It is a neces- sity in the nation and of great value to the individual. It may not bring any greater financial success, but it brings | Class) EDITORIAL REVIEW | Comments reproduced in_ this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune, They are presented here ir order that our readers may have both sides of important issuca which are belng discussed in the press of the day, | CHILD WELFARE IN NORTH DAKOTA The first really comprehensive and definite effort to deal adequate- ly with the problem of child wel- | fare in North Dakota is represent- ed by the work of the North Da- kota Children’s Code commission ; which hag just been laid before the ople of the state in the form of n exhaustive report cf a survey made during the last year and a proposed code of laws vering all | phases of child welfare conditions. | The. work of the commission and | the conditions its investigations | have uncovered are beginning to | command the serious attention of | the’ public generally, and the code | of 28 bills the coming legislature | will be asked to enact into law will | undoubtedly be one of the import- | ant features of the work of the] houses that will assemble in Bis- | marck in January. | The program proposes a state bu- | reau of child welfare tp have gen-, cral charge cf administering the | code, enforcing the welfare laws | and regulating institutions in the | state dealing with children, Coun- | ty welfare boards, a revised and ; enlarged juvenile court ystem with county judges as juvenile commis- | an’ appreciation of, the better things of life, an ability to meet unexpected situations and a broader comprehension of the complex problems of the day. Not all, however, have approved the extension of educa-} tional facilities to their present state, nor do they view with | satisfaction the expansion that the future will bring. Men/| who through possession of extraordinary native ability have! climbed into High places have often decried the need of| education. But they do not see that education is for the| improvement of the talents ‘which the individual may possess, and it cannot confer the gift of genius upon anyone.’ The| same individual, may, however, have achieved far greater success had he had the advantage of development of his | faculties by a thorough education. When education has been made so easily available in America it would seem to many that it is unnecessary to declare an “education week” as we have “fire prevention” or “safety first” weeks proclaimed. But the steadily in- creasing complexity cf our national life has emphasized the need of training the leaders of the future and of enabling the rank and file to meet the hard competition of the pres- ent day. It ought not to be necessary to broadcast the value of:education with band wagon methods. Perhaps it would be of value also if leaders in the educational world, parents and: those seeking education ‘would pause and consider of: the day. People have always been generous in the cause of education but now are pausing to. consider the tremend- ous expense. The cost of education has steadily increased until in some states the cost is more than half the taxable revenue of the state. A broadened and changing system is ‘necessary to meet the steadily changing problems the edu- cated have to face, yet educators may well consider kindly criticism voiced by many educators themselves that too much time is spent upon superficial ‘subjects and not enough or the fundamentals of education. j “Tiliteracy among native-born Americans ought not to exist. The campaign to end illiteracy is the natural com- plement of a broad plan of Americanization. Notable efforts have been made by self-sacrificing men and women in remov-!| ing this blot from the nation. The statistics are glaring. | Oniy the continued and sober determination that illiteracy must be wiped out will bring success. American Education Weeek ought not to pass with the little thought so often given to specially proclaimed days} or;weeks. An eclucated citizenship is the best asset of any | community, and of the nation. ! ESS ee ee | OUR ATTRACTIVE STORES Bismarck stores now are assuming the air of the busy Christmas season. Veritable fairy lands are to be found in! the:toy rooms, the largest and best displays of all sorts of. goods are available. | To urge again that we “Shop Early” and “Mail Early”: is-no idle suggestion, , .., | The stores are most attractive now. | All of the salespeople are at their best, before the grind ing Christmas rush has started. It is easy. and comfortable—and good business—to shop The Christmas spirit of the shopper should begin with’ his shopping. The shopper can make not only the recipient of::his gift happy,’ but he can make the salespeople in: our stores and the workers in our pvostoffice happy by lifting some of the big Christmas burden NOW. \ ——— i} SMOKERS | Eleanor Healy, of Marylebtne, England, “was seldom | seen without a cigaret in her mouth when indoors.” The; other night she was found dead, a half-smoked “fag” in her, fingers. | Dr. Greenwood, called in, said her heart—weakened by , ni¢otine—had not been equal to the strain of pumping blood to.digest a heavy dinner. , i The doctor urges women to smoke pipes instead of! cigarets. Many already do, especially in England. If our: flappers take Doc’s advice, we trust they’ll not turn to corncobs. ot | ADAM . Adam, the first man, was born Oct. 28, claims John P. Brady neglects to tell where he got his he has erected a yonument to the father of the human race. If Adam could come back to life he wé6uld find 1,700,000,- That would surprise the old gentleman, but not as much as the fact that no two of these descendants are exactly alike—in looks, mentality or personality. ses JAILED The famous criminologist, Sir.

A constitutional amendment is to be submitted to the legislature setting out the fundamentals of the new plan. If passed by the legislature it will then be submitted to the people at he next state-wide election. A ‘ouple of companion laws will also be submitted to the legislature pro- viding for a slight increase of the tax on automobiles, and providing that such tax will be used to sup- port ef the work of the new com-/ mision. It is planned to provide for a gradual repayment of money | expended by counties on standard- ized roads. It will also provide for a trunk highway system, patterned somewhat on plans adopted in oth- er states. ' It is safe to gay that ninety per | cent of the /taxpayers are in favor of an efficient good roads program. The ever increasing use of trucks and automobiles in hauling require the proper kind of ‘roads. The} roadbuilding system in North Da- kota has never been satisfactory. When the time comes to adopt aj plan, there will no doubt be diver- gence of opinion on the details of However, the tax- payers will be mainly interested in | the adoption of a plan that will get ‘results without the unnecessary |overhead charge that has been ex- | perienced in the past. The Federal | government provide a considerable | jamount each year for roadbuilding, | ;and the state laws will have to:con- form to the requirements cf the| Federal laws.—Emmons County Record. | | sincere are amine \ | KILLDEER LEADS | The Dickinson Press states that the robins are beginning to build nests in the trees of the Queen Ci of the Prairie brother.
