We have read stories of the old Wild
West when a little band of cavalry
notified in the nick of time. would dash
across the country and arrive barely III
time to save some little garrison be-
leaguered by Indians, but surely none
of these episodes is so thrilling and
picturesque as the act of Mai Rowell
and his companions.
The second Distinguished Flying Cross
was awarded for heroism in this same
engagement at Ocotal-a little town
whose name henceforth is sure of a
certain degree of immortality In Amer
ican history. It was given to Lieut..
Wayne D. Boyden of the Marine Bar

observations are pertinent
An Outstanding Achievement.
The evolution of popular education in
the United States has but recently, and
still to very inconSiderable extent, re-
fected anything in the nature of wide
spread recognition of the demand for in
creased facilities for the adult. Our
progress as a country in meeting the
need for public instruction of the youth
Of the United States is one of the out
standing achievements Of our people.
The coming generation, independently
of the economic handicap of irdivid-
uals, and without reference to sex or
color, will enter upon the duties of
citizenship well equipped to preserve
what is best in our social life; and with
a solid preparation for the requirement
of those special skills and aptftudes
which will enable each to make his
specific contribution to the technical.
the business and the professional life OF
our country.
Thanks to the development and ex-
pansion of college and university edu-
cation. a small number of those thus
prepared by the public schools and en-
tering the period of maturity Suf-
fering under no economic handicap, are
enabled to utilize these educational
facilities and build for personal and ma
tional success upon the foundation laid
by our system of universal public edu-
cation.
AristOcracy of Culture.
There is a school of thought. If 1t
may be dignified by such an appellation,
or at least q well defined attitude on
the part of many. that just as there
is an aristocracy Of wealth in America,
so there should be one of culture, edu-
cation and of calling, and that the ma
tional interests will be best served 5y
the coalescence of these several con-
ditions in the individuals who compose
this minority group. HewerS of wood
and drawers of water will continue to
constitute the majority Of any popula-
ton, and according to this view point.
the public schools give them all the
preparation for complete living in their
condition that is considered compatible
with efficiency and contentment in
their calling or desirable for persons
of their status
On the other hand, If there is one ma
tional trait which more readily dis
tinguishes the Americans from all peo-
Piles of history and from other existing
countries. 1t is the generosity with which
those who have the capacity to sur
mount obstacles and rise from lower
condition to higher one are welcomed
into the free companionship of the
successful.
Lowering the Handicap.

circle granted merely as the reward fol
