NATIONAL SECURITY LEAGUE
WARNS OF GRAVE CONDITIONS
Uses Findings Of Federal Commission
er Of Education to Arouse People to
National Peril Involved.

New York, Sept IS. - Aroused by
the statement of DR.. Philander p. Clax-
ton, Federal Commissioner of Educa-
ton, calling attention to the serious
condition of the educational system of
the country on the opening of the new
school year, due to inadequate school
buildings and insufficient teachers, the
National Security League issued a
public warning to the people of the
country generally to beware the re-
suit.
The League declares that theh foun-
dation of America and her institutions
is nthe schools and that the situation
pointed out by DR.. Claxton contains
elements of the gravest national dan
ger, particularly in view Of present
radical agitations. The League says
that the remedy is to be found only in
more money being spent on education,
NhlCii Will NC uoic lcduiiy IL Iuc pew
pie of the country are aroused to the
true state of affairs.
On this point, the League says:
"The amount of money spent for ed
uCation before the war ranged from
about thirty to sixty dollars per child
per annum That this amount has been
untterly insufficient was clearly dem
onstrat ID by the Army Examination
Board, which showed an appalling
amount of illiteracy and ignorance
among the recruits. While teachers
salaries are being increased somewhat
here and there, the amount which will
be spent for education during 1920
will probably not exceed the amount
spent in 1916 by more than 80 per cent
l.. conformity with the advance in the
cost of living, this amount should be
doubled to maintain education even
on the inadequate pre-war level. How
ever, to KEEP the United States same fol-
Democracy, and to keep down Com.
munism, and to assimulate the large
numbers of foreigners and their chill
dren,, broader and more liberal pro
gram of education is most essential.
IF education and understanding
could be made to permeate into ever!
mind, Communism would be impos
sible.
People always have and always viii
dislike paying taxes, but experience il
the United States has taught that ther'
is one object on which people do no
begrudge contributing and that is ed
ucation."
A special Committee on Education
composed of several members of tn
National Executive Committee of TIL
National Security League, will shortl
inaugurate campaign with the OBJ
ject of broadening, expanding and lib
eralizing education, and the activ
support of men and women of civi
spirit is now being solicited for tina
purpose.

ed carefully in the rules of health and
hygiene. They are taught that clean
Illness is not chiefly a matter of COM
plying with social requirements to be
classed in the same category as ones
costume. Instruction is given in the
elementary rules Of health and the
children are impressed with the 'neces-
sity of properly caring for the teeth,
| hair, hands and nails, not only for the
sake of appearances, but because Of
the value Of such practices in main
tanning sound health
Parents who have not formed habits
following these simple practices will
not only greatly benefit themselves,
but will encourage the children by OBJ
serving the same health rules. All
parents should know what the children
are being taught--that observance of
the elementary rules of health and ny
giene is the most effective weapon
against sickness and death, especially
in the case of epidemics.
Regarding the educational phase
there is to be said: Every child in the
state will ultimately become a mem
Der of one of two great classes-as-
sets and liabilities. Those who upon
attaining their majority are qualified
to earn their living and become law
abiding and thrifty members of the
community are classed as assets.
Those who become ne'erdowells, or
who as criminals or unfortunates be-
come social outcasts, are listed as Ii
abilities.
Any one will readily concede that
education is the nations greatest wea-
pom against the major ills of society
crime, vice and poverty. Education
qualities men and women to work in
diligently, instills in them the desire
to live in accordance with the pre-
scribed rules of society and so shape
their lives and minds that they fit
properly into the social scheme.
Hence, it is apparent that men and wo..
men are handicapped in the battle Of
life in ratio commensurate with the
meagreness of their education.

THE AUTOMOBILE HARVEST

The Census Bureau contributes
some interesting statistics to the
question of the deadly nature of the
automobile and the means by which
it NAV be made less so. Unfortunate
" the statistics are one-sided and
therefore incomplete. They do not
give us a complete survey of the SIT.
uation. They show the number OF
deaths and the increase, but they 90
not show the number of machines and
their increase so that comparison
might be had 1t would be interesting
to know whether the number of
deaths in proportion to the number of
automobiles operated is increasing or
decreasing. That would give US n
better idea of whether or not the
drivers and pedestrians are becoming
more careful or more Cn"oi",~.
cording to the figures g'"'n ~,
deaths in 1918 were BOSS "rt ~
38OS, an increase of 2t5. The uc"c"'.t
age for 1919 is given at Ill for o'o"iI-
100000 Of population, which is palp-
able error if the population Of the whole
country is ment. a brief calculation
will show that 3S0S is but 81 per lO0,-
900 of the national population of lO5,-
100000 and but little more than that
if continental population only is con
sidered. Figures for individual cities
are correctly given at 14.0 for Greater
New York, 1913 for Chicago, 1877 fol
St. Louis. "a for New Orleans, 13.l fol
Kansas City and So for Richmond
Youngstown, Ohio, stands at the head
with 2S.5. Since the great majority
of fatalities occur in the cities it is ar
absurdity to place the national aver
age above the averages of the chic
cities of the country unless that aver
age is secured by merely taking al
average of the sixty-six cities reporte'
upon. That method would not onl.
give an incorrect average for tn
whole country, but also for the cite
reported on, since te very large aver
age of the small city Of Youngstow
is figured in with the much smaller av
erage of the great city of New YORK
Averages and percentages are tn
most Elusive and delusive things

are increasing or decreasing in pro

Here in st. Louis we have an accider
ratehigher than New York in proper
ton to population. Specifically tina
looks bad, but we also have more au
tomobiles in proportion to the popu

HEALTH AND
EDUCATION WEEK

This week, beginning Sunday, Dec.
3, has been set aside in Missouri by
proclamation of Governor Gardner as
"Health and School Week." The
week will be generally observed
through the nation as "School Week"
in accordance with the plan proposed
by U. S. Commissioner of Education
Claxton and at the request of various
health organizations in the state the
Governor has also designated the
week as Health Week"
Churches and civic organizations
are urged to cooperate with the
schools in the observance of the va
rious programs prepared that a
more intimate knowledge of the rules
and practice of health and hygiene and
of sound principles and elective prac-
tice in education. may be promoted
and maintained in Missouri"
The churches and civic bodies of
this city have arranged to cooperate
an various programs during the week
and it is to be hoped that the parents
of the city will cooperate to the ex
tent of attending as many meetings
as possible in order that they become
better acquainted with the advantages
of. better health and hygiene stand
ards and with the great value and ne
cessity Of education.
| Unfortunately many parents are
either too busy or too indifferent to the
interests of their children to give any
serious consideration to their develop
ment. Many of these parents have
been deprived Of educational oppor-
tunites and, likewise, have never ac<
,guired intimate knowledge Of health

of streets, use of machines in con-
gested districts and other elements of
the problem as whole What we
ought most to know is whether or
not accidents increase in proportion to
the number of machines. If they do,
then the safety campaign needs in
tensifying. They ought to decrease
as familiarity makes more automatic
the observance of safety rules. How
ever, regardless of averages, etc, here
is a new peril to life which has come
into our civilization. 1t does not ev-
en- approximately approach industrial
fatalities, but it is bad enough and
should be reduced to the minimum by
more regulation as well as by teach
ing the principles of carefulness and
consideration for others to both pc
destrians and drivers.
