FLOOD IEGISIATIDN
 S CONGRESS

Higher and stronger lcycce; large outlets or spiIlways; control of sourcc-streams through reservoirs these are some of the plans under foot for controlling the Mississippi river. Congress will have to make some sort of decision as to what par ucular plan is best, after due con- slderauon ot the diverse plans of engineers, and the nation can rest assured a healthy appropriation will b. required to get started on the work of tanning the father of waters.
 Perhaps there is no public work before the American people over which there is SO much expert dis pute as to what ought 10 be done, Since 1873 certain experts have ad- yocuel controlled outlets or spill ways; another group of experts has been for levees only which would eontma tbo river between dikes.

Perhaps this is good thing in the long run. Those who can't stick and funk, or who do not complete the courses, find their level only little later than would otherwise have been the case. What Malkus claims. however. is that such youngsters have wasted time and would have found niche in life for which they are fitted if they had started locat- ing 1t earlier.
 There will be no change in the future despite such articles as that from which We quoted. Parents able 10 afford 1t are going to send their sons and daughters to college re- eardless Of any other consideration. Clarence Barron, Boston financier. may claim to his hearts content that the entire educational system is topsy-turvy. but nothing different will be achieved thereby. The only way to bring about a change would be for all of Ifs to become too poor to send the boys to collegc--and that isn't likely. The youngsters we raise may make perfectly good bricklay- CTS, efficient carpenters, successful auto mechanics, but we won't admit l it. What they've got to do in our ! estimation, is to get the benefits of a college education and land some
 white collar job later on.
 The children Of our successful bricklayers carpenters plumbers and mechanics are due to go through
 the same mill, as these gentlemen parents are among our most pros 1 porous citizens, a class well able to afford giving their offspring all the advantages of super education In stead of bowling about the large

 present road at the Newheld school house. The highway commission is on record as considering this as a nifty improvement for next year, and when done will enable people in this part of the state to enjoy the bcnc-

RI RAJ NAH. BOXES

Fugitive items in the newspapers throughout the state relate to q widespread reform being instigated by the post office department, one which combines post office law with more order and charm in the loca- ton of mail boxes.
 Who has not seen country high ways, especially near settlements, all but disfigured by the hetcro- goneous and iudiscriminato placing Of rural mail boxes on poles at the intersection of highways, or the in tersections of streets ill the outlying sections of communities where post men do not deliver mail to the doors of tho residents but place it i'll these rcceptacles dangling from poles?
 All of which IS being vastly re- formed. Instead of half a dozen or more mail boxes being attached to poles without rhyme or reasyl, giv- ing the appearance of scarecrowS, the post oflice department has 'ad- yised" all postmasters 10 sec that the mail boxes are grouped together in an artistic fashion, ] biIlboards are unsightly, the department has ruled, so are rural mail boxes when hap hazaldly placed.
 Thus the department makes it's in fluencc felt in beautifying the coun- try highways and suburban streets, It might be added that bureaucratic rule from Washington has thus SCOT ed quite a victory, has done some thing which millions of residenters, left to their own accord, could have done but never did, as Will Rogers would say.

THE 500, 900 ENTRANTS FOR COLLEGE TRAINING

No parents like to admit that their sons are not adapted to specialized training; consequently 5O0,000 youths entered college this fall.
 Yet one Hubert Mall1us presenting his views in the New Age Illustrated. slartles us with the statement that few American youths, possibly not more than 15 per cent, are worth a college education; and that a high percentage fail to complete their courses.
 If his figures are correct, then the Malkus thesis that most youths are not worth q college education also must be correct. Ii high percentage do not finish what they start there must be a good reason for ii.
 "In q bygone day, when college halls were thinly populated, there was propaganda for college educa- tion,' Malkus declares. Tt was sold 10 the public. The idea got abroad that every child ought to go to col lcgo. If that is not a human trait at least if is inherent in democracy where one person is deemed as good as iho next. Therefore all arc deem ed worth sending to collage. and to the institution falls the task of weed ing out the mistits"
 We have noticed for some years tha, the prime consideration as to whether q young man or woman ahould ha sent to college seems to be whether the parents can afford the luxury. With an increasing prosperity roundabout, more parents can afford ii, and Inc colleges are awampcd with students. It is no longer qucs. tIon Of srndlng the most intelligent youngsters 10 seats of higher learn. ing, it is one Of sending them there as t matter Of course. It has be, come just Us necessary and desirable in America for am increasing number of parents 10 send the boys and girl, 10 college as 10 operate the tamil! automobile.
