WASHINGTON. d. C.-The house
committee on education has not met
once during this session OF congress-
We were told yesterday. Congress is
in the midst Of an unusually active
game OF save the pennies" and the
chances OF any money being allowed
for the educational Advancement are
50 slim that the committee sees no
use in getting together to discuss
even bills that were favprably re-
ported out at the last session. Sew
eral bills for important educational
propects have been introduced, but
it is not probable that any OF them
could get the approval OF the commit
tee and IL they did they would never
get by congress in its present state
of mind.
Whether this is wise economy or
not is matter of opinion. The ma
jority in congress thinks it is
There are three interesting prof.
ects which patiently await congress
sional approval and funds One Of
these provides for a department OF
education 10 replace the bureau of
education. Another is designed TO
bring domestic science within reach
Of more women and girls, especially
those who work in the day.
The third bill does not reach so
many people as the other two, but il
would mean a good deal to the coun-
try. This is measure TO create a
national university.
A national university was planned
by George Washington. Benjamin
franklin wanted it provided for in
the constitution. but he and several
others were .overruled by statesmen
who said that the university would
be established anyway and that there
was no need to cucumber the CON
stitution
Washington is known 20 have wiiled
$4,000 in stock to the government as
a fund to start this university. This
sum would by now amount Of $4,000
600 at compound interest. II cannot,
however, be located. A few years ago
treasury department officials inves-
tigated the bequest hoping to find
out what became OF the money. The
only conclusion that could be reached
was that the m oney was never
turned over to the government, and
that il lapsed back to the estate.
Cost Of Project
This means that to establish a ma
tional university now there must be
an appropriation from congress, prob
ably amounting to several hundred
thousand dollars a year. Therefore
the national university propect con-
tinues TO hang fire.
Washington's idea was that the
university would serve an important
purpose In that it would cement the
sections of the country together. Stu
dents would hear congress debate.
They would meet the representatives
from different states and grow to un-
derstand the viewpoints of the diff
ferent parts OF the couptry.
The further advantage OF a ma
tional institution OF learning in Wash
ington is that it could make use OF the
various branches of the government

Frank Tannebaum's constructive
program for prison reform In the
February Atlantic should be made
the basis for general discussion
throughout the state. There are
times when Il would almost seem
that our jail and prison system had
broken down entirely; just now. for
instance. the need OF doing some
thing 10 uphold the dignity OF social
discipline should be evident TO every
citizen. What shall we do?
The Jail or prison difficulty is two
fold. Prisons fail with those wrong.
doers whom they do not catch; they
fail also with their inmates. The
public does not believe in them.
Emerson says: II you make the
criminal code sanguinary, jurtes will
not convict" If you make your pris-
ons destructive and cruel. the silent,
secret but powerful revolt of the
public will drag many a criminal out
of their clutches. II this Jail delivery,
as il in effect Is. were carried out on
any rational basis--an unofficial ex-
tension of the parole system--all
might be well, but II is not rational.
II is emotional, social and political
unjust inhuman and un-American.
The bootleggers flourish here be-
cause we haven't the nerve 70 send
them to Jail. big and little alike.
OF this institution. Tannebaum
who knows, has this TO say: 1T is
our attempt TO escape accountability
for the crimes we have committed
against the men and women we call
criminals. The prison is a reflex. Il
mirrors our hardness, our weakness,
our vengeance. our brutality. our
hate, everything but love and for
giveness; everything but our under
standing and sympathy, everything
but our intelligence and scientific
| knowledge" This statement is gem
orally true. and true enough for all
practical purposes of conditions In
Arizona.
Tannenbaum is for the eradication
OF the existing prison, root and
branch. whatever we substitute for
II as a solution OF the penal problem
will be an improvement. since It can
not be worse. THE old prison build
ing is an ingrained prejudice carved
out of stone. II Is saturated with the
assumption that criminals are des-
perate, vicious. sin-ridden and brutal
| beings. But all this is main
| ~ prejudice. The men in prison are
| unfortunate rather than vicious.
weak rather than bad. They need
attention rather than neglect. under

THE OLD GREEN VILLAGE FAR

Twas a cold and wintry evening in
the little country town.
The ice was on the sidewalks ana
the snow was coming down.
The village doctor heard a knock.
his front door opened wide
A ragged. barefoot child there stood
and 10 him these words cried:
CHORUS
Please don't sell dad prescription,
Mother needs clothes and shoes:
They are not sold In the drug store
Where father gets his booze:
Me and the kids are homeless,
Sailors without a port.
So please don't sell dad prescrip.

At sixteen dollars a quart.
2ND VERSE
A blush spread DER the doctors
cheeks; the childish plea was
heard
He had not realized the woe his
fountain pen had stirred;
A firm resolve he made that night
that he would ne'er again
Write on his Rx pad the words THAI
brought for this refrain:

Please don't sell dad prescription.
