CRY OF THE SCHOOLS

CTORIES told by some forty state school
- superintendents in Washington on SatT-
day leave no doubt as to the extent of the
blight attacking free education in America.
DR.. Charles A. Lee Of Missouri new head
Of the National Council Of State Superintend-
ents and Commissioners of Education, says
that the schools are opening with 10000 fewer
teachers at their desks; many Of the million
teachers who have Jobs have taken cuts as
high as so per cent; half Of them receive less
than s4OO a year; more than s40O0000o is
owed them in salary warrants; some teachers
in the south get S35 month, or less than the
minimum set by NRA for day labor; whole
southern counties plan to run their schools
this winter three, four and five months; mid
west towns charge tuition for high schools.
Last year 100000 children attended school
only part time. In February 1900 schools
closed their doors against 100000 pupils.
Kindergartens were eliminated or curtailed
in ITO cities
With the school plants crippled as never be-
fore, 100000 new children, released from mill,
mine and factory by the NRA codes, now
knock at the classroom doors. With the gov
eminent for increased buying power 10000
teachers are being sent to the breadlineS.
Why? The depression. of course chiefly
is to blame But so are the antiquated local
tax systems and the senseless Implications of
small governmental units that President
Roosevelt says belong to the ox-cart days.
Finally there is a shallow and dangerous
propaganda against generalization" a covert
attack on the very foundation of the public
school system.
The educators are organizing to demand
federal aid. This means not only relief money
for needy teachers, public works funds for
school buildings, grants for adult and voca-
tional education. 1t means substantial grant
by the next congress to carry the schools over
the crisis, and probably a permanent federal
subsidy on the state-aid plan.
In the meantime, the states and commu-
mites must standardize their school needs, re-
form their tax systems, practice economy
through reorganization and kick politics and
privileges from their school administrations.

BY Times Reader
In your paper of Sept. II, I read
an article which I wish to call to
your attention: Traffic cop, struck,
chaseS down driver. Patrolman
Higgins nabs alleged drunk after
mishap"
AS citizen of our No Mean City,
I realize our police chief is making
a great effort to organize the best
force in the United States.
The traffic policeman in this case
stated some untruths. He had to
chase the fellow only part of a
block. This car was not veering over
the street. The policeman stopped
the car, jerked the offender out CT
his car with such force that he fell
to the pavement, striking his back
on the running board OF a waiting
car. Suppose he had broken his
back?
This mad policeman jerked him
up and pushed him in his car, and
took the wheel himself, leaving a
rush of traffic without a guide.
This poor fellow did not have a
chance to resist arrest Gas this cop
stated even if he had wanted to.
He sat humbly in his car, crying.
This happened directly in front
of our car, and we followed the car
to see if the policeman did KNOCK
him in the head" as he said.
Perhaps this fellow was drunk
and should be punished severely,
but is it the job of a common traf-

CHINESE PRE-EMINENCE

a LITTLE cable dispatch from China the
other day emphasizes, as few news items
ever do the incredible age Of the civilization
of that mysterious land.
1t recorded the fact that lady in Peiping
can trace her ancestry directly back to old
Confucius hinself-and that she is his sew
enty-seventh lineal descendant.
Since Confucius was born in 551 B. c., the
family is now little bit less than $500 years
Old In the face of record like that-it isn't
altogether uncommon either, in China-the
most pretentious of western genealogies must
look utterly insignificant.
To a person who can trace his family tree
that far back, an Americans pride in May
flower ancestor must look rather odd. And
even the proudest members of European no
bility, who claim direct descent from cru
saders and what-not, must be, in the eyes of
a cultured Chinese, mere upstairs.

HUEY'S NEW SINNER

THE sinner that an unknown washroom
L hero pinned on the Honorable Huey Longs
optic is not patch on what the patronage
bosses of his own party seem to be preparing
for him.
The other day at Milwaukee the Kingfish
was quoted as saying in his own charming,
but hayward, way that they can take their
patronage and go to hell with it," Strangely,
they are taking him at his word.
So far the administration has named five
men to Louisiana federal posts, and not one
was an outspoken Huey man. One was assayer
for the New Orleans mint If they didn't go
to hell with this plum neither did they go to
Louisiana. for the appointee hailed from far
of Utah.
In a week or so the administration will
name two appointees which the Kingfish
doubtless would love to call his own. One is
federal district attorney, the other collector
of internal revenue. Our scouts tell us that
neither will be an ardent partisan Of the gen.
tleman from Louisiana.
Now this is serious. A political boss, if he's
tough, can survive a punch in the eye and
even come out Of it a bit of hero. But show
us a boss that gets glory or anything. out
of being showed from under the plum tree by
his own party.

BLUE EAGLE PRICES

TINE Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
l. ton is ready to go to considerable
lengths to prevent" price gouging. This dec
laration should hearten consumers, who are
asked from all sides to Buy Now" as part Of
the recovery campaign.
If consumers know that the federal gov
eminent is ready to exercise its great powers
to stop profteering they naturally will be
more ready to spend their dollars.
Profteering is a two-edged sword. Prices
that are unreasonably high drive away pur-
chasers; less buying means lower industrial
and farm prices. Enlightened selfshness dc
tates that the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration, whose task is to raise farm
prices, sees that consumption is not decreased
by profteering
This price question is controlling one in
the present effort to raise mass purchasing
power.
NRA officials have appealed to manufac
turers to hold of price increases as long as
possible Triple officials say they will counte-
nance only fair increases In this situation it
is the housewife, naturally, who holds the big
stick
She is the biggest buyer; she knows when
prices are rising. She will be advised by Con-
suners' Counsel of NRA and Triple A, when
price increases are unreasonable.
Her complaints, if any, will get hearing
in Washington. Guarding herself, she helps
guard her fellow consumers and the producers
of the things she buys.
And in protecting her, the government is
helping the farmers, the industrialists, and
their workers, and fair competitors who are
living up to the spirit of the blue eagle

THAT'S POLITICS"

IF you sometimes wonder why American city
= government SO often is the despair of the
political scientist, you might listen to this true
story.
Maurice Maschke retired not long ago after
serving many years as Republican party boss
in Cleveland. The other night he made a
little speech to party gathering, reminiscing
about the old days in politics, and he told how
his machine finally had endorsed Cleveland's
famous mayor, Tom L. Johnson.
tom L. Johnson said Maschke, twas one
of the greatest mayors any American city
ever had, but we beat him."
Then an innocent young man in the audi
ence asked why, if johnson had been an eX
ceptional good mayor Maschke had taken
pride in throwing him out of office; and
Maschke smiled and said, THAT'S politics, my
boy"
And there you have it. Replace super
Iatively good man with a mediocre one, if
necessary; anything to get the jobs, no mat
ter how the city government may suffer.
That's politics.

NOT so STARTLING

IRON a letter written by man who just
l. has passed his both birthday, and whose
long and useful life has been distinctly on the
conservative rather than on the radical side
of things.
What change in the public mind! But
no greater than saw in my boyhOod.
my father was an abolitonist when they
were looked upon much as Bolshevists are
now.
I'm that day, human slavery had the same
public church, and political approval as other
property"
To those disposed to register alarm about
the rights of individualism in the present time
of change from laissez faire to cooperation,
it may be well to consider the fact which that
letter recalls.
Nothing in the whole 1888 program repre-
sentS so drastic transformation in terms Of
individual or property rights as did the events
in this country over seventy years ago.

clothing and household goods, just
as We have official regulation to pre-
vent sale Of impure foods, we might
avoid the evils Of overproduction in
the future.
Our whole plan, designed to throw
away this year what we bought with
such effort last year, creates a ra-
cial characteristic that is ominous
for the future. We have become a
nation Of moving. shifting, dissatis-
fed people, partly because We have
substituted the veneered for the
substantial in our homes.
Yet We know well that individuals
are influenced by their surround
ings. Cheap. shoddy men will be
the inevitable result of a system
that permits too long the manufac-
ture and sale Of cheap, shoddy
goods.

Bee Stings Fatal in Rare Cases

such a method of treatment. He
feels, however, that the method is
not to be applied unless all other
methods have failed.
In the ordinary case of singing
by bee, it merely is necessary to
apply some soothing lotion to the
spot. In the very severe cases, it
may be desirable to overcome the
shock by giving small doses of al
coholic liquors and by use Of the
preparations taken also in asth-
matte attacks, such as epinephrine,
the extract of the suprarenal
glands, or ephedrine.
Any lotion containing a half per
cent phenol or l per cent men
thol serves to relieve the pain and
itching at the site of the sting.
A person who has suffered multi
pie bee stings should be put
promptly to rest. The action of his
heart and of his kidneys should be
watched carefully
If his blood pressure falls rapidly,
he will require support for the blood
pressure to sustain his life.

POSTAL SAVINGS

THERE is much to be said for bankers OPP
position to the provision in the new law
guaranteeing deposits. It is true that such
panaceas have not worked when attempted by
the states. It also is true that this part Of the
new law was hasty and rather iu-begotten
compromise not particularly pleasing to any
one, least of all apparently to the administra-
ton.
Probably the next congress will improve the
law before its permanent guarantee provisions
become effective.
But the bankers in their opposition would
be on firner ground, and carry more convic-
ton with the public victimized by bank fall
ures, if they we're not trying to destroy the
postal savings system.
The postal savings system is the best form
of government insurance We have. 1t should
be extended. It would have been extended by
the last cOngress-Senator Dill believed that
he had administration support for his bill
except for bankers opposition on the one hand
and on the other hand the notion of certain
reformers that effective guarantee of deposits
in private banks is possible.
Whether the latter is improbable, as most
bankers believe, or is assured Of success, as
Controller of the Currency O'Connor told the
1 recent bankers convention, will not be proved
luntil the private system is tried.
! Meanwhile no more disturbing statement
has come out Of official Washington than
O'Connors declaration that Congress would
be justified in repeating the postal savings
act"
If this is the administrations policy, it is
going backward, not forward. If it is not adj
ministration policy-and it probably is not
Controller O'Connor should not be allowed to
deal in that propaganda.
The controller of the currency, of all per-
sons at this time, is too busy or should be too
busy, with his legitimate duties to start wreck
ing government institutions.

rs the manufacture Of cheap goods
l. ever justified? What is woman's
duty as deciding factor of this
question? If the government sees
the need for controlling quantity,
should it not at the same time en-
force a standard Of quality?
These are interesting questions
raised by correspondent. I do
indeed share her concern in the
matter, and feel that the American
housewife, if she wishes, could do a
great deal to improve present con-
ditionS.
The only thing that prevents her
is shortsightednesS. We are not
always alert to our own best inter-
ests, hence the nickel we save today
seems larger than the dollar we
might save tomorrow.
It is true that the domestic mar
ket is flooded with slloddy goods.

He charges that drunkenness has
increased. Can he prove it? He
can not, but it can be proved that
it has decreased since the advent
of 80 beer. Take as an example
at our recent state fair, where beer
was sold for the first time in sixteen
years. There were only two arrests
made for drunkenness, while in the
past sixteen years, when no beer
was sold, it averaged ten a day.
Take also some old records, like
the check-up made in 1914, when
the country was wet under a legal
arrangement. In a list of $50 towns
in the United States there were
made in that year 522,O49 arrests
for drunkenness. Now take the
same cities in 1882, during prohibi-
ton rule. There were SIT 1852 ar
rests made for drunkenness; in
other words, a gain of 55,113 ar
rests.

fact that approximately eighty mil
