Our School Books

The Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor has
gone on record to the effect that "a
total absence of labor's point of view"
exists in American textbooks. Fur
thermore, there is to be a movement
put on foot to take away from these
books "the false conception of exist
ing theories of industrial, political
and social economy"
1t would undermine all of our
theories of education were the i'm
preston to get abroad that school
books should be used as mediums for
polemical discussions. During the
war the charge was made that certain
school books had been published for
the spread of German propaganda, but
aside from this, parents and teachers
are wont to believe that school books
are used to expound and interpret
facts and theories without prejudice.
To make general charge and in
sinuation against American standards
of teaching without supporting the
charge with concrete and specific ex-
amples as proof, is in itself species
of dangerous propaganda. Of course,
this is the age of propaganda; one
can hardly witness film, or vari-
ETY. act, or read popular magazine
without seeing a clever hand at work.
But to indict the system of teaching
in our schools and universities on the
charge of giving forth "false concep-
tions" is grave business.
AS long as the English classics and
the English versions of the Bible are
read and studied-in our schools and
colleges, labor's point of view will
always have it's full hearing, no mat
ter what the department of learning.
No greater treatise on socialism than
the New Testament will ever be writ
ten. The writer of Ecclesiastes for
saw many modern problems on how
to make man contented. How would
the Executive Council edit Gray's
"Elegy," or Longfellow's "Village
Blacksmith" in order to improve "the
labor point of view"? And Ruskin
and Carlyle, and Spencer and Huxley,
and Emerson and Lincoln, are used |
as textbooks from Eastport to Los
Angeles. No absence of labor's point |
of view can be charged to them

One State Does Some
thing to Reduce the
High Cost of Living

A state commission with an aWk-
ward name, awkward that is for
those of us who haven't the scholarly
habits of speech known as Cambridge
English" has been doing things to
the cost of living in Massachusetts,.
For two years ''The State Commits
sion on the Necessaries of Life" has
not been hindered by it's title from
getting down to brass tacks with
landlords, coal and ice dealers, dairy
men and milk dealers, bakers, butch
ers, and clothing merchants. Now it
has tackled the restaurants and
lunchrooms.
Unfortunately the Commission
lacks the power to punish profteering
in any line, but it's methods of inves-
tigation, and the thoroughness and
sureness of it's reports and state
ments have made for the success of
many of the recommendations urged
by the Commission, and the correction
of many fragrant abuses.
"The commission has made it a
point to conduct it's work with as
little disturbance to the ordinary run
ming of business as possible, and with
determination to keep out of the
limelight as much as possible. 1t be-
lieves results count rather than noise
and only resorts to publicity when it
runs across fragrant case of wrong
doing, believing such cases should
have the widest publicity as warn
ing to others"
Whatever the true causes of the
success of this Massachusetts, Com
mission, it's work proves that some
thing can be done by the states to
overcome much profteering and
many high costs which are due to bad
business organization. Of the 5000
rent cases handled in Boston since
March of this year, very large
number resulted in relief to the
tenant. Local work, like that of the
Massachusetts Commission also shows
up clearly just where Federal action
is necessary, not only in getting the
cost and distribution of commodities
such as coal back to normal, but in
the study of industrial conditions and
problems in scientific and construc-
tive way.

were others. "Propaganda" was a
little-used word before the war. Of
late it has been on every tongue.
There are those who insist that we
should differentiate clearly between
an irridentist and every other kind of
dentist.
Roosevelt enriched the language
with a legacy that demands it's own
long chapter. strenuous" since he
used it, has successfully competed
with that favorite word of society
women, ''hectic," to describe a busy
day. Footnotes to political history
may well illumine the significance of
"pussyfoot" and "gumshoe" in a fig
urative connection.
But for the present, with the
Disarmament Conference looming,
"agenda" is the pet mouth-filler.-

"Agenda"

Another word which has long Ian
guished in innocuous desuetude
climbs up above the range of low
visibility and goes earnestly to work
IN State papers and newspapers and
diplomatic councils. That word is
"agenda." The Standard Dictionary
gives the first pronunciation as with
a "j," the second pronunciation with
the hard "g." Anyway, "agenda"
means ''things to be done" If you
come to the council-table without
portfolio of agenda for somebody else
to do for you, it means you regard
yourself as a little country; you do
not count; you might as well pack up
and go home.
Of late the word gesture" has
been doing big business. If we send
soap to the Eskimo or coffee to Java
or ice to the penguins of the Antarc-
tic, we are told it is "grand gesture
of benevolence." If we read the riot
act to Panama or Haiti, we learn
that it is splendid gesture of
warning" Gesture" goes most as
well in the Senate as it does in the
House of Lords or any other legisla-
tive body.
Intrigue" is another word YOU
must have in your table-talk port
manteau. 1t is banal and bourgeois
Tin the old sense) TO enjoy things;
they must intrigue" you.
The war-yield of words was large,
and some of it will keep. "Camou-
flage" topped the bumper crop. "Bar-
rage" "smoke SCREEN" drum fire"

Women in Politics

Aroused by criticisms of her sup
posed stand against the appointment
of woman as an American delegate
tothe disarmament conference, Rep
resentative Alice Robertson of Okla
homa, the only woman member of
Congress, has issued a statement de-
claring she was misquoted. She con-
tends she never told President Hard
ing that there was no woman quail
fed to serve as an American commits
sioner. She did say, he statement con-
tinues, "Show me a woman who is
properly qualified and l might urge
her appointment"
If Miss Robertson intended no re-
Election against her sex, but only
meant that the appointment should
be based on qualifications for the
position, hardly any one will take is
sue with her. The sensible women of
this country are not seeking recogni-
tion in public affairs merely as
women. They are asking no special
favors. Their attitude, as we under
stand it, is that when any one is Sc
lected for position of responsibility,
whether man or woman, the de-
termining factor should be the fitness
and ability of the person to do the
work. But they have no doubt awak-
ened to the fact that in politics it is
not always done this way.-Chicago

A Splendid Fair

We sometimes wonder if Whining
tonians really appreciate the Della
ware State Fair as they should. If
the excellent fair which is now in pro-
gress at Elsmere were being held in
Philadelphia, Baltimore or Washing
ton we can imagine quite few per-
sons discussing it much more and
making quite serious adjustment of
their daily business matters so they
could attend. With thoroughly we'll
rounded and enjoyable fair right at
the city's gates people will not even
make an effort tor attend. However,
one could wager safely if a major
ity Of those thousands once "got the
fair habit" they would be consistent
patrons of that institution.
The 1921 fair impresses the obser-
yer as being particularly complete.
1t is not that any one department
stands out, but it is hard 60 pick out a
weak department. The Horse Show
is featured by some of the best horses
and mounts in the country. The har-
ness racing yesterday was cream and
the nearly-filled grandstand showed
its appreciation. Between races vau
deville acts, solo artists, and band Sc
lections kept the spectators busy
watching and listening. Tne midway
attractions include about everything
in the way of amusement that the
smallest child or the most boyish old
man could desire.
The assertion could .e ventureo
that no one really understands Della
ware and its resources until he has
visited all the departments and DEM
onstrations at Delaware State Fair.
To see the farming machinery and
equipment alone would be revera-
tion of modern agricultural life to the
average city dweller. 70 inspect the
exhibits of blooded cattle such as
those of Winterthur Farm, Ereidalbik,
Brookwood Farm and the University
of Delaware proves what an under
taking it is nowadays to provide
thoroughly hygienic supply of milk
for cities. Then there are bIooded
horses, pigs of all ages, s.eep, chick
ems, ducks, turkeys, geese, pigeons,
In fact the whole animal life of the
farm. In the agricultural building
one sees prize specimens of Dela-
wares variegated crops. Our guess
is that not one urbanite IN ten can
name one-half the fruits, vegetables
and grain on display at TIE fair. And
if you are inclined to couot the rea,
serious effort ~ D~'----~~o farme~ is
making to improve and increase his
output you should inspect dosely the
joint exhibits entered by several OF
the oranges. Those of West Brandy
wine Grange and Trophy Grange are
particularly creditable.
Of course, the fair needs Whining
tonians. But in far more important
sense, Wilmingtonians need the fair
and need to learn what profitable and
pleasurable times are m store ror
them there. The fair is m progress
every day this week to and including
Friday. We urge our readers to at
tend, with the children, if they CAN

The Youna Mstron and the oId Wife

The Young Matron and the Old Wife
 He loves me so much he will not let me speak to another man." boasts the Engaged Girl.
 My husband never lets me see any of my old friends. writes the Young Matron.
 He is tyrannical. I read him 10 sleep and he expects me to keep still and watch him sleep" complains the Old Wife.
 Youth and Age are saying the same thing.
 The young girl is deeply hattered by being isolated. How can she guess that the exclusiveness which so pleases her is a form of greed? ? That it will grow to tyranny? That it will cast the shadow of doubt over her every action? And cause her to weep through dismal nights?
 Greed. grown up to jealousy, is the root of the evils which destroy love.
 When a man and girl are in love, there is a mutual and a natural hun ger for complete understanding. The husband and the wife would divine each others dreams, absorb the others leisure, comprehend the oth- CTS secret wish
 Thou soul of my soul" sings the poet.
 But instead of living happily ever after their marriage, the wife nags becavss the man goes to the game without her: and the husband is sar- castle if a tire bursts when the wife takes the babies to the park and gets home late to dinner.

q won't go back to the Smiling Pool uAtil | have seen the Great World" replied Grandfather Frog. a big mullen leaf to rest and think things over.
 "Chugarum! That was a terrible experience; it was indeed!" said he to himself, shivering at the very thought of what he had been through. '.Nothing. like that ever happened to me in the Smiling Hbol I've always said that the Smiling Pool is a better place in which to live than out in the Great World, and now I know it. The question is. What had I best do now ?.
 Now right down in his heart Grandfather Frog knew the answer. Of course the best thing to do was to go straight back to the Smiling Pool as fast as he could. But Grandfather Frog is stubborn Yes, sir, he cer-' tainly is stubborn. And stubbornness is often just another name for fool ishness. He had told Jerry Muskrat that he was going out to see the Great World Now, if he went back Jerry would laugh at him.
 T won't do it!" said Grandfather Frog.
 What won't you do?" asked a voice so close to him that Grandfa- ther Frog made long jump before he thought. You see at the Smiling Pool he always jumped at the least hint of danger, and because one jump always took him into the water he was safe. But there was no water here, and that jump took him right out where anybody passing could see him. Then he turned around to see who had startled him so. It was | Danny Meadow Mouse. l "I won't go back to the Smiling Pool until have seen the Great World.'' replied Grandfather Frog gruffly.
 You won't see much of the Great World if you jump like that every | time you get a scare" said Danny l shaking his head. No sir, you won see much of the Great World, because | one of these time you'll jump right l into the claws of old Whitehall the | Marsh Hawk, or his cousin Redtail I or Reddy Fox. You take my advice l Grandfather Frog, and go straight l back to the Smiling Pool You don't know enough about the Great World to take care of yourself.'' But Grandfather Frog was stub- l born and set in his ways and nothing that Danny Meadow Mouse could sax cndHgeQ ms mlnQ In the leaSt. | started out to see the Great World
 and I'm going to keep right on,
 said he.
 ''All right" said Danny at last, ri

 That his very last day had come Grandfather Frog was sure. He didn't have the 1l ut doubt about it. Here he was at the mercy of Bowser the Hound out on the Green Meadows far from the dear, safe Smiling Pool. Every time he moved Bowser Tipped his over on his back and danced round him barking with joy. It was great fun for Bowser. Every minute Grandfather Frog expected to feel Bowser's terrible teeth and he grew cold at the thought. When he found that he couldn't get away he just lay still. He was too tired and fright ened to do much of anything else, anyway.
 Now, when he lay still he spoiled Bowser's fun, for it was seeing him jump and kick his long legs that ticlled Bowser so. Bowser tossed him up in the air two or three times, but Grandfather Frog simply lay where he fell without moving. Bow, WOW, wow!" cried .Bowser in his great voice. Grandfather Frog didn't So much as blink his great goggly eyes. Bowser sniffed him all over.
 T guess I've frightened him to death," said Bowser, talking to him. self. T didn't mean to do that l just wanted to have some fun with him." With that Bowser took one more sniff and then trotted off to try to find something more exciting. You see he hadn't had the least intention in the world of really hurting Grand father Frog.

to be ourselves, to be perfectly sim cere and do and say what we really feel.
 Perfectly sincere!"
 She loves her mother dearly. Is 1t sincerity to vent upon her the spleen aud i'll nature that she would not inflict on an offending stranger?
 Is it sincerity to subject the sister for whom she really cares to insult and abuse that she is able to restrain with her worst enemy?
 And how about the rest of us?
 Do we always extend to those at home the consideration we give to strangers?
 Do we call into requisition, in our relations with nearest, the same breeding and even more self control because We care more for them?
 Or do we let ourselves go and in f1iet upon those we love best the worst that is in us while the world at large gets the best?
 If we do 1t would be an act of kindness and of love to our nearest and dearest to start right in today and treat them like strangers!
