THE MENACE OF THE REDS

The press has made much fuss over Communistic activities in the States. Without doubt there is Communistic activity. But whatever activity there is will not sway the multitude of clear thinking Americans. Such be liefs become serious only wher taken seriously. The loud, soap box harangueing and red flag waving merely eXcites the curi- osity of the rank and file. But the police reflect aspersions up- on itself by their brutal efforts to disband gatherings of Com munists" with larger groups of curiosity and excitement seekers and idle labor.
 The easiest way to rid the country of Communistic activity is to destroy fertile ground '>- making a contented, satisfied citizenry. Insure work that will finance the needs of ordinary cultural life and the masses will be too contented to bother with any ism foreign to American government. Let dissatisfaction

FACING GRIM FACTS

The average man uses his newspaper as an economic bible. He knows only what he sees in tn papers" His vision and un- derstanding of present day prob lems is limited to the matter he absorbs from his papers. When he reads that the country is prosperous" and so insofar as ne is concerned, unless he is be- .ng forced to cinch up on his
 belt, the country is prosperous,
 The press for the past several years has been promising pros perity-a deferred full dinner pail" and the press has discount ed persistent rumors of serious unemployment by the repeated assurances that the business sit uation was good.
 Professor Benjamin M. Squires in an article in The Christian Century is authority for the statement that one industry em- ploying 4O,OOO hands turned away 250,000 persons seeking Wark at the gate. That Illinois Industries had five million appli- cations for employment; ten people seeking every job. This naturally means that many more were after the same jobs.
 The recent "Communistic" de- monstrations were shown to be not so much demonstrations by Communists and other "reds" as a demonstration of dissatisfied unemployed. It cannot be de nied that unemployment has reached serious proportions and to continue the propaganda that is inconsistent With the facts is merely to discredit the organiza- tions and press which set forth such views. Thousands without means of a decent living does not bespeak a healthy economic condition of American industry.

ABOARD THE BANDWAGON
 OF REBELLION From The Seattle St ar

Up in the northwest corner of the United States a very fair sized sort of rebellion seems to be under way.
 The Grand Old Party is out of hand, off the reservation. It de- mands modification of the dry law, a fair deal for the west in tariff making, denounces MT. Hoover's league court plans, ig- nores it's congressional repre- sentative, snubs it's senator and fails to offer the usual Te De- deums of joy over the president
 This sort of thing causes talk all over the country-but it need not. Such goings on will become frequent this summer and next fall that they will occasion lit tie comment.
 Party leaders, at last have awakened to the fact that a great part of the American peo- pie is in rebellion. To save their skins the leaders now bawl their loudest and fight desperately to get up with the head of the pro- ceSSiOn.

 ."Communism is about as inn portant as a flea is to a dog bit irritating, but nothing to have hydrophobia about"
 The liberties of free speech guaranteed by the foundatjonal principles of American govern ment are as much the rights of Communism or any other ism as they are the rights of the plum derbund politicians whose patri- otism is bounded only by the graft and plunder they can se- cure by their chicanery. The less one pays to the spouting of such be they communists or crooked politicians, the better will the country be.

THE SCHOOL PROBLEM

-X-@
 As more of AlaSka'S Indian youth are brought into direct contact with other children in the public schools, the prejudice against their presence becomes less marked and the acknoWl- edgement that such is the only solution to the problem made evident. :. Secretary of the Interior Will bur gives the following statistics relative to the school attendance of Indians in the States:
 Ending June 30, 1929 there were 345,356 Indians in the Unit led States, exclusive of Alaska. These had 26,111 children in the Government schools, 7,188 child ren in mission maintained schoo ren in schools maintained by the various churches and 34,288 chil- dren in public schools maintain ed at the expense of the various States-a total of 65,587 Indian children in school out of an elig- ible list of 83,262.
 "This means" says Samuel H Thompson, of Great Falls, Mont, 'that about 50 per cent of Indian children in all schools are in public schools; about 912 per cent in mission schools and about 4012 percent in Govern ment maintained schools. It al- so shows a fraction over 81 per cent of the entire eligible list of Indian children as being in some school, which is not so bad. * *
 Tt is surprising as one travels over the states where Indian re- servations and Indian schools are located to observe the friend y attitude of public school au- thorities and the public in gen. eral, toward the education of In- dian children along with white children. In almost every in stance where there is lack of CO., operation on the part of the pub lie school authorities, it is from lack of full understanding of just what the Government eX- poets. Then there does enter in to the public school situation the idea of financial support. Several States where there are many Indians do not have large finan- cial strength, and in some there are yet a few unorganized coun- ties. x The Government pays an agreed public school tuition for Indian childrn whose parents do not pay property tax to the State and County. This often solves the problem.
 From the beginning of time Ito now, personal contact and direct communication across the cesk have done more to solve problems, great or small, than anything else. Many experience eS have taught us the same in Indian school work. Rarely has 6 personal visit by an official from the Indian Office to a pub lie school official failed to bring about a proper understanding.
 There are many public school communities where cooperation is all that could be expected and one had as we'll be chosen as another. <
 Tt is not too much to expect all Indian children eventually to be educated in the public schools of the country and thus bring about a citizenship amalgama- tion of the two races in a way that will be a happy advance ment of all concerned. ."-The Indian Leader, Haskell Institute. Kansas.

LEISURE AND EDUCATION

Thirty-one per cent more adults went 10 school last year
 han the year before, according to the United States Bureau of Education. The Bureau believes that the increased attendance in adult schools is due largely to the fact that people have more leisure now.
 The number of grown persons enrolled for class work in the 12-month period ending July 1 was 260,0O0. In the previous year 100000 were registered.

have studied the problem are agreed that the situation consti- tutes a grave menace to the fu- turme moral integrity of the na- tiOn.
 Solution of the juvenile crime problem is receiving the earnest attention of public officials, so- cial agencies, churches, scien- tists and public-spirited civic leaders everywhere. On one principle all are agreed, that the problem can be attacked most effectively thru the youth of the nation by holding the characters of the young people during the impressiOnable ages before them Yeach their majority. Jails and reformatories have their uses, but they have little effect in the formation of social habits once these habits have been directed into criminal channels.
 Recently careful study was made of the careers of 51O men who left the Massachusetts Re- formatory, one of the best in the country, during 1911-1922- the first time an investigation of this nature has been conducted on such a large and thorough scale. The findings show that of this group of prison graduates, as it were, 30 per cent were not re- formed 5 to 15 years after being discharged from the institution.
 Other statistics were secured from this important group of case studies. It was found that 95 per cent of the youths studied had bad associates prior to sen tence to the reformatory. The term ''bad associates" is defined as including street corner loaf CTS, poolroom habitues, youths who rarely or never work, but live by their wits, habitual drink CTS, professional gamblers" More over, only 81 per cent, or about Is per cent, had belonged to any isocial club or organization for the constructive use of leisure.
 Katherine Lenroot of the Children's Bureau, Department of Labor, Washington, D C., in a recent study of juvenile de- linquency, finds that whereas in 1890 there were 143 juvenile delinquents 10 to IT years of age for every 100000 of population, in 1923 the ratio had increased to 154 per 100000 of population. Tn 1893 the number of delin- quents between 10 and 20 years of age was 100 per 100000 while lin 1923, it was 125 per 100000.
 '"The New York State Crime lists convictions in courts of re- cord by age groups. It finds that in 1925, 1926 and 1927 approxi- mately one-fourth of the con- Ivictions were prisoners between I15 and 21. This was the largest Igroup and was followed by the 1 group aged between 30 and 40, followed by a group ranging from 21 to 25. Forty-six per cent lof convictions were of youths be- tween the ages of 15 and 25.
 Lieutenant Governor Fitts of California declared in an address that "the whole crime problem ; is a kid problem. Ten years ago 34 was the average age of a criminal; last year, itwas P; and the most recent report of the board of prison directors shows that it is now 21 years. In three and one-half years g men were hanged from Los Angeles Coun- ty and their average age when hanged was 21 years 9 months.
