The Statue of Liberty, on Bedloe Is- land in the harbor of New York, with the torch of freedom held triumphantly aloft, a symbol of light and liberty, commem- morated her 50th year of existence last Wednesday, October 28. May her face never grow red! Art McBride points out in the La Habra Star that an Oklahoma girl adver- tised for a husband and landed him. The ad cost $3.00, the wedding $6.00, a total cost of $9.00. The husband lived less than a year, then left her a life insurance policy of $11,000.

That means Key West will have a! bigger season than she ever had; and once the road to the mainland is completed, this island city will be a mecca for the tourist. Key West and Monroe County will vote November 3 on a_ constitutional amendment merging the two overlapping political units. Most obvious example in the state of the need for this kind of thing. | All but 300 of Monroe county’s population live within the city limits of Key West. For instance there are 7 sets of courts in the county, where three would do the} business. A similar vote ; While desirable can, in Duval-Jack- The people of this country have been liberal in their attitude toward taxation intended to support the public school sys- tem. They have been convinced for years that money expended for education re- turns attractive dividends in later years. This long-cortinued faith on the part of taxpayers, however, can be lost if the schools fail to deliver the goods. { Such a conclusion may shock those citizens who are inclined to worship educa- tion as an end in _ itself. Intelligence, under some circum- stances, be a curse to the individual. It should be the function of our schools not only to make students more intelligent but also to make certain the reasonable suc- ; cess of the person educated. With this in mind, many of the schools of the country have inclined their courses of study toward practical development of the talents of the student. While there is room for the classics in our schoo] system, they no longer dominate the educational field as in years past. In their place are courses plainly designed to assist boys and girls toward an economic success in sub- sequent life. The literary education of the in- dividual is not to be denied but,- just as important, it should not be re: arded as a necessity. ofepcevery - chools and colleges should not bend pupils to ex- acting standards, but, on the other hand, should more properly unbend to promote the development of the individual pupil to assist him or her to become a coordinating unit of society in all phases of human life. This does not necessarily mean the scrapping of tested principles of educa- tion, although it implies efforts in direc- tions not comprehended along classical or literary lines. Nor does it always follow that the school with the broadest curri- culum is the institution meeting the new trends in education. Back of physical plants and technical arrangements, the successful training of students depends upon personnel to a degree that goes much farther than mere technical preparation to teach. MYSTERIOUS GOLD There are not many Americans who |s understand the importance of gold in pro- moting world trade and the writer does not pretend to be among the few experts who do. Nevertheless, it is interesting to learn that the gold stocks of the United States passed the eleven billion dollar mark a few days ago and that this coun- try has more gold on hand than ever be- fore in its history. One of the mysteries of the ganlow | metal arises from the fact that other na- tions have shipped huge supplies of gold into the United States since this country revalued its currency. Meanwhile, an ef- fort is being made to facilitate interna- tional trade by an agreement for the inter- change of gold between this country, Eng- land and France under control of the gov- ernments. While England 2 have not set a fixed vai of their own curt Treasury maintais : American dollars an oum will be a de fact, i cies and internati edly improve. The governments involved do not be- lieve that the internal economics of any — will be injured by that and the agreement will be valuable in regard to in- ternational trade. If there is any threat to the domestic economics of the nations in- Bae distriets, portions of | volved, the arrangement, which is on a day-to-day basis, will be altered diately. KEY WEST WATERWAY (Paul Mallon in Miami Daily News) The same arguments which compelled the ap- proval of the Key West overseas highway, shortly are to be advanced as sufficient reasons for the extension of the intra-coastal canal to that port. Destruction of the rail line to the island city by last year’s storm, provided the clinching ments for the big PWA loan, and now it is being proposed by Senator Hill, that certain classes of freight may be routed more economically through a barge canal. The present canal terminates at sonville failed because the plan of merger | Bahia Honda, and the junior senator plans to ask submitted was politically rather than con- structively devised.

Notice the words —“in the long run.” Most of us must live “in the short run” but the world is moving | rapidly and it does not take long for the wonders of today to become com- monplace. No one can be entirely sure how important any new discovery or in- vention will prove to be. Only experi- ence will tell us. But we may at any time notice some of them which hold out hopes that may encourage us.

Only here and there do we find one who seems to understand the changes that are go- ing on and to be able even to state clearly the questions that must be an- swered. ‘hor, care of this newspaper) Temperatures* Highedb .
