MARKET CONFERENCE

More than usual space is given
to our rural readers. The confer
ence on the Curb Markets, called
by County Agent Cooch brought
out an interesting discussion
which indeed promises something
more than talk. The plan submit
ted by Mr.. David Snellenburg has
struck the idea in a practical way.
Farmers who hear of it are all en-
thusiastic and express belief that
it will solve many of the ills of the
market, not noted at first glance.
1t is hoped that Wilmington will
sense it's value and help to put it
into execution. Here is something
definite for the Chamber of Com
merce to work on. Better service
to buying public and more busi-
ness will result.

Professor Franklin's most earn
est appeal related to the education
al value of work. Two genertions
ago school was supplemented by
endless opportunities for play, and
children had to work about the
house and farm more nd more as
they grew to maturity. Play and
work were in those days as plenti-
full as sunshine and air nd it is no
wonder that educational ideals
were developed taking no account
of play and work. But to cling to
these old ideals at the present
tunity to play, when there is an
almost complete absence of old
fashioned chores about the home,
when boys never see their fathers
at work, and when the only oppor-
tunity for boys and girls to work
outside the home is to face the
danger of reckless exploitation!
What piece of stupidity! Our en-
tire educational system, primary
and secondary, collegiate and tech
nical, is sick with inconseuuential
bookishness. Yes, but we have our
manual training schools and our
college courses in shop-work and
shop inspection. Away with such
scholastic shams! The beginnings
OF manual training must indeed be
provided for in schools. PAPER
cutting, sewing and whiting. But
from the absurdity of an Academic
Epitome of Industry may the good
Lord deliver US! And he will deliv-
er us, never fear, for the law of
economy is His law, too.
The greatest educational prob
lem of our time is how to make use
of commercial and industrial es-
Establishments as schools to the ex-
tent that they are schools.
The first object of all work is to
get food and clothes and lodging
and fuel, but the essence of work is
a human discipline as kindly and
beneficent as sunshine and the
rain, and the greatest need of our
time is that the discipline of work
come again to it's own in our entire
system of education.

Increasing Financial Resources in

(From the Washington PostD

The shipments Of gold and securi-
ties from Europe to this country can
be carried on upon a scale sufficient
TO stabilize exchange for many months
and if they are made, say one-third
gold and two-thirds securities, these
securities can be absorbed in the
United States without any reduction
in our active volume Of currency
Prior to 1893 it was accepted as a
maxim that 25 per cent gold reserve
would safely carry the 75 per cent is
sue of paper currency and it was that
same financial formula which car
ried into our national bank system
called for the 25 per cent. reserve so
long the rule as TO reserves of ma
tional banks.
The Federal reserve banking system
very adroitly and shrewdly placed the
gold reserve of the currency one step
further removed from demand by the
holders of notes or call from deposit
tors, and by so doing safely allowed
the reduction of the percentage of re-

with absolutely safety a much greater

Reserves
WIN credit balances paid to this
country of 33 1-2 per cent. gold and
our new system permitting of safely
carrying paper issues to a percentage
OF reserves Of not more than 10 to Is
per cent. it can be seen that with
this incoming gold going into the
banks the volume of the currency
can be vastly increased and should

There is too much foolish talk of
idle gold accumulating in this coun-
try
There is no good reason why any
money In this country should be idle,
either gold or silver or paper.
It should, every dollar of It, be put
to work doing its duty for the people
OF the country.
To talk of idle money in the United

say that the railways of the country

cier as Frank A. Vanderlip states that
more than S2.0OO.OOO,O00 is needed to
develop the water powers of the

absurd.
To talk Of idle money in the United
