HOW 1T STARTED
ny JEAN NEWTON,
"0ne Swallow Doesn't Make a
Summer"

GO easy, son: remember. one swal-
low doesn't make summer" father
told his young son who seemed over
enthusiastic with regard to a business
plan, basing his hopes for great sue
cess on one fortunate venture. The ex-
preston is used with reference to any
situation where people jump to con-
clusions or are unduly discouraged or
enthused on what the speaker regards
as insufficient grounds.
The saying is Of mellowed origin,
dating back to the sixteenth century.
In Northbrooke's Treatise Against
Dancing" published in 1877, we find
lone swallowe prouveth not that sum-
mer is neare." We find 1t also in the
fifth chapter of the famous PROV
erbes," published in 1916 by John Hey
wood, the well known old English
writer. He said there, 'One Swallowe
maketh not summer" Hence, when
we use this saying we may know that
we are quoting from literature rather
than indulging in just an apt bit of
slang.

UNIFORM LAWS FOR MOTOR
CARS.

Secretary Hoover's Committee
on Uniformity of Laws and Regu-
lations of the National Confer
ence on Street and Highway Safe
ty presented its report suggesting
a uniform vehicle code for the
States. This would be In three
sections, covering, respectively,
registration, operators and chauf-
feurs and the operation of vehi-
cles on highways. To the resi-
dents of each State the recommen-
dations will present, it may be
assumed, certain novelties or sug-
gested changes in local procedure,
but out of such activities as these
of the National Conference and its
committees are bound to flow re-
forms and revisions which ulti-
mately will show the motorist
where he is at whatever he may
be.
The first novelty affecting Mas
sachusetts is the proposal that all
owners shall obtain certificates OF
title, to protect against thievery.
The titling has been found useful
in the States which have required
it, like Maryland. Under the pro-
posed act alteration or forging OF
a certificate of title would constf-
tute a felony. The act would con-
fer complete reciprocal rights a.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1926-03-19

to vehicles, operators and chauf-
feurs. These do not exist every
where now. Each State under the
act would determine the amount
and disposition of the fees.
Provision is made for uniform
highway traffic signs, for boule-
ward stops and for signalling by
operators AS to the last-named,
the code would substitute the
straight-arm signal for the three
way signal required by no fewer
than nine States. This would be
an improvement, as avoiding much
confusion and innocent offending.
The code, while repeating the
common definition of reckless
driving" which is only a matter
of common sense, would llberallze
for many States, our own among
them, the speed limits. These are,
in Massachusetts, eight miles
where the view is obstructed, as
at corners, fifteen in residential
districts and twenty miles In the
open country The suggested uni
form law would substitute fifteen,
twenty and thirty-five miles, thus
leaving the issue of reckless driv-
ing in congested districts to be
determined by facts but allowing
greater speed in the open. This
last provision appears to us an
Improvement, for the twenty-mile
country limit is usually a joke,
unless some over-technical local
authority desires to make trouble
where danger is not an element.
Existing statutes show gross TACK
of uniformity in the matter OF
speed, and the nearest possible
approach to agreement should be
reached by the States. The fore
going are only few high spots,
but a hasty reading of the report
inclines us to commend it as a
useful service. 1t may not be
necessary to say that 1t contains
no suggestion of Federal legisla-
ton for the regulation of motor
vehicles.

COST OF EDUCATION

1t is probably well on the side
of the conservative to say that
nine out of every ten citizens OF
our country will give their com
plete approval to the statement
by an Englishman that dlspro-
nortjonate share of public money
is being devoted to the public
schools. Yet it is to the credit
of Americans that, while COM
planning eternally of the tax bur-
den which education imposes upon
them, they habitually decide, once
they have expressed their op1n-
ions and listened to debate, that
the schools are worth what they
cost. However, they will not Sc
riously object IL some one shows
them how expenditures may be
reduced.
Parents who have an idea that
the expense of running the
schools is excessive, ought to
think a minute before they talk.
And among the things they ought
to think about are the actual f.
nancial facts in the case. The
per capita cost of education IN
the public schools of lassacAu-
sets il approximately $50 q year.
For this sum the school takes
charge of the child for at least
five hours a day for 800 days. Dur
ing that period 1t serves as tutor,
nurse and foster parent. How
: IIin... W ;u,d, father have to pay
IL he undertook to have these
functions performed by private In
dividuals! Anyone who has ever
hired a girl to come in and stay
with the children for few hours"
knows the answer to that ques-
ton.
A suggestion Is the establish
ment of more private schools. the
object being of course to shit
from the State to the individual
the burden of paying for the edu-
cation of more of the country's
children. This proposal would
seem to be of doubtful value. 1t
is true that many parents would
prefer to send their sons to pri-
yate institutions but not many are
in that happy financial state
where they can afford to do so.
And some of those who are In
that happy financial state where
they will hesitate a bit when they
stop to remember that no matter
where their own children go they
will still have to bear their share
of the taxes levied to support the
pubic SCUOOiS.
From the present enormous eX-
penditures for educational pur-
poses, there is little prospect OF
relief, provided we wish to retain
our position as an enlightened and
progressive Nation. There might
be real effort to speed up the
educational process so that boys
and girls, above the average in
capacity and ambition could COM
plete their course in less than the
allotted time. A grade year is
the normal rate of progress, but
il is too slow for thousands. In
fairness, both to them and to the
taxpayers. they should be permit
ted to move more rapidly.
