Has any statistician or economist
or inancier or statesman or dema-
gogue ever been able to figure out
who has been benefited by this de-
flation? We have yet to find a nah
who has profitted by it, while teem-
ing millions have lost heavily.
Here's some good advice, although
.sratuitous: When you get to be
president of these United States don't
serve but one term. If you do, you'll
probably lose during the second term
all the honors you won IN the hrst.
Profit by the experience of others.

your community of this vampire.

7 whereas, the experience the war
reveals vast elements of population
that are illiterate, physically unfit, or
unfamiliar with American ideals and
traditions; and our future strength
and security are much dependent on
their education and commitment to
American ideals:
wherefore, l, Warren G. Harding,
President Of the United States, do
urge the Governors of the various
States and Territories to set apart
December to 10, inclusive, 1921, as
American Education Week during
which;
"Citzens in every State are urged
to give special and thoughtful atten-
tion to the needs and aids of the pub
lie schools. 1t is particularly recon-
mended that efforts be addressed to
practical expression of community in
terest in public education. To that end
organizations for civic advancement
and social betterment are earnestly
requested when is can be made prac-
tIcablc, to provide, programs which
will inform the people concerning the
vital needs in this direction, instruct
them regarding shortcomings and de-
flclencles in present facilities and
bring to their attention specific, con-
structive methods by which, in the
respective communities these deficicn
cies may be supplied.
: "The subject of public education,
has always been very close to the
American heart, and to the fact that
1t has been made chief responsible
lty of local governmental units, we
largely owe the wide diffusion of edu
cational facilities. 1t is believed that
widespread and earnest effort at
observance of education week would
do much to emphasize this feeling of
Immediate responsibility Therefore it
is suggested that the pulpit, press,
schools, and public gatherings be en-
listed in behalf of this special effort"
