"I Can Work Without WorryingIf Sickness Comes, My Income Will Not Stop" What a wonderful thing it is to be able to say "I can work without worrying." Worry kills more people than any physical malady. It dogs their steps through life, reduces their efficiency, deprives them of the joy of working, and finally cuts them off ten or fifteen years before their respective allotments. ..... How remarkable it is, then, to find a simple plan, as this Teacher did, by which one may work without worrying. Read what Mrs. Trackett, of North Fond du Lac, Wis., last spring wrote to the T. C. U.: Gentlemen Twice during this severe winter I needed the aid of the T. C U., because I have a family depending on me for support. I am most grateful to the friend through whom I joined it. I can work without worrying, knowing certainly that if sickness does come, my income will not stop. The Teachers Casualty Underwriters is a National Organization of Teachers for Teachers.

NOV 19 917 'HE PRESENT CRITICAL state of the world has brought about a much greater interest in the study of history. We are gradually getting a new perspective on events of the past. Opinion in regard to many of them is changing. Of special significance, therefore, is the publication of a new history by such an eminent authority as Albert Bushnell Hart.

Outside of Massachusetts, where interest centred in the adoption by a large majority of the "anti-aid" amendment to the State Constitution, which forbids the use of public money for any institution not under public control; and the New York City election, which in a quadrangular mayoralty places an excellent Mayor and brings Tammany back into full control; the in the matters of most in New elections were the suffrage York upon a amendment to the State Constitution, and in Ohio contest moment and prohibition. To New surprise, upon against the advancing Germans was AN AGREEMENT WITH first One of the most important incidents in recent diplomacy is the agreement which has been reached between the United States and Japan with reference to China. By the terms of this agreement Japan disclaims any intention "to infringe in any way upon the independence or territorial integrity of China," and declares her firm adherence to "the principle of the so-called 'open door' or equal opportunity for commerce and industry in China." On the other hand, the United States acknowledges that Japan has special interests in China, and both governments recognize "that territorial propinquity creates special relations between countries." This is, in effect, a recognition of the Monroe doctrine on the part of Japan, so far as our relations with Mexico and Latin America are concerned; and an extension of the Monroe doctrine to the Pacific, so far as the relations of Japan to China are concerned. This agreement, kept in good faith, will baffle German intrigues in the Far East, THE FIRST TRENCH FIGHT- and will lay the spectre of possible war between Japan and the United States. ING. over THE MENACE FROM ENEMY ALIENS. The United States has had its first war list of killed and wounded in actual fighting on the western front. A small detachment of American infantrymen, which had been only The need of more consistent and a few days in the front line trenches, energetic treatment of enemy aliens was attacked by a greatly superior is coming to be realized.

Following close upon in the official announcement of this fighting, and the names of the soldiers killed, wounded and missing, came official news of the sinking of the American patrol boat Alcedo, in the war zone, by a submari..e, and the names of one officer and twenty enlisted men missing, out of a crew of seven officers and eightyfive men. These two incidents, one week, are reminders—if were needed-that we are in a real war. suffrage How was the general York, which defeated a suffrage amendment by a majority of nearly 195,000 only two years ago, adopted it this year by a majority of about 90,000. far this change of attitude brought about through President Wilson's influence, and how far it was due to the large increase in the Socialist vote are matters of conjecture.

The hope that General Cadorna might find it practicable to hold almost daily explosions in munition factories. It is clear that the American government and people cannot allow all this to go on with good-natured indifference. Not every man who bears a German name is a just object of suspicion; but a good many of them are. We are at war; and we must defend ourselves against the foes of our own household as well as those who are fighting in the open. The conditions plainly call for a more general internment of enemy aliens, and especially for their removal from the coast, where their treachery and malevolence are most threatening.

This Teacher Was Drafted by Sickness Your Turn Next Fate and Time Are Drafting An Ohio Teacher writes: This Teacher Was Drafted by Accident An Iowa Teacher writes: "I wish to express my thanks to the T. C. U. for its promptness and fairness in settling my claim for injuries received in an automobile accident. I also appreciated the sympathy.that you offered and the interest you took in my case. Accidents are expensive, especially when occurring away from home, and the benefits of this insurance were gratefully received." This Teacher Was Drafted by Quarantine An Illinois Teacher writes: "I wish to thank you most heartily for the prompt and cheerful payment of my claim. A number of my teacher friends have been interested in knowing whether your company would really pay for quarantine. Many of them had never heard of such an insurance before, and since my check has come, several have inquired more closely into your plan."

Building NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST ARE USING AND COMMENDING THE WALSH-SUZZALLO ARITHMETICS Stephen S. Colvin, Prof. of Educational Psychology, Brown University, Providence, R. I.: They are a distinct contribution to the teaching of this subject. Miriam S. Skidmore, State Normal School, Willimantic, Conn.: The plan of the books is especially to be commended as all the essentials of arithmetic are taught in six years, and Book III makes such practical applications of them. W. A. Maddox, Principal, State Normal School, Oswego, N. Y.: They are nearer our needs than any series I have examined. Ann E. Pierce, Dean of Women, State College for Teachers, Albany, N. Y.: They are full of splendid suggestions of method and material for the teaching of arithmetic, and are proving very helpful to me in the course in methods which I am presenting. Chas. Fordyce, Dean, Teachers College, University of Nebraska: I regard the Walsh-Suzzallo Arithmetics as the best contribution on the subject. We use them in our Teachers College. Ellwood P. Cubberley, Prof. of Education, Stan-· ford University, Cal.: The old Walsh series was good, but Professor Suzzallo's revision is better. J. F. Guy, Dept. of Mathematics, Pittsburgh Training School, Pittsburgh, Pa.: To my mind the Walsh-Suzzallo Arithmetics are the first really modern books in arithmetic that I have seen. Helen Giliss, National Cathedral School for Girls, Washington, D. C.: The arrangement of material is most advantageous from the standpoint of presentday theory in teaching arithmetic. F. A. Larck, Principal, Stowe School, Chicago, Ill. As a sample of skill and sense in mathematical arrangement and selection, they are superior and more up to date than any other set of arithmetic books that I have seen. A. G.
