TRAINING OR CULTURE?

THE plan which Doctor Finegan has
L proposed for the consolidation Of the
University Of Pennsylvania. the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh and State Col
lcgc, and the CO. ordination of effort in
other institutions Of learning that re-
ceive state aid. is favorite one with
academicians. Uni6cation Of control is
supposed to elevate school and college
standards and promote efficiency. What
II actually does in practice Is to further
dignity the accepted system and ac-
cepted codes. And it does make the
states money 20 further.
To a great many people who are be
wildered and distressed by the political
and social confusion Of the times il will
seem that the schools need something
more than greater efficiency in their
routine work. Popular education in
America needs a new element that is
not apparent in the average curriculum.
Tho schools need conscience and they
need vision. Can schoolmen tell what
their objective is? Can they define or
suggest objectives for the country
itself? Can they tell us where
VIC are going and why? And can
they describe the quality that is
lacking among those Of their graduates
whose diplomas are no assurance OF
loyalty or wisdom, no guarantee of an
honorable understanding of the obliga
tions which educated men cannot de
Gently avoid in a free society?
Is it culture. the education of the
spirit, that we need? Culture is out oi
fashion. Perhaps we shall have to re.
turn to it - II return Is possible

uERBBRT HoOvER'S criticism of
IL the Wilson admins ykration is that
IL has failed to make peace and that
it has failed to bring forward real solu-
tions of the tremendous problem Of re-
construction.
The fact that Mr.. Hoover has such
an incisive and sweeping criticism to
offer is referred to by those in his con-
fidence as a definite and clearly defined
answer to Senator Penrose's recent dec
laration that Mr.. Hoover would not be
considered in a Republican convention
because he is Wilson Democrat"
This and other phases of the Hoover
situation were discussed and developed
in conversation on the train which
brought Mr.. Hoover to Philadelphia
from New York last Saturday.
The same point Of view was brought
out in another way with the statement
that Mr.. Hoover would not be Re-
publican IL he approved Of the Wilson
policies. He is Republican and he
does not approve of the Wilson poll
cies. Mr.. Hoover finds, rather, a lack
of Wilson policies in these critical
times.
MIR. HOOVER is an idcalist whose
ANl idcalism is in touch with the daily,
ordinary intercourse of men and ma
tious. He is strongly opposed to what
some describe rs Wilsoniau idealsm,
which does not get anywhere. which is
visionary.
Mr.. Hoover's friends quote. in this
connection. n "Hooverism' which is
cnlightcning. This is:
"Tdcalism is not worth much unless
there is lot Of realism in it..
Another:
"Wsdom consists in knowing what
to do next rather than in everything in

tail intricate complications in the solu =

other problems have been worked out
on the basis Of a general peace. 4 sep

NEW YORK is making the only ex-
~ pertinent. since that made during
the war, Of interfering in the operation
Of supply and demand.
The law has fixed an arbitrary limit
of % per cent upon increases in rent.
Courts are enforcing the law and
granting n years stay to tenants whom
landlords seek to oust.
Cost of building has advanced 100
per cent.
Rents may advance no more than 20
per cent.
What is the answer?
Why. no more building. of course.
Not only no more building, but no
remodcling of existing structures, so as
to effect their more economical use.
This is fine for the lucky ones who
have quarters.
They cannot be put out nor can their

those who have no homes?
There are 1914 such persons in

BY autumn there will be 1O7, 900
more.
There Is nothing to encourage the

iteerug is that New York's efforts are
supported only by Attorney General
Palmer's investigation into the why
and wherefore of thirty five cent col

Examination of three samples of

Ben Hill, Crisp, Telfair and Will
cox counties are among the counties
in the 32,171 square mites or, terri
tory in the South that is released
from cattle tick quarantine in a neW
order issued by the United State,
Department 81 Agriculture, effective
on december LIST. it became known
here today.
In Georgia The following counties
are released from cattle tick quaran-
tine: Baker, Ben Hill, Bleckley, Bull
loch, Crisp, Decatur, Dodge. Dooly,
Evans, Glascock, Laurens, Macon,
Pulaski, Seminole, Taylor, Telfair,
and Wilcox.
The revised quarantine shows that
work against the cattle, tick general
ly is progressing very successfully.
Failure of local authorities, however,
to cooperate with State and Federal
officials in "mopping up" their sec
tons is responsible for many districts
still being held under quarantine
which, would otherwise be released.
1t is expected, however, that by next
year such cooperation will be secured
that much more substantial area
will be freed from quarantine.
