Address all communications to The Enterprise When Education Fails Of Its Purpose Education is claiming the world's knowledge and the power to live and attention today as it has never befor# l.t lp ourselves, it has failed, done. The reason is that it has be- Education may make us even strong come more necessary than ever before, er than the lion, but if we only get There was a day when man had to the lion's ideal of protecting his own guard but one opening to his castle, whelps, coupled with the desire to because there was only one approach— butcher somebody else's kid, or fawn, that of the common level—and the ap- or lamb, then we are even as dange*- P roaches of both the friend as well as OUK as the lion. ( the enemy were very seldom. The education that man needs is Now, it .is different. The world is that which kindles a desire to help passing bv every day and every hour, others and which expands his ca ll is watching us from the port and pacity to execute such desires, starboard; and not only on the level, We must be careful not to inscribe but from above and below. With all Caesar on our educational banner, be thel approaches, it becomes necessary too liable to kindle the that every man so fortify himself baser side of man. Hut we should that he may withstand the approach rather place the Cross of Christ on nf both the enemy as well as thv our educational banner. If we do the friend , m " re we h'arn, the mor-j we will love; Yet, if all the education that we i nd the more we love, the more we have does not more than give us the "v. ill serve. Decline of the Legal Profession The legislature refused to pass a biii requiring more extensive prepara tion for admission to the practice of law. It may be that too many unpre pared men arc licensed to practice law lit the courts c' ' •" ' ':ite, Hit that is . i liot the greatest drawback to judicial procedure. The fact thai the lexal profession has lost so much of its; ethical dignity is the bi»c drawback—j There \va.>- a time in the days gone, JV when a lawyer would du.el any man I who even remotely intimated that he J WHS lowering the dignity of the pro- j fe. ,-icn by soliciting falsehoods or; frauds. So far a-s we know, there is no line! of business today, either in the pro-1 fessional or industrial field, that has i No Excuse for Defeat The greatest disappointment that, the legislature (tave the people v.as when it failed to pass the Australian' La Hot bill. This bill came very near being en acted into law by the 1926 legislature, after which all of the women of the State got behind it; many of the lead ing politicians of the StaJ* declared for it, and the people all wanted it. Vet, for some unknown reason, it failed. Nobody, so far, has given a clear reason why it failed. Some say one tiling, some another. Perhaps there are not more than 169 men and one woman, members of the general osfembly, that can explain the presto change of thought, desires, and prom ises, which scared them into breaking thfir election promises, or who taught them such wisdom that they felt jus tified in changing their old ideals for newer and better ones. Some • say that the old war horae, A. O. Watts, was the man that turned ■'i ■ ) the trick; that with his long years of I experience, he could make men forget i their election promiaes to their people | und help a few office-hungry friends. Others say that Governor McLean cracked hia whip no loud that lota of the fellowa fell down, and when they got up they had forgotten their pre election promises and they tuned ft) on the politician'* song. It make.* no difference how it hap pened; everybody know* it wa* done for no other purpose than to help a Uw very big politician* manipulate ; Mowed its ethical dignity to be ! ragged into the slime'of unfair com petition as has the legal profession. We are glad to say not all lawyers ;iie guilty—yet we are forced to say too many. Perhaps this is one of the reasons v by the courts are being criticized. They can not function as a just reti nue of the sovereign. The faults of the court today are the false witness, the dishonest law yer, and the unjust judge; and when say the dishonest lawyer is con tributing as much to fhttdisgrace of judicial procedure today as the un truthful witness, we think we have .sai* enough. of Australian Ballot the primaries to help themselves into office. The Australian ballot would elimi nate absentee voters, ftjtwould stop few old-time election officials from putting 40,000 such votes into the bal lot boxes of the State.
