An Enjoys Advice

"A AMBASSADOR MATSUDAIRA, Japan's
iA new envoy-to the United States, pleads
with the press to help bring about better
understanding between the two countries
Nothing would do more good, he rightly
observes, than newspapers publishing the hon

Just as he was giving ns bl most excel

SOCIAL SIDE
OF EDUCATION

ITJRRAY A. DALMAry, direc-
IM tor of reference and re-
Ill search in the Indianapolis
schools, in talk to the interracial
committee of the Council of So
cial Agencies the other night, de-
clared that book learning isn't the
only product Of schools.
about so per cent OF education
in schools is academic; the remain
der Is social" he said. "A stu
dent denied participation in the
social side is denied half his edu-
cation"
Perhaps that's putting It pretty
strong. Many conservative souls
viii disagree with him. To them
the only object of school is to
store pupils minds with dry end
mummifled facts, and any disturb
ance Of that examining process is
detrimental.
But education Is more than book
learning-it is preparation for life.
A pupil may. finish school able to

years. W
Man is a gregarious animal with
highly developed social instincts.
After leaving school pupils live IN
a world OF human beings, not
textbooks. Social contacts and non
r. n.
are training human relations-part
Of the education for life.
However, some pupils run the
social side to death. They think
schools exist entirely for non
classroom activities and class
rooms are nuisances imposed upon
them by old-fogy taxpayers. They
mistake the Side-show for the main
circus.

NO MEAN POLITICS
7. Banditry and Politics in the Police
Department

~TT1RIME is on the increase in Indianapolis.
III This is an unpleasant statement, but it
is nevertheless true. More burglaries and rob-
berries and other crimes Of violence are being
committed than at almost any time in the his
tory Of the city. The burglar and the bandit
are going about plying their trade pretty much
as they please.
And the answer is-politics.
A police department efficiently operated
can combat crime. This has been demon
strated in indianapolis as well as in other cities
This is no reflection Oh the individual po-
liceman. The Indianapolis policeman is no
worse and probably considerably better than
the policemen of other cities.
But police operation can not be efficient
SO long as it is necessary for policemen to
spend most Of their time trying to be right po-
litically. A police officer is supposed to be
employed to direct police activities, to direct
the pursuit and prosecution of burglars, ban
: dts and all other law violators. But he can
not,do this and play politics at the same time.
9n So long as the city administration insists
that he play politics he can not be blamed very
much for doing just that. His job depends
on it,
(N1OT long ago there was general shake-up
LlN among the higher-ups in the police de-
partment. Mayor Shank frankly stated that
police officers, were reduced because they were
not right politically. Efficiency apparently
hal nothing to do with the change.
That the indianapolis police department
can enforce the law is beyond question. AL
chat is necessary is for Mayor, Shank and the
heads Of the department to devote their at
tention to law enforcement instead of to fur
thering the interest of certain political fac
ton.
Mayor Shank has demonstrated his ability
TO handle people. He has personality and he
Is well acquainted with the various traits of
human nature If he should set his mind on
law enforcement instead Of on politics Indian

scenes. Old Rome had to be re-
created. A splendid Job was done.
From standpoint of movie enter

list. Quo Vadis" is a famous story
and it's present film version has
caught the magnetic spirit OF the

Nero has been a. favorite
character with actors. especially the
film star, as 1t gives an actor a
great chance. Where Jannings is
convincing is that he is able to read
into the character OF Nero a dash
OF comedy, especially the scenes in
which he thinks that he is being
flattered by Petronius. a scholarly
cheat who fiattered Nero for favors
and then finally wrote a poem
calling Nero by his right name.
