after their name, put: Educated pri-
vately" In nine cases out of ten "edu-
Gated privately means educated at q
board school," and in the same number
of cases the fact is camouflaged through
snobbery or a well founded fear of loss
of prestige-"A lord? Pooh! He's no
better than us-why, e went to board
school, like our Alf!"
THE British public schools are a
system and an institution which do
not exist in other countries They have
provided the colonists and imperial adj
venturers, and the personnel for the
administration of India and Britaln'S
tropical possessions. They feed the pro-
fessionS But they do not seem to be
producing the right type in quantity any
longer; and the Rev. Dr. Nairn, for Is
years headmaster of the famous Mer-
chant Taylors' School, recently described
them as "strongholds of social exclusive
ness and nurseries of snobbery"
They are chiefly occupied today in
producing a type of man who fits into
a readymade world and static imperial
machine. They are manufacturing self.
satisfied gentlemen for a gentleman's
world; but that world is already in ruins.
They do not produce men OF energy, OF
resource, of wide mind, fertile, able,
quick, adventurous They no longer pro-
duce pioneers.
New traditions will have to be made,
new ideals formulated The ideal OF
losing like q gentleman is not enough.
It is more important to win like man.
Tens of millions of pounds of trade have
been lost to Britain because an admins.
tration packed with public school trained
men in key places had been taught that
it is vulgar to push, to advertise. Big
men had to break down that sitting
tradition and get the Prince of Wales
to advocate pushfulneSs
The Prince of Wales made his call to
youth for service, for move away from
the excessively materialistic view OF life.
In Italy and Germany and Russia youth
has responded to the call OF service and
of sacrifice. Youth is enigmatic, but one
certain thing about it is that it will 60
Spartan and devote itself heart and soul
to a cause if it can find cause worth
while and leader who will give it some
thing it can bite its teeth into.
It is equally certain that youth is liable
to make trouble and go sour or bad if it
is not provided with an outlet for its
energy, and has reason to lack that fine
robust pride in the existing state of civil
ization which characterizes the people
who built that civilization, the fathers
and grandfathers and great-grandfather
of latter-day Youth
If the elder generation which is in
control in England can pull it together
and make it trifle more dynamic and
a land of more hope for youth, and turn
the eyes of youth to a brighter future
rather than beg them always to be look
ing back with worship at the messy old
gray walls of the glorious past" some-
thing big and solid should come OF this
unique appeal to a generation which has
considerable cause for irreverence and
lack of faith

GERMAN PRICE CUT
DELAYED IN DRIVE
SIashes on HaIf-Finished
Goods Fail to Reach Con-
Sumers as Yet.
BY A. II. DECKER.

By Gable to The Star.
BERLIN, Germany, January 5.-The
full effects of the official government
price-reducing campaign in Germany
are not expected to show for several
months. The cost of living index drop
ped l point, or l per cent, during De-
cember and a further drop is expected,
but consumers have not been given the
cheap prices they expected when the
emergency DEGREES were issued.
Many official decreases in prices are
on half finished goods, as iron and steel,
and until finished goods are placed on
the market the DEGREES cannot alter
prices to the consumer. Rent reduc-
tons do not apply to Subtenants ana
only competition can bring prices down.
In general, the Berlin housewife is
pleased with the trend of prices, for
bread. potatoes, meat, pots, pans, gas
and electricity all are somewhat cheap
err. At the same time 10 per cent has
been taken off the rent. However,
prices in Germany have not fallen at
the same rate as in other countries, so
that the cost of living is still high.
The average German worker is not
aided much by price reductions, Tor
arbitrary wage reductions more than
compensate the benefit. The German
wage Garner and housewife are econ
omizing by lowering their standard Of
living. Articles are not purchased for
quality. but for price. Shoes costing 81
pair and worth less are preferred to
the better quality for the simple reason
that the German has not too much
money with which to purchase. Some
prices are unbelievably low and the
quality of the goods is equally bad, as

Half of Population of Austrian
Industrial City Thrown

/ VIENNA. Austria, January 5.-A
+ gruesome and not altogether credible
/ story appears in the Vienna newspapers
| today of the disappearance of several
/ thousand 6ogs in the town OF Steyr,
! in Upper Austria, because they nave
been eaten by hunger-deSperate Io"llS-
! folk.
| Stevr announced its bankruptcy as a
municipality December 80 without cash
enough on hand to meet local salaries.
It is a town of $4,000 persons, OF whom
| 10000 are out of work as result OF
the virtual closing down of the we'll
known Steyr automobile factory. Con
ditionS in Steyr, as reported IN the
Vienna press. are unbelievable.
Hungry children roam the streets
begging-that is, those children who
still have shoes and so can go out OF
doors.
Beggars Have Own Day.
Friday is the official begging day and
each week attachments of children and
old women divide up the town, visiting
all the shops and houses and syste-
matically try to keep their pathetic
lives going by getting a few groSchen
in aims. In one shop between 200 and
300 beggars were reported in the course
of one day.
There is no food, no clothes and no
fuel in at least nalf the houses, it is
said. The life of the town Is at a
standstill on account Of the decay OF
the auto works. And dogs are killed
and eaten for food.
The collapse of Steyr is partly due
to the ShakineSs Of the Credit Anstalt
Bank, since this bank was the chief
flnancier Of the auto works.
Conditions Grow Worse.
Thousands Of workmen laid of by
the factories makes Steyr the worse hit
town in Austria, and probably no other
municipality is actually starving. But
general conditions are rapidly growing
worse, partly because living in Austria
has not gone down as in other countries,
but has been steadily rising. This Is
because Austria must import food, and
the bulk of what money is left in the
country has been used to support the
exchange.
The last report of the Austrian Ma
tional Bank shows discounted bills up
to 900 900 900 SchillingS (Sl26,000, 000)
and the gold cover down to the lowest
on record, 26 per cent 1t was 70 per
cent before the Credit AnStalt crashed
Passive resistance on the Austrian
railways has ceased. The strike of
theater hands is keeping several
Vienna theaters closed.

Statues of Mozart
And Bard of Avon
Will Grace Theater

COPENHAGEN (N.ANA).-A
statue of Shakespeare is to be
erected side by side with one of
Mozart outside the new wing Of
the Royal Theater here. This
additional wing has been built to
enable two distinct performances
to be given simultaneously, an
ambition that made way for its
own realization in view of the eX-
tensive permanent personnel OF
this theater, including opera
singers. play actors and a corps
de ballet.
The decoration of this theater
is on unconventional lines, each
floor being in a different color,
from deep red tones in the pit TO
palest yellowS in the upper circle.
The ceiling is like a gigantic
oyster shell and the new lighting
effects are striking. The play
goer finds that his ticket is of the
same color as that Of the floor on
which his seat is located.
The theater is equipped with a
revolving stage and an extensive
foreground, or apron stage, as in
the old Shakespearean theater, is
provided when requisite by a SIM
pie device which raises the or
chestra pit level with the stage.

There has been quite bit of dis
cussion as to why Jack Manders
wasn't allowed to carry the ball more
in Saturdays game. The truth is,
Manders was so groggy from bad
bump he had received during one of
the plays that he hardly knew where
he was going. A man with only half
his wits collected can't be counted
upon to carry BALI "Red" Griffin,
the quarterback, was so silly from a
whack he had been handed that he
forgot the signal he was to give to
Manders in one instance! And again
l repeat, football isn't a game for
ballroom sheiks, or males who are
afraid to get their pretty faces
mussed up.
