PERSONALITY MORE lMl’ORT‘ N’ THAN BUILDNG OR EQUIPMENT. If T were one of the 400,000 members of School Boards of the one-room rural schools in America, and we had to choose between putting our limited money into equipment or a teacher with personality, I would vote for personality. Prof. Walter Burr, educational expert of Kansas Agricultural College, offers this advice to rural school authorities in an article written for the Sep- tember issue of The Farm Journal. Rural schools particularly, Prof. Burr thinks, spend too large a proportion of their limited budgets on buildings and physical equipment, and are prone to hire, at the lowest salaries possibie, any teachers who can present certificates showing that they are technically qualified for the jobs. Technical qualifications are essential, but they do not make a teacher, Prof. Burr holds. A girl may have graduated from normal school with sat-yeet the major requirements until the debtor and |yigt the toy room again some day ijsfactory marks but may lack entirely the maturity of judgment and qualities of leadership and interest in her work which will make her a successful teacher. Prof. Burr quotes the report of the National Educational Association that the child’s attitude toward all the duties of his future life depends upon his like or dislike of his early studies, and that this in turn is conditioned almost entirely by his like or dislike of the teacher. A teacher who can inspire the grade school child and interest him in solving his simple prob- lems can build in him a will power for achieve- ment which will last through life. Such teachers are not easily found in rural communities, Prof. Burr admits. But still, he shows, the tiny Porter School, near Kirksville, Missouri, has become the model rural school of the country largely through the singlehanded efforts of the lone teacher, Mrs. Marie Harvey, a middle-aged woman with a real love of children and the facuity for inspiring them to their best efforts both at work and play. “I could bring forward numerous examples to show that there are often individuals of superior qualities who can be secured as teachers,” he adds. “It really seems to be up to the ingenuity and per- sistence of the school boards to secure such people. But above all qualities, buy personality. The teacher who has it will find ways of getting equipment and handling subject matter.” POWER CONSOLIDATIONS IN NEW YOR! The consolidation of New York water power re- sources under the control of Morgan interests has become a topic of general discussion. Senator Walsh of Montana declares that it is a hindrance to the development of the potential power of the St. Lawrence River and the St. Lawrence waterway. Gov. Roosevelt has taken strong ground against the development of the St. Lawrence hydro-electric power by private companies. He declares recent consolidation of power resources makes it imperative that the State of New York begin the development of the St. Lawrence power possibilities at once. He will urge next winter that the Legislature adopt the plan that it ignored last winter which would authorize the State to proceed with the project immediately. Gov. Roosevelt's plan, like the one urged by Gov. Smith, is for the State to develop the water power and lease it to private companies for dis- tribution. However, many of those who are opposed to public ownership oppose State development. They would have the power developed, owned and dis- tributed through private ownership and control. TEMPERANCE AND PROHIBITION ARE DIFFERENT. Some of the organizations that are seeking to stop the use of alcoholic liqguor as a beverage have transfered their intensive activities from Prohibi- tion enforcement to furtherance of an educational campaign for temperance and against the evils of intoxication. They are moving along sane and sensible lines. There is absolutely no connection between the case against the jise of alcoholic liquor and that in support of the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act. The Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act have converted more people to the support of legalized lMquor traffic than to opposing it. They have made more people drink than they have caused to stop drinking as a matter of principle. In short, temperance was making faster and surer headway before we got Prohibition than it has made under Prohibition. Concede, therefore, the soundness of the argu- ments in favor of sobriety, in favor of teetotalism if you please, and yet the case against the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act is so strong that one would think that intelligent and tolerant people them to quit’ it. This can be done through educa- tion and persuasion. It cannot be done by statutes passed by narrow majorities and enforced by clubs and guns in the hands of ruffians. Experience has proved this statement to be absolutely truthful The Associated Press said the people of |Gulf Coast in Florida, Alabama and Mississi] | were preparing to face a hurricane that was proaching. The hurricanes of that region hav been better raised than the Mississippi Valley cy- clones. They send work ahead when they decide upon a visit The cyclone just hops in without warning, and musses things up. ! “Scarface” Al. Capone was quoted in an alleged interview in the Philadelphia jail as saying that he and his gang leaders had spent $30,000,000 an nually bribing Chicago police and other officials He denies that he ever made such a statement or that it is true. We believe Al, in this instance. | Thirty milions of dollars is a lot of money for graft circles. Five Years of the Dawes Plan. (New York World.) With the end of August came the end of the fifth and last year of the Dawes plan. It is not too much to say that the economic progress achieved by Western Europe since 1924 has come largely as ly to recall the bickerings which led to the Ruhr invasion, the policy of passive resistance which de- pressed German industry and the slump of the mark to an infinitesimal fraction of to realize what this plan did for Germany. It res- cued the Reich from bankruptcy, made possible a stabilized currency, re-established the country's credit and paved the way for the great industrial revival of which the Bremen and the Graf Zeppelin are outward and visible symbols. ‘The benefits from the plan, of course, have not been confined to Germany. Her creditors have profited not only from the receipt of nearly two billion dollars in reparation payments, but even more so through the stability which the plan ha helped to bring to Europe. Nevertheless, more has been written in disparagement of the Dawes plan than in its praise. There were predictions at its adoption that it would never work, and when it ac- tually worked there were repeated prophecies of its approaching breakdown. Much of this criticism has been beside the point. The defects in the ar- |rangement were well known to the experts who | formulated it, but with an eye to the realities they sought to prepare a tentative scheme to which all the interested nations would agree and which would | creditors could obtain a clearer conception of a fair settlement. That the Dawes plan has achieved this broad | purpose none can deny. It has not only worked | but it has worked smoothly and almost noiselessly. | Every payment has been met punctually and in full, | and without disturbance to foreign exchange. It is | true that the wheels of the mechanism have been | freely lubricated with American loans, but this does not alter the fact that the plan has been a potent {factor in the pacification of Western Europe. And | |a large share of the credit for its smooth working must be ascribed to the Agent General for Repara- | in a difficult position have done much to bring about economic stability overseas. influence for peace and rehabilitation, its continu- ance for a longer period might have undone much of the good which it has accomplished. It was, after all, a stop-gap device, extremely useful for an emergency but also endowed with a capacity for mischief if adhered to for too long a period. In par- ticular, its provision for the increase of reparation payments after the fifth year by the application of a German prosperity index number carried the germ of future trouble. It is well, therefore, that the plan is to be superseded. Its adoption in 1924 may be regarded as really the first step toward the Young plan, which is now to take its place. Whether this plan will in turn give way some day to still another plan, no one can say. In the long span of sixty years for which the Young plan is to run, much can happen. At least we can say, however, that the Young plen starts off under favorable auspices and that it promises ,like its predecessor, to do much for the peace and stability of Europe. Baltimore at Two Hundred. (New York ‘1imes.) Baltimore is celebrating her two hundredth anniversary and two continents are deeply inter- ested and wish the old city well. In it lived the man who wrote “The Star-Spangled Banner.” At Baltimore the Calverts founded the civilization of the Catholic Cavaliers. In her streets moved the brooding Poe, and today the editor of The Ameri- can Mercury. A city of varied contributions and immense personal charm is Maryland's metropolis. It was among the earliest of American communities to raise, in Mount Vernon Place, a fitting memorial to Washington. It is close enough to the nation’s capital to hear the echoes of parliamentary debate, but far enough away to have an intense civie character of its own. Largely because of the influ- ence of Baltimore's viewpoint, Maryland has not availed itself of the power permitted to it in the Eighteenth Amendment to pass’ concurrent legisla- tion. Its aristocracy had progenitors in the Battle of North Point, and its southeastern section helped man the battery which fired the first shot in the World War. Now the “battle-queen of yore” is the industrial queen of the South Atlantic seaboard. In its com- memorative festivities the whole nation feels that it has a share.
