T DUCATIoN is first of all an effort OF
T. human society to strengthen. perfect
and purify in the coming generation the
ideals and purposes of that society.
Thus education in America should be
fundamentally system Of continuing and
perfecting the American way Of life.
American education should be essen
tally a process of learning to use the tools
of American civilization.
This civilization regards as illiterate
anv one who has not complete grasp OF
reading, writing and arithmetic, 1.-The three
Rs" of our forefathers.
The humblest ditchdigger is helpless
If he cannot read and understand written
instructions. if he cannot compute
measurement.
No one can cook. sew, cultivate, operate
machines, keep books, figure costs and
prices or pass along the simplest in
structions of his craft if he has not
a ready and instructive grasp of the
''three Rs"
A THE required skills and knowledges
"A rise in the professional fields, the
more stringent does that fundamental
grasp become necessary.
And yet, in the face of this elementary
and obvious requisite, our public school
systems, obscessed and fascinated with the
fscile propaganda of so-called progressive
education. are leading our youngsters pre-
cisely in the opposite direction.
Toward meaningless graces. cultural
veneers, superficial. predigested mental
pap, contempt for discipline and horror
for work.
Our schools are suffering from a
"white-coIlar" complex, from false social
ideals and attitudes. from the extravagant
am billions inculcated by half-baked
academicians.
4, Our schools have become Fools Para
discs where every effort is bent toward
making the path easy for children, instead
of hardening children to meet the harsh
and Incorporating path of life.
Most of our schools are preparing
youth to appreciate a dead past rather
than to solve the problems of living
present.

Potatoes
Great Food

the potatoes are boiled in the
skin.
The water should be boiling
when the potatoes are put into
it and the boiling should not
be interrupted even for min
ute until the potatoes are
cooked.
Baking is the best way to
cook a potato. AS soon as the
baked potato is cooked, a fork
should be thrust through the
skin in order TO let the enclosed
steam escape; otherwise they
become soggy at once.
Potato chips have reputation
for being indigestible, but in
reality they are not. Perhaps
their reputation comes from the
excessive amounts YOU are
likely TO eat if you get started.
They take up moisture in the
stomach and this leads to di-
lation of the stomach. But ii is
temporary and not serious.
IN DIETETIC planning for the
L invalid mashed potatoes are
splendidly adapted for the pa
tient with ulcer or acid indiges-
ton.
They do not irritate this deli
cate organism at all. and small
amount of them gives great
deal Of nourishment.
In buying, one should select
potatoes that feel firm and
hard. The pulp should be yell
lowish-white.
Commercial buyers use the
following test: cut the potato
and rub the pieces together. A
white froth will appear round
the edges. The more froth the
better the potatoes.
Green color in potatoes indi-
Gates that they have grown too
near the surface of the ground,
and that the sun has affected
them in such way as to rem
der them practically unfit for
use.

ture potatoes.
UnScrupulous dealers offer
these as great delicacies. but
they may be nothing more than
unripened potatoes Of inferior
quality. They may be tested in
the same way as any other po-
tato by rubbing the cut edges
together.

Let's Go Back to the 3 Rs

THESE indictments are not new For
years parents and employers have
been complaining of the practical ilhteracy
of graduates, be they from grammar
schools into the ranks of labor, from
high schools into the trades, or from
universities into the professions. The
universities themselves wall at the in
credbly low standard of secondary school
preparation.
The "progressives' in fact have led
education to progress downwards, like
cows tail.
And now we are engaged in the worlds
most terrible struggle, one in which the
unskilled, the ignorant and the unframed
are only mouths to feed and bodies to
protect.
We shall in time be engaged in the
reconstruction Of a sick and chaotic world,
where the same people will be only costly
nuisances.
WYE MUST return to the principles of
w discipline and work. We must stop
teaching youth to play so well that it is
fitted for nothing else, stop associating
useless knowledge with culture"
The waste of time, bad for the
teachers, worse for the student and
runous to the community cannot be re-
gained. But it can be corrected in the
future by getting rid of the pretty and
unhealthy frosting and increasing the
vtamins of 1.-THE three Rs" in the edu-
cational cake.
After all, it is simple matter of first
things first.
A house is strong because of its
foundation, not its last coat of paint. The
glow of beauty in a child is the result of
a sound and Well-nourished body. The
work of man is good because he has
absorbed and used practical and funda-
mental knowledge
We do not repair house with paint
put rouge on an anemic child or let a
superficial trick pass for sound work.
So let our schools 60 back to "the
three RS" and their extensions as they
come along, to the training of able and
useful citizens, to the pride and satisfaction
of work well-done, of difficulties not evaded
but surmounted.
The parents and the employers expect
1T, the youngsters deserve it and the
nation needs it now more than ever.

The stores will close at 5:45 p. m. or
later instead of $50.
BY closing slightly later, they will
help ease the load at Detroit's traffic peak
which comes at $50 AS every one
knows, the DSR is rapidly reaching the
point where it simply cannot handle all
the traffic at rush hours.
BY closing later, the stores will di-
vert some $4,000 employees thousands
of customers-to the DSR after the peak
is over.
Although it will necessitate a consid-
cradle change in their routine, the stores
have been glad to comply with the request
of the Detroit traffic co-ordinator.
BY these changes, the merchants are
doing their share to ease Detroits trans
portation crisis and conserve delivery serv-
ices for you.
