FEDERAL CONTROL MENACE

1t is we'll that newspapers should be ever vgi-
liant in seeing that the freedom of the press is
preserved. However, it is equally essential that
the people should retain control of their schools.
The Record is in complete agreement with the St
Petersburg fla Times which declares that the
prospect of federal control of system of pub
lie education constitutes real menace.
In this connection The Times comments:
IF there is field of government activity that
clearly should be within the control of local au-
thorites it is public education. The case for local
control is stronger in that department of the gov
eminent than in any other.
Federal control, direct or indirect, must inev-
itably undo much of the good that has been ac-
complished through local and state control. 1t is
not necessary to cite the familiar instances of ma
tionalized education in Russia and Germany
This is nation of 100000 persons of va
ried origins, scattered over vast territory. To
impose nationalized education in such an area must
mean, as surely the RISES the clamping
down upon millions of children of a bureaucratic
system-fat, uniform, standardized wholly inelas-
tic that would be both repressive and oppressive
in its effect upon local hertages local aspirations
local enterprise and local genius. 1t would compel
mercess, ruthless, and, indeed, reckless leveling"
NOFLn OarOllna cltlZenS VINO are deeply interest
ed in the of the schools are keenlv aware
that usurpation of complete control by the state
under present school law, has proved disastrous
to many previously, splendid special charter sys-
TENS. Our experience has been as predicted above
ca flat, uniform, standardized, wholly inelastic'
school system, "both repressve and oppressive in
its effect upon local heritages local aspirations To-
cal enterprise and local genius"
Citizens of Hickory familiar with the thrilling
history of local aggressiveness by which schools
second to none in the state provided for this
community can comprehend how we'll the Florida
editor has stated the new menace.
The measure of local achievements is best ex-
empitied by the educational opportunities which
are provided for our children and our neighbors'
children. The men who laid the splendid founda-
lions for the Hickory school system proved them
selves real community. builders and worthy custo-
dans of self government .''.
Unless we, too, measure up to our responsible
ties, regain control of our schools and insist that
they measure up to the highest standards which
it is within our financial ability to support, Hickory
will ultimately be forced to pay the heavy penalty
which is bound to follow loss of individuality and
educational leadership.-Hickory Record

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
NO TIME TO EXPERIMENT

T. annsars that the Federal government Is re-
uctant to give up the idea of going into the furnl
ture manufacturing game. Protests have been nleo
in Washington by manufacturers associations as
well as by individuals However, the proposition
pops uu again every few weeks Zeal to provide
iobs in every line of work for emergency employ
ment relief brings it to the fore.
s'The condition of the furniture industry IS 50
nrecarious that it does not admit of experiment
ing says the Fountain Inn World, which con-
times: ''The confidence in the theory of private
anterprise which is stimulating the furniture IN
dustry to make strenuous effort toward recovery
and which is motivating the industry to adhere to
the shirt and the letter of the NRA, would re-
eeive serious setback if it becomes obvious that
the government either directly indirectly, IS en-
tering the field of furniture manufacturing.
.'How enterprises such as the one now conten1-
plated in Knoxville, Tenn, can possibly be consd-
cred as an economic necessity is more than we can
figure out More than 1000 furniture factories
have been put out of business by the depression,
and our industry today is more than 100 per cent
over-equipped. There thousands of furniture
workers throughout the country on the unemploY-
ed lists The placing of 400 men on the employ
ment list in Knoxville will result in an equal num-
Der being thrown on charity in other locations.
"The way to ultimate recovery lies in the re-
of our privatey-owned industry, not
in the creation of directly competitive government
owned plants. If the governmental relief agencies
have need for furniture that furniture can be pro-
duced by the industry, utilizing as many workers
as the government could use, and at prices arrived
at by competitive bidding in the open market

POLITICAL CRITICISM

A man may criticize the president with
out necessarily wanting to be president
himself And a man may criticize acts OF
the chief executive without being an en-
envy of his administration and without any
intent to discredit it,
In other fields the rights of disinterested
criticisms have been fairly we'll estab-
lished. A reviewer may find fault with a
book without being charged with thinking
that he could easily write better opc.
Art critics have plucked up courage enough
to give their opinion of a painting, even
if they do not know how to paint But the
resentment of fault-fnding has fingered in
the realm of political discussion.
This instructive dislike manifests itself
in many ways. If public man brings I'M
der review the official acts of an office
holder, he is at once accused of desiring to
turn him out of office and to take his place.
The sneering question is asked if he mag
ines that he could do any better, whereas
the critic may be expressing the belief that
the ma who has the job could do more
satisfactory work.

TOO MANY PEOPLE EXPECTING HELP

The number of destitute families now being
given government relief is larger by 80 per cent
than it was even during the leanest years of the
depression.
The natural inference to be taken from this
statement is that most of this recovery talk is
ballyhoo that in reality we are no better off than
we were IS months ago, when we thought we had
reached the bottom.
But little reflection will prove that this isn't
true. We have evidence at every hand that we
have made progress Most of us know from
personal experiences that things aren't as bad as
they were.
Why, then, this big increase in relief rolls?
There can be but answer. There are too many
people who have decided to make it business of
having the government keep them or assist IN
keeping them. And the government, in turn, has
been lax in doing out relief funds.
There is certain element of our population
which never worked, even during boom years.
They are doing the same thing now and getting
paid for it-a situation very satisfactory to them,
even though it is hard on the taxpayers. In far
too many cases we making it attractive to an
eleyent that may US trouble in the future

NO ANCESTOR WORSHIP

Mark Twain wept copiously at the grave
Of Adam. whom he believed to be ms earll-
est ancestor. He lived in a romantic age
For it is not reported that anyone crled
bitterly when Prof. Patten, OF Dartmouth
at a meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science, exhibited
a fossil said to be billion years old, ana
claimed that from it, scorpion, were de-
scended not only man, but spiders, rep
tiles, fishes and all mammals.
Gazing upon this ostracoderm, why were
not the scientists strangely moved? was
it because this scorpion was not only their
ancestor, but that of the alligator and the
walleyed pike? Or did they credit him
with the invention of the musical comedy
Joke and other evils that have afflicted us
since the memory of man runneth not!
Surely, if one of US could be preserved Tor
1000, 900 centuries, we should expect q
few kind words at our elimination, per-
haps a flower or two, and an expression
of admiration at our beauty, of thanks for
what we had done for the world.
Bus the hard-hearted scientists who
gazed at ostracoderm and listened to Prof.
Patten merely murmured "Oh yeah? ?" and
passed on to the next exhibit. That is what
a billion years can do. That period hence,
scientists may dig up the name of Rudy
Vallee, and not be able to read it.
