Published Daily by re Vhoue Male Goo Pet War Made School Social Center Ever since the Middle Ages great educators have tried to get the school out of its monastic seclusion. Thoughtful writers like John Dewey and William Wirt have told us that the school should have a part in every field of human life. War mobilized the schools. It the treasury department to sell Thrift Stamps. the medical service thru the Junior Red Cross. every war activity to the family. Domestic science departments taught community can- ning, preached and practiced food conservation and made clothes for Belgian and French orphans. Vocational classes were first aid in training for service in all the manifold trades of a mechanical war College staffs mobilized minds and men in a multi- tude of fields. Laboratories fought poison gas, liquid fire and submarines to such effect that the horrors of Hun science were checkmated everywhere. Scholastic psychology was drafted from its exclusive laboratories and its unintelligible vocabulary and set the task of choosing non-commissioned officers and aviators. It did the work so well and developed such splendid ma- chinery and methods for selecting men that the world has gained a glimpse of wholly new possibilities in finding pegs to fit its many sided industrial, political and social holes. ue ; War taught us that education is not an affair of youth alone. In teaching millions of adults we learned new and wonderful short cuts to knowledge that will hasten the speed of progress for many peaceful generations. The school plant was used to tell all the people all the things we all needed to know to fight effectively for our free institutions. When the school was mobilized along with the farm, the factory, the family and every other social institution, it learned to march and serve as fellow soldier with all of these. Like all these, its military experience has changed it forever. Like all these soldier pals, it must now mobilize for the work of improving the society it helped to save. The school will keep on with Thrift Stamps and health work. It will, as the social center of the whole community, continue to offer education to wider and wider classes. It will make use of the new methods of “in- tensive training” developed in officers’ training corps and wherever a nation’s need drove to speed in education for war. Its technical departments will continue to draw closer to home and farm and factory until it is a vital indis- tinguishable part of each. It will apply in peaceful selections of vocations for its st&dents the lessons learned in picking aviators and offi- cers. Its laboratories will war on disease and incompetence and erty as they warred on Prussianism. hools, like men, learn as well as fight in war. made them a part of They joined They linked For the first time in all the history of international diplomacy, the world is able to at least peek behind the scenes and feel a certain satisfaction that sincere men are striving to make noble decisions. News dispatches reveal that President Wilson has already “opened his mind and inspired respect thru simple ag and the nobility of it,” as Premier Clemenceau told French deputies. Vague confusion concerning the League of Nations idea has doubtless been cleared by the president's conference “President Wilson said to me: ‘I will try to convince you, but perhaps you will convince me.’” This is another quotation from the crafty Tiger of France. Such are the gratifying echoes sent back to the people at home. Those who failed to see the necessity of President} Wilson’s journey to the peace table surely, now, must re- alize that his decision was most vital. That he has, in quiet conferences, carried the force of his convictions to the allied diplomats, is every day more | it. Day by day the great drama is being unfolded to the world. Altho the peoples of the world may not yet under- stand just what is being done, the news dispatches are revealing, bit by bit, the fact that a tremendous idea for future world safety is definitely crystalizing. 6 Got the Figures on Papa _ Occasionally, the editor is furnished a bunch of sta- tistics that makes him hunger to run a standing announce- ment to the effect that figures lie like a German chan- cellor. For instance, observe this beastly use of figures: U.S. bureau of labor statistics, sizing up a hundred representative families of the New York shipbuilding dis- trict having an average income of $1,300 per year, shows that men spend more money on dress than do women. Thus, the average annual outlay for clothes: Papa Mamma 3ig Brother Big Sist $73.17 $52.04 $70.41 $62.13 School Boy School Girl Boy Babies Girl Babies $37.50 to $40.46 33.07 to $38.86 $19.10 22.36 7 What an upset of papa’s favorite theory which he takes pains to impress upon mamma, frequently Not only does he out-spend her at maturity but he begins to ae tt the minute he gets out of the cradle, It’s raw camouflage, that’s what it is, and we're goin to stick to the proposition that woman is the eiavarait dresser—at least until we get home. * 5 Spray Night and Morning Contact spreads “flu.” It doesn’t travel in the air. amen ‘ta ue like “grip” of 20 or 30 years ago. ese are the opinions of doctor signed interviews in the New York Medical Journal. See en They say the disease spreads from person to person. Parents working in offices, shops and ctories get it and carry it home to their children. It spreads easily in a crowd, You can’t stop all the crowds, and starve the nation. What can we do, then? Follow common sense—use disinfectants.
