for practice teaching during the
summer in each of the elementary
grades.
This college has always main
tained the same high standard of
work In the summer school as dur
ing the other quarters of the school
yeart, and many teachers who are
already employed avail themselves
during the summer of the oppor

graduation from a regular college
course.

unsettled condition of the educa
tional machinery in the state* he
believes the Summer school East

enrollments at the present date for
the summer school are in excess
of the number in hand at the cor

been making very careful plans far

THE PEACETIME
COST -OF WAR
The whole subject of war and its
cost has been brought tnto the
arena of public discussion in the
United States as a result of the
recent meeting of the International
Chamber of Commerce in Washing
ton. As' is always the case when
the subject Is discussed, everybody
agreed that all nations are spending
too much money on their military
and naval establishments, but_ no
body was willing to commit' his
own country to a reduction in this
terrific charge upon the taxpayers.
President Hoover, however, took
the first step by summoning the

Secretary "of War and the Chief of
Staff" of the Army into conference
and asking them to figure out ways
whereby the cost of maintaining
the military establishment of the
pfiited States can be reduced with
out Impairing ltt efficiency. This is
a move in a direction which mot\
Americans will commend. There is
no doObt in- the- world. In our own
minds, that we are a peace-loving
nation. The peoples and govern
ments of other countries do not al
ways believe us when we say that,
but every American knows that it
is true. -*r- Hoover, by reason of
his Quaker birth and upbringing, Is
naturally opposed to war as the
mean* of settling International dis
putes. And it is reported that .he
found the heads of the Army In ac
cord with his desire for economy.
The money spent by the War De
partment. In time of peace, is. of
course, very largely for internal
Improvements. The development
and dredging of harbors, the build
ing of bridges, everything that has
to do with keeping navigable rivers
in their channels, and many other
government engineering projects,
are carried out by army engineers.
There is no Idea "of cutting down on
any at these activities, which _ are
now providing employment for tens
of thousands of men who would
otherwise, perhaps, be out of jobs
Nor Is It planned, according to the
Information from Washington, tc
reduce the army personnel. But
there are expenditures in connec
tion with the upkeep of the mili
tary establishment which, it Is be
lieved, can be reduced or suspended
to result In a saving <Jf between
$300,000,000 and $400,000,000 a year.
Such a Saving would go a Ions
way toward making up the nation':
billion-dollar deficit, and it would
also be a gesture toward the, resl
of the world In the way of p"rool
that we have no immediate war
like aims.
