of preparation for the task that Is to
come, and many hours must be spent
in correcting papers and giving help
to backward pupils. ~-
The problem Of discipline is not
solved by any system Of rules. The
teacher must somehow be able thru
some spirit Of personal magnetism, to
communicate inspiration and ambition
to children who naturally are dull,
phlegmatic, or mischievous. =.
It is hard to keep up this high level
of enthusiasm day after day. It is not
to be wondered at that many teach
ers get nervous and fatigued through
this constant effort. We all owe them
much for their sustained earnestness
and devotion. Ls...ar#r .-.s

ELIMINATE CROOKS

The president of the American Bar
association has called upon the pro-
fession to clean house.
While convinced that the bar as a
whole is honest and high-minded, E.
W. Evans admitted in his speech be-
fore the annual convention Of the as
sociation that there are in the ranks
Of American lawyers some who are
crooks. These, he declared, must be
driven out If public confidence in the
profession of law is to be restored.
He declared that the profession has
been steadily losing caste with the
public, which has come to look upon
the profession as whole with sus-
picien and distrust. This attitude he
characterized as being unjust, but he
recognized there was room for i'm
provement and he urged that a purg-
ing crusade within the profession be
undertaken.
"For instance, the public believes
that we harbor and otherwise encour-
age crooked lawyers" he said, "and
We can not enter convincing denial
Of the charge. We resent the charge
of harboring and encouraging crooks
and of course we have not harbored
or encouraged them in any direct or
affirmative way, but we do know and
the public knows that We have not
tried very hard to protect the public
from the ravages Of unworthy law
yers". ..- ..-s. .
The profession Of law Is not differ
emit in this respect from most other
professions and callings. The mis-
deeds of few reflect upon the whole,
In the eyes of the public, and cause the
entire body to be viewed with suspic-
ion. ..... q.
The present crime wave, with ugly
connections between the underworld
and officialdom revealed, has served
to uncover many instances where
crookedness was practiced by law
yers. The fact that the crooks consti-
tute a very small minority of the pro-
fession, as usually is the case, Is lost
sight of by the public.
The only way to correct the situa-
ton is that pointed out by the ASSOC
cations head-to concentrate on rid
ding the profession Of crooks. This
can be done, and there are enough
honest lawyers to see that it is done.

THOUGHTS OF

Barney Baruch, and Brother

handing so much attention of

Sam went to Washington to tell
them up there about how to raise
that ten billion.
The reason is-Sallie's taken
up with the welfare. That's one
reason why | put. that piece IN

Sallie pro bono publico instead
of a wife.

bit by the patriotism bug, the
resulting reaction is almost irres-
istible and incurable. You see
women act on instinct, but men
try to reason out things which
have no reason to them and 50
the women get the jumps on
, them when unreasonable times
set in like these. That's why
the welfare is run by Miss Perk-

Bost, and Miss Weaver, and Mrs.
Day and the ladies generally,
with the help of the lately un-
employed men land they were so
hungry they'd do what they were
told until they got fed up So
Sallie got hooked up too.
The chief trouble about the
welfare is that it comes rather
late. Geo. Washington and Ben
Franklin put it in the cOnstitu-
tion-right in the preamble-but
their successors were so busy an
nexing the broad acres of Amer
lea they forgot it was there I'M

Then he put Miss Perkins in to
do something about it; and then
She discovered it would take the

WHERE IS PROSPERITY?

Our sense of values is twisted,

Constantly we hear the express

Prosperity is not just around

that we have been going through
for the past few years have been

are learning how to cooperate.
We are learning that selfishness
is bad thing. We are learning
that our civilization is a complex

dependent and that no man can
be safe by grabbing his, and
putting it away somewhere. We

those truths. whether we realize

THE NATIONAL INCOME

After year of intensive research the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Depart
ment of Commerce has compiled what is probably
the most complete report ever attempted on the
national income of the United States
The results show that the total income distribut
ed to individuals throughout the nation in 1929
was $S1, 900 900, 900 and that in 1882 this income
had dropped to $4,000 100000, decline of 40
per cent Coincidentally the production income of
the country shrank from $50, 900 900, 900 in 1929
to $4,000, 900 in 1882. This was decline Of
50 per cent.
Apparently then, the production income of the
United States in 1929 exceeded the income dis
ributed to individuals by two billion dollars, while
in 1882 the income distributed to individuals ex-
ceeded the production income by than ten
billion dollars. In other words in 1882, and lii
every year since 1929, the figures show that the
country has been living upon previously accumu-
lated assets and SURPRISES" And every one must
know that this is precisely what has been happen
ing.
Here, as classified by the report is the way ill
which the national income shrank in the four years
covered by the study:
Wages totaled $50, S67 OOO, 900 in 1929; $4S,-
6SS 200, 900 in 1880; Sal, OPT 100000 in 1881,
and 31,595, 100000 in 1882.
On the other hand, interest payments remained
almost stationary during the four years OF the
report being $5,6S7 900, 900 in 1929; $685.
100000 in 1880; 1852, 100000 in 1881 and
S5,506, OOO, 900 in 1882.
Income distributed by agriculture dropped
from S6,341 100000 in 1929 to $3,442, 100000
in 1882. In mining the drop from ST. 1884,
100000 in 1929 to 1851 100000 in 1882. The
figures for manufacturing $18, 157 100000
in 1929 and $S,373, 100000 in 1882, while in
come paid out by construction decreased from
$3,135, 900 in 1929 to $S64000,000 in 1882.
Income paid out by the transportation indus
try was $6,657 100000 in 1929 and $4,021,0OO,-
900 in 1882 while income paid out by govern
ment was $6,459, OOO, 900 in 1929 and $6794,-
O00,0 900 in 1882.
This is a report, quite voluminous, it is stated,
and illustrated with numerous tables, which IS
more than simply interesting 1t should have great
constructive value in the shaping of the new poll
cies made necessary to meet the emergency caused
by the cutting of the production income of the
country in half while its fixed charges continued to
