TEACHER EJ POLITICS
CALLED PUBLIC ENEMY
It is a matter of common knowl
edge to a number of persona that a
group cf teachers-in-the-Detfoit pub
lic schools have entered politics and
are attempting to direct the nomin
ation of two certain candidates for
the beard of education at the coming
primary;
Some among theso politically ac
tive employes of the city'3 education
al system are highly placed and there
can ba no question that they know
perfectly well' the mischievous and
unethical character cf their enter
prise. Moreover, the fact that this
prenicious activity, while known to
members cf the board of education
and high executives, goe3 unpunish
ed i3 sufficient proof that politics
Las, to a certain extent, thu3 entered
into the teaching ranks of the school
cystem; otherwise! these political
busybodie3 would be dealt with in the
short order they merit.
There was a time in the history
cf Detroit when the public school
system was putrid with politics. The
story of the cleansing i3 one of the
drama.-; of the community's narra
tives. But for many yeare past the
school system was free cf all this re
pulsive intrigue and the system pro
posed and became recognized as
among the very finest in this coun
try. The efforts to build up a political
clique within the school system and,
through it, utilize the Parent-Teacher
associations and parents generally
for the purpose of dominating the
board of education by the obvious
method of placing eelected stalking
Lorsea on that body, need bo carefully
watched by the public. The parents
of children in Detroit'3 schools need
to be warned that any effort to con
centrate their interest on any two
rpcciSc candidates to the exclusion of
other candidates, including the pres
ent cchocl inspectors, is, on the face
cf it, a conspiracy sufficiently sinister
to justify their suspicion.
There is no single thing so im
portant to the fathers and mothers
of Detroit r.s the purity of the school
cysten. Its efficiency can rest only
on the basis of a loyal, competent
teaching Etaff which ' devotes itself
exclucively to the high purpose for
which it was formed. Teachers, no
matter ho whigh tbey stand, who
either intrigue for position and pre
ferment through political manipula
tion, or, with larger and more omin
ous purpose, aim at controlling the
very government cf education in this
community, ara public enemies. If
those in authority find it difficult to
deal with such .a ctuation the par
ents, for their own good, should eee
to it that the conspiracy is sterile.

WON WAY BY GIVING
HONORABLE SERVICE
Though the circumstances under
whiCrhiago'.lanieated mayor re
ceived his death wound, his noble
words after he was stricken and his
brave bearine: during the days of
physical agony that followed, natur
ally aroused the sympathy and ad
miration of the world, the peculiar
worth of that strong man as shown
in his public career did most to in
spire general regret that he lost his
gallant fight. For-he was an' out
standing example of an official who
worked tirelessly on behalf of the
people from whom he received his
delegated power. His' work was fruit
ful because he possessed the rare
quality of successful leadership. Be
cause he labored with singleness of
purpose, no pride of opinion, no lack
of readiness to co-operate with oth
ers, crippled his effectiveness or chill
ed the enthusiasm of those who labor
ed with him. The important thing,
he realized, was to get results.
It would be unfortunate if the les
son of Mayor Cermak's success as a
public executive and political leader
should be lost upon other men in of
fice. His conception of official service
was that it must justify itself by its
achievements. Mere timo serving
made no appeal to him. As president
of the county board and later as may
or of Chicago he engaged persistent
ly in progressive labors. Ill condi
tions in local government were to
him opportunity to serve the citizens
by ciir.inating or ameliorating those
conditions. His hard common sense,
his hatred of inefficiency and waste,
drove him on in the face of formid
able obstacles of the kind that habit
ually daunt -weaker and less intelli
gent me nin political life.
The man to whose memory Chi
cago pays signal honor at this time
won his way to leadership only
through long years or service to the
people. His way the sort of success
that may be traced by milestones of
achievement in the public interest.
That is the sort which endures hon
orably in the people's memories and
In the records of human progress.
It 13 the sort that restores wavering
faith . in popular government when
that faith is shaken by the blunder
ing cf pretentious dolts and gaudy
demagogues whom voters mistakeniy
clothe with power.
Men Intrusted with leadership
must lead with strength and courage,
or they will spread misfortune and
become contemptible. Anton Cermals
was well aware of that. Unhappily,
many men in places of power never
learn what the Immigrant boy who
became mayor of Chicago seems in
stinctively to" have known. Chicago

M-AT.r, HOME EXPERTS
The home economics faculty of the
University of Nebraska, the Daily
Nebraskan reports, is co-operating in
sponsoring a new class, a study of
the home, for men. The class open
ed with six lectures on home beauti
fying and will continue with other
groups of lectures by other members
of the staff. These Include a series
on child and adult nutrition, home
equipment, child care and develop
ment and finally, social and family
relationship. One of the projects In
volved is a visit to the nursery 6Chool
to make observations. The course is
described as a bird'3 eye view of the
regular four years of home economics
taken by girls. It is intended to give
men an idea of what it is to manage
a home.
Fads of this kind have been started
in other schools and havo obtained
some publicity. Just why they should
receive such attention is not quite
clear. Perhaps it i3 the male's de
fense against the growing ascendancy
of the female. When a woman can go
out and make a living for the fam
ily, it Is perhaps as well that the
husband be able to manage the house
hold. But what would the course be
without pictures in the papers? Few
college men are interested enough in
preparing themselves for a home life
that meets the requirements set by
home economists in colleges to go
thru a series of lectures on home
decoration, nutrition and how to take
care of babies.
It is true that it would not hurt a
mant to know something about home
decoration and management. If a
man is sincerely interested he should
take a course in the subject. It is
unfair to the girls to make them
take a four year course in order to
equip themselves as home managers
and let a man get thru with a one
semester, bird's eye view.
And finally, pity the poor wife of
a man who has had this sketchy
training. Day after day she would
have to put up with advice and criti
cism from this man of the gird's eye
view. Wives get enough advice on
home management, child training and
nutrition and other domestic prob
lems, without having a pseudo-expert
in the house to goad them turther.

OUR EX-PRESIDENT
. 1 - .
Somebody remarked the. other -day
that the smile on Hoover's face, noted
as : he rode with Roosevelt . down
Pennsylvania avenue, was caused by
information just imparted that Roose
velt had . not caught all of the. fish
in the sea. Hoover had planned a
fishing trip. A few minute3 after
that smile was seen Hoover became
this country's only living ex-prsi-dent,
free to go and do as he liked,
free from official care and worry, but
nevertheless much concerned as to
the future of the country he had
srfved. One writer says the moment
he became a private citizen he con-
plated the world from a viewpoint no
other living American has known.
He was an ex-president.
' Hoover, at hi3 age and with his
correct living rules, should be active
for many years yet, but the fact re
mains that few cx-presidents have
lived long after leaving office. How
much tho strain weakened the man
may not be known. The presidency
kills. It saps human vitality. Men
leave the life of high tension when
heir terms end and begin a life where
they alone order their movements and
mode of living. Many expected Cool
idgo to live long. His avoidance of
excitement, his frugal manner cf liv
ing, his methodical life, should have
kept him from the harm of high men
tal tension and the heavy load of re
sponsibility, but it did not. Wood-
row. Wilson left the office a sick man,
weary and worn, and yet he outlived
his ill-fated successor. T&ft tarriea
for 'years, still serving. Theodore
Roosevelt's career was not ended with
office, yet he should havo lived long
er. Looking over tho list of presi
dents the conclusion 13 reached that
their careers did not continue long.
When they left office they left most
of life behind.
After the presidency, what? That
question dees net deter men who
would serve, does not stifle ambitions,
does not keep men from offering
themselves on the altar of service.
Human mechanism will stand much
punishment, but the punishment men
in high executive positions must take
does shorten existence. Lincoln

COME ON, WORLD!
The nation goes back to normal
business today after an enforced fi
nancial holiday probably little the
worse for the experience, and per
haps in the long run vastly benefited
In the possession of a newer and
calmer perspective view of the prob
lems the long-extended economic dis
turbance has accumulated for us.
Feeling refreshed and encouraged
as we do after our' banking vacation,
it is only natural we should look
around and regret' that others can't
share it, too, and'hpply it to some of
their other policies that are sadly in
need of a holiday? Who' is there but
feeds that if the Japanese would only
pause'a'few ilayxlri 'their mad chase
of the Chinese ""southward from the
Great Wall, perhaps they, as well as
the Chinese and tthe observing gen
tlemen at Geneva-, would feel vastly
relieved. Or if the diplomatic gen
tlemen at Rom "and Berlin and Pari3
"who do the talklngt. for their respec
tive constituents' i would declare a
brief moratorium On international in
sult and intrigue, could they not
bend their 'energies toward other
tasks and still feel they were doing
their duty? Or oven if the geologi
cal structures under the sunkissed
slopes of Southern California, now
that they have shifted to a presum
ably moro comfortable position,
would decide to stay that way for 100
year3 or so, our general peace of
mind would be much more genuine.
Perhaps, however, wo are trail
ing a false assumption. It may be
that continued peace and well bci
ing are as intolerable to a well-bred
Japanese or an educated Latin Eu
ropean as an extended financial
stringency is to an American busi
ness man. Maybe ten or twelve years
of attending to one's own business is
about" all human nature can be ex
pected to stand, and then peace get3
n Vinlirlrjv. In that Case, there IS
nothing more to be done except as 13
customary with holidays and mora
toriums to enjoy them as much as
vc can and hope they'll bo over as
scon as possible.

A Hitler minister in the new Ger

ably are just a little homelier than
most other nudists, even.
BACK TO THE FARM
. We have heard a great deal of
talk about tho "back to the farm"
movement and we have been some
what skeptical about a good deal of
it. But some actual facts disclosed
by the report of the President's Re
search Committee on Social Trends
show that there has been a very def
inite movement of population from
the town and cities back to the farm
since the present depression began.
Investigators report that the farm
population of the United States is to
day a3 great as It ever was. It had
reached its peak in 1910 and then
began to decline, but has been in
creasing steadily in the past three
years. More than ten thousand men
who have gone back to the farm from
tho cities and large towns in the
past two years were asked why they
made the move. Sixteen per cent of
them said they could save more
money on the farm, 14 per cent felt
that city work was too uncertain and
too hard, 10 per cent liked the inde
pendence of farm life, 20 per cent dis
liked the city, 20 per cent said the
city was not a fit place in which to
rear children and that they had re
turned to tho farm for the sake of
health and better all around living
conditions.
Naturally, most of tho families
who leave the cities for the farm
are thoso who were brought up in
the country. City folks without any
rural background are likely to have a
pretty hard time of it in making a
living at farming. But nearly 13 per
cent of those who have migrated to
the land lately were city people with
out any previous farm experience,
and many of thesa are reported to
be doing very well.
We have always believed that the
only real stability for the average
citizen is in having his own land un
der his feet, that tho only people
who are reasonably sure cf a living,
regardless of general economic condi
tions, are those who got their own
living from the soil. But when good
times come again, watch the young
sters rush, from the farci3 to the fac
tories!
:o:
WASTING TALENT IN
THE MOVIE STUDIOS
One of the most constructive criti
cisms directed at the American mo
tion picture industry as conducted by
the. present . Hollywood regime con
cerns its deplorable waste of artistic
talent. Wholly aside from the many
able writers, actors, and othsr artists
and technicians v. ho are or were
before the economic bubbla burst
maintained on the pay roll without
being required to do anything for
their money there is wasteful use of
the artists and technicians who actu
ally are used.
For example, consider Charles
Laughton. Mr. Laughton in England
Droved himself to be an actor of
great ability. Strictly speaking, he
is not a stage "type," but a real actor,
capable of portraying artistically
many dissimilar dramatic types. Un
fortunately hiz first important role
in Hollywood pictures wa3 that of
a mentally unbalanced man. He
played the part with consummate
artistry better, perhaps, than a role
of that typa ever has been played
on tho American screen. The per
formance attracted immediate atten
tion throughout the country. The re
sult is that, do far as the movie-go
ing public i3 concerned, Mr. Laugh
ton will be crazy henceforth forever.
Already he l:zs appeared in several
other "insanity" roles, all of which
he has handled well. Doubtless the
producers .wll continue to cast him
aa a "nut" until the fans also go
insane. The desire cf thousands cf
theatergoers to see Lira show his
artistry in other rcles apparently is
doomed to disappointment.
Other abla mclioa picture actors
and actree3 havo suffered similar
suppression cf their talsnt3. There
are, for inctar.ee, Charles Ruggles,
the perennial tippler; Zasu Pitts, the
inevitable think - blank: Wallace
Beery, post-graduato prizo fighter;
George Arilrs, tha man who makes
great men famous. Tliese and other
Hollywood artists have talent that
certainly cculd adjust itself to new
mold3 if cvcn the opportunity.
That the opportunity is not given
must be hlcmed, of course, on the
"boxoffico" viewpoint. Producers in
Hollvwoo.1 aro firm believers in
"playing a geed t'-iir.S" to the limit,
and, in a way, no one can blame them
for taking In their money if and when
it's in s!sht. Nevertheless, it s a
lamcntablo practico from the artis
tic standpoint and probably la poor
business in tho long run. It's a great
deal like uelng a thousand-dollar bill
only as a bechmark because it makes
such an excellent bookmark. Cedar
