CODE OF ETHICS SOUGHT
Better Business Bureau Asked to
Aid in Determining a Standard
for Institutions.

The National Better Business Bu-
reau, Inc, has been requested by
group of large correspondence
schools of the country to assist them
in preparing a code of ethics. Such
institutions as the International Cor
respondence School of Scranton. Pa,
La Sale Extension University of Chi
cago and the Lewis Hotel Training
Schools of Washington are the types
of homestudy schools that have set
out to draft a suitable code for use
throughout the United States.
\ committee has been appointed
representing twelve of the largest cor
respondence schools Of the country.
Clifford Lewis of the Lewis Hotel
Training Schools has been selected as
a member of this committee. BY in
VeStigation it has been found that Il
great many correspondence schools
are not being conducted on as high a
standard as they should be and it is
planned by the largest schools,
through the Better Business Bureau,
to prepare this code of ethics to put
all home-study training schools on
the same high plane Of efficiency.
The Summer class at the Lewis
Hotel Training Schools finds itself
more than half way through the
course in hotel management. The re.
naming management and executive
section will carry the class through
October.

The Great Unknown

Much named but little known,
George Washington is still strang-
er to his countrymen. From time
to time they make pathetic APP
proaches toward acquaintance by
reminding themselves that the clay
part of him was nodded by the
standards of his time; they recite
with all the zest of fresh discovery
that he swore. No human has left
SO full record of his life and ac-
tion, yet no man save Shakespeare
shows SO little of his inner self. The
nation knows as an elder brother
every great son, it ever bore, but
Washington remains aloof as father.
We can trace Lincoln's struggles
through every stage of the way.
But Of all his, hardly word from
Washington. There are great fig
ures whose finishing is, visibly com
pleted in this world before the eyes
of all: fifty-two years of preparation
preceded Lincoln's four short years
OF exalted service. But Washing
ton was full-armored when he came
he was man finished in the secret
places of the Almighty ere setting
forth: he came endowed with all his
powers upon the field. At II he
was surveying the new land; at 19
he was a major of militia; at 20 he
was in charge of the Mount Vernon
estate; at Fl he was an officer in
the British Army fighting for Anglo
Saxon control of the continent; at
AZ he was the most influential mem
ber of the first constitutional con-
gress; at 43 he was commander-in-
chief of the Revolutionary armies;
at 55 he was president of the CON
vention that drafted the constitu-
tion of the United States; at 81 he
was president of the United States;
at 81 he died. His public service
early begun, continued from youth
to old age, and every task committed
to him proved him a finished man,
invariably the organizer of victory.
This most uncommon man has
never become known to the common
people. 1t is somewhat the fashion
to say that legend has obscured him
in an unearthly veil; it is nearer
truth to say that legend has sought
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1926-03-04

to bring him near BY making him
familiar. But the legend of the
cherry tree, no less than the legend
of his prodigious powers of profan-
ity, have failed of this intention.
He still remains inaccessible. His
fame descends from his greatness,
not from his popularity.
From time to time, at the heart of
great crises, or at the birth of new
eras of enlightenment, a great soul
steps forth, with a wisdom that was
never learned, with foreknowledge
that was never studied, and saves
the established good or inaugurates
new good that is to be. Then he
vanishes into the veiled region
whence he came. OF that race was
Washington. And the more remote
he appears, the higher lifted up, the
more he will repay the attentive re-
gard of his CONFERENCE.-THE Dear
born Independent.

Most Drivers Abuse Autos

Ed Howe, philosopher of Potato
Hill At Atchison, Kan, said in re-
cent issue of his monthly magazine
that not one man in 10 gives decent
care tc his automobile, even when
care would lengthen the life of the
car and save important sums for
the owner. He thinks most men
jam and pound their cars to pieces,
then criticise the builders, claiming
the cars are not well made.
There are others who think not
one car in SO is given the care it's
cost and service would justify. Only
an occasional driver is familiar with
power machinery, probably not one
in a thousand is competent to care
for and operate even a small power
plant Yet they take their car,
with its power plant, feel competent
to handle it, put it through the
hardest tests, and give it only slight
attention so long as it responds
when they make demands.
Probably no man ever drove a
car long enough to wear it out, if
the proper care and attention were
given it while in use. Probably no
man ever will accomplish that feat.
The psychology of fast car hard
ly is conducive to steady, careful,
thrifty thought. Speed, pleasure
and hurrah crowd that sort of
thinking into the background. The
next model may have many i'm
portant improvements. Buying a
new car is not a difficult task for
many. The situation is not such as
to inspire care.---O. S. Journal,
