WAR DEBTS A VEXED PROBLEM
The American war debt policy is
the subject of a very illuminating
article, recently published In the New
York Times, the author being Gar
rard Winston, formerly an under sec
retary of the treasury.
It is interesting to note that Win
ston looks forward to a readjustment
of the debt long before their period
of payment has expired. The way
indicated is the Issue of negotiable
securities of the creditor nations,
which then wish to sell them for
cash. This, in turn, would mean the
distribution of these securities among
private investors. The process, of
caurse, would have to be slow, with
an eye to the capacity of the mar
ket to absorb them.
The next step 13 summarized as
follows: With cash realized from this
sale, war debtors could very well ap
proach the United States treatury
and suggest canceling future install
ments on the debt settlements by dis
count for cash. At reasonable cur
rent interest rates the discount
would reduce payments, for the
later years of the term, to quite at
tainable figures, and the menace of
a continuing burden on generations
not yet born would end.
Some such procedure would be a
whole lot more sensible step than to
comply with the idea of many that
the entire debts should be cancelled.
The money was loaned to the debtor
nations in good faith, and should be
repaid without making them bank
rupt. It has been argued that as
these millions are spent here while
we are still in involved in war we
really received the money right back
again through purchases of war ma
terial, etc. But it certainly was not
our quarrel in the beginning.
BUSINESS IN ELECTION YEARS
For a generation, comments Na
tion's Business Magazine, we have
had dinned in our ears the cry that
presidential years were bad for busi
ness. There seemed to be an assump
tion that men and women stop
ped eating and wearing clothes and
building houses to talk politics and
watch for something dire and dread
ful to happen after Election Day.
All of which is nonsense. Presi
dential years have been good and
bad like all other years. The Na
tional Industrial Conference board
has taken the available indices for
the presidential years from 1880 to
1924, inclusive, and finds this:
That business was above normal
throughout four of these years; pre
vailingly above normal in two; below
normay throughout four years and
prevailingly normal in the other two
In short there were four lean years
and four of plenty in the dozen.
while four were mixed, with two
tending to be good and two tending
to be bad.
And if you would apply politics
to the figures, it is easy to find a
year when a good Democrat was
elected president and business went
to pot.
But wait a minute! Here's an
other year when a good Republican
was elected and business also went
to pot.
If ever there was cause for fear
of presidential years that cause has
been dissipated.

dent because of his knowledge of

Schools Unfair
for Girls, Declares
Noted Speaker
Dr. Sarah Sturtevant, Columbia Uni
versity, Says That Advantages
Are for Boys.
A plea for a better high school
educational system for girls, on the
ground that the present system is
built around boys, was made before
the opening general session of the
state teachers' association at Omaha
Thursday by Dr. Sarah Strutevant,
associate professor of education at
Columbia university.
Dr. Strutevant charged, in sub
stance, that girl high school students
are not getting a square deal. She
pointed to athletics and a number of
other high school features, almost
exclusively for boys.
"Women have always been import
ant to civilization," she said. "It
has been well established that a civil
ization will never rise above its wom
anhood. I have no sympathy with
the theory that if woman gets some
thing, men will lose something.
Whatever benefits women get, men,
women and children will all benefit
alike.
Weather Cuts Attendance.
"Even foreign writers recognize
that the power in- America of wom
that is tremendous. Why, then, must
they be dragged along in an educa
tional system planned almost exclu
sively for boys? We've been develop
ing school buildings, administration
and education for boy9 long enough.
The time has come when more at
tention must be paid to the girl stu
dent. She has problems and complex
es, foreign to boys, which must be
studied and developed. Every high
school ought to have a woman on the
faculty who is an expert on the new
perplexing problems affecting girl
students."
Attendance at the convention un
doubtedly was held down consider
ably by bad weather and muddy
roads.
Dr. Henry Suzzallo, noted eastern
educator, who was to have been the
chief speaker at this morning's ses
sion, was unable to arrive in time,
due to a storm outstate which delay
ed his train. Dr. Sturtvart took his
place.
Build for Citizenship.
Another principal speaker was El
bert K. Fretwell, of the teachers' col
lege of Columbia university, and for
mer grand opera singer. Mr. Fret:
well spoke on "Practicing Citizen
ship in the Public Schools" and said
in part: "Pupils are citizens here
and now, with rights, duties, privil
eges and obligations. What they do
tomorrow is largely determined by
the kind of citizens they are today.
Teacher Tenure Law.
Substituting for Superintendent
Beveridge of the Omaha schools, E
M. Hosman of Lincoln, secretary of
the state teachers association, dis
cussed the principles of teacher en
ure and a retirement system for
teachers.
"We can't expect any reform, for
not only the benefit of the teaching
profession but for the educational
system as a whole, until the evils
of the present system are fully un
masked," said Mr. Hosman. "A
teacher with an Indefinite tenure can
do more to counteract antisocial
tendencies than a whole army of
bluecoats. She is accorded respect.
Her Influence for good is cumulative
as the years pass."
The senior Glee clubs of Central
high school, totaling about 175 pu
pils under direction of Carol Mar
hoff Pitts, sang five numbers. Dr
Fretwell, as a musician, said he nev
er heard their equal in a high school
singing organization.
