END OF THE BUILDING B0Ou2

During the first five months of the wear the new
building started in the United States aggregated So
200000C00. This is called "a new high record for ali
time, which in the of the United States is "some
record"
1t is mainly the building Industry that has held
the industrial system steady when there has been less
activity than usual in certain industries Building has
justified its Characterization the "baance wheel of
industry 1t has taken up the slack of the other in
dustrles keeping nearly all the available wornen en-
poyed and sustaining wages and general prosperity
Can the building boom last? Many observers say
not They believe that the building famine left by the
war will soon be relieved. The housing shortage
which was the worst of all the building shortages,
seems to be almost made up The only question about
that whether the American people are going to be
satisfied with as much and good housing they had
before the war; whether higher standards will keep
the building industry busy at high wages and high
prices Tor two three years more, meeting the
demand before construction settles down to normal
volume
Some decrease Including is now observable and
construction Tor the rest of this year may be less few
ersh That suggests that there to be gradual re-
cesslon from now on But nobody can be sure. There
have been such recessons before with renewed activity
On the whole, it seems unlikely that building
rents will go down much for two three years,
least. For the present, slight recession will do
harm to the country, because other industries can
doubtless absorb, autumn on, any labor
leased by builders.

SCIENCE Us. LITERATURE

The American Classical League has brought upon
itself some ridicule and criticism for demanding six
high school years in order that Latin and Greek
may be taught to high school pupils. The group of
citizens which feels that need more science and
more practical courses in the schools instead of more
Latin Greek and general literature is likely to be par
tcuarly wroth the Classical League for persist
ing in its demands.
About 40 years ago Matthew Arnold discussed the
subject in lecture given in this country. Much that
he said then about the conflict and confusion
educators to the relative Importance of these two
great divisions of study is timely now
Il cannot think he said, that human letters are
in much actual danger of being thrust out from their
leading place in education. So long human nature
is what it is their attractions will remain irresistible.
'As with Greek, with letters generally; they
will day come, we may hope to be stddied more
nationally but they will not lose their place II they
lose it for time, they will get it back again.
"A poor humanist may possess his soul IN patti
ence neither strive cry admit the energy and brill
ancy of the partsans of physical science, and their
present favor with the public to be far greater than
his own and still have happy faith that the nature
of things works silently behalf of the studies which
he loves

MILITART DECENCT

The commandment of citizens military training
camp makes it clearly understood that brains, not
Drawn, justice not browbeating, and courtesy, not
profanity to be employed In the handling of the
young enlisted in that camp.
''Of course" the reader may remark. 'Why not?"
Well to tell the truth there is no reason why such
conduct should not prevail in military training camps
everywhere-eXcept that military life, somehow, often
seems to make brutes of men, Genuine militarism al
ways works that way. That of the great
troubles in Germany. The insolence and cruelty of
German drillmasters has been notorious, and beyond
anything that Americans would endure
Discipline in the American army has often appear
ed loose that scandazed foreign military officers
Yet in the supreme test it has always justified itself
The American type of soldier is independent think
ing selfrespecting man, who insists being treated
respectfully and who justifes such treatment. Dis,
cipne there must be- but the American ideal is self
discipline which leaves will and initiative free instead
of reducing every soldier to a machine
The rules referred to characteristic of the
American training camps, and assurance if anyone
needs it. that this country is far indeed from mtar
ism. The boys will not learn much in those camps this
summer that will hurt them. They will learn much
that will benefit them and their country They
not in barracks they fine training school for
free citizens.

This was a counter move to a

Anyhow, when Nurse Jane went

Cotton CHASING
Offices viii Be
Opened in Fresno

Director G. II. Hecke of the state
department of agriculture announces
the opening of cotton classing of
fees at Fresno and Bakersfield.
This action on the part OF the de-
partment of agriculture is in re-
cognition Of the Importance Of the
San Joaquin Valley as a cotton pro-
ducing area.
In October, 1929, state cotton
chasing service was inaugurated by
the opening of an office at Blythe
in the Paio Verde Valley. The
benefits derived were such as to
warrant extension of the service
into other cotton producing sections
of the state. 1t is believed dhat
the issuance Of official state Ger
tificates relative to the quality and
staple of the cotton will be an
important factor in the development
of an industry which bids fair TO
become of primary Importance in
many of our San joaquin Valley
counties. Such a service is of ben
eft lto the grower because it gives

ables him TO act intelhgently in

The department has secured the
services Of well qualified cotton
classers who have had years Of ex-
perience in~the handling and class
ing Of cotton. There is nothing
compulsory about this work. but
it IS purely a service which IS rem
dered upon. request and for which
small fee is charged. This fee IS
necessary in order TO reimburse the
state for the expenses incurred.
The service will be inaugurated
September and any parties desir-
ing to have their, cotton classed in

call upon these offices advising
Of the gin at which the cotton is

A MODEL MONARCH

Reports that the former Kaiser of Germany has
gone to sea on German liner have been refuted by wit
nesses at Doorn who say that Wilhelm is still occupy
ing his Dutch castle there and practcing daily wood
saving which has made him the most famous Of royal
sawyers.
1t is reassurng news not only regards the peace
of the world which Wilhelm greatly disturbed but
because of its moral application Wilhelm last has
become a model emperor. He is useful to the
world, and possibly to himself saving wood in that
castle yard, than he when he ruled Germany
and aspred to rule the world. At Doom he is
arch of all he as he was at Potsdam but much
more reasonable.
His example is commended to other monarehs in
cluding who try TO disguise monarchlal power
under democratic names. In fact, saying nothing and
saving wood IS an ideal occupation for this whole pre-
1ent-day world And there is still plenty of wood for
those willing to practice II.

Efforts of fusionists at the, Demo

An voters, regardless of party af-
filiation, will be invited to support
the ticket, it was agreed, and the
La Toilette group must shift for
themselves.
The action came in the form of
adoption .of the resolution offered
by Judge Fogg of Grangevile en-

had never been a question of fusion
and that if the La Toilette Inde-
pendents want to get ON the Demo-
