' . ;,,' ; .;. ,, ',; ' !.. ,', There is no better way to observe this day than by, in creasing tho membership of , this organization which , has come to occupy a place in the social order that could not well go unoccupied. Ami the parents of American boys should be the only recruiting officers needed to keep the enrollment at full strength. i, - WE'RE NOT TUB ONLY ONE ' , Every young American grows up through Childhood film in the belief that in no other country on earth are living con nitions half lis favorable as they are in the United States. Most of us, no doubt, reached manhood pretty well convinced that our civilization is the best there is. ) Maybe it in. Still, it doesn't do any harm to admit that there are other countries that have nnide a good bit of prog ress, too. Indeed, if we could learn that there are places.that have gone even farther than we have it might jar a little of the complacence out of us. I ' a A report from tho V. S. department of commerce is at . hand, with a long article describing conditions in a certain European country. Listen to the description, and see if our proud boast of superiority doesn't fall a trifle flat, ' In this European country, the report begins, progress and initiative are so established that the country with a population of less than 3,0(10.000 has the world's fourth larg est merchant shipping fleet, has developed its water-power resources so skillfully that its people use five times as much electricity as any other people in Europe, and has connected every village and hamlet in the country by telephone mid telegraph. ....... More than 10 per cent of the country's farms use electric ity for light or power puiH)ses. Fully 95 per cent of tho farmers, who number a third of the country's population, own their own farina. Educational standards art extremely high; illiteracy is almost unknown, and in no country on earth are newspapers and magazines so widely read. Then a final remark: "The country has virtually eradicated poverty. On the other hand, there is no great wealth." All of that sounds pretty attractive. For all our pride we cannot equal all of those records. ' i'. What country is it? Norway nation we too often dis miss as backward. The department of commerce's renort would indicate that Norway has one of the most progressive, advanced civilizations m the world.
