FOR FATHERS AND MOTHERS. ' Dr. Gorge D. Strayer, professor of educational administration of Columbia University and former president of the National Education Association, turns into view a phase of the public school question of which little has been said and concerning which little i3 generally known outside educational organizations. That ja the incompetency of a large proportion of public school teachers, and in support of his conclusion that the most distinctive American institution, the public schocl system, unless rescued by immediate remedial efforts, "will suffer harm which cannot be repairo i short of several decades, he quotes from the report of the United States Commissioner of Education. While the public school organization, according to Dr. Strayer, has been going backward for a long time, the accent has been since 1914. The figures he presents are astonishing. In 19 IS one-sixth of the public school teachers were 19 years of age, or younger, and 300,000, or approximately 50 per cent cf the national aggregate, are under 23 years of age. Rut the worst is still to come, for Dr. Strayer observes dejectedly that this immaturity of age is aggravated by "an appalling lack of education beyond the eighth grade." Dr. Strayer probably is not alone in the desire to "burn these facts into the minds of the fathers and mothers of the country, who ought to

LET US TRY TO SEE STRAIGHT. Without straight seeing there can be no straight thinkftig, Hut prejudice thrives without discomfort to these who give it place in their minds, while some effort may be necessary to obtain and assimilate facts. Prejudice warps and befuddles, for which reason it should be put away as an injurious thing. It hinders progress ,for it rejects the trulh. Were it not so, we should have no such commentary as this on the supreme court's decision against the government's plea fcr dissolution of the United States Steel Corporation: "There is reason to doubt whether the effect of a decree of dissolution would have been more noticeable than that of the decree of dissolution in ta Standard Oil case. The Standard van ordered to unscramble' and it is today the same old Standard. If that Is true, then the decree against the old

was wholly unjust and unwarranted. The

complaint in that case was, and the acussation was held to have been proven, that the Standard was monopolistic and restrained trade by unfair methods of complaint in that case was, and the accusation was in every state where the petroleum industry thrives, several of them in some states, but are there not others also? Looking over a list of independent oil refining companies one gets the idea that the Staudard must compete in genuine fashion in order to live. If it does in the aggregate of its links carry on the major part of the oil business it is strange, if it is "the same old octcpus," that you hear no complaints from independents. The latter are in fact so prosperous and busy that thew have no time to bother about competitors. Whatever grounds for complain the public may have against the Standard these days may be, as legitimately cited against the independents. The ancient prejudice against the Standard rests chiefly on its success. No form of justice would satisfy these prejudiced beings; they are out fcr spoliation of the rich without consideration of the benefits conferred on humanity by those who do worth while things, as the Standard has done so amazingly. These people would not have been better pleased with the dissolution cf the Steel Corporation unless it had sent its owners, among them thousands of employes, forth as beggars and destroyed the plants.

F0RSAKI1TG SELF-INTEREST. The statement made by the director of the bureau of war risk insurance to an Investigating committee of the house of representatives that of 3,000,000 or more service men who carried government insurance during the war all but 600,000 have allowed their policies to lapse calls attention to a deplorable situation. The value of life insurance is so widely recognized that to give up the extraordinary cheap war policy, behind which stands the wealth of the nation, Is equivalent to a renunciation of self-interest. The director of the bureau told congress he was

confident that the number of noHrv-hnld

know that 1,000.000 children are entrusted to the edu- j increasen- t0 2.000.000 within five vears. Public-spirited

organizations should co-cperate with him in his cam-

catlonal guidance of teachers who themselves have not

had more than a -.common school education." His statistics are of a character which must impress the minds of all who have a genuine interest in the prcper maintenance of the public schools. The question, Dr. Strayer says, which should be put to American parents and the nation at large is: What kind of schools do we want for our children? In view of this arithmetical presentation that appears to be the real question, but the answer should be easy to reach. The country wants the best, and after recovering from the humiliation that follows discovery of how far we are and have been from the best, something may be done to give the public schools we desire and which the richest nation ought to have.

THE grave problem confronting the serious-minded men in the petroleum industry today, is to keep pace in production with the seven-league strides of the demand for gasoline. In ten years the production of crude oil in the United States has increased only 96 per cent, while during the same period the output of gasoline has increased 560 per cent. The demand for no other commodity in general use has increased to a degree that even approximates the mark reached by gasoline. In ten years the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has increased its output of gasoline from 150 million gallons to more than 600 million gallons a years. It is apparent that this could not have been accomplished except by intensive application of improved, scientific methods of refining. As a matter of fact, the price of gasoline is held in bounds only by the sheer force of science. Except for the ability of such institutions as the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to make a wide range of useful products from that part of the crude oil which is not used to make gasoline, you would be paying a much higher price for gasoline than you pay today. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is bending every effort to increase its output of gasoline to meet the demands and to sell it to you at as low a price as possible.
