not in ours" he assured me.
The Japan Teachers Union has
been conducting a survey of the
scholastic ability of the present
generation students and papers
have. from time to time, been pub
fishing partial results of this re-
search study. The Japan Teachers
Union seems to be of the opinion
that the scholastic level of the
postwar child is dangerously below
that of the prewar child, that the
younger generation is "going to
the dogs. That sounds familiar,
doesn't it?)
However, Mr. Hashimoto did not
hare this view. He conceded that
from the point of view of knowing
more Chinese characters and what
year a certain emperor had reigned
md when he died, the present-day
children run very poor second.
On the other hand, the students
being educated under the entirely
new system are much more inqui-
live. have much more thinking
ability and are better able to express
their own opinions. In other words,
they are individuals rather than re-
yimented automatons. Democratical-
ly-minded persons will readily ag-
rec that this is a very healthy sign,
conducive to the blind obedi-
ence which led to the last war.
Subject matter taught in the
schools has changed drastically
with geography and history no
longer being taught as separate
subjects. Instead, they are incor-
porated into the equivalent of civ
les, where students study histori-
ca. and geographical facts in re-
lation to their daily lives. For in
stance, they plot the position Of

nearest railway system and even
go down to the station masters
office to find out how many pas
sengers and how much freight is
carried each day.
This has resulted in the students
having a much more lively interest
in their school work, and later when
I visited the school rooms I found
the students, from tiny tots to six
graders, listening to their teachers
or working on individual projects
with expectant faces.
Education now is recognized as
something that is not only academic

Measure Approval
Would Aid People
In Our Area
BY JIM EGAN

The biggest factor in winning ad-
ditiondl low-rent housing for Seattle
will be getting the people interested
n going to the polls in large mum
bers on Tuesday March IA, Chair
man Joseph S Kane of the Seattle
Citizens Housing Committee poin-
cd oct this week.
The more people who vote for
Referendum No. 3. the low-rcnt
housing proposal, the surer victory
is likely to be, Kane said.
Every resident of the Jackson
Street area and neighboring terri
tory is aware of the urgent need of
better living accommodations to re-
place the poor housing now offered
to low income families
The program of building 1921 new
units, that would be launched by
passage of the referendum, is of vital
interest to Japanese veteran families
and all Oriental families earning
less than $45 week
These new housing units would
be open TO all families in need on
non discriminatory, non-segre-
gational basis, as is the case at
Yesler Terrace.
The building OF 1921 units also
would require the vacating or razing
of 1,22l units of Stun housing and
Substandard abodes; either that, OF
the bringing up of substandard
dwellings to decent standards.
The necessity of supporting Re-
terendum No 3 by big vote was
stressed by Kane, since low-rent
housing is being opposed by inter
ests endeavoring to destroy the pub
lie housing program.
This opposition is active and vi
cious in Seattle, Kane warned. 1t is
spending money on big billboards
and through other channels. Efforts
are being made to confuse and mis-
lead the public, to block the low
rent program by fair means or foul.
The Seattle Chamber of Com
merce apparently at the diction of
realty groups, has opposed the de-
cent housing program. even though
it means a $10000,000 investment
here, and a large step forward in
human betterment.
That is why the families, and
the friends of families who would
benefit by additional lOw-rent
housing must go to the polls on
March Ia, Kane indicated.
The larger the majority in favor
of Referendum No. 3. he said, the
more likely IL is to cheCkmate posi-
BILE future onslaughtS on the pro-
gram
Victory by a close majority would
encourage the opposition TO further
attempts to hinder the low rent pro-
gram
II is necessary for lOw-rent
housing supporters to vote on
March ID. regardless Of weather.
If the people in the areas that
need low income housing most stay
at home, low rent housing may be
set back for wears here in Seattle
Kane concluded.

MaSkitis In Sheep

Mastitis, a common udder intAe-

some in sheep. A veterinary med
ical bulletin reports that as many
as 20 per cent of the affected ewes
in some flocks die from this disease.
In addition, some lambs die be-

nurse them. The trouble usually
comes on rapidly. High fever,
rapid breathing, and loss of APP

believed that large lambs which
nurse roughly may injure the I'D

avenue are a $10,000,000 a year
business, it was revealed here at
public hearing on this taxi SER
vice.
This and other facts about the
Negro enterprise which operates
technically on an illegal basis
were brought out at hearings
conducted by the mayors jitney
fact finding committee.
Out of the meeting came a con-
crete suggestion to legalize the
jitney business as a zone project.
At present the jitneyS operate at
Is cents per passenger on a
straight route with increased
prices for turnoffs.
Under a proposal by Sidney A.
Jones Jr., attorney for the Taxi
cab Owners association, defend
ers of the cabs, the cabs would
operate down certain streets in
zones for set rates. Outside this
area they would operate on the
meter as do other taxis.
Failure to operate on the met
er as the cabs do now has made
them illegal.
According to Jones' report on
the cab operation, the association
members run 364 cabs carrying
1885, riders daily. They support
10000 families.
