The vote drive checked the growing apathy of the people in national elections and put national interest on an upward curve, brought out a total vote of 30,093,232 as against 26,646,273 in 1920, an increase of 3.446.950, or nearly tevest of about 53 per cent of the whole electorate as com- pred to an interest of but 49 per cent in 1920. It is gratifying to note that a large increase in the total vote was registered and that the election was participated in by slightly more than half the people entitled to vote. It is disappointing, however, to record that in the face of the tremendous non-partisan campaign to get out a full vote, the President of the United States still is chosen by a small ininority of the entire electorate, in a country where ma- jority rule is a cornerstone. President Coolidge actually was elected by probably a third of all the people who have the ballot. The Non-partisan campaign to get out the vote was based upon patriotic and logical appeal. Perhaps other methods will have to be employed. One humorous magazine suggested that Broadway beauties be employed to dance in every vot- ng place to attract all tired business men; another that bargain sales be held in the polling places. Perhaps the most effective way would be for President Coolidge to an- neunce he would employ the present European fashion of Aictatorship end tell the people they couldn’t vote. Every- bedy would tight their way to the polls, then. OME The National Ass CONSIDER YOUR COUNTRY American Education Week, being observed throughovt the country, gives the opportunity for citizens of all classes to join in a consideration of patriotic and educational prob- Jems. During the recent political campaign much was heard o” ©: Constitution, and few are familiar with it. During American Education Week the preamble is to be recited in thousands of schools and before many audiences of citizens It is worth knowing. The preamble of the Constitution of the United States, epitomizing the fundamental ‘principles of the nation, follows: “We, the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the com- mon defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Today is known as “Patriotism Day” and on this day allegiance to the flag and proper observance will be empha- sized. The pledge of allegiance is as follows: “T pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, One nation. indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” All should pause this week to give a thought to their country and to education. OLD STU How quickly we become accustomed to a marvelous in- vention and consider it commonplace. The radio, only a few years old as far as widespread popular use is concerned, al- | ready is losing its glamor. Visitors yawn politely when you offer to tune in. Then years ago, any of us would have walk- ed miles to hear one. So with the airplane. In th rger cities the hum of an overhead motor rarely is sufficiently attractive to induce more than a baker’s dozen to watch until the plane is out i of sight. A casual glance. A shrug.

Electricity will take the place of the coal furnace. This is a certainty, though many of us will not live to see it. We are rapidly moving into an Electric Age. Electricity, con- trolled by a fingertip applied to a button, will be man’s slave. Power will come from falling water and from coal burned at the mines to generate “juice,” incidentally saving long coal hauls. LK ‘ Yankee ingenuity improves everything it encounters. For thousands of years—ever since invented by the wife of a Chinese emperor—the oriental silkworm industry has con- tinued almost unchanged. Americans are installing cold storage plants in China, where silkworm eggs will be kept at.a scientific temperature and incubated at any season of ., the vear desired. That’s improving on nature, which philosophers say can’t be done. RADIO Radio’s first big sales field was among boys. Now the Jead demand is from city grownups who sat back and waited until the crude experimentai stage was passed. Radio’s first major market will be among farmers. Uncle Sam’s Department of Agriculture recently estimated there are 370,000 radio sets in use on farms. That will have to be multiplied by at least 20 before the farm radio market becomes saturated. And the farm, by reason of its isolation, is where radio is needed most. Fortunately, however. mother isn’t sophisticated enough ivdovunderstand themaughty. part of the books daughter buys.

A BETTER BALLOT { (Grand Forks Herald) i One of the objections to the; general election ballot. used in orth Dakota is that the sheet is inconveniently large. Usually it is not possible to provide the voter a| rge table on which to spread out his ballot while he mar The | little shelf that is usually the best that can be supplied, will not ac- commogate more than a small fraction of the ballot at one time, and when in addition to the onc big ballot there are several sm cr ones, the task of keeping trac of them is no small one. In th respect the Minnesota ballot” is much better than ours. It is a sheet 9% by 11 inches—about the size of an ordinary letter sheet. On this appear the names of the presidential candidates with- their electors, and of all state and con- gressional candidates. Because of its more convenient size alone it ought to be possible to mark it in about one-fourth of the time re- quired to mark our blanket ballot. The Minnesota bailot is also an improvement over ours in that it has no party columns. It is not | non-party ballot.

Do you resemble ‘them in disposition or in character? Most people believe | that such similarities are inherited. But they are not as much inherited as they are acquired by association, is the ; claim of a medical specialist. \ His idea is that a person’s character is determined by the people who take care of him in the first five years of life. Young children are like monkeys. They imitate. For in- stance, quite often when a mother slaps a baby, the baby slaps back. This isn’t resentment, nor is it temper. It is natural imitativeness. On a broader scale, this is how par- . ents’ traits are passed on to children. The basis of character is emotion rather than intellect, according to the generally accepted scientific idea. And a young child is quick to mimic the emotional outbursts of father or mother. This is why parents should never quarrel or display any : harsh emotions in front of their children. Sometimes the child’s reaction is the other way. A boy, reared in a sullen and evil-tempered environment, may shrink to the background like a turtle into its shell, and become quiet, brooding, sad, with a “sweet disposition.” But usually the child’s emotions reflect the parents’. You know how a boy aspires to be like his dad. The mother who babies a lad and keeps him secluded at home js apt to ruin his chances of becoming successful. Her coddling prevents the \development of aggressiveness, so necessary for success, and acquired normally by rough-and- tumble contact with other boys. The coddled child usually develops an “inferiority complex”—a timidity and shrinking, a dread of exploration and venturing. | Nature, quite plainly, intended children—especially boys | —to break away from home with self-confidence and ability \ to support themselves by the time they reach maturity. Every child has an inborn desire for power.. You see it when the baby shakes its rattle and turns to see if his display Ri : é << of strength has been observed. This sense of power becomes = dwarfted if the child is babied. column.
