One OF the things which should be
learned during the seven days of Educa-
ton week is the fact that every one of
the 81 weeks of every year should be
an education week. Sound and whole
some education means more to this
country in the long run than all the ma
terial prosperity which could possibly
come TO it. In fact, without education
the material prosperity would not be as
sured. Even life. liberty and happiness
would be less hopefully pursued if edu-
cation were lacking. There has been
much quarreling about education in re-
cent years. Whether it should be made
more practical and whether this theory
or that should be carried out are ques-
tions which have occupied much of the
attention Of educators and laymen alike.
But even the quarrelling will be benefi-
cial if it helps to keep education out of
ruts

What Is a Proper State Policy?
(St. Albans Messenger

If the incoming legislature, when it
gets down to putting into effect the
economy program, is going to accomplish
anything worth while it must face and
answer the fundamental question: What
is a proper state policy? If the state
has been justified in branching out into
all the activities it has undertaken in re-
cent years, the question is, how and
where TO cut down? If the state has not
been justified, then economy is easy if
the legislature has the courage TO bring
Us back into the proper path But the
decision of the real and rightful function
of government must first be made before
there can be any settlement of the matter
of state expenditures.

The MeddLe1-
IF the coat fits you. put it on"

The Meddler walked through the new
quarters of the Peoples bank the other
evening and experienced much the same
feeling az if re were communing with
some old friend who was going to be
shot at sunrise for something that never
really occurred. The first account he
ever opened was with the Peoples; his
earliest advice on business affairs came
from its longtime cashier, the late ".
III. Bracket; ever since he can remem-
Der its location has been. spoken of as
the bank corner" And now, when its
plant has just been brought to state
of efficiency attained by comparatively
few country financial institutions, it is
to be dismantled because somebody fbe-
lieves that there viii be advantages in
merging il with another equally well
known banking organization.
No doubt there are advantages. And
possibly the objections to the consolida-
ton are based on sentiment. which in
these materialistic days doesn't butter
any bread, as The Meddler has said be-
fore. But to say that the proposition
meets with favor with local business
concerns or with suburbanites who make
this their banking center would be a
sorry distortion of the truth. There is
general and increasing regret over the
plan, and the feeling is by no means con-
fined TO Peoples bank customers. In
deed. at the risk of falling into the
clutches of the money powers The Med
der is willing to wager a basket of
raspberries that a majority of the direc-
tors in the two institutions deep down
in their hearts-yes, bank directors have
hearts-share it.
Aside from this phase of the PROPOSE
ton there is another unfortunate aspect
to be found in the impression which is
being created outside the town and
county. More than one person has been
heard to inquire If the consolidation
might be taken to indicate that there
wasn't enough business for three COM
mercial banking institutions in this To-
Guilty. OF course there is, and the nat
ural rejoinder of the merger advocates is

The unseasonably mild weather that pre-
vailed up to Dec l did much to alleviate
but it didn't actually produce
any coal to make up for the shortage re-
sulting from the six months of idleness
in the anthracite fields; it merely made
the available supply go a little farther.
Bearing these facts in mind, it is the
duty of every user of hard coal to hus
band his supply (if he has any,, use

all things be patient with his coal dealer.

THE youngest VETERAN

The coming encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic at Des Moines has
brought to the fore numerous claimants
to the rather paradoxical distinction of
being the youngest veteran" of the Civil
War; Warren D. Second, of New Roch-
ellie, New York, in applying for reserva-
tions says the honor is his, since he is only
II years old. He has never missed meet
ing of the organization.
When the subject of youthful soldiers
of the Civil War is mentioned, the name
of Johnny Glen, the drummer boy of
Shiloh" invariably comes to mind He
was born in Newark, Ohio, in 1851 and in
May 1861, attempted to enlist as drum
mer boy with the Third Ohio Volunteers,
but was rejected on account of his diminu-
tive stature as well as his age. The follow
ing year he was accepted by the Twenty
second Michigan Infantry. At the battle
of Shiloh his drum was shattered by a
Confederate SHE'LL At the battle of Chich-
amuga, when he was only twelve he car
ried musket instead of drum and dis
played conduct that brought him promo
ton to the rank of sergeant. After serving
in the thickest of the fight and receiving
three bullet holes through his hat, he be-
came separated from his companions. A
mounted Confederate colonel called to
him to halt and surrender. Johnny halted
but did not surrender. Instead he raised
his gun and killed the colonel. He served
throughout the war and in 1871 was APP
pointed second lieutenant of infantry by
President Grant. This was followed by a
course Of training at the Fortress Monroe
artillery school.
Today he is a retired major general
living in Washington after distinguished
career in the regular army, including valu-
able service as quartermaster general in
the Philippines. 1t would seem that Mr.
Second, of New Rochelle, will have to Yield
the title of youngest veteran" to Gen
Glenn, but he may gain the place on the
list indicated by his name The Civil
War more than any Of our wars was not
able for the conflict, and the southern
army had its share.

SEEING THE LIGHT

Sometimes industries see the light be-
fore celebrates. Industry knows which
side its bread is buttered on.
Will Hays direct power within the mo-
ton picture producing business is largely
imaginative. He is an influence, not an
active director Primarily he was picked
as the minister of the industry to the ma
ton. What the business wants, Hays goes
after. The capacity of counsel is second to
this capacity of consul.
Judge Lands may play more intimate
part in controlling the baseball business
than does Hays in pictures. But the judge
was picked not particularly because base
ball needed general manager, but be-
cause it depends on the confidence of base
ball followers for its existence and because
nominating Lands was calculated to foster
that confidence. Lands is the interpreter.
of baseball to the country.
Lately other enterprises have adopted
this method Of making their aims and de-
sires articulate and nationally known.
Augustus Thomas probably knows less
about theatrical producing than Lee Shu-
bert, but Mr.. Thomas repute touches a
broader field. He is fitted to speak for the
theatre, to translate misunderstood phases
of the business to the public. So he is the
theatres chairman" Franklin Roosevelt
is the newly selected voice of the builders.
This industry and the other three have
been subject to much criticism lately. They
saw the necessity for national representa-
ton in single known and impassive
figure.
