Education Commissioner
Points Out Value of Train
ing and Aid to War Effort.
By Dr. John W. Studebaker
U. S. Commissioner of Education
Washington, D. C. (Spl.)
"Most children are being em
ployed during vacations and
after school hours, and at higher
rates of pay, than at any time
in history. This is commend
able not only because, collec
tively, they are able to make a
considerable contribution to the
war program but also because
they are acquiring valuable,
work experience.
"But children who earn or
who are given by suddenly pros
perous parents more spending
money than they can wisely
handle will, after satisfying their
relatively simple needs, turn
to commercialized amusement
ment which not infrequently
leads to commercialized vice.
Child welfare agencies attribute
the startling rise in juvenile de
linquency in part to lack of par
ental supervision, including con
trol over the child's earnings
and expenditures.
' Big Sum Possible
. "During the last school year,
according to reports received by
the treasury s war finance divi
sion, children purchased ap
proximately $300,000,000 worth
of war bonds of which ?40,uuuv
000 was subscribed in the 'jeep'
. drive of last spring. It is esti
mated that the peak has not
been reached and that boys and
girls of school age could pur
chase $500,000,000 worth of
bonds a year.
"This sum represents but a
fraction of the $15,000,000,000
which the country Is asked to
subscribe in the third war loan
drive. But even if it were far
less, the schools would find it
of value to enlist the children's
maximum support.
"Here is an opportunity to
stress the homely virtue of
thrift, the wisdom of adding to
a college fund, of building for
a secure and contented old age,
Teacher Should Aid
"The teacher who emphasizes
that the buyer, of a bond is an
investor in his country is aiding
in the creation of a citizen in
terested in his government, and
an interested citizen is usually
a good citizen.
"Using war loan materials,
the schools can inculate some
lessons in elementary economics,
of which many adults appear
ienorant under wartime condi
tions. Children should under
stand how excess buying power
leads to competition for scarce
commodities and how this re
sults in price inflation and
' eventual disaster.
"Most school children are old
enough to be capable of under
standing how this war started
and -how we can win it only
through sacrifice of human life
and treasure. The schools can
do no better than to point out
that democracy, as a way ot lite,
is not an inheritance which we
mav cniov in perpetuity dui,
rather, a trust which we must
guard and, if necessary, fight to
preserve.

CEASE OPERATION
Because of a steadily decreas
ing demand by farmers for
water, the Talent Irrigation Dis
trict will cease operations for
the summer the middle of this
week, it was announced Satur
day by R. M. Kent, manager.
Kent said that "the season
has been very good," and that
there would be a holdover of
6,000 acre feet in Hiatt reser
voir, considerably above aver
age. With a normal precipita
tion this winter a good supply
of water will be available for
1944, he stated. Irrigation was
about normal this summer, he
said.
E. H. Judd, manager, said the
Medford Irrigation District and
the Rogue River Valley Irriga
tion District would continue to
operate "until we get a good
rain." He said there would be
more holdover than at any time
in the past two years.
