Nowhere else in the country can more people admire Uncle Sam's ships than from the long stretches of Riverside Drive. Nowhere in the country can officers and crews better enjoy well- earned recreation than amid the sights and diversions to be found in Manhattan. Capable committees will sce that officers and distinguished naval officials are received and banqueted in a manner worthy of the city. But the sailors are to be just as well taken care of. Theatres are issuing special tickets, good any afternoon or night next week. Base- ball games will be open to the bluejackets. On Thureday night The World has arranged for the visitors an all-around entertainment at Madison Square Garden to include boxing contests, vaudeville and music.

AJOR GRANT of the State National Guard appeals to the Board of Education to put a stop to the “open and official encouragement against military service” which he accuses @ Brooklyn public school principal of urging upon school children. Clase-room posters reflecting upon uniformed defenders of the netion and partioularly the singing of the song “I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier,” arouse the Major's ire. It is up to the Board of Education to make one thing clear. State Constitution requires that ‘there shall be maintained at all times a force of not less than ten thousand enlisted men, fully uniformed, armed, equipped, ieciptined and ready for active service. The public echool system is not expected to belittle or discredit any other department of State or national service. If teachers find it impossible to inspire their pupils with a love of peace without deliberate attempts to render all soldiers abhorrent, then it is safer to exclude all such discussion from the schools. It is eurely no function of primary education to criticise institu- tions which the organic Jaws of Nation or State have established and which the habits of civilized peoples more than ever compel.

It is merely a trouble-maker, hav~ ing no function whatever in the body's work. It belongs to a set of organs called vestigial organs, as they appear to be mere vestiges of once useful organs. Appendicitis is not nearly as fatal as is thought. The United States census of 1900 (which was the firet one to recognise appendicitis as @ separate cause of death) gives only 5,000 deaths in the United States for the ten previous yeure—about one death in every 200.
