THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
Public School IUeek calls our attention
to The importance of the public school
in the life of this nation.
This is Public School Week.

This is Public School Week.
1t originated in 1920 when Califor-
MAS educational systems were facing
a fight for survival. Today, it is an
occasion for giving thought to the pub
lie schools which train future genera
tions.
Nothing can be more deserving of
close public thought. AS the bough is
bent, the tree grows and as the mental
processes of children are directed, the
future of the nations men and women
is determined.
This nation is founded on the theory
that people can rule themselves. The
success of the theory depends upon the
degree of intelligence, not of a select
limited group, but of the people at large.
That is the warrant of our public
schools
Education in itself cannot make peo-
pie wise, but it can give individuals tools
with which to work, awaken dormant
interests and ambitions, and pillow the
fields where future crops will grow.
Education has evolved into science.
Just as the physical we'll being of chill
dren is entrusted to trained medical eX-
perts, we now entrust their mental we'll
being to trained educators. 1t would be
difficult matter to say which is most
important, the doctor or educator
1t is also another moot question
whether the parent or the teacher has
the most profound influence on children,
so closely does the school rank with the
home as fundamental pillar of society.
Realizing all this and more, the par
ent now pays special attention to the
school systems and the selection of
those individuals who are to operate
them.
1t is true that the schools play very
important part in the tax bills where
economy is becoming more and more
necessary. but on the whole, there is
much consolation in knowing that Cali
fornia has schools second to none, and
that Ell Centre and Imperial Valley rank
well up in the state lists.
For this, the educators and school
boards and voters themselves deserve
equal credit.

For three long years now it has looked pref

didn't look bad at first Back in those brave
young days of 1882 President Roosevelt recruited
his brain trust" from the teeming campuSes, and
young professors rolled up their sleeves-as their
leader, Dr. Tugwell sang-and prepared to make
America over.
1t became apparent, however, that a good

brain trusts began. Is DR.. Writ forgotten? He it
was who fired the first resounding shot. And
since then the Republican National Committee

LINCOLN ELLSWORTH
SERVES HIS COUNTRY

Compared to Admiral Byrd Lincoln
Ellsworth's adventures in the antarctic
were very much of an anti-climaX. But
though Ellsworth attracted far less
public attention, it is remotely possible
that his actual benefit to this country
will strike higher tally than that of
the popular Byrd.
The other day Ellsworth was award
ed the Hubbard memorial medal by the
National Geographic Society acting
through President Roosevelt. He de-
served it and more He has always ap-
pealed to US as quiet, soft-spoken sort
of fellow who does things without lot
of folderoll and flubdub. Kind of like
Lindbergh. Not that Byrd is grand
stander because he isn't. Both are mary
elously modest and while Byrd was
thrust into the limelight Ellsworth was
able to stay pretty well in the quiet
background.
The reason he received the Hubbard
medal was that he brought to the United
States, 100000 square miles of Antarcti-
ca. Just what this country can do with It
is in doubt. Eventually, though, that
frozen world may become worth count
less millions.
At any rate, Japan probably won't
be wanting it right away as much as she
wants the Philippines.

Keynoter Difficulties :. RaSpberrieS
Bound to Come Contention
Strategy

WASHINGTON.-Selec of keynoter Tor
a political convention is usually followed by
shower of raspberries from the opposition whch
always is glad to suggest that the choice was
a sour one.
Currently it is being pointed out that SEN
ator Fred Stewer of Oregon who VIII SOUND
off for the Republicans at Cleveland voted
for AAA NRA, IVA, SEC, the Wagner labor
bill, and other New Deal legislation
All this means is that the candidate-for-
kcynoter's record assuming he has kept out OF
Jail isn't taken into consideration When the
party bosses pass on him.
Strategy from the viewpoints OF nomination
politics and geographical background, and the
question whether the fellow has big voice ana
a good platform presence, are the chet deter
mining factors.
Unless your memory is short, you VIII recall
that when Roosevelt's forces put over the Selec-
ton of Senator Alben w Barley OF Kentucky
diverse quarters.
For the party organization had been nam
mering away steadily at the Hawey- y-Smoot tariff
bill and there it was right on the record that
Barkley had voted to put prohbitiYe coal ana
oil tariffs into a tax bill
Also Barkley had been an Anti-Saloon
League orator and the party was about to leap
to the vet. There was a lot of talk about a
Democratic revolt against Barkley and Al Smltn
was expected to make use OF BarkleyS record
during his effort to stop Roosevelt
But nothing happened. Barkley made good
speech without being hecked. The party Went
on to victory and no one would remember
either the keynoter or his record if he hadn't
turned up again recently as a likely keynoter
for 1886.
