Newspaper Page TextPAGE EIGHT THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1922 llll CANNERIES PAY WOMEN TOTAL OF 300,000 WAGES More than $300,000 has been paid during the past six months to women who have worked from time to time In the six canning end packing plants located In Sa lem. And during the present month it is estimated that women are be ing paid J1600 a day for work in the King's Products company, Hunt Bros, and the Starr Fruit . Products company. On a conservative ' estimate, there are 650 women employed in Salem, helping in the pack of ap pies, trimming and cutting, and the average wage may be said to be f2.50 a day. Work on the ap pie pack will continue until about Christmas. It was during war times when there was a scarcity of labor, that women first began to become im portant factors in the canning and packing interests of the city. Having learned that the work was fairly agreeable and remuner ative, the canneries in the city have experienced no difficulty in securing the necessary women workers. One cannery manager said that when the big rush of the canning season is on there are 1000 women in the city who can be called on to help in the emer gency. Cannery work in which women are employed in large number in Salem begins early in June with the strawberry pack. This Is fol lowed by cherries, then loganber ries, black, berries, with the peak of the season at pear time. Working on the plan now in vogue in all the Salem packing plants, many women make during the pear Beason, as high as $4 a day, having become' experienced in the work. Based on the present number of women employed in the pack of apples, they will be paid this wSbk and next . a sum approximating 118,000.

Powell, Director Educational Department, Cos mopolitan Magazine.) jonn jjewey, urat among our educational thinkers in actual helpfulness, says that, "variety is more than the spice of life; it is largely of Its essence." Long ago Herbart announced that "educa tion would be tyranny if it did not lead to freedom." Boutroux is ure the highest purpose of educa tion is to "fashion human beings Into freedom." Clarence Britten mi lately editor or tne Dial, warns that "we pass acts that require tcacherg to sink their own differ ences In our unanimity." Nevertheless, Oregon has juet passed a compulsory school bill re quiring the parent to send the Average child to public school or , break the law. To be sure, Oregon seems to have the backing of Dal las Lore Sharp who writes: "My child is first a national child. He belongs to the nation even before be belongs to himself. His educa tion is first national and then personal." Oregon Is wrong. If America lias achieved anything worth while in education, it. is the inter play of the individual spirit against a background blended of many interests. That is democracy In a making. There is no other kind we ought to covet. If the state Is to manage education which may conceivably be a mod Idea, the state ought to understand in advance the slie of its contract. Tile present has to grow out of the past. There is no other way to ensure evolution rather than the revolution which is racking many parts of the world perhaps iv pieces. It In the wisdom of Ore gon, the average child should go to public schools, the first step le not compulsory legislation. It is to make the public schools ot such character that no private school. Protestant or Catholic, can com pete with It. There is no short cuf! Force the American people to take one, and you ensure another ol those inevitable reactions which In our social and political, ad well as educational life, have sometimes cost us dear. Pennsylvania is even considering a reorganization of Its public schools covering seventeen years. See straight. Our society is com plex. "One star differeth from another star in glory." Fore ground we can make, but not back ground. That has been our fa thers1 work. Not merely have edu cation and religion belonged to gether iu the past, but it was the very real for the religious ad vancement of the world that start ed Comenlua himself on the road of highly original educational thinking, while in more recent years the Montessori method orig inated in a sense of social service, endeavoring to answer properly the question "Am I my brothers' keeper." Every worthy ideal in iiur educational life, provided we are patrent, can be realized with out rendering the background woven for ufl by a Cardinal Gib bons as well as Cotton Mather. tne fascist! have had a bloodless revolution in Italy because they have attacked real enemies; not tilted uT windmills. The responsi unity for the education of our children we think belongs to us. We will pay all we can to carry it, and we will also pay whatever else the state assesses us. It is possi ble to be both parent and patriot. Nationalizing children does not sound good to American parent hood. We think we know a better way, and yet promote the cause of true democracy. Exceediner the Speed Limit: Careless thinking may lay a bur den grevious to be borne, on our good public schools, which have done wonders for us, though in large part twice reorganized since I860, and now apparently to be in Oregon reorganized again. Physical has been added to men tal training In our public schools. The truant has been brought Into the claesroom. Methods have been found to deal with the in corrigible. Wre are even learning how to help the inferior, the crip pled, the tubercular, the deaf, the epileptic, the blind, while we are steadily raising by tact and com mon sense, the age of compulsory attendance. Why exceed the speed limit? Compulsion cannot create capacity, or unscrew the inscrut able. Why ask our public schools, with the problems many are fac ing of overcrowding and keeping their best teachers, to do at. once more than they can do? If Sharp wants his child to be "a national jhild," I am for him. That is his ioncern. I want the right to do "or my own child the best I know As I read our history I understand that America first got its start irom people with this same desire, ind still draws the whole world to its shores for this same reason Just folks," 'The parson and the parson's wife, And mostly married people. vant the right to do the best which they know how for their ;hildren, while helping on in ev jry way they can, the cause of .mblic education.. Nat'-rally, most children will io to the public schools. That is where they ought to go. Ameri an civilization has produced nothing better than the (public schools. AVhy overwork them? Have a heart. Why not develop hem, simply and sensibly, with out haste and without rest, until everywhere they function fully j.nd effectively? At the present, perhaps for a few hundred years o come what's a hundred years r so In the making of a perfect ace? there seems to be a large leld for the private school, if only to render first aid to the public chopl. To Your Tents 0 Israel. This is no ', private school has been discussed in earlier issues. The word itselt covers every institution not sup ported by the state. Again and again, we have called attention to the unique value of the junior col lege and the military school, the church school and the camp. No one seriously questions their iin portauce. The professional school needs no argument. The dentist used to get his training In a dental office. The lawyer read his Black stone under a great master. Even until recently men were studying for the ministry at the feet ot some Gamaliel. But times have changed. Only the best trainini now can fit for such a future ab the world has never known be fore. That training can be pro vided by the professional school alone. Many Types of Schools. This is a wide term. The school of commerce Is more vtial iy affecting business organization today than any other single factor, even though the place is biggei than before, for "The Go-Getter" of Peter B. Kyne. The man who wants to arrive as a business ex ecutive, the woman who wishes to be more than a "Robot" secretary. must get the best our excellent business and efficient secretarial schools provide. It is vastly more than making a living. They real ly furnish sound counsellors and well as high aesthetic standards, try to get admission to a good artistic school. Do you realize how many of our photographers, whose work appears in magazine, newspaper and the film, get their preparation in those schools ot ohotography where along with technique are taught the dignity and beauty of the art? Do you know that there still, lives a very live newspaper man who in 1875 reported the first graduating exer cises of a school for nurses in the United States and hear a nurse of the older type pronounce against ihe newer training? Ever since John Hopkins set a standard which converted nursing into a profession, the movement upward has been steady until today nurses training schools the country over ire worth while. If to any reader of this, the plea for an education with the private school supplementing, the public school, seems of little worth; think upon the words' of Leibnitz: "He who controls the education of a nation controls its future."

A WEEK TRIAL WITH EVERY CAR Phone 1995 Valley fUotor Co. 260 N. High 3WKiiifi-- "Tale told by an Idiot, Full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." jregon is not the first state to raise a standard I believe, in cour tesy to all who differ from me, to oe absoluteely undemocratic. A while ago there was a little flurry jut in Michigan. Even in con ervative Massachusetts, some fif teen years ago, before we learned to lisp in post-war numbers, a .novement started to tax colleges, so dangerously if not heavily, that only by converting into high grade lobbyists such seasoned college (residents as Eliot and Seelye was :he legislature held back possibly from a stampede, the effect ot which would have been, at a time when colleges were not raising money in large sums, to cut down teachers' salaries, and thus under mine the best the college has to jive. There are professional and cultural colleges In the United States as truly private as the schools and they too have to reckon with this precedent Oregon has set. What has broken out "Where rolls the Oregon," may break out anywhere, and reach up. "To your Tents, O Israel." From many points of view the often understudies to managers Oi vital matters. They turn .the wheels of society itself,, and eve. the routine of the White Houst could not go on a single day bui for the trained secretary of tht overburdened wife of our chief ex ecutive. Says Dean Joseph French Johnson: "Their product is culture as well as service." The best way to study music dancing and the drama is natural ly in schools tried out by experi ence.
