K a. liaWrtot, $ TODAY and TOMORROW (By Frank Parker Stookbridge) ENGINEERS . . facts v?. fheories Dr. Karl T.

That i=r .seldom true of politicians. \ . } EDUCATION '. . criticism It if-a good sign that so many pco:1 pie.are coming out with criticism^ of 'our educational systems and methods. Everything which affects the public Welfare ne^ds to be challenged every so dften. If it can't stand up under scrutiny, it should be reformed or, abolished. y :??. The latest rtitjeiwu of Atncrienn1 educational methods is that we have followed too > blindly the European i tradition that' education is' intended lo create a superior culture which only a few ean acquire. I have, long believed that one of the failings of American schools is that they tend to impose upo.i you/hful minds the.idea that education has no relation to the rSalitW of life. - ., There is only one educational pur pose which justifies taxing the' whole people for if. That purpose jsjo Vrt able those ifcho get an educBtleo. to-' understand life, not 4 a' different kind t of life,' but the life of theiij environ ment and upbringing, and as to jftV. more easily ^into the actual their.people i.nd their times/,*" ! FEVER . . . j&ff <?ores found! Several years ag6 I was lunching At Schenectady with Dr. Willis R. Whitney, who told nu? that he had last cfiscovered in the General Electric laboratory that very short radio waves passing through the body would set up a fever, which ceaied when the waves stopped. "It has interesting possibilities," be said, "and we're having some medical experts look i at o it." Out of that (accidental discovery has grown an entirely new medical t(>chniquc for the treatment of many diAcaaqs, Phynicjins had discovered t that malarial fever would cure certain types of-insanity, but malaria itself was nothing to fool with. Now they are using the short radio waves- to would provido for a "waiting period" between any Labor demand aud actio? by either party to a labor dis pute. In this waiting period it would i be illegal for workers to atiike or for employers to lock them out. The intense interest Washington is displaying in the Labor question arises from a growing feeling that the mili* tant Labor movement initiated by the C. I. 0. is rapidly getting out of hand. Mr. Lewis and his lieutenants aw finding it more and more difficult to keep their more hmt-hoaded followers under control, thus creating a situa tion which h&d already started whis pers of "revolution." That anything like a revolution is imminent no one in Washington seriously admite, but the dnnger in +he Labor crisis is ad mitted on sit sides. Budget planners learned with a bit of a shock that tho incomo tax collec tions of M.xrch 15 wore far behind the Treasury's calculations, and on the basis of, returns already llV?d, it looks as if ttio deficit at the end of the fiscal year, June 30/ would be five hundred million dolhOs more than had been estimated. The new tax in un distributed corporate earnings, enact ed last Summer, ha.j not yielded nearly as ranch as had been antici pated. With a deficit for 1937 of three billions, Congress if/ faced with the imperative need for economy in the 1938 budget or for mare taxes. It ic anybody's guess which oourse wtU be WPA SPENT LARGE SUM tvrtlv. During the two years from January 15,1935, to January 15,1937, the Fed eral Government, through the Works Progress Administration, has spent a total of $175,135.15 in Jackson county. Of that amount $1)55,878.88 has been paid out for and to labor. The- rest has gome for the purchase of materials The fcchool districts, county, munici palities and other sponsoring agencies have expended 20 j>er cent of that amount. These figures were released to The Journal yesterday, by an official of the WPA of the Asheville officc. set tip -artificial fevers, and 1 saw a report recently of successful cures of arthritis, a3thma and even more seri ous diseases by this method.
