| day. they might have been convinced
that what the teaching profession has
to do for some time to come Is TO sell
education to the American people, and
make them understand that what they
are selling has more value than any thing
else In the world.
The Puritans and Pilgrims. who
helped to lay the foundation Of this
nation. were idealists. Religion and
education they held very close to their
hearts. One reason they came to these
shores was to educate their children
under conditions of freedom and cluni-
IIty of opportunity. The history Of pub
lie education in this country Is not only
the story of idealism held high under
pioneer conditions. but the record of Il
marvellous achievement.
Perhaps this generation docs not hold
education SO high as the forefathers
did. If this is true. 1t seems advisable
to seek the reasons.
Industrial life has expanded with
great rapidity. and business success has
been repeatedly achieved without much
education. The schools have had large
problem to keep pace with this vast in :
oustrial growth. Ono reason why they
do not educate is that they have con-
fused the pupils by an overlooking of
the study list.
The large masses of undiSestcd aliens
in this country have not tended to ini-
prove the status of education. This
influx has brought in it, wake large
areas of illiteracy and lowered the gem
cral average of intellectual aspiration
and understanding. For this reason
the schools must have time and Lrpor-
tnnity to catch up with their task of
citizen making.
The reasons why education must now
be sold to the American people as never
before must be looked into. If general
indifference toward this great value is
to be overcome. In time OF distrac-
zion and multiplying interests. respect
for education, as Mr.. Tigcrt sugge>ts,
must be consciously cultivated. if this
nation is to be wise in the use of free
dom and restrained in the enjoy ment Of
power and prosperity.

Contempt vs.. Respect for Law

70 the Editor Of the Evcnin0 Pubiic Ledger:
Sir-Kindly permit me to attempt to
quench the thirst for truth of that
nsatiabe truth seeker, 't. +. X,
who shows his contempt for the
United States Constitution and laws as
pertaining to prohibition.
His first question IS. How can man
by human effort prohibit nature, viz.
stop the natural law Of fermentation;"
Answed: Man can't and don't at
tempt to prohibit any natural law,
whether it is the law Of fermentation,
gravitation, heat or cold, electricity and
all other natural laws. but he wisely
Sasses laws TO prevent vicious and
greedy men from using these natural
laws to the injury of their fellow
men. Does that enlighten your ignor
ance, Mr.. X?
Mr.. KS second question Is too
trifing and vague TO waste time upon.
His third question / will answer in
this way: II, as he asserts. it is true,
that all the officers engaged in enforcing
the prohibition law are 'sneaks, spies,
informers and the most contemplate
species Of mankind" does it not, there
fore, in accordance with his method of
reasoning, necessarily follow that all
OmCerS thSuscu III IuiHiiiS uoNu oNuer
classes of criminals besides bootleggers
are also contemplate spies, sneaks and
informers
II not, why not? ! nm sure that
the other crooks. such as dope sellers,
gamblers, hold-up men, burglars, etc,
all have the same contempt" and hate
for the officers OF the law who inter-
fere with their criminal activities as
does the average bootlegger or home
brewer for prohibition officers.
Honest, law abiding citizens have
respect, not contempt for the Of
aesrs of the law.

He's Cautious About the Fair

70 the Edi'or OF the Evcnno Pu1!ie Ledger:
Sir-Phi'adclphia apparently docs
not show any great desire for the
Sesqui- Centennial World Fair. as little
interest is evinccd in the project. One
of our prominent citizens. man of
good Judgment. foresight and big bust.
4 ness talent. has come forward and
affirmed his disapp-oval Of the coming
exposition and Philadelphia should de-
liberate carefully before becoming in
vOlved in mammoth undertaking
wherein success cannot now be assured.
Federal sanction has now been obtained.
but where the money is to come from
Is not yet definitely known. nor are the
officers who are to conduct the under
taking.
Let us think the matter over for our
selves:
The greatest advantage of an cxposi-
tion in the year 1926 would accrue TO
large property owners and spectators
In real estate. though the promoters of
the fair no doubt arc men who have the
interest of the city and its people at
heart. In the first place the exposition
will prevent the present and natural
decline in realty values Will bring about
an increase in The price of all COM
modities. including the cost of living :
will mean higher prices for the home
buyer. increased rentals and increased
taxes and disturb the whole economic
position now attained and brought about
only by persistent and rracticrd
economic measures, thereby removing
more distant the true economic level.
Real estate has already faced de-
cline; in fact, its peak turned year
ago. Talk of the exposition has Stiitened
the back of real estate and prices will
no doubt continue to soar well toward
1925. In the interval. the housing
situation il becoming more acute and
-t0gether with the increase in prices Of
commodities. the situation will be even
more critical than that experienced dur
ing and in the wake of the war period.
r. Another advantage likely to be gained
By the exposition would be a stimulation
Of export trade with other States and
other cities of the Union and probably
America but keen competition now
being the rule, it is difficult to assume
q definitely large return. a. the existing
keen competition operating in all eX-
plotted territories precludcS TO some eX-
tent the need Of the oldtime exposition.
and undocS its purpose.
+ The industrial situation prior to the
opening of the fair and continuing dur
ing its life viii be improved. but this
will bc part Of the burden the project
will carry.
The other nations Of the world will
be heavy sellers and light buyers for
many years to come and il wilt be diff
cult to interest them in n selling mar
ket. their main task being to find I
selling market for their own products.
What is to be gained seems tritling
and doubtful. The disadvantages APP
pear to overwhclm what little may be
gained. If Philadelphia needs IL world 5
fair exposition, it is certainly not now
or any time near 1926.

Women and World Peace

~ the Editor OF the Evening Public Lcdoers
Sir--It is n significant fact that world
peace Is the main plank Of all the
women candidates FOR Congress this
year-six of them, as 1 understand.
Women who stay home and suffer hours
Of untold anxiety during wars, even
though death pass their doors, who
scrimp and save that war taxes may be
paid--these understand better than
most men what war means.
Proud though they may be Of the
strapping youth who marches by.
through their eyes. blurred with tears.
they see the curly headed baby for whom
they went through the valley of death.
80 patriotic that they will send their
men away with a smile. though they
must clench their hands to keep back
the tears. they rea ize that there should
be way, with honor. to curb wars.
These American women candidates
seem sane in their views. They do not
20 to extremes. They would not have
this nation entirely disarmcd in world
filed with armed nations. sheep
among wolves. They explain 1t is cdu-
cation that will minimize wars.
And who better than mothers can
educate the oncoming generations to
strive for world peace? Men are too
busy with their balance sheets and golf
scores to give attention to the prob
lem. They drift into wars. let youth
end them. talk for day of putting
stop to wars. and then drift back into
the customary mental laziness.
La tpG
And the encouraging feature is that not
only tie women of this country. but
women in England, and France, and
Germany. and Italy. and. yes, even in
Japan, are also teaching their children
to curb international hatreds.
