Life Purpose
Is sNecessury.
By Angelo Potri

A purpose is a steadying, sus-
tanning influence of anybody's life
and children need to have that
influence. It will hold their in
terest on the task in hand and
1t will help them to develop
stronger and more lasting quail
ties in their characters.
Trying to get anything done
without distinct purpose is sheer
waste of time and effort. It is
like being on treadmill. running
hard to stay in the same place.
That is why children should be
helped, early in their school lives,
to set purpose for their learning.
For little child a gold star at
the close of a successful day is
purpose enough. The middle
graders are content to earn high
ratings. Children of junior high
school age. high school pupils,
college students, should have a
purpose. and that purpose should

surer as the years pass.
Ask the usual junior high
school pupil why he is getting an
education and his reply is likely
to be vague. That is understand
able. He has had little experience
to enlighten him as to his abili-
ties or to develop his tastes. BY
the end of Junior high school,
however. he should have some
clearer purpose in view and so
choose his high-school course with
a definite end in mind.
The high-school student cer-
tainly should know why he goes
to school, what courses he should
take and what college or techni-
cal schools they will admit him to,
and not blunder along until he is
graduated only to discover that
he has no place to 60. That has
happened.
Children should be encouraged

he enters college he should be well
started on the way to his lifework
Some young people develop
slowly. They reach college en-
trance without having formed any
purpose for going to college.
These students should be exposed
to as many and as varied expert
ences as possible during their
junior high school career in the
hope that some one experience
there will awaken latent ability.
That program should be continued
for such students until they Cis-
cover their bent. Until then the
best they can do is the general
cultural courses which all students
take.
But we must always keep in
mind that education without q
definite purpose is a waste Of
precious time, of life itself.

Existing Procedure Outdated.
Parity" somewhat mys-

This would take into account

A 1904 base period now is

The changing complexion OF the

New Farm Parity Bill
May Go 10 House for
Debate This Week
By Chris Mothisen

The House is scheduled to eX-
anime closely this week the newest
scheme for keeping the farmer
prosperous "a sharply altered
concept of the parity" principle.
A bill which would change the
mechanics of computing price
support payments keyed to parity
will be brought to the floor during
the week if the Rules Committee
clears it in time. 1t already has
the approval of the Agriculture
Committee.
The legislation represents the
first effort to enact into law por-
tions of the broad program which
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
thinks would provide relative long
range stability for the Nation
agricultural economy.
Single Formula Held Inadequate
In recommending passage o1
the bill, the Agriculture Commit
tee admitted it had become con-
vinced that no single plan, no one
method of supporting prices, nc
one program for producing enough
but not too much, can bring about
the desired results"
In general, the bill awaiting
House action would establish s
new formula for calculating parity
prices, continue price supports a
approximately the present level
and authorize the Secretary of Ag'
riculture to make a trial on M
more than three commodities o
the production payment methot
of supporting prices.
Under existing law he will hav
authority to use the production
payment method on an unreStrict
ed number of commodities as o
January l. 1850.
The direct payments to farmers
as distinguished from Fedora
purchasing to bolster the marke
price, may be the best method II
