AL COMES OUT FOR ALT

AL Smith, the once happy war
rior," but for months past a very
much dfsgruntled politician, walked
out on the Democratic party when
those high in its councils refused to
be dictated to by him.
AL has now walked still further
away from his Democratic friends.
In fact, he has deserted them COM
pletely and gone over to the Repub-
lican camp, publicity declaring that
he believes the remedy for all the
ills we are suffering from is the cleo
ton of Alfred M. Landon."
Mr.. Smith In his speech Thursday
night devoted himself more to deny
ing that he is actuated by personal
grudge or by new business associa-
lions, than he did to explaining
where the fundamental political
cleavage comes.
Just what influence the Hon. Al
will have on the winning of Repub-
lican votes is altogether matter OF
conjecture. Some party-biased prog
nosticators attempt to say at least 3
100000 voters will follow their for
mer idol into the Republican camp;
but this surely is placing poor es-
innate on the intelligence of the vot-
er of this day and generation to as
tune that any such number will fol-
low a leader as blindly and willing
ly as will sheep, no matter where he
may go.

OVER TWO PER CENT OF CCC
ARE ILLITERATE

Approximately 10000 illiterate
enrollees in the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps have been taught to read
and write through the camp educa-
tional programs since the establish
ment of the corps, according to a
statement made by Mr.. Howard w.
Oxley, Director of CCC Camp Educa-
ton, in a report forwarded to the
War Department September 6, 1886,
and transmitted to Mr.. Robert Fech-
ner, Director of Emergency Conser-
walton Work.
This number represents approx
mately IN per cent of the total en-
rollment, the report discloses. One
Of the primary detectives of the edu-
cational program is to teach the il
literates in the camps at least to read
and write.
Methods used in training them are
adapted to the individual needs of
each enrollee, Mr.. Oxley pointed out.
The learners begin with words and
phrases common to daily life. Stor-
les and news items are read to them.
They are then asked to relate or
write up this material in their own
way. Comics in the newspapers, ad-
vertisements in magazines, and signs
along the road are used in the teach
ing process. They contain many
words which the illiterate can soon
master and associate with objects or
activities. AS they advance, the men
are shown how to express their
thoughts in the form of letter or
brief account, Mr.. Oxley said.

ONE OUT OF EVERY FOUR PER-
SONS in U. S. TO ENTER SCHOOL

Approximately 100000 boys,
girls, and adult citizens, or one of
every four persons in our country,
will turn schoolward this year. About
100000 will attend the kinder
garten or elementary school. Six
million will enter high school, and
about 100000 young men and wo-
men will enter college. About 3D.
100000 are enrolled in the emer-
gency education classes, evening
schools, and special schools of var
ious kinds.
Approximately 1,018,000 teachers
will assume the responsibility this
year for the instruction of America s
pupils and students in both public
and private institutions of learning.
Other data issued by the U. c..
Office of Education at Washington
reveal that the rural school term will
average about 161 days; the city
terms will average 1872 days. Based
on reports for previous years, each
rural pupil will be absent about rs
days, and each city pupil, about rs
days. Every day there are, on the
average, 100000 children absent
from school. This appalling record
of absence from school is being care
fully studied to find the causes and
to suggest remedies.
The annual cost of public educa-
ton is $25.61 per citizen, or cost
to each of only cents day. Add a
cent and a half to the z cents, and
the sum would pay the cost of in
structing the S,364,0O0 persons en-
rolled in private schools.
For nearly ten years the number
of illiterates of this country has
stood at about 100000. 1t seems
difficult to materially reduce this fig
ure, despite the amount Of money be-
ing expended for education.

The Naturalness of
Happiness
r HE desire for complete happt-

" HE desire for complete happt-
ness is deep-rooted, happiness
being one Of humanity's great
est needs. Regardless Of race or class
or creed, mortals unite in hoping that
somewhere, some day, perfect hap
piness will be reached. The history
of mankind records what strange
means the human family has resorted
to in the attempt to satisfy this need,
and history also shows how incom-
plete the results have been. Probably
this is mainly due to the way In
which the search was undertaken, for
1t Is of no use to look for something
where it cannot be found, and far too
often selfish motives and an entire
disregard of the Golden Rule have
been behind this search for happi-
ness
Jesus pointed to the virtues essen
tial to blessedness or true happiness
when he gave his followers the Be-
attitudes in the Sermon on the Mount
Matthew 5:1-12). No one has ever
met with more opposition than our
Master did, and yet he was able to
say to his disciples at time when
the antagonism of the world seemed
to be most acute John 16:11),
''These things have I spoken unto
you, that my joy might remain IN
you, and that your JOY might be full"
Jesus was in no danger of losing his
Joy, because he knew 1t was born OF
God, that is, 1t had its basis in divine
Principle. That which comes from
God, good, and which is held by an
Individual as a spiritual possession.
can never be wrested from him. =.
In proportion as it is accepted that
happiness is the result of goodness
will happiness be seen to be indie
structible and permanent.
AS one holds thought constantly
throughout the busy day to the
source of all goodness, to God, who
Is Love, true happiness shines In
every deed of unsettled love, and
opens vistas of happiness which be-
fore were obscured.
Human experiences Of themselves
do not hold happiness, and they can
not bring permanent satisfaction to
humanity. As ones thought becomes

less self-centered and more eager to

q mental inventory and courageously
review the situation II we are not
manifesting the joy and happiness
which should so naturally be felt in
everyday life. In the passage quoted
we have a good measuring line with
which to find out what it is that may
be preventing our fullness of joy.
Happiness is not dependent on
money, persons, or circumstances; 1t
is born Of God. True happiness is
seeing good, feeling good, rejoicing
in good, exalting good, and using 1t
in dealing with others. Those who
are increasingly rejoicing could bring
forth nothing but joy; and how ma
tural this happiness seems to be! -.
