INDICTS MIDDLE CLASS
FOR NON COOPERATION
Educator Charges Collision

Baltimore-At the annual banquet
of the Progressive Education Asso-
citation here, Professor George S.
Counts of Teachers College, Columbia
University, criticized the great middle
class in this country as the chief Of
tenders in our lack of economic prog
ress in spite of our wide opportuni-
ties. In his address Professor Counts
emphasized the contention that Organ
lied Labor has for years made, that
the middle class, instead of support
ing intellectually the organized
workers, remains aloof and even hos
tile to the laboring classes, thereby
aiding the rich in the exploitation of
the poor.
Calls Middle Glass Immovable.
"These people," said Professor
Counts in referring to the immovable
middle class, "have shown themselves
entirely incapable Of dealing with
any Of the great crises of our time
war, prosperity or depression" The
opedheI odlu CIIdC tIllS CLASS WHICH, Idu
failed to support the workers in the
fight for economic freedom could not
be trusted with devising an adequate
educational system. He stated that
if intelligence were applied to our
present economy it would be neces-
sary for the workers to work only
one-half of the present working day,
year and life.

SATURDAY HOLIDAY.

Washington, D. C.-Rrepresenta-
tive Fred A. Britten of Illinois has
introduced an unemployment relief
bill to make Saturdays a legal
holiday. Britten estimated this
would add 100000 workers to pay
rolls.
The bill would authorize the
President to initiate the Saturday
holiday by advising Governors of
States of the action of Congress
if the measure is approved.
Britten said the bill was intro
duced at the suggestion of Max
Epstein of Chicago, who has made
a study of the five-day week.

LABOR PUTS MAYOR
OF ATLANTA ON TRIAL
Faces a Recall Election

Atlanta, Ga.-Organized Labor in
this city has given an emphatic dem
onstration of its power when aroused
by securing enough signatures to a
petition for a special election to
determine whether Mayor James L.
Key of this city shall be recalled from
office The supposedly powerful dry
organization in Atlanta has been
trying for months to secure enough
signatures to a petition for the same
purpose without success. Mayor Key
has called down upon himself the
wrath of the drys because of his open
Haunting of the dry cause. But he
ran afoul of the labor unionists in
an entirely different way.
Labor Does the Trick.
The mayor, evidently emboldened
by the inability of the drys to get
anywhere near the number of sigma
lures necessary for the calling of
the special recall election, ran amuck
against Organized Labor. He openly
encouraged contractors in the exploit
alton of workers through wage
manipulations. When warnings from
the labor leaders failed to stop him
the petition for the recall election
was circulated and 4,O16 signatures
were secured within a few days;
these, added to the 1850 that the drys
had been months in securing, were
more than enough to put the Mayor
on trial before the electorate. No
more convincing proof of the organ
lied power of union workers has ever
been given in this city. The Mayor
has learned that he made a severe
tactical error when he flouted the
power of Organized Labor.

NEW EASTER DATE

Many times it has been proposed to es-
tablish more nearly uniform date for Easter
Sunday, but tradition and custom are hard to
overcome, so the old method of calculation,
established by the Council of Nice more than
1000 years ago, still prevails.
Under this system Easter may fall as
early as March % or as late as April Is and
all movable feasts of the church are govern
ed by the date of Easter. Easter is unusual
ly early this year, falling on March 9th.
The British House of Commons once
passed bill proposing that the legal date Of
Easter be the first Sunday after the second
Saturday in April. 1t was not intended that
the British should try to put this proposal
into effect alone, but the idea was to call a
world conference to consider joint action of
the nations on the subject.
There are many reasons, business and So
cial, to commend the new plan, but inasmuch
as such an innovation would clash with long
established religious custom it is doubtful
that it will be able to command support in
ecclesiastical circles. Without such support
it could not be given practical effect.

FROM POVERTY TO POWER

That American boys have no monopoly
of the opportunity to raise from humble
origins to places of power is pointed out by
a recent writer, who names several world
figures who began life in poverty.
Lloyd George, former British premier,
was an orphan brought up by cobbler.
Ramsay Macdonald, the present prem
Ter, rose from abject poverty.
Aristide BRAND, several times premier
of France, began life as waif.
Pierre Laval, the present French prem
Ter, was once butchers boy.
President Masaryk, of Czechoslovakia,
was the son of an ignorant peasant black
smith.
Benito Mussolini, Italian premier and
dictator, was also blacksmith's son, and
himself worked as common laborer.
And as an American parallel to the two
last named it may be mentioned that Presi-
dent Hoover, too, was blacksmith's son.

PUTTING A CURB ON THE BEAR

For more than two years Presid mt
Hoover has insisted that the New York
Stock Exchange should take adequate meas
ures to protect investors from artificial de-
preston of securities prices brought about by
uncalled for bear raids and short selling
+! 1t was reported in the press few weeks
ago that government officials were consider
ing forcing the Exchange to close to protect
the holdings of banks, insurance companies
and the general public.
Fearing the government would take
such drastic action the Stock Exchange has
banned the loaning of margined stocks to
short sellers without specific permission of
the owners.
Heretofore, for instance, if one speculat-
or bought 1000 shares of United States Steel
or any other listed another speculator
could sell short on the same Exchange,
1000 shares, borrowing from the broker
the margined stock of the first purchaser,
thus multiplying the buying action of tbs
purchaser.
1t is a question whether this ruling is
strong enough. All short sales should be
banned in order to make securities secure.
1t is all wrong to permit the sale by anybody
of something they do not own and never ex
pect to own. The great bear raids on Sc
curities in 1929 precipitated the depression
in this country. We might have ridden
safely through the world debacle or, in any
event, weathered it with greater ease if the
Stock Exchange bears had been prohibited
from taking advantage of a condition to raid
American market values

These achievements will be strikingly por-
trayed by the big fair to be held in Chicago
next year in celebration of century of pro-
gress."
SCHOOL REFORM

Earnest educators throughout the Unit
ed States are giving serious thought to re-
form of curricula, with a view to better
adapting them to the needs of the present
day student. No current question deserves
more thoughtful consideration.
It is no reflection upon our educational
leaders that present methods are proving in
adequate to the demands of the times. With
the ever-increasing store of available knowl-
edge, it becomes more and more difficult to
choose that which should be taught in the
limited time that can be given to formal edu-
cation by the average student.
But the problem is not new. AS far
back as 1853 the prevailing system of educa-
ton in England came in for drastic criticism
by Thomas Sheridan, who labored with little
success for it's reform.
Sheridan contended that the established
system of that day and not fit the young for
their duties in life; that it was uniform for
all and profitable for none. He also stressed
the Importance of imparting better knowl-
edge of the English language.
The latter point, at least, might well be
taken to heart today. 1t would be great
step forward if our children might emerge
from high school with reasonable acquain-
lance with their mother tongue.

A CENTURY's ADVANCE

From the advent of the railroad until
the beginning of practical aerial Transports
tion there elapsed approximately century.
The mighty advances of science and inven-
ton which came in between these epochal
events were so great as to tax the magma
ton. Within the span of these hundred
years thousand marvels have been born,
which it would take months of research to
enumerate and describe. Consider few jot-
ted down off-hand:
Railroads, steel ships, perfected cotton
gins, the telegraph, the telephone, photogra-
ply, the photograph, the sewing machine.
anaesthetics, sanitation, the X-ray, radium,
motion pictures, automobiles, radio, aircraft,
teleyision and many others, together with
innumerable improvements and refinements
which have been added to the original inven-
tions and discoveries.
The advance of the past hundred years
appears all the more remarkable when we
reflect that mankind has lived and labored
under some SORT of civilization 10000 years.
The achievements of the last century have
been greater than those Of all the hundred
centuries which preceded it.

president of the American Associ>
alton of State Highway Officials.
in commenting on the necessity Of
continuing road building on it's
present scale. He went on:
First of all, we need good roads
because we have some $4,000, 900
passenger cars, trucks and buses,
vehicles which during the lean
year of 1881 We're given a greater
usage than ever before. Every dol
lar taken away from road building
reduces the utility of the automo-
bile and therefore its value. Every
dollar spent in road betterment
makes the car worth more. Meth
err the highway nor the automobile
can be evaluted alone; both must
be weighed together and consider
ed as single transportation med
ium.
The automobile industry is the
largest industry, employing in
one way or another one tenth of
the nations workmen. It is large
because it serves public demand
and because the United States is
building roads.
ITO operate the gigantic high
way automobile transportation sy-
stem that we have built up re-
quires large sums Of money, but
know Of no activity wherein great
err value is received. No one will
gainsay that highways we have al
ready improved are saving the
country's motorists two cents per
mile travelled Even on that con-
sentative basis the annual saving
to the nation is twice the actual
annual investment which is only
one cent or each mile of motor
travel.
In view of the urgent need for
more improved roads, the cash
benefits received, the employment
of three-quarters of million men
on state and local roads, road
building this year and in years to
come should maintain it's place.
No cog in the wheel should be
hack sawed. Money dedicated by
motorists through gasoline and
motor vehicle taxes to the cause
of good roads should be used for
good roads. Every state should
fight tax evasion, which is costing
us upwards of $40,000,OO0 a year.
Federal participation should con-
tinue in full measure. States must
meet this Federal challenge. Local
communities should also realize
that the road dollar performs a
money saving function, that If pro.
perly spent 1t is a dollar as solidly
invested as though it were in gov
eminent securities" concluded Mr..
Everett.
