A SCHOOL OF POLITICS.
THE STUDY OF A VITAL SUBJECT.
A M. Drysdale writes as fol- lows in the Daily Chronicle:-.
Since I pointed out that one subject which is not taught in any of our schools or colleges is the art of government, a subject of the most vital importance in a democracy, and urged that mem- bers of Parliament and candidates should put themselves to school! voluntarily in order to learn their business, two important incidents! have occurred which tempt one) to return to my mutton.
The first of these incidents is the setting up of trade union com. Imittees by the Workers' Educa- tional Association. a body which I shall never name without an expression of respect. It is true, as the secretary informs me. that) these new committees are not expressly intended to bring an appropriate education within the reach of Labour candidates for! Parliament, but he recognises as any intelligent observer must that they are peculiarly capable of being used for that admirable purpose.
FOR TRADE UNIONISTS. The organisation is of a most thoroughgoing character, compris- ing a central committee, district committees, and local committees, and its general object is "to provide by every available means: facilities for the education of members of the trade ions contributing under the scheme." There is

Many of them have into Parliament after a strenuous long been more schooled in life necessarily dovoted to other. economics, than the capitalists, and that fact, more than the merits of their case, accounts for! their nearly always winning when industrial disputes are brought to the test of a public discussion.
DIPLOMAS FOR JOURNALISM. The second of the relevant in- cidents to which I have referred is the institution of University courses and diploma for journalism by the University of London, comprising instruction in such subjects as the history of political ideas. political science, economics, philosophy, and psychology, and the
general history of nations. There have been far more candidates for these courses than could be accepted, which demonstrates that there is a very great demand for the kind of knowledge promised..
It is precisely the kind of knowledge which every member! of Parliament ought to here, and it is just as undesirable "that Parliament should be less edu cated politically than its critics in the newspapers as that all classes in the community should be amateurs in politics excepti the working men.
Does the average elector realise. that there are over 1,400 members of Parliament, most of them un informed in the elements of their business? I say their business advisedly, for no man ought to go into Parliment-and there are Houses, with over 700 members in each who does not intend to make the service of the publie bis business.

GLADSTONE'S SCHOOL.
"It is a great and noble school," he said, "for the creation of all qualities of force, suppleness, and versatility of intellect. And it is also a great moral school. It is a school of temper. It is also a of honour, and it is a school of; school of patience. It is a school justice."
Circumstances, however, alter) Cases. In Gladstone's day men went into Parliament at a school- able age. He himself was only 23 at his election. One of his two great heroes in politics, Canning was elected at the same · age, and the other, Peel, was a member at 21 Castlereagh was

EARLIER TELEGRAMS.
THE EX-GERMAN SHIPS.
Washington, Feb. 20. " The Shipping Controller has conounced that an appeal against the injunction order prohibiting the sale of the ex- German ships will be filed and he experts Mr. Hearst, oc whose application the injunction was grasted, to be required to furnish bonds to protect the Shipping Board against loss through the ships being idle should the final decision of the Courts be against him.
Mr. Stevens, ex-Vice-Chairman of the Shipping Board, giving evidence before the Senate Commerce Committee, said the value of the thirty ex-German ships for which the Beard received bids was twice or thrice the amount of the bids received, namely $65,000,000 to $75,000,000, and bids received for four ships for transfer to foreign fags were double the highest American bids for three vessels and half a million dellars more for the fourth ship. The foreign bids were ro- jected in accordance with the policy of keeping the ships under the American fag. Mr. Stevens added there was po reason why the Shipping Board should not operate the shipa to prove or disprove the frequent claim that the United Stater
uld not compete with other countries on the seas.
AMERICA AND THE TREATY.
Washington, Feb. 19.
The leaders of both sides in the Senate predict that ratification of the treaty will drag cn while the railroad and other pressing Bills are passed. Some senators predict that the League of Nations will be the issue at the coming Presidential election campaign. Meanwhile they say informal
