Our Teacher Guests

To-day the city has as it's guests about
14OOO men and women who form, perhaps, the
most important group in Indiana.
They are the teachers who have it in their
power to give some direction to the trend Of
events which will occur a generation hence,
when the boys and girls now in their school
rooms take active charge Of industry, COM
merce and government.
The whole trend of our educational system
is to produce standardized man and woman.
By the adoption of standards and textbooks,
the attempt seems to be to send out the boy
and girl from each community with the same
mental equipment as is given every other.
We now compel everySparent to see that
children attend schools and obtain the rudl-
ments of what is called education, or at least
the knowledge by which education may be
gained.
The success Of these teachers who are gath
cred here today will depend not on how well
they give these required studies, but on how
far they can inspire in each pupil real desire
to acquire knowledge.
We today have in abundance the easy
means of obtaining knowledge and education
for those who really desire this equipment.
The public libraries no longer make it nee
essarv for a potential Lincoln to study under
the glare Of pine knots. It is no longer nee
essary for any one to make any sacrifice ex-
cept Of time and effort, to become the posses
sor of all the knowledge which the race has
gained in it's centuries of progress.
Perhaps it is because it is too easy these
davs to really obtain an education that there
seems to be less of real desire to acquire 1t.
There are night schools in every city. Fro
fessors from the State universities carry on ex-
tensive extension work Books are cheap and
easily obtained.
INST as it was necessary for the Lincolns OF
other generations to sacrifice time and eHort 10
rise above the levels Of education, 1t IS neces-
sary for those today who aspire to leadership
or unusual usefulness to do something more
than 60 through the prescribed motions II they
would reach greater heights.
These teachers can, if they choose, inspire
that ambition Or they may stlf1e 1t. Ihey are
important factors in our life.
If they can give to even few OF their
pupils real desire to gain knowledge Tor the
sake Of knowledge, if they can inspire IN only
q very few the power to think for themselves,
we need not fear any dead levels. We already
have HIGH standards. But the top has not been
reached.

So long as nations visualize the
art of wholesale murder as the
most important thing in their ex-
istence, just so long will they call
upon the inventor and the SCENT
list to perfect 1t.
There never has, and tnere
never will be anything moderate,
humane or considerate in war.
The value of efforts to civilize
it consists in the fact that they
indicate growing belief that war
is wrong.

Assistance in cleaning up two
neighborhood trash heaps was given
north side residents today by Mr..
Fixit.
Dear Mr.. Fixit: What can be done
TO prevent surrounding neighbors
from dumping their trash on the
vacant lots along N. Ethel ST., be-
tween Thirty-f1rst and Thirty-sec-
ond SITS. They are dumping rotten
tomatoes, dead cats and dogs and
tin cans on the lot. There is no
sign there which reads 1925 fine for
dumping" MRS. G. T,
DR.. Herman G. Morgan, city
health secretary, ordered an in
spector to investigate the COM
plant.
Dear Mr.. Fixit: Seeing that you
have helped others I am wondering
if you can help me. People living
in houses in 400 block N. Randolph
st. burn old leaves and rubbish
about two nights a week about
7:30, this makes houses in the neigh
borhood become filled with smoke.
1t is not very nice for one to go to
bed with rooms filled with the smell
of old leaves. AS soon as. a nice
Sunday morning comes they are at
it again. I am wondering If some
thing can't be done to remedy the
situation. TIMES READER.

tigated by the health board.

Trade War Feared

Mr.. Ford has let 1t be under
stood that he intends nothing of
the kind, that he is not going to
engage in trade war and that he
regards the automobile market as
affording room enough for all.
But Mr.. Ford Is human like the
rest of us, and the public suspects
that he will take such measures
as are necessary to dispose of his
car, and that something resem-
bling a trade war may result, no
matter how deep is his desire to
avoid 1t.

and Japan both claim to have certain paramount in
terests there and therein lies the danger.
Just China is in no position to stave off either
Russia or Japan Nor is Russia quite up to the job
of blocking such designs as Japan might have upon
the region 1t is clear therefore, that is the OPP
perfume moment for Japan to act. And be it said,
she is acting.

Gently launched what called "a friendship policy
in China This has gone by the boards In it's place
appears new positive policy" sponsored by Pre-
nier the Baron (GeneraD Tanaka, formerly vice chief
of the general staff and thrice minister of war.
Japan's new policy treats China proper and the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS region as separate entities. The
south and north "can fight their heads off," as a
Toxic daily recently expressed it, but in Manchuria
and Mongolia Japanese interests paramount and
will be protected come what may.
Within this territory Japan plans to build six new
railway lines, open up mines, exploit agricultural
lands and timber concessions. Under the circum-
stances this means that Japan plans to make it
virtually Japanese protectorate.
In Japans favor is another peculiar element.
Marshal Chang Tso-Ln-Chinese war lord made by
Japan-is not only dictator Manchuria but con-
trolls what passes for the government in Reking as
well. Which makes it possible for Japan TO inaug-
urate any kind OF policy she peaSes in Manchuria
and have it okayed by the government at Picking
Marshal Chang being both governments"
But what will be the attitude of the other powers?
Russia is to object to Japan interposing herself
between siberia and the Port of Vladivostok She
has already fought war over this territory. Will
she fight another?
Britain and France have no special interests at
stake north of Picking they are not likely to offer
opposition. In fact they might be little more than
pleased to see Japan give Russia another clubbing
inasmuch as such defeat would probably mean an
end to the communist regime at Moscow
Lastly, what would be the attitude of the United
States should Japan close in slowly but surely on
Manchura and eastern Mongolia? Five years ago
America and eight other powers. including Japan,

and administrative integrity of China" And the

policy. What about these?
Instead Of clearing up, the situation in the Far
East becomes more chaotic and more dangerous as
time passes. China-Greater China, at ieast-is fac

The tendency Of people to live in the

down church attendance. They drift
away from their city church, he says.
and do not keep up their spiritual
work Parents, he believes, are less
interested in their churches today than
they were a generation ago. and they
do not encourage their children to
identify themselves with churches.

courages church attendance.
Notable Gains Cited.
all churches are facing. DR.. Smith he.
lieves st. Thomas has made notable
gains. lie believes this is due partly
to the impressive architecture and the
modern conveniences of the church,
and to a greater extent to the fact
that the church has had only two
rectors. s-
Changing ministers frequently, DIR.
Smith believes, handicaps a church In
that its policies change and these are
reflected in it's appearance. In his -
years at st. Thomas he has carried
out one policy. that of conservatism.
and has worked to beautify the build.
ing along a clearly defined line. All
the additions and the windows and
other gifts have been made to har.
monlze with his plan. Many. gifts
have been refused because they did
not fit in with the scheme, but the
result has been that the church is an
architectural entity and one of the
most beautiful edifices in the city.
DIR. Smith hopes to spend the rest
OF hih life at st. Thomas. He has
just completed a book, twenty-five

DIR. C.. ERNEST SMITH TO MARK
LONG SERVICE AT ST. THOMAS
Rector Will Celebrate rs
Years in Local Pulpit at

Bishop TO 0fficiate at Rites
Tomorrow in Honor of
Churchman.

The twenty-fifth anniversary of the
rectorship of Rev. DR.. e.. Ernest Smith
will be celebrated tomorrow with spe'
cial services at st. Thomas Church,
when Bishop James u. Freeman will
preach. DIR. Smith on, November /
completed, a quarter century of service
at the church. Bishop Freeman will
administer communion and preach at
the il o'clock service.
DIR. Smith came to ST Thomas No
vember ]. 1902. from Baltimore, where
he was rector Of the Church of st.
Michael and All Angels, the largest
church in Baltimore. Previously he
had been in i'Newfoundia nd where he
went from Engla nd as q young man.
During his rectorship many i'm
provements have been made at st.
Thomas. When he began his work
there the church. which had been
erected during the rectorship of Rev.
J. a. Aspinwall.. had a debt of $1250O.
In 10 years this debt. with interest
amounting TO about 100000. was paid
off and on st. Thomas day, 1912, the
church was consecrated by Bishop
Harding.
Many improvements Made.
Many other improvements have been
made during the % years DR.. Smith
has been at st. Thomas These in
cude the installation OF large three
ma nual organ, building of IA $30, 900
rectory. extension of the chancel 3
feet eastward and construction of a
large parish hall. which was built un.
der the supervision of DR.. Smith.
DIR. Smith has taken an unusual in.
terest in all the details of improve.
ment of his church. lie is especially
proud of the 26 memorial windows
which have been erected according 40
a plan he laid down soon after he be-
came rector. The windows depict the
history OF the Episcopal Church from
it's earliest days to it's establishment
in America. All are the work of
Henry Holiday, noted English sculptor
and artist, who died last April at the
age Of S8. The last memorial window
erected was the jesse window, in the
west wall of the church.
During his rectorship the church
has raised and spent 81 900 900. In
spite OF the fact that it has paid a
large debt and spent a great deal of
money on improvements. the church
for several years has been contribut.
ing more than $4,000 a year to work
outside the church, DIR. Smith says.
Twenty-Five years ago there were
less than 200 families. with 800 com
municants; now there are APT families,
with 672 communicates. There have
been 526 baptisms. 1877 persons have
been confirmed. 369 marriages have
taken place and there have been 476
burials.
Faced Many Obstacles.
The growth Of the church has taken
place i'm the face Of what DR.. Smith
considers many difficulties. One of
these Is the fact that people are mov-
| ing to the suburbs. Whereas % years
ago his parish was concentrated In
the vicinity OF the church, now it EN-
