American Shipping Needed to Carry Our
Foreign Trade
: :
By Dr. HERBERT A. GIBBONS, Author and Traveler
THOUGH we may be ill theory internationalists, we must he in prac
tice uncompromising nationalists. We must.refuse, for the sake of
our souls as well as our bodies, bo give our votes to any man or
party that does not etand for the absolute insistence, no matter what the
coitooa American right* in every question of foreign policy. To this end
wo crust stand- for th» larger navy and for some form of universal mili
tary training.
PACIFICISM UNDER PRESENT CONDITIONS IS CRIMINAL FOLLY.
WE NEED TO COMBAT IT ACTIVELY. REGARDING IT AS A DEADLY
ENIMYOF OUR NOTIONAL LIFE.
We most prepare to be the carriers of our foreign trade. It is essen
tial that ships bearing the American flag go to the uttermost parts of the
world. I do not know how this is to be brought about, but I do know
that it must come. If present laws militate agahist American shipping
they must be repealed. If subsidies are necessary they must be given.
Arguments againsi American shipping are pitifully like the arguments
for tollgatea-on public highways. If vour vision is limited by the end of
your nose you can persuade yourself tfiat it is cheaper to let some one else
do a-job for you than to do it yourself. BUT I NEVER HEARD OF
A PEACEFUL GROWING BUSINESS WHICH FARMED OUT
ITS DELIVERY-SERVICE.
We must create American banks in the near east, the far east and
South America.
Pensions For Teachers Justified on Social
and Economic Grounds
By Dfc JOSEPH SWAIN, President Swarthmore College
THE justification of pensions for teachers is economic, social and edu
cational. Economically the work of an organization is not effective
unless thera is a satisfactory method of retiring aged or infirm
workers. --
IT IS UNJUST TO SUCH WORKERS TO RETIRE THEM WITHOUT
CONSIDERATION. tT »S UNJU8T TO THE ORGANIZATION TO CON
TINUe THE* WHEN THEIR WORK HAS BECOME INEFFECTIVE.
Only a satisfactory pension system can prevent either the dismissal
of agecf or infirm teachers without resources or the sacrifice of the wel
fare erf the pupils in order to continue the employment of teachers who
are no longer capable of good work.
Socially men and women of character, intelligence and devotion are
willing to perform difficult social services that are poorly paid, but it is
too much to expect them also to face old age and disability without the
prospect of protection. Educationally there is great need to secure and
retain able teachers in the schools.
At present only about five per cent of the men and fifteen per cent of
the women who enter teaching maka it a permanent career. For these
reasons the development of pension svstems for teachers is becoming
more rapid. MORE THAN HALF Of OUR STATES NOW HAVE
SOME FORM OF PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS.
Patriotism of the Ameri
can People Needs to
Be Revived
By GEORGE M. GRAHAM. Editor
aod Trkef
THERE are not enough real pa
triots in America. Our people
are all right at heart, hut they
are alow to rise when danger threat
ens. It tnfces something imminent
to arouse their patriotism. What
we lack is leadership.
WHAT WE WEED IS SOME ONE
TO STIR US UP 80 THAT IT CAN
SOT BE SAID THAT THE PLAIN
AMERICAN HAS NO PATRIOTISM.
OR IF HE HAS IT 18 DORMANT.
The patriotism of the plain
American is. absolutely negative at
the present time. It is our obliga
tion to hand down to posterity the
country j which our forefathers
fought and bied for. The plain
American does hot rise to the ulti
mate of his obligation. Only our
leaders d«.
We must teach this country of
ours a real, life, devoted patriotism,
a patriotism as devoted as that of
the mother for her child.
Versatile.

Lack of Preparedness
May Result In Disas
ter For Nation
By CHARLES L. FRA1LEY, Asso
ciation For National Service
IN these times of peace which we
are now enjoying too much em
phasis is given, in the agitation
for a better and a greater army and
navy, to the cost which unprepared
ness will inflict upon us in loss of
treasure and of wealth, of payment
for indemnity, of great expendi
ture.
But, while we thus talk and write
of the necessity of protecting our
wealth and our industries, is there
no greater cost to be reckoned with,
to absorb our thoughts, to appeal to
our manhood? A COST EVEN*
GREATER THAN TIIE LIVES
OF OUR COUNTRY'S SONS
WHO MAY BE SACRIFICED AT
TirE HANDS OF AN INVADING
FOE?
It is an incontrovertible fact that
we are not prepared against war.
Shall we quickly—nay, at once—
make such preparation? Or shall
•we, while engaged in sordid calcula
tion or the strife of partisan poli
tics, hesitate and stumble and thus
take the chance, if not the certainty,
of eome dav paving not onlv gold
and silver, BUT, TO OUR EVER
LASTING SHAME, A PRICE
LESS AND A MONSTROUS COST
FORUNPREPAREDNESS? GOD
FORBII !
Age of London.
London was probably an ancient
British town. It appears to have been
resettled by the Romans about 43
A. D., and Londlnum (called also Au
gusta) was the capital of Britannia In
the last part of the Roman period
After <the departure of the Romans
(about 412) and in the early Saxon pe
riod its history Is obscure, though
there were bishops of Loudon from the
seventh century. It was plundered by
the Danes and rebuilt by Alfred and
Athelstan. By the fourteenth century
Its commerce had greatly developed.
It was scourged by the plague In 1005
and was almost entirely destroyed by
the great fire of ltkkL
Color 1 ones For Whtstler.
About the time James McNeill Whis
tler, the artist, was causing a sensation
with the painting which be called "A
Harmony In Black and Red." "A Noc
turne In Blue" or some such name he
had a misunderstanding with bis club
regarding dues. The secretary finally
wrote to Mr. Whistler saying that the
club would be glad to receive from him
"an arrangement in gold and silver."
