ETERNAL VIGILANCE The Bill of Rights, which was added | ¢ to the American Constitution in order to make sure that the people retained cer- tain sights, provides that “Congress shall pass no law,” abridging specific rights of the peoplé of this country. The rights mentioned were not given . to the people as a result of the Constitu- tion..They were inherently possessed by the people of this country when the Con- stitution itself was written. Inasmuch as the document represented a grant of power from independent states to a fed- eral government, it was not considered neeessary at first to specifically Yecognize the rights of the people in and to certain freedoms. Thereafter, however, to avoid any mis- understanding, the Constitution was al- most immediately. amended to inclide’the Bill of Rights, recognizing the privilege of the individual, to lead his life as he sees fit, to worship jn accordance with his con- science,’ to enjoy. free speech, to be tried by jury’ and» other important ptirinh ies of freedom. The people should recognize the im- portance of their liberties and should be on the. alert, at all times, to prevent any infringement of them, either by legisla- tive enactment or judicia] determination. While there may seem to be no threat in this direction, one cannot forget that the Constitutjon likewise specifically reserved to thé States the powers not granted to the Federal Government. These have been gradually whittled away,“as much |. by judicial decision as by legiglative enact- ment. There is much truth in the old saying, “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” it it ‘The person who asks “Why?” is the person who finds out; Just as the person wha. seeks finds, A teacher suggests that. every Amer- ican child be required: to speak a foreign latiguage perfectly.

But let us agree that such a thing has happened in this country, where officia are foréver itehiig to get their salaries raiséd.

We have often wondered whether something could be done to make school more attractive te pupils. With the some- what softening of the eurriculum, we have about convinced ourselves that nothing is to be gained in this field. The develop- ment of social and athletic. interests has done much to make school more attrac- tive. The distaste where it exists may stem from the relative ease and varied: pleas- ures which pupils enjoy during vacation. In -brief, while recognizing that “all + work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” it is about time for us to understand also that too much play and too little work makes Jack a “lazy boy.” People who’ remark that, “It’s a matter of business; mean that you might as well look out for yourself and your possessions. “LEAD TO WAR” The people of the United Stateg will probably listen to General Courtney H. Hodges, who commanded our First Army in Eyrope, when he declares that “hin- drances to trade and commerce” lead to war. The General was speaking at the dedi- cation of a war memorial and in the memory ef those who died itt World War. Tl. He’ pointed out that to hinder world trade creates poverty and declared that the “people who are sick, hungry and poor demand of theié leaders a solution which all too frequently has been turned against them by a demand for unlimited power.” The idea that we must have a one- world economy, if we are to expect peace and good feeling on earth, is not new to General Hodges. It is refreshing, however, for a general of his distinetion to flatly come out for the removal of hindrances to trade and commerce as a method of ob- taining peace.
