PLAN SURVEY Of
LOCAL SCHOOLS
Ways of Raising Necessary
Fund Discussed at Meeting
of PrinCipaIS--Supt. Mont
gomery Gives Views.

An educational survey by experts
from outside Of the state under the
auspices Of the Russell Sage founda-
ton is proposed in South Bend.
The principals OF the city schools
at a meeting Monday afternoon dis
cused ways and means of raising the
amount necessary for such a survey.
1t is estimated that $500 would be
required TO meet the expenses. The
principals will take the matter under
further consideration.
If it should be found impossible TO
have the survey made, the principals.
with Supt. Montgomery. will doubt
less arrange for a series OF tests
which viii form the basis for a more
definite program OF improvement. The
tests would be made before the close
Of the present school year in prepar-
alton for next fall.
The purpose of the survey proposed
is to determine the efficiency Of the
school system and to enable the out
lining Of a definite constructive pro-
gram which will bring the plant to
meet the needs of the community
more fully.
Montgomery Outlines Views.
At the meeting, Miss Katherine
Kinerk, of the eighth grade, reported
on the national congress of hygiene.
held in Buffalo last summer, which
she attended.
Following the principals meeting
all of the teachers of the city assem-
bled in the high school auditorium,
where they listened to an address
by Supt. Montgomery on Supervision
of City Schools"
Here is an outline in brief of the
superintendent's remarks on the
methods of supervision to be en-
ployed.
The teacher is expected to have in
mind definitely the aim of education.
The supervisors duty is to draw out
the enthusiasm of her teachers for
the attainment Of that aim as well
as to organize the subject matter of
the courses.
In dealing with the teacher the
must never assume a dicta-
torial attitude. The teacher herself
must be allowed some choice, some
exercise of her own judgment in the
selection of certain alternatives, or
the spirit of initiative which puts life
into teaching will die. 1t is one of the
great aims of education to teach chill
dren to act Independently once they
are justified in relying on their judg-
ment, and the principals attitude to-
ward the teacher should be intended
to develop the same characteristic.

Curling Loan Sharks.

Earnest effort is being made by those
persons interested in driving out the loan
shark evil and in compelling compliance
with the loan shark law to impress upon
borrowers of money at usurious rates
from loan sharks that they are under the
obligation of repaying only three-fourths
of the sum borrowed and need not pay
the interest charged. The law was
framed to protect needy borrowers from
eXtortion and to deter loan shark COM
panies from their practice of bleeding and
feecing victims Investigation by mem
bers of the citizens loan committee
committee which has taken the lead In
and borne the brunt of the anti-loan
shark fight-seems to show that loan
sharks are doing business in the old way
in spite Of the law against it. and that if
any agreement is entered into between
the corporation counsers Office and them
strict supervision of their business will be
necessary that they shall live up to the
terms of the agreement.
The chairman of the citizens loan COM
mittee is quoted in The Star last even
ing as saying that loan sharking is still
a thriving industry: that loan shark VIC
tins should disregard any threats made
against them by the sharks, and tha1
the corporation counsers office can be
appealed to and will issue warrant for
and punish such offending money lender.
If Congress will only amend the loan
shark law that borrowers without security
can get loans at 11a or per cent mon'h
the money will come here for such loans
and those who are exacting from 10 to %
per cent a month will be driven out

The Spring Cleanup.

The city cleanup campaign scheduled
for the week of April 1918 draws near,
begins to take on positive form ana
should engage the earnest attention OF
all Neutrality-suspicious.. The cleanup COM
mittee solicits the assistance OF all the
local civic associations, and already
many of these, familiar with the
beneficial results achieved in the two
previous campaigns and understanding
the educational effect of cleanup agita-
ton, have promised hearty and active
cooperation in the pending campaign.
A small fund is required for the print
ing and distribution of that form of
literature known as cleanup cards. and
no difficulty should be experienced in
raising the modest sum required for =
work of such Importance. Effective aid
in this campaign is expected from the
citizens associations. each of which. it
is contemplated, will appoint COM
mittee ito arouse the interest of the
citizens within the territory covered by
their organization. to supervise the gen
eral cleanup work in their territory

operation by the District Commission
ers and by the health and police depart
ments is assured. The moving picture
theaters are to be given an opportunity
to exert their influence on the public
by displaying on their screens cleanup
films. Altogether there is an suspicious
outlook for the Districts third annual
cleanup campaign.

nominal full valuation. The latter Is as
certained primarily in both cases. To fix
the former standard one divides by three
the full valuation and multiplies by two.
II the full valuation is accurate and uni
form. the two-th:rds valuation Is equally
accurate and uniform, unless one makes
an error in dividing by three and multi
plying by two.
Mr.. George and many. other single
takers affirm that they do not wish to
increase local taxes or to destroy the
act of 1873, but to cure Inequalities in
assessment and taxation and to readjust
the tax burden SO that naked land. with
it's unearned increment, shall bear a
larger share.
Since a lowering of the tax rate is
clearly not to be secured, the full-Yal-
uation proposition, coupled with the as
sertton that such full valuation is
s744.0e0.000, means an inevitable dou-
bling of the local tax burden and the
smashing of the act of 1873.
If Mr. George viii now put aside the
Browne appraisement and the full-val-
uation proposal and push the other
propositions of his bill which seek to
bring about more frequent, more thor
ough, more accurate and more uniform
assessments he will cease to rerrify
the local community and will be hailed
as a public benefactor. He will also
accomplish much practically in the new
appraisement for the advancement of
single-tax principles by a gradual
shifting of the burden from realty I'M
provements to ground values.

Bull Moosers and the Tariff.

The bull moosers of Maine in state con-
vention yesterday declared for a protec-
tive tariff. Naturally. Until recently. all
were republicans. educated in the school
Of economic thought which graduated
James G. Blaine and Nelson Dingley.
Their hearts are still true to Poll. They
have seen their own state develop under
protection. and know that more remains
to be done with the aid Of that policy.
Hence they urge return TO 1t.
These men were not pleased with the
Payne law. That measure was not the
revision downward they had expected,
and to which they felt that the republic
can party was committed. Partly because
of that disappointment. they left the old
organization and helped establish the
new one. Had their tariff wishes been met
in 1909 they would not today be bull
moosers.
Even more unsatisfactory than the
Payne revision is the Underwood revi-
sion. The latter is a revision downward,
but on lines frankly antagonistic TO pro-
lection. Rates would have been made
lower had 1t been thought safe at this
time to so that far. Lower rates will
follow. and protection in the end be
wiped out, if democratic control con-

needs light. and should have an abun-
dance of it. But the lighting scheme
must be under its own full control The
proposition to put it under the control OF
"a non-partisan scientific tariff commits
sion'' begs the question.
There are three views about protection:
% 1t is sound in theory, and has worked
wonders in practice. 1t is stfll necessary
in the scheme of rational development.
(2) 1t was sound when conceived, and
has done much for the country. But the
country has outgrown it, and it should
now be abandoned.
~ 1t never was sound in theory, and
the country would have prospered more
without it. Today it is a heavy clog on
development, and the country must be
freed from it. Not simply freer trade.
but free trade, is essential to the ina
tional prosperity.
AS the Constitution commits the tariff
to Congress, the people should hold Con-
gress to its knitting. If they do, they
will get just the sort of tariff they want.
The remedy is not through any Juggling
with terms. Taking the tariff out OF
our politics would be about as easy as
taking human nature out of humankind.
