School ESSAYS

Young America found its finest ex-
preston in the four essays on "Cour-
tesy'' that The Tribune printed Tues
day. 1t was with pride that The Trib-
use offered to the world just a sample
of what Caldwell schools are doing,
in what direction they are training the
minds OF young American citizenship.
Courtesy is an abstract thing. Lack
ing tangibility, the subject is not one
that lends itself to easy Interpretation
1t is significant that the four essays
which were regarded as most repre-
sentative of those written by Caldwell
school children were explicit. clear cut.
The childish mind sees things sim
ply. Expressing things simply leads
to concise, we'll written English. Those
Caldwell children have not had to
learn that adjectives and and other
literary" embellishments only weaken
the written word.
1t was natural that school influence
should find expression in at least one
of the essays. But it is to be COM
mended that not one Of the young
authors tritely referred TO that Ra-
leigh incident that is always held be-
fore the noses of Young America as
the acme of courtesy. Freshness. or
iginality. are objects sought in good
writing, the medium for the expression
OF ideas. Surely there can be no COM
plant from the public generally that
Caldwell schools are neglecting that
one prime requisite of an education;
familiarity with the English language
and ability to use it well.
Young America to-day does not
converse II blabs and slaughters an
expressive tongue with idiocies that
closely approach the twadle of fos-
ter parent to lap poodle. But fun
damentally, Young America is sound
and thinks straight.
In passing the cooperation OF such
civic organizations as the Kiwanis
Club in making the essay contest the
success it was deserves commentator.
Schools need that sort of interest. So
does the public.

FRENCH TONGUE
MORE POPULAR
With Spanish, Is Avidly
Pursued By Stu
dents.

WASHlNGTO\-Ihc study OF
languages has had big boom within
the last SIN or seven years, and now
not only are between $1,000 and IS
600 people taking courses in Spanish
in great national institutions like the
Berlitz School OF Languages. but the
Bureau OF Education al Washington
reports that more than 10000 Ameri-
cans are studying Spanish IN 4O4 out
of the OH universities and colleges.
Next to Spanish the demand is great
est for French instruction. In no
other way is the universal interest IN
the progress OF the world asserting
itself among human beings as is
shown in the growing desire OF people
to study foreign languages. Shortly
before America entered the world war
there was a regular rush at the Ber-
liiz schools throughout the country to
study French. Those who expected to
go abroad FASTENED TO equip them
selves in the language OF the country
they were to visit. And when the
hordes began to return there were
thousands of service men who enroll
ed at the private schools, colleges and
universities. The war. it may be as
sumed, planted the seed for an inter
nationalism new to America, and that
seed has been bearing its crops of
linguists. Having visited France many
sweet recollec:ions OF experiences re-
main TO the former service men. and
to the young women who enrolled
with the Red Cross or the other units.
This has stimulated an interest that
has driven them by the thousands to
bury their studious noses into the
pages between covers of books that
reveal the mysteries OF foreign ton
CUES. The trend towards Spanish has
more of a commercial aspect than the
study OF French. and is due to the
growing determination to annex Lat
in-American trade. There were prac-
tically no courses in Spanish in the
universities until after the war But
for more than a quarter of century
the Berlitz people were blazing the
way for the development OF know
ledge OF French. Spanish Italien. Ger

profitable for a number of negro farm

And craftsmanship should be assured
them by properly conducting the
events in which these visitors partici-
pate. For. more than winning, it is
the incubation of craftsmanship that
makes athletics popular in the United
States, both from the standpoint of the
athlete and the public.
Having the facilities for staging a
track meet and adding to that pleasant
reputation of having put over" the
first meet of the kind held in south

KLANSMEN CELEBRATE

Klansmen of Charleston, South
Carolina, are celebrating the election
of Protestant Americans to the var
ious municipal Offices in their city and
the elimination of Catholic control of
their local politics.
In one of the bitterest fought cleo
tions in recent years and amid con-
ditions which made it necessary for
Governor Mcleod to call out the ma
tional guard to ensure fair vote and
prevent rioting, Thomas P. Stoney,
who the newspapers alleged to be a
Klansman, defeated Mayor John P.
Grace, a Roman Catholic and a
Knight of Columbus, by a majority of
1,265 votes. The entire Stoney ticket
was swept into Office by similar ma
jorities.
Mayor Stoney was elected on a
pledge to give his city good govern
ment and end the ring control of mu-
nicipal politics.

Why PUBLIC SCHOOLS?
SOME FUNDAMENTAL REASONS FOR OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
BY HENRY G. TARDY.

ties of our form of government and
the fact that, under our governmental
system, we can have as good or as
bad an administration of government
as the citizens desire or approve.
If the common public schools in any
locality are not good enough for the
children of it's best citizens, then such
best citizens should join with their
fellow-citizens and raise the standard
of the school to that of the best. It
is for the citizens of each locality to
see that their schools are maintain
ed at the highest standards. Public
education is a function of govern
ment which should be maintained free
from partisan politics, and citizens
of education and character should
take an active part in seeing that the
schools are managed by educational
leaders who have the interests of
education at heart. Those who de-
vote their lives to the education of
our children should be honored by the
community on account of their pro-
fession and also properly compensat-
ed as are other important agents of
government. The proper way to raise
the dignity and Importance of educa-
ton in the public eye is to officially
recognize that it is function of both
our state and Federal Government
and this can best be done by creating
a Department of Education under the
charge of Cabinet officer, as is pro-
posed by the Sterling Towner Bill
now dead in committee. Such a rec
ognition of education as one Of the
functions and duties of government
will make people recogize the real
purpose of education, and will enable
those localities which can i'll afford
the best educational facilities a
means to obtain them through Fed
eral aid. Besides, the department
will act as a great clearing house in
respect to educational matters for all
the states and enable educators to
keep in touch with the best education
al methods, for, although the funda-
mentals of education do not change,
methods of imparting such funda-
mentals are being constantly i'm
proved.
General education in the fundamen-
tails will enable our citizens to under
stand the true meaning of liberty in
republic, to think clearly and I'M
derstandingly ON public questions, to
intelligently correct the Imperfect
lions of government, and to attain
realization of those ideals in gov
eminent held by the thinking states
men of our age.

Our kitchen back home was the

That ever a body could find!
Why, even the stove had smile on
it's face,
And even the kettle looked kind.
The cooky-jar stood in the handiest
nook!
The floor was scrubbed white. -.
I declare,
No kitchen had ever so friendly a
look!
But-that was when Mother was
there.
Our doorway back home wore vine
on it's head,
And oh, how those roses did bloom!
They nodded a welcome to stranger.
and said,
"Come in, folks! There's plenty
of room!"
The pathway was worn by our roll
licking feet;
The door had a reckoning air,
No house was so friendly, no roses
so sweet
But-that was when Mother was
there.

friendly a place
AS that one? It held US all fast,
Bound close by the love in one vel

DID (IvC viii We Have S0MMER
] VI yAl JThis Winter? No! No! NO!
We MAKE MANY LAWS

When it comes to our laws, we
have to face a number of unpleasant
facts and disagreeable situations.
Our courts are congested, and OH
laws too numerous, conflicting and
uncertain. In many jurisdictions it
takes year or more to get trial
with an action at law. Calendars are
cluttered with motions and matters
of procedure which do not enter into
the rights of the parties involved.
Many thousands of cases annually
are brought to the courts for settle
ment which, under normal conditions,
would be arbitrated as to the facts,
with no question as to the law.
It is, of course, a well known fact
that American courts have had to re-
sort to the precedents of old English
common law where no direct case or
statute law appeared to aply con all
tours" in our own legal history.
This has perhaps been the underlying
reason for the inordinate quantity Of
common and statute law promulgat-
ed during the last few decades. Ma
tional pride and the desire amply to
cover all possible situations with our
own statutes and presidents is nat
ural. It must not be forgotten,
either, that we have been consolidat-
ing a transcontinental empire, and
that democratic system produces
an excess rather than a dearth of
laws.
It has been estimated that, in a
single year (1919), in only IS Of our
4s states, nearly 10000 bills were in
troduced and more than $4,000 were
passed at a cost of about $500 per
law. Congress handles anywhere
from 10000 to 10000 bills in a sin
gle session, and it is estimated that
the last congress passed $50 laws.
There is no exact record Of the num-
Der of laws now on the statute books
throughout the country, but certainly
there are at least $4,000 and probably
more nearly LOG, 000.-Review of Re-
views.
