SOCIAL STUDIES IN HlGH SCHOOLS.

Now history, civics, and kindred
subjects in the high school may be
made to meet the requirements Of pres
emit day citizenship and the needs OF
boys and girls as growing citizens is
told in a report on the social studies in
secondary education just published az
a bulletin Of the United States bureau
Of education Of the department Of the
interior.
This report Is the first to appear Of
the final reports Of the Commission on
the Reorganization of Secondary Edu-
cation, which was appointed in 1912 by
the National Education Association.
The commission. organized in sixteen
committees which include in their
membership more than 200 superin-
tendents principals, and teachers rep

Union, has been at work continuously
since It's appointment. The report on
social studies comprises six-year
program, embracing the work of the
sew enth and eighth grades and that Oh
the present four-year high school.

ABILL FROM THE FIf1H IOWA.

Congressman Good. Jim" Good OF
lhe Fifth Iowa IS 20 propose bill this
session which is significant of the
change in popular opinion and cor
roborative of the great change in pop
ular conclusion on the liquor question.
Goods bill will bar all liquor adver-
Using from the newspapers by barring
newspapers that carry such advertise
rents from the mails.
II the bill should manage to get past
both houses and become law it would
affect the revenue Of few Iowa newspa-
pers. There are one or two newspapers
in the state which still accept liquor
advertisements occasionally but prac-
! tically all the Iowa papers long ago re-
| fused to accept such Advertising Per
haps the Times-Republican may be ex-
cused for calling attention to the fact
that it was the leader in that individual
reform among Iowa dailies. And it
may be permissible 10 add that the
Iowa press in refusing liquor advertis-
ing refuses a great deal of hard cash
that it might have if it put money
above principle The Iowa press as a
whole is dry and dry enough to re-
fuse to aid a liquor propaganda for a
price.
There is no good reason-unless the
opposition of the liquor dealers and
manufacturers shall be so considered
why Goods bill should not become law.
Surely liquor is as degenerative as a
church fair with grab bag or q
guessing contest that has the element
of chance in it. let alone the old
Louisiana lottery barred SO many years
ago the most of the younger set have
never heard OF 1t. Moreover the bill
will not receive any serious newspaper
| opposition while it will attract much
newspaper support. The average pub
lishher is satisfied that the stuff ought
not to be advertised and willing. where

The bill is straw that blows in
| the direction of national repression
| and final abolition of the manufacture
| and traffic of intoxicating liquors a:
beverage. If this bill should pass
it would forecast the eventual CLASH
| fcation of alcohol with opium and It's
| derivatives.

BUYING AT HOME.

This is a motto that the grocer and
the merchant can endorse. They want
the home trade and do not want 1t to
go to Chicago and to distant cities
and state. because they can sell as
good an article as cheaply as it can
be bought anywhere else
But someone has said that it's poor
rule that won't work both ways. And
when there are Iowa products that are
just as good and perhaps better than
those that are brought from away from
home, and that cost less, why not sell
the Iowa product?

his witnesses consisted mainly OF eff
forts to show that the rug purchased
by the woman who was dismayed by
what its sweepings revealed was not
materially defective, and that the rugs
Mr.. Adams bought were correctly rep
resented under such so-called trade
names as Oriental" and silk" though
one never saw the Orient and was ma
chine made, and the other would make
silk feel ashamed.
Value Not Proved
Harris also tried 20 prove that his
prices were reasonable, but he pro-
duced no testimony whatever to prove
that the rugs in question were worth
the price that he charged for them.
Richard II. Waldo, secretary Of the
Tribune Association, told the jury
about his connection with the maya
zine Good Housekeeping" which had
inaugurated the advertising guarantee
policy. He also narrated how The
Tribune, in contemplation of its honest
advertising campaign. cleaned out its
own advertising columns and had
adopted the money-back guarantee. He
also told about the solicitation of aid
by the Fifth Avenue Association, Mr..
Bonwit, of Bonwit. Teller & Co, and
other individuals and associations in
terested in stamping out fraud in ad-
vertsing.
The president Of the Fifth Avenue
Association, Robert Grier Cooke, de-
clared on the witness stand that the
association had been formed to meet
the invasion Of Fifth Avenue in 1918
by dealers who resorted to such tao
tics as Harris used and pursued a
course Of misleading and deceptive adj
vertising and other Objectionable bust
ness methods. He told about a lunch
con in April, 1914. at which G.. Vernon
Rogers, then general manager of The
Tribune and now vicepresident Of the
Tribune Association, pledged the aid
of The Tnbune's columns in a cam
paign to arouse the public against fake
advertising.
