WAR PRICES FOR FOOD

(New York World.-) " The American people are paying war prices for food and for nearly everything el??. That is their contribution to the cost of the most devastating war known to history. They will continue to pay until the war has ended and the work of reconstruction Is well under -way. The economic results of this war cannot be localized. It Is impossible to take 40,000,000 men out of productive, industry without exacting tribute from the whole world. In the belligerent countries the inflation of food prices can be regulated by the military power of government. Germany long ago established a food dictatorship. Great Britain and France are now "Tollowing the German example. Even with complete and unchallenged command of the sea and all the markets of the world open to them, the British and French governments have been compelled to take over the regulation of food supplies and foci prices in the interest of military efficiency and national safety. With a short crop the United States is trying to feed half of the belligerents as well as many European neutrals. That makes high prices for farmers, huge -profits for speculators and the big middlemen, but it is a heavy burden upon the great mass of wage-earners and salaried employes. In spite of an unprecedented prosperity they have increasing difficulty in making both ends meet, and this is augmented by every tradesman whose greed has throttled his conscience. No remedy for this situation can be improvised by arfybody. This country is actually on a war basis so far as food is concerned, yet there are no means or agencies by which the question can be treated as a "war question. A movement in behalf of an embargo on food exports was started during the campaign and received much support from the pro-German elements that had previously advocated an embargo on munitions; but an embargo is a twoedged sword. Nobody can foresee 4he ultimate consequences of its use, and it is To be adopted only a3 a last desperate resort. Before the American people begin to talk about embargoes they must first exhaust all established methods of obtaining relief. There is city, state r.nd national machinery that can deal with trade extortions and conspiracies if that machinery is forced into use by the pressure of public opinion.' Every family has in itself a certain means of relief, one of which is to practise reasonable economy. We are the most extravagant and wasteful people in the world, and while extravagance and waste are not necessarily dangerous in time of plenty, they become a public menace in an economic crisis. As a nation we are flying too high and cannot indefinitely keep up the pace that we have set for ourselves. Economy may be irksome, but economy is imperative if price-inflation is to be checked. The American people cannot -it placidly by and wait for government- to provide an abundance of cheap food. They must help themselves -while government is helping them, and the first thing they must understand is that every country is directly or indirectly concerned in this war; Everybody is helping to pay for the lives that are wasted, for the property that is destroyed and for the productive industries that are smothered while the devastation goes on. We think -we are out of the war, but we, too, are in it, although we are not sending troops to the trenches. We are temporarily in much the same condition as the non-combatant population of the fighting nations, and must submit to many of the same hardships. Until we learn that, we shall not, make much progress in dealing with food supplies and food prices.

communities are installing it, and it already has entered into the Pittsburgh system. Japanese educational authorities who sent inspectors here are said to be considering its adoption in the Island empire with a view of relieving congested school conditions there. In England a London educational magazine recently urged that English schools be reconstructed after the war on the Gary plan. , Mr. Wirt's theory is making a schoolhouse take care of twice a3 many children as the traditional building does; the day, evening and Sunday use of the building; the addition of playground, gymnasium and" library facilities, and all at a price less than present educational costs is taking. Keeping the children offthe streets is the point that wins many enthusiast s. Cuttingdown public bills and eliminating over-crowded conditions by the duplex school plan appeals to business men, as does the system of vocational training, which is so admirably worked out in Germany. Others see much in the Gary plan of having the schoolhouse open all the time and a neighborhood social center a realization that the present school plan has failed to give the public its moneys worth. So, the addition to educational literature at Gary should mark a new epoch in that useful field of endeavor.

GARY'S FORTHCOMING CONTRIBUTION TO LITERATURE. William Wirt's announcement that there is soon to he issued at Gary- a series of books treating on the Gary school plan a regular encyclopedia of now ideas and the reformation of old ones is good news. The work should be a notable addition to educational literature. Busy heretofore in his education laboratory the Gary schools Mr. Wirt has had little time to write for publication. The opportunity is now offered. Under his direction several teachers and educational experts have already prepared material for volumes that will treat of the use of the auditorium, the playground, the wider use of the schoolhouse, industrial vocation and school economies. Several of the books will be from the. pen of Mr. Wirt himself. The Gary system is in the ascendancy. It is the schools that have reallymade the steel town famous. In New York city, 150,000 children and 3,500 teachers are now in Garyized schools, and the plan is being extended. The Gary plan is in force in many small towns. It has been recommended for Detroit; Newark is taking it up. Troy, Kansas City and many Minnesota
