AN AMERICAN EDUCATOR

Horace Mann was an American
Educator. He was born in 1896 and
had a very good education. He
founded the public schools of Am
erica and deserves more than any
one else, credit for the starting of
public schools. Before Horace Mann
began his work, only boys were
sent to schoo, and then for only a
short time. But he thought that
girls as we'll as boys and poor as
we'll as rich should attend school.
To him we owe our most sincere
gratitude. He died in 1859. He also
said these words, "Be ashamed TO
die until you have won some VIC
tory for humanity.-Wilda Stubble-

FARMERS AND POLITICIANS

The politicians are not going to tell the farmers
the facts with respect to this situation. And they
are not going to do anything about 1t unless the
farmers themselves compel them to do 1t. what
they are interested in is the farmers votes. And
if the paid agents of the Washington bureaucrats
get to the farmers first, and CONVINCE them that
control" is the program to be continued the poll
tcians will be for control How little comprehen-
sion the average politician has of the real situation
is illustrated strikingy by Senator Bankheads ad-
vocacy of a policy of holding American cotton OIL
the market for better price at time when there
is 900 bales of foreign cotton for sale in the
world We have a crop of American cotton that Is
5000, 900 bales in excess of world consumption OF
American cotton last year, and yet Senator Bank
head would have American cotton sent to ware
houses to be held from consumption instead OF to
market to be used up. The present situation rep
resents a breakdown of the whole policy of price
pegging loans and restricted production, and yet
Senator Bankhead's cure for it is bigger dose of
the same medicine And his position is character
istic The politicians will continue to give the
farmers what they want" The farmers themselves,
therefore are the key to the situation And at the
moment the bureaucrats and the boys on the pay
roll have the farmers ear Unless such agencies as
the country newspapers begin to give the farmers
the facts, we are going to witness the continued
decline of the great cotton-gro~ing industry IN
the South, and especially in Texas and its ultimate
complete destruction. Now, we know that TINS pre-
diction will be ridculed by the geptiepen who
were telling US FIVE years ago that there was no
danger of any material increase in production OF
foreign cotton But the predictions they ridicuIed
then have come true, so their ridieuie doesn't
amount to much-TeXas Weekly.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
IF THAT is THE EXPLANATION

Strange rumblings are these which shake the COT
ton and stock markets in the fifth year OF Ne"
Deal which was to make such losses as nave 0'-
CURED to farmers and to investors WITHIN the iss'
few weeks, or days. passe under the reign OF
puncture- proof economy.
/ While Washington spokesman, particularly dur
ing the pre-yotng days of the 1886 campaign were
never so profuse Hooyeriap disciples VINO hao
previously promised two cars in every garage ana
chicken in every pot, there were repeated ayow-
ais that the day of stability had arrived, that de-
presSiops and all semblances thereof had been per-
manently banned. u.s..
AS for the cotton growers, the AAA was lnau-
gurated to make them self-sustaining, if it did
ALLEVIATE their foreign markets; and after its short
lived experience soil conservation and bounty pay
mentS were provided without delay. Hundreds OF
millions of dollars have been poured out and equal
ly large disbursements appear to be in the otfing
Yet cotton totters and slumps as it has not done
over considerable period.
AS for the stock exchange, were not its regula-
ton and control placed under the securities ex-
change commission, were not the big bad brokers
told where to head in, We're not the investors in
terestS and protection made of primary force and
consideration? Coupled with these purely regua-
tory steps were programs for cheapening the dol
lar, for corralling the gold for keeping interest
rates down and for assuring the availability of
credit Yet with all these reforms and precautions,
stock prices have topped and somebody-with lit
tie men generally footing the losses-has dropped
millions of dollars within mere matter of hours.
Sure, we know the answer; the slumps are due
to outside factors and forces over which Washing
ton has no control the Sino-Japanese war, piracy
in the Mediterranean and the jittery condition in
which the American citzery, no less than the peo-
ple of the world, finds itself Granting that situa
ton is the answer it comes with decidedly poor
grace from a government which breaches self-suf-
fciency, DEGREES isolation and abstains from at
tempting to work with and influence world cur

its commodities market, full on their erest.-The

MY COUNTRY, IT'S OF THEE

Young EngliShmcn go in Tor
politics seriously as a profession.
That is the outstanding reason
why England has good govern
ment.
Young Americans are taught to
look with disdain on politics as
being unfit for honest people to
engage in. That is the outstanding
reason why American politics is
notoriuosly corrupt.
1t is too bad we in America do
not have the same sound tradi-
ton about politics that exists in
England. Our politics will never
be free Of indecency and we taX-
payers will never be free of eX-
ploitation until the best class of
our people go into politics and
make it attractive to young men
and women looking for promising
and honorable careers.
American politicians shrewdly
promote the illusion that politics
is not fit for honest people; they
want to keep honest people out

Behind the Scenes in Washington
BY WILLIS THORNTON
NEA Service Staff Correspondent

THE recently-paSsed Wagner
Steagall bill guarantees that
the government will be factor in
the building and renting situation
for the next 20 years. While this
program is largely. financial, in the
form of aid-loans TO communities,
it also implies a certain amount OF
direct management, as the 5000
families occupying ReSettlement
projects can tell you.
The shipping program now be-
ing launched by the u. S. Mari
time Commission is again primar-
lily financial.aid proposition, but
here, too, the act contains a def
mite provision for government
building, ownership ard operation
Of ships if the private-aid program
fails to produce results.
The government runs a railroad
that dominates all of central
Alaska, which reports a current
annual operating deficit of only
l7,443.89, and considers that ex-
cellent because S27,l2l.8l was
spent for mining exploration,
making it really an operating pro-
fit Of S96779z, "a most satisfactory
Improvement" says the report.
The titanic work now being
done by the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority presents a typical case of
conflict between public and pri-
vate business.
When IVA recently contracted
to sell Sl,500,000 worth of electric
power year to the Aluminium
Co. at Alcoa, Tenn; and another
$750,000 worth a year to the Ar

cry against IVA from southern
utilities was redoubled They have
always claimed uriair and ruinous
competition.

"Whcrc?" Shoemaker asked.
"ln safe in New York :"
From that scrap Of CONVERSE

firc-proof box containing the SIX
films arrived in Washington.
Immediately the old films were
treated to preserve them for pos
tcrity. Then they were run off in
the projection room ut the war
college, for the benefit of the
general staff and all officers IN
tcrcSted in studying American
fighting men in action.
