A MONSTER TO DEvoUR us

Under the above frightful head
the Augusta Chronicle makes this ref
erence and comment upon Senator E.
d. Smith, of South Carolina, quoting
him as follows:
II was one of the legislators that
helped to frame the Federal Reserve
legislation. 1t was our intention to
provide for social needs of the farm
ers by more elastic currency system.
But If you fail him now in the hour
OF his extremity when the export mar
kets of the world are closed and the
home demand fails, then it will look
more as if we had created Franken-
stein monster to devour us.
"With prices falling and staple
crops selling for half the cost of pro-
ducing them, the farmer must have
help or go under. For several years
the manufacturers of goods have been
able to name their own prices and
regulate their markets, but in times
of toppling prices the farmer has no
relief unless you grant it. 1t is absurd
to call farmer profiteer when he
can control neither the price of the
goods he buys nor the crop he sells"
The South is fortunate in having q
man to put matters up so forcefully
and so truthfully to the Federal Re-
serve Board and we cannot doubt that
the most powerful agitation that has
been going on for several weeks is
going to result in great good. 1t ap-
pears that we have an academic sec
retary of the treasury, former col
lege professor from Missouri, who
coldly turns the farming interests
down when they make their appeal
for aid, while the Southern banker
from Birmingham, Ala, who heads
the Federal Reserve System, has at
one time flambouyantly stated that
the Reserve Board would not help
the farmers to hold for higher
prices and at other times he saws
there is plenty of money to be had
for the orderly marketing of the crop.
The truth about it is that neither the
secretary of the treasury nor the Fed
eral Reserve Board has any idea of
helping the farmers unless they are
compelled to do so.

THE BIG BUSINESS
OF EDUCATION


Education is the nations biggest
business for according to recent rec
ords, almost one-fourth of the coun-
try's population is turning to the
work of education as pupil or teach
er.
Such big business is not the con-
cern of pupils and teachers alone; it
is for every man and woman in the
country, lawyer and seamstress, groc-
er and housewife, it is yours and
mine. Coming down to concrete facts,
what can the average farmers wife
do to make the school better? She can
call meeting of the woman's club to
consider school needs. This can ap-
point committees and individuals to
do what is necessary.
Some of the work that will be
found necessary in many schools is:
G) To repair cold, drafty, poor
ROOFS so as to prevent lite feet
from suffering.
(2) Ventilate so that hot, draftless
upper air will not stunt brains and
devitalize the blood.
(3) Rooms that are dark should be
given more windows.
(4) Windows wrongly placed re-
quire proper shades to prevent glare.
(5) Encourage beauty.
(6) Music Of all kinds should be
encouraged.
CD Provide for hot lunches.
(S) Boarding places for teachers
;hauld be arranged in advance.
Do you realize that teachers re-
quire rest and quiet to do their study
ing for the next days work? They
need good food, for indigestion and
headache in the teacher take from
the child that something impaired on
ly when cheeriness and spontaneity
are present.
| If the women of the neighborhood
cannot take the teacher to board
easily, then they should start move
ment to build teachers home or a
| 1dormitory. Many neighborhoods make
teachers comfortable and they are the
ones that justly get the best.-The

There are better and wiser ways OF

seem that the reserve board coula'
with higher purpose and sounder
;,,drment, address its efforts toward
curbinr the excessive profits OF the
drv goods manufacturers and mer-
chants instead of supporting cam
paien which means ruin to the COT
ton producing industry.
1t is quite true that the high cost
Of cotton goods might be reduced
without any objection from the
manufacturer and without affecting
his margin of profit, by forcing the
farmer through financial restrictions
and the propaganda Of despair into
selling his crop at a sacrifice, but
such consumm&tion, although 1t
might win temporary applause,
would inevitably react in terms OF
disaster upon the manufacturing IN
dustrv upon all the users Of cotton
goods and upon the country at large.
If the cotton producers are forced
to sell the coming crop at the cost
or less than the cost Of production,
thew will rot only be unwilling to
plant another crop sufficient for the
worlds needs, but they will be un-
able to do so.

versaries are strong, the situation is
by no means hopeless. On the con-

Let us, for the moment, close our

afraid, take stock of the situation,
find the remedy and apply the same.
