THE SPREAD IN EDUCATION

The urge for education in this country has grown to such
proportions that educational institutions are being taxed to their
utmost to house the million clamoring for admission.
This year New York City has enrolled, for the first time
II Its history, more than a million children in it's public school
classes. Chicago has to its credit more than half a million. So
1T goes throughout the country. This is the contribution which
our public schools are making to the nation. 1t is the country's
investment in its future.
The broad diffusion of education brings into conspicuous
view che force of the dominating idea of the nation-equality
OF opportunity. Education is not confined to white collars
Scholastic training penetrates farm, factory and workshop
Hundreds of thousands are subjected to its influence in night
courses and, at home, by radio. 1t makes education-as is
proper in a nation founded on ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
This spread of learning calls for an equalization in our social
fications can hardly survive the present leveling influence of
bank president tomorrow; where a shop mechanic lifts himself
to motor magnate; where the selfmade rise suddenly from OBJ
security to eminence, there is needed a new social recognition for
all honorable occupations. Educational tendencies must not be
controlled by but must control that social standing.
Education is the great leveer. 1t is breaking down the bar
riers between those who toll by hand and those who labor by
brain; it is tearing down the wall that separates the socially
elect from those of humble origin. Step bp step this country
is moving in the evolution of a new measure for social value
worth rather than wealth-where, if there be any arstocracy
at all, it will be an aristocracy of brains. 1t is tending more and
more to become the worlds true index of value: For in every oc
cupation men and women are measured by their works, and the
quality of their work is in the main affected by the knowledge
and training education bestows.
"The ColonePs Lady and Judy O'Grady" may be Sisters I'M
der the skin" but education brings the equality to a visible sur
face.

TOO MANY LAWS

The courts and police officials have been loaded down with
too much work by the multiplicity of laws according to the
by the National Republic, which says:
Attorney General Arthur L. GIliom, of Indiana has nut
his finger on one of the chief sources of lawlessness when he
declares that by multiplying laws regulating conduct we have
loaded down the courts and police authorities with more work
than it is possible for them to do. So many acts have been
made wrong by legislative fiat, which heretofore were unknown
or legal. that the work of our police forces has been multiplied
to the point where it is impossible to give sufficient attention
to detecting and furnishing the more serious crimes. Mr.. Ginom
says: This is a condition which has come about as the result
OF the ever increasing tendency to regulate almost everyone and
everything by setting up moral standards and arbitrary concep-
lions oil conduct and by attempting to compel obedience thereto
by means of our police forces and other enforcement offices.
Ii this tendency continues, l fear that it will ultimately lead to
a condition OF poorly protected people against real crime On the
one hand, and a terrifying enforcement of tyrannous laws which
invade the sphere of private conduct onthe other. To me it
seems plain that we must keep such police forces as our people
are willing to sustain, sufficiently free to permit them to cope
with those who are the real criminals, and we must stop de
handing their protection primarily for a vague public instead of
the interests of the public"

vide silver for subsidiary coinage
(half dollars, quarters and dimes)
for commercial use: to assist foreign
governments at war with the enemies
OF the United States: and for the
above purposes to stabilize the price
and encourage the production of sill
yer.
This plan became law as the Pitt
man act approved by President Will
son. April is, 1918.
The clauses to assist foreign gov
eruments and to stabilize the price
and encourage the production of sill
YER were Of commanding Importance;
the latter proceeded to the rescue of
the American silver mining industry
and was an astute complement of the
former clause.
The act authorized the Secretary
OF the Treasury TO break up or melt
and sell as bullion not more than
$50, 100000 standard silver dollars in
the Treasury and simultaneously re-
tire the corresponding value in silver
certificates (greenbacks); the bullion
to be sold at not less than 81 per
ounce of the miut-reffned silver COM
posing it; the Secretary of the Treas
ury thereupon TO purchase at 81 an
ounce a sponding weight Of sill
Yer mined and smelted in the United
States.
The English government at once
awaited itself of this opportunity TO
buy silver dollars and made with
Washington a contract for 10000
900 worth at 81 an ounce silver. AS
a result of these transactions the sill
yer market rose rapidly and steadily
to the high point of s1.3S25 per ounce,
reached November %. 1919. Thus the
English were not only enabled to
meet their redemption crisis, but also
made a handsome profit on the mar
ket.
1T was well known at the time this
sale OF silver dollars was made that
the silver product from our mines
would not be available for purchase
by the Government to coin the re-
quired replacement dollars at least
until the close of the war. and for a
longer period, If the price of silver
remained above 81 an ounce: for the
mines would sell to the highest mar
ket OF course, and the act permitted
Washington to pay not more than 81.
Operation of the act reduced the
stock OF money in the United States
temporarily, but it also prevented
contraction of the currency by per-
mitting the Federal Reserve banks to
issue Federal Reserve Bank notes in
any denominations Gncluding 81 and
SZ) as they should be authorized by
the Federal Reserve Board, not to
exceed in total amount the amount
OF silver dollars sold in bullion; and
to secure these bank notes the Fed
eral Reserve banks were permitted to
deposit in the Treasury, United States
certificates of Indebtedness or United
states one-year gold notes. The Fed
eral Reserve Bank notes thus issued
into circulation were to be retired
when standard silver dollars should
be coined out of bullion purchased
from our mines under the act.
I'm May, 1920, the director of the
mint began to buy such bullion and
replace the 270,o00,000 silver dollars
sold to England"
