ALL BRANCHES OF
 EDUCATION HEARD
Today's Discussion Includes
 ''Safety to Music" Talks

Chicago, Feb. 27.-Discussion of subjects covering the whole gamut of
 educational problems from safety in-
 struction in schools, to the amount of teaching occupied the group meetings
 of tine National Education association
 department of superintendence today.
 Superintendent William McAndrew
 of Chicago and Superintendent Milton 1 Potter Of Milwaukee have been nom- i mated for president of the depart ment.
 Albert w. Whitney, chairman of the
 education section of the national saf- ety council, told the convention that | 20,000 children of school age are kill cd each year in this country by acci- 1 dent, and 15,O0O persons killed by i automobiles. By proper education, he ! said, that the number of accidental
 fatalities could be greately reduced. In Detroit and St. Louis accidents have been cut in half as result of saf-
 ety education, he said.
 With 35 per cent of school time de- voted to hygiene, physical training, music and the practical and fine arts, there still is room for more of this
 training, regarded by many as an ''ed- ucational fad" John K. Norton, direc- tor of the research division of the National Education association, said,
 He told joint meeting of the Edu- cation Research association and the National Society of College Teachers of Education, that 65 per cent of school time is now spent on funda- mentals.
 Those who criticize the school for time spent in music and fine arts fail to recognize that one of the main ob- iectives of the modern school should be the training for the proper use of leisure time" the speaker declared.
 Our schools are in the milk teeth stage of development" c. E. Cornell, superintendent of Shaker Heights school, Cleveland, declared. "The work of the average child is too soft and lacks the depth of concen- tration which makes for vigorous | character development" hc said.
 Nearly three million boys and girls between the ages of If and IS did | not attend any school in 1920, Mar garet Alltucker, assistant director of the Education association's research division, declared, urging part time education as a solution Of the prob lem caused by the insufficient educn- ton of children.
 A "whlrlwind of social activity car ried on in the name of religion" often f draws the college student away from the more quiet, thoughtful religious expression. Dean kathrine Alvord of DC Pauw university told the eonyen- ton of deans Of women meeting in conjunction with the department Of

BUY NOW CAMP PAIGN
 STARTED BY FORD
Business Outlet So Bright That
 Shortage Of Cars Is Forecast

Important among other indications that the new year will see q vastly increased demand for automobiles is the Buy Now" campaign which has just been launched by the Ford Motor company.
 Particular significance may be at tached to this, coming as it does at the very start Of the year, for no com pany in the industry is better Eitu- ated to sense future conditions in the motor car field nor keep more closely in touch with the temper of the mo- tor buying public.
 Through it's great dealer organiza- ton, approXimating 10000. the com pany is able to obtain very accurate reports covering all parts of the coun- try That the outlook indicates q greater demand than ever during the coming year seems apparent in the action Of inaugurating d Buy Now campaign at this time.
 year ago shortage was seen and the public advised but the demand which developed during the spring and early summer months exceeded all expectations with the result that production failed to meet it and more than 350.000 persons were disappoint- cd in not being able To get Ford cars. Practically all through the year it was necessary to maintain a constantly in ereasing production schedule in order to keep up more closely with the de- mand. Even with that deliveries were extremely slow
 Tn view of the company's eXper- fence last year tine Buy Now" cam paign just starting comes as a warn ing suggestion to the car buyer and reflects a condition which presages m even greater car shortage during the coming spring and summer.
 There has been an unusual demand for Ford cars and trucks so far this winter. In some cases dealers already are compelled to designate later. de- livery dates on certain types of cars.
 In this connection an interesting feature is the already noticeable in- crease in enrollments under the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan. More than 100000 have beeRenrolled, for every where througholif the country people 1 are more and more using the plan as a sure means of arranging car deliv- | cry al the time desired. and as a re- 1 suit there has been noticeable | growth in tho number of enrollments | particularly during the last few 1 months.

TEACHERS UNION
Insist They Be Allowed In
New YOrks' School
Organization

New York,-The Teachers union
affiliated with the A. F. of L., has
submitted to the board of education a
plan for the democratic organization
of public high school in this city
The teachers call attention to the
faulty system of selecting high school
principals There is no agreement
between school officials as to positive
and constructive capacities to be de-
named of these principals, and the
custom has grown up of selecting the
candidate against whom no serious OBJ
lection can be urged, it is stated
GAS a result of this policy of Sc
lecting on the basis of the possession
of negative qualities by candidates, y
the teachers say, ''there have been fire.
'quent failures on the part of our high
schools to build up strong and con-
vincing organizations. Instead of
showing power through growth, some
of our high schools are being conduct
ed as large but insignificant schools
under obscure and ineffective leader
ship. Unhappily, also, in some of our
high schools, a system of petty
tyranny has grown up because of the
opportunity principals have of using
their authority to compel obedience
on the part of teachers.
Owing to the fact that no matter
how erroneous the head of a high
school, it is practically impossible to
rectify the mistake and to dismiss a
principal, and thus to save the school
for significant service to the COM
munity."
To make this democratic organiza-
ton possible, the Teachers union
proposes that the superintendent of
schools be authorized to form a COM
mittee on organization for a high
school. This committee should con-
sist of two members of the board of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES members of the
Teachers union and one citizen who
resides in the district of that high
school.
A committee of teachers should be
elected to draft constitution for gov
erning the school.
The Teachers union states that il
the board of education accepts this
principale, committee of the union
will aid the board in working out
details.

The people continue to pay taxes
on the money that was stolen during
the war They continue to wonder if
man must be a public official to be
able to steal and get away with it.
1t is true, according to the Justice
Department, that few have been fin
ed and sentencd to prison for short
time. But when man who steals
several millions of dollars, is fined
$4,000, is that taking away what he
stole from the people? We are go
ing to be high official, and tell the
enforcers we'll 'whack up with them, "
and thus we'll be able to play golf
and go to Palm Beach and take a
European trip ever four weeks.

PROFITS CONTINUE
All Records For Gains Are
Broken By Tax Reduc-
ton Pleaders

New York,-Recent financial re-
portsindicate the tremendous profits
made by corporations that plead pow
erty in their campaign for tax reduc-
tions.
At the close of last year 21 industr-
ial corporations alone had inventories
of $944, 1896, and combined cash
and investment securities of $500, ,065.-
293. The cash epualled more than S5
per cent of inventories.
Stripped of it's financial lingo, this
means that these 21 corporations had
raw material and finished products
valued at $944, 087 1896, and for every
dollars worth of this material they
had 85 cents in cash or it's equivalent,
The value of these inventories in
creased $133,000,000 over the previous
year Never before has such a con-
dition existed.
Only recently the secretary of the
treasury stated that more than ST.
328, 100000 in stock dividends were
issued in 1922 This means that in
crease values and profits in excess of
normal, amounting to more than ST.
328 100000, was put back in the busi-
mes and stock issued against it.

Senator Jones of New Mexico has
stated that the actuary of the treas.
ury told him that for the year 1898
profits of corporations will probably
amount to more than $8,500,000, 900
"if not as much as $9,000,000,0 ,000"
This profit is $4,000, 100000 NOR,
than in 1921, and is more than one
third the total amount of all Liberty
bonds bought by the people.

DROP MASK
Canadian REDS" Would Di.
rect Strike

Toronto, Ontario,-Communists Of
Canada have dropped their mask, and
will no longer be known as the Work
ers' party of Canada. This title will
be replaced by the new name-Com-
munist party. This action was taken
at their annual convention, held in this
city.
The secretary of the communist in
ternational, Moscow, requests officials
of the party to Communicate with US
more regularly, SO that we can follow
the activities of the party more
closely"
Moscow also informs their Canadian
comrades that the recent strike of
Nova Scotia miners was not properly
initiated or skillfully conducted. This
strike was opposed by the United
Mines Workers of America, and presi-
|dent Lewis of that organization was
roundly denounced when the Nova
Scotia charter was annulled because of
that illegal strike.
AS proof that Moscow would direct
the trade union movement of North
America, Moscow Suggests" to Can
adian communists that in the Nova
Scotia strike "you should have at
tempted to work up sentiment for a
one-day's generals strike" The com
munists of Canada seem to have
ample funds. Their receipts for the
year approximated $4,000. They
have a surplus of $2,500

there comes the question: care those

Some time since the Kaleidoscope
stated that somebody would be forced
to pay. In fact, of what use is ten
dollar or five hundred dollar receiv-
ing set unless there is something in
the air? Why, of course, the radio
bug will pay and here is the official
button he will wear, or rather the
lettereng on it: "WE PAY" You
will notice that there is a "W" in the
station and that will make it "of-
