Doylestown. Pa, Nov. Address
ing 500 teachers attending the sixty
seventh annual session Of the Bucks
County Teachers Institute yesterday in
the courthouse, Miss Margaret T. Ma

School, Philadelphia, said corporal pun
ishment in the schools of America today
was outrageous, old. fashioned and un.
satisfactory. She said In part: "Spir-
itual discipline is the only thing that
can accomplish any good today. Get
away from the old fashioned, picayune
technique Of the schoolroom and show
the pupils how to look at things In a
spiritual light. Get away from the In.
tellectual stuff and teach the boys and
girls proper American citizenship. Treat
your pupils like human beings and YOU
will get results"

JURYWOMEN.

What do the husbands of jurywomen think of
their wives leaving home all day to work at the
courthouse? What damage has been done thereby
to their happy homes? Have the fears OF the poll
ticians, who used to predict that woman suffrage
would be the ruination of the home, been realized?
Well, newspapers have been interviewing
the husbands OF jurywomen to obtain answers to
these questions. And the replies must be disapIont-
ing to those who formerly liked prophesy that
all manner OF domestic evil would flow from equal
suffrage.
The husbands of jurywomen invariably report
that. when they home from work, they find
their suppers steaming hot the table, though
their wives have been at the courthouse all day.

The latest news from Washington indicates that

Just what these concessions will be and whether
they will be big enough to meet American demands

that the Japanese will go far enough in their pro-

IT BEGINS AT HOME.

We have much to say about Amer
icanizing our immigrants. If we
mean that we want to give them our
best ideals, we'll and good. If we
have any idea of making them like
the average of ourselves, we should
pause and consider.
To get at the truth about ourselv-
es we must put aside our American
self-conceit. We have a splendid
heritage, but we have been careless
with it, squandering it while we
claim credit for what the past Gre
ated: The economic advantages we
boast are merely the fortuitous re-
suits of a great stretch of land very
rich and very new. Our representa-
tive democracy in too many phases is
exemplified in actual practice by mi
nority control of public affairs. Our
political and religious freedom of
speech and conscience is a gift won
by past generations, constantly di-
minishing under our charge. Many
of us are asleep, comatose, needless
of what is happening to us.
If you dissent from this indictment
it is perhaps because you are one of
those who still have real American
ism in your heart. Unfortunately
you are Of the submerged minority,
and unfortunately if you try to teach
principles of this real Americanism
to immigrants, the principles are
quickly shattered by the reality;
they find around them civic indif-
ference, greed, exploitation. We can
give them American talk but too few
American deeds.
This is not a reason for emitting to
teach fundamental American ideals.
1t is reason for honesty; it is GER
tainly reason for accepting as our
first job to make real Americans out
of our present Americans.
The Semi-weekly leader., 1921-11-16
OUR cITY's AFFAIRS ARE OURS.

The service of an organization, or
its lack OF service, is largely due to
the interest or indifference of mem
bers, or of thase whom the mem
bers are delegated to represent.
For instance, the reason our
City Affairs and in no better
shape than was intimated at the XII
wants meeting last Thursday, is be
cause, according to Mayor Buffers
statement, it was almost impossible
to arouse personal interest among
citizens of the community. In other
words the officials have had little or
no backing.
The records referred to at the
meeting had been known for years to
be kept (?) as they have been. Su-
perintendent Purser had published a
statement TO inform the city of the
state of affairs at the power house
as they exist with accompanying es-
innate for repairs, field engineer
Metz published his estimate which
overtopped Mr.. Purser's, the latter
including only what was absolutely
necessary to make the power house
dependable-some 100000, while
Metz estimate ran several thousand
over-but, the Mayor said, not sin
gle expression or inquiry of interest
had come from the people who pay
the taxes; and, he added he was
glad they were at last awake to the
situation.
We do not hesitate in saying that
lack of interest on the part of the
general public is responsible in large
degree for their not being better SER
we'd.
One reason for indifference Of
many people is found in their be-
lief that. public affairs are too COM
plicated to be mastered in the little
free time they have to give to such
matters. Others have so little or no
definite information upon the poll
cies, and methods, and main activi-
ties Of the local government. So few
ere interested enough even to read
the published reports Of the City
Council meetings.
Our people want public service Inn
proved; but 1t will not be done un-
less interest is stimulated and ex-
pressed in civic affairs with the
methods pursued in carrying on the
public's business.
The Leader doesn't mean to in
dorse or condemn any official; it is
not concerned with personalities;
but with administrative functions,
methods and procedures to the end
that an improved system be used
hereafter in the city administration
Before this can we'll be done, how
ever, a complete city audit must be
made and is demanded by the peo-
pie generally.
We congratulate the Board of
Trade and the Kiwanis Club in the
service they are giving the city,
