To most of us, any jface Jooks good on a bank note. There arc usually two sides to every controversy. Schools Are often too prone, in the excitement of athletic competition, to split hairs on the question of sportsmanship. Winning isn't everything, and the furtherance of friendly, pleasant) relationships between schools and between communities is far more to be desired under most curcumstances. Right and wrong in football ganfos is often dependent on the point of, view. And the school that is big enough to overlook either a real or fancied wrong is a school to be envied. That is a point worth pondering,' ii goal -worth' seeking. ' as h'i naval vessels were employed In the search ut onettimo, us well as naval planes. Humming up the American ac tivities of the season, government air experts declare that the flights have given birth to a new era in aviation, and have, luitl a carefully constructed foundation for the de velopment ofiair t rattle us safo us rait, motor or steamship transpor tation.

"There may not be a hard and Tast understanding among the master politicians, but they are driving ahead with a common in spiration and a common purpose.

I j The directors say, with reference to' ii history study course! 'outlined in a certain pamphlet denounced by the mayor: I '"This is only one of a series of pamphlets on various subjects' issued by the American Library Association aiid circulated ini almost every public library in the United States. We do not' sponsor these pamphlet study courses any ' more than, we sponsor the opinions expressed in the million and a half other volumes on the shelves of the library." ' j Then they make this admirable statement of their gen :cra! position: "The Chicago Public library is, like all other 'libraries in tho world, a depository of human thought; con sequently much of its contents are contradictory: This ex change and freedom of thought we consider the primary func tion of a library, and in keeping with the American ideal of a free press. Any other course would lead to an arbitrary censorship as detrimental to American political liberty as to American academic thought." ' ' i There is no danger, we are sure, of any other policy be coming permanent in spite of Mayor. Bill's campaign. If the opinions dealing with the P.ritish point of view of gov ernment or the stories of history as the English see it are ;so terribly convincing as o become a menace to American veisions, censorship won't stop it. In the modern age ideals 'of national government, of international relations, change jrapidly. Neither in the past nor in the present have we Closely approached erfoclion. But we hope we are piogresS jing, and true progress is possible only with tho interchange of ideas, the broadening of human minds, and breaking down tho barriers of prejudice and intolerance.
