The principles underlying the problem were not understood. The Outlook' presents the following cogent discussion of the question and arrives at conclusions in which all of us can concur: What does a community owe the criminal? It does not owe him food and clothing and shelter. It may supply him those necessities as incidental means to an end, but not as part of its debt to him. It does not owe him expressions of sympathy and affection. It may have sympathy for him, and even affection ; but whatever feelings it has

are the natural product of its humane spirit, not

a part of its debt.

It does not owe him any effort to relieve him of the painful consequences of his crime. Some of those consequences are material, some are

spiritual. They may involve loss of property. The community does not owe it to the criminal to make good any of that loss. They may involve the incurring of distrust on the part of hisfel-low-men. The community may put the criminal into the way of earning a renewal of faith in him ; but it does not owe it to the criminal to try to reestablish that faith for him. The first duty of the community is not to the criminal. It is protection of the law-abiding citizens from future crimes and reparation to the law-abiding citizens by the criminal for past crimes. ' To the criminal, however, it has a duty also. It owes to him such a course of discipline that he and those who are in his frame of mind will acquire, if possible, first, a motive to make such restitution as is in his power; and, second, if possible, an adequate sense of his guilt and a resolve not to repeat his crimes in the future. It is not vindictiveness on the part of the community that leads it to such a course of treatment for the criminal; it is, rather, an intelligent sense of justice, and of its own duty. In the community of nations, Germany is in the position of the criminal. . Undoubtedly . Germany is suffering from a lack of food and clothing and other necessities ; but that fact does not make it a part of the debt of the civilized world to Germany to supply her with those needs. Possibly as a means to an end, and as the result of a laudable humane instinct, it may be desirable to send her food and other things. Even for criminals in prison the community provides food, clothing, and shelter, but only as a part of the course of discipline to which it subjects them. Elsewhere in this issue are two articles describing conditions in Germany. In one article the under-nourishment of a large part

of the uerman population is ascrioea to lacK ot cant he figure it out victory?

sufficient food supplies; in the other it is attri-1 Anaconda standard.

Undoubtedly there is misery in Germany, as there is misery normally among criminals. But that fact does not make it a part of the debt of the world to express sympathy and affection for the Germans. The world may pity those who are suffering the evil effects of what they have done,

but its feeling is the natural instinct, not a part

of the world's debt or an essential in the fulfill

ment of the world's duty. Undoubtedly Germany is suffering and will long suffer from the material and spiritual consequences of the crime she "has perpetrated loss of property, loss of the world's esteem. It is not vindictiveness to say that it is no part of the world's duty to make good that loss to Germany.

What the world owes to Germany is what the community owes to the criminal. But what the civilized world owes to Germany cannot be adequately considered apart from what the world owes the community of nations. The first duty is to the law-abiding and peace-loving nations a duty to compel Germany to repair as far as she can do so the wrongs she has perpetrated, and to protect the rest of the world from the repetition of similar crimes. No spirit of pity or compassion for Germany or the German people should prevent the world from fulfilling this duty.Its duty to Germany as a criminal nation is such treatment as will, if possible, make the German people realize the crimes they have committed, realize the indignation of the civilized world against them because of those crimes, come to a sense of their own guilt and shame, and so provide Germany with a motive strong enough

to impel her to undertake all possible reparation for past crimes and to recognize in all her future relations the rights of other people. That is not a vindictive peace ; it is the only possible just peace. The French see this perhaps more clearly than any other people. That may be in part because they are where they have lasting proofs of the crime Germany committed; but it is also in part because the French, even in war and after war, think clearly and logically. What ought to be done to Germany will not be altogether pleasant for the Germans. Those who do what ought to be done will not be wholly popular with the Germans. That makes no difference. It may involve trouble for the world and further expense. That is not decisive. Does the world owe it to Germany? If so, the debt ought to be paid.

What Furnishings Were Used in First Schools of County?

Barely more than 100 years ago.

schools of Wayne county were not the , magnificent structures In which Richmond pupils now receive instruction in ; every branch of human knowledge. j The floor of one of the first school houses of the county, in Franklin ' township, was made of split puncheons ' the door of clapboards and the fire j place made by building out a ten-foot! hole in one wall with logs, and then! beating down clay about eighteen in-i ches thick. j A large green back-log requiring!

the united strength of the teacher and j several large boys, was rolled in thej fire place, and over it were put many .

eplit sticks. This was the sole provision for heating. Rough benches of split logs extended from one side of the fire place

around the room to the other side. On ; these the pupils were seated, facing j the fire, the teacher standing at one end. j The writing desk was a long slab ol

split timber, fastened on pins driven Into auger holes in the logs. The window consisted of a hole in the logs, covered by a piece of greased newspaper. On cold days, ink would freeze in the pen before it could be used for writing. School books used were Webster's Spelling Book, some reading book and

an arithmetic. A grammar, a raphy or an atlas, those children

saw. Cornbread, which sometimes froze during the morning, and a piece of wild turkey or deer meat, was tho dinner.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK IT'S THE SCORE THT COUNTS I never feel; that I have been given my money's worth or my pleasure's worth from a foot-ball or base-ball game, when I have to come away with the score nothing to nothing. Its the score that counts! It's the edge that one man has upon the other, that always shows him in the van Just a few paces ahead. And although the man with the score against his competitor may be looked upon as the winner, still the defeated man has always the best chance to be a fighter. And always, it's the FINAL score that counts most. What we do with onr years is an individual proposition. We may. have thirty or forty or eighty years allotted to us. But many folks live more in thirty years than others do in eighty. For you see, it's the score that counts. Keats died when a mere hoy. Napoleon was scarce fifty, whereas Theodore Roosevelt had hardly touched sixty. And yet these great men. In their own way, influenced whole worlds. And their fame shall continue to travel from generation to generation. It's the SCORE that counts! It is not the number of honors, nor the amount of dollars that are given to you, that make you great. It is the amount of helpful achievement in a good score, that makes people glad you lived. To-day will be a better day than yesterday. To-morrow will be a better day than to-day only in so far as your individual score Is better.

Education For Happiness

from the Indianapolis Star. IT is a common but shallow saying that a man who has acquired a certain amount of education becomes unhappy. Give a person a broader outlook on life, says the superficial philosopher, and you show him the road to greater unhappiness. Recently an English writer has jotted down a number of interviews with workers of many types, a clerk, a doorkeeper, a collier, a new Bolshevist, a Birmingham Ruskinian, and he reaches the conclusion that so far from supporting the conservative assertion that book learning brings only misery to those in poverty, the general verdict justifies adult education on grounds that would satisfy the strictest utilitarian. The writer found that "for these persons at least communion with the wisdom of ages and the beauty of the world has not made their workaday lives intolerable. Rather has it so widened their gaze and increased their responsiveness that only by this communion can life be endured." Here we have a conclusion that brings cheer to those who hope to find in education something more than a

mere return in dollars and cents. It is a common opinion which is much advertised that the most important result of education is to train workers in the world, men and women who will be better fitted for vocations and other forms of industrial employment. Too frequently educators neglect the other aspect of learning, its training for happiness In the world. As a consequence, technical training receives an undue prominence because there seem to be practical results which are tangible. We are, therefore, apt to frown on any admission that we are really enjoying anything we do. Our education is imbued with this Puritanism. Even in our sports we have felt the same spirit and we enjoy the game only when we win. The good play in basehall, the brilliant return in tennis, the fine drive in golf all count for little as compared with the final score. So we lose the zest of life because v.e are always desirous of winning. Stevenson, who took the more hedonistic view of living put it happily when he said, "To travel is a better thing than to arrive." Just now there is a special need in the academic world for stress upon the pursuit of knowledge for the mere pleasure that it brings to the searcher after truth. Education is today much talked about No one U--30 rash 4

as to deny its practical utility, but there is grave danger

that it may become altogether practical. We hear much

of business English in our high schools and colleges, just

as if our noble language and literature were "of little consequence as compared to the ability to write a correct

business letter or make no mistakes in the spelling of a

sentence. Technical training is popular and needs no defense. We must study science to increase production, we must study Spanish to increase American markets, we must study economics to become better business men. In our zeal for utilitarian knowledge let us not forget the happiness that comes in the search for knowledge and truth. A knowledge of history may make the present full of thrilling significance. How glowing do the mere facts become when read under the guidance of historical association! With only a little knowledge of history the plainest things in the world teem with suggestion and start a train of ideas that make life more endurable. And what joy comes to him who knows something of the stars, the rocks, the birds and the flowers! Many a young Harvard student was made a new creature by " a walk with Professor Shaler, eminent as a geologist, but pre-eminent as a man with eyes trained to look out upon a beautiful world. Many a young man has been stirred to a greater life after a walk with such men as Thoreau, John Mulr, John Burroughs, and a host of others whose names are unrecorded. As much might be said for the great books which have been written to show the road to greater knowledge of human life. Without their truths life would be hard and thin. The life of a great captain of industry is interesting and has its share of romance but after all the

larger and happier life and on the whole the more fruitful life comes to him whose associations are formed with the great dreamer in history, science and literature. Happiness can exist only in individuals. Knowledge and truth must be recognized as essential to life as food and action, they must be treasured as ends, not merely as means. The true educator will not forget that while education is concerned with making more efficient workers and more competent citizens, its highest function is to create good and happy people.

Everything is divided equally in this world. The rich man has the twinsix and the poor man has the six twins. GLORIA Let the great seraphim with tongues of thunder Through the ranged choirs of heaven cry aloud, "Glory! Glory! Glory! and awe and wonder To Thee, before whose face all worlds are bowed." Let the fierce sea shake out his tresses hoary, Driving his coursers wild from shore to shore. While the four winds shout, "Glory! Glory! Glory! To Thee, O God, that war sl'all be no more." But we, Thy people, Lord of gods excelling Not unto us; all glory rests in Thee Contrite and humble kneel, each" bosom swelling With love and Joy and brotherhood to be. Perley A. Child.

When Stephen Crane was reporting

the Greco Turkish war he had occassion to write of a battle in which the Turks turned and fled before the enemy. Crane watched with disgust the Turkish censor toning down his manuscrip, and finally that worthy came to the word "routed." "This won't do," he said; "we must have a euphemism here. What would you suggest?" "If I were you," said Crane sarcastically, "I'd simply say that the indomitable Turks changed front and ad

T. D Collins of Ookala, Hawaii, makes a remarkable statement which demonstrates the money-saving durability of Neolin Soles. He writes, "After wearing a pair of Neolin-soled shoes off and on for thirty-three months, I wore them on a trip to the volcano of Kilauea and walked around the crater over hot lava eix times and still the soles showed only slight signs of wear." This experience is not accidental. It results from the scientific process by which Neolin Soles are made to be exactly what soles should be comfortable, waterproof and exceedingly economical because of the long wear they give. . Get them on new shoes for all members of the family and have them put on worn shoes. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to outwear any other heels.
