.nARELY is American leadership summon

which the United States Commissioner
of Education has called at Washina ton for

counseI on the urgent school problems that
confront every State and almost every
community in the nation. Not teachers alone

representatives from every field of the coun
trys common interests are hidden to this
meeting. The Secretary of Interior we'll says
IN appealing for cooperation from all States
counties and cities, 1.-The emergency in educa-
ton arising out of the present and prospec-
tive shortage of teachers is of so great i'm
portance as to justify the calling of a ma
tional conference"
In truth, it is a question of national de-
tense, question of saving the life-stream
that reneWs and preserves and keeps vigor-
the republics basic Institutions. There
cannot be free America unless there is an
educated America. Oligarches can get along
without schools for all the people, but democ-
racies cannot. Democracies are doomed if
they neglect the vital business of training up
citizens who not only can read and write and
function efficiently in material affairs but
VINO also can judge between demagogism and
craftsmanship, between truth and error and
who, after judging, have moral sinew to do
the right.
upon public school system for the earliest
and fundamental steps in this all important
training. Yet we have been so remiss in sup
porting that system, so short-sighteI in pro-
viding funds for it's improvement and eX-
tension and salaries for it's teachers, that it's
service is grievously impaired throughout the
Union and in some instances is threatened
with collapse. A multitude of teachers have
been forced out of their chosen profession
to seek a living wage, and in hundreds Of
communities, rural and urban alike, school
facilities are sadly inadequate to the ever
increasing demands on them. The time has
come when America must remedy these cQndi-
tons or suffer heavily in consequence. 1t
is we'll that there should be a national con-
ference on the emergency and that the sew
eral States should work heartily together in
solving their common problems. But the need
and the duty come home at last to each Com
monwealth, each county, each city and town,
and last of all to each home and each citizen.
Unless there is an awakening at these local
and individual centers, there will be little
progress in the larger effort. Let every Geor-
gian look earnestly into the school interests
of his own community and lend full-hearted
support to undertakings in their behalf

THE OVERALL CLUB
PV Dr Frank Crane

By DR.. Frank Crane
TIME Overall CLUB is step in the
right direction.
1t is the common sense of the
people asserting itslf.
Railing at profiteers is profitless for
they are only human beings, doing what
every one of us is doing all the time, to-
wit and namely: Asking ass big a price
as we think the customer will pay. And
SO long as the buyer goes on paying, the
seller will go on asking.
1t is simple, natural law, and you can
no more stop it by passing laws in the
state house, or screaming in the newspa-
pers, indulging in profanity on the
street corners than the W. k. Mrs. Part
ington could sweep back the incoming tide
of the sea with her petulant broom.
The only way to thwart the hog mer-
chants is to quit buying anything at a hog
price.
I want to join the Overall Club, and
will consider' it the proudest moment of my
life when my wife and other managers will
allow me to walk down the street in blue
jeans.
But that is ony a starter. What's the
matter with anti-jewelry club? Can't
we organize something to make the woman
whose fingers are covered with diamonds
realize that she is vulgar, and that decent
people resent her company?
And while we're at it, why not strike
those that use their money for luxury and
display, who enjoy the money with which
fortune has favored them, not to help any
body, not to encourage thrift and culture
and simplicity, but to hurt everybody, to
arouse envy, to stimulate extravaganza, vuI-
.garity, and every cheap and nasty senti-
ment?
1t only some movement could be set 60
ing to boycott the hotels that charge you
$40, not to furnish you bed on which to
stretch your weary body but for the priv
1lege OF stopping in the. same house with
some millionaire packer or movie star. and
Dragging about it when you get home to
Kokomo.
1t is not wicked perhaps-for you can
40 as you please with your money-but
on! II we could only make people see how
dlsgustingly vulgar it is to pay $175 for a
microscopic lambchop simply because we
are ashamed not to do as others do
A concerted movement toward the Simple
Life, II 1t were headed by social leaders of
distinction, and taken up by the Alumni
and Alumnae of the colleges, would do
more good than all the laws legislatures
could pass in a generation.
What are universities for, anyway. if not
TO lead us out of the bog of wretched yuI-
garlty into the ways Of culture?

T7HE appointment of Hon. Alex c. King
to the United States Circuit Court

T7HE appointment of Hon. Alex c. King
to the United States Circuit Court
for the Fifth district, embracing the
States of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Texas, will be greet
ed with hearty approval wherever those
high elements of intellect and character that
make for an ideal judiciary are priced. By
temperament and training alike Mr.. King is
admirably qualified for this great field OF
public service. AS an advocate at the bar,
even his keenest moments OF argument and
pleading have been notable for a poise and
fairness that are truly judicial, and for a
breadth of vision which only the truth-seek-
ing and truth-loving mind commands. With
these characteristics he combines rich knowl-
edge and profound comprehension of the law.
There nationwide satisfaction when
he was selected some two years ago to sue
coed Hon. John W. Davis, now ambassador
TO Great Britain, Solicitor General of
the United States. He has filled that office
with distinction, handling case after case in
a way that has meant much to the welfare
of the nation and it's people. His appoint
ment to the bench of the Circuit Court for
the Fifth district is to fill one of the two
vacancies caused by the death Of Judge Don
A. Pardee and the resignation of Judge Rob-
ert L., Bats The other appointee is Judge
Nathan P. Bryan, OF Jacksonville, former
