SCHOOL DAYS

Again the school bell sounds. II
sounded, or some other signal was
given, for Roman school children
centuries ago. The children of the
present are following the law of CIV
ilization. In tender years they must
be prepared for the business OF life,
that they may be able to pick up the
burden where their elders leave off,
and carry it on.
The vacation is over for the chill
dren. They had good time while it
lasted. There was fishing and bath
ing and rambles through the woods
and camping and trips through the
country and mountain climbing and
baseball and tennis and field games
and other play. But life is not made
up of such things. Some of it is grim.
That last is what makes schooling
the order of the day.
Life never stands still. The chill
dren of the present will be the con-
trolling, achieving citizens of later
years. Hence the schools, that the
needs of the future may be met, that
the men and women of tomorrow
may be efficient, capable men and
women.

EDUCATION VIA THE ETHER

EDUCATION VIA THE ETHER
The Importance of radio in the
general uplift and education of large
masses of the country's population is
just beginning to be realized. The
educational possibilities of radio are
pushing themselves forward rapidly
into the public consciousness.
Prominent educators both here
and abroad look to the radio to
bring about real universal education.
Not the four RS kind of education,
but that which enables one to appre-
ciate the best in art, music and life.
Radio is credited with having i'm
proved the American taste for music.
The public schools in Atlanta, Ca,
have already added the radio to
their faculty. From a central station
lectures and music are broadcast to
the class rooms and assembly halls,
each of which is equipped with a re-
CO4f4nS oCLs
There is now under consideration
a plan under which the foremost
thinkers and educators from this and
other countries will appear in a SER
les of educational and cultural radio
lectures. An audience of millions is
assured. 1t appears probable the fu-
ture will see chair of radio estab-
lished to fulfill such a purpose.
Even now, when most radio pro-
grams are designed to entertain, no
one can follow the radio without be-
ing improved mentally and cultural
ly. And very often it teaches while
it entertains.
The day may coma when the uni
versity extension courses will be Civ
en- by radio to students miles away, |
and it is not beyond the realm Of
possibility that some day education |
will be carried by the ether to homes
in the mountains and plains remote
from school house and college.

party dodge this issue and seek to
deceive the people--any device to pre-
vent a party decision on the prohibit
ton question-would be to gain votes
that otherwise might be lost. 1t
could be nothing else. What votes
could be lost except those Of the
enemies and opponents of the eight
zenith amendment"
Mr.. McAdoos belief that there must
be a declaration for effective Federal
enforcement in those States refusing
or failing to enforce the law is thus
disclosed by him:
I'm their search for responsibility
the opponents of the eighteenth amend
ment have seized upon the doctrine of
States rights to win support in South
ern quarters for cause to which the
South is basically opposed. Any
one who is impressed by that submits
to fundamental misunderstanding of
the historic doctrine of States rights.
States Rights Argument.
How can the doctrine OF States
rights be applicable in such situa-
ton, where the Constitution draws no
line between State and Federal power,
and where, consequently, there can
be no question of the Federal Govern
ment invading sphere of action
which th1 Constitution reserves eX-
clusively for action by the States?
THE Federal Government in en-
forcing the prohibition amendment by
Federal action is not assuming powers
which under the Constitution belong to
the States. 1t is exercising a power
which the States have imposed upon
it through the Constitution itself.
THE constitutional provision on the
subject being what it is, there cap be
no more doubt about the constitution
al power of the Federal Government to
enforce the prohibition amendment
without invading States rights than
about its power to coin money, estab-
fish post offices and fix the standard
of weights and measures. The ques-
ton of States rights in any proper
sense of the expression does not arise.
Nevertheless, the wording of the
eighteenth amendment is such that
if the States do not care to witness
an active campaign of prohibition en-.
forcement carried on by the Federal
Government within their own borders
they have it in their power to avoid
it. The States have precisely the
same power of enforcement as the
Federal Government. If for any rea-
son they feel that the enforcement

Adoo's argument runs. 'the effect OF

SPARTANBURG. S. c., September
27.-A law making it a felony for
masked persons to fog or otherwise
harm or threaten violence to any one

this city, grand dragon of the order in

acted making it a felony punishable

person to assume a disguia~ and in
fiict, offer or threaten violence or cor
poral injury to any human being,

activities Of the Federal Government
would be Objectionable. all they have
to do is to enforce effectively the
amendment themselves. This would
reduce Federal activity to the mini
mum. This is what the amendment
contemplates.
Refusal to Cooperate.
1.-THE power Of the Federal Govern
ment needs to be brought into play
within the borders of a State on any
considerable scale only when the State
is negecting 10 perform the aftirma-
tive duties of enforcement which the
Constitution Contemplates that 1t
shall perform. Extension of Federal
activity is made necessary only by
those States which have a warmer
affection for the liquor traffic than for
the Constitution.
Federal activity is the product of
the deliberate refusal of certain States
to cooperate in a Nationwide sup
preston of the liquor traffic by the
joint action of the States. 1t is non
cooperation by certain States in a
Nationwide movement which, on one
hand, thus creates the necessity for
Federal action, and, on the other, pre-
vents Sreliance in such States upon
the principle of local enforcement"
Mr.. McAdoo leaves no doubt that
he could not subscribe to any doctrine
that the Federal Government should
confine its activities to the proven
ton of smuggling, interstate traffick-
ing and the control of industrial alco
hol manufacture, leaving the States
to do as they please about prohibition
of the sale of alcoholic liquors.
His view is that the Constitution
does not contemplate that or admit
it, and that the whole force of the
States rights doctrine ''is on the side
of enforcement of the amendment sby
the States if possible, by the Federal
Government If necessary"
