Ingratitude is an unpardonable sin. We do not want our assets to be froz- en, yet we want cold cash—contrelled liquid frigidity. Desertions from forestry camps have reached less than 1 per cent. Under the prevailing popular ratio we assume the boys will be permitted to make it 3.2 per cent. Very likely the inscription on the corner-stone of the Fort-Myers new post- office building will NOT hear the name of William H. Woodin, present secretary of the treasury. Washington comment, which rises above the status of mere rumor, has it that Mr. Woodin, present secretary of the treas- ury, will accept the ambassadorship to Berlin, This disposition of him will be generally commended. It is a compliment to the integrity which the country believes Mr. Woodin possesses, but at the same time it removes him from an administrative po- sition which must now make war upon the ethicil‘ideas of yesterday which made Mr. Woodin's conduct seem proper enough at the time. ‘Yesterday, June 14, was Flag Day. The original Flag day was June 14, 1777, when the act establishing the flag of-the United States was passed by congress. June 14, 1851; at Hartford, Conn., was the _ first time Flag day was observed as such. June 14, 1877, the 100th anniversary of the or- iginal, act fo congress which established the United States flag, is spoken of as the first official recognition of Flag day. It has never been officially established by an act of congress or presidential proclama- tion-other than by the original act of con- gress passed on that day which established the flag itself. The admirable trait of the democrat- ic administration is the recognition of newepeper: mentor responsible —govern- ment positions. If there are deserving democrats certainly the editors of demo- cratic newspapers come under that classi- fication and at last are receiving recogni- tion that has been withheld from them for so long. President Roosevelt has nominated William E. Page as_ internal revenue collector for Georgia. Mr. Page is president of a corporation which pub- lishes newspapers in Georgia and North Carolina besides the Bradenton Herald, of | The word “silly.” | “blessed” or Bradenton, Florida. 50 | j what they call frills and unnecessary ex- | | | just } USEFUL EDUCATION Those who criticize the cost of educa- tion in this country almost always their charges against the money spent for direct | tras. No one anywhere raises against the cost of giving our young peo- ple sound training in fundamentals, but it seems easy for educators in many cases to get away from the essential and _ to waste at least part of their pupils’ time on unnecessary or profitless subjects. It is interesting consequently to hear from Madison, Wis., that a model house is under construction there, sponsored by the public schools home economics depart-! ment. criticism the living-dining room. Other students were held responsible for planning and purchasing the soe ot the kitchen and laundry. For these two rooms the expense Was limited to $200. As showing how sensibly the pupils did their buying, it is reported ! that a household washing machine was the | one large piece of electrical equipment al- lowed in the budget for the entire house. The students explained that this was chosen in preference to any other large equipment because they felt that the housewife could make her greatest savings in home operation by doing the washing in the house and with machinery. Practical training such as these Madi- son students are being given, and such as many individuals do not receive until they are pitched into the midst of household re- sponsibilities, is the kind of education that every thoughtful taxpayer will approve. A GREAT PUBLISHER DIES: Cyrus H. K. Curtis of Philadelphia, who started his business career at the age of 12 with three cents of capital as a street newsboy, and became one of the world’s | greatest publishers, died a few days ago at the age of 83. i Born in Portland, Me., in 1850, Mr. Curtis received only a common school ed- ucation. His first publishing venture was launched in Philadelphia at the age of 26, when he became publisher of a small peri- odical called the Tribune and Farmer. Later he established Ladies’ Home Jour- nal, and afterwards became head of the great Curtis Publishing Company, whose magazines include Saturday Evening Post, The Country Gentleman and Ladies’ Home Journal. He purchased the Philadelphia Pub- lic Ledger in 1913, and the New York Evening Post in 1923, and was the active head of all these important publications | until he was stricken with heart disease about a year before his death. He was widely known as a_ philan- thropist, although his benefactions were bestowed without ostentation. His only daughter became the wife of the late famed editor, Edward Bok, who was as- sociated with Mr. Curtis for many years. Few men who started to make their way with limited education and no capital ever have traveled farther than Cyrus Her- mann Kotzschmar Curtis. CLASSIFYING MOTORISTS Among the measures designed to re- duce automobile accidents, a new Connec- ticuat law will be watched with interest. It provides different insurance rates for var- ious classes of motorists. Those whose driving records indicate them to be especially competent and care- ful are granted a reduction from the reg- ular insurance rates; the next class pay the standard insurance fee; those found to have been involved in minor accidents and slight violations of traffic rules must pay a premium of 10 per cent; those who have had serious accidents are penalized 25 per cent, while those who are shown to | have been at fault in highly serious and flagrantly avoidable accidents must pay an addiional premium of 50 per cent for} their insurance. | The new law has not been in effect | long enough to enable one to judge of its | results, but it seems to be based upon sound principles and may prove to be of measurable benefit in reducing bile accidents. some automo- There are several English words | which have been in the past so often used | ironically that in due course of time their | original meaning has become reversed. for instance, once meant “happy.” The instructor and the students in| : one high school planned the furnishings of | ae ‘nal is slightly slipping.
