BROADER HORIZONS

The philosophers say people need
broader horizons. The young folks
often say they would like one broad
enough and far enough away from
home so Pa and Ma can't watch ev-
erything they do.
The broader horizon is a wider in
terest in life with less though of
petty interests. You don't have to
60 away from home TO find it. Many
leople living in great cities have
very narrow horizons. consisting
cnly of the little sporting world in
which they move. Meanwhile there
are plenty of folks along the back
roads of Delaware who have broad
horizons. They read newspapers and
magazines, and they know what is
going on all over the world. The
broad horizon depends more on what
you read than where you live.

THE TNDER DOGo

The so-called under dog" used TO
be considered as a neglected and
forgotten creature who got all the
hard knocks of life. and for whom
few people did anything. Today so
many people have had TO take hard
knocks and undergo real suffering,
that the number who feel they are
under dogs" is large. and they are
o powerful influence in the land.
What should be done for the peO-
lie who have had hard luck. or are
somehow not able TO earn decent
living? The first essential is evil
IDENTIFY to find work for them.
The Bible story of the Garden OF
Eden tells how Adam was told that
In the sweat of thy face shall thou
tear bread" The under dog OF today
asks how he can eat bread through
the sweat of his face. when no one
will give him any work. That is the
tragic situation of modern life for
riany. The basic problems of the
country are not solved until all will
ing workers can find job.

Milford, Friday, Aprll 90, 1910
HIGH SCHOOL FOR ALI

Should all young people attend
schools Of high school grade? Or
should this privilege be reserved for
smaller number, with the idea
that the majority will go to work at
an earlier date? This is a question
that has been widely discussed by
educators during recent times, par
ticularly i'm meetings conducted by
the National Education Association
There was a time years ago when
the great majority of children never
went beyond the grammar grades.
Then gradually people became con-
v,nced of the value of education. A
greatly increased number went on
into high schools, and large part
Of them graduated When the de-
preston came on in 1929, many boys
end girls kept on in schools because
they could not find jobs. AS pros
perity returns. is it desirable for
all of them 10 keep on until they can
tuck a high school diploma in their
pockets?
The answer to that seems to be as
to whether children are good stu
dents or not. If they cant pass the
tests and can't understand the sub
iects taught. it does not seem to do
any great good to pass them along.
Some of these young people are ex-
celIent workers with their hands.
they can see what is the trouble
with the wabbling car, they can do
the little jobs of tinkering needed in
the home. But il you ask them to
tackle French or algebra. they don't
krow where they are at. Such young
people would better get job if they
possibly can.
Many cities have trade schools
where young people can cultivate
this mechanical ability and the tasks
of domestic life. Such course
should turn an unframed worker
into a skilled mechanic, and give
him a surer hold OH any job that he
has.
Perhaps the first essential of any
form of education is to learn TO do
good work That habit can be ac-
G;ured in shops or business places
by those who do not take naturally
tc book learning

WIRD1 FieHTING

At last Germany and England and
France are engaged in a death strug-
gle. and have been fighting on the
sea with a ferocity not exceeded in
the World War. The British naval
nlen are doing fine job.
The British navy can hardly be
cxcelled for skill and heroism, but il
would seem that the British had not
learned to act with the same speed
with which the Germans go ahead
in their blitzkrfeg war. The Nazis
succeeded in about one day in lands
ing a large army in Norway. Their
plans operated like clock work, as
they seized important munitiOn CEN
ters, airports, and radio stations.
On paper they had everything in
line for a quick subjugatiOn Of the
country.
Where they seemed to fail was in
Understanding what the British
fleet could do. 1t is not sufficient for
those too smart Germans to land an
army in a foreign land. They also
have to keep a steady stream Of food
and weapons of war rolling toward
that army. The preparations for do
ing this safely seem to have been
somewhat at fault.
Fears have been expressed that the
Germans. having conquered Den
m.ark, may lay claim to Iceland and
Greenland, which were under Danish
sovereignty. Greenland is reckoned
as a part of the American continent.
The United States would not sit
down and see this land of snow be-
come a possible air base for attack
en- the United States, but that ap-
pears remote possibility.
Mr.. Hitler is a man who cant
wait He is a powerful and astute
thinker, but he seems to act on
lunches. and often finds thinking
too slow for his impatient nature.
Probably he has acted too hastily in
Invading Norway. When Hitler lost
seven destroyers in one day at Mar
vik, it began to look as il he had
teen too smart for his own good.

THE OLD HOME BTRG

Someone remarked recently that
hc hated to go back to the old home
town where he lived as a boy. He
said that he knew few people there
row. As many whom he had known
there had died or moved away. the
llace would not seem natural to him.
lie would feel like ghost coming
back to that old town. and would see
too many ghosts there.
1t is a natural feeling, but one
hopes that the people who formerly
lived in Milford do not have just
those sentiments. A visit TO their
Id home here should not merely
Ering thoughts of sadness, but also
those of pleasure and thankfulness
If they got start in life here in
these schools. churches, and bust
ness places, they should feel CRATE
PfdI fOr what they learned here. The
memory of those old scenes and
people should be sweet to them.
They should wish TO look at the
scenes where they once played and
studied and worked.
People who lived here in youth
should feel grateful for all they
learned from teachers and ministers
and Sunday school workers who
helped them get education and in
spring views of life. and who filled
them with ambition to go out in the
world and do worthy things.
Those who came here after youth
and lived awhile here and have gone
elsewhere. have more friends here
than they realize. They are missed,
and many would like to see thent
again, and learn how the world has
treated them.
Let us hope that all the folks who
once lived in Milford still have an
affection for this home of former
days. They should come back from
time to time and see how the place
has grown and what has become of
old friends. They will get the heart
lest kind of welcome.

THE FIsHERMAN,S LESSON

The man who goes fishing may not
seem to the public to employ his
tine in any very productive way.
His wife may feel that the strings
Of fish he brings home are usually
of negligible value as food supply.
But the fisherman gets something
besides the fish. II he is fairly
successful fisherman, he has prob
ably learned patience. He has dis
covered that it takes a quiet and
philosophical mind. II he breezes
and blows around making plenty of
noise and disturbance, he is not
likely to get many bites.
Now if he can carry that self
control and patience and philosophy
into daily life, it will give him a
habit .af perseverance which is Of
high value. r sse ~

Il is quite common to meet peo-
pie nov who used to have plenty Of
money but who have lost II in the
financial troubles of recent years.
~ is a pretty tough experience to
lose q position OF abundance. and
come down 70 small economies and
perhaps not be able to support one
self.
The people who never had money
get used To these economies, and to
cutting all sorts Of corners. But
people who never used to worry
about spending find it is very diff
cult to get along without the COM
forts and luxuries they once had.
They find that they can't do the
things their former associates are
accustomed to enjoy. So perhaps
they have to retire into unfamiliar
circles, and deny themselves many
pleasures to which they were accus-
toned.
People who have gone through
this experience usually meet it with
a very fine philosophy. Many women
who formerly never had to think
about money. have had to consider
ways Of supporting themselves, per-
haps learning some tOilsOme Occu-
patton. and they have to go out from
a sheltered life to battle with the
world.

Propaganda

The serious complications in the
European war not only have aroused
profound interest throughout the
nation. but there is feverish excite
ment in the Capitol and speculation
over future events. Hysteria is ram
pant; emotions run amuck; pro-
ally sympathizers want the United
States to give assistance. but TO
send over no troops. Cooler heads
advocate avoidance of acts ultimate
ly involving us ON another conti-
nent. while every sane American
senses the need of preparedness. for

shores. The destiny Of our country
is contingent upon the solution OF

come the following news items rel
ative to the week:
British and French representa-
tives who came to the u. 5. to smooth
out trade difficulties and to take
soundings on possible loans are go
ing away empty-handed. British
French officials have a hard time

struction of additional new units

two branches of Congress split the
difference to $144,500,000.
Back of Mr.. RooseveIt's letter

"Of1cials on the inside of the CEN
sus row, defenders of the personal

chief motives behind recent Con-
gressional attacks is fear of the ef-

F0RCES OF PROGRESS

To push a town ahead, there have
to be two kinds of effort. First. an
active group of people willing TO do
things to obtain growth and i'm
provement. Second. some powerful
agency which can arouse the people
tc the need of accomplishing i'm
rrovements and making progress.
Towns do not grow just because OF
wishing. nor do they grow because of
licking. They grow because active
rushers take hold and work. There
needs to be some agency which con-
vinces people that they have to con-
tribute time and effort of their own.
G'he home town newspaper performs
that function. It supports public
movements. induces people TO join
them, tells about their activities SO
that people feel interested to coop
crate. Good workers. plus strong
and influential newspaper. can ac-
cOmplish wonders anywhere.

his fourth reorganization plan 20 the
House TO reduce expenditures and

MORE SELLING POWER NEEDED

MORE SELLING POWER NEEDED
In the saIes-jObs campaign that
was promoted some time ago in a
nation wide movement, the state
aent was made by one noted speak
e. that the statesmen of the land have
not in the past asked enough peO-
pie to buy. He told how great re-
suits had been achieved just by a
more energetic solicitation of trade.
He named a leading city where
twice as many automobiles were
sold through this campaign as had
been during the period preceding.
It is a principle Of trade, that the
more people you ask to buy, the
more people will get interested in
buying. Solicitation from door to
door may or may not have any great
result. Sometimes the home folks
get tired of solicitors.
II you keep presenting to people
the advantages OF buying something
they want and need, some of them
viii loosen up their idle money and
buy these things Probably that is

s,ons. And don't forget that the least

Summers BIN

The House reacted against a pro-
posal by the Judiciary Committee TO
change the procedure OF instituting
impeachment proceedings against
Federal District and Circuit Judges
for misbehavior, defeating the SUM
ners bill 1876 to 104 last week. Under
the Constitution, the House inn
peaches, and the Senate holds the
trials, but the Summers measure
would provide for the Chief Justice
TO designate three judges Of the Cir
cult Court of Appeals to sit in iudg-
ment. Claims of the bill being un-
constitutional were made, and a min
ority report by Republicans pointed
out that the Senate is the sole"
Judge of the suffieiency of evidence
and of the guilt or innocence of the
accused judge. Many members OBJ
viOusly considered this bill an as
sault on the Constitution.

outside competition. and a little
more advertising to meet that COM
