Modern medical science can prevent lock-jaw, or hydrophobia,' caused by infection from rabies germs, if it 'is. given oppor tunity to start treatment in time. Despite this, how ever, one hears now and then of someone dying in excruciating' agony because anti-rabies treatment was not. administered. Ignorance is probably responsible for far more suffering- than germs. This vis the season when dogs go mad. Don't wait'-. for 'a dog to bite you or someone else to find out whether he is mad.

"I cannot too often repeat the Xht schools of the nation are crumbling before our eyes." In supiort of this view, he cites: . "Appropriations for schools are everywhere being drastically re duced " . "The responsibilities. 'of the schools arc everywhere increasing. "More students are crowding into their halls. "The school year is being reduced. "Schools are. closing. "Classes are being enlarged beyond the point of educational ef ficiency. "School staffs .are being slaughtered. "The building of schools, here and there and yonder, is not keeping pac with population. "Equipment gone obsolete is not being replaced . "Kjiidergsirieiis-are- beitig ;hut -down, -- "Manual - training, art, --music,- physical training, -domestic- arts- and innumerable things that have enriched education beyond the mcinoriz- tng of -text books are being torn ' out of ilie" schools? " "Special classes for handicapped .children' are being abolished. "Salaries, already meager, are being cut and cut again,." hat" I )r. Frank """says """is "largely true ';""sch('')l''"appfi)p'natioiisTiiWe' bt drastically cut, teachers' salaries reduced and, in many instances, terms shortened. Yet, somehow, 'we find it difficult to agree with this nted educator's conclusion 'that the educational system' is bound for thejf bow-wows! Rather, we see in recent developments signs of a GhSTige, a change which we sincerely hope will be for the better. Education lias made great strides in the past half century, great strides . in affording educational advantages to the' masses and great stridej in material lines. More and liner schools have been built and educators now can boast that almost anyone who desires an education and also many who do not) can now receive it. Yet, well educated men are few. There are plenty of high school -graduates, -even plenty -of college graduates, but -only a -small proportion of them could be called well educated. One trouble is, we believe, that, education hns been made too easy, ..so easy, that it Is inclined to defeat its own purpose, ...Then, too, modern educators, like modern manufacturers, are prone to stress mass pro duction. That, no doubt, is a fault of the times rather than of the educators. The percentage of illiteracy is-far less today than it was half a century ago, but where are the nun who, like Abe Lincoln, had such burning .desire for education that they obtained il theinsch e.s without the aid of public, schools and heavily endowed universities? We would not suggest return to the educational standards of Lincoln's day far from it; but there are indications that our educational system has grown so rapidly that, like a boy in his teens, it has not rounded out its development. '.' One writer, deploring the 'results of modern education, pointed out that it is difficult to find in America today first class cabinet-makers of American birth and under -1(1 years of !t;.e. The schools are not turning out good cabinet makers or .pood artisans in' any lime. Ar tisans cannot be taught in Schools ; the "Id guilds were, far more successful, than the schools of today in this respict. Even, the trade, unions, as1 they used to function, with th' ir Miict legijlations nowrn- ing apprenucesnips, nevciopeu a iiiencr type ot artisan. I lie sciioois can turn out. wholesale 'a- mediocre class of white collar workers; but do we need more white collar workers? The time has to "turn the corner" tn education, as well -as in other things. We are. an ardent supporter of public schools-, and sincere ly regret the necessity of cutting school appropriations, but we cannot heU but wonder whether the results of modern educational methods folly justify their cost.

BUSY SEASON With the adjournment of Con gress there will still be plenty' to do. around Washington! President Roosevelt promises to. be a btisv man. In fact lie will be the busies: leace-time President we have ever had, if he Carries out all the func tions which have been heaped P' m him by Congress. Certainly no American Congress has ever, in time of profound na tional peace, given so much, power to a President as the first session under the Roosevelt administration has given to Mr. Roosevelt. Every phase of our ' national life is af fected, financial, agricultural, in dustrial and social. , Fortunately for Mr. Roosevelt and for the country, the President is. given wide latitude to use his owrit judgment, in carrying ' but some if the ideas of Congress. In oth er words the . legislators in unany instances have given the Chief Ex ecutive the power to "make over" our economic fabric, but they have not made the process mandatory. He can do as he pleases. The list of powers, either manda tory or discretionary, conferred on the President make an imposing list. They have been summarized by Oliver McKee.Jr., arid published in a recent issue of the Boston Transcript as follows: "To make heavy reductions in the acreage devoted to farming, "To levy a tax on the processors of agricultural products. "To .'approve codes of fair com petition in industry. "To fix minimum hours and min imum , wages for industrial em ployees, with the licensing "of busi ness enterprises. "To spend up to $3,300,(XX),0(IOon construction of public and semi public improvements. "To spend up, to $250,000,000 on the maintenance of the Civilian Conservation Corps. "To modify or suspend anti-trust laws when industries come to agree ments among themselves satisfac tory to the President. "To fix pensions for war vet erans, arid their .dependents, and to change existing pension regulations. "To raise or lower the wages of Federal employees on the basis of the rise and fall in the purchasing power of the dollar. "To legalize or outlaw the pos session of monetary gold stocks by American citizens, and place an embargo"-on the" exportation of gold, and require licenses to en gage in foreign exchange transac tions. -t,o--dircTttlnr-Federal- Reserve bankstrr7Jurchasc up to $3,000,000, -000 m government obTTgafioris! j4-ssuei?$3,T)TO new currency.

V - WORLD CONFERENCE ..Ivor thc-firs-t-4-iine in thehistory of the world 66 nations, all but one, are meeting in conference Red men, white men, yellow men black nun and brown men have realized that they hold civilization and progress in common, theirs t so promulgate. -ome oi-me mings recognized as blocking the progress of the work and some of the things the World Monetary and Economic Confer ence at London hope to straightei out are, the fluctuating value of the various' monies of nations, high tariff rates or unstable world tariff levels," low prices and, last but not least, the frozen foreign debt owed the United States. Other depressions or panics have noun- aim oue in mosi oi me civilized parts of the world be fore, Put this one is world wide Some nations have tried. 'with, par tial success, to protect their people by keeping out foreign articles by tariff walls and boycott, But in this modern world the interests of nations are so inter-locking that a national economic' policy of this sort apparently'-works a hardship on the nation that adopts it. Other nations use retaliatory tariffs, blocking the output of home indus try and causing slnit-downs and unemployment. President liooseve.lt had. let it be known that he did not think this conference was the time or place to talk about what other countries owed the United States. ' But it was one ot the things of most con- cern to other nations and- one of the things the most of them wished to talk about. Consequently they disregarded his wishes. The 'outcome of the Conference can hardly be successful. About the only thing that can be done, and that not easily, is to standard ize money so that it will have a world wide standard value. Con cessions can lie made by individual nations to allow free trade, or near free trade in certain articles or commodities, but we believe it will necessarily stop at that. We see no . reason to think that the United States will open her doors to articles produced below our cost of production because of the low standard of living in some coun tries, or why the United Kingdom should or will give up her trade advantages within the Empire or with South American, countries. Jt4s -conceivable-thatthere is no world over supply of the basic commodities. Millions of people are .generally in want, thousands sutter famine every year. But world thought or feeling, does not appear sufficient to provide the economic structure for an equitable distribution. WINTER GARDEN (Fla.) JOURNAL. ' GET THE RIGHT WAR Yesterday three, more states placed themselves in the repeal column, making the score 14 to 0. Yesterday Bob Reynolds, one of the best guessers since Evangeline Adams, predicted North : Carolina would vote to supersede the 18th amendment to the Federal consti tution when the ' chance comes. Yesterday too . there was effected aiiLrsaatioiLiifhX limans known as the United Re peal Council, so that,, taken , as a whole, yesterday comprised an ex ceedingly disastrous 24 hours for those who would have Tarheelia vote to retain national prohibition. It begins to look bad for the ilrys, arid probably they would be the first to admit how bad it looks. Yet to those people who feel that it would be unwise and dangerous to' expose North Carolina, with its mixed races and notable capacity for raising trouble, to legal liquor we make the suggestion that they take heart. For the events of yesterday have nothing to do with North Caro lina's own wetness or dryness. Senator Reynolds was careful to restrict "his observations to national prohibition. Not once did he men tion the Turlington Act. Further fnore, fowa,NewHanyshire and Connecticut, while they voted to tyidJjiaijonaQ possibly interfere with.

It's plain enough, isn't it? that in hovember North Carolina will not be voting on whether to become w;et or remain dry. Under those circumstances, and since a large measure of tolerance is involved in the immediate premises, our advice to the State drys is to save th ammunition until their own flank is attacked., ihis is a different scrap.

' . - Crops do not find a ready mar ket these days and guest rooms do. That ' is the explanation of the signs, and it is a very easy way to make money. There is no large outlay of money to start this business. One has his house and land already and he knows how to entertain com pany. It is a natural thing to cater to the tastes and wishes of personal guests. Motorists are merely guests that one has not met before, but : they have the same taste in common interest in coun try things There is no doubt that the people who have ; opened their homes to motorists and are . giving them what they want are making real money. I personally know of many. There is a widow in Michigan who is paying for her tiny cottage with but two guest rooms. A woman and her. daughter in Massachusetts keep open house in summer and go to Miami on the proceeds in the winter. An Indiana banker who lost his health is making a very excellent living for himself and family from motorists. In Ohio 1 know a woman -who is sending her son through college by renting rooms to those who travel by ma chined There are hundreds of such others and there is plenty of busi ness for many more. The motorists who stay in houses on th highway are city or bi g town residents. They select these bouses In preference to" cify'botels because they want to enjoy the country. They are seeking a dif ferent atmosphere than they know in the city. That is the thing to give them a real country atmo sphere. Wben one -is starting this new business there are two questions to. ask. First-how can I make motor ists stop at my place? Second what do they want to find when they stop? It is a very comforting thought to know that no house can be hopelessly unattractive that has a plot of ground around it. Many times I have stayed in houses that were ugly in themselves, but the grounds had been so delightfully planted that I could not pass them by. A small house may be quite as attractive as a large one. City LEGAL ADVERTISING signs of J. W.
