THE SIMS-DANIELS CONTRO-
VERSY

Pending full investigation. popular
opinion will incline toward Admiral
Sims in the controversy between Sims
and Secretary Daniels in the matter
Of distinguished service medals. Al
miraI Sims charges that a majority or
the officers whom he recommended Tor
tho DISTINGUISHED service medal were
given lesser recognition by Secretary
Daniels, while several who were not
recommended for the medal and who
had done nothing to deserve it were
given this high honor by the secretary
Of the navy.
II Il obvious that the officer in COM
mand oc an army or a feet is in posi-
ton to know more of the quality OF ser
vice OF the men under him than army
or naval officials ashore. The natural
presumption is that pull" or political
influence has operated TO bring about
Injustice in the awards. However.
there may be another side to the mat
ter. 1t is always possible that the COM
handing officer himself is prejudiced
for or against certain individuals. Sec
rotary Daniels may have a good de-
tense.

alton If they feel that, as a COM
munity, we want every boy and
girl in school.
The young people most concerned
in this back to school movement
may be interested in some statistics
gathered by the department of edu-
cation. Less than one percent OF
American men are college gradu-
ates, yet this one percent has fur
nished SO percent of the constitu-
tional convention; percent of all
the presidents. SO percent of all the
members of our congress; AZ
percent of all the speakers of the
house of representatives. 54percent
of all the vice presidents; 81 per-
cent of all the secretaries of state;
so percent of the secretaries of the
treasury; 81 percent of the attor-
ney generals; So percent of the JUS
tees of the supreme court.
No man can be an officer of the
United States army or navy unless
he has a college education or its
equivalent.
The child with no schooling has
one chance in 10000 of perform
ing distinguished service; with ele-
mentary education he has four
times the chance; with high school
education 81 times the chance and
with a college education 400 times
the chance.

schools will not show the normal at
tendance this coming school year.
Hardly a community that does not
report some boys and girls who a
year or two ago had plans to go on
to some college or university and
now have apparently abandoned the
plan, and it is a real problem of
these higher institutions TO find out
why the young men and women
who have gone through the first
year or two are dropping out.
But, of course, the most serious
problem is the one of the boys and
girls who stop their education be-
fore they have taken advantage of
what the pubic schools offer-who
face life without even an elementary
education.
Of course, we know that the fault
is not with our educational insti-
tutions even though there are i'm
projections in the individual school,
but with the strenuous and abnor-
NAL times through which we are
passing.
The cost of living is worrying ev-
eryone and the wages of the un-
skilled laborer are very tempting to
young people-a combination that
is bound to be disastrous in the
educational world.
Some of us may not see just what
as individuals We can do about 1t,
and yet, If we all are thinking and
talking about the value of getting
all the deucation that We possibly
can plan for, it is bound to have
some good results.
Some boys and girls who are dis
couraged and ready to give up
school may take heart start in
again this fall. Others whose
home life has been dulling to all
enlightenment and progress may
catch the spirit of what a good ed
ucation does for happiness and sue
cess, and our own children may
start to school with more determin-

BACK TO SCHOOL

Perhaps all over our country. hut
at least right here in our own mid
die west, there is the most deter
mined effort ever made to have ey-
cry boy and girl of school age re-
turn to school at the beginning of
the fall session.
Governors are issuing proclama-
lions and the departments of pub
lie instruction are using all their
organizations to get people every
where talking about the need for all
the education the individual can
possibly acquire. Minister'S and
chautauqua lecturers are helping
along the good work
And one of the fine things about
II all is that not a single person
who is boosting the back to school
movement can be accused of any
selfish motive. When it comes to
wanting every boy and girl to take
advantage of the greatest school
system in the world and hoping
that our own particular state will
show the highest literacy test, we
are all, each and every one of US,
guilty. We want our schools to be
the best, we want our average at
tendance the largest, we want our
boys and girls to win the contests,
scholastic, rhetorical and even ath-
letic. We may differ on religion,
politics, moral standards (prohibi-
ton and woman's suffrage aren't de-
batable any more), but the one
thing that We can get behind and
boost to the limit is our public
school.
It might seem to some intelligent
foreigner just coming to this coun-
trv utterly absurd that it should
be necessary to preach education in
a country where real public schools
are a fact. But the truth is, there
Is considerable basis for concern
