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.

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?

i All crntnmnntc trt tho

people and get away from paying the
veterans.
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

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

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. Tho veterans ore the only war-time

A TYPICAL "SURVEY"
Congress having1 decreed that governmental economics
could not be adequate to obviate tax increases, it is of in
terest to the taxpayers to know what some of the unavoid
able and indispensable expenditures of public monies are.
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.

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.
