Our High Schools.
fBoston News Bureau.)

Just what education is or should be was unused upon in the groves of Athens in ancient days and all through the Middle Ages and it is just as fresh and controversial topic today With every change in the environment of life it presents new problems and questions
 That was brought sout when the teach CTS gathered in Boston 1t the end of February for their national convention. America in it's mass education with vastly increased task of expanded numbers, and with varied demands for new results in a changing age. has found heavy task confronting it's schools Natural enough then the degree of debate that evolved from convention discussions And the high school the still formative bridge between early youth and either college or job, was the natural focus of such discussion
 It is a dual task,-with it's two parts some times tending 10 conflict in emphasis President Lowell of Harvard keenly criticized the secondary schools for asserted failure to prepare adeouatelv Tor college, especially in contrast with what is achieved in other lands. There was spirited renIv Tn detense Of the mass "'democratic' side of the case as affecting the myriads who never may go on further to college That dual problem brought out by such disputation is what must III the course of time, be somehow wrought ont Hence the value now of such airing of not unani- nous views
 Is the city or the country getting all il should from the school plants it has had to provide in such extent and at such cost? That plain issue was raised by the politically deposed Chicago Superintendent when he declared that the high schools must "get down to work and deliver the goods and amplifed this by adding: If they don't do that, the chambers of commerce. the Lowels, the mayors and governors, will succeed in their protests about the costs and our mag nfcent high schools will follow in the tracks of Napoleon the Little to some Sedan" None of us would be stingy with the program; but also there is increasing thought about both costs and results. ssa
 To which the Federal Commissioner of Educa- tion contributed a pertinent idea, while depre- eating unrestrained lack of harmony, in suggest ing the need through all possible agencies be- ginning with his own bureau of more educa- tiona research that will bring us complete and accurate data" The job might begin with the ways the funds raised and spent.
 It is a scattered perhaps necessarily dis jeinted plant, in host of units that is strug- glfng with this job of secondary education It l is in many ways a motley collection with wide diversity in equipment and efficiency Survey or research to get Illuminating facts about it's opera tion would seem worth while Then more thought about both aims and methods of achievemnt

SEEDING THE DRAW" IN POLITICS.

"columnst' in the New York Times takes Gov Fuller of Massachusetts and Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler to task for admonishing the Re- publican Party 1t must nominate the best man It has, Gov Fuller said Secretary Hoover
 Tn order to beat Gov AT Smith, He thinks inc controlling minds of the two big parties should emulate the practice followed in tennis tourna- ments known as seeding the draw which insures against the best players killing one another off Deiore the hnals, arguing that "We are not so ricn m candidates of the highest caliber that we can anord to doom frst-rate man to defeat
 as IS bound to happen under the present const;
 tuition Of the United States which provides for only one President" Thus with Hoover on- posed to an Al Smith in the defeat of either inc country loses the opportunity for securing the services of frst-rate executive. The thing to in is to arrive at some means of determinine ;n advance whether it is Democratic or Republican year If the Democrats are going to win. the Republicans might nominate Big Bill Thompson

The prediction that speed of a mile a min ute for motor-cars will be common thing in the near future and that it will be safe is made py an official of one of the automobile com panles, but it is possible he is thinking only of pedestrians and is not taking into account the possibility of cars running into each other

 That would be fine solution to of the problems of partisan politics. However, the great American game of politics cannot be play ed in just that fashion Quadriennially hope springs in the breasts of the two big parties. Each hears what it regards the clarion call of the country to rescue it from the other.

More or Less True

More or Less True
 Hair is something women have to fool with all their lives, but men reach the time when they need comb and brush like q modern girl needs a button hook.
 4 man doesn't object 10 his wife trying to improve her looks, but he'd like to remind her that her cooking, temper and opinion of him also could stand it to be improved upon.
 A good meal to some men is simply warning that they are going to be asked to shell out for the price of a new dress.
 What the average married man doesn't know is where his salary has gone and where the money is coming from to pay all the bills that are due.
 If bobbed hair eventually does cause badness among the ladies, the nose is going to have to share the services of the powder puff with the dome.
 Another reason why a lot 0. men enjoy the office more than home is because around home they can't act like they owned and were boss of the earth.
 Now that we can sec how funny most of them look, We begin to understand why women used to be so careful not to let their legs show
 Probably the reason most mea think their wives lack sense Of humor is because the average wife has something more impo'- tant 10 do than to waste her time trying to humor her lord ana master.
