Prices May Go Up

A good suggestion is that you buy this car
now. For present conditions are advancing
raw material prices very rapidly and the
Cabriolet price may 60 up 500 in the spring
or earlier.
Mr.. Chalmers guarantees us there will be no
reduction in the price of this car in the spring.
but will not guarantee there will be no increase.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

COMMUNITY CIVICS
AND ITS IDEALS
DIR. DUNN ADDRESSES STUDENTS AND TEA
CEIERS

may fulfill his obligation. The
teaching of community civics is
the cultivation of habits. It's sig
nifcance lies not in geographical
implications. It is rather in the
idea of community relations, of
community responsibilities, of CO.
operation through government as
the chief means of cooperation.
In closing his talk DR.. Dunn en-
phasized the Importance of estab-
fishing definite standards toward
which to work in the teaching pf
community civics. First in i'm
portance," he said, sis the neces-
city of arousing interest in ones
civic relations. Bad citizenship is
more often due to lack of interest
than lack of knowledge. Second,
Good citizenship can only proceed
from right motives. Therefore,
civics teaching is good in proper
tion as it provides the pupil with
adequate motives for studying
civics, and for seeking to partici-
pate in the life Of the community.
Third, The proper conception of
government is that of a means of
cooperation for the common we'll
being. No man can be effective in
life unless his teamwork is good.
Therefore civics teaching is good
in proportion as it stimulates CO.
operation among pupils, and on the
part of the pupil with others, for
the common interest of the COM
munity. Fourth, Two other quail
fications for good citizenship that
might be mentioned, are good
Judgment and initiative. Given an
interest in civic affairs, a right
motive, and a willingness to work
with others, a mans citizenship
will not count for a great deal un-
less he is able to sift out the es-
sentials from the non-essentials of
a situation, and to decide wisely
as to the best method of dealing
with it; and unless he has the
power to initiate action. Civic ed
ucation ought, therefore, to in
clude the cultivation of civic judg-
ment and civic initiative; and
civics teaching is good in proper
ton as it cultivates the judgment
with reference to a civic situation
and the methods of dealing with
it; and in proportion as it culti-
Yates initiative in the face of such
situation"

best farmer does. In order to ac-
complish this purpose the govern
ment has sent farm demonstrators
into every county in the Union; it
has sent specialists in marketing,
specialists in certain crops, poul-
try men, livestock men. We are
looking every day for men that
can do such work. We are having
difficulty in finding them. l a ma
tion of a hundred million, with
twenty million men, we can't find
them. We want men who think of
something besides themselves
who are willing to put more into
the world than they take out of it !;
men who delight in work that they
can do efficiently. We demand
men of tact, of discretion, of judg-
ment. There are two most import
ant things that college cannot
teach-good manners and good
judgment, even though the whole
tends to inculcate good manners
and good judgment. These traits
can be developed only by the indi-
vidual.
Certain it is that no habit or
state of mind can be more valu-
able to this nation than the habit
of good judgment. Sometimes l
am pessimistic about democratic
government, because of the waves
of hysteria that sweep over us. We
must have men and women to de-
velop our problems by wholesome
methods,-a difficult task because
of the inability of the public to
get the accurate news concerning
our most difficult problems. The

things, yougn men, ! congratulate
you for being here. l decided sew
eral years ago that if makes little
difference what college a boy goes
to, bit it makes a vast difference
what coy goes to college: there is
not so much Importance in what
a boy studies as how he studies it..
"Tho liall e agriculture today
presents as many great problems
and as many demands for talent,
as any other great field OF endea-
vor. Yet there are few men pre-
pared to give these problems train
ed attention. Abraham Lincoln
did few things of more permanent
good than when he attached his
signature to the Act for the Land
Grant Colleges, and established
the federal Department of Agri-
culture. Although the actual
work began in 1870, little progress
was made until the eighties and
nineties. At present the work Of
the Department of Agriculture re-
quires the attention of 10000
trained men. 1t spends, including
the work in the land grant colleges
S60,000,000 per annum.
"The Department is confronted
by the great problems of distribu-
tion-as great as the problem Of
production itself. The great con-
suming public is robbed by the
methods of distribution. l don't
believe any party, individual or set
of individuals, is to blame for this
condition. These great economic
problems have simply not received
the attention they demand. The
great difficulty is to find men who
know anything about these COM
pleX problems.
"Such a statement sounds
strange when we consider the
thousands of colleges, with their
scores of economists. But these
economists cannot give us the type
of men we seek by leading them
through a study of the economic
system of the Greeks and Romans,
or introducing them to know
ledge of the methods employed in
the countries of the world. The
government demands that students
of history and economics get busy
and train men to help us to dis
cover how to handle the problems
Of the market and rural finance.
Such a field Of usefulness is un-
limited. Not only is there great
opportunity in the investigational
field, but in the other great realm
of endeavor-the work of getting
to all farmers what the best of us
know, and what the best of us
practice. If we could let all know
what the best do, we could work
an industrial revolution in Amer
ica.
The thing is to teach the aver
age farmer to do as we'll as the

Newark post., 1915-10-06

Students of the Women's Col
lege, teachers in the Newark
Schools, and members of the local
Board of Health, met last Thurs
day afternoon at the Women's
College to hear DR.. Arthur w.
Dunn outline the work in commun-
ity Civics which will be under
taken in Delaware this coming
year. DR.. Dunn is an expert from
the Department of Education,
Washington, who comes to Della
ware to work with the Delaware
Cooperative Educational Associa-
tion. DR.. Dunn's mission is to
show first to the teachers, and
through them to the pupils in our
schools, the big broad ideals Of
citizenship.
"Whatever else you are, or are
planning to be-" DR.. Dunn declar-
ed in the course of his talk last
Thursday, you are first of all
citizens. You are bound to re-
ceive from the community in which
you live, and you are bound to
contribute for good or i'll, to the
same community. The good citi-
zen may be defined as the one who
has acquired the habit of conduct
ing himself to meet community re-
lations." The speaker likened the
citizen deriving life from the COM
munity, to the hand deriving life
from the body, and declared
citizen should be to the commun-
ity as the hand to the body of
which it is a member.
The speaker emphasized the i'm
portance of the teaching of COM
munity civics by reference to the
wonderful development of democ-
racy, as shown in the civic organ
izations, the health organizations,
made up of soberminded men and
women in all parts of our land,
referring also to Women's suf-
frage, the initiate, the short bal
lot, the popular selection of sena-
tors-andlike issues-all of which
mean larger participation of the
people in questions of government.
The problem of democracy is
after ALL" DR.. Dunn declared, "a
problem of education. No matter
what governmental devices are
employed, they will not work un-
less the people are trained to
handle them. Thus we are turn
ing our attention more and more
to subjects of social study-stud-
les whose subject matter is con-
cerned with mans relation to the
human family. Social efficiency
has come to be the content of all
social aims. We must not forge
however, that we cannot introduce
social study by placing on the cur
riculum subjects of social content;
we can only gain this end by
adapting the curriculum to the ac-
tual social needs of the school.
History, to be socialized, must
meet the present needs of the
children.
By Community Civics we mean
then. the training for citizenship,
not merely the giving of informa-
ton as to the various forms OF
government. The teacher is called
upon to hel pthe child to know
his own community, what it does
for him, how it does it; what he
owes to the community, how he

special performers-the geniuses,
the world calls them-are not the
heroes that nation loves. They
are rather the men and women
whose actions are inspired by
sound judgment and common
sense. In the measure that we de-
velop these traits may we be sure
of the indefinite performance Of
the American Union"
