TEACHERS CHANGE MINDS

one hears people speak, with growing frequency,
" of the failure of our educational system. The
charge is most often made by educators them
selves. They are shocked and alarmed by the neg
atve attitude of large part of our college youths
to the moral issues of the war in Europe and to
the needs of national defense If so many Ameri-
can young men and women remain neutral
while democracy is fighting for it's life, it seems to
the bewildered elders that education has been a
failure
But isn't there some reason for maintaining
Just the contrary and arguing that education has
been, technically, a great success? That is pre-
cisely what many of the young people are saying
to their elder critics They are only practicng
what their seniors have been teaching them for
the last twenty years
If a surprisingly large number Of boys and
girls are pacifst in today's grim hour, it is
because they have been taught that war never
settles anything. If they remain cool in the face
of Nazi violence, it is because they have been
thoroughly inoculated against propaganda" If
they believe that the present war, like the World
War twenty-five years ago, is a duel between two
imperalisms it is because college textbooks and
college teachers in the last twenty years have
strongly leaned to that view.
Education, technically, has been big success
in the case of the Youngsters. They were conscen-
tious Students Instead of going to night clubs
and dances, they stayed at home and studied thei1
OSt-armStice lessons.

TREE-PLA LANTING

EXPLAINING, for beauty and utility, has
been too often neglected in America. Many
I community has found, too late, that destruction
Of trees lining highways and Streets takes away
that only many years can restore.
Michigan is a state that seems to realize the
value of trees along its highways. The develop
ment Of Michigan's roadside tree-planting pro-
gram to beautify state highways and to prevent
heavy drifting of snow over roadways in winter
has just reached the point where it is beginning
to serve its purpose, the American Society of
Planning Officials says.
Since the program was started several years
ago. the state has been engaged in intensive tree
planting activities and has purchased many acres
Of tmbered rights-of-way along highways In 1889
the highway department bought 446 acres of this
timber land, bringing its total to 1912 acres.
The landscaping of the highways, besides beau
tifying them, has uttarian basis and safety
factor. The lines of trees serve to warn motor
lists of curves ahead. Trees frequently have been
planted on straight sections to outline the road
way, and paintings are omitted where they might
interfere with motorists vision.
The value of tmbered land acquired along
in the northern portion of the state is
recognized when figures for snow removal costs
show the cost is reduced by onehalf in the wooded
sections. There the snow does not drift SO deeply
and there is no need of maintaining snow fences.

MORE DEADLY THAN BOMBERS

WHEN bomber of a warning nation destroys
important industries and kills helpless people,
it causes public CONSERVATION and determination
to correct the evil
Minor news items in Oregon in two days re-
ported death and destruction by fire which puts
the average bomber to shame For instance, three
children were trapped and burned to death in an
upstairs bedroom in their home and 4 neighbOr
was injured in attempting their rescue. Fire swept
through and virtually destroyed q logging COM
munity comprised Of homes and an abandoned
saWmill. Another blaze destroyed seed expert
mental plant and canned milk to the value of
$l5O000. A fourth fire swept through railroad
siding at a cost of $75, 900. A fifth fire burned a
sawmill at cost of $4,000, leaving eighty en-
ployes jobeSs.
That's better than the average record of death
and destruction caused by a modern bomber, and
yet it is simply the report Of the fires in one
SparSely settled state for two days. Multiply that
record by 1S states and increase it in proportion to
population, and you have an idea Of what the
enemy Fire, is costing this nation. If bombers
caused as much damage, the loss would be blaZ-
Oned in the headlines across the land.
While insurance covers some Of the material
loss from fire, it cannot replace the 10000 lives
that it wipes out annually, or the thousands of
Jobs that are destroyed, loss of business or price
less possessions
AS every citizen pays in some way or other
when fire strikes, every citizen should be vitality
interested in fire prevention. During dry summer
months every effort should be made to eliminate
fire hazards and control fire

RAILROAD OPPOSES BAN
ON ENGINEERS AGE

Albany, N. Y. GLNS).-A recon-
mendation by the Public Service Com
mission that railroad engineers more
than 60 years of age be barred was
opposed by the New York Central
Railroad on the ground that the mat
ter is beyond state jurisdiction.
Give C. Handy, general attorney
for the railroad, contended at a hear
ing that the recommendation would
violate contracts between the company
and Engineer Brotherhoods under the
Federal Railway Labor Act.
The commission postponed positive
action. It's recommendation was based
on report Of its chief engineer, Nal
colin C. Cleveland, attributing the dis
astrous Little Falls wreck to excessive
speed and possible mental confusion or
the part of the 67-year old engineer
J. S. Earl, killed in the accident.
