MILLIONS NOT IN
Dr. John T. Tlgert, United State#
commissioner of education, in ad-'
drewlng the National Education as-
sociation declared that there are
more than 7,000 children, of rea-
aonable school age, In the United
States who are hot enrolled In any
school. Presumably the couimis
sloner, with th« facts and figure*
available for tils reference, knows
lelve*^ the
the/Rsv*
what he
ssema a large number of boys and
girls out of school who ought to be
in school—a prodigiously erroneous
phoportion of American receiving no
training for future citizenship. The
argument in favor of education of
the coming citizens—and now th«
women as well as the men will hi
in full possession of the rights and
liable for the same responsibilities
sis the men—need not be recounted
and re-emphasized.
[The pertinent suggestion is "What
-dtfhb.gbout this condition?”
doiumunitles, the slates and the ba-
stion are at fault, in, a degree; they
have taken upon themselv
duty of popular education,
in many cases passed compulsory ed-
ucation laws; they have provided
means of education in a -way. The
community and the stats and the
nation, co-operating, can do more
than they have hitherto doney they
can provide better teachers and
pay them mqre and thoe build up a
better, strodger force for teaching;
they can da much in a systematic
way to enco|rag^tbe people to''take
full advantage of the opportunities
off eyed; they can pssa more strin-
gent laths ta compel school attend-
ance and they can more thoroughly
enforce those laws.
But the community, the state and
the nation are not alone to blame
for the 7,000,000 children out pf
school and growing up in Ignorance.

Have you felt, along about this
tlm« of year ,any symptoms of ’(he
kind Eugene Feld described several
years ago when he wrote:
It seems to me I’d like to go > .'l*'%
Where bells don’t , ring, nor whistles
blow,
Nor clocks don’t strike, nor gongs
don’t sound,
And I’d have stillness all around,
Not real stillness, but Just the trees'
Low whisperings, or tbe hum of
bees, '
Or brooks’ faint bubbling over stones
In Btrangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe a cricket or a katydid.
Or the song of btrds in hedges hid,
OrNmt Stpch sweet sounds as these
To fllTUffe tired heart with ease.
If 'tweren’t for sight and sound and
smell
I’d like a City pretty well,
But when It comes to getting rest
,1 like tbe eountry lots the best,
Sometimes it seems to me I must
Just quit the clty’f din and dust
And "get out wher# the sky Is blue;
And say, how does it seem to ydu?

Worst Stage of Financial De-
pression Believed to Have
Passed —- Loan Success.
'By KlILtai W. VAUGHN.
United Press M«* (^respondent.
IHo do Janerlo, July id. •—'it is
the general opinion in well informed
business circles that the worst stage
of the present financial and commer-
cial crisis in Brazil has been passed,
and that conditions * from now on
will show a gradual Improvement un-
til a new and stable basis for inter-
national commercial relations is
reaphed.
Several ‘ factors have contributed
to the recent ripples of optimism in
commercial circles. The success "of
the 125,000,000 Brazilian loan, Just
floated in New^ York Is, of course,
the most gratifying Indication. Com-
mercial circles here interpret the
tact that the loan was oversubscrib-
ed in three Itours as a proof'that the
foreign credit of the republic is still
sound in the United States.
The slight Improvement ih ex-
change, resulting from the loan, and
tbe gradual Increase in the price of
coffee also have provided ammuni-
tion for optimists.
The present crisis apparently is
affecting the northern states worse
than jny other district. Dispatches
from Para and Pednambuco declare
that the rubber and cocoa markets
virtually hqve disappeared—offer-
ings finding few buyers at any price.
In Sao Paulo the "Bulwark of the
Nation.’’ the critical condition has
been aggravated by the recent cattle
plague, which has necessitated the
kilting of hundreds of valuable ani-
mals and has ruined some farmers.
’ American meat packing companies,
which now are operating extensively
in Bao Paulo and Rio Grande de Sul,
have begp especially hard hit, since
embargoes stopped all export ship-
ments and butchering had to be sus-
pended.
However' the optimists declare that
so- the “Rinderpest” now is virtually
stamped out, the coffee markets im-
proving, the foreign credit of the
rountry established and that all
*i?ns point to a gradual business re-
covery.

Tliey are more adaptable than are

Since America has' built a great
