Are Educational Tests Desirable ?

4
Many people think that educa-
tional tests are desirable for vot-
ers. Others think that they are
not necessary and would cause
much trouble.
Every person is given an equal
change to get an education. Public
schools have been established by
the state for the benefit of all. It
is, therefore, the fault of the in
dividual. in most cases, if he does
not know how to read and write.
If he is not able to meet the uuaIi-
fications of educational tests. One
advantage these tests give is that
they would keep illiterate people
from voting.
The disadvantage is that they
would keep many people from vot-
ing who have heard enough about
the candidates and issues to make
proper and careful selections for
the offices to be filled.
Although educational tests are
not necessary, it is desirable that
they be made so, in order that
more emphasis be placed on the
necessity of knowing how to read
and write.

The Queen Esther Organization

The Queen Esther Organization
The Queen Esther Organization,
a young peoples circle, originated
from the Book of Esther. The
work is similar to that of the real
Queen Esther, caring for the peo-
pie in every way possible, not only
spiritually but also raising the
standard of living. This work not
only deals with white people but
also Indians, Eskimos and Negroes,
in fact, with anyone who needs
help or improvement.
The requirements of one who
wishes to become a member are:
he should be from II to 20 years
old, he should be a Methodist, and
he should really be interested in
the organization. Dues are small
and there are objects one can pur-
chase to further establish oneself
as a member, if desired. There are
adequate Offices for everyone which
are expected to be fulfilld to the
best of ones ability.

tives and should progress rapidly.

Good Manners

Good manners are essential in
every day life. Cultivate them as
soon as possible, because the soon
er you do, the better. Never get
into the habit of throwing things
on the floor such as nutshells,
scrap paper, or burnt matches, and
don't ever carve initials on public
furniture, because I am quite sure
you would not do it on your own
furniture at home. If a hat or any
object happens to fall, pick it up
and put it where it belongs for the
sake of making the room look
neater. Mats and rugs are for
use and not for ornament. So don't
come in with dirty shoes and show
how forgetful you are.
A good phrase to keep in mind is
this, keep order, and order win
keep you"

that the people have almost COM

His work with the carbon trans
mitter, which made the telephone a
commercial success, led Edison to
the invention of the microphone.
t his instrument catches the faint
est sounds and makes possible our
radio broadcast.
Another very delicate instrument
invented by Edison in this period
is called the tasimeter. 1t is a de-
vice for registering the most min
ute degrees of heat.
In 1915 Edison became the presi-
dent of the United States Navy
Consulting Board. Up to 1928, the
United States Patent Office had
granted him 1888 patents.
The honors heaped on Edison
by grateful world are too num-
erous to mention. A few of the
greatest are listed. In 1878 the
French made him a Chevalier of
the Legion of Honor and a COM
mander in 1889. In 1915 he re-
ceived a Noble prize in physics. In
1927 he became a member of the
National Academy of Science. In
1929 the whole world united to pay
homage to him in the celebration
of Lights Golden Jubilee, the fif-
teth anniversary of the invention
of the incandescant electric lamp.
