EDUCATION AND
DEMOCRACY
Continued From Preceding Page)

Continued From Preceding Page)
There is a world of difference be-
tween being able TO pronounce
able to interpret written language.
Our army tests revealed the start
ling fact that hundreds of thou
sands of our young men could not
intelligently follow printed or oral
directions.
An elementary school education
is not a sufficient preparation for
life because 1t comes to an end
while the learner is yet a child.
But not all of our people secure
such education as is afforded by
the elementary schools. In fact,
only about one-half of the pupils
who enter school complete the
work of the eighth grade. The
educational process must go fur
Their in shaping ideals, developing
character, forming habits and In
training the individual to think for
himself. The habit Of engaging
in constructive thinking is one of
the chief fruits of an education.
UNIVERSAL HIGH SCHOOL
EDUCATION NEEDED.
Fifty years ago law requiring
attendance at school between the
ages of seven and fourteen would
have appeared to most people a
monstrous imposition. Today we
have gone beyond this in many
states and we realize how made
quate 1t Is. Our minimum educa-
tional requirement should be grad
uation from high school.
In 1918 there were enrolled In
the public secondary schools OF
the United States not quite 2.000,-
600 students. Our total school
population during the same year
was about 20,000,0OO. In other
words about ten percent of our
school population were enrolled IN
secondary schools. In California
there were nineteen, in New Hamp-
shire eighteen, in Massa chusetts
seventeen and in New Mexico four
and one-half per cent.
1t will be said that we have large
numbers of intelligent and sue
cessful men and women who have
not had the advantages of a high
school education. This is granted,
but these men and women were
from childhood possessed of I'M
usual ability or perseverance, OF
both. They succeeded in spite Of
a great handicap. and with a high
school education their success
could have been much greater. For
every successful individual whose
education did not extend beyond
the elementary schools there are
many unsuccessful ones.
THE COST OF EDUCATION.
We are constantly reminded that
education is tremendously expen-
sive and that we have about
reached the limit. There are in
the United States some 700. 900
teachers and the number is stead
lily increasing. The average annual
salary of these teachers is $635.00.
The average earnings of the car
penter, bricklayer, plumber, po-
liceman. fireman and various other
workers Is greater. Our total year.
ly expenditure for public educa-
ton is about $3.50, 100000 or 1925
per capita.
For tobacco we expend annual
ly more than $4,000, 100000 or
nearly $4,000 per person. Our
candy bill is $1,000, 100000 per
year. or nearly $1,000 per person.
For perfumery and cosmetics we
spend as much as we spend for

we're safe, driving a dog team 100 miles
to announce their arrival at Moose Fac
tory and file Hiltons telegram to the
Navy authorities.
The balloonists had no idea Of their
location after having been aloft two days,
Mcleod said. They thought they were
over New York State Their gas bag
kept sagging toward the earth and from
time to time they dropped suddenly out
of the low clouds and saw the snow
covered ground leaping toward them.
Instruments, sand bags rope, every
thing that could be considered ballast
was thrown overheard to tighten the bal
loon. As their trip drew to n close they
found themselves scudding close over the
top OF a dense woods, from which they
knew they probably would never emerge
alive, and it was only by sacrificing
everything except what they needed alb

MAN, WALKING
IN STREET, HIT,
KILLED BY AUTO
Richard Craig's Skull Frac'
tured and He Dies Within
Ten Minutes.
DRIVER UNDER ARREST

Richard Craig, 81, of SO2 South Ad-
olson avenue, was struck and killed by
an automobile driven by Herman Flake,
II, of 1217 Raisner street, while walking
on Belmont avenue 100 feet south of ths
Pennsylvania railroad tracks at 6 80
o'clock this morning,
Flake was arrested by Sergeant Shee-
han and is charged with manslaughter.
Craig was identified by his son, Will
liam II. Craig, who viewed the body at
the city morgue. The body was re
moved to the Parlors Of Royster & As
kins by order OF Dr.. Paul Robinson,
coroner.
At the point where the accident oc-
CURED the street is paved and there is
a curbing on each side, but no side
walk. Flake was driving north In Bel
mont avenue and Craig was also walk
ing north. Craig was within two feet Of
the west curb when struck by the auto
mobile. Flake explained the fact that he
was driving on the left side of the street
by saying that there were three men
walking north on the east side OF the
street and that he wanted to avoid hit
ting them, thinking be could also es'
cape hitting Craig. Marks on the street
indicated that Flake had swerved from
TIE AtHAE EAQt VI tue bLANtN ~ AhN ASA ~
and struck the curb, then swerved ou,
and about twenty feet from that point
struck Craig.
Craig's skull was fractured. BE was
carried into a railroad office near the
scene OF the accident and died In ten
minutes.
Flake is a foreman for the Link Belt
Company and was on his way to work.
In his car were his brother Harold
Flake, his sister Hazel Flake, Miss Mar
garet Aubrey, 1928 South Sheffield ave-
nue. and william McCuen, 1914 South
Sheffield avenue, all employed at the Link
Belt Company.
There was nothing In Craig's pockets
identify him. Finally the police
earned that his home was on West
McCarty street. about five blocks from
the scene Of the accident. One woman
went to police headquarters with the
officers, but found that the body was
not that Of her husband and later the
)olice found William Craig, who iden-
titled the body as that of his father.

BALANCE OF CITY
FUNDS UNKNOWN
Books Will Not Be in Shape
for Month.

An attempt to learn just how much the
administration of Mayor Charles W.
Jewetr has spent out of each Of the funds
created by the city councils annual ap-
propriation ordinance for 1920 has failed
for the reason that all of the bills Of the
month Of December have not been paid
and because the books Of City Comp
troller Robert II. BrysOn, according to
his own statement VIII not be in shape
to show the balance for two or three
weeks.
Thus, the city viii not know exactly
how 1t stands financially for almost a
month after the close of the old year.
1t cannot be determined whether the ad-
ministrntion spent more than was ap-
propriated ont of any Of the funds until
the comptroller gets his books made mp.
There are only Il few more than thirty
of these separate funds The comptroller
is charged by law with the duty Of seeing
at all times that none are overdrawn.
Yet ne announced Tuesday that It will be
two or three weeks before the books will
be in such shape that scrutiny by a re-
porter will disclose true conditions.
The delay in balancing the funds also
will prevent verihcation at this time of
the comptroller's statement on New Year 3
day that the city would open 1921 with
a cash balance Of approximately 100000
in the general fund. Two days after Mr..
Bryson issued this statement he request
ed the city council to give him pernIis-
sion to negotiate temporary loans for a
total OF $4,000 with which to tide over
the departments operating out Of the city
general fund and the health department
until the May installment Of tax money is
received from the county treasurer.

Senator New Wires Chamber
Headquarters Statement.

Senator Harry s. New has wired John
r. Reynolds. general secretary OF the
Indianapolis Chamber OF Commerce, that
the adjutant generals office Mt washing
ton has advised him that the abandon
ment Of Ft. Benjamin Harrison as head
quarters OF the 9th Army Corps is not
under consideration.
The fort is too important a post to be
given up. There are few buildings
that were erected temporarily during
the training school period which are be-
ing salvaged, but the fort always will be
used said Senator News wire, quoting
the ndiutant generals office.
The issue came up with the including
in Secretary Of War Bakers budget sub
mitted TO Congress Of an item for more
than $30000 600 to be used in erection of
buildings at Ft. Sherman so that that
post could be made headquarters for the
5th Army Corps.
Immediately on receipt Of the news of
the contemplated move Mr.. Reynolds
began to bring pressure to stop it. The
item was cut ont Of the war budget II

Credits.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Secretary of
Treasury Houston summoned his advls-
ers into conference today to determine
methods OF reyiviHg the export loan
operations of the war finance corpora
ton. Sixty, or possibly ninety days
may elapse before credit machinery can
be set up to provide the benefits directed
by Congress when It passed the meas
ure over the Presidents veto, officials
said.
Flotation of a large issue Of corpora
ton bonds TO provide credit for ship
ments OF farm products probably will be
decided on. The size Of such bond
issue and other details In connection
with revival of the corporations export
loan functions are TO be determined.
An unexpected delay also may appear
through the necessity OF adding two
members to the corporation. When ths
loan operations were suspended, two va
cancies were created. The corporation
now has three directors. Revival OF the
loan work neeessitates the flllisg OF the

MATTICE, Ont, Jan. 5.-Small fakes
of snow which sifted downward under
the urge Of a biting cold north wind were
watch with trepidation by little group
here today awaiting the arrival of three
American Navy airmen from Moose Fac
tory.
: The snow will at least delay the arrival
of the airmen until Sunday, in the opin-
ion of George Mcleod, the Indian courier,
who Travelled 200 miles over the frozen
northern snow to send the message of
safety of the naval officers. The three
men descended in a balloon near Moose
Factory, after drifting from Rockaway
Point, N. Y.
Dogs are not plentiful at such out
posts of civilization as Moose Factory
and Mcleod believed only one team
would be available for the trip of the
Americans. Frequent stops win have TO
