Knowledge of
Conditions Vital

Geography Is important because "
Is study Of the world In which we
live. It is a study Of the peoples who
live In the world-of our very near,
thanks to jet propulsion and atomic
energy, il not always very dear
neighbors. Geography Is also the
study of the pursuits, the indus
tries of the people of the world. Its
grasp is essential if we are to bring
intelligent thought to judgment Of
events and the conditions at horne
and abroad and their effect upon
each other and upon us.
"And yet, geography was never
taught to our people," Mr.. Studebak-
er says. ''We stop teaching it at the
eighth grade. The younger children,
from three to eight, are taught by
teachers who themselves never had
more than eighth grade instruction
in the subject"
And his second example of one
Of our educational products which
must be strengthened, economics,
belongs still less to the people"
Only 5 per cent Of the high school
pupils ever studied economies, he in
formed me, and only per cent Of
these ever learned anything about
international trade.
''How can we possibly meet the
problems arising now If we do not
understand this subject? How can
we possibly maintain free enterprise
If we cannot pass considered judg-
ment on the questions that the pa
pers are full of every day? How can
a person say whether a wage in
crease is fair II he has never studied
the simplest theories Of supply and
demand, or the more complicated
relations Of wages, costs, profits?"
And in the international field, he
continued, how could a person who
had never learned the fundamentals
of international trade know whether
tariff was justified, whether car
tel was dangerous, whether certain
foreign business activities benefited
the people as a whole, whether free
competition or government subsidy
was a better policy? How could
they advise their congressman to
vote on the Breton Woods agree
ment, or the policy Of foreign loans?
Just as geography suffers because
its teaching ends before maturity is
reached (maturity in this sense is
the 1915 year group, roughly high
school age), economics is begun too
late. It is offered as a one-year,
high school course and boiled down
into such a concentrated potion that
not only are vital elements omitted
(such as international trade) but it
becomes a dry and highly abstruse
subject. Furthermore, since it is
often an elective "a subject I'll touch
on In later article), it may be omit
ted entirely because 1t is 'hard."
These two subjects are only two
examples Of those which should, in
Mr.. Studebaker's opinion, make up
a solid "core" of education avail
able to all.
"This core" he says, "is essential

With nearly 100000 enlisted men
and officers already released since
VI Day, the navy planned for the
rehabilitation of an additional 8O0,-

a reduction in discharge scores.
Following establishment of lower
scores November /, the navy con-
templated an even further cut De-

requirements pared to "A; enlisted
male personnel to 80; WAVE off,

In cutting its discharge scores,
the navy left its point computation
unaltered, with one-half point for
each year of age; one-hah point for
each full month of service; 10 points
for dependents regardless of num-
Der, and one-fourth point for each
month of service outside of the U.s.,
since September l, 1899.
TURKEYS:
G.I.s and civilians alike are as

holidays even though the size of
birds may be smaller than usual due
to growers speeding up production

Survey Shows Children Air|ines Heavily
Employed in War Jobs Booked for Biggest
Now Seek Other Work Christmas Rush

Airlines operating out Of WASH
ington are preparing to handle their
biggest Christmas rush in his
tory, as three of them added up the
figures and announced yesterday
that they are already booked solid
for at least one day over the week
end preceding the holiday.
The two other companies said
they have unprecedented advance
bookings, but still have a few seats
available on each day.
Both United Airlines and TWA
are sold out on all flights to all
points on December 20 and 81, 1t
was learned. Pennsylvania Central
Airlines said they are booked solid
on December 81, but they expect to
have II additional DC-4 transports
leased from the Government and in
service for additional requests. They
are not yet accepting reservations
for these planes, however.
Cancellations Likely.
The fact that airlines cannot con-
firm reservations in advance for GER
tain days in the Christmas season
or in other rush periods does not
mean 1t Is now impossible to get a
seat on those days, it was pointed
out. Almost always there are last
minute cancellations, and there Is

BY JULIA EDWARDS.

The 100000 children added to
the labor market during the war are
not leaving it Of their own accord,
the Children's Bureau of the Labor
Department reported yesterday.
A report that the number of
children working in Washington has
not decreased since the war ended
bears out what the bureau has heard
from other parts of the country.
Many have lost their war jobs,
but SO far they have stepped more
easily than their elders from high
paying Industrial jobs to lower pay
ing service occupations, said Miss
Beatrice Mcconnell, chief of the
bureaus industrial division.
While finding it easy to get full
time jobs, they are losing part
time jobs, she added. A grocer who
used to advertise for clerks to work
afternoons, mornings, anytime, now
demands full-time employees. Chill
dren who could work part-time
without impairing health or educa-
tion, are now engaged in full time
jobs that often interfere with
schooling and tax their strength,
she said.
High school attendance, which
rose steadily before Pearl Harbor
and has been declining since, in
creased only slightly this fall. Re-
gardless of the economic picture,
the Children's Bureau expects to
have trouble stimulating a back
to-school movement.
The children's Bureau wants lob
opportunities for children. But it
complains they are operating dan
gerous machines, working during
school hours and late at night
because laws to protect them are
inadequate.
The Fair Labor Standards Act.
which marks its seventh anniversary
wednesday, applies only to children
IN industry producing for inter-
state commerce. Both houses of
Congress now are conducting hear
ings on a bill to extend its cover
age.
Besides prohibiting EMPLOYMENT
OF children in hazardous Jobs, the
act does not allow children under
16 to work during hours they legally
are required to attend school. The
Children's Bureau wants to set up
the same standards for all children.
1t is planning new drive for
passage of the child labor amend
ment to give Congress the power to
regulate child labor in intrastate
commerce. Only 16 of the 48 States
have set standards as high as the
Federal act.
Except for one provision, accord
ing to Mrs. Alice Sheldon, director
of the Districts department of
school attendance and work per-
mits, the District child labor law
sets the same standards as the Fed
eral act. She referred to the pro-
vision that children. who ~have fin
lshed the eighth grade and are IA
years old can be excused from school
to work. They cannot work, how
ever, until they are 16 in occupa-
tons covered by the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
Mrs. Sheldon said she had recon-
mended to the superintendent of
schools an amendment to the Dis
trict law which would require chill
dren to stay in school until they
are l6 and would make 16 mini
mum for all types of employment
during school hours, with few ex-
ceptions.

last minute. The airlines are ac-
cepting requests against that possi-
bility, and officials said that there is
q good chance that a substantial
number on the waiting list will be
satisfied.
Recent publicity regarding the
record breaking advance airline
booking since the discarding of the
priorities system has resulted in
some misunderstanding as to the
difflculty of getting about by air, it
was pointed out.
For example, although Eastern
airlines cannot Immediately confirm
a reservation to New York on a Fri
day afternoon for the rest of this
year, it is possible person on the
waiting list for any flight next Fri
day afternoon might get a seat.
Duplicate Booking Problem.
Similarly, If person told Amer
ican Airlines that he would take
the first available space to the West
Coast, he might take off the same
evening, although If he wanted ad-
vance confirmation of certain res
Evening star., 1945-10-22

ervation on a certain day he could
not get such a reservation prior to
two or three weeks from now.
Most airlines are requiring that
tickets be picked up from three to
eight hours in advance Of flight
time. The practice of duplicate
booking requesting reservations on
more than one line and taking the
first available-has contributed
greatly to the present reservation
snarl, 1t was explained.
