Now that the unlamented Scopes
case is momentarily behind us, We
may we'll turn our attention to an
other form Of compulsory orthodoxy
which is more dangerous, because
more plausible.
This is the attempt of the 200 per
cent patriots to prevent any critical
analysis Of the problems Of Ameri-
can government.
Just as the Fundamentalists pre-
tend that they are trying to prohibit
teaching that the Bible is lie
so the super-patriots pretend that
they are trying to stop Communist
attacks on the Constitution"
Of course no teacher. in his right
mind was ever guilty of either Of
these absurdities. But every intelli-
gent modern teacher does hold views
which the ignorant are likely so to
interpret.
SO there are proposed inquisitions
to forbid instructors in high schools
from teaching what they learned in
college.
Thus General Fries, in speech
appropriately delivered to the Old
est Inhabitants Association, said,
1--WE have a right to demand of the
teachers hired by our money that
they shall not teach our children
that the government for which our
patriots fought and died is a foul
thing" 49,.
Of course!--if there were any such
teachers outside the lunatic asylum.
But the teachers at whom General
Fries was hitting are no more doing
that than Scopes was teaching that
"the Bible is lie."
What they are doing is to prepare

the new generation for its task Of
making American government bet
ter. And that is exactly what the
Oldest Inhabitants Association must
not be empowered to obstruct.
II the Oldest Inhabitants wish to
cherish the amiable delusion that
the world was finished and perfect
when they got through with it. that
is the privilege Of senility. II is the
right Of youth to know better.
Autos Have Set a New Standard OF
Morals
The automobile has set new
standard of morals. 1t has made
everybody register, and carry his
Identification number conspicuously
visible. for the express purpose of
acce ptng responsibility for his own
conduct
Instead of the old privilege of flee
ing from the scene of his misdeeds
and of refusing to be witness
against himself. the motorist must
stay at the scene Of the injury, re-
port his identity and give himself
up; otherwise he is that worst of
miscreants, the "hit-and-run' driver.
He must show consideration for
the rights Of others, or the roads
will become impossible. And. final
~. he is held to new standard Of
sobriety.
Scientific tests indicate that one
who has had one drink within e""r
hours ought not to drive. Certainly,
he is not "intoxicated' by any otnct
standard.
In other words. the conduct be-
coming gentleman" which is
merely desirable for other people. is
obligatory on the motorist.

Stealing

It's nice 10 motor through the country these warm
days. to drive down pleasant roads between orchards
of ripe apples or vineyards where the grapes are
turning purple and appetizing
Sometimes motorist thinks it's nice. also, to
stop and help himself to some Of this fruit by the
roadside.
Unfortunately, however. this is nothing more or
less than stealing That same motorist wouldn't
dream Of sneakng up to fruit store in the city
nnd carrying of. by stealth an armfu OF fruit: and
that's exactly what he does when he takes the
farmers fruit
It's pity some of us are so thoughtless that this
never occurs to us.

War Menace

nearer menace of war between classes or the

him no weapon. If workers and employers cannot

strikes and lockouts.
So the head OF the governmet Is reduced to do b.

Healing Power of Sunlight

DR.. Walter Ramsey OF st. Paul. in recent issue
of the Great Northern Semaphore, has a very inter
esting article upon the healing power OF sunlight.
DR.. Roller of Leysn, Switzerland. is credited with
pointing out the specific value OF the direct rays
OF the sun in promoting physical development.
Twenty years ago he took his wife to the Alps
some 5000 feet above the level Of the sea where

on the thera peutic value OF the suns rays
