LEARNING IN OLD AGE

Another ancient idea which is said to
have been refuted by scientific research is
the belief that soon after reaching ma
turity ones ability to learn is seriously les
sened. After long series of experiments
Dr. Sorenson of the University of Mime
sofa declares that one may learn as rapidly
at SO as at Is.
To those who have had the will to
learn in later life, this is nothing new. 1t
is suspected that the plea of 'tOo old to
learn was invented by someone who was
too Indifferent OF too lazy to try
elsons who have attained success in
any calling involving much mental effort
have been obliged to go on learning from
year to year in order to keep abreast with
new developments and discoveries. Many
have changed to an entirely new line of
work and have won distinction in it after
reaching middle age.
Because of rapidly changing condi-
lions in civilization which is becoming
more and more complex, it will be even
more necessary in the future than in the
past that study be continued during the
entire period of active life

Colin English's Vote
iFrom Ocala Evening San

(FrOm Ocala Evening starr
A study Of the available eIer-
tiOn returns shows that the pee
pie of Florida evidently want to
replace the present state super
intendent Of public instruction
with a younger, more aggressive
man.
The popularity Of Mr.. English.
on a statewide basis. with four
other men making a bid for 10
office, is rather remarkable. -
he Is a newcomer 70 state politics
and not a politician or vOte-getter
as we measure those seeking pub
lie office.
But Mr.. EngliSh's popularity IN
those counties where he l. best
known. is the best gauge o. his
worth as an educator and school
executive.
In Lee county, where Mr. Eng
lish held the position Of hiEh
school principal before coming 70
Oeala, he received 1896 votes 70
353 for his leading opponent. Or
on ratio OF nine 10 one. and On
Marion county English received q
total Of 37O3 TO sol for Cawthou.
or a seven TO one plurality
There Is no question IN the
minds Of the people who know
Colin English best that he b
equipped by training and exPeri-
ence to take over the super
intendence Of their school afraIrs
at Tallahassee. They have ex-
pressed their confidence in HIM at
the polls in language that every
one understands.

LIGHT VS.. FROGS

Once more has science come to the
aid of man in his efforts to overcome the
obnoxious habits of certain species of the
animal kingdom.
A California hotel has among its at
fractions some slightly lily ponds but these
became infested with bullfrogs, whose
nightly concerts were a great annoyance
and kept the guests awage.
After offering bounties for all frogs
capture, hiring ritlemen to shoot them
and exhausting all his ingenuity to rid the
ponds of the nocturnal nuisance, the man.
ager began a scientific study of frog psy-
chology through reading all the books he
could get hold of which might give an in
sight into their habits.
His research revealed that frogs sing,
or crOak, only under the cover of darkness,
SO he arranged for the illumination of the
lily ponds by electric lights.
Now, the story goes, the frogs, baffled
by science, sit dumb, vanly awaiting the
nights curtain of darkness, while the
guests slumber in peace.

IT'S THE LAW, ANYWAY!

There is little use for the average citi
zen to attempt to understand the theories
of law by which the United States Supreme
Court has decided % that the Federal
government cannot pass law fixing fair
wage for women and GU that the States
themselves cannot pass a law fixing a fair
wage for women.
1t is enough to realize, as the law is
now declared, that no government can
pass law fixing a fair wage for women.
and to have the general idea that under
the present Interpretation there are other
areas of activity in which neither the
power of the States nor that of the Fed
eral government is-effective.
Whether one agrees with the ma
jOrity opinions of the high court or not,
nothing is to be gained by denouncing the
justices. The next step is to see that either
the States, or the Federal government, be
given the necessary power to rule in the
twilight zones that now exist without the
law.

QUESTIONING THE KIDS

With view to determining some
thing or other, Columbia professors re-
Gently questioned more than 500 boys be-
tween the ages of six and eight years.
Asked what they wanted to be when
they grew up, only five expressed desire
to become President of the United States
And only six of the more than 500 remem-
bered ever hearing of Mr.. Roosevelt
Among those tested were several named
Calvin, but they did not appear to know
much about their namesake.
Most of them thought the career of a
policeman or fireman would be more to
their liking than any other.
ManifeStly, boys of such tender ages
'shou1dSnot be expected to know the an
swerS to some of the questions asked. A
lot of grown-ups don't know the answers

be good politician if he could not
do this gracefully.
After a policy is determined upon.
| its execution must be performed by
expert administrators. There is no
room in administration for the poll
tician or his methods. Competent,
impartial administrative capacity Is
what counts. Our mistake has been
that we have permitted the poll
tician to extend his influence and
control far beyond legitimate limits.
with the result that administration
| is incompetent, expensive and at
times corrupt.
The distinction can be illustrated
in the case of bridge. The decision
to build one and the purposes it is
to serve, whether for pedestrians,
vehicles, rapid transit trains. or all
three, are questions of public policy.
Such decisions the people can make
and it is proper for politicians to
argue the pros and cons in reaching
decision.
Neither the politicians nor the
people can build the bridge. This is
job for experts. There is no such
thing as Republican or Democratic
steel. cement or bedrock. 1t is all very
we'll for the politician to use blarney
or any other shafts from the culver
of persuasion during the campaign
to settle the policy. If the engineer
tries such methods in building the
bridge he will have a wreck on his
hands. When the politician insists on
communicating the efficiency of adj
miniStration by filling administrative
or employee positions with his hench-
men. without regard to their quail
fications, the public gets less and pays
more for it. This is what happens
when the spoils system is the basis
of selecting large numbers of the
public personnel.
Under the merit system all strictly
administrative positions would be
filled on a merit basis. In the few
places where good civil service sys-
tenn is found, this has proved to be
the best method yet developed to
select the most capable persons for
many ordinary types of public serv-
ice, whether for routine operations
such as clerks or foremen. or for
the minor administrative posts such
as bureau chiefs.
One of the most important first
steps that we can take toward the
improvement of our public admins
tration and the reduction of its cost
is to establish clearly the boundary
between policy determination and
administration and then keep all po-
litical influence out of the latter. The
best assurance of accomplishing this
is through sound. strictly applied
merit system.

DAYS GONE BY

The Files OF The Citizen

Having lived happily together
for three score and ten years and
tr;.v~ lied the world over, Mr.@and
Mis-. Louis Ii, Lore, 1013 Angela
street, are today surrounded by
loved ones Of four generations,
ard are celebrating the seventieth
ann versary Of their marriage. Mr..
La Mora is 81 years old, Mrs. La
Mora is 85. Their union 70
years ago has been blessed with
nine children, and they now Toast
of sc grandchildren and 13 great
grandchildren. He is a native of
New York and she is of French
parentage. They have travelled to
pract ca.ly every resort in the
Nolld, and hav ng seen many Of

tends that the persons turned out
are less efficient than their success
sors. The employees thus evicted from
public jobs owed their own appoint
ments to the earlier operation of the
spoils system, and they yield to the
inevitable with not much more COM
plant than was raised by the slaves
of oriental potentates when diversion
was provided for visitors by cutting
off few heads.
All beneficiaries of the spoils sys-
tenn realize that their jobs depend on
political victory and they work zeal
ously for the party. Indeed. they
sometimes do far more work for the
party than they do for the public.
The whole point of the spoils system
is that they shall first serve the party
and then, as convenient, serve the
public who pay their salaries.
The common sense remedy for this
abuse is the merit system. In order
TO understand the proper sphere
within which the merit system should
apply. it is necessary to grasp the
distinction between the function of
policy determination and that of ad-
ministration. The business of govern
ment involves both-policies must
first be determined, and then carried
out. In democracy the people decide
what the policies shall be. and it is
proper that candidates for office
should seek to influence the popular
opinion and decision. This is the field
for the politician. who tries to per-
suade people that his ideas and plans
are superior to those of his opponent
Since the function of the poll
tician is to represent the people in
the formulation of their policies. he
may change his tune if he finds that
the people prefer another. No really
good politician ever bushes for
changing his stand after learning
what the people want. He would not

1t is very difficult to define a So
called delinquent taxpayer In the first
place since he is delinquent he is not a
taxpayer; if he is unable to pay his taxes
he is not a tax dodger unless he can pay
them and prefers not to: if he would pay
his taxes but cannot, he is a non-taxpayer,
but if he is a nOn-taxpayer it follows he
cannot be a taxpayer. He cannot be
called a non-taxpaying property owner,
because the moment his property is ad-
vertised and sold to the state, he cannot
per Sc own the property. Perhaps, there
is an appellation to fit the person whose
property was sold to the state and who is
making no effort to redeem it by paying
his delinquent taxes.
