Our School Standards

~ HERE has been much talk In the past few
Il years about the falling off in the former high
standards of the Indianapolis public schools that many
have come to believe the situation almost hope
less That the standard is not high it was few
years ago admitted freely by school officials This
they attribute largely the overcrowded condition OF
the schools and the fact that until recently teachers
in indianapolis were underpaid in comparison with
those of other cities of the same class.
That the situation is not serious as many believe
is shown by figures compiled by the department of
search of the school board.
These figures show that 602 per cent of school
children who began their school work outside of In
dianapolis are making slow progress, while only S44
per cent of the children who began their work here
were given this classification These figures would
indicate that the of education in Indianapolis
still IS higher than in a majority of other com
munites.

Medical Science
Prepares Fight
AGAINST Cancer
BY ROY J. GIBBONS
NEA staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-Science is
marshaling her legions for a nations
wide attack upon mankind's most Bit
ter enemy in which you are asked
to Join.
The common foe is cancer. This
is the disease which last year killed
ever 100000 adults past the age OF
35 in the United States alone-more
than all the casualties suffered by the
A E F. during two years of warfare
To cancer is attributed the highest
death rate in the country next to
tuberculosis. In many States it takes
the greatest toll of human life.
These facts are announced by DR..
James E. Rush, field officer for the
American Society for the Control or
Cancer, the organization under whose
auspices National Cancer week is be-
ing staged Nov. II to IS, all over the
country.
Cancer in its early and non-nla-
lignant stages is absolutely durable
providing competent medical aid Is
solicited and proper treatment insu-
tuted in time DIR. Rush says.
Must Not Delay
1.-THE great and sole danger with
cancer lies in procrastination. 1t
must be checked only through sur
gical or X-ray treatments at the start.
1.-THE purpose of National Cancer
week is preventive rather than curt
tive. 1t seeks to warn the public IN
time so that sufferers can be saved II
thew but take heed before the time
is too late.

Long skirts are said to be much
more popular with the younger

may wear practically any type of

Idaho is to be the center of supply
for dairy products in the United States
and its present possibilities are great
er than any section of the country, de-
clared j. LKraft, wealthy cheese man
ufacturer and distributor of Chicago.

dairy business.

~ besides willing to establish 80
cheese factories in the dairy section
of the state" Mr.. Kraft said, "as soon
as producers come to the realization
of their many opportunities"
The manufacturer, who was in Boise
in May, following a survey of the pos
sibilities in the dairy section, is ac-
companied on his present tour by a
group of financiers and dairy products
manufacturers who assert that the
distributor and manufacturer of these
products are looking TO Idaho to sup
ply the ever increasing demand in the
country.
Both Mr.. Kraft and his associates.
besides those who are with him at this
time, are urging bankers, farmers and
business men TO take advantage of the
opportunity to make this state the
center of the American dairy industry
THE country is demanding a great
err amount of just the thing that Idaho
can give in quantities." he declared,
and every possible resource is avail
able in the state for unlimited pro-
duction
Leading dairy states of the union
have reached their limit of supply and
others are decreasing in volume. Wis
consin can feed only about 10 COWS
per hundred acres of land, which in
Idaho it is possible to feed three cows
per acre. The development of dairy
ing is the most vital thing you have.
If you do this intelligently, Idaho cit
les will grow to many times their size,
and if bankers do their part, Idaho's
banks will grow with them"
