Again and again the question at to the pro priety of reading: the Bible in the public school as part of the daily routine comet up for debate. Now, out in Washington, a group of earnest Christiana are making an attack on the provision of the Washington itate constitution -which for bids the reading of the Bible in the schools. Setting up the Declaration of Independence as their guide, holding that a "state constitution is Mr. Rock's excursion into Asia is to find chest nut Ires which will resist the blight that is de stroying tht American chestnut forests. These exploration trips are not as spectacular st those to the polar regions or other hidden pUeei, but measured by results they sre of the utmost importance. In addition to increasing the production of American farms they will year by yrar open new possibilities, bringing the aban doned New England farms, the worked out fields of the south Atlantic coast and othjjr areas now unused into the business of feeding the world. New Element in Education. Steadfastly hat The Dee, when discussing education, contended for a continuation of the cultural when the choice wat to be made between that and the merely vocational. Not because we do not believe in training for life, but for the very reason that we do believe that the end of all educational effort it to fit for life. Now comes a writer in the Atlantic Monthly, and for reason that may seem paradoxical, argues forcibly and effectively for the very thing for which this paper has so long held out. Not vocational-, but avocational education is what is needed; not training to fit the recipient for usefulness during his working hours, but to make him fit and useful in his hours of leisure. The writer referred to is not alone in the thought that the automatic machine is rapidly doing away with need'of manual skill 'or par ticular training on part of the operative. Econo mists have put forward that thought since the machine began to be improved. It is a part of scientific management, an inevitable result of evolutionary processes in production. So, in stead of the operative devoting his youth to the acquisition of skill in handling tools that his productive capacity may be brought to its highest level in the early thirties, and there be maintained" until he Is well into the sixties, it is now found that boys of 18 are able to turn out as much work as they will at any time, and that they begin to decline somewhere under 40. Thus the productive life of man is shortened a mere foot-hill to the heaven-crowned mountain of the covenant of the Declaration of lode- , introduction ef the machine, and hi. years of possible poverty and uselessness are pendence, which reaches from the earth to the throne of the Supreme Judge of the world, these good men propose to establish not only the privilege but the obligatory use of the Bible as part of the daily program of instruction In the piblie schools. If the statement that "all men are created free and equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights," is a covenant with God, then it carries with it the denial of the proposition laid down by those who cite it as their authority. That same covenant goes on: "Among which rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," with the further explana tion that "to secure these rights governments are instituted among men,' deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." One of the dearest rights maintained under out Constitu tion, a fundamental principle of human liberty, is freedom of conscience and the privilege of worshiping God after any manner selected by the individual. No form of religious worship is pre scribed, nor any proscribed, save such as are in decent or sacrilegious in their nature. Christian nations, of which the United States is a high type, pay humble and devout reverence to the Bible as the Word of God; but we have among out citizenship many differing sects and opinions, and these are not harmonious as to the interpretation of the Bible, and for this reason religious teaching is forbidden in the common schools of the country. The Bible may be read with propriety and without offense in any of the schools, although in Omaha it was once objected to by a sectarian, who could not subscribe to some of its doctrine. Therefore, that harmony might prevail, the reading of the book was dis- - continued. No man has any right to force his religious views on another. If the reading of the Bible is to be resumed, it should be under such condi tions as will not offend any. . Those who are try ing to enforce its teaching actually transcend its instructions by undertaking to compel its nse in schools.' When the Christians will more con-, scientiously practice their profession, and resume 'the religious training of their children in their own homes, any demand for such instruction in the common schools will vanish, because it will be unnecessary. ' Scouting, for Food. All the world has contributed to the great ness of American agriculture, and it is still being drawn upon for the progress of this science and industry. Reminder of the debt to even the most primitive farming areas found in the departure of J. F. Rock on a three-year trip through re . mem regions of southeastern Asia to seek use ful varieties of plants that may be brought back to the United States. Mr. Rock is an agricultural explorer of the sort that has been engaged in this work by the Federal Department of Agriculture for the last twenty-five years. Through such scouting trips innumerable improvements and many additions have been made in the crops grown on this con tinent Lands that seemed unsuitable for culti vation through excessive moisture, drouth or other handicap of climate or of soil have been made to blossom and produce through the dis covery and importation of plants from abroad. The late Prof. Budd of Iowa is one of the pioneers who introduced Russian fruits into America. - Others have made extended trips through the steppes of Siberia in search of hardy fruits and drouth-resistant forage plants, one result being the introduction of Turkestan al falfa. Before that time alfalfa had been brought to New York from Europe as early as 1791, to California from Chile in 1854, and to Texas from Mexico in the early part of. the last century. It was not until the more hardy specimens from Asia were discovered, however, that its cultiva tion became widely possible. The oases of the Sahara were explored for the best sorts of date palms, which were brought to California and bred until the very best of this fruit is produced there. The durum wheat in dustry in Nebraska, Kansas and the Dakotas was made possible by the expeditions to Russia which brought back plants with great resisting power to rust and drouth. Kaffir corn from India and Abyssinia has provided a forage crop new to America, and oats from Finland have given Alaska a reliable crop. In many cases the imported specimens are used for breeding purposes, and much work is being done by experts in agricultural colleges to develop by crossing varieties remarkable for their thrittiness or yield. Sometimes disease threatens to ruin a crop, as of rice, and by ob taining sturdier varieties from abroad the menace - is eliminated. , One of the objects of lengthened.' The machine also shortens the hours of labor, for it permits the production of all that can be consumed within a shorter space of time. Decreasing the hours of work increases the time for leisure, and, as the machine does not call for special preparation, merely the activity and agility of youth, education must be directed into the unexpected channel of train ing young men and young women in what to do for themselves in hours that otherwise would be idle. A cultural background musf be pro vided, if the race is not to fall into decay be cause of the lack of worthwhile social employ ment for individuals. Here is a new element in our theory as well as in the practice of education. Unwittingly, we have answered the group who have absorbed the German idea of specialization that produc tion may be enhanced, and through the unex pected agency of the machine have turned the tide into the , channel pursued by the British, who have trained for life by conceiving life to hold something beyond and above the material. The problem is for the educators. The Husking Bee It's Your Day Siari It Wiiha Laugh CONTENT.

The claim that the United States is the cheapest country in the world in which to live has a strange sound. Yet the Federal Reserve board not only announces this to be a fact but backs it up with figures. The point is that wages in America can be exchanged for more of the comforts of life than wages in any other land. V While in England the general level of whole sale prices is 100 per cent above those of the period before the world war, and in Germany 1,467 per cent, in the United States the increase stands 'how at only 41 per cent." Italy with 400 per cent advance, France : with 232 per cent, Sweden with 11, Denmark with 153, Japan with 96, India with 83, Australia with 69 and Canada with 76, all make a poorer showing. These, of course, are wholesale and not retail prices, but it may be accepted that the retail level, while , higher in all instances, is propor tionate in most of the countries. While a given article may cost more in, actual money in the United States tftan in Germany, the funds with which to pay for it are more easily obtained here than there. , ', . . :. The. material standard of living has for a long time .been higher in America than any where else in' the world. Unemployment is now sapping at its foundations, but confidence is unwavering in the-ability of the people to rise above their difficulties. Meanwhile, a thing well worth remembering is that wages are high or low in comparison'with what they will buy. In our land they may be exchanged for more of the necessaries and luxuries of life than is the case anyhere else under the sun. Man's Life and Art Jan Kubelik was on board a Dutch boat crossing the ' English channel. In the fog it collided with a freighter. .The great violinist's first act was to put a life-belt around the case containing his beloved violin. "A man can move for himself, a violin can not" be explained. Something more than this is embodied in the incident A man's life, his days of productive effort are numbered. "The , days of our years are three-score, years and ten," says the Prayer of Moses, "and rf by reason of strength they be four-score years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow, for we are soon cut off and fly away." But a violin outlives many men; the one Jan Kubelik loves sounded its first note three cen turies ago, and as it has gathered hoariness of age, it else has gained mellowness and richness of tone. He might not have lived to again evoke from it such ravishing notes as charm and delight the soul, but another might Soon he will be joined to a glorictis company of those who have given to the violin its right to. prece dence among musical instruments, but the great instrument itself will yet produce its melodious joys, perhaps not for such a master, but to the edification and pleasure of listeners yet unborn.

With the passing of the silk shirt era and the halcyon days of easy money, passed also the youth and swain who was wont to float in about twice a week, yawn and say, nonchalantly, "Gimme the works,' re gardless of expense. The beau who thought he couldn't call on his girl until he had been shaved and "trimmed" (word used advisedly), shampooed, marcelled, massaged, oiled and perfumed, manicured and shined, fojlowed by a two-bit tip to the porter for fanning him with a whisk broom, now shaves himself with a safety razor, brushes his own shoes and steps out with his lady love, unherald ed by the aroma of hair tonic At plain haircut every six weeks is his limit, a barber says. In the good old daze it was necessary for a barber to.be merely a tonsorial artist and to work at his trade. Now he must be an expert and convincing salesman, or his wares go begging. v Some shops have installed' phonographs with which they lull their victims into semi-insensibility while they slip them a few accessories. It may become even necessary for barbers to go io the extreme of reducing prices to the prewar scale, although this will probably be a last re sort It is conceded that the two-bit shave is be coming a "bit" passe, in a manner of speaking. a When a young man quits hiring a taxi and takes his girl home on the street car, they are engaged.
