10000, 900 STUDENTS RESUME WORK

AS the schools of the United States
Americans to take pride in the spectacle
which cannot be duplicated upon the face
of the earth.
In this country some thirty million
children will begin or continue their educa-
ton. 1t will cost the nation more than ST.
50O,000,000 to provide educational facili-
ties for its future citizens. More than one
million men and women are employed as
instructors in the public and private
schools of the nation.
While naturally proud of the educa-
tional system of this democracy, Americans
should never forget that the processes of
education, like other processes, are con-
stantly subject to change and improve
ment. While we should not be too quick to
accept the fads which are introduced by
so-called experts, we should not close our
minds to the possibility of increasing the
efficiency of our school system.
In Key West hundreds of children
have resumed their studies. They are 60
ing to schoolhOuSes to be instructed by
their adults The courses they take repre-
sent the best judgment of their elders.
1t is gratifying to learn that, more and
more, the grown-ups are considering the
problems of the child-mind and attempt
ing to make the educational system fit the
needs of the pupil in order to develop boys
and girls into substantial citizens of this
democracy.

EXCESSIVE NOISES!

The Citizen was glad to see the Serv-
ice Club action taken on the subject of ex-
cess street noises being committed in the
vicinity of churches of the city on Sum-
days. The method taken in alienation
was quite proper, letter of complaint to
Mayor Albury-and it should be produc-
tive of results.
The subject, however, brings to mind
a condition that has long ranked in the
minds of many Key Westers. And that is,
the excessive noises, mostly at night, that
are allowed to issue forth at the city's
main corner and on the property along
side of the La COncha hotel.
We are told that that hotel has writ
ten letters of complaint time after time
about noisy conditions in front of its estab-
lishment at all hours of the night, address
ed to the mayor and the city council Not
only that, we have talked personally with
any number of residents at the hotel dur
ing the past months on the same subject.
Others in the same district have COM
planned, too, about the noises that issue
forth from that corner and from La Concha
Park at late hours-oftentime carried OH
way beyond the midnight hour. Members
of st. PauPs Church have especially de-
cried these noises, and rightfully so.
1t appears, then, high time that the
police department. supported by decree of
the mayor and the city council, do some
thing constructive about this condition.
There is no good reason why this section of
the city has to abound with great variety
of noises at late hours and the remedy, as
usual, is effective control on the part of
the police.
1t has been said that the condition is
uncomfortable, to a great extent. The Citi-
zen does not believe that statement. It's
simply matter of enforcement Why
can't we have it?
When a bad condition continues to
exist for too long time, despite all that
law-abiding citizens can do about it, the
time comes when those citizens have per-
feet right to demand showdown. On this
subject of excessive night noises, The Citi-
zen believes that ''the time has come.

NOT MANAGED BY THE NAILS

c. J. Hambro, President of the Nor
wegian Parliament, now in Washington,
points out that Norways economic life is
not managed by the Nazis.
Explaining, he points out that the
whole Norwegian merchant marine,
greater than that of Germany or France
ard nearly double that of the Neither
lands" is being operated by the Norwegian
Government; that Norwegians are flying
their country's flag over the seven seas and
that now, as in times of peace, the mer-
chant marine is one Of the most important
factors in the economic life of Norway.
Mr. Hambro calls attention to the fact
that the King and Government of Norway
are in London and that Norwegian ships
continue to be operated by the Norwegian
Government, even if the orders are issued
from London.

GREENVILLE, S. c., Sept. II.
Necessity is the mother of in
vention. But in Henry Shuler's
case, folks down Postum King
dom way say he just naturally
has inventive genius.
Neighbors figure Henry's false
teeth are just about the most in
genious yet perceived.
Henry needed a whole upper
plate and couldn't see his way
clear to pay the dentist.
So he got a block of sourwood
and whitfield it down to where it
would fit into his mouth. He
still needed teeth.
Mrs. Shuler had a few pearl
buttons, and the first thing you
know Henry had carved seven of
the prettieSt pearl button teeth
you ever saw.

He cut grooves in the sour
wood plate for the teeth to fit
into, and drove pins through the
remaining eye in each button to
hold them in place.
That would have been enough
for most people, but not for
Henry. His lower jaw didn't
have "a thing to work against. -
He went to work again.
When he got through with his
lower plate, there were seven
pearl button teeth in the middle,
and on each end, where the
heavy duty chewing comes, there
was a very adequate thick tooth
made out of a hog bone.
Several dentists have offered
Henry whole set of store
bought teeth for his homemade
ones.

Ending Depressions

There is a bill in congress which
would provide for a federal COM
mission to study economic problems,
and find a way to end depressions.
II it appeared that such a commits
sion would find some such method.
our people would vote with a whoop
to set it to work. The wise men
who have been studying this issue
for 10 years. and they can't agree
on any adequate solution.
The country has had depressions
before, and always recovered from
them. though the one that started in
1929 has lasted longer. It would
seem the sensible thing for people
to study the methods by which they
recovered from previous depres-
sions. and try to initiate them. One
thing is clear, when there is a
chance to make money in business,
business people are pretty apt to
hustle around for help. and put the
unemployed to work.

It has been remarked that some
business companies are slow just
now to take on men Of the ages
most likely to be drafted for army
training, on account Of fear that
conscription win make It necessary
for them 70 quit their Jobs for q
time. The boys have had plenty Of
trouble finding work. and now this
new obstacle may thwart the pro-
gress of some.
If some youth is turned down be-
cause liable to conscription, his
chances for getting job somewhere
else are improved. The spending Of
a vast sum of money for defense is
like throwing a stone into a lake.
The wavelets created by that stone
reach a long way. Every industry
in the country will feel the stimulus
of that expenditure.
The country has to pay for that
stimulus at later date. There will
be hard and lean times ahead while
the debts now being ron up are be-
ing paid on. But for the time being
the outlook for youth to get a job is |
improved. His bright mind and
strong arms are needed.

Outburst of Fury

The German blitzkrieg by air is on
In dead earnest. The reports OF
London tell story never paralleled
before, of a vast amount of expIo-
sives dropped on the people of that
sad city. There seems no limit to
the fury and hatred and insanity of
man.
While the world has been dream
ing Of mercy and justice and friend
ship. these vast powers of warfare
have risen in the dark. Like great
creatures Of the jungle, they spring
upon the weak and the poor and de-
They send hundreds of
inohending and peaceful people to
their death. and thousands are on
beds of pain and amputation in hos
pitfalls.

cries out. England in its agony,
