MOST RULING FAMILIES OF
EUROPE ARE YOUNG UPSTAIRS.

Much interest was manifested every
where in the marriage last week of
Prince George of England, youngest
son of George V, and the Princess
Mariana of Greece 1t calls attention
to the old, old rule that sons of mon
archs must not marry outside royalty
and also to the fast diminishing num-
Der of monarchies in the world.
1t will surprise most people to know
that the presidency of Harvard college
has much older pedigree and prestige
than has any European king outside of
little Denmark The ruling family of
England dates from TIA, that of Italy
from 1860, that of Holland from 1915,
and that of Belgium from 1880. The
reigning house of Sweden is descended
from a self-made Napoleonic general
by the name of Bernadotte. Norway
has been kingdom only since 1905
and Albania since 1928, Rumania and
Bulgaria have ruling dynasties that
were imported from Germanic origins
during the nineteenth century Jugo-
slavia has royal family that was
founded by one who was bandit
swineherd a century ago, Denmark
alone of all Europe can go back into
medieval times for the origin of its
ruling house.
The kingdoms of England, Holland,
Belgium and Scandinavia are demo-
cratic and popular with their subjects.
They are stable and self-effacing. But
the future of kings is very uncertain
in Jugoslavia, Bulgaria, Rumania and
Albania, as the recent assassination Of
Alexander of Jugoslavia clearly indi-
Gated, Sooner or later the Balkans will
join the rest of Europe with democratic
forms of government Gone are the
monarchies of France, Portugal, Spain,
Germany, Austria, Russia, Turkey,
Greece, and elsewhere. The Italian
monarchy has ceased to be hereditary.
the Fascist Grand Council now having
the power to regulate succession to the
Italian throne. And Mussolini is for all
practical purposes ruler of Italy
Although the kings are fading away,
titles of nobility still hang on with great
vigor Only Norway, Switzerland, Jugo-
slavia, Bulgaria and Greece are com
pletely free from them An interesting
note is that the kingdoms of Norway
and Jugoslavia are titleless while the
republics of France and Germany are
crammed with them.

something good enough TO warrant a

HELPING BOYS.

mo man stands so straight as when
he stoops to help boy"
With so many millions Of men out of
work it is such an easy matter to be-
come careless and pay no attention to
boys Men are doubly busy with the
affairs of business and trying to figure
out how they can live up to their
codes. Worrying details occupy ones
mind Yet, all about us, are boys who
need help-the help that comes from
encouraging words, helping hand, a
little boost All these helpful things take
just a minute of any mans time-and
yet they mean SO much to boy.
1t does not take long for boy to
grow and develop into man. 1t may
be that what we say today will have a
big influence on what kind of a man
he will be. Are we doing the thing that
will help the boy? Just cordial word
of greeting in the morning as the boy
is on his way to school will frequently
give the lad just the needed encourage
ment for that particular day Do we do
that? Can we truthfully say that we
have been the means and channel by
which boy gets inspiration to do bet
ter things.
There is SO much we can do in boys
work without ever having TO take any
time to do it. Most men are willing to
do this if they only realized how easily
it can be done
mo man stands SO straight as when
he stoops to help boy. '-Times-Her-

EDUCATION SECOND LARGEST
BUSINESS.

IF one were asked to name the sec
ond largest business in the country the
guess would probably be either steel,
automobiles, meat-packing or possibly
amusements. But the guess would be all
wrong. The second largest business is
education.
Ehe business that stands at the top
is the wholesale and retail trade And
then comes the institution that started
so humbly in the little red school house,
as one writer puts it. That statement
will probably be a surprise to many.
Here are some figures from the edu-
cation office in Washington.
Even though the big, bad depression
wolf was growing at most doors during
1881 still there was spent during that
time the neat little sum of So 1854 900 900
on book larnin'. This exceeded the
value of the biggest industry's products
in that time, that Of meat packing,
which amounted to $2,181 900, 900. Motor
vehicles came next with Sl,568 900 600.
Figured on an annual basis, public
and private education costs every adult
$40 today as compared to $44 in 1929
30. The average amount spent on each
child in public school varies from s31
in Arkansas to $152 in New York. For
the country as whole the average is
$87
More and still better education is
the need of the country. No one will
begrudge these huge sums if their
expenditure will result in properly edu-
eating the youth of the land.

What Other Editors Think

And Editor L. B. Peck of the Los
Gatos, California, Mail News weighs in
with this snappy one: An enlightened
selfishness is about the most we can
expect in this stage of world develop
ment. The main trouble is that SO much
of the selfishness we see is so terribly
stupid"
Editor j. H. Collins of the Colville,
ing that economic freedom is absolutely
essential before we can enjoy human
liberty, says.
Take away a mans home, destroy
his savings, make it impossible for him
to make living and accumulate some
thing for the future, interfere with his
business to the point where he cannot
make ends meet, and you take away
his economic freedom and his human
liberties do not count for much
THE man who generations ago said:
That land is best governed which is
least governed knew his subject To
say that it is all right to throw the
constitution in the junk pile and throw
your human and property rights in the
hopper Of virtual dictatorship because
we face some sort of an emergency is
to exchange your birthright for mere
mess of pottage.s
THE old saying that one-half Of the
people don't know how the other half
lives has been changed to one-half of
the people know that the other half
lives off the government" remarks Edi-
tor A. F. Ender of the Rice Lake, Wis
consin, Chronotype.

still practice traditional Yankee thrift,
Editor b. c. Snyder Of the North Con-

Most people are now beginning to
realize that we cannot spend our way
out of the depression" he says, "but
it seems as though insufficient erar-
phasis is still placed on the remedy
of working our way out. Probably too
old fashioned, but there might be some
thing in it."
h In the Old Bay State there are sew
eral CCC camps, and Editor ]. Clarence
Hill of the Athol, Massachusetts, Trans

says:
Leaving the political element entire
ly out of the question all agree that

T FELT we could expect it sooner
u or later. Charm as an adjunct
to scholarship now is advocated
and we are reminded that chill
dren react more readily to the in
structor who is smartly dressed.
The dowdy woman, they tell us, is
hindrance to education and
should be kicked out.
No doubt there's truth in the
assertion. But just how we eX-
pect to fill our claSsrooms with
beautifully gowned young women
on the salaries we pay-or don't
pay, whichever you prefer-is be-
yond my mathematical talents. I
wish the charm advocates would
be more explicit on this point.
There's been an immense
amount of bunk published on the
subject of "how to look stunning
on less than nothing a year,
although every woman with a
modicum of common sense and a
little experience knows very well
it can't be done.
Especially under our present
beauty standards. Cold creams,
marcels, manicures, snug fitting
under garments and well-cut
dresses are only few of the
minor essentials for looking smart.
After a certain length of time,
money is an absolute necessity
for accomplishing the purpose.
Anyway, doesn't it seem a bit
far-fetched is talk blithely about
tact, charm and good clothes in
the schooroom when SO many
children aren't getting three
square meals day? It's putting
the cart away ahead of the horse,
which is a trick we seem to try
very often.
If by some happy stroke of luck
we could install unworried teach
ers in the clasSrooms our educa-
tionaI standards might be Won
drously improved, to say nothing
of the emotional lives of our chill
dren.
