Function of Education.

Another contribution OF great ben
eft. which IS carried on SO success
fully by the local public authorities, is
that OF education. 1t is we'll known
that ignoran nee and vice and crime all
flourish together. Our local schools,
which are sanctioned by the States
and cherished by the National Gov
ernment, are institutions of enormous
value. not only IN providing learning
for our youth. but IN removing the
prejudices which naturally would exist
among various racial groups and bring
ing the rising generation OF our people
10 common understanding. 4 more
thorough comprehension of our po-
ltticsl and social institutions has rare
ly failed to produce "A more loyal citi-
zen. With few exceptions those who
come TO us as enemies of society are
SO because they have always found
society enemies TO them. Education
in the elements and fundamentals Of
the American principles of human re-
lationship has seldom failed to secure
their allegiance. But the mere sharp
ening of the wits, the bare training
of the intellect. the naked acquisition
OF science, while they would greatly
increase the power for good. likewise
increase the power for evil. An in
tellectual growth will only add to our
confusion unless 1t is accompanied by
a moral growth. l do not know of
any source OF moral power other than
that which comes from religion.
But there IS another and more basic
reason why the Government cannot
supply the source and motive for the
complete reformation of society. In
the progress of the human race re-
ligious beliefs were developed before
the formation of governments. IT is
my understanding that government
rests on religion. While in our own
country We have wisely separated the
church and the state in order 10 eman-
Cipate faith from all political interfer-
ence. nevertheless the forms and
theories OF our Government We're laid
in accordance with the prevailing re-
ligious convictions of the people. The
great revival of the middle Of the
eighteenth century had a marked in
iuence upon our Revolutionary period.
The claim to the right TO freedom.
the claim TO the right Of equality, with
the resultant right to self government
the rule OF the people-hare no
foundation other than the common
brotherhood of man derived from the
common fatherhood of God. The

RELIANCE ON RELIGION RATED
VITAL TO NATION BY COOLIDGE
Government Must Have Strong Moral Support of
People to Curb Crime Wave, He Tells Con-
gregationalist Council

More law observance and more re
, iieion are needed in this country,
President Coolidge told the annual
Council OF Congregational Churches in
an address last night.
''LawlesSness is altogether too prev
alent." he said. and a lack Of respect
for Government and the conventions
of enlightened society IS altogether
TOO apparent.
If there are any general failures
in the enforcement Of the law. il is
because there have first been general
failures in the disposition 10 observe
the law. can conceive of no
adequate remedy for the evils which
beset society except through the in
fluenCes of religion
The President said there was no
form Of education, government or re
ward which viii not fail; that re
demption must come through sacrifice
and sacrifice is the essence Of re-
ligion.' He bespoke untold benefit
through a broader com prehension of
this principle by the public and con
; tinued preaching Of II by the clergy.

Will tend to disappear with the mere
passage Of time. But too many OF
our people have found, oftentimes TO
their sorrow, that the privileges OF
liberty instead of being easy to enjoy
are in reality highly difficult responsi
bilities, requiring the utmost OF eff.
fort for success. Nor can II be denied
that on the part of some there is a
tendency to disregard too many OF
the former standards Of society and
too much of the former influence Of
authority.
Another characteristic Of our pres
ent state of civilization, which has
already been noted and commented
upon, is the disposition Of those who
are less we'll equipped 10 receive the
benefits Of the modern state of society
through bearing its burdens to at.

them to the necessary restraints and

any political method of adequately
dealing with these difficulties that I
have ventured to bring them TO the
attention Of this council.
Responsibility on People.
IT is natural to attempt to shift
the blame from ourselves to others
when evil conditions arise. It is al
ways easy to criticize the Govern
ment for failure to reform all morals.
to prevent all crime. and generally
TO abolish all evil. | have great faith
in the local and national Governments
of the United States. but much of
this field is beyond their reach. They
were not established TO discharge this
duty; they are utterly unable to ac-
cornplish it. The chief function OF
organized government is to maintain
order. provide security for persons
and property and set up the instru-
mentalitieS for the administration Of
justice. This means the making
Interpretation and the execution of
the law through the legislature. the
judiciary. the executive and all the
various machinery of administration
which these imply. But it ought al
ways TO be remembered that our insti-
tutions have undertaken to recognize
that the human mind Is and must
be free. This is one Of the reasons
why 1t is neither practical nor justifi-
able to impose upon the Government
the responsibility for the ultimate q
provision OF the Observation-Disclosures
which minister to the spiritual life.
1T is true that the Government
can aid, and is aiding. in the solution
OF some of the problems TO which l
have already referred. Without doubt
the law acts as a deterrent to wrong
doing and will usually go a long way
in the'repression of crime. But this
reaches its highest application only
when there is a very healthy and
determined public sentiment in favor
of the observance of the law. The

WY ECONOMIzE Nv THE WRONG pLAcE2

Very shortly the supervisors of Imperial county
will take up the matter of appropriation for the Agr
cultural Extension Service for the coming There
has been agitation in regard cutting down this
service under the plea that general campaign of
economy is imperative if the county is to survive
While the Press is heartily in favor of any and
all sane economy moves, should deprecate greatly
attempt to throttle the activities of the extension
service for feel that the helpful advice and aid
is giving to the farmers of Imperial county is worth
far far in of the $4,000 the county pays as its
share of the expense The state and federal govern
ment the salaries of these workersall the county
is expected to do is to provide them with automobiles
maintain same and pay overhead expenses
Not only the day-by-day help that is extended to
the farmers of Imperial Valley should be considered
IN discussing this question, but the invaluable assist
ance rendered by experts in all lines who come from
university headquarters cannot be expressed in dollars
and cents. All branches of agricultural pursuits
ceive the benefit of this expert advice-the dairy in
dustry the grain growers, the poultry raiser, the cit
rus and alfalfa and cotton grower and dozen other
pursuits that make the warp and woof of this fifty
million dollar annual production of ours.
One piece of work alone, conducted by the Agr-
cultural Extension Service is estimated to have
brought s2o2so additional revenue to the dairymen in
the valley last in increased butterfat production
The farmers have expressed their opinion no
taln way to their appreciation of the work done by
the servcethey want this service and as they form
the bulk OF the taxpayers why not give them what they
want?
! More and better scientific farming is what this
valley vitality needs and how we to get it if we
shut off the from which this information is to
be derived? If we do this, every man and woman in
Vie Vdiiey De agriculture
and its allied pursuits constitute our only excuse for
Sexistence -. - -
Another thing-S6500 is such comparatively
small sum when stops to consider its relation to
the total amount of taxes paid into the county treas
ury Last year. something like S1250,0OO was collect
ed IN cold cash from county taxes-of this amount
5000 is approximately five tenths of per cent. If
we are out for cutting down expenses why not tackle
something bigger where slashing will make some
sort OF dent IN the whole for there many places
where economy might better be practiced than in weak
ening the extension service.
The Agricultural Extension Service and the Farm
bureau each till their definite and separate niche in
the scheme of valley affairs and we cannot for the
life OF u.s. why either should be sacrificed that
the other might continue to exist
