that education has for its chief purpose the train
ing of the mind rather than the storing of the
memory. A man might be able off hand to
answer all the questions on the Edison list. He
might have crammed his mind with the answers to
these particular questions. And yet he might be
densey ignorant Of every subject touched.
A parrot could be taught to say John Napier
invented logarithms. or Texas is the largest
state, but would not thereby acquire the slight
est conception of either mathematics or geography.
The truly educated man is the man who knows
how to find out things promptly and accurately.
He knows how to judge of things Above all, he
knows how to artculate what he learns with what
he already knows He may not burden his mind
with a load of disconnected facts and miscean-
eous notions. He may prefer to keep it cean or
derby, receptive and in good working order I'm
less he has had some occasion to inquire. he prob
ably does not know the answer to Edison's 4oth
question. Which state has the largest amethyst
mnesp" but he knows where to seek the infor-
nation, and if he ever has looked it up he knows
a good deal more about the subject than the ques-
ten brings out.
Mr.. Edison was joking. 1t is doubtful if he
could answer his own questions. Certainly Henry
Ford, who would be regarded anywhere as de-
sirable employe, couldn't answer them nor could

ably was to put before the public travesty on the
whole system Of examinations, and illustrate their
absurd lutility as a basis for Judging human ef-

HURRIED LAWMAKERS

The Miami Herald complains that Florida law
makers are not given sufficient time for ruminaton
on the measures proposed for passage 1t cites the
California legislature. where an Introductory ses-
sion, followed by thirty days ntermssion is sup
posed to permit more of that constructive contem-
platon which is essential to really good law-mak-
ing
The proposed remedy does not go far enough
Florida, with its short session. is exactly on par
with states where the session is unlimited SO far as
the quality of its annual legislative output is
cerned The trouble lies in different direction.
Men go to the Legislature with the notion that
their success will depend upon the number CT bills
they can convert into statutes 1t is not much
that the laws are needed. as that thcif passage
lends certain prestige to their sponsors. Log
rolling Is the mcdus operandi of most law making.
Hence, each session. here and IN other states as
we'll results in adding mass of crude unnecessary
laws to cur already overloaded code.
Public sentiment must supply the remedy. If
laws were passed only when there is strong,
statewide demand for them, the people would de-
spect them and their enforcement would be easy.
Perhaps a system requiring statute to lie on the
table year, might help. Next to that, the pres
ence of some influential and capable body like the
department of civics in university. to gather data
consider proposed changes. and supply the argu-
ments thereon, seems to be the best way to pro-
mote sound statutes Our legislative system is per-
fectly good in theory and general principle but
does not function as we'll as it should

FEDERAL TROOPS AND RIOTS

President Harding is to be commended for his
action in refusing to send federal troops to West
Virginia to quell disturbances in the mining re-
gion While the soldiers were needed, perhaps
as much as they usually are when sent to assist
state authorities IN keeping order, the general prn
ciple of holding the United States army as an
auxiliary police force is bad and the president
who abandons it will have a real achievement to
his credit
State authorities usually welcome federal inter-
ference, not only because it relieves them of part
of the labor of queing disturbances, but because
it divides responsibility, and diverts the odium if
anything goes wrong Labor unions, especially,
have way of remembering at the polls the men
who arrested or thwarted them when they were on
strike and it is a good deal harder to reach fed
eral than state authorities. Hence, federal mill
tary force is sometimes invoked when it mig ht well
be done without, just to protect the local authori-
ties from the consequences of grudges in the minds
of disorderly clements.
All that Is wrong. States are naturally the
guardians of law and order within their lines The
constitution gives them ample means for equpping
necessary force and taking all necessary measures
They should be required to do all that lies in their
power. Then of course, if the uprising takes the
form of instruction, federal aid is in order
But nothing short of approach to actual war
should be held to Justify the assignment Of United
States soldiers to such duty.

EVE DID 1T

Just as to be expected, the women turned the
trick Miami has shaken off the antauated form
Of aldermanic government and has put on the new
raiment of the commission-manager form, thus
joining the great army of municipalities in the
United States and Canada already on the side of
better civic government. The opponents of the
new plan for Miami are now blaming the women
for the result of the recent election. 1t seems
that the man vote was against the change but with
the coming of woman suffrage a new equation
entered into the whole situation and the women
voters of Miami nstnctively were quick to grasp
what was best for the city and voted accordingly
So the Magic City is to be congratulated on its
forward step. yet at the same time warning ought
to be given that the ants will in all probability
pursue the same tactics followed in almost every
other community in which the commission plan has
carried that Ct cndeavorins to elect as commits
soners those who are antagonistic to the commits
sion-manager plan and who therefore may well be
expected to bring into disrepute with the people

PAYING THE PIPER
hclenCy.

Floridas most recent ex-governor has cost the
state pretty penny in ways than one and
the taxpayers will be quite Interested in the passage
at Tallahassee few days ago of reimbursement
bill which provides for paying back TO certain
counties and individuals money which they either
advanced or were deprived of through the dis
charge of certain county officials, afterwards re-
instated. The total in this one bill is close to
$4,000, and Polk county's sheriff. John Logan,
will receive $l,4I2.65 from this source. 1t might
be well to call attention to the fact that we Amer
leans have a way of squaring things one way or
other and herein lies one of the foundation stones
of our successful government, the power to right
wrongs and to give a square deal 10 everyone.

As Others See 1t
AN IMMORTAL SONG

(Stephen Vincent Bennett, in New Republic)
Jane Charity's sister.
Jezebe was a queen.
She painted her face with bistre
And played on the tambourine.
She was wicked and white as Doggy night
And whenever she would complain,
Slave, run and chop down forests of wood and
draw large oceans of water!"
Why, that meant work for Jane!
Jane didn't weep or murmur;
Jane didn't mind at all;
Her mouth set little firmer
And her pansy eyes got small
She thought of the lives of GOOD kings wives,
And as soon as she'd hear ring plain,
Come and take this last stupid lover of mine
away. for he's fat enough now to slaugh-
teri"
A smile would come over Jane.
Jezebel got into trouble
With all of the pious fates,
And her city cracked like bubble,
For Jane had opened the gates.
Oh, the dogs in the street found Jezebel sweet
Til the new prince cried in pain.
GO out and bury that accused woman,
For she is kings daughter
And then went and married Jane.

All Lakeland is Justly proud of its graduating
class this year, made up of forty-three young men
and young women representative of the best ira
dtions of Polk county for upnghtness and sterling
worth. We would be willing to measure their
ability and their fine characters with any other
graduating class in Florida. feeling sure they
would hold their own but that is not necessary in
country like this where all sections combine in
producing the best to be found in the human
race The young ladies and the young gentlemen
just graduating from the Lakeland high school
are credit to Lakeland and Polk county and
reflect the patience. faithfulness and competence
of teachers whose ability is of the highest type.
And so we say that it is great thing to be
an American citizen and to live in Florida
