DEMORALIZING CHINESE
STUDENTS

a large number of young Chinese
are leaving their native land for
these shores this week, among them
one group Of 80 Shanghai girls. all
coming to receive a made-in-Amer-
lea education. American Consul
General Cunningham is reported to
have advised the departing boys and
girls to live, if possible. with Amer
lean families rather than in dormi-
tories or clubs, in order to imbibe
the American sense OF home lie.
That sense IS much more manifest in
some American families than in 9th
ers. Not every American home is a
home, sweet home In these mat
ters, as in so many other affairs OF
life, the Chinese students will have
TO take their chances.
Mr. Cunningham is solicitous
about the manners and morals the
newcomers shall acquire in America
Tor 1t seems that the quality of the
culture received by Chinese youth in
this country in recent years has been
deteriorating. Some young fellows
have returned to their native land
Yotaries Of jazz, addicts to shimmy
and preachers of the gospel of festiy

THE ADVANTAGE OF PRACTICING
WHAT WE PREACH

The members of the city council of
Pullman and of the local school
board are to be commended for their
efforts to reduce taxes by exercising
rigid economy in preparing their
budgets for the coming year Econ
omy must begin at home if it is to
be extended to the expenditures of
the state and nation The plan
adopted by the city council to cut
the levy for city purposes Il mills
under last year may entail the post
ponement OF some desirable i'm
provements. but it is a wise policy.
The plan of the school board to set
aside part of the available funds of
the district for the retirement of out
standing bonds and interest is equal
ly commendable. 1t may involve
some curtailment of the curricula
and some extra work on the part OF
teachers, but under existing circum-
stances all should realize the import
ance of reducing the tax burden and
cheerfully cooperate in every way
possible to bring about that desir-
able result
II IS very easy matter to appro-
pirate money and to levy taxes to
meet the appropriations, and, as long
as the people pay the taxes. there is
smooth sailing But when taxes
reach a point beyond the ability Of
the taxpayers TO meet them. they are
not paid but become delinquent. and
delinquent taxes are not a liquid as
set which can be readily converted
into cash
When the towns and cities and
school districts begin to reduce their
tax leyies the county and state and
national officials will take heed and
follow the good example, because
they realize that each small com
munity is a reliable barometer of
public sentiment.
AS long as the people of these
small units show no disposition TO
practice economy in the manage
ment of their local affairs. little
heed will be given to their demands
that county and state and national
expenditures be reduced. But when
they begin 10 economic themselves
1t is a sure indication that they
mean business and will not tolerate
extravaganza on the part OF the
larger political units of which they
are part.
The public officials of this COM
munity have made good start and
the people are back Of them. Hav-

PULLMAN's OBLIGATIONS

A mutual obligation exists be-
tween the people of Pullman and the
state of Washington. The state has
established here a public institution
of learning for the liberal and prac-
teal education of the industrial
classes and is under obligations to
maintain that institution to such a
degree that every young man and
young woman of the commonwealth
who desires to secure an education
at the State College may be able TO
do so without charge for tuition.
With that idea in view the people of
the whole state are taxed for the
support of the college. The location
of the institution in this city is Of
almost inestimable value to the prop
erty owners, business men and every
resident of the community But it
imposes an obligation commensur-
ate with the benefits derived.
If the people of the whole state
furnish the necessary facilities for
educating every young man and
woman who desires to enter the col
lege, the people of Pullman are un-
der obligations to see that no
would-be student is Obliged to go
away because of being unable to find
a place in which to live They are
under further obligations to provide
rooming and boarding acCommoda-
tions at reasonable rates and to pro
tect both the students and faculty
members against exploitation. They
are also under obligations to safe
guard the health and morality of the
students by keeping the city clean,
both physically and morally.
The growth of the city and of the
college are interdependent. but the
city must at all times make every
possible effort to keep up with the
pace set by the college, for it is al
ways dangerous to cramp the nat
ural growth of any educational in
stitution. AT the present time the
question uppermost in the mind of
every resident of Pullman should be-
How can | help to provide rooming
accommodations at reasonable rates
for every student who desires to en-
roll at the State College?" instead of
How much rent can | extort be-
cause of the present shortage of
rooms?"
Pullman's obligations must be met
and Pullman's opportunity to prof
iteer must be spurned

DENIENTIA SPEEDITIS

DSlIeuild 0pttultlS, new iOIUl VI
insanity is becoming very prevalent
in the United States. Drivers of au-
tomobiles seem to be particularly
susceptible to the malady in its most
virulent form, and thus far no ade-
quate remedy for it has been found
although many have been suggested
and given a trial. What a serious
menace to the public safety and well
fare this disease is becoming is in
| dicated by the following Associated
Press dispatch:
New York. Aug 30-An estimate
that $4,500,000 was paid by life in
surance companies in death claims
from automobile fatalities during
1920 is published today by the in
surance press Statistics are quoted
to show that during the year the au-
tomobile caused 10000 fatalities and
100000 nonfatal injuries,
Probably four-fifths of this APP
palling list of fatalities and injuries
can be traced directly to drivers suf-
fering from Dementia Speeditis. One
of the effects of the disease is 10
make its victims absolutely reckless
of their own safety and utterly obliy-
ious to the safety of others. They
become obsessed with the single idea
of covering as many miles as possible
in the shortest time possible on every
occasion possible. 1t makes no diff
ference to them whether or not there
is any reason for hurrying Unless
they travel at top speed. they can
get no pleasure out of travelling. The
sight of a car ahead of them or the
sound of one coming up behind them
drives them into a frenzy.
Anyone who has contracted De-
mentia Speeditis is menace to him
self and to the public. The sane and
careful driver never knows when or
where he will meet one of these
lunatics on the road. He may be
driving ever SO slowly around
sharp curve, hugging his side of the
road, only to meet head-on a car
coming at 40 or 30 miles an hour on
the wrong side of the highway. He
may be proceeding TRANQUILITY along
narrow strip of road and sudden
ly be crowded into the ditch by a
crazy fool, whose one idea is to pass
every car he overtakes, regardless of
the risks involved.
Regulations, warnings and fines
have proved totally notifications
cures for this mania; in fact they APP
pear to simply aggrayate the NAL
ady. Persons suffering from far
less dangerous forms of insanity are
locked up in jails and asylums be-
cause ii is not deemed safe to allow
them at large. The same treatment
should be given the victims of De-
mentia Speeditis 4 Jail sentence
should be imposed upon every one
caught breaking the speed limits on
the public highways, unless there is
some sufficient and exceptional rea-
son for so doing. as in the case OF
physician answering an urgent call,
or OF a farmer hurrying to extinguish
a fire. The quiet of a prison cell
might have such soothing effect
as to prove an effective cure for De-
mentia Speeditis, when all less dras-
tic remedies have failed.
