OUR DAWDLING SCHOOLS.
That the United States lias a;
shorter seined day. a shorter I
school week and a shorter school,
year than any other highly civ- j
ilized nation is pointed oul in a ;
bulletin of the Russell Sage j
Foundation. 1
The district school idea si ill ;
hangs over the great education-!
al system of the United Stales,
with its 10,000,000 pupils and ils
$500,000,000 of yearly expendi
ture. In the little Red School
House, birthplace of so much that
i.s good and great, hours were
short so that pupils might trav
el long distances and have time
to do the “chores.'’ The legal
school year was made, in most of
fhe rural stales, only twent-eight
weeks so that the big hoys might
have time to work in the fields.
Saturday was a holiday for the
same reason.
In cities where rural precedents
are meaningless the Saturday hol
iday is continued, an absurdly
•long summer vacation is allow
ed, and term vacations and hol
idays are generous. The result
of dawdling is either to put the
American student about two years
behind his German or French
confrere or lo leave disastrous
gaps in his preparation for life.
It is a strange thing that the
United States, which prides ilself
upon its efficiency and upon its
schools, should not have brought
the two close together.
DO THEY MEAN BUSINESS? j
If Ihe people of Ihe United j
States mean business in Ihe mat- j
ter of the parcel post they can
demonstrate Ihe fad very easily.
They can order Ihe repeal of
the grotesque law which compels
the use of a special stamp. Why
add an absolutely unnecessary re
striction to a service supposed to
promote public convenience?
They can order the repeal of
the absurd exception in the law
governing the parcel post against
books. Why exclude books from
an enterprise that includes but
ter, eggs and apples?

Now that (he navy is to warn

warnings. _
Will Joseph W. Bailey be re
membered' longest as a Texan of
a sonorous style of oratory or as
a statesman who had a fondness
for fist,-fights?
Dispatches would indicate that,
the Senate is about to open a

administration to fill.
The United States Steel Corpor

"How 'Rockefeller 'cornered

It i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product: brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
