Our
Town
By
ANTON sCHERRER

ID BARBARA HAWORTH, who
- works alongside Luther Dicker-
son in the Library, has called our
attention to pages 81 and So of Olga
Samaroff Stokowski's 1.-THE Lay
mans Music Book" in the course OF
which it is related that out of 10000
children who had studied music in
a New York settlement house mot
one had ever been brought before a
Juvenile Court for delinquency"
If this is Miss Haworth's sly way
of getting at us, let us add paren-
thetically that we, too. have en-
joyed a musical education even if
it isn't as evident as we should like
| it to be.
The Samaroff book goes on to
fortify It's thesis with exhibits from
prisons all over the country and
they al go to prove that "there
were no Tnen or women Tin any of
them who had had any form of
musical education previous to the
time they committed the crimes for
which they were imprisoned"
OUCH congratulations, we don't
~ mind saying, scare us. They
scare us because of the reciprocal
threats. contained therein. First
thing we know, our musicians will
have us believe that man is At
subject for a penitentiary because
he doesn't happen to like music and
they'll cite Madame Samaroff's book
to prove it.
Anyhow, we have worried enough
about the matter because ever since
reading the book Miss Haworth so
kindly sent us we have been won
dering how Charles Lamb, Arthur
Stanley and DR.. Gaisford, to name
a few, ever managed to stay out of
Jail. Especially, Dean Stanley. Not
only did he dislike music, he hated
it. 1t made him sick, he said, and
it complicated his relations with
Jenny Lind.
Stanley was very fond Of Jenny
Lind, but when she stayed at his
fathers palace at Norwich he al.
ways left the room when she sang.
One evening Jennie Lind had been
singing Handel's 81 Know That NV
Redeemer Liveth." Stanley as usual
had left the room, but he came back
after the music was over and went
shyly UP to her.
You know" he said, II hate mu-
sic, but tonight when from a dis
lance I heard you singing I had an
inkling of what people mean by mu-
sic"
A ND then he went on to explain:
: = Some years ago." he said, st
was at Vienna and one evening
there was tattoo before the palace
performed by 400 drummers. I felt
shaken, and tonight while listening
to your singing the same feeling
came over me; I felt deeply moved"
All of which is contained in
very delightful book (page $50
yclept AUD Lang Syne" and writ
ten way back in 1893 by the Rt.
Hon. Prof. F. Max Mueller of OK
ford-the same Mueller, by the way.
whose father gave Schubert the
words for the "Schoene Muellerin. /"
Mueller's book is every bit as nice
as Madame Samaroff's. It's even
nicer because it accepts musicians
as they are without trying to ex-
plain why they stay out of Jail,
We should like to call Miss Ha-
Worth's attention to it. It's the least
we can do in return for her cour-
tesy.

SIDES WITH ROOSEVELT
AGAINST CLAPPER

BY H. C. A.
It is saddening, indeed, to dis
cover that writer's, who are paid
good money to enlighten the public
in current affairs, possess such linn
tied thinking ability as that which
Raymond Clapper displays in his
column in The Times on April 81.
He is criticising President Roose-
velt's views on economics, as ex-
pressed in the latter's New York
speech.
The President said that "reduc.
ton of costs of manufacturing does
not mean more purchasing power
and more goods consumed, but the
opposite"
Mr.. Clapper, belonging to an an
tiquated school of economics, takes
exception to this point, and remarks

CIRCUS ON SUNDAY DRAWS
OBJECTION OF MOTHER
By a Mother

By Mother
A circus on Sunday! Is it not
enough that the picture shows are
open on Sunday and that we have
Sunday baseball? Now a circus!
What next? Mothers who try to
rear their children in the right way
and teach them that Sunday is the
Lords Day and that they should be
in church certainly do have hard
path to travel.
Who gave permission for a circus
to perform on Sunday? Where are
their minds and hearts?
Can they truthfully say they are
Christian? What a reputation for
indianapolis. Why talk OF keeping
down crime when they encourage
everything that hinders the right
life?
If the leaders would set an ex-
ample of right living and oheying
the wishes of God, the people would
follow. If God sends cyclone that
day I suppose they'd say it was an
accident. I certainly hope that
something happens to wake our
leaders and they change the date of
the circus.

Profit in Woodland if
@ Only BIG Trees Are Cut

ri t5Et+E=sEss - 4H+E +E8tZ
There IS q great deal more profit
In lumber from farm woodlands
when only the large, mature trees
are cut and the small trees left to
grow into another crop. The United
States Forest Service has found that
maple trees less than IL to "a inches
in diameter actually do not pay
their way through a band saw1mill.
There is about 10 times as much
lumber in a tree Is inches in diam
eter as in q 9-inch tree. But since
the lumber in the larger tree IS
worth about twice as much per foot,
the total value is SO times as great.
Selective cutting removes the
greatest value with the least vol
ume. It leaves small trees as q
windbreak and allows them to grow
faster because they no longer need
to compete with big trees for mois-
ture, sunlight, and space to spread
their crowns. A farmer in doubt as
to how to cut his woodland for lum-
Der is advised to get in touch with
. state forester, his state college Of
agriculture, or his county agricul-
tural agent.

Feeding Grain Mixture

+. The amount Of grain mixture fed
to cows when on pasture depends.
to q great extent, upon the individ-
!ual production, but where q COW Is
producing more than II pounds Of
milk q day, one pound Of grain for
each five to seven pounds Of milk
produced will be sufficient, accord
ing to an authority at the North Car
DINA State college. This amount,
in addition to the pasturage will
usually maintain the animal in good
flesh and permit maximum milk
production. An average cow eats
enough grass in q day to maintain
her body and produce about two
gallons Of milk. II she is capable Of
producing more milk, the grass
must be supplemented with the
grain mixture in such quantity as
to secure the maximum production.

Leaders in the convention expressed
the opinion that no mere enumeration
of specific powers was sufficient 20
cover the requirements of the union.
In keeping with this conception the
necessary and proper clause and the
general welfare clause were incorpof
ated in the Constitution. Hamilton
and George Washington utterly des-
troyed the pinch-back legalistic theory
of the Constitution and placed inter-
probation on broad grounds of public
policy where it belongs. The great task
is to rescue the Constitution from the
lawyers and restore it to craftsmanship
of the kind that produced it and alone
can preserve it,"
Sharp issue with "dog-in- the-man-
ger" judges was taken by Prof. G. C..
Haines of California who said, "The
courts by refusing to permit any gov
eminent to regulate large areas of in
dustrial and social life create a mo-
mans land or Sphere of anarchy in
which large corporations and monop-
olies can roam undisturbed" and Prof.
Charles Fairman of Williams pointed
out: "It appears there may be field
of business which is off-limits to both
national and state government" The
remedy, he felt, lies in a more intelli-
gent Interpretation and application of
existing constitutional powers.
Prof. Haines went on to say, "We
are brought face to face with the real
challenge to American statesmen Of
the twentieth century, namely, wheth-
er we shall take steps to overcome the
extreme rigidity of constitutional law
which hampers, as Lord Birkenhead
expressed it, the free action of a free

OF Lincoln and Washington furnish a
striking illustration of successful eff
fort in overcoming the influence of
environment. Lincoln was forced con-
stantly to fight poverty with all it's
handicaps and disadvantages. In
spite of this he developed mental
poise and a convincing personality
which was brilliantly demonstrated in
his masterful debate with the illustrious
Douglas. A biographer writes "he was
born as lowly as the Son of God"
True. But there was also bequeathed
to him certain powers which enabled
him to master rather than succumb to
his surroundings. The railsplitter
truly became "a true-born kin Of
men," Washington with IAN environ
ment as superior as Lincoln's was in
ferior, refused to be mastered either
by it's alluremenr or it's proffered life
of ease. When the country's call came
to him he left his luxurious home on the
beautiful Potomac and through service
both as general and President, earned
the title of "Father Of his Country" His
environment which offered life Of
ease did not master him any more
than did his poverty master the
Emancipation.
The power which enables any per-
! son to overcome the temptations and
disadvantages Of his environment Is
| from within and not from without.
| Poverty and the loss Of influence never
justifies crime or self-destrucrion. The
| possession of wealth and cultural adj
| vantages offers no excuse for indulgence
| or calloused attitude toward human
need. The forces Of heredity are al
/ ways stronger than those Of environ
| ment. This fact is splendidly illustrat-
| ed in the careers Of both Lincoln and
| Washington.

THE YOUTH PROBLEM

What is the greatest responsibility of the
ton today?
There may be any number of answers to this
question, depending upon person s own convic-
lions, but believe that DR.. Fred j. Kelly, chief
of the division of higher education of the federal
office of education, asserting that the teachers
greatest responsibility was the modifying of the
public to do something for unoccupied and I'M
employed YOUTH outlined one of the greatest.
DR.. Kelly made this remark at recent con-
vention of 1000 teachers in the state of Oregon.
Nor was he the only speaker to stress this matter
1t appeared in nearly every address,
Some time ago, the national youth administra-
ton Sc, out to find work for the nearly 100000
young people who unemployed, the majority
OF these being between the ages OF 10 and "a. But
the administration was brought to halt by the
discovery that there were no enough jobs to serve
even the men with families. Nor was the posi-
billty OF developing apprenticeship in trades
feasible, for in some trades high go per cent
OF the qualified operators unemployed
Exactly the situation that brought about over
throw of democracy in European countries is con-
fronting the United States in this tremen-
dous youth problem, DR.. Kelly told the teachers,
and other speakers added that education that will
instill in the student of today insight to grapple
with the nations problem is essential if democ-
racy is to prevail in the United States.
The fact that this situation exists today must
Indicate some shortcoming in the educational sys-
tenn of the past, and it is perhaps the truth that
until now education has been considerd to con-
sist of nothing but formal education: education
which began at certain age and ended at GER
tain age; education which went but short dis
lance in preparing the youth of the nation for the
problems of life
In pointing to the overthrow of democracy in
European countries DR.. Kelly was no doubt
mindful Of the factors which led to the present
situation in Germany. Following the war; that
nation also faced with youth problem. Upon
leaving school, the young people found every
nue. closed; civil service, professional and indus
trial positions were all held by certain class, and
there was nothing for them but idleness The
world knows the result of this situation. And the
same has happened in other nations in which the
youth were refused their just claims to self re-
spect.
The problem in America is grave one Indus
try offers solution at the present time. Placing
these young people back in school is but tenn
porary relief and will in time aggravate the diff
Guilty. Spiritual insight is required in finding the
surely right way. This nation needs it's youth
it cannot move forward without their help
