Uoeerd Piso Beka! EDUCATION PROGRAM IS HELD BENEFICIAL Economist Says Investment in/| Intelligence Is Best Made by Government By Earl E. Muntz PhD., Professor of Economics, New York University A year ago many reformers were millions of depression-rid-, den Americans with the discomfort- ing notions that our capacity to con- sume had reached its zenith, and that our real problem was one of creating a planned economy which ‘would enable us to keep production for the future down to the more or less arbitrary depression standards of consumption prevailing at the time. In many respects these or similar technocratic views were vaguely in- corporated in the New Deal. Yet, at the same time, a peculiar incon- sistency appeared in the efforts cf the federal government to etimulate education, primarily vocational edu- cation, which has for a direct result better and more efficient producers. ‘With the passage of time old-fash- joned common sense is coming on more to the forefront and is causing ‘us to unscramble planned and regi- mented economy which didn’t work. Thus the ‘nconsistency just noted disappears and makes it easier for us to appraise the economy of more education. Advantages Are Manifest Let us note briefly the advantages of a wide spread and relatively high level of education. 1. It leads to greater emotional stability in a peo- ple. An educated populace is more capable of weighing economic and political alternatives and is less likely to overturn existing social and econ- omic. structures in unreasoned panic and fear, or resentment. 2. It les- sens the hold of the demagogue and renders dictatorship a more remote Possibility. 3. It increases the in- ventiveness and the productivity of a people, and thereby makes possible greater consumption and higher standards of living. With the above facts in mind an inquiry into educational expansion during the depression is in order. “The federal government has continued its participation promoting indus- trial and agricultural education in accord wth the Smith-Hughes Act and the George-Reed Act. In addi- through the FP. BE. R. A. At the outset work relief was to be provided for unemployed teachers in their pro- fessions. That necessitated classes. Regularly employed teachers were providing for students of school age, so the F. E. R. A. proceeded to de- velop @ noncompetitive educational program. Thus funds were appro- priated for equipping and staffing nursery schools and kindergartens and for rural school extension. The adult has been aided by F. E. R. A. funds through additional vocational training facilities, vocational rehab- , Ultation and adult classes for illit- training erates. Vocational is de- signed to adjust persons for employ- ment in general trade and industrial occupations, in agriculture and com- merce. Rehabilitation is for unem- ployed adults who are physically handicapped or who need additional training in work opportunities. The current year has witnessed financial aid extended to 96,308 needy college students in 1465 colleges and univer- sities and involves a monthly expen- iture of nearly one and one half mil- lon dollars. 2,000,000 People Reached General adult education is another important step. In this category are to be found federal assistance for workers’ education developed by and sponsored by labor groups; summer schools for women workers; parent education; and broad educational pro- grams undertaken by local commit- tees with PERA assistance. In the latter group there is a multitude of subjects, ranging from the purely cul- tural to the most practical of unit courses for both men and women and older boys and girls. Indications are that the emergency educational program has reached this year some 2,000,000 people whose edu- cational req nts were in no way covered by the regular state or local educational systems. Expenditures are estimated to be at the rate of two million dollars per month, a small outlay compared with other recovery expenditures, may of which will have no lasting effect. The benefits of this supplementary education cannot . be measured iccurately in money terms. There is, however, little ques- tion as to the long range value of such education from the standpoint of social and economic well being. It is probably the government's best de- pression bargain. fe Olympic Skiers to Vie at Deviis Lake Devils Lake, N. D., Dec. 27.—(®)— The Lake Region Winter Sports club ‘Thursday was notified that they have been awarded the individual Olympic ski tryouts for the central United States, according to Ralph Graham, * secretary of the club. Arthur J. Barth of Milwaukee, sec- retary of the Central Ski association, notified Graham by telegram that the National Olympic Ski committee had accepted the Devils Lake club's bid. The meet will be held here January 13 at the club's slide located about six miles south of the city. The ski meet will climax the three- day Lake Region Winter Sports car- nival to be held here January 11, 12 and 13. i ‘There was a decline of more than 9 ‘per cent in the world production of motorcycles during 1933 as compared h the previous year.

True, there wer? the happy verities of a better quality of plays and more receipts at box offices than there have been in years. But, the most health- ful revelation of the stage was the success of young playwrights, young actors and young producers. Since the crash of 1939 many of the first line producers have died or gone of \have been lured to Hollywood where work supposedly is easier and more Temunerative than it is on Broadway ‘This year these vacancies have been filled, to a large extent, by sincere, able newcomers. It was indeed a year of good harvest for new playwrights. First Play Applauded For instance, Lillian Hellman won play, “The Children’s Hour,” one that | jas “the most intelligent and finest! writing” of the season. This drama, about the almost forbidden subject of {abnormal affection, by itself estab- lished Miss Hellman as one of the |most adroit and honest writers in the |footlight arena. Lawrence Riley, a new author from Bradford, Pa., defied the superstition that another satire on Hollywood would not succeed, with his ‘play, “Personal Appearance,” which was a sell-out from its first night.

VIEWS ON ROAD FIGHT Wilton, N. D. Editor, Tribune: In reply to the article in the Wil- ton News of Dec. 7 wherein I see that the city of Wilton intends to move, so as to be located on the new highway one mile south of Wil- ton, will say that that is the silliest idea I ever heard of as it will not better their condition one particle un- less they consider us as being the main support of Wilton (on the south side) but i¢ that is the case there is such a thing as boycotting tone if they continue this childish it. They already have two highways running through Wilton and I should think that they would be proud and satisfied to come within a mile of another one. ‘The Wilton News speaks of the in- Justice done to them if the road goes on as proposed but do they consider the injustice done to others who have just as legitimate business as they have. Most of those hated coal-mine own- ers southeast of Wilton are descend- ants of old pioneers. They have been born and raised in Burleigh county and they have never dictated to Mc- Lean county where and how to spend their road funds.

This federal highway has been de- layed long enough, but I presume it has been done in order that Wilton might sell more gas which we will not need on a good road as compared with plowing through mud and snow. I don't think that the railroad crossing hazards have been played up & bit too much, as stated in the News, but I do think that the fire and undermined idea on the south Toad is @ fable. I also see that the county commis- sioners are supposed to be under obli- gations to the mine operators, which claim I think they have yet to prove. We appreciate the stand that the fed- eral engineer and highway commis- sioner took in face of the indignant opposition from McLean county. ‘The Garrison Independent seems to know all about our need of roads in Burleigh county but they must re- member that proper authorities awill continue to look after that and I wish that the Garrison paper would keep their nose out of Burleigh county business. . b Wilton is a poor loser I must say.
