HEPNER EXPLAINS PROGRAM Of
PUBLIC SCHOOLS PURPOSES

The public school is the instru-
mentality which we have developed
as parents and citizens to give our
children necessary experiences to
supplement the activities of the
home and those which we cannot
give them there. according to Wal
ter r. Hepner. chief of the state
division Of secondary education,
who gave a talk on "a New Deal
in Education before members and
friends of the FL Centro Chamber
of Commerce yesterday noon.
The world has become much
more artificial during the past so
years. the speaker pointed out,
and the boy of today, because Of
the many contacts he makes. has
100 temptations to the one or 10
his parents had 10 meet. Youth
used to be impressed with commu-
nifty ideals of right and wrong, but
today there are no set community
ideals to determine his actions, in
fact the youth OF today is faced
with a clash in moral standards.
Few homes today give a child the
necessary experiences for charac-
ter building and moral strength
ening which are necessary to sue
ceed and. Hepner stated, the
schools have had to take the re-
sponsibility for such training.
Schools originally were designed
to increase the money earning pow
er and the vocational ability of
the individual. Originally the boy
obtained his vocational training at
home. or through apprenticeship.
In pioneer countries there was al
ways room for boys making their
places in life. Today boy cam
not learn a vocation easily out
side of school and, as fewer men
are required in a machine age, it
is the beginner who is pinched out
of employment. Because there
will probably never be the demand
for young men in vocations as
there were in the past Hepner be-
lieves we must train our young
people to adjust themselves to sew
eral types of vocation in order that

the good Of the few for short time, but for

True in the carrying out Of this purpose

that straw mating, which is cheaper, was

that il is desirable 70 check soil erosion.
There will be experimentation in trying to

THE SLATE IS NOT CLEAN

TWO other indictments still stand against
= Samuel insult. He and his brother, Mar
tin are under indictment by an Illinois grand
jury on embezzlement charges, and the dates
for their trials have been set. Samuel insult
and others still are under federal indictment
for violation Of bankruptcy laws
Public interest requires that these cases
be prosecuted to conclusion, and with vigor.
The federal jury which last Saturday in
a Chicago court room acquitted Samuel insult
and sixteen co-defendants OF mail fraud did
not clean the slate.
It remains true that thousands Of Amer
leans have only worthless paper to show for
hundreds Of millions of dollars which they
entrusted TO insult management.
1t remains true that both insults fed the
country. and that the government believed
strongly enough in the charges to pursue
and force them TO return for trial.
Il remains true that many Americans doubt
the ability Of our courts 10 punish persons
with powerful financial connections in the same
way poor citizens are punished on lesser
charges.

STILL HANGING FIRE

THE get-together recently staged by Presi-
l. dent Roosevelt and leaders Of finance and
industry seems to promise a mild business boom
between now and the end Of the year. Whether
it viii lead to a resumption of permanent pros
perity is not quite so clear.
A gentleman's agreement to play ball seems
to have been reached. But the Presidents
electric power program, reiterated during his
visit to Muscle Shoals, is not thing the bust
ness community can be expected to applaud
heartily.
Furthermore, it is reported in Washington
that business will expect administration con-
cessions on labor policy-which the admins
tration may prove very loath to make.
What we have, apparently, is truce rather
than a final, definite understanding.

MORE GREAT STUFF"

NTHEN the national forest preservation
w commission approved the purchase of
2.O53, 900 acres of forest lands under option, it
increased the total acquired by the govern
ment during President Roosevelt's admins
tration to more than 100000 acres.
This 100000 acres compares to 4276,OOO
acres acquired IN the previous twenty-five
years.
The vests great drought last summer was
enough to prove the wisdom of forest preser-
walton.
But the national forest service is doing
more than buy up timber lands and let them
stand idle They are protected from fire,
recreational and scenic values are developed.
and the timber itself is treated as crop
the right to harvest mature trees, with careful
protection Of smaller stock, being sold to
lumbermen.
The s2O,OOO,OOO allocated by the President
for purchases is exhausted. There is every
reason TO believe he will obtain more funds
for the work since, as Mr. Roosevelt remarked

LEGISLATION MUST BE SECURE

GONE kind OF social security legislation
- seems destined to come out of the ap-
proachings session of congress.
What we shall get will inevitably be COM
promise. The difference between what every
BODY admits is needed and what is actually
possible is very great
Old age pensions. unemployment insurance
and the like cost money. and if We try to spend
on them more than We can afford we are apt
TO make things worse than they were before.
The unfortunate part about such legisla-
ton. in fact is that it is subject to two kinds
Of pressure.
In bad times there is rising public demand
to 60 much farther than is either practical or
wise. one need only consider the fantastic
S2OO-a-month schemes now being propaganda
lied to realize this.
In good times. on the other hand there is
an influential demand that nothing at all be
done. on the ground that ii might rock the
boat needlessly and put a crimp in prosperity.
Beset by these alternating pressures, social
security legislation to date has made hardly
any progress at all. But this winter We are apt
to have a different story. The demand is so
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-11-26

strong, that something viii almost certainly
be done
That being the case. the thing to remember
is that security legislation is only part Of the
picture.
President Roosevelt has remarked aptly
that there can be no security for the indi-
vidual in the midst Of general insecurity" and
this is a warning against which all security
schemes must be assayed.
Any pension and insurance schem. so am
bilious that it sets of genuine mi alton Of
the currency would. obviously be a scrry kind
of boon to its benehciaries. You may keep a
man from disaster by giving him $50 month
but not if your currency depreciates so fast
that $50 will buy only loaf Of bread.
Similarly, program so expensive that the
taxes needed to finance it proved actively de-
fationary and thus postponed general business
recovery, would also be a back-handed ar
rangement. Unless the economic machine can
be made to function again, no security scheme
will do very much good.
The problem confronting congress, then. is
exceedingly difficult The demand for security
legislation must be met-but there is need for
great wisdom and forethought in selecting the
proper means.

JOB FOR GOOD MARINER

TT is good to read that Captain George A.
Fried, retiring from the sea, promptly is
given one of the biggest jobs the federal gov
eminent can give mariner--supervising in
spector in the important second inspection dis
trict for the federal navigation bureau.
Not often does a merchant sailor attain
such widespread public confidence as Captain
Fried has attained. His cool, seamanlke, and
daring rescues at sea are almost legendary.
Any man who could perform as he per-
formed in the famous Antinoe and Florida
rescues must be pretty broad-gauge sort of
man as we'll as first-rate sailor.
Captain Fried, in other words, is too val
liable man to be allowed to slip into retire.
ment just yet. His new job is one of vast re-
sponsibility. The safety of many sea travellers
depends on it being handled properly.
And with Captain Fried filling in, the
American public will have complete confidence
that the work is being done the way it ought
to be done.

N Unemployed Woman

BY an Unemployed Woman
After tramping the streets for
more than a year looking for
work with livable wage, it is
difficult to understand how some
can say conditions are getting
better. I have failed to see any
Improvement in industry.
Every place go they either are

The enforcement of the NRA

the contrary, it would be a gain to
many. I was as optimistic as any
one when the NRA started. One
of the first to place my proof IN

looking for an NRA job.
1t seems to me those belonging
to the MIRA have cut their over
head down by laying off enough

bers of the unfortunate employed.
Why don't they organize law
that married women with en-
ployed husbands can not work? A
married woman has enough work
to do at home if she does it as it
should be done. And there are
plenty of single women needing
work badly. If all the married
employed women were replaced
by single ones there would be less
women walking the streets.

stopped me and asked me to get

Jobs Scarce for Single Women

how many unfortunate women
are out in the cold.
There are many of these unfor-
tunate women who have too much
pride to ask for something toseat
or a place to sleep. What do you
suppose becomes of them? II the
people would stop to concentrate
long enough on this question, the
answer would be obvious to the
most fastidious mind. The one
and only way to these distracted
women seems the easiest way to
enable them to still maintain
what they are pleased to call their
pride.
Obviously, the fortunate are
taking advantage of the unfor-
tunate under the conditions and
will continue to do SO until some
thing is done about it.
There are relief organizations to
help the married men with their
families, there are flop houses for
the single men to sleep in, and
soup houses for them to eat in.
But where is the relief for single
women? Why don't the lawmak-
ers get together and organize a
law that will send all the married
women with working husbands
home, and replace them with
single women.
1 have been sponging on friends
for months but many single
women don't have friends to
sponge on. I am willing and able
to work, and my predicament is
crushing my pride. 1t has placed
me under an obligation that 1
probably can never repay. And
besides the friends I am obligated
to are in the hole themselves. If
something doesn't occur soon we
all will be seeking shelter in a
flop house.
Oh, well, my optimism has been
crushed in many things but I still
retain little in others. Some
one should get busy and do some
thing and while I await for de-
velopments shall live with hopes
that my dogs hold out a little
longer in my daily search for
work.

INDIANS VOTED. TOO

a MEXICAN Indians also have voted over
n whelmingly for a New Deal.
An election was conducted among tribes
affected by the Wheeler Howard Indian rights
act. The referendum, first of its kind, was
to determine whether Indians wanted to live
under the new act and participate in the self
government it holds out to them.
Returns just announced by the United
States Indian Office disclose that out of thirty
two reservations voting, thirty-one accepted
the act-the total popular majority being
70 per cent.
Only 5O8 per cent of the eligibles voted on
this measure so important to their tribal well
fare. Yet this is about the same as the pro-
portion of the rest of us who turn out to
elect a President. The women voted in large
numbers.
The act which now goes into effect, will
abolish the allotment system, initiate partial
tribal self-government, and start the Indians
toward measure of economic freedom and
cultural self-determination.
Indian Commissioner Collier says of this
measure:
1t is. for Indians. the beginning Of the
