Of some 1000 needed rural school

rural school districts are not MAX
ing the necessary minor repairs
to keep their buildings and equip
ment from deterioration.
EnroIlments Rising
He points out that while the
supply of educational opportunity
is diminishing, the demand con-
tinues to increase. Each year
there have been approximately
200,0 more children enrolled in
the public schools than the year
previous.
Meanwhile, there has been q
decreasing number Of teachers,
which combined with the increas-
ing number of pupils means q
higher pupil-teacher ratio and in
most schools an increased size of
class. There was a general ten
dency, however, to increase class
size in city school systems before
the depression.
With the prospect of d greatly
increased enrolment and q fur
ther retrenchment in expenditures,
educators are apprehensive that
the school crisis this year viii be
even more acute than it was last
year when teachers in several
states worked without pay and
thousands of schools were closed
months before the expiration of
their regular terms.

TALLAHASSEE, Aug. go.
Democracy itself is threatened by
the extent to which the public has
'gone road minded instead Of
school minded Cary D. Lands,
attorney general and member Of
the state board of education, told
vocational agriculture teachers at
their annual conference at Day
tona Beach.
Mr.. Lands attacked the policy
of still spending vast sums for
roads, while the schools starved.
Florida, he declared, already has a
superb highway system, yet carries
q budget of approximately $751;
000, 900, including federal aid, for
roads, with the public school sys-
tenn threatened.
We must get away from roads
to education or we will fail as a
democracy" he declared. Flor

Great Expense
While school terms are being
shortened, endangering the posi-
ton Of the Florida school system,
Lands said, new roads continually
are being built at great expense to
the nuhIic.
Let's preserve the thing that
has preserved our nation the at
torney general said, the educa-
ton Of the youth 0f America. He
expressed his belief that public In
struction has saved the nation from
many revolutions. (Daytona
Beach News-Journal)
Lands criticized both federal
and state governments for spend
ing So many millions on roads,
"any Of which are unnecessary. at
the expense Of schools. Mainten-
ance Of present highways he said,
SHOULD be sufficient, If to build
more would mean shortening Of
school terms and otherwise cut
down educational facilities 50 vital

Tampa Tribunel
School Emergency
The state Of Florida is to re-
ceive from the federal government
/. an unexpected gift Of $4,000. 900
for roads. With the revenues from
the gasoline tax, plus the usual
matching Of funds by the United
States, and plus this latest and
most generous contributions, the
state of Florida will have road
building orgy equalled only by the
COON time frenzy. Yet the schools
opening this fall will have shorter
terms, teachers salaries will be
reduced again, and the past due
bills will remain unpaid.
In enacting National Recovery
Act, congress declared that nm
emergency exists. Can there be
any greater emergency than the
condition which now exists In ref
erenco to public school education?
Is it absolutely necessary that
more roads be built? Why cant
some Of the state gasoline money
be diverted 10 the schools? II the
deficit in the school funds were
mt hy the gasoline tax there would
be plenty left for All necessary
road building.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.
The nations school sys-
tenn, already crippled by
lack Of funds and facilities
to care for normal edu-
cational needs, faces an ex-
ira burden this fall.
Thousands Of children, released
from the wage earners' ranks by
elimination of child labor under
the various Industrial codes, will
be seeking their places in schools
where classes have been over
crowded and where educational
services have been eliminated or
drastically curtailed.
Shorter Sessions Likely
Officials Of the National Edu-
cation association predict that ow-
ing to the shortage Of funds and
to widespread retrenchment, the
average school year Of 1933-1934
win be shortened two months, q
.curtailment double that of the
preceding year.
DR.. William G. Carr, assistant
director of the research division
of the association, says that in the
last school year more than $780,
900 children were allowed to at
tend school only on a part-time

SENSIBLE MARY PICKFORD

NHARY PICKFORD, arriving in New York
4VA from Hollywood finds swarm of re-
porters waiting for her. She talks to them
freely on all subjects but one-her suit Tor
divorce. On that she says, she has expressed
herself already and she does not propose
to have anything more to say about it at all.
And right there this particular movie star
shows a bit of good sense that does not always
seem to be part of the equipment of Holly
loow lunninarieS.
Movie folks may not have any more marital
troubles than other people, but when they do
have them they get into the headlines; and
in all too many cases the participants are
ready to tell all on the slightest provocatlon'
or even on no provocation at all.
Miss Pickford has the good taste to keep
her domestic troubles to herself. Would that

enough when at last one is given to them.
That this song is universally popular does not
make it any the less real poetry. The same
may be said Of Lazy Bones" and Stormy
Weather"
It is not the first time that the American
public has shown that it welcomes and ap-
preciates popular music Of quality. The
Show Boat" music, which after riding re-
curing waves of popular favor has at last
come to harbor as classic, is an example.
"Old Man River" is authentic.
Half a generation ago the American pub
lies taste in literature seemed to take sud-
den rise Novels written with serious literary
intention, such as those Of Sinclair Lewis and
Villa Gather, became best-seIlers.
Perhaps the time has come for the prod
uct Of Tin Pan Alley to go the way of the
dime novel. There are indications that there
is market in America for popular music of
high grade. Here IS an opportunity for real
poets and composers and for music publishers
with vision.

WORRY ABOUT OUR LEISURE

TUST as if we didn't have plenty OF other
y things to think about, some Of our most
notable uplifters are beginning to worry
over the way in which John Citizen is likely
to use the extra leisure time which the new
deal is supposed to bring him.
The whole tendency these days is to
shorten the hours Of labor, and it is a pretty
good bet that this tendency will go good
deal farther before it gets through.
The tlve-day weeE; already is becoming
fairly common; glimmering on the horizon
is the dream of the technocrats of society
in which two or three hours work day will
be all that will be required of any man.
1t happens that ell-intentioned people
are wondering if this won't be a very bad
thing for the ordinary man. He will have
more spare time than ordinary men ever
had before anywnere-except, possibly, on
some of the more idyllic South Sea islands
and the general idea seems to be that this
is apt to be very bad thing for him.
So. sandwiched in between discussions of
the monetary policy and dissertations on the
new economic era, come solemn warnings that
people must be educated to use their leisure
wisely: and somehow it all seems more than
slightly ridiculous.
Recreation" the magazine published by
the National Recreation Association, has an
interesting little anecdote in its current issue.
An investigator went about asking working
people how they were using the extra spare
time which the shorter working week has
brought them.
She found one working woman sitting on
a porch and shot the question at her
st just set" said the woman. when get
tired settin here. I go inside and set"
And that seems to say it very we'll. Prob
ably it would be fine thing if ordinary folk
hocked to symphony concerts and art mu-
seums en- masse, or took up painting as
hobby, or attended all available lectures. or
devoted themselves to good works.
But they won't. They'll patronize amuse-
ment parks and ball games and movies, they'll
use their autos more, they'll stay home and
putter around the house; and many of them
will be content to "just set
And most of them, Just setting" will
contrive to be happy, which is after all the
important thing.

THE LABOR BOARD

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has come to the
u rescue of the national labor board Not
that it was in any grave danger at the
moment. But you never can tell what will
happen when hostile lawyers begin shooting.
as in the Weirton steel case.
The new executive order reaf1rms the
boards authority to settle labor disputes "by
mediation. Cancellation or arbitration" and
adds blanket power ito compose all conflicts
threatening the industrial peace of the coun-
try" Then, in case of any legalistic doubt
concerning past authority of the board under
the earlier executive order, the new order
statesi
All action heretofore taken by this board
In the discharge Of its functions is hereby
approved and ratified"
No agency created by the Roosevelt admin
istration is more important than the national
labor board. 1t was suggested to the President
last August by the unanimous recommended
ton of the employers and labor advisory
boards of NRA. But it is not, and should
not be- a part of MIRA or of any other
agency. AS tribunal its independence should
be preserved.
Getting away to a slow start, the board
and its regional branches under the exceed
ingly able leadership of the chairman, Senator
Wagner and of DR.. Leo Wolman, soon made
itself indispensable.
To expect industrial peace in this country
now or at any time without some such power
full labor supreme court for the orderly settle
ment Of disputes is absurd. Congress should
make this a permanent independent agency
Of government.

COMING THROUGH, AGAIN

TT is getting so that it is hardly news to
learn that Colonel Lindbergh has finished
another long and perilous flight on schedule,
without mishap or anything remotely resem-
bling one His most recent exploit is, when
you stop TO examine it, pretty remarkable as
a demonstration of the things a skilled pilot
can do with a good airplane; but somehow
Colonel Lindbergh succeeded in making it
look very easy.
When he made that spectacular flight to
Paris, years ago, people said that he was
lucky Then, when they saw more Of him,
observed the skill with which he handled his
plane and the painstaking manner in which
he made his preparations so as to leave
nothing to chance, they stopped using that
adjective.
They began to see that what got him
through was not luck, but an uncommon de-
gree of professional competence. Everything
that ne has done since then simply confirms
that opinion.
If any man on earth deserves the title OF

BUSINESS POLICIES ON TRIAL

WHEN the administration turned its at
tention recently to the nations COM
munications Systems-itS telephones wireless
telegraph and radio Observation-Disclosures
dispatches pointed out that three courses were
open to it.
1t could leave everything just as it is
1t could set up an inclusive monopoly I'M
der fairly strict government supervision.
1t could take the whole business over I'M
der a straight-out government ownership and
operation scheme.
Significantly, 1t was reported that the pre-
ponderating sentiment in the administration
leaned toward the second of these three
courses.
All this Is interesting, not only because the
fate of very large industry is involved but
because this particular case is a pretty good
sample of the choices open to us in connec-
ton with all industry.
No matter what we choose to call the
policies which go to make up the new deal, it
is pretty clear that eventually the govern
ment's attitude toward industry in general
will have to follow one of these three lines.
The choice will depend less on the ideas of
the officials at Washington than on the Senti-
ment Of the country as a whole In the last
analysis the administration can do only what
the mass of Americans want it to do; and the
question now is, What do the American people
want?
There are grounds for suspecting that the
ordinary citizen has his doubts about the wis
dom of going ahead with the old system of
ovor,, ,,,a,, for himself On tho other hand
there is very little reason to believe that there
is any widespread demand for government
ownership.
But the remaining choice-monopoly I'M
der government CONTROLS something so new,
and contains so many chances to make mis-
takes, that plenty of people have their doubts
about it, also.
The truth of the matter probably is that
the ordinary citizen hasn't made up his mind
TO decide.
For the program now being followed is in
the nature of proving ground. We are going
TO see how these things work out in actual
practice.
Certain parts of the NRA will let us see
how monopoly under federal supervision
works: such things as the Muscle Shoals ex-
periment will give us a look at government
operation; our own memories will tell US about
the let-things-alone plan.
BY the time the present administration is
due to go before the electorate for a verdict.
we ought to be ready to decide which scheme
ve wish to adopt as a settled long-range
policy

It's so encouraging to find that
practically all OF the stars began

and that by their own tireless eff

their almost inspired ambition, aid

it is that our merchants deserve the upturn.

their service and they've made the best OF
four bad years.
The upturn seems to have come. The mer-
chants are happy. The man on the street Is
starting to feel little more clipper.
Really, it does look like Merry Christmas
