SCHOOL DAYS

THE bells Summoning 80 million American
- youngsters back to their desks this month
would play rlerrier tune had not the de-
preston swept over our great school plant
with something like the force of a cyclone.
From data compiled by the National Edu-
cation Association covering only one-half the
states and 80 cities it appears that more than
100000 children will enter schools condemned
as unsafe and insanitary, and that at least
100000 will do their lessons in the shelter of
portable buildings.
In use will be some 5000 schools that have
been condemned, many thousands more that
should be. Some per cent of our school
buildings were built before the Civil War,
and "a per cent between 1870 and 1892 A
total of 100000 pupils are improperly
housed, and more than 100000 are in rural
schools that should be abandoned in favor of
consolidated plants
Last year, it is estimated, more than g.
100000 children in 25 states either were de-
prived of schooling altogether or their school
terms were curtailed from one to eight months
Federal loans will make this situation little
better this fall.
According to the United States Office of
Education, teachers have felt the depression
as have few professional people. Some 200, 900
certified teachers are joblesS. In many states
those at work get miserably low salaries. Some
100000 teachers, instructing 100000 pupils.
are being paid less than the minimum for
factory hands under the late NRA blanket
code. The average teachers salary in the
United States is s1226. One teacher in every
three gets $3.50 or less.
Not only are buildings antiquated and
dilapidated and teachers driven to a subsis-
tence level. Standards are low Adequate text
books are lacking in many communities. Adult
education, kindergarten physical training and
other routine services have been curtailed
Ancient platitudeS and out-moded facts" are
being fed to young and eager minds
This picture of wreckage is largely the work
of the depression. But pinch-penny politicians,
preachers of false economy and other I'M
patriotic Americans must share the blame To
these the public schools have been less i'm
portant than sky-scraping city halls and other
holders.
The American school system, brains and
vitals of our young Republic, must be re-
stored. And in the restoring it must be
modernized in plant, equipment and teaching
standards.

MEN WERE TRICKED
INTO LAST WAR

By R. P. o.
To an outsider indianapolis is in
deed a city Of paradoxes. There are
the very beautiful parks with their
excellent facilities for the enjoy
ment of life, the recreational ad-
vantage of golf, tennis, swimming,
boating, picnicking and those other
things that happy, peaceful people
enjoy doing in their hours of leisure.
Then there is the monument IN
the Circle and the World War
Memorial with its exalted notices.
Then the plaza with its artillery
pieces, its eagles, obelisk, cenotaph,
and American Legion headquarters.
There is the paradox. That civilized
people should erect such admirable
projects as the parks and also erect
reminders of the wholesale destruc-
ton of wars is indeed upside down
logic.
AS if enough money, manpoWer
and brains were not destroyed in
the wars! No, millions more had to
be extracted from a poverty-strick-
en- people to remind them daily of
their folly and ignorance.
The last war cost 80 million lives,
and $40 billion dollars and who,
please tell me, won it? Our legacy
from it was broken men, heart-brok-
en- women, ill-provided-for children.
1t did not end war. 1t did not
make the world safe for democ-
racy, rather ended democracy or
civil liberty in Italy, Germany and
Russia. 1t did not vindicate the
rights of small nations. 1t did
ruin agriculture, it did mock labor,
it did concentrate wealth into fewer
hands. But what good did it do?
The men who helplessly lost their
everything died in ignorance and in
shame. They were tricked, deceived
and their survivors rubbed their
dead noses into the filth by erect
ing a vain reminder of the sac
rilege.
Let the hypocritical inscriptions
be removed from the stone and the
word sucker" be rightfully inscribed
thereon. Turn the temple over to
the young and innocent therein to
be taught the futility, the misery,
the abysmal loss of war.

This, for the most part, is the wis
dom and technique Of Professor
George S. Counts of Columbia Uni
verSity.
Here is a society which mani
tests the most extraordinary con-
tradictions: A mastery over the
forces of nature is accompanied by
extreme material insecurity; dire
poverty walks hand in hand with
the most extravagant living the
world ever has known; an album
dance of goods of all kinds is
coupled with privation, misery and
even starvation; an excess Of
production is offered seriously as
the underlying cause Of severe
physical suffering; breakfastless
children march to school past bank
rupt shops laden with rich foods
gathered from the ends OF the
earth; strong men walk the streets
in a futile search for employment
and with the exhaustion Of hope
enter the ranks of the damned"
Great captains of industry close
factories without warning and dis
charge workmen by whose labors
they have amassed huge fortunes

Kelly's note to Russia looks like
an old Irish trick.
It seems very fitting at a time
such as this, when industrial activ-

to raise the Russian red scare, to
keep the unsuspecting from real

national economy. Any sideshoW

America as it applies to our social
order than Communism could ever
hope to be. The Christian doc
trines as they were taught by
Christ if applied to our social Or
der would be a more revolutionary
force in changing the existing So
cial, political and industrial inSti-
tutionS of our day than the
changes Lenin brought to Russia,
from autocracy to Communism.
We have in our midst sleeping
giant of potential force if Chris
tianity actually were put into
practice instead of being mouthed
by nominal adherents of the revo-
lutionary doctrines and philosophy
of Jesus. If the American Com
munists would espouse the doc
trines Of Jesus as applied to our

if Britain and Italy tangle. The impulse to

magnifed by the intensity of the depression

And whether We travel the same route we
did in the World War is more up to lis and
