for wealthy business men to sponsor
savings clubs for boys throughout the
country Each club would have 5O
members and each member would
contribute 81 a month, while the
sponsor would give S100 a year. AT
the end of five years the boys would
receive what they had saved and a
share of the $500 contributed by the
sponsor.
Mr.. Place had established one club
in Washington and two in st. Peters

ScIENTIFIC COnRAGR

When Amelia Earhart Putnam
completed the first solo flight evel
+ made between Hawaii and Califor.
nit. she gave a demonstration ol
what people can accomplish by con.
quering fear in a rational way. This
young woman is a marvel as respects
skilful aviation, but perhaps the
most remarkable thing in her per-
scnality is what may be called scien-
tifo courage.
When 1t is considered that 10 peo-
pie have lost their lives flying
across those 24OO miles of blue
water, Miss Earhart might well have
been excused for some trembling.
But when they asked her if she was
not worried out on that awful span
of watery desert. all she was ready
to admit was that she would have
been glad once or twice to see the
land.
Such an achieving young woman
gives lesson to all of us. of what
people can accomplish if they cast
aside fear or course there are
some folks who are not sufficiently
governed by rational fears. They
rush Needless into every kind of
danger
Miss Earhart. however. represents
different kind OF courage. With |
Ter high technical skill, she looks

THE CLASH OF OPINION

We must have the clash of free
opinion and debate for our national
! salvation. according to DIR. James B
Conant. president of Harvard Uni
versity, in a recent address.
Over in many European countries
now, they have a different idea. The
opinions of the people are standard
lied and systematized, and if you
hold unorthodox ideas. you must
keep your mouth shut. If you tried
to publish a newspaper voicing those
principles. they would put you in
jail, and in at least one country they
might line you up against a firing
squad.
They would claim in defense Of
that system, that you must have ma
tional unity in order to get any
where. If people are freely allowed
to express opinions contrary to the
government, these dictators say the
people would decline to support the
useful measures which the govern
ment has started to produce well
fare.
But there is no certainty that the
measures Of such governments will /
produce welfare. The little fellow .
in some small town who is criticising
the government may be perfectly /
right. If his ideas could. spread,
he people would throw OFF the bur
lens that shackled them. But the
government says No, and so his lit
lie press is silenced, and his work
shop of thought is closed and bar
ed.
The world needs the clash of
,piniOn, as DR.. Conant says. When
'ou hear only one side of ques- {
ion, it looks good. to you, even if ]
hat statement is made up of half t
ruths. But when you hear both {
ides, the ordinary man can form a
Idgment. The Old-time grocery /
