The Inconsistency of It All
It wasn't much to attract attention, but the
ordering of a little Negro urchin to the gutter
with his shoeshine box while bicycles blocked
a third of the sidewalk just a few feet away
offers in bold comparison the unfairness and
inconsistency in this old world today.
The little fellow, busily rubbing the shoes of
a considerate customer, cornered only a foot
01 two of the sidewalk Probably he was work
ing to get a dime for a show ticket, and prob
ably he was violating the law by taking up two
feet of a side walk that is admittedly quite nar
row to accommodate the crowds that frequent
the thoroughfare Without murmur or com
plaint, the little fellow gave the officer an ap
pealing glance, and realizing that the order
must be obeyed even if it interrupted the trans
action moved into the gutter U> complete the
task.
That boy knew he was violatuig a town or
dinance. but he chanced to earn the dime or
nickle with the full knowledge that he could
move into the gutter if an officer happened
along. He expected to move, and did move,
without pointing to the five or six bicycles
that were stacked side by side on the walk just
a few feet away.
Too often the little guy who wanders just
across the law's line in trying to make a living
is called to answer while the big. strong fel
low enjoys a greater freedom
Move the bicycles.
A Modern Miracle
Thaw who would doubt the miracle of the
lew loaves and fishes, will find a situation even
more baffling in the nation's hanking just now.
All told, the bankers have seven hill inn dol
lars in cash, buildings and furniture and fix
tures. They have lent to Uncle Sam around
thirty-five billion dollars In addition to that
they have lent about twenty-nine billion dol
lars direct to the people. And with what's left
over they invested around eighteen billion dol
lars in tax free bonds.
Probably some such system ought to be de
? vvsr-rf fot labor and agriculture, but so far the
art of lending more than one has and drawing
interest on what you haven't got is peculiar to
the finance field. It's just one of those modern
miracles, and takes place under an economic
I system that allows the laborer to starve and
agriculture to go begging for a fair price for
things that are actual.
Detail lor Balanced State
Nnn It Observer
"The public school system cannot compare
with the prison camps in sanitation." John
Faulkner, assistant engineer with the State
board of Health, told sanitary inspectors and
engineers at a State College conference The
camps, he added, are "models of sanitation."
So the Balanced State can take a proper
pride in the improved condition of its prison
camps, it is nevertheless unfortunate that it
cannot apparently be proud also of the sani
tary condition of its schools. Of that school
condition the news story of Faulkner's speech
reported:
Faulkner said that privies are still used in
2 >84 schools of the State with an enrollment
ol 248.000 children and that 114 schools with
4.100 pupils have no sewage disposal facilities
of any sort
Toilets in 26 per cent of the schools with
commodes were found in an insanitary condi
tion. Faulkner reported. His figures were based
on a State-wide survey conducted last year in
4 :>S schools with 964.836 children. He said the
survey, which covered practically every school
i-i the State, revealed progress in school sani
tation and water supply since the last survey
in 1931. but added "there is still considerable
loom for improvement-"
So sensible person would wish to establish a
balance between the convicts and the children
l-v pulling the conditions of the prison camps,
down to the level of the public schools But
true patriots as well as parents should insist
that the sanitary conditions surrounding the
children in the schools be at least as good as
those with which the Balanced State surrounds
its criminals in its prisons.
