preparedness which he made part
of his address.
Adequate armament" certainly
means little or nothing. It can be
literally interpreted to suit either the
pacifist or the militarist. The Presi-
dent expressed the opinion of the ma
tion in declaring that this country
does not wish to be in the forefront
in arming for war But in view of
the unsettled condition in which the
congressional investigators left the
aircraft probe. the President might
have been more definite in outlining
what he considers adequate prepara-
tion.
Insofar as the probe by Congress
went, it clearly indicated that there
is jealousy and petty prejudice in the
high offices of both the army and the
navy. Supposed to be experts, they
can not agree on definite questions
concerning the part which aviation
must play in a future war.
Do they expect the American pub
lie to believe that capital ships are
safe from air attack? Too many of
the people know tlat Great Britain
is today miles ahead of this country
in it's construction of large aircraft
carriers. And when Great Britain
makes a mistake in naval strategy,
that day will be a red letter one in
the history of the world. French pre-
paredness heavily stresses aircraft
equipment on a scale never before
contemplated. Japan is building
planes, training fiers. And the Amer
lean aviation corps, consisting of
twelve planes, Ensembles at Macon,
Georgia"
These same army officers that have
withdrawn support from General
Mitchell in his comment, are the ones
that are continually urging this train
the youth of America" program. With
out adequate air protection American
manhood would be merely huddled un-
der death from the skies. That may
be good military strategy but it is
hardly common sense.
If President Coolidge proposes to
give the nation adequate armament,
he might first make a clean sweep of
those high officers in the army that
made farce of Americas part in the
air during the World War. 1t may be
stated as a general assertion that this
country is far from satisfied with the
present conduct of it's military affairs.

THE STRANGERS NEW YORK

When the visitor remarks of New
York, "It is all right for little while,
but ! would hate to live here" it may
surprise him to know that this classic
comment on the New York he is think.
ing of strikes no more responsive
chord than in the heart of the New
Yorker himself
The great transient center of hotels
and theatres where our out-of-town
guests establish themselves is almost
as strange and fully as bewildering
a district to the resident as it is to
the tourist With the immense ex-
pansion and rapid changes of this
center in recent years, few New York
ers even pretend to know the location
of the newer hotels, theatres and res
taurants. Like the visitors. they ven
ture into it distrustfully when occa-
sion demands and confide themselves
to the presumably larger knowledge
of taxi drivers.
We are all strangers and visitors to
the big, central. perpetual World s
Fair of New York. OF course, the
native has the advantage of knowing
some landmarks, but year by year old
landmarks are being swept away, and
the New Yorker is frequently the
more astray because of his too great
reliance on them.
In truth, if our experience is not
unusual, we would even conclude that
it is the visitor to the city who knows
more about our transient center than
the resident. 1t is he very often,
rather than his New York friend, who
is informed that certain theatre is
west of Broadway or that an old res
taurant has closed it's doors. Being
stranger he has felt the need to
know.
But as a stranger he escapes back
home from the unsympathetic purlieus
of this New York no more thankfully,
we guess than does the New Yorker
winning safe home to Washington
Heights or Morningside drive, or even
to the West Eighties. For, incredible
as it generally seems to visitors, most
New Workers have home life and a
neighborhood, the latter not marked
off physically very clearly in the vast
areas of brick and stone, but spiritual
ly speaking pretty we'll defined by
settled living, familiar aspects and
friendly contacts.
Larger and core crowded than any
other is New York's transient center,
but, after ALL not essentially different
in its commercialized, impersonal
character from the transient center OF
the smallest town. And no place SO
small, it should be borne in mind, but
that some visitor, limited to it's tran
sient resources, murmurs out of his
nostalgia; "It is all right for little
while. but | would hate to live here. =

At that stage of life couples who
have been wed long enough celebrate

But this is not their first experience.

EDUCATION BY WHOLESALE

Once the college commencement"
took place in the college chapel. The
faculty occupied the front seats on the
stage, and the graduates sat in a row
behind.
Fond parents and the society of the
college town filled the hall. Each
graduate delivered an "oration" on
why Rome fell, the future of the re-
public, or something else to show his
culture.
The diplomas were distributed and
upon the campus under the trees. 1t
was great day, for the privileged
few to whom alone college meant any
thing.
Compare the announcements of this
years commencement of the Univer-
sity of California, the largest univer-
sity in America. and, for climatic rea-
sons, the first each year to hold its
graduation exercises. The exercises
will be held in the stadium, a huge
arena larger than the Roman Coliseum.
Only one end of the structure will
be used, but in that the 10000 specta-
tors will sit. From stage in the
middle, the speeches will be delivered,
not, of course, by the graduates. Am
plifiers will make even the weakest
voice audible to the entire multitude,
and the radio will carry the speeches,
by remote control, to anyone else with
in two or three thousand miles who
cares to hear.
Then the 1000 graduates will be
marched up, in regiments and platoons,
and their diplomas delivered by a
marvellous efficiency system. 1t is a
great day, enormously greater than
those insignificant little meetings of
old.
But is it? A brilliant professor de-
scribing one of his own classes, in
which he lectured to 1,500 students at
once, and the only reason he did not
have 5000 the room would not hold
them, said: 1.-The whole performance
reminds me of nothing so much as the
shredded wheat factory, where they
run train load of wheat into one end
and it comes out train load of packed
shredded wheat biscuits at the other,
and the sign says that in the interval
it has not been touched by human
hands. That is a very good way to
make shredded wheat but a very bad
way to educate people"
1t is better to educate people whole
sale than to confine the privilege to
few. But it is wholesale.

dent Coolidge knows their truth as
we'll as any man. And he knows their
value to him if they are kept under
cover. He can make a whale of an
impression cutting down the Federal
income tax, and why shouldn't he?
We have ample surplus on which to
cut it. But what he speaks in jan
uary about trusts he has forgotten it
in June. Not much. President Cool
idge knows the country's needs, but
he knows the value of a political que
better. AS the ranking politician of
the age, Mr.. Coolidge is giant among
pigmies and he hides behind his par

force behind his administration and

Keeping up the long established
custom of holding a safe and sane
July 4, Palisade is again at the
agreeable task of giving the children

in providing for them a day that Will

make them think. A program has
been arranged with certain new fea-
lures that will make the Birth OF
Liberty more and more appreciated.
The morning parade will be larger
and better, and the exercises at the
school will be all that could be de-
sired and more. The list of speakers
is not long, and the speeches will be
short-just a bit of patriotism from
different angles. Then at night the
fireworks at which great throng is
expected in appreciation of Yurillo's
wonderful imagery and skill in pro-
jecting his pyrotechnic display Give
the children a glad hand and come

MORAL ARMOR

DR.. Winifred Stoner of New York
Goose is one of the most immoral OF
writer's.
Tom, the Piper's Son, is a thief;
Old King Cole drinks. Not only does
Taffy steal beef but the slanderous
poem voices the calumny that all
Welshmen do likewise. And SO on.
OF course! The same thing may be
said of the children's literature of all
ages, and of the adult literature of the
childish ages.
Grimm's fairy tales teach murder
theft and cheating.
Alice in Wonderland is full of
slaughter and crime.
The Katzenjammer Kids are not
only wicked but dangerous. They
teach children that if they blow up
teacher with gunpowder she will
come down safely through the roof.
Or, coming to the greater mytholo-
gies, Homer teaches that it is honor
able to kill and rob our enemies and
to ravish their wives.
The great northern epics are worse
Siegfried is born of incest and prac.
tices highway robbery, as the only
occupation worthy of a gentleman
and demigod.
The interesting thing is that these
outrageous immoralities are morally
quite harmless. The imagination OF
childhood and of the childish ages
is a self-protecting armor.
1t is not the wholesome riot OF
primitive immortality, but the morbid
decadence of modern sophistication
that does the real harm.
