80 EDUCATION WEEKS

One of the things which should
be learned: during the seven days Of
Educational Week is the fact
that every one of the SO weeks Of
every year should be an education
week.
Sound and wholesome education
means more to this country in the
long run than all the material
prosperity which could possibly
come to it. In fact. without educa-
ton the material prosperity would
not be assured. Even life. liberty
and happiness would be less hope
fully. pursued if education were
lacking.
There has been much quarreling
about education in recent years.
Whether it should be made more
practical and whether this theory
or that should be carried out are
questions which have occupied
mucl1 of the attention Of educators
and laymen alike. But even the
uuarreling will be beneficial If it
helps to keep education out of ruts.

EXPLORING WITH MOVIES

An expedition which has recently
returned TO Peking after five months
at research work in northern Asia
has made interesting discoveries
and had many adventures. The
explorers covered about 4.800 linear
miles and mapped out an area OF
:s1e square miles for further. de-
tailed exploration. They found the
skeleton Of hitherto unheard oil
prehistoric animal and a fossil
aeld rich in specimens. They en-
.countered tribes of natives whofhad
never before seen a white man or
anything like the automobiles and
huge motor trucks used by the
party.
In addition to the many facts of
keen interest to scientists and his
.torians. the explorers brought back
with them a complete record OF
their trip in the form OF more than
&c, 900 feet of motion picture film.
Not every one who desires can
travel and explore to his hearts
content. But thanks to the de-
veiopment of the movie, nearly
every one can at some time see life
like and fascinating pictures of re-
mote regions and peoples.

FILIBESTERING

..5 = = b. = /.
Senator Watson of Indiana thinks
some way should be found by
Congress to dc away with the filis-
buster. He does not favor gas
methods. but does believe that
regulations should be established
which will enable a majority OF the
Senate always TO carry on business
with decent degree of speed.
The senator thinks that much of
the public dissatisfaction with Con-.
,gress and much of the ridicule to
which it is subjected arises from
disgust at this old. established
method of delaying legislation
practised habitually by minorities
Of both parties. He points out
that dignifed debate. confined to
the measure under consideration,
has no relation to the flibuster.
which consists largely Of idle chat
ter on irrelevant matters sinply for
the purpose OF killing time and
putting off final vote on the
pending issue.
These sentiments will meet with
general approval. The nation is
sick OF the dflatory tactics in which
Congress had INDUCED SO much. 1t
would welcome any measures which
tended to speed up the nations
business and restore congressional
procedure to dignity worthy OF
public confidence. Such measures
should be equally welcome to the
legislators themselves. It is diff
6cult, though. to see how the pur-
pose can be attained in the Senate
without a cloturc rule to limit de-

day predicted that before long the
national capital will be establish

the Mississippi valley, more ap-
prexmately the heart Of the coun-
try.
The speaker, Col. William Boyce.
said that there is great discomfort
in the regions west of the Alleshen-
les, over the assumption of pow
er by eastern factions. because the
espRaf is located s:jn the East. He
explains that congressman elected
from the West and serving over a
period of years eventually become
imbued with the eastern viewpoint
and that much legislation partial

is the result. to the cost OF the
Middle West and West. If the cap
itai were situated more nearly in
the center Of the country. he be-
lieves that the congressman would
remain mere under the sway OF
their own constituencies and leg

DOUBLE DECK STREETS

t'The only saturation point in the
automobile industry" says an au-
tomobiIe man, is the capacity of
the highways" In city streets and
in highways near large cities, he
remarks, capacity has been reach

pcnsive and difficult, to broaden or
multiply thoroushfares in buils-up

"Double-deck streets is the
answer" he says.
It is not new idea. Double
deck streets have been long fore
seen as the ultimate solution for
dense traffic. But the advent and
rapid increase OF the automobile
has accelerated the crowding pro-
cess and hastened the demand for
remedy.
We shall see it, no doubt, before

the lower level given up mainly or
wholly to vehicle traffic and the
upper level providing balcony
