"It would be a fine thing for

Mission of Schools
"Our public schools" says
she, should not be regarded
as mere industries, which gives
employment to so many work
ers. Their mission is to incul-
cate in children certain social
attitudes. habits and knowledge,
which will make for intelligent
citizenship. For such work, the
finest quality of character is
needed in the teacher-and
teachers should be selected ac-
cordingly. No one can deny
that the married woman knows
more Of life than the single
woman.
She has broader viewpoint
and q more matured charac-
ter. Therefore, very often mar
riage is a distinct asset in a
teacher. and should commend
her rather than disbar her.
"Nor do I think that mar

Her one idea is to be a

Suffering Is Due to the
Administrators Sins

AdmlnlStratl0n'S Sins
The purport Of Mr.. Hur-
ley's campaign speech is
that our troubles are mostly
of foreign origin, although
he half-heartedly comedies
that some of our difficulties
are the result of our own
policies. Conditions were
bad in Lurope from the
close of the war; but states
manship and wise policies
afterward raised France to
a prosperity SURPRISING our
own. Our panic descended
upon us suddenly. When the
stock market saturnalla OF
gambling, encouraged strik-
ingly by market minded
craftsmanship in Washing
ton, ended in a crash, the
panic was on.
The Administration en-
couraged that madness; 1t
used the bellows of high sta
ton to initiate the bubble
more until it burst.
Then suddenly our for
eign trade slumped; and the
slump came Immediately
after the passage of the bill
demanded by Mr.. Grundy in
payment for the campaign
contributions of 1928. That
measure, opposed by nine
tenths of the gentlemen ad-
dressed by Mr.. Hurley, was
barely forced through the
Senate with a margin of two
votes, by the utmost endeav,
ors of Mr.. Hoover; and
every man listening to Mr..
Hurley knew that to be true.
Much of the suffering in
America today is due to the
Administrations sins-some
of omission, some of COM
mission.

Fails to
Tell

In enumerating the posi-
tive policies of the Admins
tration, Mr.. Hurley jumbles
together with a gesture the
things attempted that failed,
and the things the Admins
tration did not undertake
until they were forced upon
it by the bankers.
He tells us of the confer
ence in Washington with in
dustrialists to maintain work
and wages; but neglectS to
tell us that it did not work.
He tells us Of the morato-
rum insisted on by bankers,
but fails to tell us that it
did not serve.
He tells us of the "Presi-
dents Committee" seeking
funds as private charity, but
neglects to tell us that 70
per cent Of bread eaten by
the jobless and their chill
dren came from public
funds furnished by every
governmental unit in Amer
lea except that at Wash
ington.
And he fails to tell us
how the Administration s
pledge was kept to raise the
status of the farmer above
bankruptcy; and how the
Administrations m e a su re
worked,
