PRA C TICA L EDUCATION
The child * brain is susceptible oi
the highest development, but it
should be developed along the line
of its inclinations and fur practical
purposes. If ever there was a time
when sanity
in education
was
needed, now is that dine.
Our
schools and colleges are educating
the youth of this land away from
the natural tendencies and from the
human instincts of well developed
boys and girls.
The education of today seems to
destroy initiative, self-reliance, cour­
age, and a desire for self-support.
1 he educational system of today
has apparently destroyed the desire
on the part of children to be con­
tributing members of society. They
seem to think that the state owes
them something because it gives
them a free education. There are
very few boys learning to be master
mechanics. The majority are trying
to find an elevator by which they
can ride to the top story of Success.
Success was never reached by an
elevator.
The mountain peak of
Success can be reached only by
climbing over the rocks and by en­
during the hardships, dangers, and
difficulties.

this country had to depend upon

Chicago.— The calling out of troops
In Illinois, the assembling of soldiers
in half a dozen states and the inter­

nation-wide strike of railway shop­
men marked the opening of the sec­
ond week of the struggle.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad obtained a federal Injunction
here restraining picketing at the Au­
rora shops, while an Injunction was
issued at New Orleans restraining
strikers from interfering with trains
on the Southern Pacific and at Coun­
cil Bluffs, Iowa, the Burlington ob­
tained a temporary restraining order
directed against striking shopmen in
southern Iowa.
With the federal courts already in­
tervening in a number of places to
prevent picketing by the strikers, the
week was expected to reveal to a
large extent the attitude of the de­
partment of Justice toward the strike.
From Washington came the an­
nouncement that the department was

The majority of the master

The idea of organizations or insti­

not be permitted. Such a doctrine
is a damnable curse to the manufac­

CROP CONDITIONS
REPORTED BETTER
Washington, D. C. — General im­
provement In crop conditions along
the Atlantic and gulf coasts and in
the northwest, east of the Rocky
mountains, was noted by the agricul­
ture department in its crop summary
for the last half of June, made public
Saturday.
“ Throughout the corn belt.” the de­
partment's observers found, "small
grains were more or less injured by
the unusual hot and dry weather, as
were also some crops in parts of the
mountain and Pacific coast region#.
Irrigated crops were not so much af­
fected.”
The corn crop generally made prog­
ress, except in the southwest, where
it was neglected for cotton. Wheal
is being harvested in New York
Michigan. Wisconsin, northern Iowa,
eastern Colorado and California, while
threshing is going on in the southwest
and some of the southeastern states.
Oats are reported generally poor to
fair and cotton had fairly good
growth.
The Irish potato crop is reported to
be "fair to good,” and a large acreage
of beanB and cabbage has been plant­
ed, and other vegetables are said to
be in good condition.

ing Monday submitted to the bitum­
inous and anthracite operators and
miners gathered here in conference a
proposal that the miners return to
work at the wage scale in existence

tration board being appointed to ne­
gotiate a new wage scale.

president would consist of three mem­
bers appointed by the United Mine

The arbitration commission would
be expected to have its award ready
by August 10. but if unable to arrange
a new scale by that date the scale,
which expired April 1. would be con­
tinued from August 10 to April 1, 1923.

NATION-WIDE STRIKE HARDING WARNS
IN COAL STRIKE
GF SHOPMEN BEGINS
No Interruption In Traffic Is
Reported By Railroad
Officials.
Chicago. Hi. — Notwithstanding tlip
efforts of the federal government act­
ing through the United States railroad
labor board, to throttle a strike of the
nation's railway shop workers, thou
sands of shopmen answered the call
of the union leaders and laid down
their tools.
There was no Interruption of traffic
on any line. Engineers and trainmen
stuck to their posts, although, under
Instructions from brotherhood chiefs,
they performed only their regular du­
ties. All trains, the railroads report­
ed, were running on schedule.
Statements from rail executives all
over the country, although admitting
largo desertions from the shop ranks,
reiterated their stand that transporta­
tion was unaffected and would con­
tinue so “ perhaps for months.”
No further efforts would be made to
settle the strike by the railroad labor
board, it was said at the board's of­
fices. From Washington catne word
that the administration was solidly
back of the board on its staud on the
strike question.
The power of the United States gov
ernnient, coupled with public senti
ment, will give every protection to
every railway employe who remains
on the job and to all men who take
the place of strikers iu the present
railroad walkout, Ben W. Hooper,
chairman of the United States railroad
board, declared in a statement.
Wage cuts aggregating approximate
ly *134,000,000 and affecting more than
1,000,000 railway workers went into
effect on all railroads of the United
States July 1 by order of the labor
board.
In protest against the wage cuts and
against certain pructlces charged
against the managements of the rail­
roads, the shopmen throughout the
country voted to go on strike.

Washington, D. C.— In a kindly
worded speech to the leaders of the
coal mining Industry, both operatora
and workers, President Harding ad-
monished them to seek a prompt solu­
tion ot the present strike and conveyed
to them the delicately worded warn­
ing that if they failed the government
would be compelled to administer the
industry for the common good of the
American people.
President Harding did not mention
federal control by name. He adopted
the more discreet way of putting It.
hut throughout the president's brief
speech to the warring factions it was
made clear that the administration is
keeping “ a steel hand in a velvet
glove," and that if the miners and op­
erators cannot get together, then the
government la going to protect the
consuming public.
The “ kick" In the speech was near
the end:
“ You are admonished to arrive at
such understanding with measurable
promptness, among yourselves. If the
adjustment cannot be reached by you
alone, the government will be avail­
able at your Joint call. We wish you
who best know the way to solution to
reach it among yourselves, In a man
ner to command the sanction of tbe
people.
