Editorial Comment
A Job For ScOtchmen
IN. Y. Times)

The suggestion of the Rev. John McNcill, that
Scotch financcrs should have been called in to
sist the Europeans in their debt settlements with
America. comes bclatedly. The ntn,ation is that
If Scotch sagacity had been invoked the Americans
would have been glad for anything they could GET
This intended not as a criticism of our claims,
but tribute to the Scotch shrewd of basic
right and fair dealing as well as Of thrift prom
ncnt American of largest business interests, born
in Scotland, is reported to have said that he was
never cheated by Scotchman; but on the other
hand it might truthfully have been added that
no Scotchman could ever be cheated. Such is the
integrity Of the Scotchmen with all their cannncss
that they might safely have been entrusted with
the whole debt settlement. There is a proverb that
the Scotch always reckon "frae an i'll hour" but
they always prudently and thrftily reckon also for
an i'll hour They may be "croustest" (keenest)
in their "ain cause'-and none can be keener-but
they are not less keen in any cause they make their
own Moreover their land was the terminus of the
bridge that united Europe and America, and
no people are nearer to both.

oh. How II Did Rain!

Things were very dry around Louisville Ky. The
.l,i-tmcrs couldn't remember such drouth since
away back yondcr telling how long ago. Crops
in the surrounding territory were being ruined. A
cloud Of dust on a country road might mean either
pedestrian an auto passing.
With such conditions prevailing, the good people
met and prayed for rain. Farmers ccrgymen and
others gathered in many places. "Scnd rain,
they asked. 'Thc crops burning up; wells 60
ing dry homes dusty; it's the worst drouth
in many years"
Shortly after this, the rain started. 1t didn't
rain, but it poured. Old-timers hadn't seen such 9
rain since away back yonder telling when.
Many talked Of holding prayer meetings to ask
that the rain be stopped. Perhaps they asked TO,
too much in their prayers. We often do

DIR. Charles w. Eliot

:: With the death of Dr. Charles w. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard university and for forty
the active head Of that famous institution Of learn
ing the world has lost of intense enthusiasm
for the cause of educating the person. Pos
scssed of the conviction that lack of knowledge
the biggest single handicap that has to face
IN his daily activities he devoted his life, not only
to the imparting Of knowledge through the ordinary
channel Of school and university. but by Of
what he termed his "five-foot shelf of books
Z This was set of books the reading Of which
designed to supply the deficiencies in the cultural
1ducaton of the average man. In these books DR..
Eliot grouped in logical sequence the various classics
Of the cultured world and arranged them for popu-
lar consumption.
:. Perhaps Dr. Eliot's most notable single contrbu-
tim to the various subjects often brought up
discussion in periodicals. was his denial Of the So
called "mclting-pot" theory of America. He denied
ahat America was such melting pct for the races
and asserted that the actual working of such Il
stheory would be a misfortune and that it was bet
ter for American citizens of all origins to retain
ter distinctive racial customs and to cschew inter-
racial marriages.
Another matter for which Dr. Eliot received wide
publicity was his opposition to the Standardization
of the nation. He violently opposed to this
process claiming that it having an evil effect
on the mental powers of the nation. that ndividu-
Atty the most precious Of assets to the world was
being made subservient to the ability to turn out =
cast quantity Of automatically performed labor in
= short time.
:. Whatever we may think Of DR.. Eliot's personal
opinions we must recognize the great force he has
been in American education and thus mourn his loss
the loss Of whole nation and not of an individual
Drofession.

Pave 10 Fargo and Siopx Fails ,
[ MinncapOlis JOurnal

There is no disposition, We believe, to hurry the
state highway departments paving program. No
doubt, Mr.. Babcock is moving as rapidly and cf-
fcctively toward the goal Of paving all important
atteral roads the resources put at his disposal
by the state permit.
But we think the Importance of completing paved
highways from the Twin Cities to the west and
southwest should he kept well to the fore. Five
years should see hard-surfaced highways opened
from the Cities through to Fargo and to Sioux Falls
Perhaps three years will do it.
These are by far the most important paving jobs
that impend now that the pavement to Duluth is
nearing completion. They will provide easy chan
nels of communication between the Dakotas and
these centers-regions with which our trade and
social relations already close but which greatly
need better highways for intercommunications
Such paved highways will, Of course. greatly ia
cilitate tourist travel to and from Minnesota par
tive, after all, is commercial Better access to the
Cities must be given these growing and prosperous
regions, SO that they may more easily interchange
trade with US. may buy and sell in our markets to
better advantage
Ten years should see completion Of the paving Of
al our great arteral highways, from the south Il
the north, from the east to the west, and connect
ing the corners Of the state.
Whether the gasoline tax should be increased
whether the motor vehicle tax should b raised
whether the highway funds should be anticipated
through bond issue. are questions, a. courses fol

ture should weigh carefully the tremendous, advan

So should it be written of Jaufre
Rudel.
His fellow troubadours reflect the
spirit of their day-gay, needless,

names are lost in the passage Of the
centuries.
Loves had Jaufre one-a perfect
love that makes his story timeless.
"Jaufre Rudel, Prince of Blaya, fell
in love with the Countess of Tripoli,

good report that he had of her from

her with good tunes but poor words.

THE RADIO FARM COLLEGE

It is expected that over 100000
farmers will become enrolled in the
Radio Farm College which has been
recently inaugurated by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. According to
Sam Pickard, director of the radio
activities of the department, the
courses on farming are distributed
throughout the country by large
number of leading broadcasting sta
tons, and are supplemented by
pamphlets and bulletins arranged by
the Department Of Agriculture.
The radio farm school is only one Of
the projects outlined for broadcasting
throughout the winter as a govern
mental service to the farmers. An
''hour for housekeepers" has been ar
ranged for the women of the farm,
and other features include "Autobi-
ographies of Infamous Bugs and Rod
ents"-"Chats by The Weather Man"
"a Farm News Digest elm
terviews with the Agricultural Eco
nomist".
According to Mr.. Pickard, the text
book style of teaching will not be used
in the radio university, but will be
supplanted by concise material ar
ranged with short words and in short
sentences, and containing human in
terest humor.
The Farm School course, which is
divided into a series Of short courses
of eight lessons each, deals with all
phases of live stock, poultry and dairy
farming, and will be broadcast from
participating stations on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday for periods of
fifteen minutes each.
Under the new arrangement, solu-
tions to current farm problems are
given on the air through the medium
of dramatized conversation between
Robbins, the county agent" and "Mr.
Dibble, a representative farmer"
Listeners will hear both sides of an
intelligent, interesting conversation
bearing on the most timely current
farm problems. The Monday program
is devoted to live stock, the Tuesday
conversation to crops, the Wednesday
conversation to poultry, the Thursday
