BILL NOW PLAYING the top. shows on the One of deaf to President Wilsons powerful arguments would, I feel sure, be convinced by my Aunt Julia. She very pertinently asks why a league of nations was not established at the very dawn of history, and then there would have been no wars at all. She is lending the movement all the weight of her moral influence, and all the vigor of her tongue. If any further doubts or dissensions should arise, I hope the assembled statesmen may be persuaded to call my Aunt Juiia to their councils. Her voluble optimism admirably qualifies her to deal with the question. It will gratify President Wilson to know that whatever difficulties or disasters the League of Nations may have to encounter, he can always be assured of the active of my Aunt sympathy and Julia. From the time when the question was first bruited she has been enthusiastically in its favor. So much so that she lias declared throughout if we could only get a League of Nations she did not care wliat its conditions might be, or what nations came into it, or whether it would work or not. The main thing was to draw up some document, call it a League of Nations, and then defy any nation to go to war. I mention this to show how she has supported President Wilson.

Evidently, in England, popular education has much to answer for, if the author be not askew in his survey, but he would be an unpatriotic American who failed to see in the authors mirror some black reflections of American educational degeneracy. In England, we learn, the system is all wrong and teachers are paid less than scavengers and ragpickers. In the United States our myriad systems cannot all be right and we know to And the future? The alternatives our sorrow that able men and women are patriotism and internationalism, are leaving the profession of teachers substance and dream, says the author. because they are not paid as ewll as Patriotism, he declares, with the wismechanics. dom of years, does not sunder nations, The lucky chance that gave the but unites them.
