The New Business Bosses.

With the announced appointments
to the Federal Trade Commission the
circle OF commission government of
business is completed. Presumably
IL the Senate refuses to confirm
his nominations the President will
make recess appointments Of them.
Then all our important economic &C
~tivitics within the constitutional reach
of Washington will proceed under
national control. the Interstate Com
merce Commission running transp0r-
tation services. the Federal Reserve
Board running the banks and the Fed
eral Trade Commission running manu-
facture and commerce.
The Secretary Of Commerce some
time ago invented the phrase mental
mourning to describe what was in
Administration eyes n r~eprehensibly
depressed business attitude toward
the political creations OF the New
Freedom, but in his choice for the
Federal Trade Commission President
WILSON has made il just so much
harder for corporate enterprise to re-
cover confidence. 1t may be said that
there Is nothing very much against
his. a~ppointees except that there Is
nothing for them. but is not that bad
enough from the business point OF
view?
Even the bu.iness career Of Mr..
IIrpyr- an uhfrh 80 much am nh n n q
is laid, Is not enough TO alter the fact
that 1t is a typical New Freedom
commission. such as might have been
expected to emerge from the source
which discovered the astonishing
WALSH and put him at the head OF
the United States Commission on In
dustrial Relations. Is not the calfbre
of the Federal Trade Commission as
n whole measured by the inspired in
timation that GEORGE l.. RECORD OF
New Jersey was deemed fit for a place
upon 1t and failed to obtain II only
because the Presidents home State
had already had a copious share OF
Federal patronage?
II the first impression which the
new Federal Trade Commission gives
is that it reeks with politics, the fact
is not surprising. II expresses the
very law Of the commissions being.
The only qualification respecting the
appointments 10 the commission was
that mot more than three Of the com
m~issioners shall be members of the
same political party Nowhere In
the law is there the slightest sugges-
ton that some or all of the commits
sioncrs should he men of business ex-
~perience. The only statutory restric-
ton rega riding them is political.
The law creating the new body or
business regulators had its origin In
the realm of politics; 1t did not
emerge from the facts and necessities
of business experience as did the Fed
eral Reserve act. Politics OF a non
business sort tends toward anti-busi-
ness politics.
There is always the chance, OF
course. thar the performance OF the
Federal Trade Commission may he
better than the promise OF Its be-
ginnings. This, however, is all on
which the business community has to
rely In seeking. as 1t must, to make
the best of the fresh manifestation OF
the meaning Of the New Freedom.

WHAT IS A NORMAL SCHOOL,

Not every man can teach what he
knows.
Not every school master can
make the children interested and
shape their growth.
The training of teachers is rather
new in this country. IL used to be
supposed that anybody who was
lame and could not work might be
set to teach the childrenl
The Berea Normal School has as
its one aim the benefit of the chill
dren OF the mountain region. II
aims TO give them teachers who
will know their business and can
cause the children to love their
studies and make rapid progress
toward manhood and womanhood.
IL is one of the very few normal
schools in the world in which the
majority of the students are young
men, and in which the chief at
'ention is given in fitting teachers
for work in the country districts.
The equipments of the Berea Nor
NAL School are great. Chief among
them stands the wonderful Car
negie Library. and the Knapp Hall
for practice teaching.
The School has longer and shorter
courses of study. Those who COM
plete the longest course receive a
certificate from the State without
examination. Those who go for
only a single term get ideas which
they can work out by themselves.
The School has great advantages
also by being connected with the

HOW FATHERS INFLUENCE THEIR
CHILDREN

In the October Womans Home
Companion Charles T.. jefferson. pas
tor Of Broadway Tabernacle, New
York City. writes a pointed sermon
Ia fathers in which he says in part I:
I'm the earlier years, children can
be controlled by their mother; but
by and by there comes a time when
they begin 10 note the conduct OF the
father. No eyes are kcener than
the eyes OF child. He sees every
thing the father does: he reflects on
what the father does not do. HIS
logic Is memorable. He argues his
way 10 conclusions which cannot
be shaken.
"If his father dose not pray, prayer
must be unnecessary. Grown men
surely know what is needed. II his
father never reads the Bible, then
the big book can be dispensed with.
Fathers know what books are most
worth reading. II he does not go To
church, then church attendance is
a pastime and not a duty, for men so
old and wise as Father is would not
neglect church. IL church were OF
value to them"
