SUMNER
SCHOOL SESSIONS

Characterizing the practice Of
closing the public schools
during the summer months as
primitive and preposterous'
and asserting that the most
important problem of today
was to keep the boys from
three months contamination
in Streets L. +. C!axton,
commissioner of the United
States bureau of education, has
recently approved a plan which
would mean continuous school
sessions and through which
1900, 600 children might be en-
listed in vocational work. A
program for summer vocational
work forpublic school work was
| submitted to Commissioner
Claxton by Clyde Alison Mann,
secretary of the American
Thrift. He approved the idea
and expressed the idea that one
vocational teacher in each
school should be employed all
the year. Further he saws:
Those teachers should teach

1T is important to consider
the fact that the public schools
of the country represent an in

and that this investment stands
idle about one-quarter of the
time tor no other reason than
that in primitive days both
teachers and pupils were need
ed on the farms three or four
months in the summer.
For school gardening. the
equipment is a small item and
the vacant lots of the city now
idle, would be better for cult

Commissioners Claxton points
out that in Europe the public
school last year produced $500,

probably 1900. 600 children
could be enlisted in the United
States for a few years and that
their labors would yield them

GAMES

estimates that 1920, 600, 600 is
taken from the people of the
United States yearly by swindl-
ing games. And this estimate
is undoubtedly very low, for it
deals only with those schemes
with which the department
comes more or less closely in
touch. There are many other
schemes of a fraudulent charac-
ter which are operated in tech
nical compliance with law. and
which are not actionable in any
way, and which are not brought
to the attention of the depart
ment at all. 1t would be i'm
possible to make even a fairly
close estimate of the hundreds
of millions that are taken from
persons usually in modest cir
cumstances, without any return
whatever being given. IF the
total were known it would
doubtless be found enough to
Duild a panama canal every
year. or to provide for the river
improvement of the entire
Mississippi Valley, or to grade
and macadamize most of our
highway, says the Grand Forks
Herald.
1t is often charged that the
people who lose their money on
these schemes are entitled to
no sympathy, for they them
selves are going deliberately
into operations which they
know to be fraudulent. In
some cases this is true. But
many a fairly honest fellow has
been inveigled into a green
goods game, which. of course,
is fraudulent on both sides.
The prospect of making a large
sum of money all at once has
proven too strong to be resist
ed. Aside from these things,

bait held forth is that of big
profits in legitimate invest
ments. The promoters repre-
sent that because of peculiar
facilities which they possess
they are able to make more
money for their investors than
can be made in the ordinary
way, and men and women, un-
familiar with business, grab
for the bait apd seize the hook.
In our schools students of
physical science are taught that
something cannot be made out
of nothing. 1t might be a good
idea to incorporate this funda-
mental principle in our COM
mercial training as we'll.
