Some think the price rises will be relatively gradual. Others gloomily forecast a catastrophic in- flation, ending in a crash. Details notwithstanding, practically everyone seems d that price boosts are set ry and unavoidable, “and. that all the talk about _“holding the price in liné” in the face of the most ex- treme wage increases in his- tory is just empty talk de- signed for naive ears.

All of, us, in a hasty moment, say things at times that we re- edges 1 dreary for that man who does not change his mind. As the saying goes, he who does not change his mind shortly has nothing left to ehange. And then there is that saying about the man’ who does not make a mis- take and reaches that stage where he is incapable of making anything. : All of which may or may not have anything to do with Dave King’s resigning as city manager and Clar- ence Sweeting’s resigning as city commissioner. The fact that they said they would rosie if thus and so hap- is beside the point. he only point to consider is in the light of after events. No man is required to “stick to his word” if the sticking hurts: himself or his ‘com- munity. 7 Tt would -be no reflection Dogged determination is as often censurable as it is ad- rable. Huh! Our ire is aroused, dwe blare angrily that we won’t do this or will do that. But when the cooling ; hat tendencies | moments of. reason come to us we feel that, after all, we should have been more circumspect instead of hav- ing been taken off our feet by our feelings. We should try to bear in mind that féelings actuate us sudden- ly but that reason evolves thought that weighs a ques- tion from. both sides, for there can not.be ‘a question that has not two sides. And we should: not maintain that our side alone is right. “Sticking” is no more ap- plicable to King and, Sweet- ing than it has been to many of us when we changed our mind. That is their right, if they wish to exervise it, in the same way that has béen our right to change our mind, and if they caused by influences en-| change theirs, it will] be no tirely beyond his control.

So far as we know, the educators of thé nation have not yet agreed upon the ele- ments of an education, but there is every reason for people, interested in public schools to give some thought to the various educational philosophies that are nut in- to practice upon the chil- dren who attend school. We are somewhat inclin- ed to the. belfef that Dr. Bagley was on the right road when he suggested that expansion of the educational | program “has not been par- alleled by a significant de- ous crimes.” Another favor- ite theme of this educator that major causes of crime were involved in so-called modern methods and the elimination of firm mascu- line jurisdiction in the school and the home. crease in the ratios of seri-| CHANGING ONE’S MIND |= “He said it and he’s going |! and . that}! 18: n jli: is that man who acknowl-| from his “Phe Weather Bureau, in an-ad- visory issued at 9:30 o’clock this tance south of Cat Island ih the Bahamas.
