York never hurts a man unless he keeps away from it. This is especially true when applied to the other fellow. JJovv if a game between Washington and Dartmouth can ,be airanged football fans will at last have a chance to talk about "national champions'" with some degree of authority Those who know our schools best and are devoting their time and effort to accomplish the most with our children the teachers are anxious to have parents visit the schools , this week. It is education week and though visitors are always welcome, particular emphasis is placed on the invi tation now. We know too little about what is actually done in the classroom. We watch football games, attend student playfe and, excises, hut we seldom see them at the actual job of going to school.,,. And it's Unit job to which most of their time isj devoted: Take1 a day off this ,'wcck go to the grade schools, to the high school. It's time well spent and what we lcani is surprising. . . Vi EDUCATION-. . , . Could there-bo any better reason why America should observe "education Avcek Ih.tli the census figures showing that one out of every twenty persons in this nation is an illiterate, that there arc more than 500,000 people in this country who can neither read nor write? If the literate public finds it expedient to stamp out illiteracy, there is an abundance of it for them to bring under the Ijcncficicnt rays of education. Illiteracy is traced, chiefly to unlettered immigrants, those thousands of native Americans who live in isolated mountain and rural sections and to the survivors of those early generations to which free schools and other educa tional advantages were denied. Schools and Colleges are posterity's guaranty against il literacy, but the opportunity is not theirs to educate the living army of mature illiterates. Here' lies the work of those educatoi-s and organizations cooperating in education week. If, in these seven days, they caii impress upon the public the stupendous task ahead it will lie a week well upcnl in the service of the country. ' : IT'S TIIK SAMK 01.1) WOULD. It is line, that the burden of reproach of the wickedness iif the time is usually placed on the shoulders of youth. J'.ishop Hughes, in Chicago, takes cognizance of this mis chievous idea and does a public service in warning the country that the constant indictment of the young people docs harm and not guod. Environment changes, pmgicss of many sorts contrib utos; to a social tran.sfmmation which is marked in pro portion to development. The one thing tluit changeth liever is human nature and, among noinial young men and girls, the instinct of today is much the same as the instinct which ruled their cldei-s, modified not by their tastes but by new surroundings. Inasmuch as it is the elders who take credit for the inventions, diseoveiies and developments which have pro duced a new manner of living, why blame the youth of the land for adapting themselves to the change? It is, as I'.ishop Hughes says, merely lialiil to lie shocked at youth; it is never wisdom. .Soon these pieon-mus children will be the parents who in tuin will view with misgiving the ten dency of daughter to go airplami.g with a strange young man late in the evening.
