EDUCATION WEEK

During next week from November to 12 tn nation observes American Education Week In tha eek special emphasis is placed upon the purposes o ducation Effort is made, and a laudable under akng it is to try and arouse more interest amon parents in the education of their chldren to en courage parents and citizens generally to visit thei schools and study the program of education whicl S being offered the rising generation.
 The recent issue of the Alaska School Bulletin gives an enlightenng interpretation of the purpose of modern education when it says:
 The report of two-year study by the Con- , mission on The Purposes of Education in American Democracy" shows how the schools can become a powerful force in democracy Revisions of the school program are recom- mended
 Democracy is viewed by the Commission as the established social policy of America; this policy is broken down and analysed from the standpoint of its meaning for education Ideals Of democracy such as the general wei fare9 civil liberties the appeal to reason and the consent of the governed" are used as the basis for a new pattern of school pro- cedure Four great purposes of education leading toward these ideals identified as being essential to the continuance of democ- racy each requiring specific emphases in the school program
 The first of these major purposes has to do with personal growth of the individual Command of the fundamental tools of learn- ing an inquiring mind, desirable health habits and suitable leisure time interests are results of the edueatve process which society - desires for everyone. Those are designated < as the obiectives of self-reaHzation
 A second major purpose concerns the prob- rl of getting along with other people. The ability to work and play With others to enjoy varied social life both within and out side the home to appreciate and observe the ideals of family life, are important goals of education These are described the ob- jectives of human relationship.
 The third major purpose relates to the earning and spending of income Infor- nation as to the requirements and opportuni- ties in various types of work, knowledge of the satsfactons Of good workmanship and of success in chosen occupation, and under standing of methods of safeguarding the buy CTS interests. all matters properly within the scope of the school program. These are classified as the obiectives of economic ef- fciency.
 The fourth major purpose is centered around participation in civic affairs. The development of respect for differences of opin- ion understanding of the processes of demo- cratic society. regard for proper of the nations resources, and appreciation of the diSparities of human circumstance well as of methods for contributing to the general welfare responsibilities which the system of public education cannot ignore. These are objectyes of civic responsibility
 A constructive program is being offered in o schools Most Of us during this Education Week c do well to better acquaint ourselves with it by visti the schools and famiiarizing ourselves with genel practice of modern teaching

In that letter he inclosed another

Rumrich said that If they could use

honesty that made her draw . tremulous breath.
 Going to grab sandwichP"
 She shook her head. Not right now" She caught her breath at the almost imperceptible way he drew back. She hurried to make an ex- plantation. If we go to the hospital | 1t will take up so much time that I'll never get all these notes finished. I'll try to get them of now so won't have the whole thing to do when we come back"
 "Oh, of course. Some other day when we aren't so busy"
 She looked up gratefully. "Yes, I'll plan on it."
 Plan? She wondered if she would ever be able to plan again. So many plans had been made these past few months only to crash around her head in 8 few, brief hours. No cloud was ever to have darkened her hap piness with Larry. Nothing was to interrupt their arrangements for the near future. Things were so certain, running so smoothly. And now-She pressed her hands against her fore head. Anything could happen. The frightful possibilities crowded around her. The trial, the agony of testimony, of questions and cross questions, the alibis, the fight for release, the fight for conviction, the stories in the papers, and then the verdict. If guilty, weeks, even months in prison. If not guilty-she wondered wearily what would be worse.
 If not guilty in the eyes of the law, there would always be the knowledge in her own heart of Larry's explanations, his remarks these past few days with their hid den meanings, the lies and irnplica- tionS.
 And yet he needed her; needed her as he never had before. Wasn't that what real love was for? To strengthen one when real crisis arose? It must have been fear that made him build up this defense. Horror and animal instinct, not the desire to deliberately beat the law. Surely he wouldn't have done that. She must believe he hadn't meant to do that.
 She rode to the hospital with the judge and Tom. The afternoons work was more routine to them, and for that reason they talked of other things. Of the opening of the base ball season, of golf scores, and the primaries.
 "You'll get it for prosecutor, my boy" the judge told Tom. And Butler will step out of that office when he wins for attorney general. We'll be sorry to lose you, even though you've been with us only a short time. But you'll start climb ing. knew your uncle: a fine law yer. The city needs more of that old school type"
 Tom laughed with a pleased em- barrassment. You'll have Miss Mo- Graw thinking I'm a civic leader" he said, turning to bring her into the conversation. T only wish could be sure of having as good a secretary as she would make"

 SCARCELY had young Winfield
 Scott, just turned 22, launched himself in business in Charleston, S. C., in 1907, when war loomed imminent between United States and England. So Scott hurried of to Washington, offered his services, and was commissioned captain of artillery. He was to know little else but battle there. after for the rest of his life.
 In 1912 Scott was sent to the Niagara frontier, where he was captured at Queenston. He was exchanged the next year and pro- noted to colonel, then brigadier general, and in July, 1914, re. ceived the brevet of major gen. eral. He was twice wounded in the battles of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane, for which Con- gress gave him a gold medal and the state of Virginia a sword.
 But by now Scott's fiery career had only begun. From 1915 to 1861 he plunged into a series of difficult and dangerous assign- ments for his country, making treaties with western Indians af. ter the Black Hawk war, fighting the Seminoles in Florida, remov- ing the Cherokees, adjusting bor. der disputes in Maine, at Niagara, and in Puget Sound. During 20 years of this period he was com. manding general of the United States army.
 As such he achieved his great est triumph in the Mexican cam. paign of l847, capturing Vera Cruz and finally the Mexican capital itself. So again Congress struck of Q gold medal for the general, and in 1852 the Whigs nominated him for president. But he car. ried only four states. He died at West Point in 1866.
