SCHOOL SYSTEM BREAKS DOWN

IT used to be joke when some unexpected
emergency forced a public school to close
ahead of schedule. Today the joke has lost
its point. 1t has been repeated too many times
The National Education Association has
figures to show that on April the most
recent date for which statistics are available
nearly 100000 American school children had
been given holidays not called for in schedules.
More than 1900 schools have been closed
entirely. In nearly every city and town school
teachers salaries have been cut, the cuts rang
ing from 10 TO 40 per cent. In many other
places teachers haven't been able to collect
what is owed them
And in innumerable places school schedules
have been shortened, certain classes have been
discontinued teaching STATS have been re-
duced, and special features have been dropped
What we have here plainly, is an emer-
gency which fails to shock us only because it
has come upon us gradually
1t is needless to point out that our whole
social and political setup rests on a sound
adequately supported public school system. The
fact speaks for itself.
Lying w III a QCllIOCAdOy III d IBc,
heavily industrialized nation without giving
every child as much of an education as his
mental powers permit him to assimilate is
worse than trying to make bricks without
straw. 1t is simply impossible.
Yet We are rapidly approaching the point
Of complete collapse in our school system.
We can't much longer continue to pare our
school services, pay off our teachers with I'M
substantial promises, and extend our holiday
periods without involving the whole nation
in an extremely serious predicament.
And it is not quite enough to keep our
fingers crossed and hope that the pending
business revival will solve all our troubles.
The depression not only has cut revenues
of our school boards. 1t has revealed pro-
found faults in the whole system by which the
schools have been at the mercy of the poll
ticians
Ineff1ciency, corruption and the spoils sys-
tenn in city and state government are exacting
a terrible price.
To rehabilitate the schools we must, even
tually, rehabilitate all machinery of local self
government

I AWNS and sidewalks in Indianapolis are
- covered with wriggling earthworms as the
result Of the recent rains, Experts assure us
that the worms are neither larger nor more
numerous than in previous years They only
appear so TO the citizen who tries to get from
his kitchen door to his garage without STEP
ping on half dozen of them.
These worms are called by a variety of
names, among them dew-worms and fish
worms. The scientists know them more tech
nically as the "Lumbricus terrestis"
The average citizen-unless he is fisher
man-may regard earthworms merely as nuis-
ances But it was the great Charles Darwin
who pointed out their value in the scheme of
life
They break up the soil and turn it over,
thus increasing its fertility. 1t is estimated
that the upper ten inches Of soil is entirely
turned over once in seven years by activity OF
eerthworms.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

it hardly would have been allowed by the usu-
al jurist
But Judge Ulman realized the educational
value of the case and established what may
prove an epoch making precedent in American
criminal Jurisprudence. He admitted that
Duker was insane according to legal stand
ards, but also declared that he was clearly
case of "psychopathic personality" and, hence,
quite incapable of normal social conduct
For the first time in the history of Amer
lean criminal procedure dealing with adults
the notion of psychopathic personality was
given definite legal standing. Medical science
and enlightened Jurisprudence were at last
allowed to come into actual contact.
Judge Ulman also took advantage of the op-
portunty to establish another healthy prece-
dent by condemniA g Duker to be hanged, not
as a punishment for his crime, but as
measure of social sanitation Holding that he
was incurabe, could not be safely returned TO
society, and would disrupt prison discipline if
confined, he concluded that determination was
the desirable disposition Of the case.
On this point the judge was reversed by
Governor Richie, who committed Dukers sem
tence to life imprisonment

MUSCLE SHOALS AT LAST

TINE great Tennessee river basin improve
Il ment is about to begin
Another congress has passed another Muscle
Shoals bill probably the best so far This time
Franklin D. Roosevelt sits in the White House,
and this time the progressives have not been
thwarted, as they we're by Mr. Coolidge and
Mr. Hoover. Mr. Roosevet's signature has
enacted the bill into law, and the great social
and economic experiment can be started
Muscle Shoals these last twelve years while
progressives led by Senator George w Norris
have fought to keep the governments huge
plant for the governments own use has be-
come The symbol of the power fight. 1t has
become the symbol of government operation of
a hydro-electric plant, a yardstick by which
the rates of private power companies could be
measured.
Through these years Senator Norris made
the fight to save Muscle Shoals for the people
who paid for it, and now his dream and that
Of President Roosevelt are possible because of
that valiant battle
His bill prevailed in the conference between
the two houses last week. He is responsible
for the fexibility of the law to permit the
necessary exercise of broad discretion in
undertaking this experiment, which eventually
will result in decentralization of industry
throughout that valley, the sale of cheap power
to states, counties, cities, and cooperative
organizations of farmers.
President Roosevelt is expected soon to ap-
point the three members of the board to
administer the project, and no more important
jobs have been his to fill
AS the house conferees on the bill said:
I'VE are persuaded fully that the full success
Of the Tennessee valley development will de-
pend more upon the ability vision, and execu-
tive capacity of the members of the board than
upon legislative provisions
1t is to be hoped that Mr. Roosevelt will
not be influenced unduly by geographical fac
tors. nor by the fact that the conduct of the
Tennessee experiment will require minute.
accurate technical knowledge of many sorts.
He should, we believe, appoint men who.
first believe in the Tennessee project They
should be men of vision, who understand the
human and economic effects of the develop
ment.
1t will be easy enough for them to hire
technical experts. chemists, engineers hydro
electric experts to work out details

SUPPORTING PRESS FREEDOM

y EWSPAPERMEN are bound to be inter-
ested in the new law put into effect in
New Jersey recently, under which no court,
grand jury or other inquistorial body could
require any reporter to divulge the source
of confidential information used in news
articles
This law simply recognizes what long has
been the code of the news-gathering profess
sion: That a reporter is in honor bound to
protect the person from whom he gets in
formation of legitimate interest to the public.
Courts and grand juries frequently have
tried to compel reporters to reveal their
sources, and in most instances they have
failed.
All too often they have made the attempt
simply because the reporter in question had
made public something that certain highly
placed folk wanted concealed, and the action
has been an effort to get the reporter in a
hole.
New Jerseys law is a new bulwark for free
dom of the press.

7 AM told in every mail that the
L modern woman is not a good
sport. She smiled during prosperity
but she is peevish in depressions
so runs the gist of the arguments.
And the tone of many implies that
it's high time I gave up trying to
defend the sex.
But I shan't do it, no matter what
happens, because most of the loose
talk about the modern wife's Gus
sedness is exaggerated. I never
have professed to think her an
angel and by the same reasoning I
never shall remain silent to hear
her dubbed devil.
And isn't it true, besides, that we
can not generalize about men and

a great many. No two of us are

AL SMITHS REFUSAL

TT is disappointing to learn that Al Smith
refuses to be drafted for service as mayor
of New York. The job needs him badly, and
he could perform tremendous service in it.
To be sure the matter is not especially
important to any one but the citizens of the
metropolis itself But we may have an inter
est in it, and his appearance in that job would
have been good news all over the country
New York needs a mayor of Smiths capa-
city more than it needs anything else; it
would have been like a breath of fresh air to
see him step in to occupy the place formerly
held by such men as Walker and Hylan.
For years it has been common criticism
that city government is the weak point of
American democracy. 1t is a rare event when
large city gets as mayor a man who is even
passably equipped for the job
Al Smith seems to have been made to order
for the job in New York. 1t is pity that
he won't take it.

FRIDAY. MAY 10. 1888


HERR HITLER piped down when con-
L Il fronted by an American British French
Italian Russian united front against him. That
is the significance of his wild speech on foreign
pocy--no more, no less.
To assume that the Nazi mailman has
changed his policy would be folly. The atti-
tude Of the French and British people toward
Hitler is that actions speak louder than words.
Ungracious as such attitude may appear to
those who have not followed Hitlers career, it
is the only sensible reaction.
Hitler has done more to retard revision of
the unjust Versailles treaty, more to retard
International recognition of Germanys rights
to equality, than any man living He actually
is Germanys own enemy.
The fact is that until Hitler became Ger
man dictator, both the United States and
Great Britain were siding with Germany and
against France on the treaty revision issue.
Now neither the London nor the Washington
government, nor any other government in its
sense, willingly would increase the power and
prestige Of such an international frebrand.
1t is not that foreign governments or peo-
pies desire to NEEDLE in the internal affairs
of Germany. 1t is that foreign governments
for their own self -protection desire to prevent
another world war.
Peace can not be built upon hate. Hitler
has tried to turn all Germany into vast
caldron of hatred
Peace can not be built on military revenge.
Hitler is persuadng millions of Germans to
trust in a revival of Prussianism.
Peace can not be built on racial and class
persecution Hitler by his brutal and cowardly
terrorism against jews against German cul-
ture, against labor unions, is planting inter-
national dynamite-he is turning foreign
countries into enemies not only of Hitler bar
barism, buI unfortunately enemies of Ger
many.
This is the great tragedy in the situation
