FOR BETTER SCHOOLS.
Next Week Has Been Designated as
Education Week,

ALuuStsOioh WYNN
Next week-December to g.
has been designated as american
Education Week" throughout the
country, and Governor Baxter has is
sued special proclamation designat-
ing the week as education week in
Maine. He calls upon public officials,
ministers, teachers in the public
schools and the leaders of oranges
and other social and welfare organ
izations in the State, to lay special
emphasis upon the ideals for which
people to overcome the materialism
of our age that is sitting the finer
things of the spirit.
American Education week was
planned through the cooperation of
the American Legion, the National
Education association and the
Federal Bureau of Education. The
object of setting apart the week is to
focus the attention of the nation
upon education as fundamental
concern in a government like ours and
to create a sentiment which shall be
nation wide for the improvement of
our schools.
Boards Of education and school
committees should hold meetings
and there should be gatherings of
citizens to talk frankly over what
improvements will best bring to the
children of the community the proper
educational advantages. School i'm
provement should be the cry; not
cheap schools but good schools and n
full return for every dollar spent.

DENMARK HAS
COOPERATIVE BANK

Denmark discussed the cooperative
bank, owned and operated by the CO.
operative societies for many years
before it was opened. 1t began busi-
ness in 1914. There were some mis-
givings. The old bankers said farm
ers were too ignorant to operate
bank. A marvellous thing happened.
The farmers trusted one another.
The cooperative societies raised ESQ.,
900 kroner as capital. In 1915 the
capital increased to 1,432,O0 kroner.
Each year it increased rapidly. In
1920 the capital amounted to 3,624,300
kroner.
The capital was subscribed ex-
clusively by cooperative societies.
The bank is managed exclusively by
cooperative societies; by men inter-
ested in the cooperative dairies,
slaughterhouses, insurance and con-
sumers' societies. They own the
bank. They elect the officers, and
they receive it's dividends.
Branches of the bank are found all
over Denmark. The bank is a central
reservoir, like the federal reserve
system, for the smaller banks.
The deposits of the bank have in
creased even more rapidly than the
capital. In 1915 they amounted to
100000 kroner. By 1920 they had

by the people themselves. Private
ownership of credit has failed even
more completely than private owner
ship of the railroads. Private credit
is the strongest bulwark of specula-
tion. Speculation could not exist
without this s.pport.
Practically every civilized country
in the world has public credit agencies
competing with private credit agen-
cies. In two countries, Australia and
North Dakota, there are state-owned
banks; pacemakers and agents of the
people directly. In practically every
other country in the world the func-
tion of public credit is supplied by CO.
operative banks, owned, operated and
managed by peasants and farmers in
the country diatricts and by the work.
ers and small merchants in the towns
and cities. The ideal in many Of these
countries is "every man his own
banker" just as the ideal in this
country is for every farmer to own
his own tools. For credit is a tool.
It is mans most important tool. It
is just as absurd and far more costly
for a farmer and merchant to go to
another man for credit, as. it would
be to 60 to another man for tractor,
moving machine, thresher, or the
hand tools with which he works.
Credit is the most important of all
tools, because it controls all other
tools.
Cooperative credit is in many ways
better than state credit. Cooper
ative banks are neighborhood banks.
They are managed by the people who
use them; the members and directors
know all the community, the needs of
the individual borrower; they are in
terested in developing the community.
In addition to this, cooperative
banks may be very small. They may
have only few hundred dollars in re-
sources. They may have millions.
AS stated before, cooperative banks
are found in practically every coun-
try in the world.
The National leader., 1922-07-01

it reverscs this process and enables
the farmers to hold their produce for
a profitable market.
= Cooperative banks similar to these
are found in Italy, France, Germany,
Belgium, Hungary, Poland, Czecho-
Slovakio, Switzerland and in back
ward Russia. Little banks operated
by the ignorant peasants are to found
by the thousands in Russia.
GERMANY HAS -ss
CENTRAL BANKS
In Germany, where these banks
started in 1S49, there are three big
central loan banks. In 1920 they had
turnover of 1,500,000,000 marks.
In addition to doing regular bank
ing business, these peoples banks
act as buying agencies, just like the
cooperative stores. They, buy farm
machinery, coal, food, clothing and all
kinds of seeds. They buy equipment
for dairies. In 1920 they purchased
supplies of various kinds for their
members to the value of S13,7OO,OOO
marks, and made net saving of
2,284,914 marks.
In the new country of Czecho-
Slovakia, there is farmers bank in
almost every district. The govern
ment of Czecho-Slovakia is peoples
government that aids these banks.
In addition to the smaller banks scat
tered all over the country, two big
central banks have been established at
Prague, the capital. These larger
banks received the surplus deposits of
the smaller banks. They loan back
the surplus to the lesser banks for
their seasonal needs.
The same story could be told of
Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and of
Ireland.
In America, every effort to secure
the passage of legislation permitting
our people to own their own banking
tools have been defeated by the bank
ers. They will not permit the people
to break into the banking field, if they
can help it. Yet we can never solve
can never be economically free, until
the farmer owns and controls his own
bank. For banking credit is our un-
crowned king.
The American Cooperative COM
mission, with headquarters in the B.
of L. E: building, Cleveland, Ohio, has
prepared a model cooperative bank
ing bill for submission to state legis-
latures in 1928. Copies can be Sc
cured by writing to the commission.
This bill permits banks to be organ
lied for the smallest village or for
the largest community. It provides
for purely cooperative banking.
Dividends are limited while surplus
earnings 60 to the borrowers and the
depositors. The bank is democrat
ically managed. And most important
of all, the resources of the bank,
which are the resources of the people,
can only be used to produce wealth.
They can not be used for speculation,
for gambling. They can not be ship
ped out of the community for Wall
street purposes. The peoples money
is kept at home where it belongs; it
will be used by the people for. the
benefit of the people.
Cooperative banks make credit the
peoples tool instead of an agency of
exploitation.

CROSSES OCEAN
in FISHING JUNK

Victoria, B. c., Oct. "details of
the 81 day voyage of the Annoy, the
% ton Chinese fishing junk that
brought Captain Ward, his Chinese
wife and their nine year old son safe

Pacific, were told by the old sailor
yesterday as he helped his wife hang
washing on the yard arm.

out doctor, no ice chest and no fresh
provisions.
We had plenty of water for drink
ing, but not drop for bathin' or the
wa5hin' of clothes. We had crew
of three Chinese and they didn't
worry about that"
The Annoy ran into many storms,
Captain Ward continued, but the
calmS caused the most trouble. The
Annoy floundered about helplessly in
thcm, lost time and went off her
course. Twice the rudder was carried
away and he had to rig jury rudder
which cut down the junk's headway.
The course mapped out was north
ward to Hakodate, Japan, and thence
to cross the Pacific on the 42nd or
l3rd parallel of latitude. Contrary
weather was met on the two weeks
between Shanghai and Hakodate and
typhoons several times forced the YES
sci to shelter The port anchor broke
at the ring and the captain had to buy
two new anchors at the Japanese
port, reached on July ~. Hakodate

GARRISON MAKES
MANY CHANGES

Mexico City, Oct. LIN conse-
quence Of yesterdays revolt at
Juarez, which is now regarded as
completely put Slown, the war Office
has determined to adopt a policy OF
changing garrisons at all border
cities every three months as a pre-
cautionary measure against further
uprisings. 1t is believed the troops
stationed at border cities are sub
ject to extremely insidious propa-
ganda directed from the American
side of the border.
Secretary of War Zerran today ex-
pressed surprise at the detection of
any portion of the 43rd battalion, as
it has an enviable fighting record.
Dispatches received here today say
the rebels have been scattered. Sew
eral scores were made prisoner and
numerous others surrendered their
arms and asked clemency.
Newspapers here without excep-
tion treat the uprising in Juarez as
an isolated movement although Ell
UniversaPs Juarez correspondent re-
ports simultaneous uprising yester,
day at chihuahua City, which was
promptly suppressed.
Revolutionary activities through
out the republic have been few OF
late although reports have been re-
ceived here from time to time of up
risings of Vera Cruz, Oxaca; Ia
maulipas and Jalico.
Ell Democratic asserts that con
spiracy aiming at general revolu
tion was discovered yesterday in
Guadalajara but that due to the ac-
tivity of Gen. Enrique Estrada, com,
manding the area, the leaders were
arrested.
