of hearing of Gou and Lis teachings is helping to put the country on a pagan basis, and this probably is more of a factor than the showing that only 40.000.0u0 of America's 100.000,000 people do not attend church. The most Important point made by Sir. Van Dyke is that concerning the absence of God In the code of American instruction. It is a solution that nearly all churches are trying to work out.

CENTENARY OF IRON

IX AMERICA.

oepLemuer 10 is me centennial anniversary

iron ia tnis country. This date

of the rolling of th first

not without interest in tVi. ri.,

legion, which now closely edges Pittshurg for first place in iron and steel production. The first iron rolled was produced at Plumstock. Middletown, Pa., near Cennell.ville in Fayette county, by Col. Isaac Meason. " This pioneer produced bars of all sizes and hoops for cutting into nails. The iron was refined by blast and then puddled. From this little industry there has arisen the great business of iron 'and steel in America. While Pennsylvania was producing iron a century ago Indiana was not far behind and in the late '30s an iron furnace was glowing near the present city of South Bend. It got its iron ore from Indiana, too! -from the bogs of the Kankakee marshes, and early traders and settlers in this and other counties mined the bog ore and hauled it either overland or in boat to the furnace and there traded it for nails, hammers and other needful things. But Indiana's iron industry was dealt a death blow for the time being when railroads began to come in from the east. They were able to deliver iron from the Pittsburg mills at a much cheaper price than it could be so crudely fashioned in the wilderness of northern Indiana. Not un'il Indiana Harbor was founded in 1901 did Indiana again attract attention from the iron and steel world and a half decade later, when Gary began to spring up, this state was given its place in the sun as far as the metals trade is concerned. Since then the notable expansion of the industry and itp allied concerns at Gary, Joliet, Hammond, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Pullman, Hegewisch and South Chicago, all within a forty-mile radium, has been the most surprising thing in the trade's history. The centenary cf iron making, besides reminding Pennsylvania of her honor as a pioneer in this respect and recalling that her mills with their more advanced and economical a methods three-quarters of a century ago wiped out the budding iron industry in Indiana, also stands to remind the Keystone state that Indiana Is rapidly developing an iron and steel district that will soon exceed in productive capacity any similar area in all Penn's valley.

GARY SYSTEM AIDS NEW YORK. The New York boy goes back to school today. He will get more physical training than ever. The idea grows of giving him a sound, strong body within which to expand his mind. He will get military training, whethei he likes it or not. The boy's sister also goes back to school. She will share the benefits ol the physical training but not of the military drill. According to the scale oi annual increase, there should be today more than 800,000 New York boys and girls in that army. New York has always had more or less of a bother and something oi scandal over the question of finding school room enough for its everv boj and girl. It hopes to go a long way toward solving that problem this year. Before the year is over, it will have in operation in a hundred buildinjrr the Gary system, under which two sets of pupils will ge the benefit of each school plant within a school day of seven hours. This Gary plan has got into politics. People who do not like It are mak leg it an issue in the current campaign. The politics of it must not get into the schools. New York World.

RUSSIA'S NEED. What the Russian people need more than anything else is the schoolhouse thousands of them. The great bulk of rhe people are illiterate, and it is said of some in the country that their idea of a republic is that the word means some relation of the czar. And one time when villagers shouted "Long live constitution!" they were under the impression that they mere shouting for Constantine.

HUMAN AVARICE. Human avaric5 remains intransmutable; it is only limited by its opportunities. In Germany the exponents of avarice are known as Junkers; in America as speculators and price raisers. The same spirit that moves the junker of Prussia ie the same that is to be found in the coal, food or steel magnate who extorts blood profits, or the speculator, or the merchant or farmer who conspire to boost prices. They all are of the same ilk.

THE I. W. W. A BLUFF. We think the) Rochester Herald out in New York state has the I. V. W. sized up right when it terms it as a bluff, not a menace. There is no con-

nection between the vast body of workers in the west and this organiza

tion. As a noisy proposition the I. W. W. is a wonderful fuccess.

"AN editor's knowledge is admittedly superficial and probably this is the reason why one engaged in this noble vocation, who writes 10 or 12 sermons every day besides doing a lot of other things, cannot understand why the pastor of the church needs, two months' vacation If he is to keep going at all."

SWEDEN now says she didn't know what was in those notes. Sweden ought to know that the mere fact of her diplomats associating with the Teutonic Machiavellians is enough to discredit her.

INFLUENCE OF THE AVAR ON EDUCATION. Henry Van Dyke, formerly our minister to the Netherlands, Writes in Educational Foundations concerning the influence war is' bringing to education. He finds that it must implant those ideals and duties of citizenship that ara opposed to the brutal Nietzschean gospel of the supremacy of the "blonde brulte" as well as the softness and selfishness of those who think in the terms of the jellyfish. Secondly he sees war causing the need of more discipline in schools and colleges, and suggests the value of military drill. Thirdly, he points out that war is producing the realization in education that there must be something: of God, and greater sincerity in whatever religious forms are used. In this respect Mr. Van Dyke is seconded by the report of an eminent society which stated a few days ago that the lack of facilities school children have
