Losing on Culture

TOHN GRIER HIBBEN, retiring
- president of Princeton univer-
sity, says that we are on the down
grade as far as culture is con-
cerned, and millions agree with
him.
Not pausing to argue the point,
our attitude toward culture has
changed. We are not cultivating
the tastes we were taught to Gull
tivate in school.
Either the school has failed to
teach us effectively, or what it
taught was doomed. You can take
either view and find logical ex-
PLANTATION in the dull routiAe of a
rigid, r-organized mechanism.
Our educational system has
succumbed to ritualism and con-
formity. A compulsory attendance
law, by which a child is supposed
to start at certain age and keep
going, so many hours a day, so
many days week, for a. prescribed
number of years, is but one of many
instances that might be cited.
What difference does it make how
a child gets knowledge so long as
he gets it? None at all, as far as
results go, but a whale of q lot
according to our laws and regula-
tons.

Whose Commission?

Two years ago a lame duck federal power commits
sion composed of three of President Hoovers cabinet
members seriously considered making a ruling on
licensed power company accounts which would have
permitted grossly improper sums to be written into
the companies net investment and charged against
the public
There was congressional and public indignation
that such precedent should be established by body
soon to relinquish Office and the ruling not made
Today another Hoover power commission is about
TO rule this same troublesome question According
to reports, which sincerely hope untrue, the
commission will sustain all Or most of the power COM
pany contentious.
If such ruling is made, it will meet with general
dsapproval not only because it will constitute be-
trayal of the federal water power act and of public
regulation but also because of the circumstances I'M
der which the issue again presents itself.
Right of the chairman of the commission to hold
Office has been challenged by the senate and is pend
ing before the United States supreme court The
chairman may soon, be removed from the board
and If he is the senate will scrutnize his successors
views upon regulation with extreme care.
In the second place, the term of another member
who has stood with Chairman Smith on all questions
so far-and with him and one another, has consti-
tuted a majority of the board-will expire this year
Unless President Hoover is successful in this years
election, the whole complexion of the power COM
mission will be changed and, in any event. the
confirming power of the senate may alter it mark
eddy.
For the commission to establish precedents now in
this very important matter, in direct opposition to
the expressed intent of congress and in violation of
public interest, would be extremely regrettable.

what boy might get in one of our manual train
Ing high schools today.
This was the technical engineering training for
Hoover. Even his geology work was crude and ele-
mentary compared 20 major in that subject in one
OF our great universities today
It is in no sense unfair inaccurate to say that
many a graduate OF of our good manual train
ing high schools today, who has taken frst-rate
courses in high school physical geography and ge-
ology has received better engineering training than
Herbert Hoover did at Leland Stanford.
So let us cease blaming the engineering profess
sion for Hoover and his shortcomings. great en-
gineer in the White House might prove an abysnal
failure as chief executive. but there is no evidence
to that effect yet.
Yet the engineers can not complain too much If
their profession has suffered They have helped to
make the public believe that Hoover is an engineer
through the honors which engineering societies have
showered on him since 1914 including the John Fritz
medal perhaps the chief prize bestowed by the en-
gneerng profession.
In MS apologize article in Golfers Arthur Train
tries TO rehabitate the legend of Hoover as great
technical engineer:
Certainly If Mr. Hoover were the tyro in en-
cheering the author alleges it is remarkable that
he should have been selected as the recipient of the
gold medal awarded by the Mining and Metallurgical
Society Of America in 1914 that he received several
other medals from engineering societies; and that
he was chosen president of the American Mining and
Metalurgca Engineers in 1920, and president of the
Council Of Federated Engineering Societies in 1921"
We could do no better here than to repeat Mr..
Trains phrase. The above indeed is remarkable !"
in the light of the facts about Mr. Hoovers education
and professional
1t is perhaps slightly less remarkable than it would
have been if these engineering honors had been
slowed before MIR Hoover became public figure of
international repute in other than engineering fields

Pyramiding Paw Cuts

In the chaos over federal economy there is dan
ger that government employees may get a double or
even triple cut in salaries.
Confusion arises first because of the apparent I'M
willingness either of the President or of congress to
make the military and naval establishment take a
proportionate share of economy, which throws vr-
tualy the entire burden on civilian employees and
constructive activities of the government.
Not content with that basic injustice, the Presi-
dent the house and the senate proceeding along
three separate and conflicting lines of civilian pay
cuts, which may in the end be pyramided.
Hoover insists on disguised pay cut which he
calls a fmlough plan providing for one day a week
reduction in work for daily employees and one month
a year leave without pay for annual workers
The house committee insists on an open pay cut of
II per cent with 81 900 exemption.
But meanwhile the senate Is going along with a
third plan which involves wholesale disguised pay
drastic blanket cuts in the appropriation bills
Thus, in the interior department bill passed
Wednesday, the cut in the Boulder dam approximation
would throw thousands of workers out of Jobs. and
the cut in the bureau of education would necessate
cut up to per cent in many salaries, furloughs
without pay OF one month and half
If the Hoover plan is applied top of the senate
action, the result will be two and a half months
without pay, or If the house plan is applied on TOP
of the senate action the result will be pay cuts rang
ing as high as Is per cent.
That, obviously, is not-intelligent economy and is
not justice.

ward with the simple little question
which would stop him in the full
flight of oratory. Somebody ought
to interrupt him long enough tc
say But if Europe doesn't pay. tc
the last nickel just what are we 60
ing to do about it?"
Now, the only sincere answer tc
that is, Nothing at ALL" In the
early days of dollar diplomacy, ii
was customary to send gunboat
around to the front door of such
Central American countries as de-
faulted on their obligations. Ma
rines would seize the customs house
and we would proceed to pay our
selves.
But 1 do not believe that anybody
seriously suggests that We will go to
war with Germany, France or Eng
land in an effort to collect our
money.
In previous bonus drive, some
orator did declare that if there was
no other way to pay the boys, they
would gladly go abroad again and
bring back the necessary sum at
the point of the bayonet. But this
statement was made at state fair
shortly before an election and hard
ly was intended to constitute any
thing more than sound wave.

Just Every Day Sense
DARENTs are often funny and life frec
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

DARENTS are often funny and life frequently
proves them wrong we'll. Yet nearly all of
them fondy believe that when 1t comes to picking
husband wife for their children they are ncanabe
of making mistakes.
1t is true that many hasty elopement ends in
marital disaster. But then do good many of the
carefully arranged matches that men and women
make for their families
NO matter what sad error woman may have COM
mltted In the selection of mate for herself she
usually will conclude that she is wise enough TO pjc
one for her daughter
Being parent myself, I am heartily in favor of
the idea that children should heed the advice of their
eloers But am equally strong in the opinion that
Wnen 1t comes to getting married each individual
should select his or her companion.
Mo person. be he so wise, is capable of choos-
y ing the right mate for another. The love of
men and women is composed of so many subtle
nuanceS, so many varied spiritual mental and
physical qualities that only the person who expert
ences them can understand their meaning
The heart is not to be driven and while it often
may deceive II Is safer to depend upon its judgment
IMAM upon the mercenary sense that unconsciousy
actuates parents when they try to force marriages
Naturally most of us will want to DENY this We
tnink that We are concerned honestly only with the
welfare OF our children. and we are But being
worldly wise and experienced in the hardships of
advantages Is FAR better for the younger generation
than romance,
In most instances this is not true The most
eligible catch in town may make the very worst
husband.
Life is an uncertain thing at best. marriage is .
ocuh business, and love is the essential for its
success.

Faith in Nations

XXTE put faith in certain notions
w whether they produce intelli-
gence or not. Lawyers, doctors and
other professional people must pass
through a carefully marked out
labyrinth. If they get through, we
grant them certain privileges, no
matter what they have in their
heads or how completely they
abandon further study.
Others may know more, but are
barred if they lack the proper label
Ritualism is dangerous for any
kind of human endeavor. it is
peculiarly dangerous in education.
Education can not be separated
from growth and change, can not
be the same thing today that it was
yesterday, or tomorrow that it is to-
day. Neither can it be dished out
in equal doses at equal intervals to
all children.
The object is to produce char
acter and intelligence. If we paid
more attention to that. we could
afford to be less concerned with the
feeding results.

SERVICE
Albumin Excretions May Be Serious

albumin, frequent attacks of colds
and family history of kidney dis
ease.
They also noted relationship be-
tween the presence of albumin and
the record of previous attacks of
rheumatism or scarlet fever.
This should indicate the impor-
lance of making an examination of
the excretion at least once each
year, and of special study of every
case in which albumin is found.
The finding of the albumin does
not indicate necessarily the pres
ence of kidney disease, but it GER
tainly does indicate the need for
investigation.
Such investigation may lead to
the determination of factors of i'm
portance in relationship to health
and to life and may mean a great
deal in giving extra years Of health
full life to the person concerned.

Making Tests
IN making observations upo

IN making observations upon a
l. mountain top, DR.. Moore has to
determine the amount of water
vapor in the air ard the amount of
dust, since these are the two fac
tors which determine suitability of
site for a regular observation sta
ton.
For this purpose, he carries spe-
cially constructed instruments which
fold into small light pack. Light,
ness is essential, for he has to carry
the pack on his back while ascend
ing a mountain.
One of the instruments he carries
in q spectroscope. This splits the
rays of the sun into a rainbow of
colors. Water vapor in the atmo-
sphere absorbs certain rays of light
more than others.
Consequently, he can tell from
variations in the spectrum or rain
bow how much absorption has been
due to water vapor.
The other instrument is know as
a pyrheilomotor. This is a device
for measuring the total radiation of
the sun, but on the sky as well.
"Sky-light" is reflected sunlight.
reflected from the molecules or gas
making up the atmosphere and
from the dust particles in the at
mosphere. Consequently, the bright
ness of the sky is an index to the
amount of dust in it.
It remains to be seen what con-
dition DR.. Moore finds Mt. st. Cath
crime. But the prospects are good.
The region is dry and desolate and
the prevailing winds generally are
from the Mediterranean sea at the
north, rather than from the dusty
deserts to eastward and westward.
