PLAIN AND FANCY EDUCATION7
Morals and ethics must be taught
somewhere, mainly by example, pe--haps.
Pos.-ibly the schoolroom is iin
proper plae. for their inculcation.
Morals and ethic art- so important
that it would be a brave person
who objected to their being made i
schoolroom subject. And yet there
should be some room left in our
public school curriculum for read
ing, spelling and mathematics. Whc"
a university graduate frankly ad
mits that he can't spell, that lie
can't do hard sums in long division
without errors, that he can't write
with assurance as to his gramaticv.l
construction, one is obliged to won
der what iii the heck he went to
school for and why he wasted so
much time in the pursuit of some
thing whic'i he had no prospect of
overtaking. There U such an exag
gerated id '.'.i of the value, public aid
personal, sf higher education, and
such a mistaken sen:;? of proportion
as between common knowledge and
uncommon knowledge that there are
times wh-:-n it looks ;ts is our very
costly an 1 somewhat complicated
public school sy.-tem has dressed it
self up without having anywhere to
go.
:o:
THE UNPARDONABLE LAW
P.ishop Thomas F. fiailor. of Ten
nessee, was preeminently correct
when he -said "the writing into oir
constitution of the eighteenth
amendment v as unpardonable." The
Episcopalian Bishop, who is well
known and appreciated, expressed
the concensus of opinion at least of
the wets and one largely shared by
the drys.
The pass. ige f the dry law at th?
wrong time and its sweeping restric
tions are not in accord with the
American idea of legislation and
rights in the homes.
Only the other day the Prohibi
lion C-ommi'isioncr was in New VorK
holding a council of var again-t
the bootlegger. Numerous ships are
smuggling whiskey Into the states.
A continual stream of liquor car
rier are pouring across the Canadian
border. Into states where field men
are available, moonshining is going
on and bootlegging is engaged in
practically every community. Yet
the Volstead act has been in effect
for almost two years.
As well attempt to stem the tide
of the Niagara Falls with a mill
creek dam as to attempt to prohi
bit the sale of liquor by law. Far
safer to the drinkers if good red li
quor can '03 purchased legally at a
reasonable price than the traffic in
lye-cleared moonshine which is has
tening many a man to the grave af
ter he has been gouged by the "corn
profiteers."
Bishop Gailor was right. The dras
tic provisions of the law have earn ed
the American public to chafe. Ii
was passed at the time an industrial
unrest was at white heat. It does not
prohibit.

it was said because of the concen

this time to finance only grain,
whereas in the long run cotton, to

already arranged for state financing
corporatiens. while Nebraska and
Minnesota farmers are considering
F.imiliar action. Assuming that oth
