STATE SCHOOL LAWS IN 1929
IN. Y. Times EditoriaD

IN. Y. Times EditoriaD
The Library of Congress announ-
ces the first issue of the State Law
Index. This will be welcome news
to those who wish to follow the gem
eral trend of legislation in the sew
eral States and to all interested in
changes in one or another special
field. Meanwhile, there has appeared
a review and topical summary of
school legislation in forty-six States
for the year 1929 prepared by the
Research Division of the National
Education Association.
OF first significance is the ten
dency to extend the period of COM
pulsOry school attendance. In New
York it has been increased to 100
days, including legal holidays in
term time, and in four or five other
States the term has been heightened
or the compulsory attendance laws
strengthened. The record also shows
a disposition to raise the require
ments for employment certificates.
Greater concern is shown for guard
ing the health of the pupils through
examination, vaccination, &c.
Several States have taken action
the course of study. The
California Legislature requires in
struction in accident prevention;
Delaware and New Mexico are added
to the list of States in which the
of physiology and hygiene
with special reference to the effect
Of stimulants and narcotics is re-
Iuired; North Dakota and Texas now
insist upon the teaching of the Con-
and Oregon has directed
It's superintendent to outline course
N character education in all grade |
Ind high schools. The observance !

ALIENS SENT HOME

Since January 1 the United States
government has deported about
5000 aliens for various infractions
of our laws. This is sharp warn
ing to any aliens who think they can
come to this country and do just as
they please, that there are some lin
its to freedom even in a free coun-
try.
The United States gives these peo-
pIe a better chance than they ever
had anywhere else. It seems a most
ungrateful thing for any of them to
turn around and show contempt to-
ward the laws of the land that gives
them this opportunity. The major
itv of aliens in our country are hard
working people who are doing the
hest they can, and such ones are
welcome, but not those who attempt
+o defy our government.

DANCING AT THE WHITE HOUSE

The White House is ordinarily a
serious place, where presidents pom
der the deepest problems. 1t wore a
different aspect a few nights ago,
when Allan Hoover, the Presidents
youngest son, gave a dance there to
his youthful friends.
Many young people in Delaware
would have given several years of
their life to have been included in
that select party. Allan probably
had to do an awful lot of dancing to
keep all those girls happy. It must
have cheered the President to have
people come to his home with their
joys as well as their troubles. Mean
while the millions who never are in
vited to any famous homes can re-
feet that life in obscure circles is
quite as likely to be happy as in the
white light of fame.

GOOD ADVICE FOR ANYBODY

&c. When farmers, or any
other class of people, depend most
upon themselves, working to better
themselves and the conditions sur
rounding them, they become strong,
says the Jacksonville, Fla, Times
Union. ION the other hand, when,
they lean on others, or on Congress
seeking help from others, rather than
doing what they can to help them
selves, they become weaklings and
give utterance to cries of distress"

GET GOOD SEED

Gardeners and farmers who are
about committing the seed to the
soil, can well be warned that it new
er pays to buy poor or doubtful seed.
1t costs little more to buy well test
ed seeds. 1t takes just as much la
bor to cultivate a crop raised from
poor seed, and probably more labor,
for the crop will need more care.
Meanwhile if inferior seeds are
bought, many Of them will fail to
come up, many of them will produce
inferior plants that will not stand
deterioration due to weather and
pests, and they may be so mixed with
weed seeds that a destructive ele-
ment is introduced into your garden
or field. Our dealers in Milford will
provide you with standard quality
seed at such reasonable prices that
you can not afford not to make use
of them.

IN OUR TOWN.

When you persuade people to buy
goods in their home town instead OF
elsewhere, the effect is just like
obtaining a new manufacturing in
dustry.
The hot air of the town boosters
is complained of, but it isn't any
wores than the cold showers from
the chronic complainers.
If the time that people spent find
ing fault with their home towns, was
all spent in making their home and
business places more attractive,
their towns would go ahead faster.

ONE WAY TO COLLECT

I had a friend, a dear old friend,
'Tis true I do declare.
I loaned that friend a dollar
Our friendship ended there.
One day 1 met him on the street;
I seized him by the collar;
The police said I raised a row;
I know raised a dollar.

IN OUR TOWN

A little less knocking with the
hammer of pessimistic talk, and a
little more pounding with the ham

homes, brightens up a town and

SoS
DEYELOPTNG HOME TRADE


AS a whole our home people in
Milford stand by their home busi-
ness, and our home business con-
Germs are very enterprising and ac-
tive in meeting their needs. But a
word should be said now and then
to induce every business concern to
do everything possible to make their
methods and equipment and policies
thoroughly up to date.
Some business concerns lose trade
because they lack enterprise, some
lose it because they fail to make
their stocks and selling methods as
attractive as those of distant or out
of town competitors. Some fall be-
hind because they fail to advertise.
It takes a lot of hustle to keep up
with the game nowadays.

HOME TOWN THOUGHTS

People all want to live in go
ahead town, but many of them aren't
willing to do any going ahead them
selves.
Business men sometimes say that
their home town is asleep, but its
people are never too sleepy to notice
an advertisement that offers real
bargains.
The town that can sell its goods
to the outside world, but that buys
most of its stuff at home, is sure to
make progress, because its income
constantly exceeds its Outgo.
Milford chronicle., 1930-04-18
UNEMPLOYMENT POBLEMS


People who have steady jobs do
not realize the suffering endured by
those who are out of work for no
fault of their own. Millions of fam
lilies live all the time in apprehen-
sion that work will give out, and
that there will not be money enough
for food and clothing and to take
care Of the little ones. All this un-
certainty hurts production. Work
people will not try as hard for full
production, if they are fearful of
working themselves out of job.
A man who has been out of work
for months is in danger of being
warped mentally by the experience.
He may so lose his courage that his
value as a worker is diminished.
One reason why a good deal of un-
employment exists in some cities, is
that in times of great industrial ac-
tivity, too many people rush into
those communities for the high |
wages pdlu JuSI6 at 0uCn IAuuSos 4hOh |
when the temporary jobs give out,
they are stranded. Many of them
gave up sure jobs in their own home
towns, and they would have been
better off to have remained where
tl'ey were at less pay.
Some concerns make it one Of
their main detectives, to work right
through the year or come as near it
as possible. They make sacrifices to
keep people at work. When large
numbers of people lie idle, the de-
mand for commodities is reduced.
Many idle people will soon be set to
work on construction jobs, but plans
should be formed for combating un-
employment on a more systematic
and nationwide scale.
Milford chronicle., 1930-04-18

NO BUSINESS MAN in any town
should allow a newspaper published
in his town to go without his name
and business being mentioned some
where in its columns.
This applies to all kinds of bust
ness and professional men. It does
not mean that you should have a
whole, half or even a quarter page
ad in each issue of the paper, but
your name should be mentioned; if
you do not use more than two-line
space.
A stranger picking up a newspa-
per should be able to tell what bus
mess is represented in the town by
looking at a paper. This is the best
possible town advertiser.
The man who does not advertise
his business does an injustice to
himself and the town. The life of a
town depends upon the live, wide
awake and liberal advertising bust
ness man.
Milford chronicle., 1930-04-18
THE APPEARANCE OF THINGS

People study the exterior appear
ance of things to see what indica-
tions these appearances give of the
inside facts about any proposition or
person. For instance, if they see a
business place with a shabby exte-
rior, they form the impression that
its various operations are run in a
slipshod way.
If they see a neighborhood in
which people are careless of exterior
appearances, they conclude that such
people would be undesirable as
neighbors. To promote our prosper
ity and development, we need to be
extremely careful to keep our busi-
ness and home places in perfectly
neat, orderly, and finished condi-
tions, or we shall create impressions
that will hurt us.

HOME TOWN THOUGHTS

If people talked about their
friends the way they knock their
home towns, they would have few

People who complain Of the lack
of needed improvements in their

those improvements impossible by
spending their money away from

THE HARD BOILED AGE

The modern world resents being
preached at. 1t does not like to be
told what it ought to do. 1t COM
plains of the literature of former
years, of what it calls the Victorian
age" because it was so preachy, and
was always pointing out morals and
trying to teach lessons.
The present age feels it knows all
there is to know and does not need
any lessons. Children who take that
attitude in school are not apt to be
so successful in after life. A genera
tion that takes that attitude will
run up against some hard knocks be-
fore it gets through.
Meanwhile many books and plays
are written which express this hard
boiled attitude. Their idea is simply
to present life as it is, and they do
not usually express approval or dis
approval of wrong things. They
present the lives of vicious people,
and indicate no opinion whether
such lives are helpful to society or
not. Many people who read such
books and see such plays must get
the idea that it makes no particular
difference whether they are honest
OF moral or not.
This attitude is too colorless. 1t
will strike later age as pale, fiat,
and improbable. Hopeful people
want to see the world move ahead.
They see the community afflicted by
various evils, and they want to see
those evils removed. They would
like to express appreciation of peo-
pie who live useful lives, and disap-
proval of those who drag others
down by their low standards and
vicious influence.
The time would seem to be ripe
for the expression of more generous
sentiments. The people would like
to see a new literature which should
have more optimism and ambition in
it. They would like to see it be-
come enthusiastic over people who
perform useful services to the COM
munity, and who show some disap-
proval and disgust for types Of peo-
pie who go through life without !
moral principle. It is time to dis
card our hard boiled pessimism and |
cynicism, and show some enthusiasm
for human development.

THE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE has been doing a
little snooping into the affairs of
farm women, and now they tell us
that the average rural housewife
works 63 hours a week. They report
that So hours and II minutes of that
time are devoted to housework alone.
The remainder is spent in gardening,
looking after poultry, and such
tasks. It takes 25 of the 63 hours
to prepare the meals, serve them
and then wash and put away the
dishes; Strengthening up the house
takes eight hours week. No figures
are offered covering the thousand
and one other things she has to do,
so we are left to wonder when she
gets a minute to call her own. We
are willing to accept Uncle Sans
figures as correct, and we are not
going to dispute them. But we still
believe, and we feel every woman
around Milford believes that the
best report on the subject ever sub
mitted was the one which said: "a
man works from sun to sun, but a
woman's work is never DONE"
