After the Peace Treaty "Germany has signed the most drastic and

crushing peace treaty in history," says Henry Clews, New York banker. "A hasty survey of what has happened will show that Germany has

completely lost her magnificent army and her

splendid navy. Her wonderful merchant marine

and great foreign trade have both been swept

into the laps of rivals whom she had always regarded with jealousy and contempt, and even

hoped to dominate in future. Her colonies are

gone to those who will undoubtedly govern them

better. ,Her mineral resources have been great

ly curtailed. Her great world ambitions have

perished in a mist, and she has been shorn of many thousand square miles of territory, as well as millions of population who formerly aided in carrying out the will of Germany. She has been

the sole cause for the downfall of two of her best friends, Austria-Hungary and Turkey; not to speak of the ruin of the Russian Empire and a number of minor States. But worse than all of these tragedies is her own ruinous loss of prestige, the destruction of which has left her the most distrusted nation in the world. Total disregard of the sacred pledge and of all the common humanities has invoked the hatred of mankind throughout the world; a hatred multiplied many times over by that similar hate which early in the war &he so successfully planted in the minds of her own people. No such tragic punishment as this ever befell any nation. Such is the retribution which Germany has brought upon herself by the inordinate ambitions of Prussian militarists, who through blind worship of

self and force deceived the trustful German people. What their future may be none can foretell ; nor are there as yet any signs of repentance on which to build anew. For many years to come German progress will be handicapped by an intense foreign prejudice created by her own unscrupulous and barbaric conduct. Under such circumstances reconstruction will be slow, and many Germans will doubtless seek to retrieve their fortunes in happier lands. "The handling of our foreign trade is rapidly becoming an acute financial problem of national importance. In May our exports amounted to $606,000,000 and imports $329,000,000, an excess in the former of $277,000,000. During the eleven months ending May our exports were $6,308,000,-

Readjusting Education George D. Strayer, professor of educational administration at Columbia University, speaking before the National Educational association, said he believed that the teachers of the nation must bring about a new educational program that will harmonize with the new spirit of the age. An abstract of his address follows : We have long been committed in the United States to the principle of universal free public

education. That we have not yet realized the ideal embodied in this principle is a matter of common knowledge. But few Americans realize how far short we have fallen. The army tests indicated twenty per cent of illiteracy among our adult population. One man out of every three was found to be physically unfit for general mili

tary service. Hundreds of thousands of foreigners who live among us have had no opportunity for that kind of education which would enable them to understand our government nor have they had provided for them the instruction which might lead to an understanding of our ideals. Only those children who live in the more favored communities have any adequate educational op

portunity. Millions of Americans, boys and girls, are being taught during a six months school term by boy and girl teachers who have less than a high school education. The great majority of our children receive no education beyond fourteen years of age. It is a matter of common knowledge that ideals and purpose which govern in life are commonly developed after fourteen and we know

that the intellectual maturity required to understand the principles underlying our republican form of government is not developed before that age. The future of our American democracy depends upon a recognition of the necessity of de

veloping the United States a system of public education: (1) which will remove illiteracy, (2) which will provide for the Americanization of every foreigner who would continue to live among us, (3) which will include a program of physical education and health service, providing for every boy and girl an opportunity for normal physical growth and development, (4) which will guarantee sufficient support for public education to make possible a well equipped school in which a

At half-speed It circled round and round the space, turning its vast head from side to side with an anxious and perturbed gaze, as if seeking only some avenue of escape; once or twice It endeavored to leap up the parapet that divided it from the audience, and, on failing, uttered rather a baffled howl than its deep-toned and kingly roar.

corded. But the excess of exports for these

eleven months amounted to $3,505,000,000, or $754,000,000 more than a year ago. The question is. how will this growing excess of exports be off

set? Europe is poor, having neither goods nor gold to offer in exchange, being also heavily in debt to other nations. For a year at least she will not be able to pay for simple necessities ; and she can only buy on credit. Already we have loaned many billions abroad ; and for the preservation of Europe as well as for our own best interests, we must furnish the needed financial help as far as we can without self injury. Estimates as to the future needs of the depleted nations vary from $1,500,000,000 to$4,000,000,000; the lower figure covering the necessities for a year or so, the larger sum being for longer periods. Our bankers have already been in conference with the authorities at Washington as to the best form of help, and in due season some definite plans will be announced. Of course, the best aid that we can offer is that which will facilitate the resumption of work, trade and traffic in all of the war-

torn countries, Allies and enemies alike. None of them can buy indefinitely without selling, and for this reason alone it will be ill-advised for us to impose restrictions upon imports which would tend to lessen our own exports. In this connection, the resumption of gold exports upon a more

education to eighteen years of age on full time,

citizens with respect to the short-comings of our

school system and of enlisting their support in

the development of a program of education which

will make good the promises of our democracy, rests upon our profession. We may not hope to meet our responsibility except as we organize our profession in such a way as to make effective in our states and in the nation our demand for the development of our public school system.

melodramatic climax, furnished him by Nature, the author had been spinning the lives of his characters in the little city which nestled under the

shadow of the volcano. The converging threads of the story are many, giving in the final weaving a complete picture of the life of Pompeii its shops, tiny palaces, baths, forum, theatre, circus, and all that daily took place in the energetic life of this toy copy of Rome at the beginning of the Christian era. The story centers around Glaucus the Athenian, brilliant, gay, witty descendant of a nobler race frivolling himself away amid the coarser pleasures of the Romans, until finally all that was fine in him was brought forth by his love for lone of Naples, who like himself was a child of Greece. And alongside this tale of love runs the pathetic story of Nydia, the blind slave girl who centers all her hopes of happiness in winning the affection of Glaucus. To this end she gains possession of a love potion which the .opulent Julia has had prepared in the belief that it will bring to her the much-desired Glaucus. In reality the potion is a poison which will drive the unfortunate drinker mad. It is

GO VISITING

The trouble with most of us is that we live too much at noma. And our home gets stale. And we get cross. And people don't like to come and call on us. Go visiting. Growth springs out of change. Take the terrible war that has ben waging for years. Even now the chaos is heart-sickening, and yet out of it all will come a better world because of the change. Go visiting. In the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes, in his beautiful poem. The Chambered Nautilus, "Leave Thine out-grown shell." Hunt newer things and bring them back home with you. Go visiting. When you go visiting, people are apt to be "nice" to you and they give you things, and they smile at you, and they encourage you, and they inspire you all because you come to them with something and they have something for you. But if you stay around in one spot. It doesn't take long for you to begin to fall to pieces and die of too much self. Go visiting. The broadest thinking people are those who travel most those who move around amongst the most different kind of people. Go visiting. It's the visitors who are the builders because they see greater needs and they do not try to change a world in one square foot of space, because they know the world is very big and that out of the millions of folks, everyone is different. So, to learn to grow, please Go visiting.
