Containing a fnaI mighty wsllop
at George Cresl. former head OF the
Committee on Public Information. the
report OF the Joint Committee on
Printing has been made public.
The committee found that various
branches Of the Government were
publishing 26S journals, magazines

S2.bo0,000 a year. As a result OF the
investigation and regulation adopted
by the committee, Ill OF the period

have been discontinued. The com
mittee also reduced the held printing
bill by ss9s.i00.
In its inquiry OF Government perl
| odicals the committee found that al
most every branch OF the service un-
dertook TO conduct a newspaper or
magazine and that frequently helds
were exploited ilegitimately. The re-
port says;
such cravings for limelight un-
doubtedly were inspired by the bonn
bastic activities OF the Committee on
Public Information. headed by that
master publicist George creel.

engaged in praise OF liquor.
The committee recommended an Of

whether anything illegal occurred in
connection with the death OF the "Of-
ficial Bulletin" the organ OF the Com
mittee on Public Ina rmation, and its
resurrection as the "Ofricial y. s.
Bulletin" under the direction OF Roger
Babson, of Boston.
The bulletin, according to the CON-
mittee. was turned over to Babson
without the Government receiving q
penny Of compensation. For this rea-
son. the report says:
whether any recovery can now be
had from any OF these parties for the
value OF the assets thus secretly and
wrongfully turned over to Babson.
the committee Is not advised. but II
recommends that proper steps be
taken by the law officials Of the Gov

any or all OF the persons concerned
In this transaction for the purpose OF
obtaining just compensation to the

the wording OF the banners was an

that the fact that Miss Barrie passed

showed intent to insult.

NEW COUNTY BOARD OF
EDUCATION

Last week the powers conferred
upon the new County Board Of Ed
ucation by the bill providing for
its election, were mentioned. I will
now present the reasons for giving
TO this board such large powers as
compared with those possessed by
the present Board.
The Appointment OF the County
Superintendent
The power 10 appoint the County
School Superintendent is probab-
ly the greatest and the most i'm
portant power given 10 the new
Board. This may seem TO some
an unwise step, but a little thought
will show the wisdom OF the change.
The business Of public education is
every year becoming a more difn-
cult one because Of the many sub
iects which have been added 10 the
Course Of Study within a genera
ton. and the large number OF
social problems which are being
reached through the schools. In the
past, about all that was required
Of County superintendent was that
he be honest and capable OF carry
ing on the business connected with
payment Of teachers, building houses
etc. But !, is not so now. Educa-
ton has become complex. and is as
much a professional matter as is
medicine or law, and in order that
il may be administered 10 the best
advantage il must be in the hands
Of one thoroughly trained for the
work. Many Of our county super
intendents at present are faithful
and efficient. hut they have small
power. and the conditions OF their
election make IL impossible that
they enter the work as a profession.
The City Superintendent is, on the
other hand, a professional school
man. II is possible for him TO grow
in his profession, because, in case
he makes good in one town or city,
he can be called 10 another which
offers better salary and enlarged
opportunities for service. In this
way the young men and women who
wish TO enter school work as a life
calling seek positions as graded or
high school Principals, for from
these positions hey may be al.
vanced TO City Superintendencies in
any part Of the country. As a re-
suit, the children Of the rural COM
munity Il" not. On Tie average, have
schools as well organized and as
wisely administered as the children
OF the towns and cities, with the re-
suit that many OF our best rural
citizens are leaving their farms in
order that they may obtain better
educational advantages for their

Western Newspaper Union News Service

Western Newspaper Union News Service
New York.-Baron d'Estournelles de
Constat, well remembered in the Uni
ted States as an enthusiastic advocate
Of peace, who, nevertheless, after the
European war was declared supported
every measure taken in France to re-
sist German invasion and to defeat
the German army, wrote to his friends
In the United States some two years
ago expounding his view as to what
should be the relation of the allies to
Germany after the war was ended.
The Baron Is life member Of the
French Senate. He is esteemed as
worthy to rank with the most intellec-
tual of Frenchmen today. His lecture
tour in the United States year before
the European war began was attended
in the aggregate by many thousands,
and he did much to promote feeling in
favor Of the International League of
France. Dispatches from Europe make
IL clear that the view which was held
by the Baron two years ago, and al
most exclusively by him, now is ell
tertained by the allied nations.
1t is reported that Lloyd George adj
vocated at the recent London confer
ence of the allied Premiers such ar
rangement as will enable Germany to
float a very large international loan,
chiefly in the neutral European coun-
tries, but also in South America and,
If possible, in the United States. This
proposition does not differ in princi-
pies, although II does in some details.
from the view taken by Baron DIST.
ournelles two years ago. He regarded
ii as essential, not only to Germany's
industrial recovery, but to information
al trade, that all reasonable aid be ex--
tended to Germany so that she might
build up her industries, begin again to
trade with other nations, and In that
way obtain income which would ena-
BILE her to pay her debts, to meet what
ever requirements for reparation were
exacted, and, furthermore, to receive
and pay for imports, especially of raw
materials as well as railroad and in
dustrial supplies and equipment from
other nations
1t is the belief of some of those who
have studied present-day conditions
and who are of influence in our own
financial world, that II there be wise
and reasonable precautions and ade-
quate security it would be the part OF
wisdom for the United States to par
ticipate in such loan to Germany as
Lloyd George has now proposed, il
only the German Government backs
any loan with negotiable securities
which are sure to have intrinsic valuei
powers. A proposal Of this kind Is
spoken of here as sufficient to prove
the somewhat desperate conditions
which prevail in Germany. Unless Ger
many can recover and become indus
trially strong there is danger Of col
lapse. The reaction upon the other
nations which German collapse would
cause would entail conditions which
are spoken of as sure to be serious and
possibly dangerous.

children. With the coming Of the
appointive County Superintendent.
however, all is changed. Any young
man or woman may study for this
work, and when prepared TO do IL
well will be eligible for appoint
ment in any one of the 100 counties
Of the State. The salary provided,
a minimum Of $1,000, while not 50
high as il should be, compares well
with salaries paid by small towns
and high schools, and there is moth.
ing TO prevent a wide-awake county
from securing the services OF as
good a school man as there is in
the State by showing a willingness
to pay what such a person is worth.
A few years ago, when Alabama
enacted a law similar TO the one
recently passed by our Legislature,
one county offered State Superin-
tendent Faeger such an attractive
salary and such fine opportunity 10
build up a school system that he re-
signed his state Office 10 accept the
county position. Under the old law,
however, it was impossible for a
person TO look upon County Super
intendency as a life work, for only
the county Of his residence was
open to him, and then only pro-
vided his political inclinations wers
right, and he possessed marked abil-
ity as vote-getter.
To those who claim that the new
law removes power from the peo-
pie, let me say that the people elect
the County Board, knowing with
what powers il is clothed, and that
IFS acts will be their acts. They
must place men and women OF the
highest character, and fine ability
on the Board so that the welfare Of
the children Of the county will be
the only motive that will influence
them in the exercise OF their duties.
No one living in a town or city
would think Of proposing that a
superintendent OF Schools for that
educational unit be elected by pop
ular vote on a party ticket, from
residents Of the district. On the
other hand they would expect the
Board that they elect TO seek far
and wide for the best person avail
able to put in charge OF their chill
dren. Why, then, should not the
County Superintendent, who has
the entire responsibility .for the
management Of the schools from
which the children of the farm are
TO secure their education, be chosen
in manner calculated to bring the
county as high a type OF profess
sional ability as that which the
towns and cities enjoy? Nothing is
too good for the children of the
open country.
