GERMAN UNIONS INEFFECTIVE.
A correspondent of a famous
newspaper, recently investigated con
ditions in the Ruhr and the arti
cles he wrote bear out an idea that
has been expressed several times-
men are becoming merely tools of
production. In Germany, the writer
said, wages are lower than the requi
site amount for bare living necessi
ties and threaten to become lower
as the industrialists strive to capture
foreign markets. The workers do
not strike, because the union funds
are gone, and many of the unem
ployed would be glad to take their
places at still lower wages.
This is an example of the inevit
able result of non-existence of effec
tive labor unions. In the United
States many of those who do not
work at trades utterly condemn the
unions. A union laborer will not do
more than a boy could, they say: a
man cannot paint his own house
the anion claims the work; the
union has no right to order an exten
sive strike that may work a hard
ship on the public; and if a union
does order a strike, there should be
no picketing strike breakers should
be permitted to take the jobs, with
out the slightest resistence by the
unions.
Those who hold to these notions
forget the historical records of the
pitiable condition of factory work
ers before the organization of effec
tive unions. The condition in Ger
many today, as pictured by the cor
respondent, is approaching slavery
for the workers.
The essential fact, that production
goes on for the benefit of mankind,
is overlooked. Mankind is driven to
produce, and advertising agencies
are overworked to secure consump
tion of the overproduction. The
unions are condemned for their ef
forts to secure greater happiness for
those who are usually termed the
'lower classes," and condemned by
many whose own comparatively high
standard of living is made possible
by the concerted right of the union
workers for a fair share of the prof
its of their labor.
Unions, with the full power of the
potential strike, are evidently neces
sary to the maintenance of living
wages for the workers. If this coun
try continues in its present course of
breaking the power of labor unions,
we may expect eventually a slave
like mass of workers, or revolt and
substitution of communism for the
republican form of government.
single public Interest The plan
single public interest The plan
stitutions from public funds did
not orginlnally prevail in most
states, and even where it was
in use it was but. feebly devel
oped in the early days of the
Republic. That plan did not
arise spontaneously in the minds
of all citizens. It was only when
the suggestion came forcefully
and repeatedly from a few pion
eers that popular interest was
fully aroused. Vigorous cam
paigns were required not only
to establish the idea of public
education, but also for its main
tenance, and for its important
extensions.
Campaigns of national scope
in behalf of education have been
increasingly effective with each
succeeding year. They have
concentrated attention upon the
needs of education, and the
cumulative impetus of mass ac
tion has been peculiarly benefi
cial. It is clearly in the interest
of popular education, and conse
quently of the country, that
these campaigns be continued
with vigor.
In the last few years we have
placed much emphasis on voca
tional training. It is necessary
for men to know the practical
side of life and be able to earn
a living. We want to have mas
tery of our material resources.
But it is also necessary to have
a broad and liberal culture that
will enable men to think and
know how to live after they have
earned a living. An educated
fool is a sorry spectacle, but he
is not nearly so dangerous to so
ciety as a rich fool: We want
neither in this country. We want
the educated to know how to
work and the rich how to think.
Now, therefore, I, Calvin Cool
idge, President of the United
States of America, do designate
November 17 to 23, inclusive,
as American Education week. I
urge that the citizens do all they
can to advance the interests of
education.
EDUCATION WEEK.
Monday opened the fifth annual
American Education week. The pur
pose of the observance of the week,
its score, and relationship to insti
tutions of higher learning are point
ed out in the proclamation issued by
President Coolidge, which follows, in
part:
Education for the children of
all the people, extending from
the primary grades through the
university, constitutes Ameri
ca's noblest contribution to civ
ilization. No child or youth in
the United States need be de
prived of the benefits of educa
tion suited to his age and de
gree of advancement
Nevertheless, either through
negligence or because of unfor
tunate circumstances which
might be controlled with suffi
cient effort,' large numbers of
children do not receive the full
preparation for their life's work
to which they are justly entitled.
Many have reached maturity
without even the rudiments of
education.
This condition demands the
solicitude of all patriotic citi
zens. It involves not only the
persons immediately concerned
and the welfare of the country
depends upon the character and
the intelligence of those who
cist the ballots.
Educate t has come to be
nearer to the hearts of the
- American people than any other

A Hymn of Hate.
In a setting reminiscent of the
past wars of America and on an oc
casion dedicated to the memory of
those who died in the World con
flict that wars might be abolished,
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, U.
S. N., retired, Sunday morning sang
a veritable hymn of hate when he
called upon the United States to pre
pare for future wars in protection of
our national wealth and characteriz
ed Japan, Russia, and Germany as
vultures waiting for the first oppor
tunity to swoop down and devour
our riches. His address was given
in the Church of Heavenly Rest dec
orated with 250 historic battle flags,
at a special service for former serv
ice men.
The Admiral called attention to
the fact that "religion and patriot
ism have ever been entwined in na
tions that grew great and that their
decline was concurrent with the re
cession of religious fervor." Japan
was cited as the outstanding present
day example of this. He then stres
sed the need for competition as an
impetus to progressive civilization
and indicated that "effeminate
United States is surrounded by na
tions, intensely virile, ambitious, in
telligent and poor." "As a result,"
he concluded. "Our probable ene
mies are becoming stronger to at
tack and we are weaker to resist
Of course the longer the trend con
tinues the weaker we shall be in
comparison with them."
There is something anomalous in
this call upon religion to foster a
militaristic spirit in the "Church of
Heavenly Rest" It is true that from
time to time Christianity has had a
significant part in wars, has played
its part in formulating a fighting
morale. Indeed, the spirit of mili
tant Christianity has dominated the
church from the middle ages even to
the present time. During the recent
war, our preachers were our home
generals and admirals. This was all
very well. It is going a bit far, how
ever to ask present day religion to
act as an agent for arousing in peo
ple a fear and hatred of our neigh
bors, a means to remove that trust
which alone can make possible world
peace. The church must take a part
in spreading its fundamental doc
trine as the basis of international re
lations. It must propagate thought,
of love and peace instead of war
and hatred.
- The Rear Admiral's other state
ment that this country is getting
"effeminate" because of its smug
complacency concerning the future,
and that Russia, Japan, and Ger
many are awaiting the first oppor
tunity for aggression that they may
despoil us of our enormous riches
is sensational but finds little basis in
sound reasoning. Few people would
deny the fortunate position of this
nation as a center of wealth and
prosperity, unparalelled in history,
but it can hardly yet be said that
our civilization is corrupt that our
wealth has removed all of our virile
qualities. The nation, it is true, must
avoid extravagance in peace, but it
is equally essential that inefficient
and unnecessary war preparations be
curtailed. There is no surer harbin
tr of strife and sorrow than a na
tion that is forever thinking of itself
and planning for trouble tv. the fu
ture. Perhaps the future holds forth
the ruin of America rt the hands of
some such nation as Japan or Rus
sia. Perhaps the westward march
of civilization is inevitable. If such
is the case then any preparations
for war are mor futile. At any rate
it is more sane to believe that an era
of peace has been inaugurated, that
International disputes will cease to
be settled by such a crude and ante
dated weapon as war, and in this
confidence to minimize preparations
for conflict to the all-important task
of furthering peace.
Such men as Rear Admiral Fiske
belong to the passing generation in
whom was bred the bogie of a Japa
nese war. His remarks can there
fore be set aside as of little worth.
The new generation prefers to look
upon such instruments as the League
of Nations and the World Court in
stead of avmies and navies, to preach
religion ut goodwill instead of a
fanaticism of antagonistic threats.

Worth looking into
IT'S the most interesting study in the world.
What is? Why you, yourself.
Put yourself under the microscope. Examine
yourself most searchingly to find out just what
kind of work you have a natural aptitude for.
Don't leave your career to chance. Don't be
satisfied with any ' nonchalant observation of
what may seem to be your best field.
Upperclassmen who have applied this careful
self-study will tell you it helped them pick out
the "major" which fell in most closely with
their natural fitness. The result trreater in
terest and greater profit, through their whole
college course.
Graduates will tell you that the man who
turns the microscope on himself is happiest in
his choice of a life-work.
It comes down to this some patient analysis
now may be the means of putting you on the
right track for the rest of your life.
