"*■ Tuesday, March 28, 1933 Reforming Our Educational System There is a lot of talk about reforming our educa tional system. It really ought to be done. We are training entirely too many folks for the fields they will never enter. Our schools of engineering are bringing out too many folks. The jobs are all gone and there are no more in sight. We seeto to have plenty of merchants, plenty of lawyers, plenty of news|>a|)er folks, and plenty of automobile mechanics. These are only a few ol the. professions and trades that are over crowded, and with no prospect for any increased de mand for many.years to come. Then what should we train for, in the public schools? Our greatest need is training in political and social science, two subjects that we know least about and need most. We do not know enough about government to even make good citizens. About all we do know along this line is to be lined up and shot through the voting booth /in election days and criti cize and condemn the balance of the time. We really do not know what democracy is in its turest sense, nor do we know how to preserve it up to a respectable standard, which its principle implies. As to social science, we do not seem to be able to preserve and improve our conditions as rapidly as we might. -.'While we have made some progress worthy of our times in the improvement ot health conditions, it is generally conceded that we are making very lit tle advancement in our moral conditions, and many authorities think we are making no forward movement religiously. * It would be well for us to let the schools switch to training in the fundamentals of government, the kind that helps people and causes governments to stand. And the social field is unlimited. Every boy and girl should be taught the proper value of a home, the kind of home to have, and how to build a home (not a house), where |)eace, love, health, and service a bound, and how to avoid disease, hardships, hates, suspicions, jealousies, and discords. And one of the most important things that needs to be stressed in the schools is the art of making a living for one's self, rather than to prepare to be hirelings and servants for some one else. We need to find our examples from peoples of the old world, who have preserved themselves for cen turies, and are still leading us by adhering to sounder methods of government and more scientific methods of living. • . Our schools should be ojieraled on the premise that we are all citizens, and train for citizenship. Cheaper Hospital Service Just a few years ago, the cry was for more hos pitals. Everybody said we needed more hospitals. Now the American Medical Society says we have too many, pointing to 200,000 vacant hospital beds. The reason for these empty beds is hardly the fact that they are fj not needed—it is because people are unabl to |>ay the cost of hospital service, so they are forced to languish and suffer at home in cheaper beds and take the chance of getting better by the healing power of nature. Only the wealthy or fairly well-to-do can afford hospital service now, except in extreme cases. Some plan should be worked out wherebymore hos pital service may be secured at smaller cost. IJOO Bills in State Legislature The bills introduced in the legislature now number above 1,500. However, most of them are duplicates and many of them have to be specially marked for identification. The number and kind introduced makes little difference. The things that count will be the number passed as well as the numbed never thought of. w This Age Is Too Speedy The killing contest is getting very close between the automobile and the airplane. There is not a pap er printed that does not carry an account of some death by a plane falling or a car overturning. About the only safe travel now seems to be plow ing in a field over the fence and across a ditch, a safe distance from the road. This age is just 100 speedy. There are too many fast folks. Danger in a Big Crop oi Tobacco Noah preached righteousness to the people during the hundred years he was building the ark. The world, did not heed and were drowned. The farmers of the country are being told that we have a good supply of tobacco on hand and that gen eral conditions are bad all over the tobacco world, which means that a moderate crop will fully supply the demand and at a price but little above cost. If we have a small crop, prices will be good. But, on | the other hand, if we have the big crop that is now 1 indicated, there is no hope for prices at a profit. Every [ farmer should remember that crops that bring no | profit will ultimately prove a severe loss. Good authorities on tobacco conditions advise cut- I ting the cost of production and striving to make good quality tobacco. Trouble Not Over in Central Europe What will Hitler do about paying the German war debts? Taking the general attitude of the "dictator" into consideration, it looks like if other nations get anything else from Germany, they will have to use harsh methods. When people throw themselves at the feet of one man as their supreme ruler, the chances are that he will require them to do two things for him: Work for him and fight for him. The troubles of Central Europe are not settled yet, and the Allied nations will likely get no settlement. A Rejected Leadership Greensboro Daily News. The House's capitulation to the Bowie philosophy of abandonment and defeatism, carrying with it the strong likelihood of a collapse of the functions of gov ernment during the next bi-ennium, is another one of those strange quirks for which the political system, meaning North Carolina in this particular instance, is notoriously famous. Last June, Mr.—beg pardon, Judge—Bowie came down out of the hills, not on the mountain railroad which he championed so ardently a decade ago, either, to ask the Tar Heel citizenry to give him the Demo cratic senatorial nomination. He stumped the State from Currituck to Cherokee, exhorting the brethren mightily and outlining in his oratorical bids for votes certain plans, [>olicies, and programs dealing with North Carolina revenue, finances, and tax burdens. During the course of the campaign, it was won dered what United States Senator Bowie, if that he got to IK-, could do about these strictly state matters. The Honorable Tarn campaigned on essentially local issues. But when the voting rolled around and the tabulators finished their task, it was discovered that the citizenry had not taken so kindly to his postu lates. Out of a total vote of 369,283 for the short term nomination, Judge Bowie and his program were the choice of 38,548 voters. In the long-term contest, the judge received 36,414 votes out of a 356,186 total. Defeated on a statewide basis and the bid for state wide leadership which it represented, Mr. Bowie was subsequently nominated by the Democratic conven tion for membership in the House, which thus ex plains his presence at Raleigh and his efforts, con ducted from a county operating base, to foist upon the State the self-same ideas and policies against which Tar Heel citizenry spoke so positively eight months ago. The General Assembly is woefully in need of leadership when it follows a defeatist advocate of such recorded inacceptabHity. California Justice Greensboro Daily News The unexepected move of a California jurist in or dering a new trial for Tom Mooney is another one of those freakish manifestations of justice which, even though it served a corrective purpose, will do little, if anything, to redeem the blind goddess from the dis repute into which she has sunk under west coast min istrations. The outcome of such a hearing will have no direct effect upon the count for which Mooney is now serv ing a life term. True, the indictment represents a parallel case, based upon the same incident, the San Francisco preparedness day parade of 1916, with the only difference being the insertion of new names as the bomb's victims. The only hope of Mooney and his friend is that acquittal in the present instance would get full facts before the nation and, indirectly, through an arousal of public opinion, ser*e to secure a pardon from California authorities who have re mained adamant on the previous count. The princi ple of vindication would undoubtedly be strong for the defendant. t If, however, the former radical leader is acquitted, California justice, as it has functioned for the past 17 years, first in his conviction with the death pen alty averted only through intervention of President Wilson and subsequently in the refusal of a string of governors to extend clemency or the courts which have been continuously petitioned to take any action, de spite a mass of new evidence, will be revealed in what many will conceive a worse light than ever, if that can be. As matters stand now, California blindly main tains its position, protestations of the Mooney de fense eliciting a mere shrug of official shoulders. To show, in a court which has opened its doors to a new trial 16 years too late, that the prisoner has been wrongfully and prejudiciously held in prison for any such period would make that long-standing attitude doubly obnoxious. But California authorities have only themselves to blame. If, as a part of the new deal, they have to lie in their own bed, it will be no more they de ierve, and, while showing up their particular brand of justice will serve the term in its general and abstract lense to needed purpose.
