Temperance

GTlHE hearings scheduled by Congress on
IL the question of modifying the Volstead
act will serve useful purpose, under certain
conditions Principal Of these conditions are
two:
First-If the Senate and House committee
members approach the subject with DISPOSE
ton to learn.
Second-If they devote their attention
chiefly to witnesses who have no personal or
professional ak to grind That is to say, if they
give the most Of their time to witnesses who are
neither professional vets no professional drys.
professional vets include men representing
the liquor interests Professional drys are men
who make their living out of prohibition
1t is becoming hard to ignore the fact that
prohibition enforcement in the national sense,
is failure. The people of the country grow
more and more disposed to face this situation.
Few, indeed, are those who like conditions as
they are. But
The desire for temperance In America is
as keen and as general as it was when prohibi-
ton was enacted.
Temperance is yet to be tried, as national
policy. If anything useful comes out of the
congressional hearings it will be something
that points the way toward temperance.
1t is useless to look for wisdom of this
kind out of the mouths of the professional pro-
hibitionists. 1t is equally useless to expect it
FROM the paid agitatorsof the liquor interests.
s If prohibition is headed for the rocks as
seems to be the case, don't look to the two
crews that wrecked it to salvage. The one thing
worth saving. Neither ever has understood
temperance, although it is the one policy really
in keeping with the temperament of this dem
ocratic Nation.

The Little Red
SChOOIhOuSe

lT HE little red, one-room-type schoolhouses,
once so familiar in Indiana are fast dis
appearing, according to H. N. Sherwood State
superintendent Of public instruction. During
the past year $50 were abandoned and now in
the State there are only 1929 such schools com
pared with $500 few years ago.
Only one remains in Marion County.
All of which, doubtless, bespeaks educa-
tional progress. The little red schoolhouses,
though famed in song, story and mortality
tables, did not furnish rural children with edu-
cational facilities equal to city boys and girls.
They were full Of inconvenience, faulty ven
tilation and poor lighting.
The new consolidated schools that have
supplanted them and now loom all over the,
Indiana landscape-impressive structures con-
sisting Of mammoth gymnasiums entirely sur
rounded by basketball teams, bond issues and
free school hacks-give the children Of rural
sections every educational advantage.
But some way the one-room schools Of the
past were not such total losses as modern edu-
Gators imply.
In their dim interiors lurked myopia; ty-
phoid germs preened themselves on the rims
of water buckets. But also in their interiors
lurked the moral truths embalmed in McGuffey
readers and the fundamentals Of education.
Children who came forth from such schools
could frequently SPELL name the capitals Of all
the States Of the Union and do long division.
Very few of the little red schoolhouses'
graduates achieved fame as boy bandits.
Despite its many shortcomings the little
red school had something that the ornate mod
ern educational system, compounded of jazz
and gasoline and complex frills, might well en-
ulate

is now northern Italy.
Not more than six months ago Premier
Mussolini himself officially expressed similar
desire for Italians abroad. He specifically urged
that Italian cultural centers ~ be established
here in the United States.
Thus we find Mussolini threatening Ger
many for almost the identical act he himself
contemplates trying out on America.

the flag of Savoy over Berlin, then President
Coolidge would be equally justified in threaten
ing to plant the Stars and Stripes over Rome

hit in Little Old New York"
1t wac such hit that she attempts

story motive is about the same.
Lights" is just theater while Lit
tie Old New York. was romantic
charm itself. quaint and beautiful.
In Lights" Miss Davies has a
chance to play two roles. twin sisters
who were separated shortly after
birth, one being taken to a rich home
and the other to just a shanty. AS
the shanty girl, Marion attempts to
do the tomboy stunts employed so
successfully by Mary Piclxford.
Marion does very well, but she will
never be another Mary Pickford,
especially in tomboy roles.
Lights Of Old Broadway" was
made from a stage something called
THE Merry Wives Of Gotham
just why the title I do not know nor
do l care.
Lights" is interesting because we
see Thomas Edison, Theodore Roose-
welt. Webex and Fields and other
notables when they were boys. From
a scenic standpoint, Lights" is in
teresting because it reflects an idea
Of the life when New York was
growing.
Conrad Nagel Is in the cast He
hasn't muck to do bat to make love
