WAR ON ExTRAVAGANCE.

A firm stand against extravagant
and costly wearing apparel among
the school boys and girls has been
taken by superintendents of public in
struction of California. Utah, Nevada,
Idaho and Washington who recently
met in California and determined to
establish at once in every public school
thruout the western states a perma-
nent course in thrift. This course will
be graded exactly as is instruction in
arithmetic, geography or grammar,
and upon a plane with those studi $.
In declaration of principles. the edu-
Gators made this announcement:
"Extravagence in dress, manifested
in many ways but especially in the
purchase of silk hosiery, silk shirts,
neckties and expensive footwear, must
be checked. To this end we recon-
mend that school principals and teach
ers insist upon reasonable economy
and modesty in dress, and appeal to
parents and pupils to cooperate in an
effort to check such extravaganza"
The state superintendents not only
determined on regular thrift courses
in all public schools, but arranged to
establish savings societies as labora-
tories for thrift in every school room
of the elementary and high schools.
They also drafted a memorial to the
federal government urging the contin-
uation of Thrift and War Savings
stamp campaign as a. permanent poll
icy and its elaboration by the issue of
penny, nickel and dime Thrift Stamps.
The thrift courses and laboratories
in each state will be under the super
vision of the state superintendent of
public instruction, who as a govern
ment official will bear the title of
State Educational Director of Thrift.
The declaration of principles adopt
ed by the superintendents says in part:
I'm the interest of the future citi-
zenry of America, we appeal to our
people to do everything in their power
TO discourage and check extravaganza,
and by precept and example, to aid
the schools in the teaching of thrift.
We urge upon school officials and
teachers the necessity for the teach
ing of thrift as a patriotic duty and as
means of meeting this great social
and economic crisis
The Topeka state journal., 1919-12-05
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS.

The idea of a court of Industrial
relations to handle disputes between
labor and its employers is taking hold
in the country. The people generally
favor labor unions. They do not want
to see them wrecked, but there is
feeling that they should be subservient
to the state. Either cur system of
government, our ideas of patriotism
or both, must undergo change If we
are to have industrial peace and the
prosperity which would follow.
The Des Moines Capital aptly says:
"We want wages increased wherever
necessary. We want working condi-
tions bettered. We want the public
schools and homes near the mines i'm
proved. But we want coal and we
want common sense. We do not want
tragedies"
We can take the young men from
the farms, shops end offices and we
can send them to kill the Germans
and other enemies OF the United
States. We can resent putFages on
women and children, in Belgium but
we have no way to prevent men in the
United States from stopping the rail-
roads and the coal mines which, i'm
cidentally would mean the stopping of
everything.
Appeals te men to defend their
homes and firesides are powerful
when the weapons to be used are guns.
But when appeals are made to men to
run railroads and dig coal the appeals
are in vain. These things are all
wrong. 1t is wrong to put q whole
nation into desperation and want, no
matter what the purpose may be.
Suppose, continues the Capital, the
farmers would refuse to sell a pound
of food until war prices are restored.
Suppose the miller should refuse to
grind a pound of flour. Suppose that
those who suffer for want of fuel
should declare that not q pound of
the miners went to work. This situa-
tiou would be parallel to the present
one.
Probably the courts already In ex-
istence could handle labor controver-
sizes satisfactorily. If labor unions were
made responsible. thru incorporation.
but under existing conditions the only
power they have lies in the Injunction.
Organizations of workers like ergani-
cations of capital s,-ould be made sub
ject to both civil and criminal action
in the courts.

country. Lately the plan has been
