This country, as a whole, has never
before experienced such financial pros
perity as it is experiencing at this,
time. So obviously true is this state
.ment that it is hardly worth while to,
cite any facts in; support OF It. But
never has there been so much money
in t6s, banks, never has all kinds Of
tradet been so: good. and never has
there been a more widespread liqui--
.dation of Indebtedness. :.,Of course
there is grumbling and complaint, and
of course there. is hesitation and
doubt. This condition is natural. HUI
manity has ever been SO constituted
that 1t has found more interest. and
pleasure in the pursuit than in the
possession, and always 1t has been
found that possession never brings the
satisfaction and content that were in
anticipation. 1t has been said that it
is easier to stand adversely than pros
perity, and if such be Nthey case. this
Is probably the reason. When a. man'
becomes Satisfied, he is near about
useless, and about the most miserable
creature on earth is man or woman
who is in want of a want. But not
withstanding all this there are still
better and higher things for all who
will continue to aim for, them. Men
must continue to work, work, work,
| and strive to accommodate themselves
to the new conditions in order that
they may take the next steps on for
ward. No matter what any able bodied
vigorous man of middle age may have
accomplished in the. past the possi-
bilities of the future are greater than
the actualities of the past, and what
is true of individuals is true of COM
munities. In the parlance o. the late
operations in France, now it is up to
all, individuals as well as communities,

HERE AND THERE.

Many York county school children
and educational leaders from all sec
tions of the county will go to Rock
+Hill today to attend Educational
Day" at the York county fair. Super
intendent of Education John E. Carroll
said Yesterday that practically every
school in the county had granted the
children a holiday today on account
of the fair and that no doubt large
numbers would attend.
York county Methodists especially
wifi be interested to learn that at
meeting of the board of trustees OF
the Epworth Orphanage held in Co
lumbia, the other day, 7. o. O'Dell
was reelected superintendent of the
orphanage home. Assistant Superin-
tendent Simpson resigned to resume
his work as minister, the plan he
had before him since assuming his
connection with the orphanage.

crops and everything is moving along
nicely. We certainly hate to see so
many Of our friends and acquaintance
leave and talk of leaving; but of
course it can't be helped. But be-

Social Insurance.

Until the level of legal minimum wages is reached the worker stands in need of the device of insurance. The State should make comprehensive pro vision for insurance against illness, in validity, unemployment and old age, So far as possible the insurance fund should he raised by levy on industry, as Is now done in the case of accident compensation. The industry in which a man is employed should provide him with all sthat is necessary to meet all the needs of his entire life. Therefore, any contribution to the insurance fund from the general revenues of the State should be only slight and temporary. For the same reason no contribution should be exacted from any worker who is not getting a higher wage than is required to meet the present needs of himself and family. Those who are below that level can make such con- tribution only at the expense of their present welfare Finally, the admins tration of the insurance laws should be such as to interfere as little as possible with the individual freedom of the worker and his family.

A New Spirit Vital Need.

"'Society,' said Pope Leo XIII, can be healed in no other way than by a return to Christian life and Christian institutions.' The truth of these words is more widely perceived to-day than when they were written, more than .wenty-seven years ago. Changes in our economic and political systems will have only partial and feeble eff ciency if they be not reinforced by the Christian view of work and wealth. Neither the moderate reforms advo- cated in this paper nor any other pro- gram of betterment or reconstruction will prove reasonably effective with out a reform in the spirit of both labor and capital The laborer must come to realize that he owes his employer and society an honest days work in return for fair wage and that conditions cannot be substantially improved until he roots out the desire to get maxi mum of return for minimum of serv- ice. The capitalist must likewise get new viewpoint. He needs to learn the long forgotten truth that wealth is stewardship, that proflt-making is not the basic Justification of business en- terprise and that there are such things as fair profits, fair interest and fair prices. Above and before all, he must cultivate and strengthen within his mind the truth which many of his class have begun to grasp for the first time during the present war-namely, that the labOrer is . human being, not mere ly an instrument of production and that the lsborer's right to a decent livelihood is the Arst moral charge upon industry. The employer has . right to get reasonable living out of his business. but he has no right Q h
 tersst On his investment until hie en- ployees have obtained et least living wagee. This h the human and Chris tiAn in contrast to the purely comEnsE. c,el ens pesea stAio sf hAsstTy.s

Housing for Working Glasses.

Housing projects for war workers which have been completed or almost completed by the Government of the United States have cost some forty million dollars and are found in eleven cities. While the Federal Government cannot continue this work in time of peace, the example and precedent that it has set and the experience and knowledge that it has developed should not be forthwith neglected and lost The great cities in which congestion and other forms of bad housing are dissracefHlly apparent ought to take up and continue the work at least to such an extent as will remove the worst features of special condition that is a menace at once to industrial efficiency, civic health, good morals and religion.

they were called upon tc i'll. One general principle Is clear: No female worker should remain ill any occupa- tion that Is harmful to health or nor ais. Women should disappear as quick ly as possible from such tasks as con 1ucting and guarding street cars, clean ing locomotives and a-great number of other activities for which conditions of life and their physique render them unfit Another general principle is that the proportion of women in industry ought 10 be kept within the smallest practical limits. If we have an eff scient national employment service, if q goodly number of the returned soldiers and sailors are placed on the land and if wages and the demand for goods are kept up to the level which Is eaSily at talnable all female workers who are displaced from tasks that they have been performing only since the begin ming of the war will be able to find suitable employments In other parts of the industrial field or in those domestic occupations which sorely need their presence. Those women who are en- gagged at the same tasks as men should receive equal pay for equal amounts and qualities of work.

National War Labor Board.

"One of the most beneficial govern mental organizations of the war is the National War Labor Board. Upon the basis of few fundamental principles unanimously adopted by the represent atives of labor, capital and the public it has prevented innumerable strikes and raised wages to decent levels in many different industries throughout the country. Its main guiding princi- ples have been q family living wage for all male adult laborers, recognition of the right of labor 10 organize and to deal with employers through its chosen representatives and no coercion of non- union laborers by members of the un- ion. The War Labor Board ought to be continued in existence by Congress and endowed with all the power for ef fective action that it can possess under the Federal Constitution. The princi- ples, methods, machinery and results of this institution constitute definite and far-reaching gain for social jus tice. No part of this advanta ge should be lost or given up in time of peace.

ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION
ON STATE SCHOOL FUND.

Public schools of this common
wealth, drawing funds from the
State School Fund, must maintain a
minimum of six hours of actual
teaching each day. This opinion was
given to the Frankfort Board of Ed
ucation by Attorney General Morris.
In the opinion Mr.. Morris quotes
section 1886 of the Kentucky Stat
utes, which read as follows:
six hours of actual work in the
schoolroom shall constitute a school
session and under no circumstances
shall the daily session, including re-
cesses and intermissions exceed nine
hours in length in any school of the
State"
The plain meaning of the statute,
Mr.. Morris says, is to require mini
mum Of six hours of actual teaching
in all the schools of the State by all
teachers who receive any part of the
money raised by taxation for school
purposes.
The Frankfort Board of Education
decided for two sessions of school
daily.
The opinion of Attorney General
Morris is of Statewide interest, as it
effects all of the public schools of this
commonwealth.
