BACK TO NORMALCY IN THE SCHOOLS “There is no royal road to learning today an y more than there was in the days o f old,\ says John P. Murray of the X e w Jersey State Board of Educa tion, in commenting upon the alleged fact th a t \one-third of Xew Jersey tfae poln(. w]lere thig matter of radical. thought to be old-fashioned, ultra- conservative. Perliaps, however, mak ing all allowances, for shades of pro portions in various types, the very fact that some men in ray state* are somewhat detached from the clamor of the market-place may be tbe reason why they have an unbiased sense of the relative values of things, get a little truer perspective on some no tions and practices, and that, too, ■without posing as ’wiser-than-thou.’ ‘‘I am not yet persuaded that the majority of the voters of this country in either party want this government to take up state socialism or to be even in peril of it. Yet what we are I doing day by day is nothing less, no matter if we do call It by another name. And we go on, year in and year out, making campaigns by appealing to the greed of a clamorous multitude, making all kinds of promises to do this, that, and the other thing by way of class legislation If we are only continued in power. Because some other fellows go a step farther than we along this very line, we call them ‘radicals;’ but we are fast getting to THREE GUARD UNITS ENTRAIN IN MORNING FOR PEEKSKILL CAMP General Jennings and Members of Staff Go Ahead By Motor—Busy Round for Soldiers During Training Period high school graduates do not know the three R ’s.” How true It is that there ie \no royal road to learning” is amply demonstrated by the breakdown of the educational system and the failure of fads i n the schools to ground boys and girls in the ability to ‘‘spell common words o r add, subtract or divide.” “Enriched curriculums\ have not produced in the average ease grad uates competent to meet the most ordi nary problems of ordinary business, Mr. M u r r a y ’s assertion that ‘'business men have come to regard high school diplomas as scraps of paper,” is a sweeping indictment that no doubt will be accepted with 6ome reserve. The melancholy fact is that to a de gree a t least it may be substantiated right here in Auburn, on the say-so of local business men. In fact, tbe New Jersey commis sioner's assertions reflect in a general way m u c h that has already been said ind printed here regarding the failure cl fads and fancies in the local school system to educate young men and women for their life’s work. His ex perience is more or less borne out by Auburn experience. Sir. Murray par ticularizes regarding New Jersey; dur ing the school-election campaign of last spring and the spring before local men particularized regarding the situation in our own schools. This brings the case much nearer home than Xew Jersey. Xor are Xew Jersey and Auburn alone in discover ing these outstanding weaknesses of the educational system. Prominent educators\ in various parts of the country, including the head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advance ment o f Teaching, have called atten tion to them, in no uncertain terms. Dr. H e n ry Smith Pritchett, president of the i'oun'dation, went so far as to assert th a t “the striking characteristic oI our schools under tbe process of en richment of the curriculum is super ficiality, coupled with tremendously- rising cost.” He asserted further that ‘‘rarely can one find an American boy who know s his own language in any such w a y as the English boy, trained in the somewhat classical conception, knows the language.” The language of the average high school boy in this country undoubtedly is the polyglot slang vernacular of the street. And what applies to tlie average boy ap plies to the average girl. Xew Jersey has been erecting elabo rate school buildings, but—\thorough ness in the schools has waned ” In the schools the attempt has been made to teach something else than could be put to every-day use. or if it was for every-day use, something the high school could not possibly tearh with sufficient thoroughness to make the knowledge effectual Doctor Pritchett observes that the attempt to inoulonto the sdencn of advert .'ins n t!,o secondary schools, for example l- ' failure . because the boy does n • I learn advancing a.ul further hem s. ! the averagf* American boy riooa nor need to know about adver'isin: The p<> nr is thnt precisely what Mr Murray ^ * 1 '::^ like to spp dene tn Xew Jers, v 5'^ools.- to see them ”e ston’d, fhat ’« to 'heir legitimate jo ' ! of im p a rting a practical education. i* what existing seho.il auth.'-rie« have set m-A to a'eomplish in Aubu-n They m a y • uhe.iv succerci it :s too much to pxpn. * tva- , pend’.ium «hi. h has fur thp other way w U at on<-^» 2g hirK jn normaVv ti 1 dv Lave escouEt-red m.iny obsur'p*. and some r.ppos.t'on from peopv n-h'. should be- with them But a' ;«asr ^hev ha~e madp progress in rprrain well-denned directions It is =tf.; run-h t«> 62 4 ly to pOi-s on the ultimate re sult fo r making a sfart. at ir-ast, Au bum nas thora to rhnnk ism i3 simply a difference of degree and not of kind. “I believe we can make a success ful appeal to the sober common sense of men enough to make up a majority of the voters, if instead of promising what we will do if we get the gov ernment or hold it, we turn squarely about and promise what we W ILL NOT PERMIT TO B E DOXE. “I say that, down underneath all the noise and fret, there is a strong element of our people that is not eager to have our government extended but is anxious to have it saved.\ J 1 OFFICE £AT By Junius Don’t thinfc you are Swift, just be cause you’re a ham Don your Ar mour and do your Veribest. Parents are getting so they mind their children better and better every day. For a good many thousands of years human beings have been astonished at the weather. Auburn officers and men of the Xa- tional Guard were \all set” today for an early morning start tomorrow to the training camp at Peekskill, .where, for two weeks, they will live the life of soldiers. (Intensive training will pre vail, with a busy- round each day from dawn to dark. Brig. Gen. Edgar S. Jennings and his staff, including Capt. Charles D. Os borne aud Lieut. James A. Wright of Auburn, left this morning by motor for Peekskill, where the camp has been prepared by the advance details from the advance details from the various companies of the lOSth Regiment. Mn- jor Frederick S. Jphnston will leave for camp tomorrow. The Auburn units will leave tfi's Armory at 7 :4a o’clock daylight saving time, tomorrow 'morning, to march to the New York Central Station, where they will board a special train. The train will be made up at Geneva and will carry the Auburn, Geneva, and Syracuse outfits. It will reach Auburn at 7 :45 and leave at S :lo o’clock giving time for getting the luggage aboard, ns well as for taking on the troops. The train is due to reach Roahook, the nearest railroad station to Peeks kill, at 3:45 o’clock 'tomorrow after noon. The troops will march from that station to the camp. It is ex pected that they will find the camp well prepared when they arrive. Capt. B. M. Roberts w ill command Company 1; Capt. Frederick W. An drews will head the Service Company, and Lieut C. Earl Race the Head quarters Company. The Auburaians will form a part of the National Guard outfits which will make up the big camp at Peekskill. They will bear their part in all of the work and fun whioh fit men for the duties of p e a c e or war. For many of those who make the trip, it will be in the nature of an,annual vacation, rig orous but vastly different from the routine of office, shop or street. The advance party selected from the Auburn companies left this city for Peekskill yesterday afternoon Company I, the Service Company aud HeadQuarters Compauy were repre- sented in the ‘ group selected to go ahead of the main body of the Guardsmen. At the Armory today, there was a military stir and a swing of army- like precision as the final preparations for entraining were made. Everything was put in the proper shape for the trip, with the needs of the “dough boys’ ” stomachs by no means over looked. About 200 will go with the units from here. They will return August 12.' Kain Halts Range Practice. A number of the guardsmen of the three companies stationed at the lo cal Armory had planned to1 go out on the Throop range today . and make a day of it for rifle practice. The men wanted to get into shape for the two weeks’ training at Peekskill. The weather man, however, spoiled the plaus and the men were forced to stay at home on the last day before leaving for camp. The Armory appears as a store house this morning. Trunks, boxes, kits and blanket rolls have been packed and by noon nearly everything was ready for the train baggage car. It was given out at the Armory to day that the rolling kitchen w ill be taken to camp, although kitchen equipment is now a permanent part of bhe Peekskill camp. The rolling kitchen will be taken, however, so that while on an all-day hike the men can receive hot food for their meals. Tlie kitchen, on these hikes w ill be pulled by mules.

Against this dismemberment of the empire must be set the creation of a nationalist Turkish republic. The old Turkey never had a nationalist gov ernment. Angora's heroic struggle for existence made Turkey a nation. That nation was in danger for a time of being crowded off the map. But divi sions among the Allies and the genius of Mustapha Kemal saved it, ICemal and Ismet are the two fathers of the republic. The Lausanne conference paid an unavoidable tribute to their work. The Turk is back again in Constan tinople and has recovered Western Thrace. That is the most important concession made to him at Lausanne. He returned to (he Bosphorus because the time was not really ripe to oust him and to transfer that key point to other hands. The Sevres treaty con templated a Greek tennney—Greece under Venizeios to be the agent of the Western Allies aud practically the agent of Great Britain, the greatest of the European sea powers. That was the dream of the Llo\d Georgian diplomacy. Two men spoiled it—Con stantine, with his inopportune restora tion intrusion and Kemal, with his reorganized Turkish Army. , When the Greeks were driven to the Aegean coast the idea of altering the status of Constantinople had to be abandoned British policy in the Near East suffered thereby one of its sever est setbacks Xearly all the sur renders to Iniet grew out of the fact thnt the momentous redistribution of power in the Xear East contemplated in the Sevres treaty had become im practicable Turkey is invited back to Europe and is asked to entpr the League of Xations for the reason that she is still to count, as a nation, although a small o i i p The conference having faced the consequences of that invitation in the territorial «etticment could not well avoid facing them in other settlements The capi’ulations were abandoned be cause a'thoush the old Turkey was complacent toward thsm and had orig inal.y welcomed the new Turkey found tl’.pm rppusnant to its awakened sense of nationality Pence w-,s needed iu the Xear East and thp Western powers were willing to pay for it Ismet's diplomatic vic- torv lay in making rhem pay a good dea’ more than they seemed inclined to y.e’d seven or eight months ago.
