CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. "a
G.N.SO.-America, through its
educational system, is betraying
youth, in the opinion Of DR.. H. c.
Morrison, professor Of education
in the University Of Chicago, who
today led a discussion before the
council of education of the Ma
tional Education Association in
session here.
DR.. Morrison charged that lead
ers of the teaching profession en-
couraged millions of young people
to pursue courses of study Gin the
hope and expectation of coming
into white collar jobs when we
know, or ought to know, that
only very small percentage Of
them can ever obtain that object"
Education in Chaos
The professor challenged his
colleagues to face effectively the
fact that the school and univer-
sity system of this country is in
a chaotic state, both financially
and educationally, and insisted
that they must agree upon a
willingness to m a Ike readjust-
ments even though those read
justments may be radical.
DR.. William c. Bagley, profes-
sor of education in Teachers Col
lege, Columbia University, New
York City, admitted the serious
ness of the educational crisis but
pointed out that in American his
tory every major economic crisis
had been followed by a major ad-
vance in public education.
Federal Aid An Issue
j. w. Crabtree, of Washing
ton, who has been secretary OF
the National Educational Associa-
ton for nearly 20 years, told the
writer that the demand for Fed
eral aid to local and State school
systems, advocated for several
years by the Hearst newspapers,
has now become an inevitable
issue in the teacher profession.
He expressed satisfaction over
the action of the National AsSo-
citation of Deans of Women in
petitioning Congress to supply
Federal funds to keep schools
open in poverty-stricken areas.

MOVIES, MOTHERS AND OTHERS

/ like the movies-wth exceptions. And it gives
me pain that the exceptions are far more numer-
Gus than the attractions. 1t is rare that any reel
is without some over-rpe spot And when the fea-
ture picture is Clean almost without exception the
showing has secondary part that is nothing but
nasty The situation stays for two reasons, and an
underlying third reason.
The first reason is that the producers have a
stranglehold on the situation by the system of
block booking The local manager. has no option
on most of the pictures he must buy. The last re.
port read, which think is still approximately
correct, showed that the local operator has the
right to reject but one out of every ten pictures
he buys In block of hundred he may refuse
ten, and must take ninety or go out of business.
The manager is helpless, and community pressure
for clean pictures is futile.
The second reason is that the fascination of the
film is so great. its entertainment full of charm,
and restfulness, its educational value often high,
it's felt possibilities for good real and great,
that campaign of indiscrminate opposition would
be both futile and against the common good.

RECKLESS WALKERS

, Are You safe walker If you can't make an
honest answer in the affirmative your life and
health is literally in peril
Last year automobile-pedestrian collisions ae-
counted for 81 per cent of the 100000 accidents
which occurred on the streets and highways of this
country. Deaths resulting from such assdents COM
prised 45 per cent of the total of $4,000 fatalities
In other words, pedestrians were involved in more
than third of all traffic msadventures-and the
chance of fatality was greater than in other types
of accidents.
Pedestrians crossing in the middle of the block
proved the most hazardous-that caused 81 per
cent of the fatalities. Careless walking on high
ways was responsible fer II per cent. Children
playing in the street came to 13 per cent. Walk
ing out from behind parked cars into traffic ac-
counted for IL per cent, with the balance of 2s
per cent laid to miscellaneous causes.
The careless pedestrian is menace just as the
careless driver-but he receives less attention.
Crossing against signals-playing hide-and-seek
with parked ears--walkng along rural roads with
the back to- onceming traffie-these- are some Of
the surest means of counting death, Think over
your walking habits-and correct them.-Marion

The Monitor has long looked upon prohloition'
if it had requisite public support, as the best way
to combat the evils strong drink brings, and IL be-
lieves with the Senator from Massachusetts that
as surely the old saloon conditions or worse are
allowed to return, there will be revitalzed move
ment for national prohibition. Practical drys, how
ever, we'll afford to support any plan OF con-
troll that gives promise of genuinely increasing
temperance and sebriety. 1t is for those who de-
stroyed prohibition to bring forward such plaEs
and to show themselves more interested in social
welfare than in dstillers profits.
The puzzement of administration officials over
how to tax the egalfzed industry without increas-
ing the profits of the bootlegging racket is more
than an incident it goes to the root of the dhi-
Guilty How is the reduction of federal taxes on
liquor to help eliminate booteggng if that redue-
ton is merely absorbed in what Senator Borah
calls the unconseionable profits of distillers, dis
tributors and retailers of legal, liquor
The question will persist as long as the govern
ment takes only tax instead of taking the profit
and the profit incentive out of the liquor business
1t will persist as long law enforcement is aimed
at the protection not of public welfare but of pub
lie revenue and provate drink sellers profits.
Is repeal of the 18th amendment all that America
is going to do about the liquor problem? Are the
states going to shirk the duty they clamored to
have returned to them? Is the United States going
to leave unprovided any adequate national au-
thority to deal with what is not only local but
a national problem? If 80, the latter condition OF

substitute for prohibition is going to have to con-
troll the evils of intemperanee even better than
prohibition did-Christian Science Monitor.
