STILL DANGER IX MEXICO
Mexican wars seem potty Bquab- '
bles In th'w period of tremendous
bitUen 1a Europe, but Mexico's fol
lif)i and disorders axtj our troubles,
la a vary speciai »0&»e. They can- |
not bo put aaidg as If they were
tiiq affliction* of a country half
way around the world from the
United States, Mexico is under '
the rerjr shadow ot the American
republic and Maclean affairs must
necessarily be important to Ameri
cana.
It is a serious matter, for this
reaaon, that there should be a civil
war In the Mexico state of Sono- !
ra, where two rivals for the con
trol of the state government have
been fighting each other, one with
the support of Villa, the other
backed by Carranxa. Sonora 'a J
across the frontier from Arizona,
and many Americans have worked
and made investments there. It
may be that they will have to en
dure another period of disorder
and insecurity or get out of Mexo
eo again.
Such an incident would not be
of gr*T3 significance if there were
any likelihood that it will be the
last outbreak of the same kind,
but when is the end to come? How
is Mexico to be made a fit neigh
bor for a self-respecting and order
ly nation? Who can guarantee the
United States reasonable freedom
from Mexican complications of the
gravest nature?
AS TO COTTON
Souther* planters and Southern
business men are much worried
about the market for American cot
ton. They do not see how buyers
can be found for the millleus of
bales which they have been accus
tomed to sell to Germany, Aus
tria und Prance.
A good deal of this cotton which
goes to German, French and Aus
trian mills comcs back to the Unit
ed States In the form of cotton
fabrics. More of It finally reaches
consumers in South America,
China, Mexico, the East Indies and
other parts of the world still out
side of the war zone.
The demand for cotton goods
from these markets will not be
stopped by the conditions which
have paralyzed the export trade
of great German, Austrian and
Frerv' ^manufacturing industries.
It *2 te satisfied by Ameri
can mills and by increased produc
tion iu the mills of Great Britain,
Spain, Italy and othre countries
with open ports and normal, Or
nearly normal industrial condi
tions.
The cotton used will come from ■
the United States, wherever the
weaving and kultting may be done.
The world mast have the Ameri
can crop of cotton, even when an
unprecedented war is raging.

Compel Parents to Visit Schools Attend
ed bu Their Children
By EDWARD C. ELLIOTT, Director Teachers' Training Course,
University of Wisconsin
IT.is my best judgment, formed after manv years of study of schools
and communities, that one of the greatest needs of education today
is the regular attendance of individual parents irjion the school. Jf
this were the case itr is certain that the GREAT MAJORITY OE
MISUNDERSTANDINGS BETWEEN TEACHERS AND PUPILS
WOULD DISAPPEAR, and. particularly jjII of the misunderstandings
between teachers and parents would Lie done away with.
IT SHOULD BE SAID TO PARENTS: MUCH OF THE EFFORTS OF
SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS IS WASTED BECAUSE THE SCHOOL AND
THE TEACHERS DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR CHILDREN. YOUR
PRINCIPAL SCHOOL BUSINESS IS TO SEE THAT THE TEACHERS DO
UNDERSTAND YOUR CHILDREN.
There will be little profitable co-operation between schools and homes
until parents actually get into the schools attended by their children.
We Americans arc apt to be talking about schools and at the same time
have too little first hand knowledge about the schools. The NEXT
STEP IN COMPULSORY EDUCATION. SHOULD BE TAKEN IN
THE DIRECTION1 OF PARENTS, one of whom should lie obliged to
attend the school of their children at least'one half day each'month.
