"Second Lieutenant William B
Moore- On June (i. 1IU8. he volun
teered and took a truckload of am
munition and material into the town
of Bouresches over a road swept by
artillery and machine gun tire, thereby
relieving a critical situation."
History of this sort does not use ad
jectives. It is written from the field
of blood and iron where description
is a pathetic thing. When Pershing

Great Responsibility of the High School
for Many American Ideals
Br AURELIA HENRY REINHART
Lreudanl of Malta C v'llagr, Oakland, Cal.
’I he high school is not yet crystallized. The length of its course is
still unsettled, varying from three to eight years. The number and kind
of its departments differ widely. Curricula vurv largely. The require
ments for graduation are changing. The high school is striving to meet
the most important demands today in modern public education. It is a
good thing that the high school is thus in a state of tlui. It bodes well
for our future.
Wlmt, then, is the definite relation between this evolving institution
and the formulation and inculcation of American ideals in American
children in their teens? American high schools are using, more now
than ever, American content in literature and history. At the same time,
while we thus teach nationalism, we must maintain a proper perspective
by 11 in study of the language, art and literature of other peoples. Mental
isolation is fatal. In the eighteenth century men generalizing broadiv
expressed their ideals oratorieally. Today, while in spirit we still erv,
“Live me liberty or give me death,” we express our ideals ever more
simply, soberly and concretely. We are the outcome of a noble past; »e
come of a people of large ambitions ami large nppnrtunithhut todav
our life is becoming more intensive, and each one must do his part with
less waste and greater efficiency. Eternal vigilance for the preservation
of the large view and the wide perspective is necessary to preserve the
individual essential .-anitv of mind and nobleness of attitude toward life.
In all si ■bools, in all variations of all schools, there are two st.iblv
factors: lir.-t, the open-minded teacher, so trulv patriotic that he ie
not talk about it and so patient that he strives ever to lift up the iu
di■ 111 to the best American ideals; second, the oncoming generations that
are to he future American citizens. It is the chief business of the pualie
sc bool to provide an atmosphere and environment in which the tine per
sonality of the teacher may bust develop an intelligent world-enlightened
patriotism in the minds of American youth.

Merely Cutting Down Courses in No
Sense Lessens Food Consumption
Bjr HARRIET CULVER
Returning again ami again, as we must, to the subject of eonser.a
lion, we liml that, ufter all, we are returning rapidly to the norm.
The period of fads seems to lie passing and the wheels are slipping
if not back into the old ruts, at least back where the going is smoother.
There’s the matter of the course dinner, for instance. The elimina
tion of superlluous courses seemed the most patriotic tiling imaginable
a few months ago and the hostess who dared to serve a one-course dinner
instead of three or four courses was dubbed at once one of our most
patriotic of women.
But now even the government sees that merely cutting down the
number of courses in no sense lessens consumption, but does, as a matter
of fact, really increase the consumption of the very foods we are trying
hardest to conserve.
Our soldiers may have a penchant for hors d’eeuvres, but the govern
ment eoniinissiiriat countenances no sujji frills, and we presume that
they eventually become contented with their restricted but substantial
menus.
So, when wishing to ape government simplicity, we also cut out hors
d’umvre, what do we do? Show our patriotism ? By no means. We make
a still greater demand upon the substuntials which the government sorely
needs a monopoly of in so far as is possible.
It has been shown that small course meals actually increase the con
sumption of n eat and wheat by .tit per cent because restricted meals do
not so readily satisfy and thus extra portions are called for.
Let us, then, if we would be up and doing in true copybook style,
: go back to the courses that dally with lobster and terrapin and duck,
game and sea foods, because by so doing we will be lessening our demand
for the staples which the army must and will have. We will be just as good
patriots as we were before the war and we'll be steadying market condi
tions as well.
Resides, we all have a weakness for a varied diet anyway, and it’s
such a comfort to know we can indulge our palates ad lib., as it were.
