President Manuel Prado recently
took measures to enforce a law
passed in 1920, providing that the
owners OF plantations, mines, and
factories in Peru must establish free
schools for the children of their en-
ployees when other educational ia
cilities are not available. According
to a proclamation by the President,
more than 1000 work centers, each
with 30 or more children, lack
schools.

No Control Prouided

THE Office of Price Administra-
ton has no authority over the farm
price program and no authority
over wages The price control
bill now before congress does not
provide for any control of wages,
and control of farm prices cannot
begin until ITO per cent of parity
is reached Since as this analysis
has shown, the upward movement
of prices is chiefly due to increases
in the prices OF agricultural prod
ucts and in wage costs, it is obvious
that the Office of Price Admins
tration has no effective control over
the price system as whole

TIMELY FACTS
About
AGRICULTURE
From Montana Extension an1
Experiment Services
Montana State COIlcEc

On the basis OF an experiment that
has been in progress at the North
Montana Branch Experiment station
at Havre since 1886, it is possible to
get stands of crested wheatgrass on
sod where native grass has been
weakened by drouth or overgrazing,
says Fred S. Wilson, superintend-
ent. A year ago this fall ITO acres
of poor sod cover was selected on
the station pastures and seeded with
this grass. Good stands were es-
tablished In seeding on sod no
previous tillage work is required,
Wilson said. Just seed in the crest
ed wheat with furrow drill.
With good care of poultry flocks,
heavy feeding and good weather, it
is expected that the national goal
of four billion dozens of eggs in
1912 will be reached
Fall is a good time to get the
hotbed prepared for use later on,
says E. E. Isaac, extension horticul-
turist. By filling the pit with ma
nure this fall the soil will not
freeze 50 deep. Then when the time
comes to start the hotbed the old
manure can be removed and the pit
filled with . fresh supply. Enough
soil tor the seed bed should be
stored In the root cellar to avoid
having to work with frozen soil
when the hotbed is started. A hot
bed 6 feet wide and IL feet long
requires one and one-third cubic
yards OF soil for a seeded.

JLQLGS.-EDITON-
By EDWARD c. JOHNSTON
ITO Domingo Faustino Sarmiento
can be traced most OF the tunda-
mental bases of present Argentine
life. Iron-jaWed opposition leader,
exile. deputy. senator. diplomat, gen
eral. President OF the Republic. he
had only one motto, the teaching of
the ignorant.
Born in 1911. Sarmiento was truly
a son of the revolution. For the pre-
vious year the Spanish colonies pre-
ferred their independence to incor-
poration into the empire headed by
Joseph Bonaparte, King OF Spain by
appointment OF his brother Napoleon.
Immediately. the young Sarmiento's
life took on that movemented and
adventurous character ii would have
to the end: his father migrated to
Chile. And it was in the neighbor-
ing province Of Chile that the young
Argentine grew up, and worked flrst
as a small retail merchant. then rs
clerk and later as a mine operator.
No schooling was available. Never
theless, SArmiento, like the Abe Lin
coin whose biography he was to write
later. found time and opportunity to
read and learn. In 1886. he returned
to Argentina and opened school
for young women in hia home town
Of San Juan. d
Beginning in 1929 the notorious
dictator Rosas dominated the whole
country BY controlling the fountain
head-then u now--of all Argentine
life: the city OF Buenos Aires,
Started Liberal Newspaper
Two years were enough for Sar-
miento and he returned to Chile in
! hurry, having meanwhile been In
jail for opposing the dictator. In
Chile he engaged in journalism.
founding 4 liberal paper which
ceaselessly attacked the Rosas re-
gime and tactics. All this time. how-
ever. Sarmiento had been showing
that while he deserved consideration
as journalist and writer. his real
work was education In 1912 he
founded in Chile, the first normal
school in Latin America.
From this point on. education was
the real interest in Sarmientos life.
As Mrs. Horace Mann says, "Sar-
miento had as his watchword, The
education Of the people. Adventures
and political activity; diplomacy.
study abroad or warning; all meant
to Sarmiento only the fulfillment Of
his creed. that public education is
the only basis OF republic, =
Sarmiento participated in the rev.
olution led by General Urquiza which
overthrow the Rosas dictatorship at
the battle of Caseros in 1882. He was
then made minister Of public instruc-
ton.
There were at that time no schools
to speak Of in the Argentine. The
principle of universal education
which today one takes for granted
had not caught on. There were a
couple OF universities specializing in
theology and law and the parochial
schools maintained by the Church.
Yet governors OF states needed to
learn to read and write: the young
republic was crying for administra-
tors, technicians. agriculturists. Edu-
cation of the people meant literally
the education of nation, and Sar-
mientor threw himself into his life's
work
Finally in 1865 he was appointed
Minister to the United States.

WASHINGTON. - Anyone who
thinks that infiation-and unbridled
imitation at that-can be prevented
without freezing farm prices and
wages should read one of two, pref
erably both. recent observations.
One of these was the testimony
on Capitol Hill of Bernard NJ
Baruch. The other is pamphlet
issued by the Brookings Institution
entitled Effects of the Defense
Program on Prices, Wages and
Profits. The latter is by DR..
Meyer Jacobstein and DR.. Harould
G.. Moulton. Dr. Moulton is head
of the Brookings Institution.
They are interesting chiefly be-
cause they demonstrate, emphatic
ally and without heat, that nothing
the government is doing or proposes
to do will prevent runaway prices,
and partial destruction, though this
cutting of the value of the dollar,
OF all savings accounts, life insur-
ance, social insurance benefits-in
fact all forms of savings which are
measured in dollars and not in
goods.
1t hits the government bond and
the sock under the mattress equally
in proportion. It hits the very de-
Tense bonds the public is being told
are good investment.
Issued on the Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau's proposal Of
a boost in the social security tax
from 2 to 8 per cent was announced,
the authors Of the Brookings PAM
phlet could not have been meaning
to hit it. But they did. One Of the
admitted reasons for this proposed
tax boost was to cut private pur-
chasing power as a partial check
on imitation.
Brooking1 Statement
Say Drs. Jacobstein and Moulton.
The price advance cannot be
directly attributed to the increases
in mass purchasing power. II the
general rise 10 prices had been due
to competitive bidding by consumers
possessed Of increased incomes, one
would expect to find retail prices
increasing at least Is much and -
rapidly as the prices OF manufac-
tured products and raw materials.
The facts show. however, that the
increase in retail prices has been
relatively small The price rises
began at the producing and not at
the consuming end
The facts clearly show that the
active forces leading to price ad-
vances in the present situation have
been operating on raw materials
and manufactured products, gradu-
ally spreading from there to the
retail end
The prevailing belief in govern
ment circles that price rises could
not occur SO long as there remained
a large volume Of unemployed labor
and capital goes far toward explain
ing why no deep concern was mani
tested until fairly recently over the
price question, and why the Office
of Price Administration was not
set up until the spring of 194l. Had
the nature of the price imitation
process been clearly perceived,
steps would doubtless have been
taken at much earlier date to
control the sources of price disturb

Still Angry
Suburb Is After Detroit
About That Zoo

The feud of two cities, Detroit
and Huntington Woods, blazes
again today while the Detroit
Common Council ponders on a
letter from E. II. Waterhouse, city
OF the suburb, asking
how the Detroit zoo can sell beer
without the permission of Hunt
ington Woods and why fire pro-
lection for the zoo is not furnished
by the Detroit fire department.
Practically all the zoo is in
Huntington Woods.
Fire department officials as
sured Council that in case Of a
fire at the zoo the department
would send trucks and equipment
and extinguish the blaze. On or
ders from Council, John T. Millen.
zoo director, will explain to
Waterhouse why the suburb was
not consulted when the zoo liquor
license was obtained.
Huntington Woods set off the
fued last year by assessing the
miniature railway system at the
ZOO at $4,000 and sending a $3.50
tax bill to Detroit. Detroit argued
that the railway was a govern
mental activity and thus not tax
able. The matter was referred to
the state tax commission and a
hearing held. No decision has
heen made.
