HERE'S sWING,S RECORD

Critics of Congressman Phil D. Swing have taken
great delight IN recent attacks of accusing the
gressman of devoting much of his efforts to the
SwingJ ohnson bill that the of his district did not
receive the consideration to which it was entitled
The answer to this criticism is contained in the
fact that Mayor John l.. Bacon of San Diego and other
prominent in the civic live of that community
have come out unqualifiedy for Swings reelection
Their attitude in the matter is based wholly and sole
y upon the record of Swings achievements for gov
ernment aid in developing San Diego as naval base
the big goal toward which San Diegans are direct
ing all their efforts Surely the fact that five million
dollars have been appropriated for permanent
stTuctlon work at San Diego by Uncle Sam shows that
Swing has worked effectualy and persstently for
San Diego county, as member of the Naval Affairs
Committee.
record of Swings regime in Congress with spe-
cia reference to legislation affecting northern
ties shows long list of interesting and worthwhile
measures for which Swing alone was responsible or
which he succeeded, with other members of the Cali
fornia delegation, in getting action and results.
careful perusal of these items, dating back to
1921, will emphasize the allimportant fact that Swing
is of the hardest workers this district has
back to the capital. Not only that-but he has
gotten beneficial results in one way or another, af
fectng every of every county embraced the
eleventh district.

Having no children of their own, Mir. and Mrs. Moberly greatly en. joyed her companionship for despite her various attainments in the world of art and literature she still had the delight full youthfulness of spirit that is so sel. dom retained when success or sorrow enters ones life.
 One Thursday afternoon as Mrs Moberly was cutting roses in her garden her husband suddenly appeared in the rose arbor. Well, dear" he exclaimed as she hastened towards him, "have you brought Joan with you?"
 No, my love-" he answered as he greeted her affectionately, but I have a letter you'll enjoy reading. Come and sit down. he said as he took the bas- ket of roses from her and placed it in the shade of spreading maple tree.
 "1s she coming later, then?'' asked Mrs. Moberly, as she seated herself on rustic bench beside her husband.
 Now, you're just as curious as ever, old lAy," he leased as he slowly put his hand in an inside pocket and brought forth loans letter.
 "Oh, John, why do you keep me wait ing so long? Can't you tell me what she says: asked his wife as she held out her hand for the letter. q want you to read it and tell me what your conclusions are," he said ;n mock judi cial tones as he handed her the missive.

 This time he heard sound, a very tiny sound. At least he thought he heard it. And still he couldn't believe he heard it, either. You see that sound sir, that sound had been very like a chuchle. And if it was a chuckle it most certainly was very like the voice Coyote stared suspiciously at the pile of brush. or what was left of it. It must be that he hadn't heard alright. Danny Meadow Mouse certainly would not be chuckling. More likely he would be crying. He must know that he hadn't chance in the world to escape. Old Man Coyotes eyes snapped. He would show that Meadow Mouse that there was nothing to laugh about. That is. that there was nothing for him to laugh at. All the laughing would be done later, and he, Old Man Coyote, would do that. So he fell to work again with all his might and the sticks flew this way and flew that way.
 By this time Old Man Coyote had reached what had been the very center of the pile of brush, the place where he had expected to find Danny Meadow Mouse. It must be that Danny had crawled under what was left. So he went right on tearing at the sticks and scattering them in all directions. every second expecting to see Danny Meadow Mouse. Working his head under, Old Man Coyote gave a mighty toss, and the very last pile of brush flew into the air. Then Old Man Coyote. stared about him with the most foolish look on his face. Danny Meadow Mouse was nowhere to be seen! There wasn't a single stick big enough for him to hide under and yet he was nowhere in sight. Old Man Coyote gasped and rubbed his eyes.

LATIN HOLDS IT'S OWN.
0ne-Fourth Of Secondary School Stu
 dents Study the Language


 The American Classical league made suits of a Swear investigation of the teaching of the classics in America. The inquiry has been financed by the gen. eral education board founded by John D. Rockefeller, which appropriated $125,000 for the work.
 There are 94O,OOO students studying Latin in the secondary schools, and Il, ,00O etudying Greek, according to the recent installment of the report by Dean Andrew W. West of Princeton, presi- dent of the cent of the total enrolment of pupils in all secondary schools.
 "The enrolment in Greek is only 11,O00, but shows some signs of in- crease" the report says. "In the public high schools nearly one-half of the Latin enrolment is in the ninth grade or below, while only one-fifteenth is in the twelfth grade. About one-half of this decrease is due to the corresponding decrease in total enrolment.
 About S3 per cent of the 20,5O0 sec ondary schools of the country offer in- struction in one or more foreign lan- guages. Of this number 94 per cent of fer Latin, a slightly larger percentage than in the case of all other foreign languages combined.
 "The number 3ffreing four years of Latin is more than dobule the number offering three years of French, four years being the ordinary maximum time given to Latin and three years the ordinary maximum time given to French.
 There are approximately 22,500 teachers of Latin in the secondary schools of the country. The Latin en- rollment in the colleges of the country in 1923-24 was approximately forty thousand, and the Greek enrolment sbout sixteen thousand. There are many signs in the colleges of an increasing interest in both Latin and Gree.

Children And Corporal Punishment

Children And Corporal Punishment A CERTAIN principal in a certain A school has aired his reactionary
 ideas on the subject of corporal punishment.
 A mother complained because her child was whipped with piece of rub Der hose. Several members of the board of educa tion took up the complaint and the controversy began. The prin- cipal, and a number of teachers threat ened to resign if they were not allowed to use the rubber hose to discipline the children. They complained that it was impossible for them to maintain order and discipline without the use of the hose.
 Finally, the matter has been adjusted by a compromise. The rubber hose re- mains in the school, but 1t may be used only on children whose parents given written or verbal permission for its use. Parents who will not allow their children to be whipped at school must punish them at home and guarantee the childs good behavior.
 It would be interesting to know how many parents will give permission for their children to be whipped. To give such permission; would argue first, that the parents were unable to control their own child on simple rational basis and a second, that they had the utmost possible confidence in the justice and judgment of the teacher.
 Personally, I should have very little confidence in a teacher who confessed that he or she was unable to manage or control children without whipping them. I should be quite sure that such teach CT understood little of children or had character or personality that was un- able to command their respect.
 We have outgrown the time when we thought that the proper training of children rested on force. We know now that reason, logic, common sense and affection are {, all methods that should be tried before force is ever thought of.
 There may be sub-moral or vicious children to whom force is the only pos sible way to appeal, just as there are certain criminals who may be amenable to nothing else. But to seriously re- gard corporal punishment as a neces- sary step in the educa tion of children is-well, it is simply archaic.
