These are what you might call
the political dog days, one year
ahead of the presidential cam
psign OF 1914. There are more
political mad dogs barking their
heads off all over the land than
there ever have been before and
while the old adsge is that
barking dogs don't bite, few po-
litical barking dogs have ever
been inoculated with The serum
of complete sanity, so it be-
hooves the average citizen with
a vote TO listen carefully and not
get bit. The rabies Of political
prejudice are of the most viru-
lent sort.
Every act, every utterance,
every frothing at the mouth by
every public and political figure
now and for the next Is months
wants careful examination. Does
il mean what it seems TO mean?

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

Is ii sincere? Is il horse sense
or hooey? Does il have political
implications?
Don't let anyone put any
thing over on you.
When that old New Deal
wheel horse Harold lckes lets
loose blast at the industrial
lists holding key jobs in govern
ment war agencies, who's he
shooting at? II certainly doesnt
help the war effort, doesn't i'm
prove the entente cordiale of the
official family.
BIG SHOT AIDES
Also, bear in mind that Ickes
has two big shot business men
working for him in Ralph K.
Davies, head of Standard Oil of
California, who is now deputy
petrol cum administrator for
war, and Carl E. Newton, head
OF the c. & O. railroad, who is
now deputy coal mines admin
istrstor. Why doesn't Secretary
Ickes fire these men if he is so
filled with contempt for the
businessman breed, so afraid
they will take over the govern
ment?
But maybe Ickes was u S /
making a political speech. Why
not? In the last few weeks there
have been several cracks at the
New Deal for wanting to take
over" private business and run
il. Notable was recent state
ment by Republican Senator
Ralph o. Brewster of Dexter,
Me, remarkable for its sweep
ing insinuations but lack of sub
stantiating fact, accusing h e
New Dealers of plotting, first to
destroy small business, then to
take over big business. Brew
ster couldn't have been making
a political speech, could he? Oh
no. Neither could Ickes.

Post- War School Plans
Revealed To Rotarians

AFTER he had cited the expansion
Oh tne county school system under
Wllmlngton's accelerated wartime
program, Superintendent of Schools
II. M. Roland told the Rotary club
tuesday that in this postwar COM
munlty the schools hoped to strive
Tor Steiner pupil discipline, greater
emphasis on physical education.
and more thorough preparation.
Deerying in the modern pniloso-
phles that advocate free growth of
the child with only minimum of
guidance, Mr.. Roland explained
that stern discipline that helped to
formulate rather than destroy char.
acter was greatly needed today.
Pointing to the efficacy of the
ROTC program at the local high
school in building up the bodies of
New Hanover county's young men,
so that they have consistently been
able to pass the Army's physical
examinations, Mr.. Roland asked
for an enlarged physical program.
He pointed to the fact that the
touch of military training had ia
vorable influence not only on phys
ical well-being, but in scholastic
work and citizenship attitudes as
well.
Roland stressed the Importance
of more thorough mastery of
school subjects than modern
schools have encouraged. He de-
clared that American schools take
the cue of the old European insti-
tutions in requiring more applica-
ton to the studies.
New Hanover high school, he
emphasized, is seeking to become
an institution where the active
future citizens of the community
are produced. In that connection,
he said, it is necessary for bust |
ness men and other leaders to adj
wise the institution of their needs,
their suggestions, their anticipated |
employe-requirements so that the
school may inaugurate such train
ing procedures as are advisable.
1--WE want to fit our program
into your needs" he commented.
Mr.. Roland reviewed these sta
tistics on school-growth within the
past few years: There has been
an increase of 100 teachers to
handle the enlarged enrolment;
there are LOO more pupils in the
first-grade today than there were
three years ago; 5000 children
now eat lunch in the school cafe
terias.
Glasses in defense work have
accomplished the phenomenal, Ro-
land explained. Within one year
alone, in the vocational classes
sponsored by New Hanover High
school, $4,000 persons were trained
as war workers. The number has
been reduced to approximately S.
900 this year, as the potential la
Dor supply has dwindled.
New Hanover county's schools
contain a cross-section of the ma
TONS population, it was shown.
In classrooms today, Roland said,
one may find children from the
Panama Canal Zone, Arizona, Cali
:ornia, and even Corregidor.
Visitors included R. E. Black
velder. A. R. Howard and Law
'ence K. Rose.
