Ordinarily it is reserved for infants
to learn to walk. However, there ap.
pears too an imminent need fol-
adults to learn as we'll. for the in.
creasing use Of motor cars and other
forms of rapid transportation has
lessened the use Of legs Until there
appears to be some danger Of forget.
ting their function In the process OF
locomotion.
That walking is falling into disuse
is greatly to be regretted for it is
exercise, diversion and assistance in
health maintenance.
Any doubt that may exist in ones
ing may be dispelled by noting The
some popular boulevards few IL any
persons on foot are to be seen while
hundreds Of motor cars hurtle by.
their occupants loiling in their seats
and gazing indolently upon the rapid-
ly passing scenery.
With the advent Of rapid individ-
ual transportation walking for pleas
ure has fallen largely into the dis
card. Even school children ride
short distances to school when the
trip could be made advantageously
by walking. Children without means
of transportation are acquiring the
habit of spending Is or more min
utes on Q street corner soliciting
rides when the same time expended
in walking would enable them to reach
school quickly and afford moderEte
exercise.

Nothing is SO dear to us as our own impressions,
ideas which are usually the product of our mind
--and imagination. Our impressions are something
sreal and original for us-somethng which we create
for ourselves and understand in own peculiar
way.
3 Army privates obey their officers often because
the Officers uniforms give them the impression of
aathority and not because Of the men who wear the
cloak of authority. Policemen for the same reason
rare able to direct and bring order to disorderly
groups. The policeman's uniform gives everyone a
definte impression of authority.
Il Great statesmen, musicians, ministers and others
are bonored and respected because of the impress
sion their titles convey. It is not unusual for pre-
tender to assume important title and be accepted
with honor and high recognition, proving that it is
the impression Of the title and not the man himself
. that people accept.
Impressions may fool US. They often give us the
wrong viewpoint We believe in our own impressions
50 sincerely that they dangerous to u.s. We must
always be on guard against that most common Of
! human errors known as false impression.

Editorial Comment
The Credit Side
(Daytona Beach JournaD

(DaytOna Beach JOurna)
Financiers and moralsts may worry about the ex-
tension of the credit buying system, but the retail
credit men find it satisfactory
If American business went back to cash basis
says the president of the Retail Credit Mems assoca
ton, its volume of sales would decrease IS per cent
That would mean prostration and paralysis of mod
ern business.
One person in fifty is deadbeat, this authority
says. Whether regarded as a high or low percentage
that doesn't do much practical harm to the system
The deadbeats continually weeded out and re-
fused credit that of all credit allowed less than
cent the dollar is lost
Retail credit merchants afford this loss, he
says because their sales is less and their sales
volume greater than the cash merchants. How so :?
Because people naturally buy more when they have
credit than when they pay cash, and they do less
shopping around and wasting clerks time

Philippine Boycott

The threat of Roxas, Speaker of the Philippine
House, to boycott and otherwise intimidate" all
Americans in the Philippines who oppose indcpend-
ence for the islands, leaves cold and greatly re-
sentful. While it is true that in the past have
rather dalied with Philippine independence, never
theess, the islanders have not lost by that action
since they were not yet in position to adequately
govern themselves.
But If our reason has been unable to see the JUS
t'ce OF the cause Of Philippine independence at this
stage Of the game, it is far from likely that we
would take kindly to program Of intimidation
against Americans who take this same view in the
islands and if the Philippine people think they can
pursue such course profitably they will be greatly
mistaken

Child, Home and School

William Allen White in the Emporia Gazette)
There has always been over the kid. Adam
and Eve probably were scared and amazed when Cain
came, and were frightened over Cain and Abel from
the start. 1t has come down. Every generation
has been frightened by what it begot and has been
inclined to deny its spiritual parentage.
This ancient terror of offspring, this fear of wise
childhood comes because cannot mirror ourselves
accurately. We dislike to realize and vehemently
deny that the child is the product Of the home There
really is little wrong with any generation; precious
little wrong with the younger generation. 1t is ex-
cited and nervous and is coming into the world
rather precociously 1t is discovering lot of things
in its teens that its fathers and mothers learned in
their twenties and thirtes and the revelations are
for the moment dsconcerting but not disastrous In
its twentes and thirtes it will be learning something
still more important, for after all the world does
seem to Progress, the thing we like to call
progress, persists in the world.
But the child, today's child even the flaming
youth about which are all so worried, is merely
product. of the modern home; the product Of an
environment which of this generation have Gre
ated On the whole doing more good things
for the child consciously and with generalization than
we doing bad things by neglect and by inadvert-
ence
But the home is to blame chiefly for the faults of
the child The jazz age of today was preceded by
the bridge age and the war-work age and the nerv-
GUS fluttering age Of yesterday in i1ksg American
home. We have got what we have bred AMI ouk Nome
environment has made our children. We were not
30 bad as we seemed to our parents thirty years
ago. The children are not so bad - they seem to-
day. Nothing inexpiicable has happened. The child
has gone through the routine channel 0f hereditary
environment and is what he is because we are what
we are.
And now the school must take it. The school Of
yesterday will not transform the child o. today into
. good citizen Of tomorrow. The school must recog-
~ new problems and meet them IN > new way.
