WHILE we observe the youth of today in foreign lands
blindly heeding the whims of selfish, power-seeking dicta
tors and demagogues, we are reminded of the words of James
Bettie, Scottish poet and philosopher;
"The aim of education should be to teach us rather HOW
TO THINK than WHAT TO THINK."
After surveying the tumult in the world today, the great
historian, H. 0. Wells declared that "civilization is running a
close race between catastrophe and EDUCATION."
And so, it is to EDUCATION, wisely imparted, that we turn
as the hope of civilization's ultimate triumph over catastrophe
. . . the broadening of Intellectual horizons so that youth today
will know HOW to think; will know how to appraise facts and
conditions with basic soundness; will have wholesome skepti
cism, tolerance and human sympathies.
.....
"T"HE greatest hope of future society is INDIVIDUAL C'HAR-
ACTER NOW!" Along with the home and the church,
the public schools are entrusted with the responsibility of
BUILDING this character in youth; upon the success or failure
of their efforts rests the fate of civilization itself I
Growing interest in our educational system is based upon
America's realization of this tremendous responsibility. JIuch
of the wealth of this nation is invested in the education of youth
. . no public expenditure is more important I An occasional
checking up on this investment; a frequent and frank appraisal
of the returns we are getting for our educational money, is just
sound, good business.
We are justified in asking these questions: "Are our public
schools meeting the responsibility entrusted to themt ... Is
our educational system waging a successful fight in America's
struggle to maintain her traditional principles of democracy
and civilization itself?"

Day's News
HOW NERVOUS MAY A WO MAN RE AT FORTY-EIOHTf
CO that the people of this community may take inventory of
J the activities, the achievements and the nroitress of Modford
schools,, public school officials here have planned an ALL
SCHOOL FAIR, May 5 and 6, at the high school buil'ding. Herc;
the work of the senior and junior high school and grade school
students will be exhibited . . . competitive features liRve been
eliminated and displays will be made by departments rathe
than by schools.
. VISIT to the All School Fair will show that Mcdford
schools are not limiting their instruction to the "three
R's" and rigidly prescribed courses ... the importance of
practical vocational instruction; the need of creating interest
in hobbies for leisure hours, are fully recognized . . . physical
education and athletics of a nature that, ALL may- benefit, also
have their place in the educational program today.
Many Medford' citizens, who avail themselves of this oppor
tunity to learn more about their own schools, will be surprised
to find that splendid progress is being made in what are called
leisure art classes" in grade schools. Entirely separate from
the regular art classes, boys and girls are taught the art of
pottery making, hand blocking of linens, bead and basket work
wood carving and clay moulding. In the junior high school
this instruction takes the form of "clubs" wherein the young
sters are encouraged in such interesting hobbies as model
airplane making, gardening and archery. In senior high school,
tuihlifl snenkinir and radio broadcasting, music and dramatics
find important places in the curriculum. Instruction in traffic
regulations, the correct handling of automobiles and the rules
of safe and courteous driving form another, essentially practical
part of the high school educational program.
f
SCHOOL officials here appreciate the lact tiuit Hie large
mainritv of students do not attend college; they recognize
the need for practical vocational instruction so mat boys ana
izirls will be equipped for remunerative occupation upon leaving
Bchnol.
The Future Craftsmen club in Medford high school has been
the happy solution of this problem. Through this olub, young
people actuallv work in stores and shops of this city during
afternoons and Saturdays, attending classes and carrjmg
lar school subjects in the mornings. Capable instruction is
given in industrial relations; personal assistance and advice are
available to each member; regular meetings are nein una mm
vidua! problems ironed out.

HIS newspaper enthusiastically endorsed this vocational pro-
eram a vear ago ... . now, with 24 graduates of this depart
ment working on .their original jobs or following the trade
they were schooled in, we are more than ever convinced of
its merit!
Put the school fair on your MUST list for Thursday or
Friday; see what the boys and girls in TOUR schools are doing;
check up on YOUR investment.
You owe it to the youngsters. You owe it to yoursen.
It is our guess that you will leave this fair with a feeling max

day, as education gradually per

So, If tho majority of women are

Of course I am aware that many

and smooth her path a bit.
The woman who suffers from hot
flashes or flushes does well to heed
them suggestion a:
(1) Tf more than 10 per cent over
weight, change the diet habit In a
moderate degree particularly taking
less refined carbohydrate.
(3) Favor, hlgh-oajctum diet as
much as possible milk, cheese, eggs,
greens, peas, beans, carrots, nuts.
(S) Try supplementing the diet
for a month or two or three times
a year with additional calcium and
vitamin D (which promote utllt
tlon of calcium).
(4) If the hot flashes are too fre
quent and too distressing go to your
physician for a series of intramuscu
lar Injections of ovarian hormone
( variously called amnlotln, theelln
lutein, progynon).
Recently several women who be
gan taking calcium and vitamin D
(for other conditions) reported
prompt relief of the hot flashes from
which they had been suffering.
No woman who wlshea to keep well
can afford to ascribe any kind of
"nervous" trouble to her age.

f ENBY FORD comes smiling from
his mueA-dlaousaed conference
at the White House, but as to what
happened and what was said he la
as mum as the proverbial oyster.
Is he amillng with pleased antici
pation, or Is he like the boy who
came grinning from - the woodshed
because It wasn't as bad as he ex
pec ted?
CONDITIONS, Ford told the walt
lng reporters, are going to change
and change for the better. And, he
added, he doubts If there will be war
In Europe In spite of gloomy dis
patches from abroad.
That certainly makes encouraging
reading. The dickens of it Is, though,
that Henry doesn't know any more
about what is going to happen than
you or I.
But we'll hope his guess Is right.
IN New York, they've Just formed an
organization called the "National
League to Oppose a Third Term for
President."
Senator Wheeler, of Montana (who
led the fight against the scheme to
pack the supreme court) says of the
new organization:
"Although many people seem to
think the president will run for a
third term, I can't conceive of any
man doing It or winning If he tried."
THAT sums up the uaae for and
nt7oit the third term Idea.
If Ihe United States of America
decides to throw overboard the tra
dition that no president may notd
office for more than two term It
will no longer be the United States
of America that our fathers have
known.
As Senator Wheeler says. It's pretty
hard to Imagine that as happening.

an Idea which once fascinated, but

president referred briefly to both the
quota and the annual wage scheme,
but Mr. Ford showed plainly that he
would have none of them.
Evidently the mention of a gen

Walter P. Chrysler and John L. Lewis,
and to have tied the alliance to Wall

It seems, however, that the real
clashes were not between the pres
ident and Mr. Ford, but between Mr.
Ford and Chairman Marrtner S. Ec
clea of the federal reserve board. Mr.
Eccles had been brought in by the
president as his second when Mr.
Ford Insisted on the presence at the
luncheon of his public relations ad
viser, W. J. Cameron.
Whether or not Mr. Eccles had
cherished the hope of converting Mr.
Ford to the New Deal's program, he
appears to have prepared consider
able propaganda material. The first
Eccles sermon offered to Mr. Ford, so
the story goes, was on the beautits
of the administration housing program.
I've done more for housing ray-
self than the government has," snap
ped Mr. Ford, who has large work
men's projects at his factories.
Mr. Eccles Is not easily discouraged.
however. After his disappointment on
housing, he is said to have whipped
out a memorandum defending the ad
ministration's new spending program.
In .the memorandum was embedded
the familiar Eccles maxim, "the more
you spend, the quicker the recovery."
Mr. Ford's answer to this Is under
stood to have been a firm statement
that "the less this country spends,
the quicker the recovery."
And, finally, Mr. Eccles is reported
to have tried to discuss the automo
bile business with Mr. Ford. An ar
gument promptly developed, in the
course of which Mr. Eccles waa quite
naturally forced Into the position of
telling Mr. Ford how his own Indus- i
try should be run. This Mr. Ford Is
stated to have met with the simple
remark :
"I think I've done pretty well tn
the business myself."
Whatever Mr. Ford said to Mr. Ec
cles during the meeting, even If this
report of their conversation Is not
half as authentic a its source would
Indicate. It Is certain Mr. Ford took
a violent dislike to Mr. Eccles. After
he reached New York, he couldn't get
him out of his mind. Among other
things, he asked lor the Eccles his
tory. On being told Mr. Eccles was a
Mormon, he said musingly:

What a rest for their "dogs"
once they got astride!
No care if the nay was sorrel
or dappled gray
No thought for the farmer
who furnished the hay!
So long as they had an easier
way gettin' 'round,
A lot less fatiguing effort in
covering the ground !
Shucks, why not start wish

With themselves REAL rid
