Politics Handicap Business

The Postmaster General admits that after ten years of activity the Postal Savings system is failure.
 In effort to revive the system, it proposed to interest rates postal savings from two to three per cent and make active campaign to funds Increasing postal savings rates would not increase thrift saving any than at present it would simp tend to draw money out of private banks which loan such funds for useful purposes.
 5 A. B. Adams President of the First National Bank of Youngstown Oho has demonstrated in his own nsti- tuton the fasity of any assumption that the foreigner for whom the postal savings system was largely estab- shed prefers the government his savings banker He says: 1 t m sg 9 sf
 Banking facilities far extensive per capita ef population in the sparcey settled states than the others No lack of such facilities has been found and probably cannot be found
 The argument for postal savings system is sincere, but type of that present marked tendency of groups of citizens to assume national need out of is- olated cases then that governmental action is necessary obtain the establishment of new bureaucrat at Washington if original plan fais extend it on the theory that the government stands committed and quite regardless of the effect upon existing private agencies

 Planning to build home now Is at it's height. That is, those who are go- ing to have a new house this year are busily engaged scanning plans of all kinds, with the desire to select the sort of home they will build, so that the contractor may get it started at the earliest possible moment
 The selection of the home building design is one of the most important steps in securing a home. For upon the proper picking of the design of both the exterior and the interior de bends the happiness and comfort of the family after the new house is oc- cupied.
 There are several things that should be considered in selecting the design and securing the plans for new home. First, how much money is available? Second, how many are there in the family. and third, the size and loca- tion of the lot.

 This little house contains five rooms of fair size, all conveniently located and providing an ideal home for fam fly of small size. Exteriorly, it is good to look on, and will give the owner the satisfaction of knowing that he has an exceptionally attractive home.

In 1920 he discovered and passed through the strait which bears his name, and entered the mighty ocean on which his was the first ship to sail.

Thus Magellan's ship, well named the Vic toria, accomplished the first cireum- navigation of the globe.

LIFT Superintendent
OUT OF POLITICS BY
AMENDMENT, IS URGE


Public school teachers of Richmond
and Wayne county have expressed
themselves in favor of the proposed
amendment to the state constitution
providing for the appointment OF a
state school superintendent At pres
ent the Office is elective.
When questioned, local school heads
have indicated that they believed the
amendment would greatly help TO place
the position out of reach Of politicians,
especially If the state board Of educa-
ton were to do the appointing. How
the appointment is TO be made is to
be determined by the state legisla-
ture
The proposed amendment is TO be
voted upon Tuesday, when the citizens
ballot on the 10 proposed state amend
ments are submitted. In the interest
of effecting the change of making the
superintendent Office an appointtive
one, the following quotations from
eminent school men has been submit
ted by local school official
Bryan's Stand.
President William Lowe Bryan, of
Indiana university. for many years an
ex-officio member of the state board of
education writes as follows:
Il believe that it would be best to
have the state superintendent of public
instruction appointed. It is my judg-
ment that we would secure from term
to term better men in this way. We
should not secure better than the best
we have had under the old plan, but
we should certainly miss getting the
worst"
Dr. Robert J. Alley, newly elected
president of Butler college, and a
former state superintendent of public
instruction of Indiana, writes as
follows:
My experience in New England has
led me TO appreciate more than before
the advantages of having superin
tendent of public instruction appointed
rather than elected by popular vote
The appointment plan insures contin.
uity and in general makes it possible
to interest professional educators ir
the job more than they are interested
under the political election plan.
sincerely hope that the people O.
Indiana may ratify the constitutional,
amendment"
Greathouse Approves.
Charles A. Greenhouse, who served
conspicuously as state superintendent
during three consecutive terms:
There is no doubt in my mind tina
a change in the manner of selecting
the state superintendent of public in
struction is important if Indiana is t
hold front rank position among tht
several states of the Union in educa
ton
Under the present system the can
didate is selected by political cor
vention without regard to his specia
fitness for the Office and for a periot
of two years.
The school system Of the stat
should be divorced from politics. TIL
selection of the head of our schoo
system should be by appointment o.
the basis of fitness and qualification
rather than by the machinery of
political party. I am heartily in favo
of the amendment"

MALApJusTMENT IN CHILDHOOD.

A subject that is attracting more or less attention
among those who are interested in problems of edu-
cation and the stubborn facts encountered in the chill
dren of the country in relation to their ability to
learn, is what has been termed the 'unemployable
residuuns." Referred to by GONE as a social liability
a group of the population unable to hold jobs on ac-
count of disagreeable personality or because of plain
ineffciency.
On this problem, which is bound to become an OBJ
stinate one as time goes on, n New York school prin-
cipal, with unusual opportunity to study many phases
Of the situation has given his opinion in which he
says:
"If it were possible to make a study of a great
number of these persons who are 'unemployable' I be-
lieve that their history would show ~ an emotional
instability due to poor adjustment in childhood and
(2) faulty schooling in early life.
"1n dealing with the children of any large school it
is possible for US to single out these boys and girls
who are likely to join this army of the 'unemploy-
able in later life. Such children do not seem to be
able to adjust themselves to the usual school routine
or to the normal social situations in their homes and
neighborhood. Some are overexcitable and restless,
while others are retrospective, morose and unsociable.
All of them are unhappy and believe that the whole
world is unfriendly. In the large classes that are COM
mon in the city schools such children require most of
their teacher's time, and, failing to get it, they either
develop into truants or become the disciplinary cases
TO be dealt with by the school officials or the courts.
Would it not be wiser to try to study such chill
dren at 4 time when we might be able to help them?
Can We not by understanding their difficulties and the
causes of their unhappy condition strive to meet their
needs and thus greatly reduce the number of insists
and 'unemployables' that we find in such a situation
as your correspondent SO well calls to our attention?
AT this stage it is almost hopeless to deal with them
Al best we can resort only to palliative or remedial
measures. Why not attempt to see how this condi-
ton can be prevented?
Space does not permit me to deal with the matter
Ii detail In a few words let me say that this is fun
