PROHIBITION IN THE FUTURE.

'Prohibition is here to stay" says
John F. Kramer. former national prohi-
bition commissioner 1T will always be
part of the fundamental law of the land.
1t never can be removed therefrom." No
man can read the future much farther
than the end of his nose, but to judge
from contemporary evidence and the us
ual working of the human mind, this is
probably true The benefits of prohibit
ton. moral, physical, mental and eco
monte, are so plain to any open-minded
enquirer that it is hardly conceivable
that any rational people should want 10
return to the old regime.
When Mr. Kramer adds, 1T will never
be changed or modified" he is less con
vincing. Change and modification are the
order of the world. All human insti-
tutions change and are modified, with
time and experience, and never" is a
long time.
Even now there are defects in the pro-
hibition system patent to almost any OBJ
server. Conspicuous among them is the
widespread tendency to "hOme-brewing'
induced by the new regime. Some of that
is doubtless merely curious and expert
mental and will die out of itself Much,
however. will not die out and cannot be
stamped out. as long as the present
stringent regulations continue.
1t is not unlikely that at some future
time these regulations-which are not
a part of the prohibition amendment but
are purely a matter of interpretive leg
islation-will be relaxed, to permit the
use and manufacture of beer and wine of
mild alcoholic content, under proper reg
ulation.
The prohibition movement was pri-
marily against two things, the saloon
and whiskey. 1t would be catastrophe
if either of them ever came back, in their
old form. 1t would be mischievous and
unfortunate if even beer or light wine
were TO come back, at this time when
the nation is in process of transition
from wetness to dryness. No public
verdict on the subject can be really de-
pendable until after prolonged experience
with AZ great a degree of prohibition as
it is possible to obtain. Ten or 20 years
from now the question of modification
may become a live issue, and be handled
intelligently and decided conclusively.

Reports from various parts of the
country indicate that this years Fourth
of July celebration was not of the safe
and sane" nature which has marked the
holiday in recent years Many cities
which heretofore had been opponents of
intelligent observance reported a record
breaking number of deaths and MAIN

Brattleboro was not free from such ac-

PROGRESSIVE SCHOOL LAWS.

The California legislature, stimulated
by the activity of responsible educators
and by public interest, has recently en-
acted a group of laws relating to schools
and teachers which mark real progress.
One law provides generous state aid for
every school district in the state. Its
chief effect is to end the day of under
paid teaching, for under its operation no
teacher need ever again receive less than
81 200 a year.
Another law provides better prepare
ton for teachers by Transforming num-
Der of normal schools into teachers col
leges All normal schools and some
other specialized schools have also been
placed under control of the state depart
ment of education Individual counties
are authorized to organize Junior col
leges. giving work equivalent to the first
two years of the state university, but
planned TO relate particularly TO the
needs of the local county. The law gives
each such junior college district adequate
funds for its work.
A fifth law protects teachers who have
been in service two years or more from
dismissal without hearing, if they care
to have their cases heard. Similar laws
are being discussed and fought over in
other states. CALIFORNIA; verdict appar-
emily is that it gives the competent teach
