NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Industrial

The latter arose directly from the
resumption of gold shipments to
London, after lapse of thirteen

Unqualified Endorsement OF the
Chamber of Commences plan of max.
Ing the exposition an annual affair
and commentator of the zeal which
has been displayed by that body in
bringing the industrial and CONNER
cial resources of the National Capital
before the public by means of the
exposition has been expressed by
Engineer Commissioner Col. j.
Franklin Bell.
while Identification of the city
must go forward, it is essential that
We do not forget or neglect the BUSH
hess expansion of Washington, ;"
Commissioner Bell stated. There is
plenty of room for further expansion
along business and commercial lines
and Washington will be greatly bene-
fitted by such undertakings as the
present exposition.
I'VE must not neglect that very
practical aspect of modern life which
Gays that healthy community must
have an outlet for its surplus energy,
points Of contact where its youth
T.lay find opportunity for livelihood,
and units which will provide a funda-
mentally strong bulwark upon which
to build sound economic structure,
In so doing, a very clear and we'll
planned course must be followed.
That the industrial exposition Is
q logical step in this whole scheme
I am thoroughly convinced. That
the Washington Chamber OF Com
rnerce is deserving Of the full sup
port and Endorsement Of those who
have the welfare Of the city and the
well-being Of its citizens at heart,
there can be no question.
THE industrial exposition in all
truth might well be rallying point
for those thousands in the National
Capital who feel that Washington
can be a practical and economically
self-sufficient community, as well as
the most beautiful capital in the
world.
Development may take place
within and without the District of
Columbia. There Is very definite
place within the city for goodly
number of commercial endeavors
which now are not to be found here.
There is, similarly, very definite
place within hailing distance Of the
District Of Columbia boundary line
for certain types of-industry, which,
possibly, may have no place in the
National Capital, but the economic
benefits of which the Capital City
can well utilize.
''Washington's problem is to CO.
ordinate these two factors, and, ]
believe, to aid the Chamber Of Com
merce in the steps it is taking to
bring about a situation which view
as most desirable one. / have in
the past pledged my support toward
this end, and am indeed happy to
have an opportunity to do so once
again. It is a big work and an Inn
portant one-one which affects in a
vital fashion the future course of
events in the National Capital. I
urge upon its citizens the desirable.

By LEONARD A. BARRETT
INADEQUATE EDUCATION

THE most serious question con-
Il fronting education today is wheth-
er the present generation is going to
be more Christian or more pagan.
The responsibility for the answer lies
at the door of universities, colleges
and the public schools. The rising
generation is being educated in a
world surcharged with jazz, the spirit
of an intense competition and the law
OF the survival of the fittest. The
tremendous task of developing a
Christian idealism is therefore mat
ter of community interest.
AS a preparation for this task our
institutions Of learning are rendering
most valuable service. No more ade-
.Quate system of education can be
found anywhere. Upon this task Of
preparation for world citizenship our
youth devote five days week of from
four to six hours each. This is equiv
alent to about one hundred and twen-
ty hours a month or about twelve hun
dred hours for an average school
year devoted almost entirely to the
study Of the arts and sciences.
Does this method of education, elab-
crate as it Is, furnish all or even the
most important requisites for success
in the economic world? Success, like
the spirit of democracy, rests upon
fixed and unalterable standards. They
are the norms of a Christian ideal
ism. Upon the development Of these
standards the average youth spends
about one-half an hour a week, in
contrast to the one hundred and twen-
~ hours devoted to secular education.
The task of imparting the knowl-
edge of moral norms is also frequent
" assigned to a poorly prepared Sun
day school teacher or Is undertaken
by an inadequate system of religious
education. This factor cannot be ig-
nored in our system Of education If
the present generation Is to make an
adequate contribution to the develop
ment Of the social order. Shall the
standards of a pagan or Christian
philosophy of life rule the future2 The
problem is one for which education is
responsible.
