Senator's Clarke and Rob
 inson Differ Greatly

Senators J. P. Clarke and Joe T. Robinson have both took a twist at the future" gambling in cotton.
 Senator Clarke thinks the way to regulate the evil. is to tax 1t thus legalizing the gambling.
 Senator Robinson has introduc. ed a bill prohibiting the evil and making the penalty imprison- ment and fine.
 This is the same old hobby horse" that many other senators have ridden on, back to office. The "dear people" have been told SO often by senators and congressman, that they were go- inc to fight this measure thro'. that we are loath to believe 1t possible for either of our sena- tors to do better than others, who have let it Ego to sleep" after they had first excited the hope of the people as they fought the evil on the outside of Congress, while seeking election or reelection.

HIGH SCHOOL AND CITIZENSHIP

HIGH SCHOOL AND CITIZENSHIP
 "High school teachers of so- cial science and history have the best opportunity ever offered to improve the citizenship of the land," says Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the United States Bu- reau of Education. Dr. Jones believes that the 1900, 900 boys and girls now in American high schools form the largest group of persons anywhere in the world who can be guided into acquir- ing the "social point of view" by means of the subjects of social science and history taught in the modern way.
 Good citizenship should be the direct aim of the high school courses in social science and his- tory" he declares Good citizen ship is the test that must be ap- piled to every topic in these courses. Facts, conditions, theo- ries, activities which do not con- tribute directly to the apprecia- tion of methods of human better ment have no claim on the high school pupils.
 Dr. Jones points out that un- der this test: civics must not be merely a study of government machinery, but study of all manner of social efforts to inn prove mankind. Every pupil should know, of course, how the president of the United States is elected; but he should also under stand the duties of the health officer in his community. It is the things near at hand and so- cially fundamental that should be taught first of all. Compara- lively few persons have any need of knowledge of congressional procedure, but every citizen should know what are the chances of employment for the average man.
