Sweet potatoes can probably be more

problem than any other one crop In

valuable both as human food and as a

Keep The Children In School
when United States declared war
on Germany good many educators
lost their heads and there was much
silly talk about closing the schools
IN order that the children might do
their bit. Some Colleges went so
far as to offer to credit students with
the time spent at farm work and
young men abandoned the Studies
which were to fit them to become
lawyers, physicians, etc, and wasted
months trying to keep out of the wav
OF farmers who really understood
their business. Fortunately this bvs-
terra is disappearing. The sane utter
ances of U. S. Commissioner of Edu-
cation P. P. Claxton have contributed
materially to bring about the reac-
tlon. In a recent statement, this en-
inent authority said:
Democracy requires for success
universal knowledge intelligence
and virtue of high degree, and must
protect itself from weakness and cor
ruption from within no less than
from forceful invasion from without.
therefore, it is of utmost Importance
that during the continuance of the.
war and through the years immedi-
ately following there shall be no
lowering in the efficiency of our svs
tens of education. Schools and
other agencies of education must be
maintained at whatever cost and
against all hurtful interference with
their regular work except as may be
necessary for the national defense"
OF course neither Commissioner
Claxton nor any one else will con-
tend that there is not much work in
the home and on the farm which the
boys and girls may do with benefic-
ial results to themselves and their
parents. But all this may be accom-
plished without serious interference
with the young peoples mental train
ing.
Matchmaking The Railroads
The government is running the
railroads of the country just now and
some of the results achieved consti-
