Frank Smith, comic, well and

Condo and Allen, a rapid fire

COLLEGE EDUCATION

President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale has made
a valuable contribution to the current discussion
concerning the advsability of trying to make "col-
lege men" out of unsuitable material.
1t would naturally be Supposed that the head of
a great university would stress the Importance of
p college education regardless but it is en-
couragng sign that leading educators coming
to realize that for the vast majority of young
peopl ethe four years required by college course
is largely waste of time, money and effort. We
quote Dr. Hadley in part:
'People engaged in public instruction are in
clined to go too far in thinking that everyone
should be encouraged to purpose his schooling to
the furthest possible degree. They lament what
seems to them the highly inadequate proportion O.
elementary school children who go to the high
schools and of high school pupils who proceed to
college; and they glory in any increase in these
proportions. They seem to forget that the class
room is not the only means of education; that a
youth may get more intellectual and moral train
ing from practical work that he likes, than from
formal lessons that he loathes'
Now, this does not mean to deprecate in the
least the value of higher education to those WHO
by intellect, temperament and inclination are ca
pable of acquiring it and putting it to practical
use. 1t simply means that unless a young person
has the native ability to work with his brains he
had better be taught to work with his hands,

SUBMARGINAL LAND

1t is announced in Washington that the $25,OOO,-

arid land has started to work. Buying is underway
in the Dakotas, Montana the Southeast and Far
West. The exact locations will be kept secret in
order to prevent speculation by land companies
Harry L. Hopkins, relief administrator, is quot
ed as saying, ':We might as well use the land for
some really social purpose, and give the people
who have been struggling with it chance to get
along on decent FARMS
Such movement as this is wholesome exanl-
pie of valid federal aid. To those who fear that
individual initiative is lessened by outside assls-
lance, it is encouraging to know that approximate
ly two-thirds of the migrating families have
made their own plans for resettling.
The government is planning to purchase about
100000 acres in the immediate future. The
"new pioneers who leave the farms where life
has been hard, unequal struggle for mere sub
sistence will be assisted by work in the newly ere
pted public forests and parks until their farms are
started.
The nation needs fewer acres in cultivation; It
needs parks and forests. Several million citizens
deserve better chance. The social order will
benefit by the retiring from cultivation of sub
marginal lands.-Christan Science Monitor.

No need for our people to again become wrought

As we see it, the Tennessee Valley Authority has
made no move to start the dam, and has author
lied no one to speak for it in the matter of when

Plenty of people in Pennsylvania and Henderson
county would like to see the dam built-a dam so
high that it would practically cover the French
Broad valley from above BOSNIAN to Bent Creek in
Buncombe county. These folk have plenty of ar

The Valley Authority "pays plenty" for lands
