pressed the hope that, it might
“break down some of the smug- |
ness, cock-sureness and ignorant
dogmatism so common among those \
who have never heard of scientific
methods and are blissfully uncon- j
scioux of what Is involved in the
serious study of social and civic
problems."
Gambrill was called into advise
With the Maryland state depart- j
ment of education concerning the |
experiment in Queen Anne's county, j
results of which will form the basis ■
for extension of "problem courses
over the state.
"The pupil must leant how to
gather facts," Gambrill sHys. "He
should learn that, our public prob
lems are for the most part com
plex, and that men of education
and intelligence differ about, them,
which hardly Justifies dogmatism in
a youngster; thnt very few citi
zens, even the most accomplished,
have the time and facilities for
thorough study of any*great num
ber of problems; that- we live in an
age of propaganda; thqt there arc
specialists in many fields who are,
relatively at least, objective in their
methods of study and whose find
ings must be considered.
“We might hope also that out
pupil would make some progress in
healthy skepticism toward propa
ganda; that he would tend to de
mand higher standards In his news
papers aitd periodicals; that he
would recognize that these social
sides rather than two sides, and
that all solutions are partial or cost
a price, and that such problems a., I
may in the future engage his atten
tion will be approached with some
degree of realism.”
Among objects of the course ns
stated by the department of educa
tion are:
“To have pupils form the habit of
expressing positive and confident
opinions on questions only after a
critical examination of the avail
able evidence and after a careful
consideration of the various pos
sible solutions.
“To have pupils form attitudes.
Ideals and habits of thinking Unit
will cause them to be open-minded,
critical in their thinking, and
tolerant of the views of others.”

back upon this measure, having
reconsidered the first action at the

“While Governor Gardner would

Mayor Warn* Light j
Patrons Of Bills
In view of the fact that 137 city
watrt and light bills Tor last month
were still unpaid today, two days
after the limit set, Mayor W. N.
Dorsey in a statement urged Shel
by citizens to be a little more care
ful of the limit set by the city for
cutting off pat remits with unpaid
bills. Where possible city officials
or employees at the city hall notify
delinquent patrons in addition to
the sending out of the bills enrty
in the month with the statement
that patrons not paid by the lftth
will be cut off, but with 4.1200 wa
ter and light users it is impossible
to personally warn every one. The
result may be that 100 or more
houses will be cut off tonight, nec
essitating a 50-cent fee for both
departments to be put back on in
nddltlon to the inconvenience of
both patrons and the city.
Gaffney Folks Not
Guzziing Rum Now
As They Once Did
Gaffney.—Intoxication is going
out or style in Gaffney or else peo
ple are learning to get drunk more
politely. Magistrate Howan Gibson
has not had a whiskey case in his
court this month and Magistrate
Floyd Baker recalls only two such
cases being brought before film
Both magistrates usually average
half a dozen liquor trials per week
and sometimes on a Monday morn
ing after a big week-end In "Little
Texas" and the Panhandle there
are six or seven trials pertaining to
whiskey in a single day.
Magistrate Gibson thinks the
present condition is the result of
the work of rural officers. They
have captured ten stills during the
past two weeks but none have been
very large. However, they have been
taken in all parts of the county.

A Pigeon Hole Document
i Monroe Journal.)
People who expect to see results
Horn the commission which Mr
Hoover promised to appoint to ex
amine and report on prohlbiton
enforcement are not likely to get
much encouragement from the
general proposition which the new
president has said he has in mind
Mr. Hoover does not limit him
self to an inquiry into prohibition,
out proposes changes in the whole
nnchinery of Justice as administer
'd by the government. In the Job
vhich he has cut out. the eigh
eenth amendment becomes only
tn Incident. In fact the whole
ichemc is so far reaching that
nothing at all will come of it.
When the commission is apointed
it will take a long time to do its
ivork. When its work is done its
report will be pigeon-holed and
forgotten.
.Wc must do Mr. Hoover the jus
tice to say Unit lie sees what
should be done, but if he expects to
see It done lie is a man of simple
faith. "The purpose and scope,” he
says, "of the law enforcement as
stated in my Inaugural address Is
to critically consider the entire fed
eral machinery of justice, the re
distribution of its functions, the
simplification of its procedure, the
provision of additional special tri
bunals, the better selection of
juries, the more effective organi
zation of our agencies of investiga
tion and prosecution.
• It is intended to cover the en
tire question of law enforcement
and organisation of justice. It will
also naturally include certain of
the methods of enforcement of the
18th amendment and abuses which
have grown up together with the
enforcement of the laws In respect
to narcotics, to immigration, to
trade restraint, and every branch of
federal government law enforce
ment.
"The whole constitutes one prob
lem or better and more effective or
ganization In various directions
some of them affecting the civil
side ns well as the criminal side
have been recommended and ad
vocated for years by men of re
sponsibility from the chief Justice
of the United States down to the
local bar associations.
“The first step in law enforce
ment is adequate organization ol
our Judicial and enforcement sys
tem.”
So speaks Mr. Hoover the engin
eer. If he were nbotit to engage it
organizing a gold mine it would be
simple. But this Is not a gold mine
| proposition. "Here,” says Mr. Hoo
ver, "is what ought to be done.’
_
Very well and good. That It ought
to be done no student of such mat
ters will deny. But in the doing there
are many more to concult than there
ever could be in any business prop
osition. And these others will not
agree with Mr. Hoover's ideas of the
matter at all. Some of them will
even scoff at them.
The commission will go along and
do its work and make its report and
Mr. Hoover will get some bills fram
ed looking to the changes which are
needed. And every one of the more
than five hundred members of con
gress will see something that he or
some one behind him docs not want
done. And every man and every
agency of the country which has
some reason of its own for not
wanting any change will bring
pressure to bear, the most people
will know nothing about it and
care less, and the whole thing will
be forgotten.
Five-And-Ten Clerk
Pulled For Selling
Bottle Of Bay Rum
Winston-Salem, March 16.—A
case heard in the municipal court
here is expected to be tested in the
higher state courts.
W. F. Russ, convicted of being
drunk on bay rum, told the court
that he purchased it from a store.
Judge Watson ordered that the
person selling the bay rum be ar
rested and cited for trial on the
charge of violating the prohibition
law.
Investigation resulted in the serv
ing of the warrant on Miss Kate
Haymore, sales girl at the Wool
worth store. She was cited to ap
pear In court Monday morning,
bond being furnished by the mana
ger of the store.
Judge Watson has held a num
ber of times that it is against the
law to sell such concoctions to hab
itual drunkards, and has repeated
ly issued warning to merchants who
carry it in stock.
