THE JEWS LAMENT

Harry Frederick. Harlem Labor
pamphleteer and soap-box orator
was recently Jailed for 60 days
along with 2 others for making an
ti-Jewish speeches on his soap-box,
Frederick, and several other step
ladder speakers had been warned
to cease their attack, which they
based upon labor exploitation, on
the Jew.
However, the same attacks had
long been carried out before Hitler
came to power. But today the sub
ject is strictly taboo, and we think
it should be. 1t is one thing to bat
tie for the Labor rights of an ex-
plotted minority on the basis Of
imperSonal facts. and quite another
thing to attack the Jews as a race.
The situation should simply remain
a matter of black men fighting
their way up in white mans
world.
It seems to be that aside from
any truth, in Frederick's Jewish at
tacks. the Negro should lie the last
one TO laise the cry to race. 4"
When this was the very thing he
has been fighting against It can
only act as a boomerang against
our best interest
+ Fredericks, in his passionate en-
thusiasm to unite the Negro has
been working against himself, and
his cause be distributing pamphlets
in which arouses animosity by
raising the question of color and
attempting TO show that only peo-
Pile with black skin and of pure
African descent are superior, and
that people of light complexion are
inferior. One large New York
white daily mentioned this very
thing in connection with Freder-
iCk
The above situation not only
shows poor 5ttltegy uuJ downright
stupidity 1t can never It any
where.

Dental Health
This is one of a series of articles
prepared by the Minnesota De-
partment of Health.
Keeping Teeth Healthy.

The chief rule, both for keeping
our teeth and for keeping them heal
thy, is early and frequent dental at
tention This is essential if we hope
to protect our teeth from the two
conditions that are mainly responsible
for their loss-dental decay and pyor-
rhea.
Early dental attention means 60
ing to the dentist early in life. A
child two years of age is not too
young to be taken to the dentist, and
parents should be sure to take boys
and girls for dental checkup as soon
as the children have all of their baby
teeth. Unfortunately, the teeth of
practically all children are subject
to decay, condition which we do
not yet know how to prevent. But
teeth need not be lost from this
cause if they receive dental attention
before decay has damaged them to
any great extent.
Frequent Dental Care.
Frequent dental attention means
going W tllc ueiltlSt DIS OlCCIi DIS ilc
thinks advisable Some people are
more susceptible than others to den
tai decay or to pyorrhea, just as some
people have more colds than others.
Some may need to go to the dentist
three or four times year, whereas
one or two visits a year may be
enough for others. That is something
that only your dentist can tell you.
Home care of the teeth is also de-
sirable, but it cannot take the place
of dental care. We do not depend on
cleanliness alone to protect our bodies
from disease, and we cannot depend
on it to protect our teeth from decay.
Scientific research may eventually
find way of preventing dental de-
cay and pyorrhea, but at present we
know of only one dependable way to
save teeth that have begun to be
attacked by these conditions. That
is to obtain early and frequent dem
tai care.

Sight-Saving Glasses.

The first sightseeing class for par
TALLY sighted children was organized
in 1919. Two distinctive features of
such a class are teachers specially
trained in modification of method and
adaptation of subject matter, and
special equipment for a classroom in
which the child prepares his lessons.
For example, the partially sighted
child needs books of large, clear type,
printed on buff-colored unglazed pa
per, special large-type typewriter,
a movable and adjustable desk and
chair, and adequate lighting.
The supervision of one of these
classrooms requires a teacher not
only with natural ability and basic
training, but also with applied skill
in directing variety of study pro-
jects on different levels. She must
have keen and sympathetic under
standing of children in general, but
particularly of children with defec-
tive vision.
Thirty two Glasses.
Since 1919 the number of schools
maintaining these classes has in
creased so that a total of 384 chill
dren are receiving this special edu-
cation in the following centers: CHS
holm, Coleraine, Hibbing, st. Cloud,
Virginia, Winona, Duluth, Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul.
These 1874 children are distributed
through 80 classes, Is of which are
in Duluth, Minneapolis and St. Paul.
This means that there must be many
children in this state who do not
have this opportunity without being
sent away from home. Approximately
so children are in the sight-saving
classes at the Faribault School for
the Blind. Reliable estimates in other
states show that one child in every
500 of the school population will be
in need of the services of a sight
saving teacher. Applying this ratio
to Minnesota, there would be at least

Over One-half Of All
bLINDNE{{iApREvEN

1000 children eligible for sight-sav-
ing classes.
Eligibility for sight-saving class
is determined on the basis of several
visual difficulties. Some cannot read
ordinary print or see letters and fig
ures on the blackboard Others are
able to read ordinary print, but only
at the expense of their vision. There
are those who have progressive eye
defects or diseases that seriously af-
feet their vision. Eye physicians,
teachers, and nurses work together
to decide which children shall have
this special method of education. At
present there are only IS county
nurses and IS school nurses in Min
nesota. A course in eye Health"
for nurses will be given at the Uni
versity this summer.
Authorized by Legislature.
State support for special education
was authorized by the Legislature in
1915, but several factors have limited
progress in sightseeing classes. First,
there is the lack of specially trained
teachers; second, is the difficulty in
getting equipment; but the greatest
obstacle is the fact that no accurate
data has been procured as to who
and where these partially sighted
children are. The small number of
these children who are known to the
State Department of Education live
in widely distributed homes. Until
children who need this service are
brought to the attention of that de-
partment, we cannot expect to es-
tablish adequate sight-saving facili-
ties because state aid for this pur-
pose is on a per-pupil basis. The
rate is $500 per pupil, but since 1927
appropriations by the Legislature
have not been sufficient to maintain
this rate. Special class aids for 1882
1910 were prorated at 81 per cent or
Sl62 instead of $500 per pupil.
The Minnesota Society for the Pre-
vention of Blindness and Conserva-
ton of Vision is making plans to as
semble the needed data in at least
one county, hoping that the results
may be of definite value in planning
conservation of vision activities for
schools throughout the state. Every
child should have opportunity for
general education. The purpose of
the sightseeing class is to enable
partially sighted children to function
as normal individuals in the sighted
world

PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
Teachers and Positions.
A. E. GUsrArsoN. County supt.


Information has reached us that
Mrs. Vera Olson-Lick of Brook Park,
will fill the vacancy in Kanabec
county caused by the resignation of
Miss Shirley Moen. Miss Moen has
accepted position at the Hinckley
bank.
Mrs. Carol Hanson-Bennett of
Friesland, will complete the term at
Kingsdale after April first. Mrs.
Helen Langstrom has resigned to be
effective at that time.
Many of our rural teachers will
be leaving us this summer. Some
expect to enter other fields of work
and some will be married and will
move away. The teacher shortage
will no doubt reach Pine county
this coming year. Unless state aids
are paid in full so wages can be
raised, we don't see how we can hold
our best teachers.
Two Laws Needed.
In order to save Pine county, two
important actions must be taken in
the near future. Every organization
interested in Pine county and the
northern half of Minnesota should see
to it that two laws be introduced and
passed by our state legislature, be-
fore it is too late: CD The payment
of school aids in full and on the same
basis as now provided in the laws.
(2) The bonded debt problem must
be adjusted.
County and township bonds were
originally levied against the entire
township property in proportion to
the assessed valuations. These bonds
in a sense are mortgages. Now when
lack of cost of production and lack
of incomes have forced a great share
of the lands to become tax delin-
quent and revert back to the state,
the present practice (Which some
of us believe is UNCONSTITUTIONAL is
to shift the bonds from these state
lands to the remaining taxpayers.
Thus in many townships the rates
soar to unreasonable heights of hun
dreds of mills.
The remaining taxpayers are thus
forced to move out and prospective
settlers dare not move into these
areas. 1t is hopeless.
A supreme court decision or a law
should be obtained to stop this and
save Pine county, and other coun-
ties, from the inevitable fate that ap-
proaches. All lands taken over by
the state or Federal government
should assume their proportionate
share of the various municipal bonds
and not shift them to the remaining
taxpayers If thus held against the
land, it will be taken care of when
the land is resold.
The state eventually would not
lose cent except perhaps a little
interest, because, as the lands are re-
sold and reoccupied, the proportion
ate share of the various bonds could
then be gradually taken up by an
amortization plan.
Thus the remaining settlers will
not be driven from their homes by
this unreasonable and unfair shift
ing of these bonded mortgages"
Other home makers would then be
encouraged to come and start new
homes. This is next to impossible
now in many parts of Pine county
and many other northern counties
Let every organization in Pine
county get back of a real solution to
our major property tax problems
in Pine county. Write to your Sena-
tor and Representative.
