and workmanship cost more. They are
no better than pre-war shoes. Only
one side Of the equation has been
changed. The corn costs more because
labor. farm machinery and taxes are
higher, There lis no improvement In the
corn.
Education. however, is a much more
costly process largely because it is a new
process--very materially altered in prac-
tice since 1918.
1t costs more to educate the individual
because more attention is paid to the
individual, because the economic trend
Of the times toward Standardization and
mass production is being reversed in this
operation. The schools are going back
to the principle of individual workman
ship and are giving up the factory"
methods of educating by groups.
More and more, each piece of material
used in the process Is being treated as a
separate problem.
1t costs more. 1t probably will con-
tinue to cost more and more, even II the
costs of labor and tools go back to pre-
war levels.
But the present costs can be doubled,
tripled and quadrupled without much
legitimate public protest If the evolving
methods actually produce better prod
ucts
In this field the standard of efficiency
is the quality of the product itself and
not the cost of producing it.
Education still has long way to go
before 1t absorbs an undue proportion
of the public expenditures.

ordinate interest Of man. The human
being is an individual first and only
secondarily a member Of society, In
which capacity his interests are affected
by political conventions.
His first and his most permanent In
terests are In himself, in the survival of
his body and, after that, of his soul.
Self-preservation still is the first law Of
nature. The interests Of a man sick
of a supposedly incurable disease, or of
the man waiting to be hanged, certainly
are not primarily in the next President
of the United States. 1t is In respect to
this type of interests that history is
made at the annual meetings of the
American Medical Association.
Here once each year an accounting
is rendered of the progress made in in
suring human survival, in fitting the
body and the mind to combat success
fully changing conditions, In defeating
the malevolent forces that threaten the
race with eventual determination.
Seldom is one of these sessions held
without at least one important an
nouncement. Last year In Washington,
for instance. DR.. Noguchi of the Rookie
feller Institution announced the isola-
ton Of the organism responsible for
trachoma, almost the last act of the
great Japanese scientist before his
heroic death in Africa while making
further studies of yellow fever.
This is the sort of history that en-
dures. 1t is broader and more funda-
mental than the sort of history ordi-
narily made at political conventions
and it means more to the human indi-
vidual. Only incidentally is 1t American
history. Eventually 1t affects the nomad
of the Tur&estan deserts as much as it
affects the man in Washington.
At Minneapolis there doubtless will
be some discussion of the great problem
OF cancer. It is unlikely that any cure
Will be announced. That, unfortunately,
seems still long way in the future.
But the chances are that any notable
progress toward solution will be a
more fundamental contribution to the
history of the human race than possibly
could be furnished by any political con-
vention.

An Account of Stewardship.

In his address at the annual bust
ness meeting" Of the Federal Govern
ment last evening President Coolidge
sounded two notes distinctly and en-
phatlcally. One was of congratulation
upon the remarkable achievement of a
continued reduction of Federal taxes
during the past seven years. together
with the reduction of the public debt
to an "!nconceivable" degree, and the
other was of warning that expenditures
have been brought down to perhaps tie
lowest possible point and that continued
prosperity depends upon the people, and
not upon the actions of the admins
tration
No question is possible regarding the
extraordinary achievement of a total
tax reduction since 1921 amounting at
this time to two billion dollars a year.
while the public debt has been reduced
by more than six and third billions.
nearly one-half of that reduction being
In excess Of the requirements of the
law. The total saving in interest dur
ing this period has amounted to nearly
a billion dollars.
This performance has been made
possible by two factors, persistent
economies In governmental expenditure
and extraordinary national prosperity.
Good management has marked the
handling Of the Governments finances
at every stage. The budget system has
more than justified itself. The annual
business meetings" OF the Federal ad-
ministration have co-ordinated the
forces and made adherence to the prin-
ciples Of budgetary control possible.
Departing somewhat from the strict
theme Of the occasion, the President
last evening called attention to the
mounting costs Of State and municipal
government in this country. While the
United States has reduced Its expcndi-
tures by two billions, the State, county.
municipal and other taxing agencies OF
the country have increased their costs
by three and half billions. This
steady increase. the President says, Is
"a menace TO prosperity. IT. cannot be
ignored. 1t cannot longer continue
without disaster. 1t viii not correct it.
