Your Child
Your Child
System That Makes Labor
of Education Is Deficient

Forum meant nothing on earth to
me but genitives and anlatives
and declensions.
Story Was Concealed
Vergips "Aeneid" was something
to be scanned and translated, and
it was more important to get the
eases of the Roman gods straight
and be careful about the twisty
Latin verbs than it was to dig into
the meaning of the story. The
story, whatever it was about,
seemed. to be a secret.
When I put the manuscript down
that DR.. Vincant Booth had given
men to read I said. this: why
in. the name of goodness couldn't
they have told us that when we
were studying the Latin classics?
why couldn't they give us week
or two on the whole picture first;
the times, the wars, the trials and
troubles of this pastoral poet;
where he got his ideas and philos-
ophieS contained in this epic?
IF they had done that, we chill
dren would have gone into it with
open interest"
Made Hard Labor
Instead we were given big black
books called "Vergil' that might
just as we'll have been called "Ad-
dacadabra,"
We started in laboriously trying
to dig a meaning out of the first
line, then the second and the third
and by the time we had reached
the fourth, we had forgotten the
first.
There was no picture. no story
and consequently no interest.
1t was the same with "Cicero's'
eternal droning. Yet that whole
period with its fierce jealousies
battles and murders were as dra-
matte time as the world has ever
known.
Tt passed peacefully over our
heads in series of grammatical
explorations.
Weak Place in Education
I write this as an illustration
of one of the weak places in edu-
cation. Children go into things
blindly and study beside the mark.
If things were explained to them
intelligently and big clear pic
ture drawn for them at first of
what it is all about, much mental
haze would be dissipated.
To hear about a country, to know
it before you go in is always help,
You see it then with more appreciar-
tive eyes, and you learn through
your interest.
1t is the same with lessons. Not
always, of course, but quite often
children are studying in the dark
Every new textbook should be
prefaced by the teacher.
To go along blindy day by day
is no fun at all. I often wonder if
children know more than half the
time what they really are studying.

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
Recently a friend of mine who is
a famed lecturer gave me the script
of his address on Vergil to read.
I read it through twice, with the
result that I was seized with a
indignation and re-
sentiment, because I had learned
more Roman history, more about
the poet himself, and more about
the story of Aeneus and his mis-
fortunes than I had picked up in
one solid year of scanning Latin
lines in class.
And why was that? Why had I
finished my senior year at high
school having gone through Cae-
Sar, Cicero, and Vergil without the
slightest inkling of what any of
them were about?
Caesar I digested more or less,
but the orations of Cicero and his
announcements or traitors in the

If you make your own clothes,
always shrink washable material
before you make it up. You'll be
able to save cleaning bills by wash

if you prefer to have them cleaned,
you'll be sure that they aren't 60

LEADERS OFTEN AT ODDS UNITED
 AGAINST BONUS
Leaders of Both Parties Seem to Be Impressed That Bonus Would Be Dangerous Just Now

Washington. April 13-(UP)- Political and financial leaders, so often at odds, are united in their steadfast opposition to the $2,- 900, 900, 900 cash bonus for World war veterans. The congressional leadership, both democratic and republican, is solidly supporting administration sources confidently war on the bonus plan, and high believe the bonus will be defeated. Important business and financial figures are preparing to descend on the house ways and means con- mittee to oppose the imitation which would be involved in pay- ing the bonus with new issue of currency.
 The opening gun in the finan- cieTs' campaign was fired yesterday, with a bonus advocate pulling the trigger, Senator Thomas, demo- crat, Oklahoma, introduced in the committee record a letter from Charles B. Mitchell, chairman of the board of the powerful Nation al City bank of New York, who declared imitation would be ex- tremely dangerous. Thomas ad- yocates imitation as a remedy for depression and desired to show that the bonus would bring 1t about. Mitchell declared that the Patman bill and similar paper money imitation" would be grave ly damaging both to the credit of

BRYAN WILL IS FILED FOR PROBATE
WEYMOUTH TAKES NOVEL METHOD
 TO HELP TOWN
This Mass. Locality Is Sending All Needy Fanl- flies to. the Towns Where They Belong

Weymouth, Mass, April 1s- (UP)-weymouth is cutting $30,- 900 from her public welfare ex- penditures by sending 45 needy families who haven't lived here five years back. to the communi- ties where they have legal settle- ment. The drastic action was voted at a recent town meeting upon recommendation of the ap- propriations committee. It pointed out that the town spent $45,577 last year for poor relief for per- sons living in weymouth but hav- ing legal settlement elsewhere, whereas other cities and towns had to spend only $7,000 on per- sons who had legal settlement in Weymouth but, lived elsewhere.
 The outside communities reim- bursed Weymouth for only a com- paratively slight part of the cost of the needy families according to town authorities. They explained that the families had 160 children of school age. whose education costs the town $85 apiece annual ly. Three months time was given the 45 families to vacate. They were offered free transportation and moving costs, and steps will be taken to eject them if they re- main.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-04-13

following program to remedy the country's troubles:
 l. American capital should be used at home rather than loaned abroad.
 2. "This government should an- nounce a firm purpose not to can- eel or readjust obligations due from foreign countries, except upon conditions manifestly to the interest of our own people,"
 8. The policy of isolation re- fiected in prohibitive tariffs" must be abandoned in favor of flair, re- ciprocal tariff arrangements"
 4. Laws for the prevention and regulation of monoplies must be enforced"
 B.. The high cost of government must be reduced by abolishing and consolidating federal bureaus and departments.
 6. "Readjustments must come in domestic production and in conn merce" in order to increase com- modity prices. "Instead of piling up additional surpluses, existing surpluses must be disposed of in accordance with orderly processes. "*s new domestic markets must be stimulated and foreign markets reached by receiving on more lib- eral terms those products of for eign countries which cannot be economically produced in our own territory"
 Mrs Norton was the only one of the speakers to mention prohibi- tion. Next to the commerce de- partment, she said she would like to see the prohibition enforcement bureau demolished. She said it had cost the taxpayers $370,360,- 585 so far, aside from the revenue which could have been obtained from a tax on beer and wine. Mrs Norton was vehement in hel denunciation of the commerce de. partment. She said the republican administration had ''squandered' money on 1t with the prodigality of the proverbial drunken sailor The department spent $61,471,00C last year. She particularly singled out "Mr Hoover's fair haired child the division of foreign and do- mestic commerce."
 This division. she declared, sent high-salaried commissioners to the four corners of the world to do trade promotion work "that here tofore had been and could be done more satisfactorily by our con- sular service" The net result of all this extensive promotion, she said, was the United States export trade last year was the smallest since 1914.
