BROAD EDUCATION

President Roosevelt, having re-
ceived the degree OF doctor of laws
from William and Mary College, in
Virginia, spoke briefly of the bene-
fits of liberal education" AS that
term is used, it commonly means
prolonged study of literature, sci
ence. mathematics, history and
languages. How far is such edu-
cation valuable? - :.
The broadly educated man or wo-
man knows much about the world,
and usually the counsel OF such ones
is valuable. But some folks who
are broadly educated are like some
rivers that are hundreds of yards
wide, yet so shallow that nothing
more than a rowboat can navigate
them. The broadly educated per-
son must maintain close contact
with people, or there will be many
sides of life which he fails to COM
prehend.

NOVEMBER II, 1918

AS we look back to November 11th
on that fateful day of wars end 16
years ago, what is the dominant
thought?
Perhaps it might be that there then
ended the greatest movement of de-
struction the world ever saw. War
is the destruction of the products of
civilization. Men burn up in a few
W eeks the wealth that it took many
years to accumulate. They also de-
stroy human values that had been
long time gathering.
Through long and painful effort,
the schools and churches try to teach
the children how to live lives of jus
tice and peace and order. People are
taught TO be kind and charitable and
friendly. to preserve health, and
make the world a good place to live
in.
War takes young men and forces
them into the horrible trenches. and
tells them to exrcise hate and go
ont and kill. Many of them lose the
flower of their health and return
crippled and frail. Contempt for hu-
man life infects a multitude of boys
at home who never saw the war.
Schools. hospitals. charity agencies,
churches all suffer from the impov-
erishment that follows war. The
world rocks for years, while the peo-
pie endeavor to curb these forces
of destruction that are let loose.
You can undo in a war lasting a
few months, all the good that our
social agencies have ben trying for
years to establish.
We never think of having any war
with our neighbors over the Canadian
line. and they never lie awake
single night for fear We shall in
wade them. The world could live in
peace just as well. Armistice day
reminds us of what the distinctions
of war cost us in human values.

COOPERATIvES SERVE In MANH
WAYS

Some OF the most important ac'
tiyfties of progressive farm cooper
atives deal with problems not di'
rectly related TO the buying and sell
ing of agricultural commodities.
These problems include such mat
tiers as monetary policies, taritrs
commodity prices and all manner oi
government legislation. The farmer
In common with all other producers
and workers. is vitality affected by
national and international economic
trends and policies. His farm, 80
far as this is concerned, is no diff
ferent from bank, service indus
try, life insurance company, or any
other institution-in the long run.
be will fail or succeed to the same
degree as other endeavorers. here
and abroad, fail and succeed.
The great farm co-ops have given
the farmer something he cannot OBJ
tain for himself as an individual
experts who work to make his infu-
ence. his wishes and his interest
felt. In doing that, they have Been
extremely successful-tarm leaders
have been called in during the writ
ing of important legislation OF vari-
Gus kinds. and the completed bills
contain valuable features that they
suggested.
Thus, the farm coop serves in
many ways-and the thousands Of
progressive farmers who make sue
cessful cooperative associations pos
sible are building stably for the fu-
ture.

HOME TOWN CHARITIES

President Roosevelt has delivered
radio address in which he asks
the people everywhere to support
worthy local charities of all kinds.
He pleads with people not to load
on the shoulders of the government
the burdens they ought to carry
themselves.
Many communities have taken ad-
vantage of these times when the
government is spending money free
| ly for relief. to load of that bur-
den on the Federal treasury. Uncle
Sam has to get his support from all
and he can carry it all. But Uncle
Cam has to get his support from all
of us. Every man. woman. and
child in the country will feel the
burden of the taxes which must be
laid to cover these expenses. The
biggest share of these taxes will be
levied on the industries, and thus
ADDED to the cost OF goods, and we
shall all pay and pay high.
The local charities of every city
are a sacred trust given to that
community. Through sunshine and
storm. through good times and bad
times. they have carried on. They
know the people intimately. They
know which ones are worthy and
which are unworthy. They are
trained in the problem of distribut-
ing relief. They can make a small
amount of money go farther than
any other agency can. II will save
money to give them ample funds.
because they will use the money so
economically that 1t will not be
necessary to collect so much in
taxes.
The local charities train people
in good citizenship. self reliance,
and self support. Frequently their
counsel, handed out to people who
are in puzzling situations. is worth
more than any money that could be
given. Such guidance has aided
countless families to meet their diff
ficulties and attain self support. Let
las back up every good local charity
that operates in Delaware.

EDUCATION WEEK

What practical thoughts may come
to us here in Milford and all Della
ware, as tine result Of American
Education Week, observed Novem'
Der sill? II is week during which
people are asked TO visit and OBJ
serve the work of their schools and
consider the needs of education.
The schools of our country have
suffered somewhat from reduced
appropriations But they are doing
wonderful work just the same. They
are turning out millions of young
folks who are mentally keener and
more alert than ever before. They
think quicker, and know as much at
any given age as children several
years older used 10.
They have more initiative than
children used TO have. Student ac-
tivities. such as athletics, dramatic
performances, social affairs, socie-
ties. collection of news. etc, have
given these young folks power of
action. They have no end of go
ahead" spirit.
The schools are expected to teach
many things. The long program
which must be taken up. and on each
Of which the children must accom-
Dlish certain results, fills the day
90 full. The teacher would like to
explain subjects TO the slower pu-
pills, and to influence all of them to-
ward high character. But there may /
lot be time for much but the regular !
study program.
The homes must cooperate with |
he schools The best kind of CO.
operation they can give, is to in
,pire their children with high ideals !
# character and conduct. If they al
ow their boys and girls to grow up /
Hith dishonest hearts, school edu- !
.ation may not be able TO do much |
with such ones. II is up to the homes |

contempt for anything mean, low, |

@ROOT, HOG, OR DIE"

The above named phrase was
common years ago. II was appro-
pirate to . primitive condition OF
the community. The farmers hog
in those times was not cared for
like a modern prize pig. Probably
most of the time he was turned
loose. His food depended on his
roofing capacity. The old farmer
saw that human success is also de-
pendent on energy. He brought up
his sons on the Root. hog. or die
principle.
It is not a very nice sounding
phrase now. But il people are go
ing TO make a success in work or
business, they have got to do an
awful lot OF roofing around. Many
people feel that they can prosper
without doing much roofing. They
are apt to come out about like the
old settlers hog that settled down
in the barnyard and waited to be
fed.

present high standing. This is nc
small job-and Delaware Republi-
cans must not fall down when these
important problems are presented
for consideration at the next session
of the General Assembly. With a
sizeable working majority in each
branch of that body, Delaware citi-
zens, regardless of parry affiliation,
are watching carefully to see just
what the G. o. P. will do with their
power. The Chronicle believes that
sound judgment on the part of the
leaders and harmonious work be-
tween the two Houses of the Cen
eral Assembly will bring a safe,
sound and well rounded program out
of that body which Governor Buck
will be more than pleased to ap-
prove. The opportunity for service
on the part of the Republican party
in Delaware was never better than
now.

JACK FROST

AS the chill winds of Autumn
come, farmers and gardeners watch
crops and plants with anxiety. Many
flowers that had been the glory OF
the gardens hang their dropping
heads after Jack has delivered his
stealthy blows. Many farmer has
seen his promising crop wither and
decay, as the result OF premature
frost.
Agricultural science deals with
saucy Jack, who is now abroad with
his nippers. There are various
plans for Warding him Of, such as
gauzy wells spread over. endangered
plants. or bOnfires that; produce
thick smoke clouds and hinder the
frosty descent. . = >
The farmer and gardener has to
be a student Of nature. The weather
bureau and newspapers and radio
tell him when. Jack Frost. is seen
travelling in his direction. II the
farmer can't spare a few minutes to
get this information. he may spend
many, hours regrettins the loss of
his products.

NO MAJOR INITIATION

When the Administration first
came into power, it had few critics.
Many Industrial leaders were afraid
of its announced policies. believed
them inimical to their interests-but
they said little and followed a policy
of watchful waiting.
During the next year and a half
many business men found them
selves more and more at odds with
Administration principles. This
reached its high point a few months
ago, when the United States Cham
ber of Commerce addressed point
ed letter to the President, said that
confidence was fading, asked that he
give definite replies to q number of
questions involving our financial
and economic future.
The President did not reply-but
since then there has been a rap
prochement between government and
industry. The President apparently
has more faith in Industrial execu-
tives than he did when he first came
into office, and industrial executives
apparently have more confidence in
the President. One sign of the trend
Is found in the declining stock of
the brain trust"-most of these
young men. who carried such weight
in the early days of the Administra-
tion, have dropped out of sight, and
their places have been taken by
practical thinkers, rather than theor-
lists.
The Presidents recent much-an-
ticipated-<speech before the Ameri-
can Bankers Association, shows the
way the wind blows. While he conf
mitted himself to little, Mr.. Roose-
welt said one thing of great impOr-
tance-that he did not contemplate
the issuance of new currency
against the Treasury's vast silver
holdings. Bankers and other indus
trialists cheered-Mr. ROosevelt's
statement was the first assurance
from a high source that there would
be no major imitation in the near fu-
ture.
The U. S. Chamber of Commerce
reported that it saw indications of a
"convergence of the general aims of
business and the Administration" in
the speech.
AS for business conditions, they
seem to be on the upgrade. For the
past month the volume of bank
loans outstanding has been in
and there is a growing de-
mahd for bank credit.
Milford chronicle., 1934-11-09
WAR PROFITS

The American legion, which has
been in session at Miami, Florida
has been developing plans aimed to
prevent undue profits to any class
of people in time of war. 1t is OF
course repugnant to the people, that
the misfortunes of the country in
such time should be the means by
which unjust riches are gathered
in, and a time when people who
have goods or labor to sell, obtain
excessive prices.
The aim of restricting war profits
is most commendable but it will
not be so easy TO put these ideas in
practice If the country ever gets to
fighting again. When war comes.
there is an enormous demand for
every kind of material, supplies and
food. With this enormous demand,
prices always rise.
Then when the cost of all kinds
Of goods goes up under the slim
NUS of war activities. manufactur-
ers and dealers say they must have
higher prices, or they will go bank
rupt. Moreover they say that if
they are asked to take chances on
heavy losses. they should be allowed
a pretty generous profit It seems
reXt to impossible to prevent a lot
of people from getting undue profit
out of such conditions. And if busi-
ness is restricted too severely, it
would not be possible to get the
enormous production of material
which the government would nee
quire at such a time.
Perhaps the best way in such an |
emergency. would be to allow bust
ness a good degree OF freedom, but |
to place such heavy taxes on ex-
cessive war profits, also a fair tax
on salaries and wages in war time,
that people would not grab so eager
ly for these benefits.
A still better way would be for
the country to show so much fair
ness, generosity and conciliatory
spirit toward other nations. that it
will never get into any new war, so
that this difficult question of war
profits would never arise.

TRANSFORMING KICKERS

The development of a community
depends very much on its organiza-
tions. II these are active, they ac-
complish results. and the communi-
ty makes progress. But it is not
an easy thing to run a successful or
ganization. Members often become
disgruntled. and lose interest in the
work of the society. so that it may
become inactive.
One secret of managing a success
full organization. is to give the men,
bers plenty of opportunity to ex-
press their opinions about the things
that are to be done. The kickers
should be invited to kick as often
as they feel like. it, II they kick
too hard, put 'em on a committee.
and tell them TO plan some better
way. A kicker is often transformed
into a worker, by giving him some
solid meat TO chew on.

THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

Ever since Ponce DeLeOn made
his famous excursion into Florida
ia the year 1912. seeking the fOun-
tain of perpetual youth, the world
has dreamed of finding some means
for defeating old age. Much has
been done to prolOng life, but new
hopes for such efforts were given
before the American College of Sur
geons the other day. when a new
method was described for rejuvena-
tion of the body through transplant
ing of glands.
Countless elderly people will ar
IDENTIFY wish that these hopes may
be realized, and that something can
be done to give them back some
powers of youth again. The fading
of the human forces is the worlds
greatest tragedy. If surgical sci
ense can arrest this tendency. it
will make life a very different thing
fol the human race. V

FALLING LEAVES

The thought of the leaves falling
from the trees has always impressed
imaginative people as a saddsning
one. Wrote Bryant the poet: "The
melancholy, days are come. the sad
dest Of the year. The dropping one
by one Of the, yellowlfe and fading
leaves. impresses such folks as COM
parable to the end Of, human life :.
( The tree drops its; leaves; because
IL has no further use for them. But
the tree, still iivs on. 1t absorbs
into its. fiber the nourishment it has
received through leaves and roots.
BY and by it will spring forth again
with new leaves.
And the leaves are not lost. They
descend into, earth, enrich the; soil,
and in" due time will blossom forth
into other leaves, There is nothing
lost in this wonderful earth. Every
thing is utilized, SO it win be with
the human spirit. When It falls on
the tree of life. it will enter into
other forms Of existence, and bios
som forth more gloriously.
