 Decoration or Memorial Day is not especially a day for those who fought in the to honor the memory of those who did not come back. Rather 1t should be day that all Americans whether they ac- tually the uniform not should mark It is appropriate that the veterans should sponsor such celebrations, but it certainly is not fitting that a small group of war veterans should carry ob- servance with few men in uniform while civilians. who played equally important part at home in defense of country should go fishing and ignore the day entirely.

But it is not impressive sight to a couple of squads of veterans paying homages to those who west" while the rest of the popuace entirely ignores the occasion.

Why They Burn Books
Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 In the May issue of Interna tional Conciliati tion, organ of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace there is article by Sir Herbert Samuel One paragraph sticks in our mind. Sir Herbert says
 "A mixture of misery and education is highly ex- posive. If people ignorant well as wretched, they likely to be apahetic if they become tur- bulent they will certainly be ineffective But pro letarat that suffers and has measure of educa tion which believes it knows of some possible way ot escape, may be formidable"
 If teaching class in the history of the Western World since the end of the Roman Empire, that paragraph would make effective starting point It explains the futity that marks the inter- mittent peasant uprsings of the Middle Ages the at tempt to keep learning the property of the few the close alliance that has existed in every era between those who would keep the people in ignorance and those who would keep the people in c1ains.
 From this point of view the invention of the print ing press, which made books and newspapers inexpen- sive and within reach of the people, is the dividing line that marks the beginning of the modern era It is significant that Fascism in Germany should have celebrated it's victory by the Burning of the Books.
