OUR SCHOOLS
The custom has been for parents and friends of pupils to
visit schools on the last day of the term. Commencement
periods seem to be the only time public intortest in education
manifests itself in the form of school visitations.
This indifference has led teachers and other educators to
emphasize commencements and establish visitors' days dur
ing the school year in an attempt to lure into the schoolroom
parents and others paying for the support of the schools.
But the visitors do hot obtain a true picture of the schools
on such occasions. The schools are "dressed up", the pupils
on their good behavior and the program, is usually entertain
ment rather than lessons in readin', writin' and 'rithmctic.
Every citizen is free to criticize the schools, but no fair
minded citizen will condemn them without first investigat
ing. And the time to loam something about them is by un
announced visits.
. Visitation of the school in its daily routine will have a
wholesome effect in bringing into closer and more intelli
gent and sympathetic co-operation those who have the wel
fare of the child most at heart the parent and the teacher
and will eliminate much of the misunderstanding between
taxpayer and those commissioned to administer education.
, The schools are the brightest spots in the community, and
generally the most hopeful institution democracy has to
count upon. The constant surprise is that the world is not
better than it is with such training of youth. But one has
to search outside the school for the reason. It is reassuring
to all who have sufficient interest to visit a school, to see
with what intelligence, patience, and skill their children are
being taught.
IMPRACTICAL ECONOMISTS
Recently Wall Streeters, along with many lay readers,
were impressed by a series of articles leading to the conclu
sion that the problems of industry could be solved only by
the consumer's decision to save less and spend more. The
articles admitted the theoretical propriety of reduced spend
ing and increased saving when aggregate consumers demand
should have outrun producers' facilities. The gist of the
series was that the present industrial dilemma is a producing
capacity in excess of visible consumption. The citizen who
spends his income increases consumption and therefore helps
to establish an equilibrium.' But if ho saves his income
and invests it, directly or indirectly, in securities issued by
manufacturing concerns to enlarge their plant, he thereby
helps to increase productive facilities while reducing potential
consumption.
' To disinterested persons, the reasoning seems entirely
academic. Their natural comment was that the average
citizen spends or saves, and presumably will continue to do
so, according to his personal character or circumstances.
Therefore, while the argument that he ought to adjust his
use of surplus income to preserving equilibrium in trade
might be unanswerable economically practically it would get
exactly nowhere.
If permnnont prosperity and absolute abolition of unem
ployment depend Uxm establishing and enforcing an exact
ratio between saving and spending, society must continue to
get along with alternating periods of prosperity and hard
times.

extraneous matter.
ARCHAIC HORNS
. The prefect of police in Taris. Fi ance, has loconimemlod to
the ministry of public works, that all automobiles be equipped
with horns emitting nothing but "low dignified sounds."
It is to be hoped that the prefect of police is successful in
his campaign to make auto horns more polite. If he is, it
will establish a precedent which will bear emulation by the
United States.
The tones of many of the warning devices used here could
be modified without lessening their efficiency. The wear and
tear on pedestrian nerves is too great with most of the pres
ent horns in use. A distinctive, sound with smaller volume
would make walking no more dangerous and far less start
' ling. Of course, Americans might find it inconvenient to
use something besides automobile horns in calling their
children and yoohooing their friends.
Invention of a horn that warns without terrifying would
benefit the motorist as much as the pedestrian. If a car
creeps upon a crossing without a blast of the horn, the driver
is bawled out for not blowing his horn. If he holds down
the button, he gets a lot of dirty looks or worse.
AH the engineering, inventive and scientific resources of
the world should be concentrated upon the creation of an
automobile horn that clears the street crossings and com
mands tho right of the road without shattering nerves and
causing heart palpitations.
They say it never pays to argue; yet a good argument can
hardly le considered worthless if vou really enjov hearing
yourself talk.

Editor Evening Observer:
In your Issue of October 11th there
appeared a news article on a debate
on tho question of the Higher Edu
atlon School Consolidation bill be
tween Roger Ball and C. R. Eberhord
which is so biased, unfair and un
true that I feel that I must answer
it.
Thp statement that Mr. Ball was
forced to admit that the Eastern Ore
gon Normal ranks 47th in the United
States In the matter of state support
but not in scholastic standing is un
true. Mr. Bull's statement was that
tho normal schools of Oregon rank
much below average in standing
among teacher training institutions
in the United States and that they
had been squeezed out of proper sup
port by tho two big institutions in
the state so that they ranked 47th In
final support. He cited the report
Issued by the Federal Survey Commis
sion as authority for his statements.
In tho second paragraph of the ar
tlclo you leport statements allegedly
made by President H. E. Inlow when
as a matter of fact President lulow
was not even present at the meet
ing. No statement of fact presented by
Mr. Ball was disprove n by any mem
ber of the Normal school faculty as
far mt I could Jurge.
Your paper also goc lnto qtille a
lengthy report In regard to a discus
sion ou library costs when also as h
matter of fact Mr. Ball's statements
that one university library through
consolidation would replace the two
now maintained was not even ques
tioned and no such discussion was
had.
In closing the article your reporter
makes the sUUement that "Many of
his other argximenta were disposed or
in the same way."
Individuals who heard the rirbatt
with whom I have discussed this ar
ticle agree that it is no way presents
what actually transpired. It is a
biased, prejudiced report designed to
deceive renders contrary to good
newspaper ethics.

'Debunking' The Record
Underbill constantly battled to
hold tho appendix down. He called
the record a "catch all" for members
of congress, pleaded with members
that it 'oo "debunked" and did a lot
of "debunking" himself with his "I
object."
He made wide studies of the Rec
ord of several congresses. He found,
among other things, that In one cose
alone it cost the government $13,-
760.85 for a member to extend his re
marks.
He asserted also that congressmen
like to tickle the vanity of their con
stituents by printing articles ana
speeches that the constituents them
selves make; that others clutter up
the pages with statistics only of In
terest to their own districts, and that
newspaper editorials are inserts.

sense In It: I
"This is work for the legislature, ,
not for the voters. Tho scientlflo!
working out of a balanced schedun
of highway fees is a Job for experts j
in possession of all the involved and
complicated facts."
With this view, this newspaper
agrees. In opposing this bill it does
not depart from Its belief that there
should be fair regulations of highway
transportation, and that the railroads,
in many instances, are placed at a
disadvantage because of regulation
imposed upon them and not imposed
upon their competitors. But It does
believe that If there are to bo regula
tory measures, they should be worked
out by competent experts represent,
lug the people, and not In the man
ner proposed by the freight truck and
bus bill. It recommends a "No" vote
on this measure. Klamath Palls Herald.
