special subjects. Instead we have ex-
tended the time of the school day from
five hours to seven. This additional
time they spend in school keeps them
from the strdet and alley where they
are liable to develop bad habits.
Pictures Shown
Pictures were shown of scholars
working in these shops and also :n
the physical laboratories. "Children
have a natural desire to experiment
and if this is developed they will not
lose it as they grow older," explained
Mr. Wirt. "Of course young children
cannot be trustedl to work alone with
chemicals but older students who have
nearly completed courses in chemis-
try help and direct them in perform-
ing the experiments.'

Lands Republicans
"Republicans in Congress since the
entry of the United States into the
war have sought to serve their party
only by making it serve America,"
Colonel Roosevelt said in his introduc-
tory remarks. - "Not in all our history
has any political party, when in op-
pdsition, shown as fine, as whole-
hearted and as completely disinterest-
ed patriotism as has been shown by
the republican party, especially by its
representatives in the 'Senate and Con-
gress of the United States during the
year and two months now closing.
"This is the people's war. It is not
the President's war. It is not Con-
gress' war. tI is the duty of the re-
publican party to stand like a rock
against inefficiency, incompetence,
hesitation and delay "no less than
against lukewarmness in serving the
common cause of ourselves and our
allies. To support a public servant
who does wrong is as profoundly un-
patriotic as to oppose a public servant
who does right."
