schools are expected TO run less than
three months.
The loss of years schooling in the
life of boy or girl is not irreparable.
But the demoralizing influences of en-
forced idleness, the progressive break
down of a public educational system,
the birth of fatalistic philosophy
which surrenders the schools instead of
fighting TO the last ditch to preserve
them-these are some of the losses diff
flcult to measure in words.
One of the necessary elements Of re-
covery is to prevent the further break
down Of the Nations school system and
to begin rebuilding the fallen structure
now. Education week has been valu-
able in focusing public attention upon
what Commissioner Zook correctly calls
a social difficulty from which we can
extricate ourselves only with great

THEN AND NOW
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN d. d. ILL., d. d. C. L.
Bishop of Washinr - =

"The work of Righteousness shall be
peace" From war to peace, this was
the message of Armistice day is
years ago. The world was exultant
and even saddened hearts felt that a
new morning had come. Then there
was the universal resolve in the hearts
Of men the world over that the wicked
folly of war was to be thing of the
past. II a concordat of the nations
could have been effected in the event.
ful weeks following the armistice, no
diplomat or statesman would have sur
vived who refused to ratify 1t. A wave
of spiritual fervor swept the nations
and men and women who long since
had forgot to pray were on their knees
In gratitude to God for the ending OF
the mighty catastrophe.
On this latest Armistice Sunday, as
we consistently review the trends and
tendencies of our modern world, we
can hardly believe that the high ideals
that occupied the minds of men but
a few years ago today impel them to
ways and means that lead
to world order and peace Within
recent months the note of alarm has
been sounded by discriminating OBJ

vantage, are disclosing militant
spirit that invitably leads to war. A
observer, a diagnostician
Of world symptoms, has recently said:
Let us not be deceived by the super
ficial talk of those who imagine that
because men use the word peace the
curse of war has been abolished. The
wound is deep. the root of the trouble
Is in the heart" This is not the ex-
preston of an extreme pacifist nor is
1t the word Of one who denies the rea-
of an adequate constabu-
larry on land and sea- While the will
TO peace or the will to war is largely
determined in the chancelleries and

Breakdown of Public Education

The voluntary abolition of child
labor in many industries signatory to
the codes of fair competition has been
one Of the major triumphs of the new
deal.
Education week, just passed. has
placed renewed emphasis upon a con-
oition that in many respects is as
serious as child labor. 1t is child idle
ness. 1t is the failure, because of the
depression and the virtual bankruptcy
Of some cities, States and counties. to
provide educational facilities for the
children.
1t is not known, in statistical detail,
the amount Of increased responsibility
placed upon the public schools by the
abolition of child labor. 1t is manifest
that the responsibility has increased.
But at the time when the schools
should be able to assume that RESPONSE
bility they have been starved down to
skeletons or abandoned entirely by hard
pressed taxpayers, by short-sighted
public officials or by an unhappy COM
bination of both

alarming array the records of blows 10

There are more than two and quar-

definition by most compulsory educa-
ton laws. are of school age, but who
today are not getting any schooling.
Nearly 1000 schools in half the

No Longer Rlase.

Dean Virginia C.. Gildersleeve Of
Barnard College, Columbia University,
makes an interesting contribution
toward a greater and more accurate
understanding of the psychology of the
new era into which. prophets believe,
the Nation is entering. The depression,
she suggests. is producing an altered at
utude Of mind on the part of the youth
Of the land; and the change Is for the
better. THE spirit of blase indiffer-
ence" which was rather prevalent"
among college students seems now TO
have entirely disappeared" The girls
of Barnard reflect the larger compre-
hension of the seriousness Of life which
gradually has been developing under
the influence Of industrial and eco
nomic dislocation. They manifest,
their spokesman says, "a more serious
interest in work and play"
Any other phenomenon, of course,
would have been unnatural in the cir
cumstances. The long ordeal through
which the people have been passing
cannot have failed to affect their tenn
perament. 1t was all very well to think
of life as huge joke while times were
theoretically prosperous, while money
was flowing in swollen flood, while
speculation was the universal rule and
taking chances" was popular fashion.
But when the crash came, the vulgarity,
the pertness, the sophistication char
acteristic of it, perforce, collapsed. Nor
NAL men and women, boys and girls, do
not attempt to make jest of disaster.
The business Of living has become a
earnest affair, and Dean
Gildersleeve cites one example of the
new approach. College students recog-
nize the need for realistic graphing
with social problems just as their elders
it.
Good, 1t seems, occasionally does arise
from evil. The bitter suffering of the
past three years surely has had cleans
Ing effect upon the American mind, the
American soul. It has secured it free
Of pretense and pose. No one nowadays
can afford to be selfishly blase. A thirst
for sanity has taken the place of the
quest for thrills. Young people want
new kind of adventure Their objective
Is the achievement of technique of
life equal to the demand. Dean Glider

the repetition Of such conflict must
inevitably result in conditions more dire
ana disastrous than any the world has
known. The motive for war is thus
suggested by great teacher of old I:
from whence come wars and fight
ings among you? Come they not hence,
even OF your lusts that war in your
members?" His contention Is that
behind willful and rebellious and
fighting spirit resides nature that
knows no restraint and that refuses to
impose self-discipline. The man or ma
ton governed by uncontrolled passions
Is poor and inpotent exponent of
peace. Examples of this type are clam

ileges which they vigorously deny to
others. After all, the ideals and mo-
tives that fashion our conduct and de-
termine our course are generated In

practices and habits that lead to dis
order and violence. OF more i'm
portance than conferences that have to

ment is the cultivation of virtues that
make for comfy and annity among
races and peoples.
One OF the greatest generals of the
late World War declared that if the
churches of the world would seriously
resolve and unite upon policy of world
peace they would become a mighty force
to this end. Those Of us who believe
IN the supremacy of the Prince of

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHHANDER JOHNSON.
Fable of the Obstinate Idol.

FaDie OF the Obstinate Idol.
Ihere once was placed upon display
An idol who had feet of clay;
Our great devotion, truth to tell.
Provided him with an umbrell
BY fond imagination built.
Nobody cared to see him wilt.
We did not wish the rain and sleet
To make him wobble on his feet.
Alas, this idol could not rest
AS We for him would do out best
He resolutely would refuse
Even our gifts of overshoes.
He viewed with pride his feet of clay
Our weakest points oft work that way
And when thunder storm drew nigh
He boldly gazed into the sky;
Then, to our unavailing dread,
He calmly stood upon his head
When he was finished by the food
His feet of clay were merely mud.
The engineers and artists, too.
In consultation met anew,
And still they seek some way complete
To put him safe back on his feet.
Moral.
No moral can be clearly shown.
Just go ahead. Select your own.

of American manufacturers, labor and
farmers.
Government experts are studying the
effect on our export trade of the labor
provisions of the various N. r. A. codes.
The Departments of State and Com
merce have been receiving reports from
their field officers in foreign countries
as to the effect of increased prices of
American goods on our export trade;
similarly, to what extent imports are
increased by rising prices here.
In few weeks An important inter-
national conference is to be held in
Montevideo, Uruguay, at which trade
agreements dealing with reciprocal
tariff concessions, exchange restrictions,
dumping and like subjects will come up
for consideration. 1t is hoped by Wash
ington officials and others interested
in foreign trade that, before this con-
ference meets, 1t will have been pos
slble for our Government to come to
agreements with the governments of
some of the countries in Latin America.
While the principal industrial and
commercial countries of the world seem
to be absorbed in their efforts toward
going it alone" in an economic way,
evidence is not lacking that interna-
tional trade is some how going to sur
vive and advance. In the case Of the
United States. official figures now show
that our foreign trade expanded in Sep
tember for the fifth consecutive month.
British Board of Trade figures indicate
that Japan led the world in trade ex-
pansion for the first six months of
1888
As yet it is not clear whether the
United States will be able to reduce its
tariff rates or will be compelled to in
crease them; neither is it clear whether,
lacking definite authority from Con-
gress, the President will find it DOS
sible to negotiate special reciprocity
in line with the regional
agreements" now engaging the atten-
ton of some European governments.
It does seem fairly certain, however.
that, while our recovery plan is COM
pelling us TO make certain internal in
dustrial and agricultural readjustments.
the United States is by no means ready
10 surrender its fair share of world
trade. certainly not without a struggle.

Afghanistan's Kings.

If royalty in Afghanistan goes in for
life insurance, it must find it an ex-
pensive luxury, If actuarial rates are
computed on the basis of kingly NOR
tality in that romantic Asiatic realm.
With the assassination of King Nadir
Shah at Kabul last week, its second
monarch in succession has met with a
violent death. Afghanistan's royal rec
ord during the past five years has been
filled with turbulence and bloodshed.
In 1928 Amanullah Khan lost his
crown as the result of abdication forced
by the peoples resentment of his in

only ten months before he was over
thrown and slain by an uncle of
Amanullah, a former stable-boy. who
assembled the throne as King Nadir
Shah. 1t is he who has just been mur-
dered at Kabul by an Afghan student
repatriated from Germany. Whether
the assassination had a personal cause
or indicates a new political trend has
not yet been disclosed.
At Rome the deposed Amanullan ex-
presses sacrificial readiness to return
to Kabul If his former people want him.
He is not deferred from a willingness
to tempt fate again by the spirit of
"uneasiness" to which he attributes
Afghanistan's penchant for getting rid
Of its royalty on short notice, but he lays
down as condition that the country
accept his program of progress
Amanullah by this time probably has
heard that the British, especially the
India government, would frown upon
his resumption of the throne, which has
already been taken by Mohammed Zahir
Shah, the twenty-one-year-old son Of
the lately slain King. Amanullah re-
