III HERALDO. Barranquilla.-The
Representative Chamber ap-
proved yesterday a project Of
jou providipo for the opopipf

proved yesterday project Oh
IL law providing for the apopint-
ment Of q commission which in
turn will be empowered to rationalize
all measures considered necessary by
them for the proper solving Of Colom-
bias educational problems. During the
forensic discussions one of the depu-
ties, Senor Germano Arciniegas, dis
closed the startling intelligence that no
less than 950,000 children of scholastic
age have neither q teacher nor any
school which they may attend. When
we grasp this situation in its true sig
nificance. 1t is seen that at least IL, 500
more teachers will be required If the
instruction Of these neglected juveniles
is to be undertaken with any degree of
adequacy.
Whence such q tremendous number
of new masters Is to be recruited is per-
haps the most formidable part of the
problem. Their present paucity is not
surprising when We consider the long
labor and heavy expense involved in
preparing for the pedagogical profession
as contrasted with the meager remu-
nerations available after such satisfac-
tory qualification. With elbows through
sleeves, and toe or two protruding
from their dilapidated shoes, many Of
these men have carried on simply in
humanitarian zeal The opportunity for
patriotic service they esteemed the chief
recompense for their work.
To alleviate somewhat the status Of
these unpretentious heroes the deputy
licentiate Senior Arciniegas. has urged
that every man, woman and child in the
nation contribute one centavo each per
month to establish q fund which will
not only afford better salaries for the
teachers now employed, sand encourage
others to embrace professional duties.
but also buy the necessary books and
stationery for the 950,000 children as
yet deprived Of secular instruction.
Such . painless contribution from, or
in behalf of every person in the repub-
lie would create a revenue of 100000
pesos ($460, ,384) annually, and speedily
obviate all the deficits in the accounts
Of the "Facultad de Educacion" With
this principal sum actually in sight, ad-
ditional rooms or buildings could be
cheaply rented. especially under the
present superabundance Of structures
publicly and privately owned.

Member nj the Associated Pres,
Government Borrowing.

Every one Is OF SilOulu Uc picdScu az
the result of the Treasury's offering OF
nearly a billion dollars worth of one
year certificates, bearing interest at
two and a quarter per cent, which has
been oversubscribed about three times.
The refinancing represented more or
less normal operation. which met a
more or less normal response. As far
as the operation is concerned, the ex-
perts are not inclined to attach much
significance to it one way or the other.
But it is nevertheless significant in
the sense that in a section of the popu-
lar mind, at least, the operation has
been conceived as test of Government
credit. 1t is significant that there
should have been any question at all
of the Governments credit as repre-
sented in its ability to borrow from its
citizens. This fear of Government
credit has been linked closely with the
administrator gold policy and the un-
certainty of future money policies. 1t
lies at the bottom of great deal of the
criticism to which the present policies
have been subjected. The fact that the
Governments credit has been ques-
toned from any source, and that it
was in the opinion of some put to the
test irA this relatively unimportant bor-
rowing to meet maturing short-term
obligations, is a significant thing.
AS for the investing publics response
70 the offer of one-year certificates,
which pay two and quarter per cent
interest as compared with the one
and five-eighths per cent interest on
two-year notes issued last August, there
is to be considered the rather inviting
rate Of interest; that the notes run for
only year; that the banks have an
extraordinary amount of reserves which
should be, but apparently are not, find
ing employment in private investment
markets, and that there may have been
. normal amount of padding by the
banks which subscribed for more than
they believed would be apportioned
when the subscriptions were closed.
Last August, when the Treasury bor-
rowed $850,o00,000 in eight-year bonds
and two-year certificates, the loan was
oversubscribed about five times.
Government credit becomes endan-
eered when its borrowings begin to
reach such staggering proportions, in
relation to normal income, that sus-
picion Is lodged in the public mind as
to the Governments ability to repas.
1t may also become endangered by COLI
tinued uncertainty, breeding fear, over
the soundness of the dollar with which
the Government will pay its loans.
Nothing has as yet happened to under
mine Government credit to that danger
GUS extent that it could no longer bor-
row money. The hope is that nothing
will. and one reason for the continued
strength of government credit, despite
decline in Government securities, is
confidence in the knowledge that Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself will exert all the
power at his command to sustain and
strengthen Government credit. Fears of
Government credit have not been en-
tertained because of what has hap
pened, but because of what might
happen should delicate and admitted
" experimental monetary policy get be-
yond the control of the responsible
authorities. Happily for the Nation, it
has not got beyond control.

A Voice From the West.

While the Roosevelt administration
seemingly is busy swapping horses in
the course of its journey toward the
relief'of the American farmer, warm
ing comes from Roy A. Roberts. man.
aging editor of the Kansas City Star,
that the farmers of the West are dis
turbed over the effort to raise do
mestic agricultural prices and to forget
about foreign markets. Mr.. Roberts
is in position to learn at first hand
the views of a great number of farm
ers. Addressing the Association Of
Life Insurance Presidents in New York
yesterday, he said that the farmers
are in curious state of mind DO
litically speaking" They have not. he
continued, "soured on the President to
any appreciable degree" But the
farmers have begun to have substan-
tial doubts regarding some of the
Roosevelt advisers and Roosevelt poll
cies.
Mr.. Roberts told his audience that
the farmer has not been sold" on the
N. r. A., and that. on the other hand,
the farmer is in the mood for imitation.
The first effects of the N. r. A., so far
ss the farmer is concerned, have been to
increase the prices of all the things
that the farmer must buy. The shorter
hours Of labor prescribed for indus
trial workers under the N. r. A. have
not registered satisfactorily with the
farmer, who works from sun-up to sun
down. The Kansas City editor de-
clared that he himself did not believe
in the proposals for currency imitation
advanced by some of the farmers, but
that nevertheless the demand for infia-
tion was there, fostered largely by the
failure Of the farm program to advance
the farm dollar to parity with the
dollar of the industrialist. Until farm
prices make q real advance the farm
ers, Mr.. Roberts insisted, will not be
satisfied.
While the farmers of the West are
dissatisfied and do not understand why
prices for their crops have not advanced.
they are showing q disposition to 60
along with the Roosevelt program. even
though lacking in faith. Mr.. Roberts
secuted the talk of revolutionary spirit
among the farmers. Revolutions" he
said, spring from empty bellies. not
full ones. and by and large the farmer
Is fat but ragged, awfully ragged"
There is no present indication that the
farmer has any thought of exchanging
the ballot box for the shotgun. This
assertion, coming from one who is in
constant touch with the farming areas
of the West. explains why the farmers
strike or farm holiday movement, which
was so widely advertised, made 50 little
headway. The agitators of the Milo
Reno type and their followers are far
in the minority.
Mr.. Roberts, while expressing doubt
of the efficacy of the administration
present plans, particularly in 50 far
as they do not take into consideration
the export markets for American farm
produce. expressed the firm belief that
in the end the farmers of the West
would emerge from the depression tn
sound state. The West" he concluded.

Some economists say that gold first
became a basis Of value because it
tickled the fancy of savases. Savage
fancy was also tickled by glass beads
and jack knives. In fact, mercantile
science relied from the FIRST in giving
the people what they wanted and
trying to translate values into terms
that would suit groups and individuals.
The calculation is q complicated one,
and every few generations must be fg-
ured all over again.

Mr.. Hocum Pinwheel, president Of the

You stand in amazement. knowing
nothing whatever to say at such treat

You never would learn that some per-

Is that you know reasonably well where

TObacconists TO End
Coupon Gift Scheme.
Irish Independent Dublin.-By an
agreement between organizations of to-
bacco manufacturers, the wholesalers
and retail tobacconists, the coupon gift
scheme will come to an end December
81 as regards manufacturers, and on
June 30 next as regards the retailers.
The manufacturers bind themselves
not to make or supply any cigarette
after December 81 with which are in
cluded coupons which the ultimate
purchaser can exchange for value in
commodities or otherwise. An agree
ment between the manufacturers and
the wholesalers binds the latter not to
supply retailers who decline to sign an
agreement in which they state they will
not handle coupon gifts after June 80.

The third part of the agreement is
between the manufacturers and those
retailers who are accustomed to buy
direct, and 1t embodies the conditions
already outlined.
Retailers who decline to give the
undertaking will not be permitted to buy
from wholesalers and must 90 direct to
the manufacturers, who will charge full
retail prices, less . discount only Of
