Syracuse last week, and letter
from Nathan c. Shiverick, presi.
dent Of the association.
The resolutions quote from Presi.
dent Coolidge's message to Con.
gross and point out that certain
elements are trying to do away
with the defense program and even
the War Department itself.
The resolutions request that the
coming Congress be urged to realize,
that q people who neglect their
national defense are disloyaI to the
constitution and are putting in
jeopardy their national honor"
The resolutions continuing de-
clare that It IL the duty Of the
present generation to make sure
that coming generations shall not
be called upon through weakness to
endure the hardships, suffering,
and loss Of a life which war entails
and that adequate defense prepare
tons are the greatest preventive
Of future wars.
Major Penfield asked Chairman
Warren to include provisions Of this
character in the platform to be
submitted to the convention.

Did you know that as a general thing the latter
part Of the year, especially during Christmas week,
is the most aborous and trying time Of the year?
The books Of all banks close on December ; St
before which time it is necessary to have all notes
of the bank renewed and put IN proper condition.
Bank officials are human like anyone else and
look forward to the holiday season with the ex-
pectation of being able to some extent to relax
from the high tension under which they usually
work and receive some p easume out Of the holl-

We urge the general public who have any bank
paper past due or maturing before December ID
to use their best endeavors to have the same re-

the bankers Of the county may enjoy the holiday

states is not new one, in kind. The
authors and advocates of this meas
rre have sought to take advantage q
the need for funds in many of the states
1t not in all of them. for the maintenance
and development OF educational facilities
An offer of financial aid from the fed
eral government is expected to appeal
strongly-to be neutrality-suspicious.
to states that have been worrying
along" on inadequate funds. What more
magnanimous than a "fifty-fifty' prop
osition from the federal government
the state to put up so much. and the
federal government to match" that
amount?
Sc far. so good. But-and here the
danger appears-the states would have
to surrender to the federal government
a large measure of what might be called
philosophical control over their cduca-
tional enterprises. There would be a
secretary of education in the Presidents
cabinet In the administrative sense he
would be a dictator; he would have the
say-so as to the requirements the schools
would have to meet before they could
participate in the financial benefits of the
fifty fifty" pooling of federal and state
funds.
1t is easily conceivable that the minds
of the nations youth might be nodded
or at least bent" from time to time,
TO serve the ultimate interests of those
in control of the national System of
education. The schools might easily he
come hotbeds of Interior propaganda.
And most likely the respective particular
educational needs of the various parts
of the country would be ignored.
There would, of course be more and
larger and better equipped school build
ings III states that were parties to this
scheme. But physical facilities consti-
tutc the least vitality important factor in
true education. Yet the natural rivalry
between states. their sense of pride.
would operate to cause them to sacrifice
the intellectual to the physical. And
human nature is such that schools max
ing the greatest SHOW" in the form Of
buildings and other physical facilities,
would receive the greatest patronage
from the public.
But genuine educators. men who know
the true meaning and value of education.
