CONSIDERING THE TREND
IN TION

At Stanford University this week
school administrators and teachers from
all over the country will consider educa-
tion's greatest controversy, TRADITIONAL
versus modern" classroom methods. If
their findings are to be put into effect in
the schools of the country, we hope for
the future welfare of the country that
they consider at least few major points
along a practical line.
There can be no doubt that many of
the so-called modern methods of class
room instruction so far Outstrip the old
methods that there is no comparison.
Where the classroom gives the child
actual experience, as in woodshops and
economic and governmental studies, the
child is given instruction that will go
far to make him better citizen.
At the same time, the plea for some
actual instruction along the old lines is
becoming something more than voice
calling in the wilderness. Too many
children are leaving our schools today
without the ability to spell, to write a
consecutive sentence or to multiply, add
and subtract Somehow or other, the
world in which these children will at
tempt to earn their living still demands
these basic abilities. Woe to the children
if they don't learn how TO write decent
letter-and if they haven't mathematical
ability enough to figure the percentage
on their income tax, the chances are they
will never have one to pay.
1t is inevitable that our classrooms
will swing more and more to modern
methods-but why should we allow the
best in the modern methods to do away
with the best in the old ones? The per-
feet claSsrooms, it seems to us, will be
the one in which the child learns the
things he will need to know in the best
way.

ONE STRIKE NOBODY
SHOULD TRY TO END

The New Deal has added considerably
to the language with new alphabetical
combinations and even with new words,
but it was left for the foundlings of
New Deal agency, the WPA, to put new
definition on the word, strike.
In San Francisco, former WPA work
ers are picketing WPA headquarters.
They say they are striking. In the old
DAYS. now, we thought that a strike
meant the walkout of persons actually
working in a place 1t meant that the
laborers, because of some fancied or real
grievance, retaliated by shutting down
the factory or other business where they
were employed. Not so, these days.
The WPA workers in San Francisco
are striking" because they were dis
missed from sinecure jobs on the relief
rolls. There was an order from head
quarters, it seems, which mentioned
something about relief costing altogether
too much money. In the background, one
suspects. was a mounting government
deficit which breathed rumors of tot
tering financial structure.
1t will be interesting if the WPA
strikers" actually do close down the
WPA projects on which they were en-
ployed before their dismissal. In this
day of economic spectacles, we will be
treated to the unique spectacle of former
relief recipients shutting off relief to
their erstwhile fellows, all because the
government decided to try to stop spend
ing too much money.
Somehow or other, we have not yet got
used to the idea of relief clients 1--WE used
to call them charity cases) striking be
cause the charity given them is too small.
Our tottering understanding is now
treated to the even stranger idea OF
charity recipients going on strike be-
cause the charity has been shut off.
Of course, they say there is no work
but to anyone in Imperial county that
argument does not even need rebuttal.

Can't Hustle America Into One-Man Rule

One of the encouraging things
about our republic is the way it has
of smacking a man down just when
he begins to think he knows all the
answers.
You could dig enough illustra-
tions out of the history books to
fill a column, but a few recent
ones will suffice. The most strik-
ing case is that of Woodrow Wilson
Mr.. Wilson was probably the
most powerful leader in all the
world on Nov.1l, 1918. Indeed, he
could be called one of the three
or four most powerful leaders in
all history. He had settled the
greatest war of all time; he alone,
among all the allied statesmen,
seemed to have plan for bring
ing the hopes of war-sick world
to realization. For a little while ne
held the whole world in his hand.
But the cheers had not died away
before Mr.. Wilson collided head
on with the ancient, invincible re-
luctance of the American people
to be hustled. And the first thing
anyone knew he was tragically re-
buffed and thwarted man, his high
hopes and grandiose plans wrecked
by the simple fact that the re-
public had got tired of seeing one
man lay down the law to it.
On smaller scale you could re-
peat the parallel with Franklin D.
Roosevelt Last fall Mr.. Roosevelt
won landslide election as nc
president before had ever won one

majority which made all former
ma iorities look insignificant. /
ever there was a president whit
could be pardoned for supposin'
that his word was all-powerful, MI
Roosevelt was the man.
And so what? So the first majo
program he handed to the Congress
the plan for revising the Suprem
Court-was riddled with hoStil
bullets and finally was rejected b.
Senate committee in a report a
biting and critical as any in tn
annals of that historic house. An

what Mr.. Wilson had learned-tha
the American people will tax
nothing from anyone unless, upo
talking it over, they decide tina
they happen to like it.

News Behind the News
All Fixed for NeW Chairman And
a Pain for Wall Street . Inflicted by
the Man in the White House -.

WASHINGTON-It has all been fixed now
so that Securities Exchange Commissioner VII
liam o. Douglas will succeed James M bahdls
as chairman of the commission
The man responsible for this is the man III
the White House and if the heavy Wall street
opposition to the appointment may pe taken u
indicate how Wall Street will feel about the news,
that famous financial community is going to sui
fer acute pain.
1t has been a fairly open secret that Douglas
feels that financial promoters and other men
having to do with securities in one way ana an
other have had too easy time under the LafiolS
regime His worst crime, in wall street eyes,
has been his criticism of the way bankers nave
exerted their power over corporation manage
ment industrial policies, reorganllatlon anu otllei
business processes.
Lands and certain financial groups have
promoted appointment of Commissioner George
G. Matthews as chairman. Large contributors
to the Democratic campaign fund came from
New York to argue against Douglas.
Douglas is experienced in the fields OF Securl-
ties and corporation law and was law pro1es-
sor at Yale. His big job with the commission
thus far has been the investigation OF corporate
reorganizations and the operations OF so-called
protective committees
Perhaps the least surprising thing in the
world is the fact that applications OF Spanish
citizens for emigration to the United States nave
increased tremendously in number.
immigration quota for Spain is slightly over
1900 and there is a waiting list of $4,000. This
represents an increase Oh SUu per CeHt lhe
year. 80
The figures are revealed in connection with
the efforts of American organizations to bring
over 500 or more homeless Basque children from
the stricken Bilbao area. Thousands of these
children have been taken to France and England.
The state and labor departments have oeen
passing the buck to each other on the question
whether the children should be given asylum, and
Secretary Perkins has appeared to be especially
unfavorable to the idea. Catholic groups have
been bringing pressure both departments
against the proposal.
John L. Lewis and Tom Girder of the Re-
public Steel Company almost Travelled from
Cleveland to Washington within the narrow
confines of the same passenger plane.
After Cleveland strike mediation conferences
both men went to the airport TO fly to Washing
ton They didn't discover until the plane was
about to take off that they were to be fellow
passengers.
Lewis continued on schedule. Ciirder can
celed his reservations and waited for the next
plane.
Grdler is boiled but particular. Once
he refused to attend large dinner because James
Roosevelt, the Presidents son, going to be
there.
After it's organization the rural eectrifCa-
ton administration began publishing magazine
full of news about its activities, distributing all
copies free.
A while ago it was decided TO put the maya
zine on a paying basis, and all recipients were
warned that in the future they must pay 10
