ARE WE THANKFUL?

This is Thanksgiving day, friends, but we
have taken it as matter of course and perhaps
do not even contemplate what it should mean to
all of u.s. Here in America we have considered
the past two years as an of hard times. We
have sometimes complained because business was
poor or money was tight. We have considered
conditions bad.
Have we ever stopped thinking about our
selves long enough to appreciate the situations
existing in foreign countries? Have realized
that Germany is on the verge of being completely
bankrupt that her medium of exchange is about
as valueless as any currency that could come out
of Russia? Have we stopped to think of the star
walton that is being experienced in some parts of
Europe and Asia and of the petty wars that are
still upsetting the Balkans and Asia Minor? Are
we prepared to look into Russia to see the chaos
existing as a result of its irresponsible govern
ment?
Truly Thanksgiving in America should be sin
cere. We have more reason to be thankful than
any other people the face of the earth and what
we have experienced in two years time has hardly
been worth mentioning in comparison with what
nine-tenths of'the globe has suffered during the
same period.
Our Thanksgiving spirit should extend far
beyond a complacent satisfaction with our own
We should extend our benevo-
lence to the rest of the world and offer prayer
that conditions across the may become i'm
proved.

PREPARING FOR LONG LIFE

"The most important function of school," ac-
cording to one of the speakers at the teachers
convention sis not to impart knowledge, but to
aid in the Interpretation of life
interpreting life" is phrase that sounds as
if it ought to mean something, though it is not
clear from the context just what was in the speak
ers mind. Ii it means that learning is not an end
in itself, but an equipment for practical life, this
is proposition on which we all heartily agree
If il means that the teacher should provide pupils
with set of theories and complete philosophy
of life, instead of contenting himself with the
humber but more useful task of getting facts into
their heads, one does not envy the teacher, nor
the pupils, nor the prospect of the community
with regards to its future citizens.
"To aid in the Interpretation of life" ac-
cording to the same authority, requires stagger-
ing amount of knowledge" on the part of the
teacher Yes, the task seems to be almost super
human. The greatest and wsest of mankind have
been trying for good many generations to find
an Interpretation of life, without reaching an
agreement. 0. Henry interpreted life one way
and the later day school writer's another way
Judging from the variety of views expressed at
the teachers convention, there seem to be plenty
OF different interpretations among the teachers
themselves
Meanwhile, are we losing sight of the pri-
mary function of the school to impart knowledge?
In the above view, this is only of minor import
ance. Perhaps this is the reason why business
men and other employers who receive the annual
output of young graduates believe that they see
decline in the standards of common knowledge
1t is frequently complained that young aspirants
for position show an increasing lack of what was
formerly considered average and necessary in
formation Some even complain that ordinary
spelling ability is on the decline
Possibly these complaints are exaggerated,
but they may have foundation in fact if the
schools cease to regard the impartng of llnowl-
edge as their primary function. Let the teacher
interpret life" far as this is necessary, but
facts so that students can form their own inter-
his first duty, after ALL is to equip the pupil with
probation of life and have means of coping with
the problems of life When people can not spell
adequately, their Interpretation of life isapt to be
faulty.-Milwaukee Sentinel

Wellesley Hills, Mass Sept. 23.-
 Roger w. Babson this week issues a warning to cities and towns to get
 busy on their municipal improve
 ments Immediately. His reasons are as follows:
 "A revolution is to- take place in city development during the next dec ade. The automobile Is to have as great an effect on living conditions as the sewing machine had on weaving. As the mill has taken the place of the home spinning wheel, so the suburb Is to take the place of the city for residential purposes Tremendous movements from the city to the sub urbs may be expected during the next few years. Wise cities will be- great suburban development, which, in many cases. will mean the extcn- ton of city limits.
 Such a revolution in living must result in the extension of water plants expansion of sewerage systems. and a tremendous era of new road building, home building and other improve ments. This will cause a great de- mand for carpenters, masons, pas- terers, and common labor of all kinds. The building boom has not yet reacn- ed it's height. Every feature connect ed with building, from the supplying of raw materials to the furnishings of the home. should prosper for the next year or two. This is the real reason why certain forms of labor is scarce today and why certain building ma terials and commodities Ire strength ening in price. It IS the real reason why the mine operators of the Cen tral States and the mill owners of the Eastern States have beer obliged to take back the workers ct the old wages It is this emigration from the city to suburbs which has changed the labor market. Of course labor lea1- CTS claim credit for checking wage cuts but it clearly Is not due to them. Henry Ford's f1ivvers are causing this demand for homes In the suburbs and the consequent demand for mechanics, carpenters and common labor.
 Wise are the cities and towns that take advantage of these new condi- tions. Those city'fathers who do not, will miss great opportunity. More over, the time is now especially pro- pitious for municipalities to capitalize this great movement Money rates re low There is good demand for bonds. The Federal Jn- come Tax and state and city taxes are especially favorable to municipal borrowing How long cities will have this advantage I do not know, put the situation certainly should be seized while it lasts. Nothing helps city so much as good paving, a splendid water supply, proper sewerage, and, of course, good schools.
 This especially applies to the Southern cities which have not in the past had the available funds that some of the Northern cities have had. Great opportunities present them selves to those cities that are to bene- fit from river improvements, flood protection, and other natural pro- blems.

GEO. WASHINGTON
 LANDS IN TOLLS

George Washington was arrested last night. Just why anybody should desecrate the name of the Father of Our Country by becoming unrury enough to invite arrest, is not known but suffice it to say that George, ac- cording to the police. was living at 265 Helen street with Pearl Mandes, the wife of Peter Mandes, who resides at 159 Sterling street, and Peter, be- coming angry at the theft of his for the arrest of both.
 The result is that both were taken into custody last night at the Helen street address by members of the Bureau of Investi gation and when ar- raigned in the City court this morn ing on statutory charges were order ed held for the next term of the Criminal Superior court under bonds of $500 each.

KING DETHRONED

John T. King had no alterna- tive but to admit defeat by the Democrats last night. Yes, John was licked. It all came about because John and his mammoth tan Packard Iaundelet got caught Tn a traffic jam at the corner of Main and Cannon streets, and John was forced to sit in the rear of the car and smile while traffic was held up to let over 2,O00 Democrats who were in line, file past him.
 Many of Johns friends. some he has met in the past politically and some of his personal friends, were in the lineup and as the car bearing Joseph Della passed by, John leaned from his own car and remarked, E'I thought you were a Republican, But, like us all, John makes mistakes once in a while. and like his prediction of a Republican victory, this was just another blunder.
