Psalm 27:14. SCHOOL VACATIONS Hundreds of children in Ln Grande and other cities and towns throughout the nation are now enjoying the first glorious days of summer vacation, having been released from their school rooms for three months. Some of these children will benefit physically from the opportunities for outdoor life afforded by the vacation. Others, especially the older ones, may use the vacation period profitably by earning a little money ' or helping' with the summer farm work. ' But many will have difficulty in making wise use of the time. Many will test the patience of their parents by mak ing nuisances of themselves around the house, while others may elude parental restraint and fall into evil companion ships which encourage loafing and worse habits. Parents have long realized that the school vacation is a problem. In the cities there have been proposals to con tinue school sessions throughout the summer, since few of the children have the privilege of 'vacationing in the country, and the city makes leisure dangerous. " City parents point put that the whole system of vacations is based upon the needs of rural communities where the children are needed in the fields and gardens during the summer, and that the system should be revised now to meet the changed conditions. If any such change is made, it will come slowly; but per haps the change has been creeping upon us during the past few years without our notice. Summer sessions in grade schools, high schools, and colleges have been increasing in popularity everywhere. Here in La Grande there are children taking sununer courses in the Ackerman Training school,- a group of high school students are taking a summer course in history and civics, and a large number of teachers and normal training Btudents are studying during the summer at the Normal. A new feature at the high school this year is being insti tuted by Mr. Loney, newly appointed supervisor of music. He is offering all young people interested in playing in the band or orchestra the privilege of special training on their chosen instruments during the summer. Separate classes for the players of reed, string, and brass instruments will bo formed. This will cost the young people" nothing, and will be of great value to them!, not only in oscupying their spare time, but in developing musical ability. Such activities may be the ultimate solution of the sum mer vacation problem. OUT OUR WAY By J. R.

To the Editor: Tho greatest battle of the 72d con gress is just now getting under momentum that for and against tho World war veterans' adjusted compensation. Just why tho presi dent should be so utterly opposed to the payment at this time Is Inexpli cable ln the face of his frantic ef forts to get back a hoarded billion dollars Into circulation In order to thua build up bank deposits and credits, claiming that every hoarded dollar brought into circulation would count for 10, and the government itself 1-3 hoarding enough surplus gold in the treasury to have Issued at any tlmo in several years an additional two and a quarter billions. Then why not stop the futile ballyhoo about tho desperate need for additional money In circulation, and also the frantic efforts In regard to hoarded money, and all this vociferous talk about endangering the credit of our country, when there Is now avail able the best method Imaginable to get 2.400.000,000 Into general circula tion tiirough the 3 million soldiers to whom we owe It and who need it. and when it will create something li;:e 30 billions of bank credits and: come near lifting our country out of j -nis destructive depression?

There is another avenue the ad ministration can use for payment of this so-called "bonus" by issuing bonds to the veterans' bureau that It can rediscount and cash up through the federal reserve banks under tii-i recently enacted Gloss-Steagal! meas ure, ine American pcupie w tainly not willing to huv the veterans lose the second half of their com pensation by its being eaten up by the compound Intermit on -the first half for 14 years. Immediate payment of this debt would bring Into Oregon $23,000,000. of which Multnomah county would get over $8,000,000, and rural coun ties like Union and Umatilla would get about half a million each, it would certainly double the money In circulation and within a year enable the banks to function In a fairly normal way. The fact is, this meas ure as outlined would do 10 times more good than all the Hoover meas ures combined, and do It almost In stantly.

Particularly interesting is an appropriation for conducting a department of commerce investigation of the retail grocery business in Philadelphia. Perhaps this inquest is typical of scores conducted each year by this department, which spent $11,000,000 in 1913 and $61,000,000 in 1031, Two laboratories will be established and a staff of experts I maintained in Philadelphia to check purchases, sales and j operating costs, charge accounts and other factors in the ! business. When this work is done additional months will beconsunied in compiling, analyzing and printing the reports, which nobody will read. It is a foregone conclusion that the "experts" from Wash ington, after spending thousands of dollars of the taxpayers' money, will tell the grocers nothing about their business they do not already know, much less save grocery consumers even a fraction of what the investigation will cost. Government may argue that its help is needed most when business is in distress, but the suspicion is prevalent that government help of this sort is more distressing than helpful. Other Papers Say: liI('Ki:itINJ IX Kill CATION A high example or educational ethics Is set by Dr. William A. Scho onfcld. dean and director of agricul ture and tho experiment stations at Oregon State college. Calling attention to tho petitions In circulation for consolidation of tho two major Institutions of higher edu cation ln Oregon on the C'orvallls campiw. Dr. Schoenfeld says in a let ter to the school or agriculture, and agricultural experiment station stafta: Slnco this petition might embar rass the state board of higher edu cation in its attempt to bring about an orderly system or nigner educa tion in tho state of Oregon; and slnco It would he unethical and Improper for U3 as sUiff personnel of the state board to participate in any activities that might aubsequeutly cmbarraiis tho board, may I ask that you rr fraln from signing any petition that may bo presented to you Involving an initiative measure covering the consolidation of tlus two major in stitutions of higher learning of tho state of Oregon? This Is a high example of educa tional ethics that ought to bo unl- r nature of the work of the Omnipo tent. It Is the Incompetency of men. the Ignorance of the uninformed, tho failure of tho muss to function ade quately aa citizens. It awakens mis-' glvings as to the filial success of self government. And it Is tn such an hour that a great row over higher education surges in Oregon 1 the education and school training universally applied that aloiio can ultimately save the land and people from these man-made catastrophes of depression. It Is for that reaison that the kind ly note from Dr, Schoenfeld from tho Corvnllls cnnipu.v calling on those un der his direction to keep out of tho educational a trite, is u welcome call in u statvi where educational bicker ing has been a near scandal. . If the Schoenfeld example could ho followed universally, education ln Oregon would be far better and tho true objectives of education bo mightily advanced. Oregon Journal.
