THE BELGIAN DEBT

Belgium is making preparations to negotiate and
settle her American debt but she feels rather bit
ter about it. Belgian newspapers are criticsing this
country for trying to collect debt which the Bel
gians expected to be charged to Germany under the
Versailles treaty" For which Americans can hardly
blame them. The Nation Beige says:
ITO recognze-because one is little and poor and
because needs money-a debt that the creditors
contracted to cancel and to collect from third party
Germany is to become a vassa."
If there is any special favor to be shown any for
eign debtor the average American would prefer that
it be shown to Belgium.
Germany, of course, ought to have paid that debt
And come to think of it, what has Germany paid US
yet of the absurdly small damages assessed against
her by this country?

YLtLG4RIANG THE PARKS

The automobile, according to Stephen T. Mather
director of the National Park Service, is symbol of
the jazz age He is referring especially to the auto
mobile as used by camping tourists. He more
about the parks than he does about the motorists He
doesn't mind heir using the parks, and is cheerfuy
engaged In making the parks accessible and SER
Vlceable to the campers; but he sounds warning.
If genuine park lovers do not resist the tendency
he says, the touring automobile will bring in its train
gas stations hot dog stands and dance pavons along
with the general clutter only too familiar now and
destroy the beauty of the public parks The greatest
menace to the parks is "vulgarzing."
The motor camp at best is unattractive,' he re-
MARKS and at It's worst 1t is horrible. This is judg
ment IN which many campers will concur.
AS to the extent of 'popularizng" the parks Mr.
Mather says:
We should not be carried away by the popular
demand for recreation, should we attempt land
scaplng or reconstruction. If people do not care
enough for natural beauty to leave their cars and climb
aoot INTO the hills let EN- drive to the next cabaret
and leave the parks for those who do"

Bus TechnicaIities

I-7HE controversy before the public service
commission between the motor bus IN
terests and the Indianapolis Street Railway
Company seems at this stage to be not one OF
necessity or convenience of either form OF
travel, but one of legal technicalities.
The car company insists that the Peoples
Motor Coach Company has not been operating
legally because it has been discouraging the
use of it's buses by negroes. Without consld-
ering the right or wrong of the attitude OF the
bus company, this seems mighty thin argu-
ment.
The question involved is that of whether
motor buses should be allowed to operate on
the streets of indianapolis or whether the In
dianapolis Street Railway Company shall have
monopoly on the transportation business
here
Competition is the only answer from the
viewpoint of the public. With free and open
competition, the final outcome will inevitably
be decided by public preference

T7NDREW FURUSETH, "Abe Lincoln of
~ the Sea, soon will be off to Europe on
his biggest job. He hopes to do for seamen
of other countries what he has done for Amer
lean seamen.
America Of all lands, thanks to Furuseth,
treats her sailors like free men, The purpose
of the seamen's act of 1915 was to permit
sailor the right every landsman has, that is to
leave his ship and master if he is dissatisfied
with the job The rest of the nations persist
in the slave clause which makes a sailor leav-
ing his ship in safe harbor a deserter and
felon Furuseth is setting out to Holland, Den
mark, Sweden, Norway, Germany France and
England to persuade these nations to write
new international statute in line with the
twentieth century and to include in it the

the trade of the world will go to the Orient, -
says Furuseth The Occidental will not much
longer sell himself to master and ship-owner.
When the young man desiring to go to sea
realizes that to do so he must sacrifice all the
rights he has on land he will refuse to go. The
tools of any artisan go to those who know how
to use them. The ship, which is the sailor s
tool will go to the nation that has learned best
to use it.
Under the maritime laws of every nation
except America the seamen is slave from the
time he signs his contract until it expires,
either automatically or BY will of the master
If the seamen terminates the contract he goes
to Jail. 1t is about time the hundreds of thou
sands of seamen of the world were set free

EDUCATION
AND THINKING

THOMAS R. MARSHALL.
former vice president of the
- United States, told the
graduating class of the Columbia
City Qnd.) High Schc oil that the
American youth OF today enjoys
unparalleled edcation advan-
tages.
To-day the young people from
the high schools have as good an
education as had Daniel Webster
when he was graduated from Dart
mouth College," he stated.
In Webster's day. and before
college curicula consisted mostly of
Latin, Greek, ana q touch Of his
tory and rhetoric. Political and
natural sciences were not taught.
On the basis Of its courses Of study
probably the Harvard Of a CEN
fury ago couldn't pass the presents
requirements for an accredited
high school in Indiana.
In looking back at the intellec-
tual giants Of the past. with their
comparatively meager scholastic
training, one wonders where they
got their education. Apparently
their colleges didn't teach them
more than enough to come in out
of the rain.
They did, however, teach stu
dents to think. And that's the
fundamental purpose of scholastic
training.
But today in many school sys-
TENS thinking is discouraged by
law In Tennessee a student
mustn't hear anything about tile
theory of evolution for fear he
won't accept unquestioned the
Biblical account of creation. He
mustn't do his own thinking on
the subject.
Education that fails to develop
the thinking faculty is only an
intellectual veneer-like teaching
tricks to dog.
What the world needs Is more
Independent thinkers and fewer in
tellectual sheep. If the school
system doesn't train thinkers 1t is
failure though it Grams into it's
curriculum every known branch
Of knowledge.

Travelled highway at that point.
There almost monthly some motor
list has paid with his life for
failure to have eyes encircling his
head.
In 1916 the public service COM
mission ordered grade separation.
The railroads contested the order.
Eight years the matter dragged in
the courts. All the time the cross
ing gathered its usual toll Of
human lives.
Last fall an agreement was
reached and it was announced
that separation would proceed i'm

Nine years spent in trying to re-
move the most notorious grade
crossing trap in the State!
Meanwhile hundreds of new

And many are qualified and ready

the States natural scenic attrac-
ticns in public parks is more than
idle sentiment. 1t will insure
future Hoosiers Fairgrounds and
recreation spots-not only for pas
sionate nature lovers but for plain
people who want to step on the
gas and go somewhere.
Among the scenic attractions OF
the State none is so picturesque,
so unique, as the dunes region.
To most people the wild beauty of
the dunes country makes an ar
resistible appeal-although of
course a few feel nothing but the
send in their shoes when travers-
ing 1t.
However the section lies in the
fastest growing industrial district
in the world. If the State is ever
to possess a park there start
should be made now. In few
years the scenery will be obliter-
ated by steel mills and barbecue
stands. BY delaying the State
may have a magnificent dunes
park fund out no dunes.
