THANKSGIVING in distinctly an American ~institu-
Hon, and there is no nation or people who have more
xor which 10 be thankful than those who dwell under
the protection of the Stars and Stripes.
Do the American people fully appreciate the boun-
lies bestowed upsn them; do they realize the full sig
nificanee Of the day and the fact that among all the
nations Of the world there is none upon whom the
blessings Of a Divine Providence have been more liber-
ally showered?
when the Pilgrim Fathers set aside a day upon which
TO render thanks to God for His mercies and bounties
ere custom has prevailed throughout America. The
ewes Of those first settlers on the rugged New England
coast were not closed 70 the trials and ~hardships they
had endured in establishing civilization in a wild and
undesirable wilderness. They knew exactly what they
had 10 be thankful for-that they we're still alive; that
they had wrested an existence from the rocky soil Of
the New World; and that they had the strength to car
~ on for posterity.
To them America Of today would have appeared a
Utopia. It IS hardly probable that the most optimistic
OF that hardy band could have visioned the transforna-
zion OF three centuries-the teeming life, the modern
eonveniences. almost unlimited prosperity Of the great
eat among the nations Of the world. To them, on that
rocky New England shore, the mere fact that n DIVINE
Providence had protected them in their hazardous jour
new across the stormy Atlantic and that the sterile soil
had produced sufficient to sustain life while they were
establishing themselves, was in itself a cause OF devout
thanksgiving TO the Creator.
The American Of the present day snatched from the
A2
convenicnces at every hand and transformed back TO
those days Of the early colOnists, would consider his
condition almost unbearable and certainly no cause
FOR Thanksgiving. Those eolonists, suddenly transplant
ed into our present-day environment, would think that
we had no cause for discomfort, anxiety or pessimism.
But greater than the material advantages and pros
perity the people Of America now enjoy, as q nation
and as individuals, is the ability 10 feel thankfulness-
Honest. cheerful gratitude is a constructive force
which stimulates the energies and stirs that spiritual
mower which is the heritage OF every individual. TO
the truly thankful comes greater cause for thankful
ness. and Thanksgiving Day is a vastly more important
occasion IN our lives than the feast with which It Is
celebrated.
The true significance Of the day should be inn
pressed upon every American as il was done during
those wears. three centuries ago, when the families
gathered around their meager board 20 render thanks
for Divine mercies and. guidance. The spiritual force
OF those men and women became in fact the guiding
force Of the nations destiny and will continue the
guiding force 20 long rs the spirit Of true thankfulness
20 our Creator controls the American people.

The World and All
FURNISHING AT SCHOOL

Recently a New Jersey boy Of fourteen years was
arrested for breaking his teachers nose. II developed
that the teacher was engaged in pulling the boys hair
when she suffered the punch on the nose. Also, that
the squabble began because the boy was alleged to have
failed properly 70 salute the flag 1T the beginning OF q
recitation period.
Another case. A Brooklyn boy, fifteen, had his
teacher, a man in this case, arrested on q d~isorderIy
conduct charge. because the teacher tried to soad the
boy into a fight with a boy Of superior strength. The
teacher explained that this was his method Of punish
ing the boy for failing 70 sing "The Star spangled
Banner"
Now, I'm all for patriotism. in school and out. !
do not know whether very frequent saiuting Of the flag
is conducive to patriotism, but ! am willing TO concede
that il is if the teachers, by majority vote, say SO. /
Do know that ! never could sing "The Star Spangled
Banner in school or out OF school. This Brooklyn
boy says he is in like case. He simply can't sing, and
he never tries, because he feels sorry for those who
have TO listen to him.
! must confess that my sympathy IL with the pu-
pills in cases Of this kind. I believe that corporal pun
ishment Of children is too serious n matter to entrust
70 school teachers, much as / respect the teaching pro
fession. Furthermore, ii Is too much to expect or a
teacher that he thrash and pound and beat and other
wise maui children that are not his own. Teachers
have more important things to do.
The Brooklyn teacher says he has used his punish
ment system for years. When a boy does something
henious, like failing to sing a difficult hymn, this
teacher sets him 70 fighting with a boy who Is q bet
ter fighter, both wearing boxing gloves. This, in my
opinion, is a brutalizing and shameful procedure, and
ought 10 be stopped either by law or by forcefuI inter
vention Of parents.
II Is extremely unwise for any teacher. especial

ment upon a fourteen-year-old boy. The boy NAV feel

may result in : broken nose for teacher. 1t did in the
case under review.
Now. ] do not relish the idea OF any wcman's nose
being broken, and ] think the whole proceeding exceed
ingly unfortunate. But ! believe the way for teachers
70 avoid such unpleasant incidents is to leave the
physical punishment Of children. IL any, 10 the parents.
Teachers have enough TO do IL they do their best to in

by pulling his hair, especially II he Is somebody elses

President Against Tariff Cut

President Coolidge will vigorously oppose any move
e reduce the tariff schedules as part Of any farm re-
lief program that may be proposed, according to n re-
cent article in the Washington Star, which asserts
that the president is convinced that downward revision
Of the tariff would not help the American farmer.
Farm leaders who are in close contact with the ad-
ministration. assert there are two avenues through
which tariff revision can aid the agricultural situation
first BY reducing the tariff on commodities the farm
or il compelled TO buy, and, second, By increasing the
tariff on farm products to the point where they will
receive protection similar 70 that extended the manu-
featuring industry.
whether President Coolidge would oppose a hori-
xontal increase on the agricultural tariff has not been
disclosed, but In view Of the stand taken in regard 70
the industrial tariff schedules it would hardly be con
sistent for the administration 70 offer vigorous opposi-
tion 20 upward revision
While discussing the recent report Of the National
Industrial Conference. headed by fOruer Secretary Of
Commerce Naeel. which suggested as a means Of inn
proving the agricultural situation a reduction in the
tariff. President Coolidge il reported to have stated
uhat he could not see how agriculture could be aided In
ais manner. and made it plain he would oppose any
effort 70 effect such revision.
The president expressed the opinion that experience
hns shown that the policy Of the government should be
70 encourage legitimate business Of an kinds, and to
do everything possible 10 increase home consumption.
one part Of the conference report met the approval
Of the president. and that was the section which recon-
mended n revision Of rail rates rs an added means Of
assisting the farmer. He has frequently expressed
himself as favoring rate revision, not only for the
purpose Of assisting agriculture, but to benefit the car
riers.
Farmers organizations throughout the United
States are practically a unit in demanding either re-
vision Of the industrial tariff downward or equaliza-
ton 81 the agricultural schedules which viii give them
the same protection the Manufacturers enjoy. The ad-
ministration has repeatedly turned deaf ear to this
demand. and manufacturers have asserted that Il would
result in increased cost a. living which would necsssi-
tate higher wages in the industrial plants. However,
many Of the industrial leaders recognize the justice Of
the farmers demands, and several Of the ~wheelhorsss"
cf the administration may be found allied with the
agricultural bloc unless the tariff equalization propo-
sition IL given the consideration it merits.
