AMERICAS RISING SUN

The problem that has baffled our best
statesmen and government experts--the
seemingly incurable illness of our nation
has, at least, become soluble. 1t has
come to US for solution.
Legislation, the eternal salvation, has
failed. The efforts of relief in various
ways have been futile. Philanthropists
and psychologists, with their various
theories have only predicted, and usu-
ally, in vain. Leaders have risen and
fallen, but without the accomplishment
of the answer to our country's general
dilemma When the miracle is wrought
that will once more throw light and
wisdom on our puzzled populace, it will
be, not through the efforts of our lead
ers, philanthropists, cts, but through
Che education furnished by our public
schools to Mr.. and Mrs. Future American
Citizen.

of the answer to our countryS generai
dilemma. When the miracle is wrought
that will once more throw light and
wisdom on our puzzled populace, it will
be, not through the efforts of our lead
ers, philanthropists, cts, but through
che education furnished by our public
schools to Mr.. and Mrs. Future American
Citizen.
In the ever-ncreasing practicability of
the high school and college, boys and
girls will be taught to accept their re-
sponsbilities and make the most of their
numerous and ever-growing opportuni-
ties. They will not be mere vendors of
information around the business world
but truly intelligent businessmen with
technical, practical knowledge of their
Jobs and professions and sensible ap-
plicability. The finished product Of vo-
cational, modernized, and civilian edu-
cation will be the well-rounded citizen
of tomorrow. His theories of business
will be practical and full, his knowledge
of governmental policies only exceeded
by his common-sense methods of con-
ducting himself in his own state.

others who have received the same val
liable training, be sociable, rather than
ndvidualistic--ever ready to join with
others for the accomplishment of COM
mon purpose and immovable in his 10y
atty to his co-workers even though it
sometimes be at the sacrifice of person
al gain.
That citizen, Mr. and Mrs. America of
the Future, will develop latent ca
pacity for leadership and will become
an aggressive. capable leader, serving in
a place which will be sorely needed in
the future, as it is now.
The foremost quality of this model
citizen of the coming years will be his
training in the correct work habits and
his unabashed attitude toward work,
hard work.
Who can make then for better citi-
zens--who will have the responsibility Of
seeing that these students of today take
every opportunity that is offered them
and make the most of them. The stu
dents themselves-yes, they must work.
They must use every available advantage
and every minute of concentrated time
upon their welfare to do their duty by
this grand old nation to make it stable
and peachable. But they must have the
cooperation of their teachers, their
parents, and their fellow townsmen.
Most of their talents will be developed
by these three.
However, more important than the
continued pushing of the scholar will
be the interest, encouragement and CO.
operation of the parents, townsmen, and
civic organizations with the teachers of
the public schools. Though their work
seems comparatively easy and humdrum
to the outsider looking in, it is the
teacher who is responsible for the fin
ished product, and it is he who sweats
over the sometimes irresponsible and
sulky attitude of the pupil who can do
but won't.
1t is the present job of the citizen of
today to stand by the educator, the
master of our future citizens in their
formative years, and see that our youth
is taught how to live, how to make a
living, and how to enjoy their lives.
When that job is done, then and only
then, will the solution of our problem

Oil Industry Wage
Data Is Presented
To Monopoly Probe
High Labor Standards
Due to Attitude of
Companies, Says Witnes!
Sy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
H. H. Anderson of st. Louis, a
vice president of the Shell Oil Co..
testified before the Federal Monop-
oily Committee yesterday that high
labor standards" of the petroleum
industry were due to longtime
friendly policy of major oil COM
panies toward their employees.
The witness, who testified on be-
half of the American Petroleum
Institute, supported his contention
with charts showing weekly earn
ings of workers had increased while
hours of work had decreased.
Isadore Lubin, commissioner of
labor statistics, broke in to OBJ
serve that the industry had oper-
ated on an average week of SIS
hours in 1929, compared with the
present average of So hours.
Both to Be Congratulated.
"I don't think that SIS hours a
week is very high labor plane" p"
Mr.. Lubin remarked. He then
asked Mr. Anderson what he
thought was responsible for the
shorter hours and increased pay of
recent years.
Il think part of it resulted from
President Hoover's share -the-Work
and part to the N. r. A. Codes" the
witness replied.
I'm not saying that the oil in
dustry is not to be congratulated,
but I'm saying that the unions also
are to be congratulated" Mr.. Lubin
observed.
Mr.. Anderson testified that in the
refining branch of the petroleum
industry only about 1876 per cent OF
workers were covered by c. I. o.
agreements and about 6.1 per cent
by A. F. l.. agreements.
At the same time, he said, "inde-
pendent unions represented about
So per cent of these petroleum
workers"
while we've always had the
friendliest relations with the C. I. o.
and A. F.. L., we haven't conceded
them the sole right to be consid-
cred unions in the legal sense" he
said
Gained Wrong Impression.
Mr.. Anderson said the Monopoly
Committee had gained the wrong
impression about major oil COM
panies turning over filling stations
they formerly owned and operated
to former employees under leasing
agreements.
only about $4,000 service stations
were shifted from 1885 to 1885," he
said. This is out of a total of more
than 100000 retail gasoline outlets. -
The witness testified that service
station employees earned an average
weekly wage of S2664 for 4S hours
last wear, compared with s24.35 for
81 hours in 1888.

Will Rise Again

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-Former
President Herbert Hoover believes
Poland will rise again.
"Oppression," he told 10000 Po-
hsh-Americans last night, lis one of
those forces which regenerates the
oppressed and destroys the oppres-
sor.
mo matter what may be signed
on papers called peace, there can be
no permanent stability and no per-
manent peace to either Germany or
Russia so long as oppression of a
great and independent race con-
tinues."
Count jerry Potocki, Polish AM
bassador to the United States, re-
ferred to Casimir Pulaski, the Polish
hero who played leading part in
the American war of independence,
and said the spirit that actuated
Pulaski would triumph again in the
new struggle for the liberation Of
Poland.
