PAGE FOUK SOCIETY Preyer) P.-T. Association Holds Interesting Session Yesterday} ischools in Key West is excellent, The regular business meeting of ; the Division Street School P.-T. A. was held Tuesday afternoon in the sehoo! aud'torium. The meeting was opened by the vresident, Mrs. Clande Albury. The P.-T. A. Song was followed by he Lord’s Prayer. Dr. Rice of the local elinie gave | an instructive talk on the activi- ies of the Health Department in <ey West. He said that residents iere had a full-time Health Depart-j nent, one of six in Florida, with; twe officers and two nurses. Their main activity, the speak-; er stated, so far had been “Child Health” and they had examined over four hundred school dren. Now, they are planning an Im-, munization Campaign against dip- theria and smallpox. a high death rate of tuberculosis in the city, a test would he of-| fered to determine if the children were positive carriers of the germ; if so, advice would be given for special care of the child. Dr. Rice! they | that campaign and as emphasized the fact could not put on this successfu'ly if the parent: teachers did not cooperate, there was an among the people of so-called “needles”. Slips of paper would be sent home for pafents to sign if they were willing, to‘ have their , children take the tests, The Fourth Grades an Armistice Day Song fittingly entitled, “Peace Ever-more.” The business part of the meet-; ing began with the reading and approval of the minutes of the previous meeting. The treasur- er’s report was given. The October entertainment committee turned in the P.-T. A.’s share of the proceeds from the Ha'lowe’en party, which was held in the park last month. Mrs. Godfrey Thompson report- ed that the Lunch Project Com- mittee had been most successful in receiving generous donations toward the lunch room equipment. Mrs. Harry Sawyer, chairman of Room Mothers, turned in the Division Street School P.-T. A.’s share of the proceeds from the Hallowe’en Concert given by the Hospitality Band at Park. This money will be used to help equip the Lench Project. chil-} As there is! unwaranted fear; presented ' Bayview | Miss Eulalie Matthews gave a report on the amount received from the pledge cards for the |Luneh Project. “Mrs. Claude Albury gave her re- port of the Sixteenth Annual Con- vention of P.-T. A. held in Jack- jsonville on October 7-8. It was most interesting and enlightening. At the Friendship Dinner given at the Windsor Hotel, each guest was requested to rise, give their name, name of city and school which they represented. ; Mrs. Albury stated that when her turn came, she was very proud to say that she represented the Division Street Grammar School, Key West, Fla., the most south- tern city of the United States. These words were greeted by a storm of applause, for everyone there was vitally interested in the Island City. The year 1937 will be the Four- tieth Anniversary of Founder’s Day. Each organization is re- quested to plant a tree sometime during the year and dedicate it to Founder’s Day of the P.-T. A. Mrs. Albury displayed the awards won by the organization at the convention. They were, one for membership and one for the Na- tional P.-T. A. Magazine. One of the most important changes of the state by-laws voted by the convention was the chang- ' jing of the annual convention to a biennial one with regional con- ferences in alternate years, An annoucement was made that the November entertainment com- jmittee would sponsor a_ carnival at Bayview Park on the night of {November 18. Many games have | been planned and a good time is } promised to all who attend. ; The treasurer reported that she jhad received a gold seal for the jcharter for 1936-37 j ship. jpleced in a2 cabinet near the {P.-T.

By GUS W. DYER Professor of Economics and Sociology, Vanderbilt University The administration enters upon its second term facing a serious unem- ployment problem. Temporary un- employment is naturally the effect of a depression. But in every one of the ten depressions in this country, after a period of readjust- ment of busi- ness, the nor- mal demand for goods and services re- turned, under a natural law. and the prob- lem of unem- ployment van- ished. This is the first time that we have emerged from i a depression ,with serious unemploy- ment. We have practically as many unemployed today as we had in 1932. 1 More people are looking to the gov- ernment for support than there were in the third year of the depression. ‘The theory that unemployment to- day is due to a failure of the manu- facturing industries to restore nor- mal employment is based on igno- rance and is without foundation. In_ 1930, 48,829,820 workers were gainfuly employed. In agrictlture there were 10,471,998, farm owners, tenants, farm hands and family work- ers. In manufacturing industries there were 10,176,000 wage earners and salaried workers. In mechanical industries, transportation, public ser- vice, professional service. domestic and personal service and clerical oc- cupation there were 20,895,011. The total number employed in farming was greater than all those employed in manufacturing industries while all wage earners in manufacturing wes | only about one-third more than farm tenants, farm hands and family workers. Employment in the .nanufacturing industries today is not far short of employment in these industries in 3929. In 1929 the number of wage earners and salaried employees em- ployed in the manufacturing indus- tries was 10,176,000. In March. 1936, | 8,966,000 were employed in the man- ufacturing industries. This is only 1,210,000 short of employment in the industries at their peak: dt fae ia A Hence it is stupid in_the extreme to hold the mon the EE ic industries responsible for the that 11,000,000 workers are ployed today. As a matter of f: = larger per cent of gainful wor! are employed in the :nanufacturing industries today than in 1929. in 1929, 20.8% of the workers were employed in factories. Today 22% of the work- ; ers are employed in factories. In all other depressions it was easy for the rural sections to absorb: much | of the unemployment of the towns and cities. Almost any worker could | at least make a living in the country. But the policy of the administration in radically reducing farm produc- tion closed the doors of the rural sec- tions to the unemployed in the towns | and cities, and threw out of employ- | ment a large proportion of the 6,849.~ | 663 farm hands and tenants. It was natural for these to crowd into the towns and cities and apply for relief. The radical reduction of farm pro- duction, of necessity trought uneme- : ployment on a large seale in trans- | portation, and in the handling of | products all the way from producer to consumer. The insistance on short hours atid an advanced wage scale under the N.R.A forced employers Cae S| the “slow” and the inefficient, work. ers, and retain only those who. ‘could earn the higher wage in the weprier | hours. This unnatural ition | forced on business, it is bel one of the chief causes of the unnat- i ural employment problem. It is a / gross injustice to any man to force him on charity because he is not able to earn an arbitrarily fixed wage. The , right of a man to work, to sell his services at the natural market price without any sort of interference is one of the inalienable rights of an / American citizen. In normal times a very large num- ber of workers are employed in pro- jecting large seale production for the | future. The political uncertainty with reference to fundamentaf business security is such today that activities of this nature have beem arrested. Do these facts not pofttt, therefore, to the conclusion that our serious, abnormal! problem of unemployment iis the result of government policies?
