.-S-.l Art and Patriotism
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Ignace Jan Paderewski, one of the most beloved figures in the world of music, has left his piano to head the refugee Parliament of Poland at its temporary seat in Central France. It is not the first time the aged pianist has abandoned his art at the call of patriotism. In the World War he as- sumed leadership of his peoples struggle for 1nde- pendence and was a powerful factor in its reali- zation.
 Paderewski returned to his art in 1919, and as the Polish Government departed further and further from the ideals which inspired the independence movement Paderewski became voluntary exile. For many years he did not enter his homeland, which he had done so much to reestablish. Now there has crisis and the laborous task of rebuilding a free Poland must be undertaken afresh At 79, frail and weak, the most widely known Pole in the world again comes to the aid of his vctimized and discouraged people.
 It must have been a dramatic scene indeed there in the tiny fragment of France, which is legally Polish soil today, when the beloved artist-statesman stood with frail physique but gallant courage to declare
 Poland is immortal We will deliver her from captivity and will raise her from the ruins. We take this engagement before God"

Honest Job Well
(Continued from Page Onel

Those are questions the American
Youth Commission of the American
Council on Education is trying to
answer. For the Bill Whites of the
country come much nearer to being
the rule than the exception. There
are nearly 100000 young people be-
tween the ages of fifteen and twenty
four out of work today. The commits
sion finds the majority of them have
no definite job training or experience.
And every year there are 1,750,0C0
more sent out from our schools to
hunt jobs. Present evidence seems to
show that less than one in four of our
youth in general have received any of
that preparation for jobs that we call
vocational guidance.
And yet each Bill White has $4,000
different kinds of jobs to pick from.
1t would seem that out of the lot he
should find something suited to him
if he had the proper direction.
The American Youth Commission
believes that obtaining such direction
is one of the greatest needs and tough
est problems of our youth. The COM
mission-of which Owen d. Young is
chairman, Floyd w. Reeves is director
and Paul r. David is acting director
has been studying this problem for
five years throughout the country. 1t
has had personal interviews through
it's field men with 10000 youths in
that time. The results, it believes,
have given a fair cross-section of the
nations 21,C00,00O youths.
Recently the commission has COM
pleted a joint project with the En-
ployment Service Division of the So
cal Security Board in which it made
a fact-finding survey in four city areas
and their four adjoining suburban and
rural counties. These areas are ST..
Louis, Baltimore, Providence and Dal-
las. The commission conducted a DEM
onstration, in each section, of sys-
tenn for providing vocational guidance
and job placement. The results of this
project will be published this fall as
a book entitled "Matching Youth and
Jobs" by Howard M. Bell, of the
commission staff.
Inc COIllHlSSlOli believes ClldI any
program better fitting workers for
their jobs pays good money to both
workman and boss. BY making the
workman happy and successful in his
work, it makes sound and thrifty
citizens, and hence sound community.
By reducing labor turnover and
friction, it adds profit and greater use
fulness to industry, therefore increas
ing the prosperity Of the community.
Of course, the school should play an
important part in any system for
fitting youngsters to jobs. The COM
mission would put upon it primarily
the business of helping the pupil find
his line of work and educating him
along that line. And it would have

Refuse To Indorse
F.D.R.'s S Third Term
indiana Federation Of Ld-
Dor Votes 209 to 81 Against
Endorsement

Marion, Ind.-The Indiana Fedora
ton Of Labor refused to indorse the
third term aspirations Of President
Roosevelt. The organization also de-
clined to support the Democratic ad-
ministration Of Gov. NJ Clifford Town
send.
The action was taken at the clos
ing session of the federation's con-
vention here. The delegates voted
209 to 81 against resolution pre-
sented to Max Shafer, member and
conciliator Of the state division of
labor, to indorse the national and state
administrations and Mr.. Roosevelt's
bid for reelection.
Robert J. Watt, international rep
resentative Of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor, said in an address to
the conventions:
"We must not forget, however pre-
occupied we may become with the
problem of national defense, that the
preservation of labor's gains is one
Of the bulwarks Of our national de-
fense. As the British record has so
we'll demonstrated, the strength of a
nation rests in the unity of interest
among its working people for the
preservation of its way of life.
THAT way of life in the United
States, even before the war, was far
happier than in any other nation that
l know Of, and much happier and bet
ter in every way than the existence
of those millions enslaved by the Nazi,
Communist or Fascist gangsters."

Mrs. Cory became busy in the next

After a while, Nellie came in to
her. "Now, come and see!" she cried
eagerly and let her mother into the

"Indeed you did, dear, and you shall

the mother. She was going to point
out pools on the floor and the child's

The author believes that no good
purpose is served by organizing en-
ployment office work on the as
sumption that all persons under a
certain age need counselling and all
over that age do not. Many Offices
arbitrarily choose twenty-one as a
dividing line The result is that many
youth who are satisfactorily adjusted
in their occupations are sent to the
junior divisions for coUnseling which
they don't need, while other applicants
beyond twenty-one are referred to
adult divisions that provide none Of
the counseling and testing services
which their individual problems re-
quire. The author believes. therefore,
that it is desirable to develop the
junior division Of the public employ
ment office SO that its cOunseling and
testing will be available to all needy
workers regardless OF age,
"a truly coordinated program will
involve not only governmental and
private agencies" the report concludes.
in the reduction Of useless and costly
vocational maladjustment must begin
in the home. Paregrs can usually
make their greatest contribution to
the occupational adjustment of their
children by refusing to dictate or
take sides during the period Of q
child's vocational exploration. Nc
children come into this world and very
few reach the age Of adolescence with
objectives and clear-cut appraisals Of
their vocational assets and liabilities.
The discovery of these assets and Ii
abilities usually calls for the technical
competence of the teacher, counsellor
of psychologist who is trained for the
job. The average parent, for all his
good intentions and his love, is neither
emotionally qualified nor professional
ly trained to assume his total respOn-
sibiity."
But the big thing is for the whole
community to get together and decide
that it's worthwhile doing something
to save young folks from trying the
wrong jobs.
"More than money, more than new
agencies, more than anything else, the
creation and operation Of such pro-
grams call for the good will which
prompts people to put an end to need
less Illustration and waste" the re-
port says. at is true that the kind
of program here suggested demands
a modest expansion Of public funds
for education, employment service and
research. 1t is equally true that such
increases will be more than cancelled
out by the personal, social and ma
terial benefits which both employer
and worker will enjoy.
"AdeQuate and effective programs
of occupational adjustment assure re-
turns in social and material dividends
that are gratifying high. 1t is the
authors conviction that no type of
social program costs so little and
yields so much. As adventures in hu-
man engineering, such programs, when
properly understood, have the rare
virtue of appealing to both humani-
tarianism and self-interest."
