of this mental and moral starvation
are there, and they will show up
later in the records Of charity or
ganizations, asylums. criminal courts.
We have been saving on schools
hand over fist, and 1t is high time we
put a stop to the sorry business. That
children should be hit by the economic
catacIysm OF the last few years is
inescapable. When family has no
money for the bare necessities of life,
when it is shattered and disintegrated,
the children are going to suffer along
with the adults. When youngsters

Effort Should be Reverse.
But it is not inevitable that we
should choose to hit children in this
other way-by weakening the school
system. In such times as these the
effort should be exactly the reverse
toward all possible strengthening and
fortifying of education. There is good
reason TO look on the educational sys-

When economic and social disease is

more attention to education than per-
haps any other one thing. Ask the
Jesuit fathers. Long ago they saw
that nothing is quite so important as
the shape and strength of the mold
into which youth is poured. Or, If 1t
we're possible, ask the founders Of
America. They fought TO establish
the public school system; they knew
its value well.
But what of America today? We
must save money; the most Of gov
ernment is too high; taxes are terrible.
Schools cost good deal of money
why not begin by saving there? So
school budgets are trimmed right and
left, up and down and sidewise.

Of the educational system anyway, so
why not cut down on the expense?
1t is point that at first glance seems
to be well taken.
Yet 1t does not really affect the
main argument. Admit the short
comings Of the schools. Sting them
with criticism, goad them with ele-
phant hooks to keep them on the
move-I am all for it and so are many
educators, for some Of the sharpest
critics of the schools are school men
See TO 1t. moreover, that they handle
their vast funds with due thrift and
economy. But do not confuse thrift
with miserliness. This is one of the
reasons why schools are not better.
Only an Office boy-or born idealist-
would take to teaching on an of1ce
boys salary.
There is great deal Of room for i'm
provement in American schools and
schooling, but cutting budgets is not
the road to improvement. Even should
the whole system be scrapped and re-
built, as some critics suggest. the re-
built system would need not a whit
less money to carry on its work.
The truth is that in America, pecu-
liarly, public education is the back
ground Of progress. Whatever political
or economic form the American dream
may take, education will be at the
center of 1t. Back in 1880, 28 out of
every 1000 youngsters between the
ages Of Il and II were In high school.
In 1880. 466 out of every 1000 were in
high school. There has been a sharp
rise since 1880.
In this increasing spread Of educa-
ton beyond the elementary grades lies
our hope of higher standard of living
that viii stick and not go to pieces:
our hope of q more intelligent solution
of bewtldering problems; our hope Of
a more just social order. II we were
an autocracy, 1t would be different.
But education Is the law Of democ-
racy. without continuously wider and
continuously better education, democ-
racy must go on the rocks in the end.
This Is the real reason why we dare
not tolerate softenins Of our educa-
tional backbone.
