MANY and Few Both to Profit

This year there will be SO students graduate
from the Richmond high school. Of this number
"a have announced their intention to enter col
leges in the fall. In other words 36 per cent. of
the local high school graduates will derive the
full benefit of public school system that lays
greatest emphasis on college preparation. Sixty
-four per cent. of the graduates will have been
trained along the same lines needlessy, for they
will go out into world where they will have to
give up valuable time learning vocations beyond
the ken of present college preparatory courses.
STILL SO per cent intending to enter colleges
is gratifyingly large number, though, as Super
sintendent Mott says, Richmond is far ahead of
other cities in this respect. Looked at from a
different angle however, the "a students actual

smaller proportion. This year there 48O

cation and 80.6 that does not. On the same
basis the "a who will have a college education
are but 7O8 per cent.
The 7.O8 per cent are not to be begrudged
their college education. Those who succeed in
the realm of higher education come back to us
as our well trained and efficient DOCTORS lawyers,
~architects, engineers, teachers, scientists and
managers of industries. The services of such are
well worth providing for by having proper cours-
es in the public school system for college prep

The 1892 per cent are not to be begrudged
their vocational training courses in the public
school system, if expedient and wise, high

popular government, which took definite shape
with the launching of the Progressive party last
August. This popular revolt against the evils
which have crept into our governmental system
Mr.. Cannon frankly recognizes as powerful and
comprehensive movement, but he labels it a
menace to our republican form of government
To comprehend the viewpoint from which
Mr.. Cannon gazes upon the question of whether
there shall be alterations in our national gov
ernment, or whether reforms shall be introduced,
an article appearing in the current issue of the
Saturday Evening Post, sketch of the career
of Representative Victor Murdock should be
read.
Victor Murdock of Kansas is the Progressive
floor leader. His first three years in congress
he spent as regular Republican and served
the organization faithfully and without COM
plant. Then he discovered a discrepancy in the
method of paying the railroads for the transpor-
tation of mails, by which the government was
needlessly expending $5,OOO,oOo per year. He
brought this to the attention of the post office
committee of the house and after hard fight
had the committee report favorably on plan
rectifying this matter 1t was promptly killed
in the house by the Cannon machine and since
that time, Mr. Murdock states, Mr.. Cannon has
not spoken to him. But Murdock won his fight.
President Roosevelt issued an executive order
adopting the economic Murdock plan for the pay
ment of mail transportation.
Mr.. Cannon stands for a system of govern
ment which recognizes such fraud as the one
brought to light by the fighting Kansan, and re-
fuses to correct it. Mr. Murdoch by the action of
the Cannon machine on this postal matter be-
came, to quote him, "a raging insurgent." He
has been promoted to high place in the coun-
ellis of the Progressive party because he advo-

Editor of the Palladium :

Editor of the Palladium:
II you had been asked confidentially
about a certain reporters ability to
work on the Indianapolis Star, and If
you had declared, also confidentially,
that Richard Roe had - good nose
for news" and was an enthusiastic,
conscientious man, but you felt that
he was not quite conservative enough
to suit the policy of the Star; if then.
your questioner had accidentally, let
us say let your confidential reply be
made public, how would you feel?
In pure justice to President Kelly,
think We ought to put ourselves in
his place. |, for one, feel sure that
when President Kelly expressed an
opinion about Mr.. Browns fitness for
the superintendency in Richmond, he
did 1t under just such circumstances
as suggested above. Mr.. Brown him
self evidently felt that President Kelly
would be consulted, and why should
he not be? Is there any one in Rich
mond better able to know about school
men, their ideals and their practical
work than President Kelly, who, as a
member or the state board mot as
president of Earlham college, is re-
quired to investigate these things?
Besides, what did President Kelly
say that We raise such a howl? Did
he say anything against Mr.. Brown
personally or against Mr.. Browns abiI-
ity? No; he merely stated that, ac-
cording to his president Kelly's) pri-
vate opinion, Mr.. Brown was over
devoted to the vocational side of
school work
Well, what of it? Many, many peo-
pie believe the vocational side is being
overdone in our schools, if you only
realized it, as probably President Kelly
does.
The school board or members there
of, asked for personal opinion, not
a public statement, and President Kel-
ly believing in the trustworthiness of
the board, made his declaration. How
was his confdence-and asked for con-
fidence, emember-treated? 1t was
so abused, it seems to me only justice

A PRAYER
BY Louis Untermeyer

God tho this life is but a wrath,
Altho know not what
Altho grope with little faith,
Give the heart to fight-and lose.
Ever in conflict let me be;
Make me daring than devout
From sleek contentment keep me Free
And fill with buoyant doubt.
Open my eyes to visions girt
With beauty, and with wonder lit;
But let me always the dirt
And all that spawn and die in it.
Open my to music: let
Me thrill with springs first flutes and drums
But never let dare forget
The bitter ballads of the sums.
From compromise and things half done
Keep me, tho all the world derde
And when at last the fight is won,
God, keep still unsatisfied.

The Eight Hour Day

Organized labor and intelligent and far sight
ed manufacturers are waging the campaign for
an eight hour day for all labor.
Would not all laborers and all manufacturers
mutually benefit in a far greater degree if all
labor were guaranteed minimum of eight hours
work in every working day with a minimum
wage for standard reasonable minimum out
put, and the question of bonus for greater in
dividual skill producing more than minimum out
put requirements, as well as not limiting over
time work, were left to the individual worker to
decide himself?
Today organized labor says Eyes" to the first
and mo- to the two latter propositions. It says
if man in an eight hour industry works over
time or accepts a bonus for using productivity
his talent of more than average skill he is a
"hog." Under existing chaotic industrial condi-
tions regarding the treatment accorded many la
borers, organized labor is correct in it's con-
tention.
If every laborer in the land, however, were
guaranteed eight hours employment-in other
words, government unemployment insurance
under the conditions specified above, the Pal
ladium believes organized labor would be in the
unenviable position of cutting off its nose to
spite its face if it interposed objections to great
er rewards for than average individual
skill or overtime work.
Under this arrangement it would be impossi-
BILE for the skilled laborer capable of producing
more than average output, or the overtime labor
er to be accused of "hogging" another mans
share of the common supply of work. Under the
conditions specified all laborers would be en-
ployed for not less than eight hours every work.
ing day and would be receiving fixed compen-
sation for fixed minimum output. Further
more under marketing conditions governed by
the law of supply and demand-regulated COM
petition, increased production, due to the more
skilled laborer or overtime worker, would result
in lower prices for the products all laborers must
buy In other words, labor's purchasing power
and its capacity for the enjoyment of luxuries as
well as necessities would be continually en-
hanced under such system.

to enter protest against such care
lessness or treachery. We. as tax
payers and parents, ought to be inter
ested enough in this to see that the
blame is put where it belongs-not on
President Kelly, but upon that betrayer
of confidence.
There can be only two reasons for
such an act: either there is personal
dislike for President Kelly, or that
member of the school board does not
know how 10 keep business secrets. If
the former is the reason. let the rest
OF the board gag him; if the latter,
let the council get him out of this re-
sponsible position, or else he will have
the board in inexplicable difficulties
most of the time.

BEACH CLOSES
A SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Attendance Exceeded that of Last
Year by I5,O0O-Goyernmen
May Add Two Pools.

Attendance Exceeded that of Last
Year by I5,OO0-Goyernmen
May Add Two Pools.
That the municipal bathing beach had
its most successful season last summer
was declared yesterday.
When the bathing beach closed last
Friday the attendance had reached So, ,752,
as compared with $1,000 for the preceding
year. OF this number of patrons, L. 766
were women. The average attendance on
the days reserved for women was $50.
An average daily attendance of $50 was
the new-record made for the season just
passed. The pools were designed to ac-
commodate 800. Supt. w. B.. Hudson
feels that these figures are a clear
demonstration of the inadequacy OF the
present bathing beach. He will recon-
mend in his annual report that bathing
beaches be established on the Tidal Ba-
sin and on the Anacostia River for white
and negro bathers. He also will recon-
mend that pools be constructed on the
various Fairgrounds.
Congress has authorized the District
Commissioners to submit items for the
construction of two bathing beaches on
the river front in the next annual esti-
mates. As these are to be located On
Federal ground, Dr. Hudson will make
the suggestion that they be placed un-
der the supervision of the Office Of public
buildings and grounds. The pools on the
Fairgrounds will remain in charge Of the
municipal authorities.

RURAL IMPLEMENTS INCREASE.
Census Burenu Gives statistics on
Increased Manufactures.

lncreased Manufactures.
Statistics of the agricultural imple-
ment industry for 1903. the latest gath
cred, which have been compiled by the
Bureau of the Census and issued yes
terday, show there were $40 establish
ments making such implements in that
year and that their product was valued
at S146, ,329, ,26S.
In 1919 there were LBS establishments
which made products valued at $3.50, GIL.
In 1919 there wer 7,220 persons engaged
in this manufacture; in 1903 there We're
6o,229 persons. The growth and concen-
tration is due TO the abandonment of
small shops and forges and the increase
Of great factories. The greatest stride
in the industry was in the decade of
lS99-lsOs, when there was a sI5.12l, $40 in
crease
Eighty-seven per cent of the Industry
was carried on in Illinois. New York,
Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin. and Michigan.
The principal implements manufactured
i'm 1903 were seeders and planters, imple-
ments of cultivation. harvesting imple-
ments and separators. The small, shop
has practically passed away, factories
having an output OF more than SIOo 900
