venerable statesman from Illinois: “This country is a hell of a success." A little prewar stuff has ben ordered restored to its owner by an Omaha judge. Who will be a 1 popular guy for the next few days? Samuel Gompers, who has been dangerously ill, promises soon to he dangerously well again. “Put not your trust ;n bad prisoners,” might not be a bad motto for county jailors. Whether the French or Germans are becoming i tired of the Ruhr endurance contest, the rest of the world is losing interest in the game. The Turks are willing to talk it over again, which hould interest European hotel proprietors. Homespun Verse Hy Robert Worthinftton Davie WHEN GRANDMA COMES.

Nelson tiazette. The wisdom of the I'nited States entering the world court at this time may honestly be questioned. There are so many perplexing problems to be solved here at home that until we can find statesmen able to lead us out of the wilderness we would better refrain from taking on any additional responsibilities not absolutely neces sary to our nation's survival. iAt us set aright our own household first. Illooiningfon Advocate P. M. Crane: We believe that the I'nited States should keep out of the European muddle and allow the coun tries over there to work out their own difficulties. We performed our debt to humanlfy when we went across and settled the world war. Kearney Hub. M. A. Brown: It is not so,much a question as to whether the United States shall participate in European affairs as it is the extent of that participation. It seems proper and the time right to function in a world court functioning for conciliation, me diation, or even arbitration, a court with strictly a moral purpose, with no weapons of force or coercion. This position eliminates the league of na tions. America's best policy, aside from the above suggestion, is to sit tight, keep heeled and he ready with the strong hand either to help or to smite. Norfolk Press. Marie W<*ekes: The l ulled Slates should not enter the world court, a camouflaged name for the league of nations. If sueh entry is to mean that 1 Uncle .Sam is to put over our men and money back of the r.otting carcass of European diplomacy. We must keep our hands clean of the spoils that France and England would i like to make us party to. i The people of these far coun tries will kick over the tottering shamble? if left alone, if the govern- i merits of the world may be induced . to disarm, if autocrats and militar istic Imperialists may be made to dis gorge to the people they have preyed upon. If the brotherhood of man may tie really established, a world court or a league of nations will then he pos sible and Uncle Sam may safely join it As things are, let us keep clear of European entanglements. "Mag nificent Isolation" is a good slogan just now. Falls l ily Journal. Aaron Davidson: America can no longer avoid universal problems and can meet them only by sitting in council with other nations of tire world. For years the world has cried for a tribunal that will settle interna tional disputes and probably obviate wars. The court may fall in thts function, but it is worth a trial. Geneva .signal.

Readers of The Morning Bee art Invited to use this eolumn freely for expression on matters of pubHo Interest. Oppose* Bryan’* Code Law. York. Neb.—To the Editor of The ; Omaha. Bee: What has come to pass since last fall when we were told of the woeful faults of the code and promised the state should be put back under its old constitutional officers If We reformers were ejected? Then the chief complaint was that the administrative code law gave the governor too much chance to byild j up a political machine, after c Purging all the raise in taxes in the state to the code, yet we were told that far worse than the code was the McKel vleism built up by it. Now this new star of hope that shed : such a bright light of promise lias turned out# to lie a dark lantern— | all the light of hope was ahead—but now doth the darkness appear in real form. For we are not to have the form of state government we were •promised, but a Bryan council in place of the code. For under the code the governor could nominate a man. but the senate had a right to look him over and then say yes or no as to hi* fitness for the place. Under the Bryan reign he asks that he be allowed to i appoint who he pleases without any power of review by the senate. Now ■ < i« plain what was wrong with the code—it did not give pow- or chance enough for machine bu.ldlnv. But this Bryan council scheme would give him sevenfold more rope than the code bill. In observing the I movements and sayings of Mr. Bryan we have become just a little .■onfused or else he has. for in his first out line of what he wanted done he gave as a price or salary to be paid the ap pointees was $4,000 for on>- and $9..',00 apiece for two others. Then when the legislature tries to comply he sacs "no." Then the cry goes up. "play ing politics." He tell* the legislature he has a mandate from the people. Well, he has no more of a mandate for his council program than they have for theirs, but he says pass this only or else take the Maine for all that Is complained of later, and we ' admit he has the call on them, not In ' light or justice, hut for loopholes. If they give him what he asks and the people complain (which they will), he will say the legislature did it. and if they safeguard the people * rights to retain some control over who ferve* them, then he will say: If the legislature had done as I said all would have been well." and the same bun. h w ould believe him again; so the legislature iB In the samo fix as the kid whose teacher told him If he did not do so and so she would whip him. and h,» mother said she would whip him if he did So the kid «n!d I'll be d-—d If I do. and I'll be d—d if I don't, so I'll lie d—d if I know what to do." Then, so far as the promise he is" making of saving $9,000 O.iO. has no lore assurance of fulfillment than any other promise he has made.
