Entered at tho Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, as Se oni Class Mail Matter. Our Educational Training Systems We have frequently called attention to the necessity of giving the boy and girl a. rigorous training in the fundamentals of learning. No boy or girl faces the future with a greater handicap than if the school system has not impressed upon his mind indelibly the salient points in arithmetic, spelling, grammar, geography, history and literature. These branches ought to be taught so thoroughly that the boy or girl need never regret the early years spent in the grammar schools. If these important subjects are not taught so that they will "stick" for life, we believe the school system has failed to do its full duty to the individual pupil and to the state in which the youth will reside. In the November issue of Scribner's Magazine, Pearce Bailey, M. D., has an article entitled "Looking Youth in the Face." Part of it is reproduced with the hope that readers will obtain the magazine and read the article. "We seem. to cherish the agreeable hypothesis that all our boys and girls grow up equal, that ail are first-class, and all alike fitted for the intense and varied requirements of modern life. On this hypothesis we plan complacently our educational and training systems. . The disparity , between what we wish for and what we get comes out soon enough, but not until the results are past remedying, or if remediable, have already involved great economic loss. "The proof of the error in our original hypothesis is furnished by the large numbers of persons who fail hopelessly, by those who waste time and money in changing occupations before they find one suited to them, by those who never find occupations in which they do well enough to be entirely independent. In the State of New York, with a population of nine and one-half millions, there are nearly three hundred thousand persons who are registered every year as unable to take care of themselves, either by reason of physical disability, mental defects, or criminality.

every one whose inefficiency leaves him stranded on State or private charity, there are doubtless three or four who, though practically of no constructive use, have escaped registration. It would perhaps, not be far out of the way to assume that ten per cent of the adult male population of this State are, for some reason or ; other, and for shorter or longer periods, in a position of approximate if not absolute economic dependence. "The percentage of failures in our colleges is extravagantly large. It is least where the requirements for entrance are high. Seventeen per cent of one class was dropped from the academic department of an Eastern university well known for its rigid entrance examinations. In one of the best American schools of technology, not more than forty out of every hundred men entering receive diplomas at the end of four years. A recent review of ten consecutive classes in fourteen American colleges showed as an average result that from twenty per cent to twenty-two per cent of freshmen do not become sophomores and that from sixteen per cent to eighteen per cent of sophomores do not become juniors." Compete for Hardware Markets Japan has become a rival of the United States in supplying hardware to Australia during the war, says Commercial Attache William C. Downs in a report on Australian hardware markets just published by the Bureau of Foreign and Domes

tic Commerce, Department of Commerce. "The exclusion of many makes of European goods from the Australian markets and other eastern countries has stimulated the Japanese to great activity in an endeavor to capture the trade thus thrown open," the report states. "Whether it will be able to develop its production of tools and general hardware of the cheaper classes to a point that will satisfy the British tastes and requirements of Australia remains to be seen, but it is to be expected that a certain amount of trade will go to Japan. While this new competition may not seriously affect American trade in articles already, well introduced, it may tend to limit expansion in the sale of lines of goods not largely exported in the past from the United States." Mr. Downs lays particular stress upon the size of the Australian hardware markets considering the population and upon the fact that it is one of he few markets in the world where hardware other than English and American has never been an important factor.

NARDO AND THE BIRD Once upon a time a hunter named Nardo was hunting birds in the woods and just as he was about to fire a shot at a pretty bird sitting on a limb of a tree, to his surprise, the bird spoke to him. "Good hunter, Nardo," it said, "pray spare me, I have five little ones in a nest in this tree, and if you will promise not to harm us I will teach them to always remember your kindness to me, and also will help you if ever you are in trouble." Nardo, the hunter, laughed when he

of Edinburgh, an Admiral of the Fleet, and an extremely capable seaman. In the Navy he was known as "Happy Jack," on account" of the tactful manner with which he maintained discipliae without resorting to punishment, and his delight in violin playing. Kign George is a thoroughly trained seaman. "What he doesn't know about , a. ehip isn't worth knowing," say the sailors who have served under him, and they are no bad judges. King George is competent to take over the command of an Atlantic liner, or stoke the fires of a tramp steamer at a moment's notice. He is also an efficient gunner. His second son, Prince Albert, who was mentioned in dispatches for gallantry, in the Battle off Jutland, is also a highly capable seaman.

AARON HIOENOOR DIES

, CAMDEN, O., Nov. 2. Aaron Ridenour died here early this morning following an operation which he underwent on Monday..;. He was 75 years old and had been in poor health for several years. He was formerly a Camden business man, having conducted the department store now owned by his son-in-law, Charles White. For a number of years he was engaged in the same business with Mr. Baker in College Corner. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Charles White, with whom he made his home, Mrs. Ray Davenport of Bowling Green, three sons, Kenneth of College Corner, and Will and Clifford of California. No time has been set for the funeral services. Burial will be made at College Corner.

flying toward them with a twig held in its bill. Closer and closer it came until it was right over the head of the lion, and with the twig swinging from its bill it tickled the nose of the fierce lion until he had to jump away from Nardo to scratch his nose.

Quick as thought Nardo reached

for his gun and before the lion could again attack him Nardo shot him and over rolled the beast at his feet. Then Nardo looked for the bifa that had saved his life and on a limb of a tree over his head he saw it. "You are a very little creature, but you saved my life that time,"' said Nardo. "You saved mine many years ago by sparing my mother's life," answered the bird, "and we have never forgotten it." And away it flew, leav-

i ing Nardo to think over what the old

mother bird had said long before, that-

little creatures were often able to help the big ones, and Nardo knew she was right. "I'll never again harm the birds," he said, "nor will I despise those who are smaller than I am, for sometimes wisdom is contained in small bodies while the big ones may have very little."

heard this. "Why, how can such a little creature as you help me?" he asked. "That I cannot tell now, good hunter, Nardo," said the bird, "but small creatures have before this helped bigger ones. Spare me, I pray you." "Very well, I will grant your wish," replied Nardo, "but I will release you from your promise now, for I know full well you will never be able to render me any help." The bird went back to her . little ones, and the hunter went on through the woods looking for game. The little birds grew up and their

mother pointed out Nardo, the hunter,

to them every day, for she flew all about the woods wherever the hunter went. "Always do him a kindness if you can." the mother bird told the little ones. "He spared my life when you were too small to care for yourselves. He may need help some day; see that you are there to give it." The mother bird grew old and died, but the young birds followed Nardo wherever he went, and one day he went a long distance from their woods into a forest where there were wild beasts. .... Nardo bunted all day, but not a chance did he get to shoot a lion or a tiger, and when night came he found a place tack of a big rock where he was sheltered, and went to sleep. In the morning when he awoke he was frightened so his hair stood straight,, for looking at him from the, top of the rock was "a lion. Nardo did not dare to move his hands to get his gun, which was a little distance from him and the lion, with his eyes fixed upon poor Nardo, came down from the rock and stood close beside him. Swinging his tail and showing his teeth, the lion still gazed at Nardo, who thought every minute would be his last, and finally the lion put his front paws on Nardo's chest. Just as he did this Nardo saw a bird
