Progress in Education One of the great objectives of the Masonic lodge, as also is true of many other fraternal organizations, is the assurance of ample educational opportunities to every American child. This fact is amply emphasized in the slogan of the Scottish Rite News Bureau, fraternal publication which continuously lays stress on the need for mass education. That slogan is: “The cause of human progress is our cause, the enfranchisement human thought our supreme wish, the freedom of human con- science our mission and the guarantee of equal rights to all peoples everywhere the end of our contention.” In the light of this declaration and the interest which this organization takes in public education it is interesting to note its estimate of the educational situation as it exists in America today. Here it is: “Increase is shown in teachers’ salaries in both rural and urban communities and also in expenditures for operation and maintenance of school plants. “Kindergartens, schools and classes for handicapped chil- idren, night schools, art, music, home economics, physical edu- cation, which were curtailed or eliminated in many school sys- tems during early years of the depression, are being gradually restored, “Decrease in enrollments in the lower grades of the ele- mentary schools continues, due to the falling birth rate, while high school enrollments have been increasing. ““The number of pupils who returned to high schools for t-graduate courses and the number enrolling in junior col- leges were greatly increased. “The content of report cards is being amplified in many school systems to enlist fuller parent co-operation for home guidance and as an aid in attaining newer educational goals. “Use of tests in the classroom and guidance of pupils is becoming better defined and understood. ; “Educators and parents are recognizing the value of :pre- school training, as well as adult education.” That, certainly, is encouraging. It emphasizes as few other things could do the aims and objectives of the American people, their willingness to bear ills themselves that their chil- dren may have a fair chance, their insistence that the future of the country cannot well be separated from the welfare of the average individual. 4 It means change, to be sure, for the rise of the average of intelligence is bound to force many’ revisions in our habits| by of thought and our ways of doing things. But that brings no foncern to attyone who, along with this great fraternal group, makes common cause with\the march of human progress. Mr. Public’s Interest Much as it disturbs business and finance, the current labor. difficulties are one sure sign of recovery. Things are defi- nitely on the up-grade else labor would not be attempting to force the advantage it feels it has acquired by reason of indi- rect support from the government and a sympathetic attitude on the part of the nation’s officialdom. Everyone, the average employer as well as the average employe, believes in good wages and working conditions. High Wages are a part of the Ameriean credo and it now is generally accepted that they benefit everyone. by putting money into circulation in the right way. ie The difficulty, however, lies in keeping the various factors ‘in our economic life in proper adjustment. Advances toward higher standards are welcome everywhere, but from the stand- point of the national welfare it is undesirable that any one group push forward too rapidly, lest it get out of line with others and throw unfair burdens upon them. That is one reason why, for example, the current effort to’ shorten the standard day for railroad workers to six hours deserves thought, not only by railroad workers but by every- one—particularly by farmers. Railroad men already are well paid. If they achieve their ends they will receive a boost of 881 per cent, since the pay would be the same for six hours as for eight. Achievement of that standard ‘certainly is desirable and the railroad men should not be censured for proposing it. The question, however, is whether the nation can afford it. Studies show that granting of these requests would cost the railroads $630,000,000,a year. They, in turn, would have to raise their rates to get the money—and the public would have to foot the bill. That brings to the fore the paramount interest in any labor difficulty. At first blush the employer and employe} would seem to be the major parties at issue, but this is not the ‘fact. The MAN MOST INTERESTED IS MR. JOHN Q. PUB- sd BECAUSE IT IS HE WHO FOOTS THE BILL IN THE D. at Every time wages are raised the employer must: either meet the increased cost by added efficiency or else take it out of Mr. Public’s hide. Usually it is the latter. That is why he _ cannot afford to remain unconcerned, why it is in his interest to keep the advance moving -forward uniformly and not in spurts which give marked favor to one part of our industrial population. : Many other considerations enter into labor arguments, of course, but that is the main one—and labor should note that it usually controls in the end, for in this country Mr, Public is a very powerful person. In future Europe, it may be unwise to tell a father that his dust like him, as the tot may have yada on its gas mask, / though the picturesqueness of his flow of language is somewhat ham- pered by the presence of Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, the vice presi- dent often roars long and loud at the cabinet table when he is convinced of & proposal’s impracticality. The vice president usually ad- dresses the president as “Cap,” “Boss,” “Chief,” or “Old Top.” “When I address him as “Mr. Presi- dent,” Garner once told an old friend, “he sits up and: takes notice. Because then he owe I’m mad. * * Spring Inaugural Urged Serious consideration is being given to proposals that hereafter inaugura- tions of presidents be held in the spring when there is likelihood of good weather. No one wants to go of through another such day as the re- cent inauguration day, with its un- speakably vile weather, No Funny Stuff Goes Hopeful reassurance from Ma- jority Leader Sam Rayburn in the House: Congressman Michener of Michi- gan: “The gentleman means, I presume, that es long as he can get what he wants by unanimous consent, regardless of how ridicue lous it may be, he will not ask fora Gag rule.” Congressman Rayburn: “It is not the purpose of the majority of the House to put through ridiculous at this session.” ‘The idea would be to have the pres!- dent take tha oath of office on Jan. 20 at simple ‘indoor ceremonies end postpone the inaugural parade and other big doings until April or May, when the cherry blossoms are out and everybody can have fun and romp round in presumably balmy weather instead of getting. soaked or That is the way the British do it when they get e new king. The mon- arch takes the throne over at once, but coronation ceremonies are delayed for months, pending good weather. Washington business men incline to like the idea, because most of them would profit more from large crowds and pleasant weather, to say nothing of the fact that they wouldn’t be s0 likely to have to dig. down and pay off such a deficit as was piled up this year. Many folks stayed away on account of the weather and those who’ came showed no great enthusiasm for the expensive open air seats in the specially built inaugural stands, * oe 8 Huge Auditorium Proposed But whether or not the inaugura- tion date is changed, the recent ex- perience has made it much more likely that the $3,000,000 appropriated congress for a Thomas Jefferson memorial will be used by congress for a huge federal auditorium, where such ® performance as the inaugural cere- mony might be staged. Roosevelt is believed to favor this idea, first advanced by Secretary Ickes. ‘Although Roosevelt. gaily declared he could “take it” and did, exposing dent Jack Garner has given his pub- lic promise to keep silent on public questions for the next four years, so anyone who wasn’t breathing easy besides from statements. of all kinds, guards and private sessions with groups of.
