ER AJ s YP ia t i OR ’OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER * SUBSCRIPTION RATES Payable in Advance ONE YEAR ............................ $1.50 A P R IL 21, 1939 CLEAN-UP Cities, large and small, are giv en to holding clean-up days on which bankers and (boosters, gro- ce~a and garageraen, lawyers and laymen are supposed to turn out and labor in the interest of com munity pride and municipal neat ness. These affairs are seldom annual events and are conducted somewhat sporadically. This is not because of lack of need for the ministra tions of the ertizen-s toward keep ing the streets and vacant lots trim and inviting. It is because, someone always does too much work and someone does too lit tle and someone thinks this should he done and someone thinks that should be done and the disagree ment leads to a bit o f hard feel ing that stops the holiday for a time. The newly formed Breakfast club, anxious to demonstrate its interest in the community, has or dained that there -shall be a clean up day in Moro and the city coun cil will undoubtedly agree. (And it is expected tha-t all citizens will say, ‘‘So Be It” or if they prefer. “Amen.” Among the things that may be done are the removal of the foun dation of the burned harness shop, the cleaning of the front of the Legion hall, the painting of the tree trunks, the removal of dead or unwanted trees from the park, the burning of accumulated weeds, the repainting of street signs and such other acts of good municipal housekeeping that appeals to the minds and muscle« of the hard working citizenry. May it be done so thoroughly that when those who tour the highway pass thru they will remark on the neatnear. of the town and the apparent en terprise of its residents. WAR Perhaps the question most gen erally asked when a group come together is the prospect for war. It is probably true that those who are the parents of sons evidence the greatest interest for, if there is war, they will be the ones for w’hom the sacrifice will be the greatest. The last time this nation enter ed a foreign war it was at the be hest of one who proclaimed him self an idealist, who wanted to go down in history as one who had u.-ed his power to settle the affairs of a quarrelling world. Such men are dangerous to the peace of p nation. The record of this nation in foreign wars is nothing «(bout which we mav boast. The settle ment made with our aid has last ed a bare twenty years and gave little or no satisfaction during its existence. The money we loaned has brought us nothing, neither interest, repayment nor friend ships. We are reduced to the boasting that we won the war although ever that is disclaimed by those we a Wed. There is even grave doubt as to whether the war was won by the aid we helped or not when everything is considered. “ Yet, i f There is a war in "Europe between the major nations there sesm* to be every rasson to believe that we will be in it financially, economically and physically. For as soon as American money is loaned—and it will be in one way or another—there will be an urge through propaganda to send troops over to make it a better risk. i There will be stories of atrocities, of threats against the United States, of coming invasion after European opponents are subdued. And we will be persuaded to fight again and spend the remainder of our life regretting it. Right now might be a good time for some realism about war, for a factual survey, of what happened f e last time and for a curbing of hose who, want this country to assume the' role of dictating what is right or wrong in Europe. NEW REPORT CARDS lAn experiment, admitted and avowed, is being tried by teachers of Sherman county schools. For ‘h e quarter year juat ended they have sent along with the regula re port cards a new type of car.- d signed to give the parent a mor c( mprehen.-iive idea of \vhnt h ; ci. ill is doing in school work ant in some other thing« the teachc fte k competent to judge. The high school chart and that for the grade school are different The former will be discussed first It gives the teacher’s rating or eight characteristics: courtesy industry, perseverence, obedience «•operation, self control, sports manship and general attitude and rntts them as either plue, meaning that improvement is being made, or minus, meaning that improve ment is needed. Grading on sub-,- jtets taken is done by the use ex' three symbols, E, for above aver age: S for satisfactory and U for failing. The mothod of grading by mak ing but few classifications is used ill larger schools with good results it is said. It is doubtful if it wil* 1 be satisfactory in small schools, especially in schools as small as the ones in this county. There i? no incentive for children to at tempt to excel to any greater ex tent than to be above average. Te that exent it removes the stimu lus that may be derived from com petition. At least five classifica tions of grading would be better in the belief of the writer. As for the eight characteristics the teachers are asked to pa»« judgment upon not all of them can »be changed at the will of eith er the parent or the teacher, ir fac , it may be doubted if eithei or both can do mucit about many of them. The matter of courtes- may probably be heh>ed. Industry may be encouraged, presuming that hcal‘.h and incentive are available. Perseverance may in terfere with obdience or co-opera tion. Self control can the apprais ed but sportsmanship is one of the characteristics that can hardly be judged without the gift of inter preting motives, which few, very few posess. The chart for the grade school pupils is long and tie- tailed and a real eoffrt has appar ently been made to make the re marks specific enough to have value. If it is to be complete it can hardly be shortened to any g n a t extent and if left as is it will be a task for teachers that may become a burden at times. I or years and generations the schools have been taking ovei more of the functions of parent* and this is another example o-i thr. t type of aggression. It is doubtful if it is a good tendenc; for already the schools have too little time for the subjects the\ should teach and parents have tor much time that is spent somt other way than in training theii own offspring. The home shoulc not turn Loo much of the work of child training over to the school. This report is the offer of the school to aid further in the work of social education of the child. L it is to be continued perhaps par ents should make a similar report to the teacher after deciding, of course, what characteristics each want to develop. On the whole the new reports are a worthy experiment that will be successful to the extent that teachers make accurate findings about their charges and parents give their cooperation to improve after the diagnosis is made—and agreed upon by both parent and teacher. PAROLE BOARD The names of three good have (been mentioned as mem of , the new state parole board, the fact that they are good doe« no make it evident that ■( would make a good parole bo Because of their training they certainly unfamiliar with the p hme that beset the paroled yit. although each one would ini erected in the social condit which would influence him.

Approxi mately 109,766 men were employ ed in these industries this year, an increase of more than 16,000 over the employment of a year ago .Members of the comm'* Ion believe that as.tlement of labor troubles. which held the state in their grip a year ago account for h? increase in employment and payrolls this year.
