AN EXCHANGE OF STUDENTS. Kveryone may recall the- exchanpe of professors between (Jfi'man and American univer.cits before the- war, a subtle form of propapanla much ncourapl by the former Kaiser, and the' Ithodos scholarships at Oxford, heeiueathed by tho preat I5rltish imperiallJ't to promote the unity of the Atrzlo-axoii ami Teutftnir peoples by brinpintf topether American, ilerman anel Inpliwh stutlents. Since the war the (ierman Rhodes scholarships have been dropped. Instead there has sprung up an Oxford university British-American club whicli has for its purpos.- the promotion of uneb rstandlnp between the British. Co.onia' ind American students tliere. At present abou 100 American undergraduates and 20m from the overseas domlrlons are enrolled at nxford, who will form the nucleus of the new club. This moement revives the sugfestiejn that in-t-atl of an exchange of professors the Uritlsb ami American unive rsitie's might arrange an exchange of student.-, that a few thousand British students be sent te Ame-rican universities anel a few thousand American students te British universities each year, the reductive governments to pay the- expense. Such a ''.üct-tos the r" movement would be (wo-sided, fair and mutually benelieial. It would mean that a leaven of lirst-hand information about the' other country and people would be exehanged annually of which there is on both sides the greatest need, particularly in the altered relations of the two natior.s as n result of partnership in the war and no le.-s because of the problems of the future in whieh the nerd for mutual understanding will be of vital importance to each.
A HUNDRED MILLION FOR EDUCATION. At first thought the proposal of the Smith-Towner bill now in conurrrss to appropriate' $ 1 00,UOO,OOa lor education i likely to stagcer average conceptions. That is, he-cause wo have been looking upon schools in terms of hunilr ds of dollars inste ad of terms of hundreds of millions. The proposal to spend nearly a billion dollars a car on a Rlantic naval establishment and almost as much upon the military, lias e-xcited comparatively little interest among the taxpayers. The war had accustomed us to thinking of defen in term-! cf billions. Thus, a billion dollars for war does- not seem tu be mi largo a sum as a hundred million for schools. And yet what it : officially suggested th.it we spend upon the war machinery In a single year above our
WILL WOMEN VOTE THIS YEAR? It begins to look doubtful whether the vomen will have suffrage throughout tho land in time to exercise that prerogative in the Nove ruber election. Only a scant three states are- necessary on the list of those which have so far ratitieel the Anthejny .imenilmeiit to the constitution, but the last few seem t cnnie with propres lively increasing elitHculty. Tile reason for this can not be plve-n, for no onu has actually shown what Ls the motivating cause. But it may be true, as has been charged by seime arde-nt suffragists, that b-aders of the two dominant parties are' back of the delay. How this may be is explained by the well known timidity of politicians" in the face of a new issue. They cannot tell what th women voters will do; both elemocrats anil republicans have failed, in the? large sense-, to line uy the suffragists solidly bohind either of their banners. And as the campaign this year is to be decided upon very complicated issues, they are afraiel of any .new factor which threatens further to confuse things. What they do there would be considerable relief experienceel by party managrs if the4 women did not get to vote this year.
If the new home rule bill doesn't please all concerned, it won't be because if lack of experience and experiment.

For Fathers and Mothers to Give Serious Thought Ir. (;eorg' IX Strayer. professor of educational administration of Columbia university and former president of the National Kducational association, turns into view a phase of he public school question of which little has bee nsald and concerning which little is generally known outside educational organizations:the incompetency of a large proportion o( public school teachers. In support of his conclusion that the most distinctive' American institution, the' public school system, unless rescued by immediate' remedial efforts, will suffer harm which cannot be repaired short of several ilec-ade-s. he ejuotes from the report of the United States commissioner of education. While- the- public sehotd organization. according to Ir. strayer. has been gedtig backward for a long time-, the accent has been Mino 1M4. Th' tiirures h presents are astonishing. la l'.'l -ne'-sixth of the public school t ;u hets were 1 ' years of aj-'t1 or younger, and 300,"m0. or approximately ro pr cent of tin' national aggre gate', are unb r 2.". jears of a t: e But the worst is still to come, for Pr. Stra-r obs-rves l-je ctetlly that th.is immaturity e f ag- is aggravated by "aii appalling lack of education beyond th- eighth grade." lr.

His statistics are of a character which must impres sthe minds of ail w ho hav ' a ge-nuine inte r-st in t i i - proper lli.U!,t lUttH '' of the publit, schools. The piostion. Pr. Strayer says, which should be put I.. A u-r ic.iax ijajtULi aüJ the Uatlull
at large- is: What kind of schools do we want for our children? In view of his arithmetical presentation that appears to be tho 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 publi cschools we desire, and which the richest nation ought to have.

MAHCI.V. Marcia has an uncient and noble origin. In early Rome there was a famous gem of Sabine origin which :ave a king ti Iiome and was called Martius. Martins is said to come from Marcus, a name about which the-re is much contention among etymologists. However, the consensus of opinion seems to be that it was derive el from Mars, the war god and one of the chief of the old Ii tin deities. The' daughte r of the Martius family were called Marcia. Another spe lling was M a r zl a. Beaching France, the name became Marcie and of late years when Marcia returned to vozu she was used as the fe-minin' of Mark. Martina is another form of Marcia. the riginal Martina being one of the young Itman sirls who endured the tiery trial of martyrdom under the F'ruperor I-ciu.
