The Bible in the Schools.
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.

Comparatively Speaking.
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.

Barbers are complaining. 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

A. C. writes: "1. Is it true that

2. Is beef extract or lulce a

has few calories. Nevertheless It
is not the urine of cattle. If you
