Consolidation of County and City Governments, What is the use of having escape proof prisons, so long as the parole board functions! : At the recent Congress of American Writers the various departments gave Gone With the Wind just one vote, though 1,350,000 copies of the book have been printed. Didn't the book have intrinsic ‘value or is its enormous sale all due to ad- vertising. Democratic Govetnog: Earle of Pein: sylvania, when: he-deelared!s | ssa vies term for ‘President’ RodseGélt, -disposedof all aspirants tp the presidency’ by stating that there isn't}a’ Demoetay’ wha stands “knee-high, mentally ~ or °° morally, to Roosevelt. While not so intended, of course, it sounds like Republican propa- ganda, and comforting to the minority party. The Basques should have cast their lot with the so-called “Rebels” under Gen- eral Francisco Franco, Their deputies in the Cortes always opposed the anti-Chris- | tian aims of the majority, and they also know that the terrain held by their con- querors is the only part of Spain where churches are open for worship and not de- famed by being used as club houses for | Anarchists and Communists. | Most of us who have given sasaial to politics have sensed that President} Roosevelt has in mind to succeed himself! in 1940, though he has recently denied the | accusation, which is good politics. Gov- ernor Earle of Pennsylvania has come out / openly for a third time for Roosevelt, “un- quatifiedly and finally.” As was to be/| expected John J. Lewis has also declared for the third term, since he has no better | ally than the President. Republicans see} in the aspirations of President Roosevelt for a third term their only hope of victory, | yet concede that it would be a dangerous} precedent. and they believe that it is worth the money ‘about the way to secure better discipline, DEMOCRACY IN OUR SCHOOLS The people of Key West take a just pride in their schools. They willingly pay taxes to support their educational system expended. Files We are quite sure that . our citizens | have the right idea. If our schools do their | work well the American systems of gov-" ernment will succeed and-democt: ey, ‘as? it understood here, will prosper, aiid’ go will’ Educators, however, are beginning to complain, just a bit, over whatthey term “petty dictatorship”, meaning the inter-' ference that sometimes comes from perienced and untrained persons holding office over and superior to the teaching force. The educators do not assert that they have exclusive right to dominate the policies of the school system but they maintain that the function belongs to not less than three groups, including parents, teachers and children. The inclusion of the children is a sign of progress, marking quite an advance from the old autocracy in school affairs. .,Itis encouraging because the pupils, who, #.to school, might possibly know something increased morale and the barriers in the way of learning what they are supposed to get out of their courses. We are much interested in the recent statement of Paul J. Misner, superin- tendent of schools in Glencoe, IIl., who said that his faculty had called in a committee of ten youngsters to represent a grade in planning a mathematics course for the ninth grade. What does this school ex- ecutive report? “We were astonished to find that the | opinions of the pupils were the most valid. They understood better. than the teachers that mathematics was truly functional. The teachers found it difficult to look at the subject-matter fairly because they were so steeped in the traditional course of study.” So, it seems to us, that any school sys: tem will profit by a freely expressed opinion on the part of leading pupils. The boys-and girls who have the studying to do, who have the task of acquiring infor- mation, ought to know something of their problems and probably have some ideas as to how their difficulties can be lightened. Administrative officials, school teach- ers.and official boards should always wel- come honest criticism and _ well-intended suggestions, regardless of their _source.! There is a great opportunity for the use of) democratic processes in the school system) of every community. 4 STRANGE (MEDICINE Probably no science has been evolved from a greater mass of early superstition than that of medicine. Still, it is said that | some of the oldtime prescriptions may pos- sibly have had a certain curative value al- though appearing ridiculous at first! glance. i \ A recent writer declares that. the | broth of red ants: was once used for, “fit | testinal disorders, and that moderi "te search finds that the formic acid in ants‘is | a strong antiseptic, which may have killed intestinal germs. Some believe that the sting of bees and wasps relieve rheumatism. These in- sects also secrete formic acid, the injection of which through the “stinger” may pos- sibly have a beneficial effect. i Baked toad, ground to powder, was } used by the Greeks as a remedy for heart | disease. Chemists find that there are cer- | tain alkaloids in the skin of a toad which act as a heart stimulant. Some other old alleged remedies have not yet been satisfactorily explained, how- | ever. Among the innumerable ones may be mentioned tying a pickled herring to) each leg for dropsy; eating a-dried and) powdered magpie for-epilepsy: tarrying a buckeye in the pocket or sleeping with al black cat for rheumatism;. varieus | in-} cantatious for the removal of warts and 80 On. : Considering the mystery which for- | merly surrounded most diseases, it is not ; } | surprising that equally mysterious reme- dies have been suggested and applied.
