The recent convention of the Na- tional Educstional assoclation w: notable for a prevalling spirit of criti- cism by educators of the system of popular education in this country. One Kansas City instructor went so far in his condémnation as to assert that ‘“our present system of teaching has produced a luxuriant erop of spineless and animated nobodi . That is very strong language and it is a severe arraignment of modern methods of teaching, possibly too rad- ical, but the fact that it fs made by a man whose business is to teach must entitle it to consideration. What must strike |everybody 1s that since these men and women have discovered the defects in the system it is their duty now to find the remedy and apply it without delay. No matter what the problem is, they should be equal to it, and if they are they are failing in their duty; let them get together, decide upon just what is wrong and what is right and try to readjust the system upon correct lines. Ot course, it will appear by a care- ful survey that, while the teacher and school authority can do mueh to cor- rect existing evils, there is much more he cannot do, but that must be done by higher authorities, by the state, or by people themselves. In this case it becomes the duty of the proféssional school man to direct the work of im- provement. Fundamentally our pub- lic school system is sound, and what- ever defects exist must be superficial and not organic, but they should nevertheless be corrected, for the pub- Iie schools are among the pillars of our national life.

What Georgia complains of other states are enduring no more patiently and the demand is growing for the elimination of red tape or any condition that obstructs “a fair, speedy and impartial trial."”" The situation in Georgia has become 80 bad that the legislature has taken it up, and yet we doubt if it is one | | states. Judges may wince as they please and resent eriticlsm of their conduct of court trials, but it is often as an attorney writing to the Atlanta Constitution says, ‘One of the pressing needs of relief is a reformation of the methods of court practice and procted- ure.” Perhaps the blame for delayed trials, civil and criminal, does not rest entirely upon the court; mueh of it, of course, 18 due to the lawyers on el side of a case, out a great deal will bhave to be laid at the judge's door, for if he has the power under the law,to permit continucus delays, he also the power to enforce “‘a fair, speedy and impartial trial,” which the organic law promises to every man.’ 0 There is no doubt that the uncer- tainty of punishment and the appar- ently unnecessary delay in court pro- it. Criminals frequently escape pun- ishment altogether or are long im- mune from the 1aW's penalties because the wheels of justice move too glowly. In civil cases invelving business in- terests the delays are equally harmful. The Georgla lawyer quoted puts it that ‘“the administration of law bears about the same relation to the progressive spirit of business as does the medieval ox-cart to an electric motor.” The comparison may be overdrawn from general application, but all over the country this same delay in justice has come to be more dnd midre an object the ‘govern- | wpioh neitlier Caesar nor Cioéro would |of ‘complaint and, demand -that the remedy be-applied: While we boast of our judiciary as ong of the “bulwarks of our civil lib- erty,” still since laws and their admin- histration ‘depend .upon human nature and are bound to b¢ lmparfect, it is useless to deny that certain judiclal reforms could and should: be made. Respect for law is not fostered by weak and slow execution - Aeroplanes and Battleships. The aeroplane Is aiready seriously considered as an antidote for the Dreadnaught in time of war, if we are to continue wars as a meauns of settling’ international dispute: It not, then, of course, the aircraft and water-borne vessel will have to remain on the equal footing of defensive, instead of offen- sive, implements of war. From tests made by Glenn H, Cur- tiss it has been determined that an aeroplane can fire projectiles acou- rately from great helghts and could wreck a warship at a distance that would make it practically immune from danger so far as the water craft was concerned. For instance, it is claimed that a thousand shot could pierce the flimsy sails of the aeroplane without doing the least damage, and that while the crew would always be more or less subject to peril, the rising and falling, flitting and flying course of the aeroplane would make it ex- tremely hard to hit from any distance. But we are discussing battleships these days, &s we are discussing most everything else, from a monetary standpoint. One Dreadnaught is to cost $12,000,000. A good meroplane would cost $2,000 or §3,000, and while it takes 1,000 warriors to man an ocean vessel, it requires only two or three for the ordinary aeroplane. There is something of & financial gain to start with. Then another compar- ison in favor of the aircraft is in speed. The aeroplane can attain a rate of travel which the warship could not. Still, 1t will be some time before these new implements of war will be introduced, but modern inventions move swiftly, and what progress we have wrought in air travel has been sudden. With so many addressing themselves to the subject It is not im- possible that some nation may soon declde upon the innovation. An Aus- trian admiral and naval constructor is quoted as saying that “plans for the future Dreadnaughts must provide protection against this new danger” (the aeroplane). Major Parseval, the German expert, discusses the subject scientifically aud Archduke Leopold Salvator believes that ‘‘international law will have to provide against this kind of warfare.” In the United States Mr, Curtiss has been employed to make demonstrations. So far as international law providing against this menace 18 concerned, If it can do that successfully, then it can accomplish the better slternative of abolishing war entirely, the end to JULY 10, whit worse there than in many other| cedure invites men to commit unlaw-) ful deeds and never deters them from:! 1916.° ]’Inn‘ but while looking they investing mfllions in warships —— are stil One of the objections lodged aeninst the new campaign publicity law of | @DACted by congress is that it applies | out or u only to national campaign committees to o {and committees doing work in more | and |than one state and not to state lloeal committees working wholly | Within state lines. \¥th In the good old |\t 4068 nothold against Nebraska, and for that matter against many mmsrInm rarcio 4 ' states that have surrounded state and | regentatives of t equally severe Jewish |local committees with SECULAR Sprvgfield Republican wninations seem to be SHOTS AT PULPIT A satisfled with recent deciston of the Tilinols suprem: ruling Bible ¥ing 1 rhliglous de the court reading. publi These held Itute worsiip, und freedom in t f religion excludes compulsion of ance upon any form of worship; apd exerct att 1 all are taxed for the wupport of pub- | |llo sehools, mo form of worship. ean be forced upon those to whom It agrecable may be dis- In & general way reusoned Wwhich was not unanimous.
