INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION If plans now being formed are completed, it is likely that the United States will be host to an international education conference in 1923. It will be held under the auspices of the National Education association. President Harding has already been asked to extend an invitation to all the powers represented at the arms conference, and other nations will be invited later. The association aims to follow up the work of the arms conference by developing among the children of each nation right attitude toward the other nations. The possibilities for good of such conference are great. The civilized world, with all its boasted progress and advancement, has already begun to work in the field of true education might education should develop an appreciation of the value and the inherited gifts of other nations. It should foster a great tolerance of the rights and privileges of individual nations and an appreciation of the common good of all. It is just these things in the lives of individuals which make for peacable, friendly neighborhoods. Some of the means proposed to achieve these ends are obviously needed reforms such as the organization of text book material to give unbiased, accurate accounts of the history and present mode of life of different nations. For the same purpose educators urge a freer exchange of scholarships and teachers among foreign lands, the teaching of international civics and a program looking to universal education. If it succeeds in making nations to the utilization of this dynamic force of education, the proposed conference will be of the utmost importance. A GREAT STEP FORWARD drab commonplaceness of everyday drudgery. One need not read it by the hundred pages at each sitting. One fugitive selection; twenty lines or fifty lines, may suffice for a day. Choose what you will, to suit your mood. But choose from the masterpieces. There is an almost limitless field from which to make selection. One may fit every state of mind. Poetry is the flower-garden of the field of literature. It has the fragrance that entralls the senses. It exudes the perfume of tripping fancy and sounds the lilting melody of brooks and birds and zephyrs. It transports one and makes more alert of mind, more appreciative of spirit, more nearly enraptory with all that is good and noble and true and beautiful. MAILS NOW AUTHORIZED FOR PLANT IMPORTATION Decision to allow the use of the mails in the importation of plants and seeds under special permits, regulation 14, quarantine 37, has been reached by the federal horticultural board of the United States department of agriculture. Heretofore importations of plants for propagation, except field, vegetable, and flower seeds, and importations made by the department, were permitted only by express or freight. Importations made under special permit necessarily are addressed to the board either at Washington, D.C., or at the Ferry Building, San Francisco, Calif., and pass through the inspection offices of the board at these points, where they are inspected and safeguarded by the agents of the board. In view of this, it was believed to be safe and desirable to extend the privilege of importation through the mails to such shipments. Permission for using the mails in this way will hereafter be authorized. It may have a chance on a situation. It has been said good gesture if it admit immediate their government holiday plan with "splendid gesture peace." One wakes a plitty from that they did not splendid gesture.

They will have further agreed that in case of disagreement respecting these rights, not settled by ordinary diplomatic matters, a joint conference of the four powers shall be convened, which will be expected to adjust the difficulty. In other words, these nations, which are the only nations having important interests in these islands, have agreed not to go to war about them. The agreement is for ten years and to continue indefinitely thereafter, unless some nation withdraws upon twelve months' notice. Article two, referring to possible aggressive action by another power, was put in to please somebody. There is not, and is not likely to be, any other power which will make trouble. The agreement does not delimit, or even name, a single "right." There is all the opportunity for disputes than ever there was. The one step forward which has been made is that the four nations will not go to war with each other over their insular possessions, for it is certain that if time is taken to convene and hold a conference the people of the four nations can be relied on to prevent war. READ REAL POETRY Do not become so busy or abstracted as to neglect to read poetry. It is an enlivening feast for the soul. It quickens the fancy. It fires the imagination. It lifts one out of the dullness.

It has been said that "it would be a good gesture if the delegates were to admit immediately that they approve the matter subject to the sanction of their government." The Hughes naval holiday plan was referred to as a "splendid gesture in the interest or peace." One writer had it that "it is a pitty from their own point of view that they did not announce it with a splendid gesture." A PLACE TO BEGIN The Atlantic Monthly publishes the following letter from the prime possumist of the universe: "Dear Atlantic: Am wondering whether you will be interested in a 3000-word article on 'Must Human Propagation Continue?' In a thorough discussion of the subject I suggest the thought that the numerous troubles in the world will cease, and its great problems be solved, only by a cessation of multiplication, sorrow and death be at an end, and the earth itself be better off without human beings. Very truly yours." What a grand place this chap must feel the moon to be! How he must gaze with unabated joy upon its barren plains and dead, volcanic mountains! What bliss supreme it must be for him to contemplate the windswept sands of the burning Sahara, the bleak pampas of Patagonia or the frozen, silent places of the frigid north. For a thorough appreciation of what the earth might become bereft of men and the luxuries and comforts they have wrought for their pleasure and well-being we recommend the Atlantic's correspondent take up his residence for a year or more in the pleasant precincts of Death valley. As for curing the evils of the world by the method suggested, any mortality department clerk will be able to WHY REALTY The Anaheim Realty Board was organized directly put, several definite purposes, among them: "To secure for its members the benefit of its members that the evils and annoyance connected with them are alleviated; to promote good fellowship and fair deal in general from irresponsible, unprincipient engagement of legislation for the protection of property; TO DO ALL ELSE IN ITS POWER with dignity and the dignity of the business of dealing support to the State Realty Law, and to secure for their subject the welfare of the City of ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA generally. "One of the first duties of Real Estate Broker is to be associated together in a Realty Board.ognition of mutual interests. Holding of frequent welfare of the individual Broker is greatly essential. IT IS ALSO FOUND THAT IN ASSOCIATE TAGONISM MELT AWAY AND ARE REPRESENTENCE AND GOOD FELLOWSHIP." PERSHING'S MODESTY When the naval row over the award of war decorations is recalled the refusal of General Pershing to accept either a medal of honor or a distinguished service cross is especially notable. Having declined the original proposal to honor him with a medal or honor for his personal courage in leading his men against the Moros in 1915, the army board hoped he would accept the lesser honor of the distinguished service cross and arranged to have the secretary of war bestow it at surprise party. The general heard of it and forestalled the intention, declaring he "did not consider his action measured up to the high standards set by the American expeditionary force, and that he had suspended hundreds of recommendations for the cross based on acts more deserving than his own." It would be well if awards of military and naval decorations were always premised on the exalted standard held by General Pershing. Lack of proper discrimination in such matters must cheapen the award, which should always be guarded against. At the same time it is a remarkable commentary upon the process of military routine that General Pershing's act in the campaign against the Moros should have had to await so long for the proposed recognition. OLD-TIME SUNDAYS There is a touch of pathos in the lament of a Kentucky man in the Washington Post over the departed charn. of the old-fashioned Sunday. To his mind, the phrase "all dressed up in their Sunday best" was something more than a mere matter of clothes. IN WINTER Do you remember these gray woods forlorn That lie so empty neath the ashen skies, Their far-off faded beauty that is gone? Do they recall the ancient ecstasies Of whispering leaf, and grass, and censor flowers. Of litting brook and bird-song the hours— The glory of the the passing this year? What loveliness may hold the speaking year; What beauty stay the passage of the hours? A little space of glamour, and the clear Clean sweetness of the long days gemmed with flowers And nights of silver dreams and ecstasies And youth—and then so swiftly it is gone; And memory broods beneath the leaden skies And walks old ways, forsaken and HEALTH EDUCATION That education is one essential to the development of public health is emphasized in the bulletin of the California state board of health. A law, a health officer and a placard tacked on the door are not enough to stop contagious diseases. The whole community needs to know something about the cause of the disease and about preventive measures as well as about treatment and cure. One city health officer maintains that 95 per cent of diphtheria in this country could be prevented if public ignorance could only be changed to knowledge of the protective methods to be used against it. There are many evidences that education in public health is making steady progress. Local health departments and officials' are nearly always to be found on the side of education and prevention. Other welfare agencies and public schools are carrying on the program with a real spirit of co-operation and an amazing amount of ingenuity in popularizing the subject. Statistics have been presented which show that all this work is bearing fruit in the actual decrease in men. OLD-TIME SUNDAYS There is a touch of pathos in the lament of a Kentucky man in the Washington Post over the departed charm of the old-fashioned Sunday. To his mind, the phrase "all dressed up in their Sunday best" was something more than a mere matter of clothes. It was really symbolic of the different attitude of the people of some years ago to the Sundays of their era. According to the Kentucky man, the old-fashioned distinctiveness about Sunday has largely faded away because people are "dressed up" all the time nowadays, just as places that are open on week days are likewise open on Sundays. Without advocating blue laws or anything of that kind, the commentator thinks it would be better if Sunday were "really an event, a sweet, wholesome occasion," the way it used to be. The Kentucky man has certainly known Sundays in which he says everybody forgot the care of the workaday world and entered into the spirit of worship and good fellowship. But the change from such days is due to something else besides the tendency of people to be better dressed, or to keep their shops open seven days a week, says the Christian Science Monitor. There are different racial elements involved in the matter from those common to the Sundays in old Kentucky. Experience is a great teacher, but it has nothing that way on the lack of experience. The love of money may be the root of all evil, but money itself is the off of much joy. What beauty stay the passage of the hours? A little space of glamour, and the clear Clean sweetness of the long days gemmed with flowers And nights of silver dreams and ecstasies And youth—and then so swiftly it is gone; And memory broods beneath the leaden skies And walks old ways, forsaken and forlorn. CHRISTIANIZING THE WORLD In the task of Christianizing the world the all-important thing is to make Christians—not particular kinds of Christians. So declared an eminent churchman a few days ago. He asserted the aim and purpose of the church should be to develop Christian character rather than to encourage sectarian views. Commenting on individual work at the various churches he said the greatest good could be accomplished only when these churches come to realize that all efforts must be made with due regard for the effort of other Christians. Unquestionably the world needs the influence of the church. As to how that influence can best be exerted the layman is in no position to say. It is the business of all churches to establish as nearly as may be the kingdom of God on earth and it would seem to be the part of logic that efforts should be concentrated where they will count most toward a Christian world. A "society leader" is so called because she leads her husband around by the nose. ELECTRICITY ON FARMS California farmers, make use of more electrical power than all the agriculturalists in the remaining states of the country. The $40,000,000 worth of tractors in use on California farms place the state in first position in regard to mechanical appliances. The California farmer makes better use of his machinery than the farmer in any other state. L. J. Fletcher, head of the engineering department of the university farm Davis, made these statements to six five members of the Tustin farm center at a meeting held in its grammar school there Friday evening. Fletcher traced the advance in this use of mechanical power plants, and said that with two per cent of the total known supply of coal used up to the present time, there should be no fear of a lack of fuel. He recommended the use of coal by-products for internal combustion engine fuel and told of the advisability of using benzol. The one who is fond of repeating that "all fools are not dead yet, knows of one that isn't."
