MAKING HISTORY HUMAN. One might suppose, off-hand, that human history cannot be anything else than "human." Anyone who entertains that supposition, however, is probably not very well acquainted with the general run of historical textbooks, especially those printed for school use. There are now signs of revolt against the uninteresting, fruitless, dry-as-dust method in which so many of those books are written and taught. The president of the board of education in one ef the big cities demands that history be studied in the schools "not as a string of names and dates, but as a comprehensive human review of the evolution of society and development of nations.' He insists, too. that historical events shall not be warped and misrepresented from a mistaken sense of patriotism, because "real Americanism does not require that the textbook should eulogize America and Americana beyond all truth." He wants children to get a better appreciation of the other nations of the world and our past and present relations' to them. This Is a desirable thing to do. as anybody who is at all Interested In history will recognize- But one big, serious obtrudes itself. If history is taught in this way. it will certainly interest the children more, and they will understand it a great deal better; but will it help them to pas their examinations? Perhaps that question can best be answered by asking another: Is passing examinations the main object of instruction? A plain citizen without any pedagogical prejudices will probably say that if children can't pass their history examinations without having their heads crammed with a lot of useless names and dates to the exclusion of real information, then so much the worse for the examinations.

SNEER COSTS HIM DEARLY. The man who can't lose gracefully or who watches a competitor win and then deprecates the performance Is not a good sport. Harry Hawker, the Australian who at" a banquet last week covertly sneered at the success of the American trans-Atlantic flyers, has proved himself a poor sport. He could have had anything he wanted In this country when he made the brave start he did on his voyage and when he was thought to be lost he was eulogized by every newspaper in the country, but since he acted like a cad In pooh poohing the American performance he need never come to America. We love winners and game losers over here. We dislike whiners. People will rejoice that Hawker Is an Australian and cot an American.

t MARSHALL CLOUTS SOCIALISM. It is too early to determine whether vice president Thomas R. Marshall is preparing to Join the republican party or whether he Is merely engaged in "building a corduroy road over which he hopes to lead the democratic party from the morass of socialism in which it Is floundering at present. Hut in either event he has acquired the American viewpoint which also happens to be the republican viewpoint, concerning some matters that are of vital Importance to the nation. In an address delivered at Atlantic City yesterday he gave the expiring government ownership hersy of the present administration a lusty clout on its quivering chin. He summed up the situation very concisely in one paragraph. "I am unalterably opposed to government ownership of anything the government does not have. The real weakness of government ownership of anything is that there is nobody to cuss, nobody to sue and nobody to reward. I never knew much good to come out of anything in which men had no hope of reward "or honor." The vice president wants to see the railroads operated by their owners, but with such a broadening of

;ne powers or tne interstate commerce commission

will eliminate the greater evils that characterized private ownership during the development and later the manipulation of the transportation business of the country. His suggestion that the waterways should be develed and linked up with the railroads system is also a commendable one and will doubtless be put into execution as rapidly as possible, although it is a plan that requires development and cannot be brought to full-bloom over night.

UNWEANED. The war department has conducted psychological tests of the mental development of soldiers and found 45,653 men under 10 years, mental age. The press dis

patches on the subject do not disclose what tests were' applied in order to make the demonstration. We won-

der at what age they would rank a secretary of war who in reply to criticisms of his delay in preparedness after we entered the war excused his procrastination by saying that the war was 3.000 miles away.

LEARN THE DECLARATION OF 1776. In 1776 representatives of the several Colons America adopted a declaration in which they . asserted that 'these t'nited Colonies are, and of right outli. iu be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, eseablish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do" That declaration was not true at the tfrne if was made, but by force of arms our forefAthers made it true, and it has been true ever since. How long it will be true, remains to be seen. In th? proposed leagee of nations. Great Britain will haxe six votes to America's one. Will it then be true that we are "absolved from all allegiance to the British crown?" If we become a party to the league of nations, vill it then be true that we have "full power to deelar war?'' t'nder the terms of the league of nations covenant, shall we have "full power to establish commerce?" Shall we have full power to "contract alliances1" Read over that Declaration of Independence again and then check it up with the plan of a league of nations and see in how many particmulars the brave eed of our ancestors is undone by the act of Woodrow I. May it not b a wise thing to commit that original Declaration of independence to memory, for it may he treason to print it after we have become a party to the league of nations.

WHY BOLSHEVISM DECLINES. There is food for thought in the rapid decline of Bolshevism, fast burning itself out in Russia, and under good control in the rest of the world. The dimming of this bright red conflagration has been simultaneous with the announcing of the peace terms, and every atern reply of the allied governments to Germany's frenzied cries for leniency sees the con fidence of Bolshevism growing weaker. The armies of Lenine and Trotzky are falling back; those two prophets of a ruleless world are having less and less to sty- It is quite possible that their enthusiasm, kept at red-hot point by German fuel, is growing cold because of golden marks withheld by the crafty Prussians, who see at last how much they are going to need money themselves. The false power built upon false creeds is coming to its natural end. But when all things are considered, little room for-doubt remains that Bolshevism, too. was an evil thing for which Germany was chiefly responsible, and wich faJIs as Germany falls. Persons inclined to a weak, mistaken idea that the peace terms are too harsh should add this to the toll of German crimes for which the world has suffered.

IT IS UP TO THE SENATE. If any doubt existed as to whether the league of nations was to be incorporated in the peace treaty with Germany it was dissipated by the words of President Wilson when he presented the new draft of the league at the plenary session of the peaceo conference. At the conclusion of his remarks he moved to amend Article V of the league covenant by adding the words "or by the term sof this treaty." Before that language was put into the document there was no reference in the league constitution to the treaty, but tne auction of the new phrase links the league and the treaty Together as one instrument. The thirty-nine senators who signed the resolutions t the close of the last congress registering their di -approval of the plan to combine the league and the .reaty are now face to face with the very situation against which they protested. The country looks to them with confidence to stand by their "Second Declaration of Independence" and decisively reject the diplomatic monstrosity when It comes before them for action.

Shabuoth. the Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost,, falls on Wednesday and Thursday. June 4th and 6th. The name is derived from the fact that the festival falls seven weeks or fifty days ater the beg-.nning: of the Passover festival. Shauboth la a festival of the first fruits when agricultural offerings

j were brought to the Temple at Jerui salem, as a thanksgiving token for j the new crop they gathered. This holj iday also commemorates the giving of the Decalogue or Ten Commandments i on Mount Sinai. By thif,' a new sig

nificance is attached to the festival, in which the r.pened fruits of the spirft are offered in praise and thanks, as an offering from the children of Israel To this day, the Ten Commandments are read In the Synagogues and th pledge of loyalty made by the fathers of old. Is renewed by their eons in love and faithfulness. Spec.al Shauboth services will b held at the Cong. Bnat Israel during the Holiday. Rabbi B. A. Daskal will preach on "The Birth of a Nation."

GERMANS WANT MONARCHY LIKE ENGLISH GOVERNME

NT

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE i BERLIN. May (delayed) Many German peoj: !e political leaders, subordinate govfrnment officials, professional men and farmers want the return of a monsrchla.1 form of itovernment in Germany, but th-y do not wnt the x-kaifer to come bark. This wtdf-spread iew was estahlishfd by a Feries of interviews which have ben secured di:rlnir the past few days. Many of the rank and file are not satisfied with th republic for the pomp and itlitter of kaiserdom appeal to the irman mind. But offsetting the pessimistic prophets. Premier Philip Prheidfrnann says that the republic Is here to stay. Of any attempt to restore the monarchy by force of arms there seems little prospect. The out and out monarchists are apparently bidinf the r time hoping to take advantage of a natural evolution. The flight of the former kaiser Into Holland is regarded on all sides as a cowardly act and if the monarchy should be restored it i most likely that the crown will g" to a prince cf some ro.il Herman family. If "W'ilhelm conies back U will be as a private citizen.

Pome of the most Important of the interviews follow: Premier l'hilip Scheidemann "I consider the ex-kaiser finally disposed of. He wou'.l never be a menace to the German republic if he should come back."'

MID-SEA HOTELS. British airplane manufacturers are planning a series of luxurious floating hotels placed at five-hundred mile Intervals across the Atlantic for the use and comfort of aerial navigators. These gtopping-off places are to be moored in midocean and are to have landing plaw'orma sufficen rarge to permit, five or six airplanes To rest at one time. This is undoubtedly a fine idea, ant; will he much appreciated by all air travelers who do not suffer from sea-sickness, but tt can hardly appeal to the hapless in dividual who chooses the sea-going plane because the voyage in an ocean steamer means mi.ry to him. H would rather fly away home lik the well known ladybird than rock in the most sumptuous cradle the deep has to offer. And after all, why go to sea if one Is going to land all the time?

We look at the milk patla and the paunches of the cows stuffed with the new grass, and say. "Well, there's no need of foundering them. We'll Just leave off the feed from now on.' It Is left off and it stays off all through the summer ; all through the dry August weeks when grass gets short, and clear on until frost drives the cows Into the barn. "In consequence many cows go Into winter Insufficiently nourished. Grass is but wet hay. And while farmers have an Idea that It is an all
