and gave a report on the progress
of her school. She is getting
good support and before the year
is over we expect to see Roose-

are working on the art contest.
School colors and dramatization
numbers are being chosen for the

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

A survey Of educational Institutions indicates tina,
in many states there is great waste because OF dupliea-
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.
II is estimated by Vance H. Evans, secretary OF the
California Taxpayers League in that state, that TIE
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
ment can be furnished al 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.

IL would doubtless be more e~difying to the farmers
Of the Northwest who arc being deluged with rcpubli-
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 agricul-
ture in the past eight years.
Republican speakers ieer at the pledge given by
Governor Smith, asserting that he knows nothing N
the farmers problems" andsindicating that all wisdom
is incorporated in the republican party. They asser.
that his promise is what the fiery Senator Borah
termed "a snare and a delusion."
No one can doubt that the republican leaders are
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. 70 President Coolidge. republican congress
men, senators. and even the lobbyists whom the special
interests maintain at the national capitol. If the re-
publicans are not familiar with the farm problem, ii Is
because they are so disinterested that they gave no
heed to the appeals Of the farmers.
The republican party cannot plead ignorance as It's
reason for refusing to grant the farmers relief: and
the farmers are not SO 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 beeA
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 mobilizing the best minds Of the nation and
securing immediate action to remedy the situation.
That the republican national committee is worried
nv the situation in the West and Middle West is in
dicated 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 frantiealiy
calling upon the farmers . rally 70 the support Of
A.. arrsnd old party to defeat the democratic nOmi-

The World and All
HOW TO SPOIL A CHILD
By Charles r. Driscol,

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 it 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 at
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 rcla-
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 to
put distance and obstacles between himself and his
well-meaning tormentors.
You see, the little chap had already learned tina.
ne 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 fist.
lie 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 Expectations.
JNN ~ "a u sHoi n Cnlld, ana a 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
N the opportunity to make demigods of themselves
before their wondering children.
such parents never admit mistakes or errors 10
their children. They like to make the children believe
that Papa and Mama know everything. They perform
selt-consciously before the children, and expect the
youngsters to render them homage.
Parents VINO pursue such 2 course are always found
out' even BY the dumbest children. A bright child will
see through a pretentious and fourflushinp parer, >,
about the age Of five. You can fool a backward child
until he is about ten or twelve.
Show-off parents have liars and show-offs for their
pains after they have reared their children in their
own way While the boys and girls may grow M 20
pretend and play-act just like Dad and Nom. they can
see through the game all the same. and they have ut.1o
respect Tor the parents who tried to fool them rs thew
now try to fool others.

ceive a cellarful more Of bottled COM

The whole transaction is as strict
" according to Hoyle 81 interna-
tional law can make il. up to the
point where the hooch passes out Of
the foreign diplomats hands.
Once turned over TO the high gov
eminent official and deposited in his
cellar. if he should be raided, an awk-
ward situation might develop-over
the question OF possession" The
American government official could
hardly plead diplomatic immunity"
But who ever heard Of n high
government officials cellar being
raidedi
Oh yes, Washington has bootleg
gers, but folk high in official life
have no occasion to patronize them.
Not while diplomatic immunity
survives.

iety. Prohibitions decencies will be
observed in the national capital SO

realize the Inconsistency Of their position and their
pleas. but the farmers fully appreciate the ineonsruify
Of the pledges the speakers are now offering after
having failed for eight years to keep faith with the
agricultural interests.
Eve must maintain high protection for farm prod
ucts," was the burden of Senator Bcrah'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 prae-
tically wiped out the farmers margin Of profit.
