Two can always live as 'cheaply as one until the bills
start coining in.
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.
