THE SCHOOL BUILDING REPORT

( 4 ICIH SCHOOL Aol.ong in Indianapolis is not
keeping pace with enrolment and must be I'M
proved Ii the city is TO do its duty by the pupils
That Is the essence OF report by building COM
mittee TO the Board of School Commissioners
For some reason, enrolment in elementary
schools Is not increasing at the same rate as en-
rolmcnt III high schools 1he demand here, as IL is
III many clues, is Tor modern school buildings tor
those WAooe education may end the twelfth grade
The committee thinks the board should build
ne" school III 1ryington replace the portableS at
Arsenal Technical, and erect additions to George
Washington and CIispuS Attacks. Two millions
would pay Tor these and 100000 would relieve bad
conditions III the elementary schools.
The report OF the building committee includes an
estimate OF the load the school plant up to l94l
1t rings with facts II tells the people that unless
something is done Immediately the cost of bringing
the buildings Up the ctys needs Will be infinitely
greater.
1t Is to be hoped that at least portion of the
program can be put into operation. The city can
not afford to neglect its schools.

THE NEW PROFESSION

TWO million dollars go to Harvard for graduate
school in the science of government The donor
is Lucius Littauer of New York In accepting the
gift President Conant asks President Dodds of
Princeton to head a committee to learn how the
school may best be set up.
This is indeed patriotic and wise gift If our
young men are to make careers of government serv-
ice they must be trained by scholars who have
studied the past and who are able to guide for the
future
Such schools open a new profession. The historic
method OF casual appointment of political friends
to offices requiring exact knowledge is on the way
out The country needs trained men and women.
Such benefactions Mr.. Littauers are in line with
the best thought in philanthropy and government.

ROAD TO WAR"

A MEXICAN missionaries in Ethiopia yesterday
presented signed protest to the United States
charge daffaires in Adds Ababa, saying in part
There was never deliberate insult to
the American flag than Italys Commandment of the
American Mission Hospital property at Dessye and
the consequent endangering of American lives
the first bombs were dropped on American prop
erty adjoining the Red Gross encampment. Forty
struck the compound and five the hospital marked
by large American flag and Red Cross
This wholesale commandment OF an area which
is far removed from the main town of Dessye obvi-
ouSly could not have been accidental For years the
Italian authorities have known the exact location
and other particulars of this property
Claims that munitions are stored there are
ridiculous
We, the undersigned, hope this brutal and in
sultng act will open the eyes Of the few remain
ing Americans at home who may still be defending
Italy in its present attempt to conquer Ethiopia"
WYE Americans at home" are naturally SYM
W pathetic toward any of our countrymen when
they under attack IN any foreign land. But
We Americans at home" should also be realistic
enough to understand that it is of such incidents as
this that our wars made-Whether the Amer
leans be missionaries in Ethiopia or passengers on
LUsitania.
And in the further interest of realism we recall
right that:
Last July while the rainy season was still on and
long before single Italian soldier tank or plane
had passed the Ethiopian border, the United
States State Department advised all Americans in
that land missionaries included, to come home
That advice had but purpose-to minimize the
possibility Of any incident which might conceivably
infame American public opinion and thereby pro-
pei us into another the seas.
We Americans at home" at the time heartily
Endorsed that purpose.
But many Americans IN Ethiopia did not take
the advice of our State Department.
One OF them, T. A. Lambie, head of the Sudan
Interior mission, announced that American mission
aries would remain at their posts and do their duty
they fit regardless of whatever happens"
I'VE put our faith in God," he said at that time
land do not expect consular protection"
Mr.. Lambies is listed as one of the sgners
of yesterdays protest to the United States charge
daffaires.

OTHER OPINION
Fads About Food
LA Porte Herald-Areusl

Most Of us use the accredited i'm
plements at the table, the knife, FORK
and spoon, and refrain from tear
ing our food in our fists and con-
veying it to our mouths in our
fingers.
We think Of ourselves as civilized
creatures who have table manners.
But unfortunately most of us have
not advanced very far along the
road to complete intelligence IN our
eating.
What we take into our stomachs,
how often and how much, are prob
lens that We have not met ard
mastered. And we are continually
grasping at fads which we think
will give us better digestions or keep
our weight down.
We do this in a manner of des-
peration when our eating habits
have brought us to difficulties.
We grasp at fads when we should
have the gunption to rearrange our
whole eating program.

THEY CALLED 1T CHEWING" ONCE

TUSr as further proof that history does repeat
owe quote from a letter from a friend who likes
to read history:
II re-readng the life of Aaron Burr (the
one by Wandel and Minningerode) last night, and
ran across a paragraph which rather startled me-
1 had thought these Innovations brain trusters and
agriculturists, were original and that the idea of
blowing up one-third of the wheat, corn or cotton
seemed to bear the stamp of inventive genius. This
outstanding paragraph in the Burr biography clearly
indicates that there is nothing under the sun:
Through her mother, Theodosia was even
more conspicuousy connected with the history of the
colonies. Her t-great-grandfather Nicholas
Stillwel, had come from Surrey to be one of the
earliest tobacco planters at Yorktown, in Virginia;
and in 1882 when in order to curb the excessive
cultivation of the plant it was decreed that crops
should be viewed and one-haf of each crop burned
Nicholas was chosen as viewer being of expert
ence and dignity"

DOWN WITH SLUMS

CENATOR WAGNER of New York will press before
~ the next Congress his bill to coordinate all
government housing activities and set up an $780,
100000 revolving fund for low-interest, long-term
loans and grants to cities for razng sums and build
ing cheap, modern dwellings, for workers families.
And Senator Bankhead of Alabama will again
urge passage Of his bill authorizing a S11OOO0000O
fund-s1O0 100000 of which would be subscribed by
the government and the through sale of govern
ment-g guaranteed boncs-to be used for low-nterest
loans to tenant farmers and Sharecroppers to buy
and equip farms.
Compared to the magnitude of the problems of
city and rural sums these sums are small. But, we
believe, they too large until the government
learns first how to do the job
None of its multiple housing agencies has yet
worked out the formula for providing city homes
at rentals which low-paid workers families can af-
ford. Loans to mited-dividend corporations have
been tried Also the Federal government has entered
directly into the business of rehousing This program
at present includes so projects to accommodate
$500 families, and doubtless will be valuable for
demonstration purposes. But surely the answer is
not to be found in the government itself becoming
the landlord to millions of families The Wagner bill
plan of substituting cities with grants and loans per-
uniting each city to tackle its own sum problem,
plan be tested first on a small scale?
TINE New Deals Subsistence Homesteads Division
and later its Resettlement Administration have
tried to make freehoders of dispossessed farm
ers. In these efforts the government appears also
to have failed in evolving inadequate answer
Senator Bankheads plan of providing loans for
farmers who can offer evidence of their ability to
make the grade is well worth trying But hardly on
billion dollar scale until the plan has proved its
worth.
IN principle we agree with these two socially
minded senator's that city suinS and squalid tenant
huts give way decent dwellings if ours is to
become again a land where equality of opportunity is
something more than a chat phrase.
Government experts estimate that at least six
million families live in "substandard" town and city
homes, and five million more live in farm homes
that are definitely substandard" Substandard

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE story of Old Jules is told in book of the
~ same name by his daughter, Mari Sandoz who
got the Atlantic Monthly prize for 1t. Courage and
severe truth are in its pages otherwise daughter
could give the public such pitiless portrait of her
father.
Old Jules, the man, is no stranger to those whose
parents helped to settle the Middle West There are
many of his kind from Canada to Texas; tough
shoots from European trees who fastened themselves
in American soil and transplanted the Old World
ideal of male supremacy in every section of land.
Jules wanted freedom and growth for himself
but not for his women. Those he made into dray
horses, forgetting that the wide lands which called
to his ambitions also had room for the mounting
wings of feminine aspiration
The pioneer life was hard that only the strong
est could survive The weak soon persisted and their
bones still fertilize praires Every civilization
marches forward over womens crushed hearts, and
is exception. Worn out by hard work, worry,
poor food and Collaborating most of the wives died
young, or went insane, animals will when tor
tured beyond endurance.
Reading of the ones who were harried by Old
Jules, your stomach will turn over now and then.
but when you finally put down the book. wonder
whether the question will creep into your
mind that came to mine. 1t is question traitor
Gus to all we believe in that almost fear to put it
to you fear to look at it myself. Here it is:
Is it so dreadful to have lived as those pioneer
did-fully deeply, even desperately, reaching
both the heights and the depths of existence? Was
their fate worse than that of millions of modern
women who drag through long procession of empty
days frustrated materially, with nothing for their
hands to make with countless idle hours to fill, and
with an awful feeling of useessness weighing them
down?
None of U.s. daresay, would want to trade places
with Mary, the only Of the four women who
lived through the ordeal Of pioneering with Old
Jules We are much too soft. But let's not be soft
enough to pity her too much.

QUESTION
BY HARRIET SCOTT OLINICK

BY HARRIET SCOTT OLINICK
When will I learn, through bitter
ness,
To take the trickle of the days,
And taste each moment for itself?
When will I learn that sorrow fays
Forever those who walk the path
Where many feet have trod before?
Where danger turks to strike again?
Where premonition guards the core?
l who would take my life and spend
The present planning for an hour
When fruit OF labor will be plucked,
AS luscious as a passion flower.
I who would live for future day
Can never know the bread of peace.
Always will death be leering close.
Never will know cool surcease.
So when will I, through bitterness,
Learn to tip the wine of now
To eager lips and drain the dregs?
Tomorrow death may not allow.
