THE PUBLIC

Simon D.. Fess, a representative in congress from
Ohio, and a noted educator of that state, speaking on
modern education has said there is a superabundance
of teachers for the advanced subjects, but few capa-
bic instructors for the elementary grades.
Too much Importance cannot be attached TO what
is accomplished in the public schools. University and
college students who failed to realize their ambitions
solely because their early education had been neglected
and not because they fail to apply themselves while
in college are numerous.
It should be borne in mind by everyone that the
education obtained in the public school is more impor-
tant than that of the university and it should neces-
sarily follow that the public schools should be brought
up to the very highest possible standard. In no other
way can the nation expect to produce thoroughly edu-

Deserves Credit

The so-cnlled "reformer,' deserves a
lot moro credit than he gets, although
perhaps n few of them nre a little
wfldeyed n long-haired, constituting
what Roosevelt called the lunatic
fringe

a majority of tho people are convirc-

the reformer is the very best friend OF
Business" II hi is fanatical
about anything 1t is popular educa-
ton and FREQ discussion. He is not
against sport and certainly not against
gaiety.
As a general thing It is advisable
for any legitimate INTEREST to con
slider what n reformer says, as his
suggestions are frequently, and we
hope always, intended for tho good
OF the interest itself. He may be
mistaken. but his heart is apt to be
in the right place. and considering
him as an enemy is not wise.
For instance, just a short time ago
the reformer suggested that something
should be done about tho motion pic
ture industry. 1t was set forth by
the reformers that the showing of
nude women On the screen. the por-
trayals of scenes OF lust and extreme
vulgartty would not in the long run
benefit the industry itself. 1t was
even suggested that certain conditions
on the inside of the industry might
be the better for a little investigation.
Immediately the reformers were at

BUILDING

Modern civilization, one might truly say, is based
on the home,' states the Omaha Bee. Back of the
home often almost submerged in ~drudgery, is the
mother. Yet to the best of them, however hard press
ed by domestic duties, life is an achievement more
than q task. Cooking is not merely the preparation
of food, nor sweeping simply chasing dust, nor is the
teaching of cleanliness, religion and love for the
beautiful IN nature and art only toll An these things
go to the strengthening of civilization.
1.-THE spirit of the housewife is needed throughout
every activity of modern life. Whatever the task to
which fate has assigned one, it has its connection with
something greater. To view it thus is to find joy in
work and to gain in craftsmanship.
"Three men all engaged at the same employment
were asked what they were doing. One said he was
making So a day. Another replied that he was cut
ting stone. The third said he was building a cathe-
draL. The difference was not in what they were actu-
ally doing, although the spirit of one might quite pos

WORK THE ROADS

Spring is practically upon NJ
Hundreds Of thousands Of miles Of
roadway need rebuilding or improv-
ing.
Countless thousands OF honest
American citizens are out OF employ
ment and begging for work with
which To support their wives and
children.
Motorist ale annually paying into
the public fund millions OF dollars
for road impr weren't.
The stage is all set, the audience
is assembled, yet there are no actors
to start the play.
We Americans continue to side
step the ruts or wallow in the muck
OF the poorest roads in christendom.
It is all wrong.
These idle men should be put to
work on state and government I'M
provements, and there is nothing
more urgently needed today than
hard surfaced roads.
If the robber prices charged by
the cement trust stand in the way Of
the good roads movement the trust
can be decently and deeply buried
through the simple expedient Of the
tates making their own cement.
II the states find that they can
manufacture more cementthan they
can make use Of on public works,
then the surplus can be readily sold
to municipalities and private indlvi-
duals. That would shove the trust
down little deeper in the hole it IS
digging for itself
We want good roads, and we want
employment for our idle men.
Both should be furnished with
ont any more monkeydoodling.

PAYING FOR FOLLY

Only few weeks have elapsed
since the Roma collapsed and snuff
ed out the lives OF many brave meu.
Yet the incident is practically For
gotten.
We use the word incident" pur-
posely.
That which affects our pocket
books or our pleasure is vital, and
il remembered.
Most everything else is incidental,
including the Roma and It's iI-iatl d
victims.
The government paid Italy a large
sum for the leaky old gas bag, when
we should lie lullding our dirigibles
and keeping our people employed.
That is was defective at the time
of its purchase appears to have been
known. yet Italy got the money, and
we got the bag, and tina widows
and orphans of the victims got left
But that, as usual, is incidental,
What we want to impress upon
the minds Of the people is the fact
that we should not buy abroard the
things that we should be making in
this country.
We have the money, we have, the
materials that go into constitution,
we have the man power, aud some-
where we have the brains necessary
to coordinate and put them 70 proper
use.
