The tlinea are moving. Whither

chester, Maiw., citizens' committee
which recently conducted an Imiiilry
Into the progress of the school child
ren of thai average American resi
dential town, Kays the leading paper
of that city.
The committee comprised fifteen
men and women of Winchester,
rather able and sincere and im
pressed with the possibilities of the
survoy, who set forth to diagnose the
class rooms of the public school
For months the tongue of gossip had
assailed the schools, and the com
mittee had rnj-tloads of criticism to
consider and Investigate, yuesllon
nulrcs were drawn up and sent to
parents and teachers, ench query
bearing upon some pertinent point
of resesreh. Something was wrong
with Winchester's fonts of learning,
beyond dispute, for the first evi
dence recorded was that twenty-two
high school pupils had been with
drawn and entered In other Insti
tutes. Through a fortnight the re
search went on. Then the committee
reported.
It found that Winchester schools
functioned perfectly to and Including
the seventh grade, but that satisfac
tory progress balked nt the two up
per grades and the high school, de
anlte superior school facilities and
iha unremitting annl Icntlon of a con
scientious and capable corps of
teachers. In the high school were
boys and girls lust aware of adol
escence, wllh its tendency townrd
cnllow smrtnrss. chatting of the lat
est motorcars, the swiftest "Jazi"
and the sugared scandals of the
screen. They were rather superior
ynung people, modestly attired and
addicted to vaudeville repartee,
promising a grent deal or nothing at
all, as one chose to look at It- but
all alike disdainful of study.
"We have found," reported the
toinmlttee of flfleen. "an unsatisfac
tory sitltndn on the part of the pu
pils, especially in the high school, le
va iird school work and school disci
pline. "Hie wrong attitude of pupils
we believe to be the principal cause
of such imperfections as exist In our
schools. For this we think the
school Is rmrilv nt fault, hut the re
sponsibility fulls primarily on us who
urn n.ircnts, because we allow our
chtldren so much diversion and en
tertainment that the school work be
comes recondnrv. and because we fall
to renulre of them that serious alti
tude toward the business of educa
tion which Is essential to success."
Let's take time to wonder, as
Americans. If the school children of
todnv r:in vi-iliiHrn the hoy Lincoln

city In America In some degree.
VOTE SWIMiKllS.
rolltlcal evolution lias developed
a tvpe of man who might be called
the "vote swinger." He Is a fellow
with a taste for nnlltirs, a gift of
gab, and nn Ingratiating manner. Ho
Veops his ear to tin ground all the
year, knows the uin'cilvlng m e
pients. and is aiwin dropping seeds

prominent ns vote swingers. Any
man who keeps any form of gossip
center, or who is a "mixer" nod
mingles with many people, or who
merely takes a keep interest in poli
ties mv swav the political opin
ions of more or less people, nnd such
Influence niav be exerted for good
ends. The vote swinver poses as a
good citlr.en, in!oir-'ed In politics for
good p'trnoses. lint the opportunis

other motives. The man who a.--qntres

past found thai this power Is fre
quently snliilile. often for cash, or
for constder.itlonr equally valuable
The inexperienced candidate Is lis
1taly told that he must got "next"
In the vote swingers, and nsertaln
whnt they can do for him. This Is
a trying experience for the novice
who wantn to do things on the
nnara If hit secures their efforts
on his behalf, there usually has toj
be a reckoning at some future date.
Commonly the compensation ex
pectcd Is some appointment to office.
Candidates make a mistake In taking
