You and Your
Nations Affairs
Our American Plan Works!
By JAMES S. THOMAS
President, ClarkSon College of Technology

and have assimilated some million
of these since 1900.
The commission also said It found
that this American Plan had pro-
duced three times as much wealth
as the whole world had been able to
produce up to 1776 (about the time
the American Plan started, and that
it had been so generally distributed
that the average man here became
magnet to attract others from all over
the world. especially from Europe.
(Where some of our most severe
critic-leeturers live) Any way. it is
true. that the population of this coun-
try since the middle of the last CEN
fury grew, not ten times, but tUenty
times as fast as any population ever
grew anywhere else in the world.
Something attracted them. The COM
mission thought it was the American
Plan.
But it also took look at what it
called, "the common man." It said
''the common men" under the Ameri-
can Plan had billions of dollars
saved in millions of accounts in saw
ings banks, that they had IS million
life insurance policies, that 60 per
cent of the farms were unencum-
bered. and that SIS per cent of the
urban homes were owned by free
holders.
The members of the commission
asked themselves the question, "Why
has the American Plan worked so
we'll? How has it wrought these mir
aCles?" And in answer, they made
their only mistake. They attributed
our success to natural resources and
mass production. But other nations
have greater natural resources than
we possess and we have no patent on
mass production. 1t can be adopted
by anyone who can work it. Mass pro-
duction is matter Of ingenuity. in
ventive ability, the spirit of coopera-
ton, and high incentive to work,
Always to work. to do little more
than is expected. This has been i'm
portant in the American Plan.
But there is another reason the
commission did not discover. About
1870, lot of fellows made up their
minds they were going to try some
thing new. That they were going to
change the relation between the po-
litical master and the citizen of the
State. They decided they would make
the government serve the individual
and leave the individual free to ex-
press himself in as many ways as
possible. 1t is not the American Plan
to turn this around.
The American Plan has worked.
The historical evidence is all on its
side. Are we ready to junk it for a
theoretical plan which has never
been actually tried successfully any,
where in the world? Democracy and
liberty are the basic elements in the
American Plan. Both are being ques-
toned today. especially in certain
European countries. The European
Plan may be alright for Europe. But
the European Plan is not particularly
reassuring just. now. Besides the
American Plan has worked

people had created and owned more
than half the wealth of the world.
That from only per cent of the
worlds acreage, we harvested more
than half the worlds foodstuffs.
That 60 per cent of the worlds min
erals are extracted in America.
That we have half the worlds
communication facilities.
That we have nearly half the
worlds railway and electric energy.
That we produce 80 per cent of the
worlds automobiles.
That 100000 of these automobiles
run over 100000 miles of paved road
here in the United States.
That this little per cent of the
worlds population enjoyed stand
ards of living which enabled them to
consume:
Half the worlds coffee
Half the worlds tin
Half the worlds rubber
Three-fourth's the worlds silk
One-third the worlds coal
Two-thirds the worlds crude oil.
Quite testimonial coming from a
critical study of our American Plan
by commission of Europeans who
wanted to know.
But the Commission was too scien-
tific to be satisfied with only a ma
terialistic exhibit of the success of
the American Plan. The thing which
seemed 10 amaze its members most
was, that in 1888 we spent more than
billion dollars on education which
was. they said, more than was spent
on education by all the other coun-
tries. They pointed out that today
there are 29,500,000 young people at
tending schools and colleges in this
country and that they are taught by
million teachers. Teachers and stu
dents together constitute a force of
approximately one-fourth of our total
population working at this thing we
call idealistic culture. This is very
real part of the American Plan. At
any rate, nothing like it has ever
before happened on this planet!
The commission also asserted, that
real and practical independence for
women was part of the American
Plan. We employ II million women

seed house in America, had sub
scribed for a horticultural maya

Warren also called attention to
the expense of maintaining the
Public Library and stressed the
point that its maintenance was an
important part o. the work OF

and valuable to t'1e city than is
often realized or appreciated.
The president, Mrs. Goshorn,
read a resolution relating to the
economic condition OF the citizens
of Key West which included a
petition to the President of the
United States. The resolution re-
quested that the relief work in

Drama School
Opens Oct. 5

S. e. Cochran, president of The
National Academy of Stage Train
ing, announces that the local
school of dramatic art will open
it's fall term the week of Octo-
Der S.
A complete new teaching facul-
ty will be headed by John Mckee,
director and Adelaide Hubbard,
assistant director. The dancing
department, directed by Marion
D. Venable, and the fencing de-
partment, directed by Major Ed
ward L. Dyer, will be as usual.
The course Of the Academy COW
erS all the essentials necessary in
the training of an actor; it is de-
voted to thorough and complete
technical studies and practices in
the various departments and to
the application of these studies in
rehearsals and in public perfor-
manceS.
The dancing and fencing de-
partments are separate and dis
tinct from the dramatic depart
ment. In these two departments
are taught all types Of dancing
and fencing and workmanship.

Mr.. Munro succeeds Mark
Luescher who retires from the post
because of a protracted illness.
SOCIALITE WITH BOWES
Well, Major Bowes leaped over
to the Columbia network and a
Thursday night spot with his anna
teurs last P. M. Instead Of java
he now extollS automobiles.
Best diversions on his hour were
provided those not strictly eligible
under the amateur rules. Mr..
Smith, president Of Consolidated
Edison, for instance.
This tycoon of industry was
playing golf with Major Bowes last
week and blew sour notes on har-
monica just as the king Of the
amateur world was about to sink
a three foot putt. The mayor stole
the harmonica and inveigled his
golf companion to the microphone.
Mr.. Smith played Listen to the
Mocking Bird" AS a musician so
per cent. AS a cross-fire stooge for
the Major he deserved the gong.
But the gong was muffled last
night.
Another surprise we're the veter-
ans Willie Collier and Joe Weber,
comedians, who made grandpa
laugh. They are still very, very
good and if they are available for
amateur units I imagine Carter
Barron would take them for the
BoweS show which comes to F
