Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-10-09

A survey Of educational institutions indicates that
in many states there is great waste because Of duplica-
ton of school facilities and teachers. A modern pro-
gressive trend is showing the possibilities of economy
by consolidating small school districts and reducing
overhead by large scale operations.
1t is estimated by Vance II. Evans, secretary of the
California Taxpayers League in that state, that the
pooling Of purchasing for thousands of elementary
school districts will result in an annual saving Of a
million dollars. The pooled purchasing power of many
schools is naturally greater than a single school, he
points out.
Outside Of the important economies affected. con-
solidation has served to improve facilities and gives
the pupils wider opportunities and a less restricted
mental horizon. The best possible teaching and equip
mert can be furnished at a lower cost under this
system.
Education is one of the largest items that take the
tax dollars. Plans such as this, that effect economies
without lowering the efficiency and quality Of educa-
tion, should be seriously considered by progressive
states as well as those public officials and individuals
who are interested in educational progress.

The World and All
how TO SPOIL A CHILD
By Charles Z. Driscon

Today / rode on a bus, and in the bus was a little
boy, about three years old, all dressed up in a fetching
yellow plush suit. Maybe it wasn't plush, but il was
handsome, anyhow. and the boy had a pretty smile and
he appeared to be just a winning little boy. with the
makings Of quite a man in him.
But two relatives and three strangers were busy az
the age-old task of running the child. Maybe one of
the relatives was the boys mother and the other might
have been an aunt. These two had the y~oungster
rather well spoiled already. They did not once take
their gaze off him nor the devotional smiles off their
faces. The strangers followed the lead Of the rela-
tives. Three women who were in no way responsible
for the child kept ching and ahing and smiling and
boosting the pretty boy about with their hands and
eyes and feet.
The boy was using what little sense the Lord gave
him to get away from all this show business. He was
trying to climb over all the seats in the bus, without
regard to the occupants of the seats, in an effort 10
put distance and obstacles between himself and his
wen-meaning tormentors.
You see, the little chap had already learned tina.
nc didn't have to pay any heed to the rights of others.
He seemed totally oblivious Of the persons into whose
faces and stomachs he was driving his heels and fi.,.
He climbed into one seat many times. and then slid
off TO the floor on his stomach. The lady who was
occupying that seat seemed vaguely annoyed, but the
adoring strangers followed Tommy about. encouraging
him to commit further depredations.
nay just one way 20 spoil a child, and y very
common one. There are, for instance. parents who
constantly show off to their own children. Parents
who have never been taken very seriously by the adults
with whom they have associated. and therefore revel

before their wondering children.
Such parents never admit mistakes or errors 10

that Papa and Mama know everything. They perform

youngsters to render them homage.

Republican Farm Relief

II would doubtless be more edifying TO the farmers
Of the Northwest who arc being deluged with repubIi-
can promises Of farm relief, if the republican cam
paign managers could point to a single instance in
which they have made good the pledges given agricuI-
ture in the past eight years.
Republican speakers jeer at the pledge given BY
Governor Smith, asserting that he knows nothing Of
the farmers problems" and indicating that all wisdom
is, incorporated in the republican party. They assert
that his promise is what the fiery Senator Borah
termed "a snare and a delusion.'
No one can doubt that the republican leader, arc
familiar with the problems Of agriculture. Those
problems have been dinned in their ears for eight years.
Delegation after delegation Of farmers have gone to
Washington TO make their appeals to various COM
mittees. to President Coolidge. republican congress
men. senators. and even the lobbyists whom the special
interests maintain at the national capitol. If the re-
publcans are not familiar with the farm problem, il is
because they are 50 disinterested that they gave no
heed to the appeals Of the farmers.
The republican party cannot plead ignorance as its
reason for refusing to grant the farmers relief; and
the farmers are not 50 ignorant that they expect relief
from the party that for eight years has had the power
to equalize the tariff and pass farm relief legislation.
The farmers realize. from bitter experience, that the
pledge now made to grant them the same measure Of
protection and legislative consideration that have been
granted industry, is merely a gesture-as empty as the
pledges of former years.
Governor Smith is not a farmer. and frankly admits
Its. However, the farmers problem IS purely economic
"a problem similar to those with which Smith has
frequently been confronted. though on a more extern
sive scale. He proposes TO solve the problem as ne
has solved the economic problems Of the state Of New
York-by modelling the best minds Of the nation and
securing immediate action to remedy the situation.
That the republican national committee is worried
BY the situation in the West and Middle West is in
dicsted by the army Of speakers they are pouring into
that section. Republican leaders, who at the Kansas
CITY convention jeered at the army of farmers who
sought recognition Of their rights, are now f~ranticaliy
calling upon the farmers to rally to the support Of
-. arrsrd old party" to defeat the democratic nomi-
!. Tho has pledged them the relief the republican
-..tv Ia, refused to extend. Apparently. they do not
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-10-09

realize the inconsistency Of their position and their
pleas, but the farmers fully appreciate the incongruity
Of the pledges the speakers are nov offering after
having failed for eight years to keep faith with the
agricultural interests.
ave must maintain high protection for farm prod
ucts." was the burden Of Senator Borsh's message to
the farmers in his recent speaking tour throughout the
wheat zone, but the senator failed to comment on the
fact that the unqualified protection of the present
tariff law has proved anything but advantageous to
the farmers, and that under its provisions there has
been a steady decline in farm prices which has prac-
tically wiped out the farmers margin of profit.
