To the Editor Of The Journal.
Sir:-In regard to the article in the
last Journal on "A High School Edu-
cation" it should be borne in mind
that the education which fathers and
grandfathers of so many got at the
Seminary in years passed, was not
gotten with absolutely no effort or
self-denial on their part. In the old
days when men and women felt that a
high school education was to benefit
them they worked for it. Some taught
school till they had saved enough to
pay their way and some worked and
could only go to school in the winter
but they did it themselves.
In the town meeting where the vot.
ers didn't vote to meet the raised tut.
ton, il was not because they objected
to the Seminary or to the young
people having high school education
but because it begins to look to somt
Of the voters and taxpayers that the
average student is too anxious TO sii
back and expect the town, or at least
SoHlt one tlStt W uo al the iiaiu WOI
for him while he has no responsibility
at all not even TO make good in his
studies.
Most young people Of today have
more Injuries, more liberty and NOR,
money than their fathers and grand
fathers had and il seems to some Of US
that il would be more fitting for ths
young people to pay their own way
and earn their higher education with
some Of the money that is spent for
unnecessary dress, car hire, movies
and other pleasures.
II is very true that there are some
who may work and can not go to high
school unless their tuition is paid, but
those few can easily be taken care Of
and IL they make good and put in their
time in honest work while in school,
none Of the voters will object to help
ing.
II seems a little unreasonable for
the taxpayer who has no children and
a very small income 70 pay for the
higher education Of students who can
afford many Of the pleasures and lux
uries OF wealthy people.

SHAM PATRIOTS
Routed BY Western Educa
tor

San Francisco.-The state board of
education has checked the attempt of
anti-unionists to flood public schools
with their reactionary literature.
AS a starter a pamphlet entitled
America is Calling" was prepared,
but the board refused to commercial
ize patriotism and ordered that its
circulation in the schools be prohib-
tied
This aroused Samuel Leask, of San
ia Cruz, who protested and threaten
ed in letter to Will C. Wood, state
superintendent of public instruction.
In his reply the educator said:
"Do not be misled by your own
reasoning in matter of this kind.
1t was never intended that the schools
should be the battle ground for the
settlement of partisan or sectarian
questions The people of California
know what free and open discussion
is and cannot be deceived.
'They have barred sectarian and
partisan propaganda because it is
necessary to do this in order to pre-
serve the public school system.
As you state in your letter, the
people of this state have placed you
and the state board of education in
position of tremendous responsible
ity, vesting in you control over the
ideas which shall or shall not be placed
before their school children during
their school life"
I'VE admit the responsibility and
intend to meet it fully and impartial
ly, notwithstanding the threats and
cajolery of any set of men"

criticized for holding steel prices TO
the level fixed soon after the signing
of the armistice
The federal official calls on the
trust to reduce prices, which IS pos
sible without affecting wages or div
idends. He says that the official fig
ures of the trust show that in 1918
it charged on an average $50 more
than was necessary to pay dividends
on steel stocks for every ton of its
products. Earnings were so large
that during that year it could double
oil wages paid to its 268,71O em-
ployes and officers and have sur
rlus of nearly $10,000000.
"All the diabolic cunning and striy-
ing of the bolshevists of Russia"
said Mr.. Williams, "can do compara-
lively little harm here, little toward
creating revolutionary and destruct-
i've impulse, compared with the eff
fects of insistence by great corpor-
alton IN our midst such as yours, sup
posed to represent not cnly capital,
but character and brains, on using
the power given it by circumstances
and the law to exact that last hairs
weight of its pound of flesh
"No insidious, sneaking propagan
da of high or low brow apostles of
ruin could put in the popular mind
so much poison as refusal BY such I
corporation to do its part toward solv-
ing a great and difficult problem, re-
viving industry and business activi-
ties and promoting prosperity and the
peace and happiness of humanity.
Il realize your desire as an ex-
ecutive to do the best possible for
your stockholders. | contend, how
ever, tnat profits for them, such as
you gathered in during the war years,
were not reasonable and in the pres
ent condition of the country that your
prices are excessive and unjustifiable. "

COLBY INVITES IRIG0YEN
TO VISIT UNITED STATES

BCENOS AIRES. January S.-Presi-
dent Irigoyen was invited by Secre-
tary of State Colby, in President Will
sons name, during Mr.. Colby's visit
here, to pay a visit to the United
States. says La Epoca, the govern
ment organ, which sees in the invi-
tation great significance, in view of
the policy pursued by Argentina dur
ing the war and her recent with
drawal from the Geneva meeting of
the league of nations.
Although President Irigoyen was
unable to accept the invitation, says
the newspaper, the fact of it's extern
sion shows 1.-THE respect inspired at
Washington by Argentina's vigorous
and original foreign policy. 1t sig
nifies a spontaneous recognition of
the high place which Argentina has
attained in the new world, and the
necessity of seeking it's collabora-
ton in the orientation of future pam
American policies"
La Epoca also prints wireless ex-
changes between Secretary Colby and
President Irigoyen in which the pres
ident said:
1.-The messages from the great
American people and from your great
President. which you have SO lucidly
expressed, and the coincidence in all
the ideals which we have discussed
produce in my mind a deep conviction
of most effective harmony in the COM
munity of orr nations"

LETTER DEUCE

OF 81 CHILDREN

RALEIGH, N. c., January 10
Since nationwide publicity has
been given to the fact that Reu-
ben Bland of Robersonville, Beau
fort county. was the proud father
of thirty-four children, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bland have been deluged with
letters from persons all over the
United States and Canada.
The letters are from both women
and men. Excerpts from a few
of them follow:
A man in Ohio writes:
Il read the story about your
large family aloud to my wife.
There's a man who ought to be
given medal I told her. There's
a man who ought to be hanged
she retorted."
A writer in Oregon sent this:
Reuben, Reuben, am thinking.
You are quite nifty man.
To your health I am drinking,
You have done what few men
can"
From Navarro, Ohio. Mr.. Bland
received this:
I'm the father of eight children
and I have an awful time keeping
them in food and clothing. I've
worried a lot, but since reading
about your big family 1 realize
that I'm a lucky guy"

REPORTS WOUNDED

Legion Head Charges Woeful
/ Neglect of Veterans by
| Government Agencies.

Suffering, shameful neglect and
injustice have been the lot of men
disabled during the world war. and
this condition can be remedied only
by a consolidation of the three agen-
cies through which the government
. is attempting to aid them, according
to a memorial which Col. F. w. Cal
braith, jr.. national commander OF
the American Legion, to-day present.
ed to President-elect Harding at
Marion, Ohio.
Copies of the memorial also have
been delivered to President Wilson,
to members of Congress and to some
5000 speakers who are members OF
the American Legion, and who will
attempt to direct public attention to
the neglect of the disabled
Col. Galbraith last week appeared
before the interstate and foreign COM
merce committee of the House in the
interest of the Rogers bill, which
would combine the work af the public
health service, the vocational educa-
and place it in charge of single
bureau head in the Department of the
Interior. The information contained
in the memorial presented today
amplifies that which was given before
the committee.
In the rehabilitation of the dis
abled man there are three needs,
medical treatment, vocational train
ing and financial support" the memo
rial reads. THE government has
recognized the three needs, but over
looks the fact that they are the
simultaneous needs of one man, not
of three different men or of one man
at three different times. 1t makes
three problems out of what really is
one three-part problem.
Veterans Suffering, He Says.
The result is the suffering Of the
veteran. Thousands are wait
ing and have waited for months for
compensation for their injuries Thou
sands have waited for months for an
to re-eStabliSh themselves
as self-sustaining members of society
by vocational training. Thousands are
in need of disqualification and the
government has no hospital facilities
available for them. Sixteen thousand
beds are needed now.
Hundreds of veterans are the OBJ
jects Of public and private charity.
Afflicted and penniless veterans have
been driven to refuge in almShouSes

mediate relief is not forthcoming
more will die, destitute, without proper
medical care, without compensation
