PRACTICAL EDUCATION A thoughtful contribution to the dis- cussion regarding what is desirable in the way of presert-day education was made by Dr. John J. Tigert, president of the University of Florida, who declared that the true purpose of education is to fit the citizen to serve as well as to live. He draws attention to two schools of eurrent thought, one of which would stress cultvral education, while the other would plate chief emphasis. upen -voca- tional traiging.

While not minimizing the value of cultural studies and their absolute neces- sity for those who would enter the learned professions, Dr. Tigert points out that “one can not live by culture alone; this is | especially true of the great mass of our “dividual in preparation for his life’s citizens who must engage in pursuits which involve the use of their hands.” Practical education should be planned in accordance with the needs of the in- work. | At present too much time is given to pre- | | whieh only | school pupi | tunity to tak eae oF says one customer in three ‘has halitosis, And how about barbers? paring for college entrance examinations i percentage o: will ever have the pp ie needs of thot must quit s or high school courses should have more consideration. t i THE KEY WEST CITIZEN z BRITISH POST OFFICE JACK OF ALL TRADES (By Associated Press) LONDON, Jan. 20. — Selling stamps and-handling mail are on- ly two of the things the postoffice does in the United Kingdom.

This is not impossible. It can be achieved by inflation without raising the standard of living at all and even in the face of a decreased standard of living. It can also be accomplished by increased production. Granting that the national income can be brought up to the 100 billion mark does not mean that the income of average of Americans will be raised. Such a result depends largely upon distribution. It may be that a small percentage of our popula- tion will secure the bulk of the increased income, even as a comparatively smail | group now secures incomes disproportion- ate to that of other social units. The individual in Key West, who .is interested in income should also remember that what he receives depends more upon what he himself attempts than upon what he persuades the government to under- take. No government .can permanently guarantee any standard of living to its people. That is something that the in- i dividual must accomplish for himself. Of course, most people realize that | | there are some economic injustices that ought to be remedied and that corrective action will help the average citizen. But, after all, the help that such measures will afford can only be a very small part of thé needed income.

Twen- ty-six states now have such laws. Of those states requiring such delays, Delaware has the shortest, 24 hours, and Wisconsin the longest, 10 days. Two states require a wait of two days; eight states and the District of Columbia, three days; 14 states, five days.
