COWS MUST BE TAIL
LIGHTED.

1t appears that if a Connecticut COW
ventures or is led on a highway after
dark she must have lantern tied to
her tail, whether she resents such an
indignity or not. Morris Miller, far
mer in the State named, faces a S2500
damage suit because he failed to put
a tail-light on his COW after dusk, and
the law requiring him to do so is said
to be plain" While Mr.. Miller was
leading his COW along highway an
automobile turned the corner and be-
cause the cows tail was dark" the
machine ran into her and one of its
occupants was injured. So the COW,
or her owner, was brought into court
for causing an injury by disregardlng
the traffic rules. Farmers might hold
that motor-car headlights should show
up even a Ozark" COW and thus pre-
vent collision, but the point is made
that, though this may be true on a
straight highway, mere turn of the
road puts danger in an unlighted
cows tail; and, moreover, that farm
ers are motorists themselves and the
law is for their protection as well as
for that of the general public.
So the farmer must give his COW a
proper tail light after dark or take
the consequences. But what about the
COW. that escapes bounds and ventures
abroad on its own-will her owner be
equally responsible? AS nobody will
ever provide tail-lights for stray dogs
or cats, to say nothing of skunks, it is
obvious that the Connecticut law fails
to cover all contingencies. 1t is obvi-
Gus, further, that the complexities of
our civilization due to the automobile
age, are such as were never imagined
by our ancestors in their widest
dreams.

GAINS IN EDUCATION

The educational trends and achieve
ments of 1928 provide the only safe
basis for a reliable estimate on the
educational outlook for 1929. Ac-
cording to this view the unprecedent-
ed progress in 1928 becomes the foun-
dation for still greater gain in 1929.
The people as whole are more
than ever before showing confidence
and pride in their schools. They turn
the cold shoulder to college and foun-
dation presidents who would limit
high school and college opportunities
to the talented and to the few in order
to reduce the costs of education. The
people are giving enthusiastic support
to school authorities through parent
teacher associations and through civic
and other organizations. Citizens un-
derstand teachers better and teachers
understand citizens better.
The provisions in cities and states
for retirement allowances for the
IuOIG duGuudIG ltdSllSI-ICnuIS lCS
tons have increased teaching effici-
ency throughout the nation. The legal
and medical professions now place the
teaching profession on par with
their own. There is excellent team
work in the profession.
The conditions which followed the
war created difficult problems in edu-
cation as well as in business, industry
and social life. There is a clear de-
mand for higher standards of ethics
in every phase of modern activity.
Teachers, like the other groups, are
working on these problems. There is
an effort to create higher standards of
scholarship in the schools and to keep
them free from partisan or CONNER
cial influences. The public will never
again allow selfish agencies, patent
medicine advertisers or social agita-
tors to invade the schools with their
propaganda.

1928 BANKING

Business in 1928 marched into new
high ground 1t enters 1929 with a
preponderance of favorable factors
and should go forward at satisfac-
tory pace.
The year was one of superlatives.
Steel, automobile and construction in
dustries reached new high points.
Distribution, including wholesale and
retail trade, mail order and chain
store sales, set new records. Profits
exceeded even the record of 1926. La
Dor was wisely employed at good
wages. Agriculture incomes equalled
or exceeded 1927.
Although 1928 saw increases in bus
mess failures, tightening of CONNER
cial credit and weak spots in coal,
textile and petroleum industries, it is
safe to assert that as a whole the Am
erican people are enjoying a larger
measure of prosperity than ever be-
fore.
The American banking system gave
ample evidence of it's fundamental
soundness and progressive adapata-
bility to changing conditions. Despite
loss of several hundred million dollars
of gold through export and great
amounts of credit absorbed by stock
exchanges, there was an ample sup
ply of credit at reasonable rates for
business needs. We not only financed
great undertakings in this, country
but loaned great amounts for financ-
ing foreign projects. The inherent
soundness of our Federal Reserve
System was ably demonstrated. Cour-
age and resourcefulness of the banks
achieved both proper trusteeing of
our financial resources and their use
in channels which make for the broad
er distribution Of prosperity and of
well-being.
There is every justification for reas-
enable optimism regarding the future,
says Craig B. Hazelwood, president
of the American Bankers Association.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MT. LAKE PARK.
The Ostrich Never Escaped Danger
by Hiding Its Head in the Sand.

by HlQlnS It's Hedu III TIE OdIiu.
There are probably a half dozen
permanent residents of the Park who
are doing some constructive thinking
looking to the betterment of this COM
munity.
Most of the others are assuming a
whats the use" attitude and seem in
clined to let things slide.
They have an inferiority complex
as to the rehabilitation of the Park
Then, too, there are others who,
whenever a criticism is voiced relative
to conditions or management say,
"sh-h; don't say anything out loud,
you will make some one mad"
They seem to think that some Of
our summer colony members will hear
it and think we are not progressive.
There is no danger of that-they
already know it.
We suggest that at least 80 per cent
of the summer residents of the Park
are enthusiastic about it and will will
ingly join any proper movement look
ing to its betterment, either in form
of government or otherwise.
To this "sh-h" class, let US point out
that no good thing was ever accom-
plished except by means of legitimate
and constructive agitation. Construc-
| tive criticism should always be well
come.
1t is not intended to try to tell the
gentlemen or the owning organization
how to run their or it's business.
We ascribe to them the very high
est motives in their efforts to uplift
the submerged tenth, although we may
possibly not agree with all their poll
cies.
For instance, we believe earnestly
and sincerely, that inasmuch as Noun
tain Lake Park has always been adj
vertised and known as a Christian re-
sort, those in control could do nothing
| better to show an earnest of its en-
| beavers than TO ADOPT program nav
ing for its object the making Of this
resort so attractive that people with
in striking distance would be drawn
here with perfect assurance that not
only would they secure rest and re-
sultant health themselves, but that the
environment would be such that their
1
children would be taught the advan-
tage of close association with the peo-
pie and things that ma Ike for better
and fuller life.
We have no doubt but that the As
ISOLATION, if properly and earnestly
approached, would give this matter
favorable consideration.
The Church and affiliated organiza-
tons should be and we believe are,

The stage is set for a rapio advance
in education. There are more than
100000 young people in high schools
and more than 100000 in colleges.
In 1929 the following items will stand
out in the record of growth and
achievement: Relating the work of
the school to the work and the needs
of the home and community; carrying
forward the movement for more eX-
tensive character training in the
schools; improvement of courses of
study and a better articulation be-
tween subjects end courses and be-
tween schools on different levels; the
growth of professional spirit on the
part of teachers; increased attention
to the philosophy of teaching and
shaping educational policies, methods
and all work to meet the needs of the
child.
