SAYING OOOD BYE: Finally, brethren, farewell. Be per
fect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live In peace: un-J
the God of love and peace shall be with you. 2 Cor. 13: 11.
A WEAKNESS OF SOCIETY,
That there is "honor among thieves'' is a phenomenon
as old as crime itself. That criminals should deem them
selves powerful enough to enforce upon the law-abiding
element of society respect for themselves and their sense
of ethics indicates a presumption of an arrogance which
will be countenanced only at the peril of the most vital
foundations of society itself.
It is well known that there exist gangs of outlaws so
strong as to be able to terrorize whole communities, es
pecially in large cities, into silence akin to subjugation.
The authorities carry on a losing war against them. It
has been demonstrated arjain and again that respectable
and law-abiding persons inform against these criminals at
peril of their lives.
An incident in point, which is still r.-esh in the mindV
of all, is the murder of the mnn and woman who furnished
the information resulting in the arrest and conviction of
the notorious Gerald Charman. The informers were slaiii
by Chapman's "pal" to avenge Chapman's arrest.
" This sort of thing should be impossible in a well-regulated
society, designed to upho'd law nnd o'dor at what
ever cost to the criminal clement in its midst. To nvike it
impossible society itself must tnke thought of 'he illogical
and unreasonable ' nosltfiiniittf'T
and criminals to thrust it. '
Society works much harm upon itself when it feels
toward the informer i'gr.inst the minderer and bandit much
as the school-boy feels toward the "squealer."

SYMHOL O? OOOD CITIZENSHIP
The cii.se of those who wish to entahlish a federal bur
eaucracy to ovcisee Anici ican education has never im
H'essed its usefulness on the American peop'c to whom
the subject of education is something roar and dear.
' According to its jress Hgcntry, a federal deparlnient of
educjit'ion is an overwliehninjj demand on the part of p t
riotic and fraternal ordeis, teachers, schools, colleges,
clun-ches, parents, chainbeis of commerce and civic organ
izations. ' Almost every who knows any tiling alxmt it
wants it." .
On the whole, the only objection to that statement i;
that it isn't true. .
Now there is a well defined idea abroad among some o
the teachers, schools, coll -ges, churche parents, chambers
of commerce and civic organizations (overlooked by the
pers ngentry) that education is most completely success
ful when it is kept as eln.;e as j ossible to the home. This
idea has taken on substantial pinportiona because, for one
thing, local government has been notably adequate in ni.it
ters of education.
To anyone with knowledge of school systems in Ilurope.
and elsewhere in the Old World, the Ameiican pasaion for
educating thn children, interpreted in terms of unetiualed
facilities, is the key to American progress.
There is a very real danger in any movement which
injects into the school syr-tem a remote bureaucracy which,
however w"lbnteaning, could contribute nolhing that com
pumities are not already doing but cou'd biing a chill offi
cial isolation into education life where, after all, good citi-i.ui-hip
is the objective. And of vood citizenship the horn.
