CHAMBER Of
MEETS AT $3.50
TOMORROW NIGHT

AO44S4L4L0W N4\1114
The st. Croix Chamber of
Commerce will convene in the
District Courtroom in Chris
tiansted tomorrow night, Mar.
8, at $50. One of the main
items on the agenda will be
that of organizing a Mer-
chants Committee.
Such a committee would be
able to handle matters of vital
concern to all business people
and would study the griev-
ances of members, assist in
working out their problems
and generally do more good
for that part of the business
element than one person
.singly. This committee, work
ing as a body, .coordinating
their work under the Cham
Der, should become one of the
most important parts of the
Chambers activity. It is there
fore of utmost Importance that
in the beginning, the Import
ers, who represent the largest
body of retail and wholesale
business organizations in Saint
Croix should take the lead and
eventually every retail, whole
sale and importing firm in the
Island would become a mem
Der.
Other topics to come up for
discussion will be the extreme
ly high lN Penalty Trade Tax
Clause, the differential in
price of cigarettes and liquors
as compared with st. Thomas
and the conditions of roads
and streets as they affect bust
ness establishments.
Every importer has been
sent an individual invitation
to attend the meeting, and it
is anticipated that none will
fail to attend, and since the
problems to be discussed and
the future activity of this Com
mittee will be Of financial con-
Germ to each one.

Editorial
THE EDUCATIONAL SURVEY

THE EDUCATIONAL SURVEY
THESE ISLANDS are now in the middle of a survey in
the field Of education which could be the turning point Of
much the future holds. It is conceded that in any democracy
education is by far the most important factor. People must
know to think for themselves; they must rule and govern
themselves; and they must be able to make important deci-
sions, and only through education can this be done. People in
a democracy must know right from wrong and be able to sit
the chaff from the wheat.
BUT THERE is something else which education pro-
vides, and that is the means to a livelihood, In order for that
education to be effective it must provide the type of prepare
ton which citizens can use in developing better and more
productive lives. And once this is done the community as a
whole is improved, as is the standard of living.
H SURVEY now being made in these Islands can be
just another survey, or it can provide a beneficial plan to be
used through the years. In making this survey the members
Of the committee will of course take tt. heart the real prob
lens, and many Of these are behind the scenes-the kind
which does not meet the eye at first glance. All phases Of life
must be covered-social economic and political.
o past thirty two years there has been a stab
at the American form Of education, but sorry to say, that
form has not been fully carrie d out, and as a result many of
our people have been slow to warm to that system. It is really
not the true American system that has been installed OF car
ried out, but at attempt to superimpose a method which is
not quite fitted to local conditions, and as a result the misfit
has been all too apparent. What this survey should show is
the type which could and should best be applied, and once
that is done many of the grave problems will have been
solved.
UNFORTUNATELY, local education has provided but
a fair portion Of tn. three Rs and SO our high school gradu-
ates, those who can afford it, must head for colleges on the
mainland. But what of the number who cannotp How are
they equipped to step out of the classroom and make a living
for themselves? The need is very clear. There is no question
but that vocational education h as not received the attention it
sAould. It would be well if this survey could show the need
