and their money in sports, there
would be more occasion for real
loyalty to the schools and less oc-
casion for radical legislation. If the
sports added to the zest for school
work, if the leaders in those activ-
tiles were the successful ones when
they finish school and get out into
practical work and business, if there
were not so many graduates unable
or failing to make living and COM
hitting all sorts of crimes to obtain
money or property, there would be
more loyalty to schools and the
school spirit. When alleged educa-
tors talk about wrecking the educa-
tional system, they might better look
closer in to the schools for some of
the causes Of the wrecking.
Each of the higher institutions of
learning goes to the legislature to
ask for more and larger appropria-
lions to erect more buildings and for
equipment to accommodate more
students, and keeps a press bureau
and solicitors competing with other
institutions trying to get more stu
dents for the coming year. They tell

is and how great the need and yet
they do not call off their solicitors in
their great urge to get the students
in-not just into some school, but
vying with each other, each trying to
get the young folks into their school,
advising that that is the particular
place for them.
At this time the public press is
supplied with much mail from the
various schools within a radius of a
few hundred miles, containing &C.
counts of football games and other
school activities which it is assumed
will find it's way into the newspapers
as if the public were craving to know
which team won each week at Seat
tie, Mocow, Lewiston, McMinnville,
The Tech, Logan, Salt Lake, Provo.
If the president of the institution
makes a speech it is sent to the press
of two states along with mention of
what the librarian said about the
library or the coach said concerning
If the parents who are
staying at home and sacrificing to
keep the sons and daughters in dis !
tant schools could read the trashy re-
ports that are kept streaming out to
the various newspapers all over the
country to clutter the editors mails
and waste baskets, they would have
a very discouraging vision Of the
school activities they are paying so
dearly for. If the editors published
all the accounts of petty games and
pink teas that are mailed to them
from universities it might so impress
the public mind that there would be
one live issue in the coming elections
more legislation to curb the waste
an misdirected energies of the
schools.

SCHOOL MANAGEMENT
SEEKING RELIEF

Idaho educators are passing thu
word around at this time that ther'
is to be a meeting of teachers an(
managerial forces of the institutions
of learning of this state at Pocatellt
soon, for the purpose of combating
the effect of radical legislation of the
last assembly affecting the schools OF
the state, and it will be interesting
to sit in on their deliberations tc
hear what is said.
If they brand the last Legislature
as radical, there must of necessity be
counter charges against the schools,
and both will be correct. The school
people have done and are doing so
many things to drive the rank and
file into radical frame of mind re-
garding school activities, it is only
natural that these acts should be
matched with radical measures.
For example, the educators built
up the system of teachers Institutes
to close all the schools for week
while the teachers went to gather
ing which a large percentage OF
them either looked upon as bore
or looked forward to as an occasion
for having a great time, celebrating
by night and sleeping and resting by
day to be ready for the next night.
People living in the institute towns
who took the teachers into their
homes, received an awakening on
the subject that was considerable.
Certainly the teachers had a good
time, and certain it was that insti-
tute management from the state sup
1,.sx1 -, RI nd "
lecturers had a struggle to secure
attendance at the ses-
sions and to secure attention while
they were present. The legislature
received information as to the condi-
tons and wiped the system out of ex-
istence, thereby deserving the plaud-
its of the state. Leading spirits in
school work are now railing about
the wrecking of the school system,
but men of practical turn of mind are
holding to the view that the schools
might as well be wrecked by re- !
straint as by being overdone. If edu- /
cation cannot go on without the
week of boredom and fun for teach
srs, how did the adults of today get
~ when there were no Institutes!
With a few exceptions the schools

terminal along Chrstiana river for
ocean steamers to load and unload
cargoes. Only a few have landed
there.
Last Monday steamship Commercial
Traveller left there with 1000 tons of
freight for Pacific coast ports. The
cargo consisted of steel, underwear,
hard fibre, rubber hose, hardware sup

dredge will be sent to Wilmington this
week by the United Dredging Com

WHY PROTECT
DESTRUCTIVE DEER?

L. A. Cooley, Secretary of the New
Jersey Federation of County Board of
Agriculture, has filed a statement at
the headquarters of the New Jersey
Fish and Game Commission, at Tren-
ton, that deer have damaged the crops
of 127 farmers in Atlantic County to
the value of $20,350 last year.
Deer are protected for a few sports
men to shoot during a few days in a
few years. We venture to say that
all the deer killed the past five years
are not worth $4,000. The sentimental
fad to protect wild life may be carried
to the extreme. If these rich sports
men want to protect deer let them
have their own inclosed game pre-
serve, and not protect a destructive
animal of little value for few senti-
mental sportsmen.
A destructive deer should be treated
like any other destructive thief. He
should have no legal protection.
Our sympathy is with the farmers
who make great physical exertions to
grow food to eat for himself, his fam
lily and others. They should shoot
down the destructive deer and eat the
venison to repay them for their labor
lost.
Any right minded juryman will pro-
tect the farmers in doing so.

CHRISTMAS SEALS ARE SELLING

The anti tuberculosis Xmas seal
selling in Penns Grove under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Charles Summerill made
such beginning on Monday that the
county chairman had startling re-
port by phone. In addition to the
usual seals auto tags are used this
year. A hundred were sent here and
John G. Sullivan disposed of them in
less than an hour. Forty thousand of
the seals have been distributed here
by mail. So if you want any just ask
your neighbor, who charge the usual
cent each.
The N. J. tuberculosis League and
it's local associations depends almost
entirly on the sale of Christmas seals
for the carrying on the work against
this disease. It's work is primarily
educational, paving the way toward
measures that will eventually stamp
out tuberculosis from our midst.

TWO CHRISTMAS IDEAS

Two Christmas notices have come to
this office, one from a religious jour
nal, another from Board of Com
merce. Both show a touch of con-
science toward to prevailing secular
ization of Christmas to which The
Dearborn Independent was the first to
cali attention several years ago. The
Continent discusses the matter OF
Christmas cards, advertising that def
mite request be made for cards re-
lated to the Christmas fact and the
Christmas sentiment. The card man
ufactureres who have surrendered to
the trend of glazing" Christmas
simply fell in with a deliberate alien
program (fell unwittingly in some
cases) todestroy the significance of the
Festival of Christ's Nativity. Those
who innocently assisted this program
will be the first to supply the demand
for legitimate Christmas cards which
The Continent suggests be made.
The Detroit Board of Commerce,
through it Retail Merchants Associa
ton, lends it's influence to ward the
correction of an abuse which has
nothing to excuse it. The letter is so
pertinent that extracts are here given:
"Will you cooperate with the Retail
Merchants Association in its endeavor
to eliminate the sO-called word Xmas
from all advertising, letters, OF any
other forms of publicity or communi-
cation? We are making this direct
appeal to the reputable stores and ad-
vertisers of Detroit in the hope that
we may eliminate the so-called word
and drop it forever into oblivion.
Christmas, is without doubt, the most
universally observed holiday of the
American people, and just why this SO
called word should have sprung into
such prominent misuse, we are unable
to ascertain. go. We are convinced that
Detroit business men will willingly
establish a rule in their places OF
business beginning this date that the
word Christmas must be spelled out
in full in every instance. At the meet
ing of our Board of Directors this
matter was brought up and by unan-
imous vote it was decided to make a
city-wide campaign to eliminate the
word Xmas from all advertising"
Both suggestions are right and can
be objectionable only to those who
have nothing whatever to do with the
Festival itself.-Dearbon lndepen-
dent, 1929.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Sees Appeal To Conservatives

From The World
With his first message to Congress
Mr.. Coolidge has put himself on rec
ord. He stands revealed before the
country as a President with the cour-
age to announce opinions which he
knows to be unpopular with formld-
able section of the Republican party.
1t is in his stout advocacy Of lower
taxation that Mr.. Coolidge most con
spicuously exhibits qualities of posi-
tive leadership. If in this regard the
country shall follow him it will be to
the general advantage.
Mr.. Coolidge has worked out an able
message from a conservative Repuo-
lican point of view. His stand on tax
alton should appeal to the entire coun-
try. His stand on the bonus should
win increasing approval under discus
sion. His position is naturally weak
est in foreign policy, because the Re
publican party has no foreign policy
and the Senate will not permit a for
eign policy to be developed. Mr.
Coolidge, at least, does not try to de-
velop one.
Politically, Mr.. Coolidge serves no
tice that as a candidate for the Presl-
dency he turns to the conservative ele-
ment in his party for support next
year and looks to the East for hls
nomination and for election if nomIi-
mated. His Identification of himself
with conservatism is partly, no doubt
the result of anxious thought after
consultation with his advisers. 1t is
mainly instinct. Not for nothing did
Calvin Coolidge grow up a farmer boy
in Nel1nont and Kansas.

laws World Court Is Not Enough

From The Evening Post
Clarity. conciseness and courage
are the distinguishing marks of Presl-
dent Cooldge's first address to Con-
gress.
On the most delicate topic confront
ing him the President is bluntest. Ten
words are enough: But don't favor
the granting of bonus" That is
more than a recommendation It is a
challenge. 1t is difficult to see how
this can be read as anything but a
warning that if a bonus bill IS passed
Mr. Coolidge will veto it.
The World Court is not enough. The
President has shown courage in advo-
eating the World Court as against the
Johnsons and McCormicks. But his
vision has not reached to the full
measure of this country's necessary
part in the problem of world recon-
struction.

DEFECTIVE BALLOTS

Among the criticisms about the bal
lot voted at the school election on the

opposite one proposition on the Barber

were to be made are printed on type
block. One of these blocks pulled out
during the printing and was not motto
ed until the ballots were to be used.

KAMELIA SISTERS ORGANIZE

The Knights Kamelia, of New Jer-

to the Ku Klux Klan, have filed incor-
poration papers in the office of the
Secretary of State. The headquarters
of the society was given at 70S Powell
Street, Gloucester City, Camden Coun-
ty. The Kamelia was organized under
the act to incorporate societies not for
pecuniary profit, as was the Klan it
self, which filed similar papers in
Trenton a couple of months ago. The
purpose of which Kamelia was organ
lied were given in the certificate as
benevolent, fraternal, charitable, pro
tective, and eleemosyanary. The trus-
tees for the first year are Samuel F.
Warfeld and Earl Moore, of Glouces-
ter City; Clifford H. Duro and William
J. Allen, of Westville, and William P.

Easter island, the land of mystery
of the South Pacific, is virtually de

life of any kind.
No trees grow on Easter island be-
cause it lacks water and the heavy
winds wreck them.
No birds live there because there
are no worms in the dry soil.
There are no mosquitoes, but this
lack is more than compensated by
vicious local flies. Two hundred Poly
