FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1919 Ethics and Economics Pennsylvania enjoys the reputation of standing near the head of states whose politics are thoroughly bad. It is, then, somewhat surprising to have a Pennsylvania legislative committee report a bill favoring more teaching of ethics in the public schools, a sug- gestion that the state which holds the city of brotherly love and politi- cal corruption is seeking in a small way a remedy for her unhappy con- dition. The report holds this paragraph: "Recently an educational commis- sion from Great Britain visited the United States. At a meeting in Philadelphia, at which Provost Smith of the University of Pennsylvania presided, it was stated that American college diplomas were not accepted in England for postgraduate work, and on this account most 6f our grad- nates went to Germany to complete their studies. The chairman of the hi Lah Ga \ NN I WL \/ Winnetka Weekly Talk prepared for application. Italy has appreciated the fundamental fact that if she is to enter upon anything like equal terms with the other nations of the "big five" in the life of the continent she must provide better educational facilities for her child- ren and see to it that ignorant par- ents give their children every ad-| vantage provided. The Constitution Of The World The Constitution of the World, which has been prepared for sub- mission to the nations to compose the League of Nations furnishes a fair working basis for the organiza- tion of the world into a combination to maintain the peace and suggests that there may be consummated a union similar in its essential nature to the union effected by the Constitu- tion of the United States. It will be to the governments of the world what the federal constitution is to the governments of the states. That the newly formulated consti- | i tution is but a skeleton upon which to' hang the principles which will] develop as the league of Nations develops, is evident from its dispo- | ! sition to leave those questions which are the tender points with the sev-| eral nations to the later decision of | the commission itself. The size and | nature of armament of the several] states, the exact meaning of "free- | dom of the seas," the principles upon | which the international labor bureau | left shall be operated, these are pretty much to the future for de-. cision and formulation. ym ym v ALK CRIA Y FFBRUARY IBLYE ' ' our too ardent acceptance of the gos- pel of child self expression and swing a little back to that system of child culture which prepares for life out- side the charitable confines of home, we shall have to resort to some ar- tificial means of providing for the lack which they have suffered. And military training is a very good | means. Seattie And Its Lesson Seattle has faded from the page but the lesson that has been taught, the warning that has been given, should not be allowed to pass from the minds of the people of the United States. Seattle came out of her labor trouble whole, not because there were not the elements of success in the or- ganization of the strike, but because there happened to be in the mayor's office a man who had the courage and the clear vision to deal with the situation in the right way. And be- hind him was the steady gncd sense of the majority of the citizens, op- posed to any such demonstration of the new theory that owners of in- dustrial plants should be trampled upon and the powers of government taken over by labor unions. The country at large owes a debt to Mayor Hanson of front of gratitude Seattle, and can best show that gra- titude by keeping in mind the lesson thoughful which he has given to people. ANNOUNCE RECEPTION FOR REV. J. L. WALKER Parked Too Near Fire Plug Frank C. Wymend, 28 years old, a discharged army officer, 800 Walden road, Hubbard Woods, was found guilty of parking too near to a fire plug a 811 Davis street, Evanston, this week. The boy has a hair-trigger will; jumps at conclusions; short-circuits directly from idea to action.

And, since the im-| British commission explained that in England the teaching of ethics and! the teaching of economics were com- bined, which is not done in the American system of education." The popularity of German universi- ties, even though they do not re- quire work in ethics, has waned, at least for the near future. Are our graduate students not to be permitted | to enter English universities in the future because of their lack of train- ing in ethics, or shall we include the combination of ethics and economics in our college work in the future? There is little danger that we shall become too highly trained in moral philosophy and it is certainly not complimentary to be considered in-| eligible to Oxford and because of such lack. The teaching of ethics to our youth and the practice of a little higher brand by our adults would perhaps, hasten that millennial state which we are beginning to lose faith in as a result of the conference of the powers in Paris. Individual attention to ethics, both in preaching and in practice, will be beneficial to us, and to the people of other nations as well. Cambridge War and Public Education It 1s one of the unexpected develop- ments of the war that the cause of public education of children should have received and kept a new im- petus in almost every country in- volved in it. Perhaps it was seeing the flower of the young manhood depleted by war that has stimulated the appreciation of the governments of the European nations of the im- portance of raising the average of intelligence in the boys and girls who will be the parents of the future. Whatever it is, the fact remains that even in Italy, where with the excep- tion of Russia there has been the least concern for popular education, there has been a constant considera- tion of ways and means to imcrease the efficiency of the public educa- tional system. Throughout the period of the war the Italian government has kept ever before the proper authorities the question of carrying out such legis- lation as has already been secured to where, if not at home, thea in the provide and enforce school attead-! ance for children under ten.

This is a sad alas, only too obvious to be denied. | We have developed a strange con- | i dition in the up-bringing of our youth today. Never have childhood's rights | been more generally acknowledged. Never has so much work been done to secure for the children of the poor | the sort of clothing, food and living | conditions that ought to be supplied to the future citizens of a country. Never has there much eager discussion of the proper educational policies, so many organ- izations devoted to the study of the psychology of the child and the right principles of rearing children. This has been no idea such as that of our ancestors, our parents in some cases, that children should be seen and not heard. The child is listened to with deference today, no matter whom he interrupts or how little worth hear- ing what he has to say may be. great been so to be present.
