When the various students of Austin’s well
known private schools and the students of the
University of Texas again come for another year’s
training, the citizens of Austin should take some
forward steps to extend to these temporary resi-
dents of the city a real welcome.
The Statesman feels that it speaks advisedly in
making this suggestion, for within the last few
— days there have come to its attention several in-
stances where students arc going to school else-
where this year because they feel that they were
firmation. President Wilson's offer of
the good offices of the United States
to help in bringing about peace is still
open, although it is not known whether
he will take any further steps In that
direction without direct word from any
of the powers concerned.

“It is now out of the question'that the gov-
ernment could compete in the picture profit mar-
ket, but there seems no reason why it should not
. constitute itself the agent where the country's in-
terests are obviously affected. „
" "It has long been perceived that this country
has become a buying place only for great works
of art and that selling practically always means
soiling out of the country. This state of affairs
J will continue, with aggravation from conditions
arising out of the war, irrespective of the impor-
tance of the works allowed to depart, if the peo-
ple do not awaken to the fact that it is their own
inheritance that is beina disposed of, and, as soon
as great events permit, make it their particular
business to bring the government to a sense of its
responsibility towards them in this matter.”

Now, howeve, the other Texas cities are making
eibig elambor for educational recognition. They
are advertising their educational facilities in every
possible way. And it would seem but common
sense for the citizenship of Austin to meet their
efforts in like manner.
There are some indications that one big recep-
tion plan may already be under way for the en-
tertainment of the students of the University. But
the welcome must extend further than a recep-
tion. From the time that the students come until
the time that they go, they must be made to feel
that they are at home and among friends.

The fear that hundreds of England’s valuable
art works will be forced on the market as a result
of war's economic pressure, and will be forever
lost through purchase by wealthy Americans, is ex-
pressed by the art critic of the Daily Mail.
"It is none too soon,” he urges, “to look ahead
to a condition that will prevail in the art market as
an aftermath of the war, which will imperil our con-
tinued possession of many national treasures.
“Important works of art privately owned, in
which the people of the nation may properly be said

THE AUSTIN STATESMAN
AND TRIBUNE
Published dally, afternoon and night- and Sunday morn-
Ing— by The Austin statesman Company.
Dr. J. W. Wilhite retired from the
statf of the State Lunatic Asylum, yes-
terday to devote his entire time to the
management of the Pasteur Institute.
The change was in accord with the
new State law. Dr. Wilhite’s new title
will be physician in charge of the Pas
teur Institute. He had been second
assistant physician at the asylum in
addition to handling cases at the Insti-
tute. The asylumn board meeting yes-
terday promoted Dr. R. L: Davis to
the position of second assistant physi-
cian at the asylum and Dr. T. N. Miller,
formerly fourth assistant physician,
succeeded Dr. Davis as third assistant.
Dr. Wooten Lightfoot was elected
fourth assistant physician by the board.
Dr. John W. Bradfield remains first
assistant physician.
Dr. W. W. Killian of Austin retired
as dentist of the asylum and Dr. M. K.
Rogers of Austin was elected dentist to
succeed him.
Miss Derna Glover of Lockhart was
elected druggist at the asylum to suc-
ceed K. 8. Kuykendall of Austin, who
resigned to go Into the drug bustness.
The meeting was the regular month-
ly session of the board and routine
business was transacted, including ap-
proval of the asylum accounts.
The continued fall of foreign exchange in this
market is becoming a matter of profound moment
to our business interests as well ns the foreign
interests concerned. It is placing so high a pre-
mium on the prices of American goods as may
seriously interfere with our export trade. It is
making stock market prices so much higher for
the foreign owners of American securities than
for the home owners as to create an almost irre-
sistible invitation to foreign liquidation.
There has never before in our history arisen a
situation so perfectly suited as this to the old
mercantile theory of National wealth-getting—
where the merchandise movement is all outward
and nothing comes back except gold which can not
be profitably employed. The only trouble with
the situation; as with the theory, is that it can not
go on without stopping exports as well as imports.
There is much of universal andabid.
I ing Interest to be found In the story
of the New England working man who
I went mad the other day while at work
I in a water main.
At no time while engaged with his
I work was the man in the least bit of
I danger, and yet, for some unaccount-
able reason, he was seized by the fear
that dethroned his judgment and, fall-
ing to the earth, he gave up in sheer
.despair. w
Missing him, his fellow-workingmen
instituted a search and found him,
some 300 feet in the tube. In a state
of complete mental and physical col-
lapse.
From all accounts he will never re-
gain his sanity. A raving maniac he
is and a raving maniac he seems de-
stined to remain.
And all because he, was afraid-
afraid of something that did not exist,
save in his own panic -str ricken imag-
ination.
One of the saddest and most humili-
ating lessons of history Is that found
in the fact of the proneness of mao
toward the craven fear that unmans
and destroys the resisting powers of
the soul and plucks out the very heart
of our valor.
Panic—the sudden capitulation of
the mind to the feeling of danger—has
written many a disgraceful page in the
story of man’s life on this earth.
In the olden times this terrible fear
was, of course, much more prevalent
than it is today, and the havoc that it
worked can never be calculated.

bons and President Wilson, at which
the possibility of bringing about peace
in Europe was discussed, were lacking
today- The cardinal's visit, however,
caused widespread discussion in offi-
cial and diplomatic circles.
Cardinal Gibbons had returned to his
home In Baltimore without definite in-
formation regarding the White House
conference having been made known
or, the message which he conveyed to
President Wilson from Pope Benedict
regarding peace progress being dis-
cussed.
.. It is known, however, that the pon-
tiff's message praised President Wil-
son’s attitude and indicated a belief
that the United States might be in a
position to help In bringing about a
cessation of hostilities in Europe. The
cardinal also told the President that
the United States had been placed in
a very advantageous position to aid
In bringing to an end the conflict
owing to the apparent settlement of
the Issue between the United States
and Germany over submarine warfare,
which had greatly aided the cause of
peace.
It was said unofficially' that the
President was greatly pleased with the
message and with the interview.
Further developments as an outcome
of the conference rre awaited with the
deepest interest by officials and diplo-
mats alike. Possibility of Joint action
for peace among the heads of neutmi
nations and the Pope is suggested, al-
though this idea lacks official con-

bulletin was prepared by four members of the
committee on social studies of the National Educa-
tion Association—Dr. J. Lynn Barnard, School of
Pedagogy, Philadelphia; F. W. Carrier, principal f
of Wilmington (Mass.), high school; Arthur W.
I Dunn, specialist in civic education, United States
Bureau of Education, and Clarence D. Kingsley,
of the Massachusetts Board of Education.
"The significance of the term ‘community civ-
ics’ does not lie in its geographical implications,”
says the bulletin, “but applies this point of view
to the National community as well. Emphasis is
laid upon the local community because it is the one
with which every child-citizen has most intimate
relations, and for that reason it is easier for him
to enter,into actual co-operation with it.”
The authors of the bulletin make clear that the
term “citizenship” is used broadly. The “good
citizen,” they say, “is a person who habitually
conducts himself with proper regard for the wel-
fare of the community of which he is a member,
and Is active and intelligent in his cooperation
with his fellow members to that end.”
Community civics, according to the bulletin,
shonid be taught in the elementary grades of the
public schools and should be continued in a more
comprehensive course in the first year of the high

to work out for himself the application of general
principles. The translation of principles into con-
duct is more difficult thon the comprehension of
the principles themselves. While we urge that the
citizen should engage in these activities as far as
opportunity offers, it is'necessary to cultivate a
motive sufficiently strong to lead him actually to
do so. This motive is to be found in the common
interest, which includes his interest, at least until
such lime as an ideal altruism may lead to the
placing of the interest of others and of the com-
munity above the interest of self."

echool. “Many pupils do not enter high selicl
at all, and those who do should already have be-
gun to acquire habits of civic thought and actiou.
The greater maturity of the high school pupil
makes possible the development of phases of the
subject that are impracticable in the elementary
school.”
‘’■‘Many courses in civics fail,” the authors think,
“because they fix attention upon the maelinery
of our Government rather than upon the elements
of community welfare for which government ex-
ists. They familiarize the pupil with the manipula-
tion of the social machinery without showing him
the importance of the social ends for which this
machinery exists. A lesson in community civics
is not complete unless it leaves the pupil a sense
of his responsibility, and results in right action.
To attain these ends is perhaps the most difficult
and delicate task of the teacher.”
