TEN-MILL SCHOOL TAX

1t is easier to tack an amendment
TO the constitution than to repeal it..
Every amendment we add to our state
constitution is almost certainly, there
to stay until we have new consti-
tuition. Economic matters have
changed greatly since the war began,
and they will change more. Before
the citizen votes for that ten-mill
school tax amendment to the consti-
tuition, he had better wait couple
of years. and try to ascertain what
conditions will be for the next twenty
years.
We commend to the voters the fol-
lowing letter from the leading educa-
tors of the South:
To the Executive Officer of Schools:
It is undoubtedly fact that living
conditions are to be changed during
the war and in the period of readjust-
ment after the war. There will be
new organizations, new standards,
new methods, new ideals.
The school will feel this change
keenly.. Because it deals with all
classes of society. it will be expected
to reflect these changes in its organi-
zation, in it's subject matter, in it's
methods, in it's standards.
Doubtless, as wide awake and
progressive educator, you are already
studying closely the situation with a
view to making necessary adjust
ments in the school under your direc-
ton. But even so. we feel moved to
exhort you to greater effort.
Specifically, we invite and urge you
to join with us in a movement to in
terest all teachers, and through the
teachers, the general public in the
question of making the changes in our
schools necessary to fit them for this
postwar situation.
We suggest that you make a dis
cussion of this question permanent
feature of your teachers meetings,
parent-teachers' associations, wom-
ems clubs, commercial clubs and
other civic organizations, until some
definite and workable results shall
have been reached.
You are asked to send to the chair
man or the secretary of the follow
ing named committee the result of
any study you may make on this
question, that it may be passed on to
the other members of the association
and brought up for discussion at the
next meeting of the association.

After 1000 years Of exile, it is now
almost certain that Jewish govern
ment will be established in Pales-
tine. When General Allenby, at the
head of his victorious army, carried
the Union Jack into the ancient city
last December. q dream of twenty
centuries became possible. On the
hills of Zion a Jewish civilization
with something Of its old moral and
Intellectual vigor may once more
come into being. The Jews have
seized their opportunity, and already
an administrative commission of He
brews is at work restoring the coun-
try for that race.
