TEACHING YOUTH TO DO
ITS OWN THINKING

Seldom has there been more pro-
found pronouncement in the field of
education than that of Sheridan N. Heg
land, writing in pamphlet issued by
the Stanford School of Education. He
says:
"An informed public immunized
against the grosser propaganda tech
niques of pressure groups anxious to
shape the future to selfish ends, deter
mined to hear and judge all viewpoints,
aware of the values of objective scienti-
fic judgment, conscious of the long
term implications of present decisions,
and with sufficient understanding of
major trends and contemporary ten
sions to afford it a measure Of pre-vi-
sion is imperative"
If educators followed t h a t creed,
teaching their students to do their own
thinking, there would be far less criti-
cism of modern trends in education. The
trouble is that too many educators do
not believe their students are thinking
unless the students believe as the pro-
fessors do. The world can ask nothing
more than population trained to do
its own thinking.

Other Editors Say
SHIPPERS ARE HUMAN, BUT
wall Street JournaD

That a vigorous opposition from shipping in
terests has been offered to the suggestion OF
extending the railroad freight Surcharges pend
ing investigation of the rate proposals Is
as much cause for surprise as was the rising
of this mornings sun. If there can be found in
the records of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission any instances of failure by shippers to
protest rate increase 1t would be interesting
to learn when it happened. We accept this at
titude inevitable because 1t springs from a
strictly human instinct. 1t would however, De
interesting to see by what arguments it will be
supported before the commission.
To the laymans mind the question seems
simple one. The rates in controversy have been
in effect for a considerable time and have
moved traffic to an extent sufficient to produce
something in the neighborhood of $llO0O0,O0O
per annum of additional net revenue which the
carriers obviously need. AS these rates nave
not restricted traffic-if they had done SO the
net revenue would not have been increased SO
substantially-hoW can they be more than rea-
sonable maxima? So would run the horseback
judgment" of the man in the street.
Nevertheless in fairness to the interstate
Commerce Commission, it must be remembered
that it cannot judge from horseback, but must
take into consideration multitude OF facts that
are not visible from the saddle In all cases OF
this sort, it has to arrive at conclusions from
consideration which are not reducble to mathe-
matical quantities. The difficulty in dealing
with railroad rates is that the "just rate" must
somehow equate two factorS-cost Of service and
worth of service-so that the result satisfies the
respective equities of shipper and carrier. Yet
neither factor can be definitely evaluated; it
can only be estimated and that only within wide
limits.
Where as in the present case, the factor of
cost of service is pretty clear, because of the
admitted inSufficiency OF carrier revenue, 1t
might be said that the "just rate" would be
that rate at which the traffic moving under it
would produce the largest amount Of revenue
for the carrier. Theoretically, at least 1t might
be possible that dropping the SurchargeS would
so increase traffic to increase revenue, as has
in fact happened to some extent in the case OF
passenger rates. But how is this ''just rate" to
be found save by trial? And whose business
is 1t to make the trial?
In the case of passenger rates, the commits
sion assumed with at least very doubtful legal
ity) the authority to make the trial. II it chose
to follow that precedent in the case Of the SUR
charges, who could now predict the revenue re-
suits? This newspaper is flatly opposed to as
sumption by the commission of what is clearly
a managerial function But what that body did
once it may do again. and it is quite certain
that what it will will not do in this case Is
not susceptible of prediction by anyone else.
This newspaper will not attempt guess.

Men make war. it is said, because
the fighting instinct is ineradicable
as if some ghost of caveman days
went stalking through the dark cor
ridors of every human heart. ready
to come out swinging his club the
moment the bars were let down.
Because of this, we are told, we can
never have permanent peace.
It may be so. But if it is, why do
the ordinary soldiers of the world
take advantage of every chance to
fraternize with their enemies, and
substitute comradeShip for killing
whenever their officers aren't look
ing?
Perhaps you read recent news
dispatch from Cincinnati in which
Lothar Schurgast-now an Ameri-
can citizens, but during the war a
soldier in the German army-told
how he won the iron cross for
valor.
Schurgast took a German squad
by night to a ruined village between
the lines to establish an advanced
observation post. In the ruined vii
lage he and his men bumped into
a British squad bound on a similar
mission. The rival squads decided
not to shoot; instead, they brought
out some playing cards and cigaretsr
and had poker game!
They did this every night for
eight nights. The German papers
were full of stories about the brav'
cry of this squad, which held the
most dangerous post on the front
Schurgast got the iron cross; the
leader of the Tommie doubtless was
similarly decorated. And at the
bottom of it all was a game OF
poker.

HOW MANY YOUNGSTERS
MAKE GOOD ON PAROLE

The recent case of three boys in north
ern California, paroled from a state ju-
venile institution, who turned killers
during a robbery, focuses the spotlight
of public opinion once again on the ques-
tion of probation and parole. This time
the question deals with offenders under
the age of 81. How many of them make
good on parole?
The question is answered in statistics
kept by state officials. Ninety per cent
of the juvenile offenders who have serv-
ed part of their terms in juvenile in
stitutions, and are paroled, make good
in the outside world. This means that
they become desirable citizens. The other
10 per cent does not.
In Imperial county, the percentage of
those who make good is little less,
but that is because only the worst Of
tenders are sent up from this county
to state institutions. The others, those
who would make up the 80 per cent,
are placed on probation without being
sent up-and probation in most of the
cases has proven warranted.
1t would not be right to imprison the
90 per cent because the 10 per cent does
not make good. That 10 per cent repre-
sents the margin of human error, and
is one which should not cause any great
amount, of criticism. On the whole, the
juvenile probation system is good one.

New Deal UnderB,ines Supreme Court
Pairing The Way For Roosevelt IT
He Decides To Do Something

sUAsHINGTON-Present New Deal strategy
is TO undermine the prestige OF the u 3 Su-
preme Court, to prepare the public mind ior
whatever Roosevelt decides TO do about curolng
the court-n and When ne declues 10 oo any
thing at all. ,-,,
The court not for the first time, has helped.
the administration by performance at which
its critics point finger OF scorn
Just before the political conventions, When
it appeared that Republicans would make pre-
servation of the courts powers a campaign is
sue the justices handed down to decision
against the New York minimum wage law, a
ruling SO unpopular that the Republican candl-
date thereafter publicly suggested possible
constitutional amendment Court and Constitu-
ton faded away as big political issues
Now the court is on the pan again because
it split even, four justices against four, on the
New York unemployment insurance act, approv-
ing as if by default favorable decision OF the
lower court
If the lower court had held the act invalid,
the supreme court deadlock would have had the
effect of denying states the right to provide Tor
unemployment insurance, tearing away New
Deal cornerstone.
And the fact that no opinion was written on
either side gave the critics additional opportu-
nifty for ridicule.
Chief Justice Hughes said: "The Con-
stitution is what the judges say 1t is" Thus
when the judges of the highest bench fail to
say anything at all on vitally important con-
stitutional issue, New Dealers are given chance
to say that the courts procedure in the unem-
poyment insurance marks the ultimate in
absurdity
OF course it is assumed that if Justice Har-
Ian F. Stone hadn't been i'll, the decision would
have been 5 to in favor of the New York law.
General supposition is that Justices Hughes and
Roberts moved over from the conservative side
to join the two other liberals, BrandeiS and Car
dozo.

UNCLE SAN SHOULD BE
REASONABLE ABOUT LIKE MEAD

1t is good news that an inter-depart-
ment agreement has been reached be-
tween the National Park Service and
the United States Bureau of Reclama-
ton for a long-term development pro-
gram on Lake Mead. No American who
has ever been a tourist-and most of
US fall under that classification now
and then-can read of plans for recrea-
tional facilities on the gigantic man
made reservoir without hoping to visit
there To westerners, the announcement
is especially gratifying.
Any person who has ever visited a
national park, however, will join fer
vently in one wish. 1t is that reason
ableness shall prevail once the recrea-
tional area is established. Those who
have paid five dollars night for one
room cabin in national parks, or shelled
out a dollar and a hair for fifty cent
meal at the eating places established by
companies under concessions from the
park service, cannot help hoping that
the same prices will not prevail at Lake
Mead.
There is no reason for these high
prices in the national parks, except that
competition is prevented from seek
ing a share of the business The govern
ment bureau could correct the situation
by providing, when a concession is grant
ed, that prices shall be reasonable.
A lot of people will enjoy Lake Mead,
regardless of prices. A lot more will
enjoy the great public lake if prices
are reasonable. The park service should
see that they are.

Bruce Cation Says:>>
There is No War Lust in the Human Heart

be duplicated a thousand times,
the unwritten annals of the worldZ
armies. Our own Civil War was
full of such occurrences. There was
the famous winter of 1863, for in
stance. when the northern and
southern armies lay facing each
other along opposite banks OF the
Rappahannock.
The dreadful battle of Fredericks-
burg was just behind them; ahead
of them were Charlottesville, Get
tysburg, and the long agony OF the
1864 campaign in the Wilderness.
But for that winter, along the riv-
er, there was peace.
X X
Rival picketS made little wooden
boats and sailed them across the
river, the southerners shipping
packets of tobacco, the northerners
sending back quinine and coffee.
They exchanged notes and shouted
greetings; and one winter evening
federal army band came down the
river bank and gave a concert,
while both armies listened.
X X u
1t played The Star-Spangled
Banner" and then it played Dixie;
and at last it played Home, Sweet

sang it there in the winter twilight
and, being homesick youngste y
under their battle-stained uniformly
wept and felt sick of war and killing.
This ingrained savagery of ours
where is it, anyway? Isn't 1t just a
myth, after all? Men would be
friends-they would like one anoth-'
er, and play games and sing songs,
instead of killing-if only they were

from, it does not come from the

ENGINEERING SCIENCE
FREEZES A LANDSLIDE

Now and then, from the uninitiated
comes complaint that altogether too
much administrative expense attaches to
the construction of large reclamation
projects. One of the best answers yet
given is in the success of government
engineers on the Grand Coulee project
halting a landslide by freezing the earth.
A 100000 cubic yard landslide, NOV
ing at two feet an hour, threatened to
fill up an excavation on the great pro-
ject. The slide was of such gigantic
proportions that usual methods could
not be used to stop it. Two secondhand
refrigeration machines, with capacity
of 80 tons of ice a day, were purchased
by the engineers, and brine pipes were
driven into the slowly moving earth.
The soil was frozen, effectively dam
ming the landslide and allowing excava-
ton to continue.
The feat saved hundreds of thou
sands of dollars, allowed the job TO go
ahead on schedule, and proved that en-
gineers are more than figureheads on
ary construction job.
