You and Your
Nations Affairs
Reform at Any Cost
By HARLEY L. LUTZ
Professor of Public Finance, Princeton University

Being tireless in good works himself,
lie too often assumes that others never
tire of them either For the pas: four
and a half years we have been SUBJ
jected % continuous process OF be-
ing saved from something or other.
There has always been crisis OF some
sort at hand, and it has always been
major crisis, never a half-portion.
This continuous fortiSsimo emphasis
gets rather wearing. in time. 1t has,
in fact, worn Us all out. whether we
realize it or not. We do not respond
now as we once did when we receive
solemn assurance that some other
dreadful calamity is at hand, to be
averted only by passing another law.
We are jaded. fed up with impending
crises. fed up with the tense emotional
strain that is produced b. so much
talk, so many warnings. such fertility
in producing a ready-made crisis.
cut to fit the specifications of some
particular reform plank in the pro-
gram.
It would be a welcome change II
some one in authority were to admit
that we are doing reasonably well
and that we car afford to relax for a
time and take it easy. There has been
so much blood and thunder" in our
recent political and labor and other
ructions that we need to get away
from it all and have GOOD laugh.
Just now it is difficult to imagine
more appealing campaign slogan than
Take it easy"
The professional reformers who
take themselves so seriously do not
seem to realize that the human ma
chine cannot long function at high
pressure without an explosion. It Is
this perpetu-l high pressure. whether
in business or in saving someone from
something. that runs blood presSureS
up and snaps arterial walls. AS man
is made, he must relax occasionally,
not only physically but spiritually
and emotionally. The .ellow who gets
the notion that all will go to pot If
he stops is usually among the first to
be in that state in which he is quite
indifferent to the nice things being
said about him. We shall all live
longer, have more fun, accomplish
just as much, and escape as many
crises, IL we learn to stop now and
then and take it easy. than will be the
case if we continue this high pressure,
professionalism, political rescue

TEACHING TOO CONSERVATIVE

Schools all over the United States are
about to open again after the summer va
cation period. In the vast majority of
cases the subjects that will be taught the
pupils will be the same as heretofore.
Everybody who thinks knows that
vast progress has been made in many lines
of thought, and the slowness with which
the public school courses respond to these
advances is remarkable. Do not misun-
derstand our remarks We are not adj
vocating any particular subject for incor-
poration IN the schools. but merely calling
attention to what we consider undue con-
servatism i'm teaching.
The reason for our views is in the
hope that our readers will encourage and
support the school authorities whenever
they make changes for what they conceive
to be the best interests of the schools. No
matter is more important than the welfare
of our public school system, and the peo-
pie of every section should be vitality in
tereSted. always, in the progressive steps
taken in the interest of education.

For the first time in history. the Agri-
cultural department reports that the United
States is importing more pork than is ex-
ported. That is the result of New Deal
killing of narrowing sows. We have also
imported more than exported wheat. due
to that silly notion of underplowing or not
planting any wheat at ALL We can imagine
other nations chcuekling at our nonsense
and hoping Il viii continue to their deefdef
advantage.

DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just 10 Years
Ago Today As Taken From
The Files of The Citizen

With the last vacancies in the
faculties of the schools of Mon
roe county filled today and every
prospect that the interior of the
new high school annex will be
ready for use when schools open
a week from Monday, things are
shaping up for the new school
year. The cafeteria which Is to
be operated at the high school
during the coming school year
will not be opened for upwards of
one month after school begins, 1t
is said, for the reason that it will
not be equipped for operating for
about one month. 1t will be
operated, it is expected, by some
woman employed by the school
board, instead of the domestic
science teachers take charge as
was first intended. The annex
in which the cafeteria is to be
operated will not be in readiness
until next November, Superin-
tendent Russell says, but the in
terror will be in shape to be used
by the time school opens.
