Sweet Harmony.
Wicked Bob La Follelte.
The K. K. K. Brand
Japans Hate Day.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
v__/
Everything is harmony in the
political camps, at least on the out
side. Everybody love* everybody
else, and will work to elect him.
Defeated candidates are pleased
with their defeats and pray for the
men that beat them.
Just how Americans of Catholic
faith feel about the religious fight
in the democratic convention re
mains to he seen.
Many feel that Catholics hitherto
voting the democratic ticket may
decide *o rebuke that religious in
tolerance at the polls. But party
loyalty and political habit are
strong, and annoyances are soon
forgotten.
If A1 Smith runs for governor,
doing what he can to help Davis
carry New York state, and putting
into the campaign the liberal fund
that his friends always raise for
him, it will indicate that Catholic
voters hold no grudge.
La Follette’s choice of a vice
presidential candidate is puzzling
him and his friends. It’s amazing
how few among 112,000,000 names
can be mentioned that would add
strength to a ticket—any ticket.
Few men in these days of money
f collecting do anything that has any
real meaning for their fellow citi
zens. Justice Brandeis would add
100 per cent to the strength of any
ticket. But he would not leave his
important work.
Today a celrygyman of Berke
ley, near Detroit, is found after
several days’ absence, dazed, un
able to give an account of himself,
with the letters K. K. K. branded
on his back.
There will be much excitement
about that, although at this writing
nothing is known of the case
beyond the statement that Rev.
Oren Vanloom was not hostile to
the Ku Klux Klan and had, on the
contrary, made them welcome to
his church.
The klan suggests that he was
lured away and branded by the
klan’s enemies to injure the klan.
“The Japanese will seeK to shift
trade from the United States to
Mexico.” That is revenge for our
law against Asiatic immigration.
Let the trade shift. This country
will not resent it.
Whatever helps any part of the
continent helps us. Eventually,
the Japanese, who exclude the
Chinese most vigorously from
Japan, will take a different view
of our laws. They will realize that
we really own the United States
and are not holding the land in
trust until the day when Asia shall
_ decide to overrun it.
A religious paper, the Christian
Century, is worried because the
Japanese have set a national “hate
day,” devoted to teaching Japanese
children to hate the United States,
because of a national insult. Says
the religious paper: “There will
be a good many Americans who will
hardly feel proud that the course
of their nation, for whatever cause,
has given birth to such a day of
direful portent.”
It is not as bad as all that. Guy
Fawkes day in England does not
mean much now, although they do
explore the house of commons once
a year for gunpowder. And the
Germans taught us, according to
super-heated patriotism, that
hymns or days of hate do not pay.
Anyhow, between having little
Japanese boys and girls taught to
hate us, and having those little
boys and girls the future owners
of the United States, this country
will choose the “hate,” much as
we deplore it.
United States athletes have se
cured the track and field cham
pionship in the Olmpic games.
Those are the most important
events, since they indicate posses
sion of the most intense nervous
and mental concentration.
Running, jumping, etc., mean
nothing now except as they indicate
brain and nerve power behind the
record. This mixed race of ours,
which is not a “Nordic” race, a
Latin race, a Semitic or Celtic race,
is doing as mixed races have done
for centuries, in Greece, Rome,
France, England—beating races
^ that have allowed the breed to stag
nate.
The importance of caring for the
eyes and teeth of school children
has been emphasized here an’d in
1,000 other places within a year.
Usually you are told that i^ is no
part of the taxpayer’s duty to care
for the eyes and teeth of other
men’s children.
But if taxpayers teach the chil
dren, why not protect their health?
Here's a better argument for the
taxpayer. It is shown that defec
tive eyesight adds #130,000,000 a
year to the cost or public school
education. If spending ten, or
fifty millions a year on the chil
dren’s health would cut $130,000,
000 from annual taxes, the tax
payers would not object.
Wealth, meaning private wealth,
does not pay for the public schools,
as you know. The parents of pub
lic school children have the cost of
their education added to the rent
they pay, and to the cost of living.
Intelligent private wealth always
knows how to shift the burden.
Punishing the wicket bootlegger
and rum runner is a complicated
task. Rum runners rush through
the dark waters in the night, with
no lights burning. Police Lieut.
Dennis Glavin decided to fight the
devil with his own fire. So he put
all the lights out on his police boat
and went hunting rum runners.
The captain of the United States
revenue cutter Surveyor thought
he knew a "dark” rum runner at
sight, so he fired on the darkened
police boat and shot Lieutennnt
Glavin.

Council Moves to
Acquire Property
for River Drive
Condemnation Proceedings
Recommended Against
Land Tracts on Pro
posed Scenic Road.
. e
Another step toward occomplish
ment of the proposed river drive
and parkway has been taken by city
council committee of the whole, in
the recommendation for passage of
an ordinance for condemnation and
acquirement of various tracts of land
In the southern and northern sections
of the city.
The land to be acquired will cost
approximately $200,000, according to
an estimate furnished by City Com
missioner Joseph Koutsky of the
public improvements department.
Appraisers will he appointed, and
their report will be followed by an
other ordinance for the submission of
a bond issue at the November elec
tion, the proceeds of the bonds to be
used in payment of the property ac
quired.
“I think Omaha Is now ready to
consider this proposition,” said Com
missioner Koutsky. "The longer we
postpone this the more it will cost.
We should preserve these beauty
spots."
The plans prepared by the city
planning board show that the river
drive on the south will connect Man
dan, Spring Rake and Rivervlew
parks. It is proposed to acquire a
tract of 20 acres on the west side of
Mandan park and a tract of 80 acres
extending half a mile north of Man
dan park and bounded on the west by
Thirteenth street.
From Twenty-third and Reed
streets, the new drive will be a con
tinuation of Florence boulevard, ex
tending through the Florence pump
ing station grounds and thence along
the river road. It is proposed to
acquire a tract of woods at the north
ern city limits, this to be held for use
in development of the park system.
HERE’S FABLE OF
BOYLES STUDENT
"Now there's Jack—I have been
observing his work," said the head
of a big business house. "He le am
bitious and is bound to attain a higher
place in business. We are always in
need of bright and efficient young
men and it is a pleasure to advance,
them. Jack came to us from Boyles
college, where he learned shorthand
and bookkkeeping. This put him in
-the way of learning our business rap
idly. He dug into things and seemed
determined to learn to be more effi
cient. He soon became Indispensable.
He mad* opportunities by supplant
ing other young men who were slow
and heedless. Ha doeen't wait for op
portunities to coma but ha created an
active demand for hla abilltiea.
"There are duda in every business
office and the manager Is always
ready to supplant them with live
wires. In the summer school of
Boyles college there are scores of
young men and women working hard
to prepare themselves to be efficient
clerks and stenographers. The sum
mer weather this year has been most
favorable for school work and these
young folks are taking advantage
of it. Students may enter Boyles col
lege any Monday of tha year.

Luther College at Wahoo, Neb., Is Molder of Character
and Ideals Into Lives of Civic Leaders of State

Wahoo, July 14.—Nebraska has
many manufacturing plants, turning
out valuable products. Boast Is made
of the great packing houses, foun
dries, sugar factories and other
plants that work raw material Into
the finished product.
But the greatest manufacturing
plants are the educational Institu
tions that take raw human material,
the plastic mind of youth, and work
It over Into the finished product of
good citizenship.
The great universities have thslr
place In the great educational scheme,
but educators are coming to believe
the smaller college, wherein Indi
vidual Instruction and oversight are
possible. Is better fitted to build char
acter and self-reliance and sound
citizenship.
A little more than 40 years ago a
band of Christian citizens of Nebraska
conceived the Idea of a college where
in their sons and daughters might
not only rscelve a Christian educa
tion, but at the same time become
Imbued with the Ideals of thrift and
frugality.
A majority of these pioneers had
come from across the Atlantic, seek
ing wider fields of opportunity. They
brought with them the home-building
Instinct, the devout spirit and a desire
to progress spiritually as well as
financially. They dreamed of a near
by college of their own, and dream
ing they set about doing. The result
is the splendid educational institu
tlon at Wahoo, Neb., known as Luther
college.

Luther college, established in 1883
as Luther academy, is denomination

erans. The first school year saw a
total enrollment of 35.
It was from this small beginning
that Luther college has grown to Its
splendid proportlans. In 1909 the
name was changed to Luther college,
when an advanced normal course
was Introduced,
From an enrollment of SB In lilt
to an enrollment of approximately
300 In 1923 tells the story of progress.
Christian citizenship has been the
aim. The missionary .spirit haa been
cultivated, and graduates of Luther
college have gone forth by scores to
carry on the work of the Master. Its
graduates are found among all the
trades and professions In the central
west, and wherever they are they are
continually promoting the Interests of
their alma mater.

May T offer jn lieu of the customary remarks on the type of school and its future
hopes, some definite facts and results as proved by the following
excerpts from the letters of satisfied parents.
_—Chrlstel Fay Pratt.
Your system creates within the child a desire
to learn and consequently a pride in his work.
T wish that I could express In writing the keen
satisfaction and great appreciation which I feel
for your school. Its excellent method of impart
ing to boys and girls the things which they should
know has quite won my heart. When my daugh
ter renches home, radiantly happy over each day's
work, I know that she is in the right school.
Each pupil’s ability is recognised, and his de
sire to learn is encouraged, thus making possible
the highest mental attainment. My son has been
given heart and a real interest in his studies,
both afforded him by the instruction which he
has received, guided, as it has been, by the intel
ligent understanding of his personal needs.
As I have looked on. I have wondered if the
criticism of private schools is justified. If all
private schools had your aim and ideal—namely,
the teaching of each pupil to think for himself—
criticism would not ha justified. Individual in
struction, In Its best sense, means this. It does
not mean teaching a child in such a manner that
he will always be dependent on help.
In some schools the speed of the classroom
work is necessarily harsh and unfair. It is the
result of crowded conditions. It is manifestly
impossible for one teacher to keep track of fifty
children’s wandering minds in every subject
every day. I may be mistaken, but it seems to
me that in your school the amount of work done
l In a given time is greater, because each child
understands the ground covered and is not left
submerged in a fog of badly assimilated farts.
The boys and girls fortunate enough to have in
dividual Instruction have a fair chance to de
velop strong mentality.
I nope your school will continue to prosper,
for I feel that you are trying to give my three
children what they most need, not only in school
work, but in life, an intelligent ability to think
for themselves. -- i
It gave mo great pleasure to attend the clos- I
in* exercises of “our" school and to see the well
rounded classwork of the scholars.
I have nothin* hut praise for the school. A
pupil who completes the course has a firm foun
dation for college and we are delighted to have
our daughter numbered among your high school
graduates. Her work has been very thorough
and we appreciate all that you and her excellent
teacher have done for her.
Today. I received a letter from Milton Acad
emy, Milton, Mass., telling me that my son has
passed the examinations for the fifth form with
honor in I.atin and English. Mere words are
inadequate to express my deep appreciation of
the tnasterly way in which my son's program of
work has been developed and so successfully com
pleted in your school.
The School of Individual Instruction Is an un
qualified success.—World-Herald, June 5, 1928.
The School of Individual Instruction opened
January 8, 1921, with a registration of three
pupils. During the first five months only seven
pupils enrolled. The school forged ahead regard
less of seemingly unsurmountable obstacles; re
sult—a thoroughly organized, established, non
sectarian school a democratic school without
“frills and fads."
Leading educators agree that individual in
struction must and will become the future system
of all schools, both public and private. The pe
riod has passed when boys and girls can be pat
terned alike and turned out of a common mold.
Individual instruction, based on commonsense
methods, in small classes of pupils with the same
mental ability, will bring out the best in any
accelerated or normal student. .
Parents with vision readily and willingly ad
mit thnt ten pupils in a class can learn far more
than thirty in a class.
Mrs. Pratt, owner and manager, says—"We
do not care to expand in numbers. We prefer
to enrich the quality of our work."
