held December to 10, 1921. under the
auspices of the American Legion and
the National Educational Association
in cooperation with many other or
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., religious, fra
ternal and Give.
Purpose of the Week
The man purposes of the week are
to inform the public of the accomplish
ments and needs of the public school.
and to secure cooperation and support
of the public in meeting these needs
and to teach and foster good Ameri-
canism
No service has suffered more from
unintelligent criticism than the schools
The average citizen does not read edu-
cational literature or accounts of
teachers meetings, or visit schools to
learn what they are doing. He has a
conception of school only as he knew
it in his own school days. American
Education Week should give the tax
payers who furnish funds for the pub
lie schools first-hand knowledge Of the
service for which they pay. Education
cannot afford to neglect this opportu-
nifty to advertise its aims and purposes
1t is the duty of all the friends o.
education to think seriously and work
hard on the problem of keeping the
idea of public education before all
the people.
Getting Started
All communities are urged to OBJ

cember d to 10. The program for
The week may be under the supervision
of the superintendent OF schools, the
commander of the local American Lc-
gion Post, the ayor, or other chlct
governmental officer OF the commun-
ity. Such officials may call to their aid

Thinking Is q habit and At the tiMe
we are in the habit Of thinking we
think best. Children, for instance,
think best in the hours when they are
in school. because that is the time
that they are accustomed to do their
thinking. Writers and philosophers
think best at the time they have daily
set aside for thinking; newspaper men
on an afternoon paper think best in
the morning, and those on morning
paper think best at night. There can
be no set time for best thinking, no
rule to go by.

TOO BIG A JOB
U. s. ATTORNEY

The appointment of special prose
cutor to relieve the United States at
torney for the district OF Nevada OF
the handling of liquor cases, is recon
mended in letter mailed to the at
torney- general Of the United States,
by United States Attorney William
WOODBURY., says the Gazette
The legal business of the govern
ment in Nevada, has reached such pro-
portions, Mr.. WOODBURY. says, that
with the liquor cases, there is too
much work for the United States at
torney's office Mr. Woodburn has
urged upon the encouragement an
arrangement similar to that invoked
in California where liquor prosecu-
tons are conducted by force OF
officers, separate from the United
States attorneys office
Should such step be taken here. it
is believed it would tend to relieve the
political tension as well as congestion
i'll the courts Since the special APP
pontment of district attorney to
eral months ago, a similar arrange
mcnt for Nevada has been under dis
cussion as means OF compromise
in the apparent dead lock over the APP
pontment of a district attorney to
succeed Mr. WOODBURY. The latter S
term does not expire until next April
but this would not preclude the early
appointment Of special prosecutor to
handle the national prohibition cases
For eight weeks. the government
has been busy with liquor trials at
Carson City Criminal cases have
precedent over civil cases and the
Volstead prosecutions have held back
