WHERE OUR SCHOOLS FAIL

Thoughtful educators have been studying the problem of how better to adapt our school system to the practical needs of the new genera tion of citizens. It is evident to any unprejudiced observer that much of the effort expended in present day education is illogical and futile.
 Much that is taught in the public schools is of value only as means toward securing a teachers certifi- cate-to teach others to secure a teachers certificate, and so on.
 The average high school graduate is about as helpless an individual, so far as earning a living is con- cerned, as could we'll be imagined. Few of them are able to spell, pune tuate, capitalize or construct gram matical sentence in English, and thru they may have smattering of Latin, French or Spanish, they are unable to pronounce correctly many of the most common English words. Their vocabularies are so limited as to be pitiful.
 Thus after twelve years of school work they have very limited know ledge of their mother tongue, which they must use every day and hour of their lives.
 In every other subject of practi- cal use they are equally diffident, having only a superficial acquaintance with numerous textbooks, studied for the sole purpose of earning credits.
 Considering the fact that only a small percentage can hope to go to college or enter the professions, it seems unfair to the rank and file to force them to waste so much time on what Kipling calls futile piffle." Much of the stuff crammed into our school children is just that, being without either cultural or prac- tical value.

BORN DEAD-BEATS

Every person who has conducted q business in which the extending of credit is practiced must be impress ed with the large percentage of peo- pie in the world who appear to be born dead-beats.
 There are those in every commu- nity who make pretensions to busi- ness and social standing, yet were never known to pay a bill when it was due and seldom pay one at all excepting as result of bounding or legal action.
 Morally there is no difference be- tween one who fails to pay an hon. est debt when he can pay it and one who robs a till or cracks a safe In fact, if there be any decency in either it appears to be on the side of the common criminal, who at least does not abuse confidence and friendship.
 Credit bureaus are gradually mak- ing the path of the dead-beat little more thorny, but he still flourishes to an extent that is a serious handi- cap to honest citizens.

At last the time-honored (and equally time-worn) ban on advertis- ing by doctors has been cautiously lifted in a small measure by the Texas Medical Association, which now approves the publication of edu- cational matter advising against false cures, quacks and the like, as paid advertising; also the names Of Association members, so that regu- lar practitioners may be identified by the public.

A twelve-hour day has here tofore been maintained by the oil industry since it's inception. A rela- lively higher wage, satisfactory to employees, was put into effect along with the reduction in hours, where by those who formerly received SIP for 12 hours now receive $10 for eight hours.

GRAPEFRUIT MEN
CLOSE SPLENDID
YEARS ACTIVITY

/ The Imperial Valley grapefruit
growers are closing a most success
full season and are highly pleased
with the result of their year 5
work.
The American Fruit Growers as.
sociation handled the distribution
and it was found that this arrange.
ment is much more satisfactory than
independent distribution. Plans are
now underfoot for the expansion
and enlargement of the association
that win be commensurate with the
growth of the industry. One of
their most ambitious projects will
be 10 place Imperial Valley grape
fruit in the dining salons OF the
Pacific steamship lines. This will
be big boost for the valley fruit
and no doubt the plan will material
ize. owing to the widely known SUI
perior quality of our fruit.
Many inquiries come in to this
organization from distributing and
Wholesale organizations who eater
to select trade extending as far as
Edmondton, Canada, and distant
points in the northwest.
Some of the grapefruit was con-
Sidcrably damaged by the frost dur
ing the winter, but the horticultural
experts arc finding means of pro
tccting the orchards TO a large eX-
tent and overcoming problems of
soil and irrigation which confront
the fruit grower, as is expected in
new and untried industries of this
character.
According TO J. S. Cameron, see
re;ary of the fruit growers associ-
alton, much regret is expressed by
local fruit men at the transference
of Ray Ellis, assistant farm ad-
visor, to another post. The men
feel that Mr.. Ellis has been untiring
in his efforts in overcoming various
problems of this new development
and a failure to appoint a successor
will bc serious handicap to the
industry, Mr.. Cameron
believes.
