It is not merely because it is the proper thing to do that The Herald emphasizes the far' that this week has been designated us a time for arousing a new, vital interest in edu- ‘eation in this city. It is because The Herald 1is vitally interested. Perhaps #education” is not the best word to use. Possibly some other expression that would show what so-called “edu- cation” means would be better, In this week the authorities are trying to show the importance of furnishing ‘people, especially children, with the tools they will have to use all through life. A man could not do a very good job at building a house if he ' did not have any hands with which to work. A clerk in a store would be almost useless if he had no voice. A brain worker would not make much of a success if he had no brains and {f they had not been exercised so that they would work. A man or woman has to use certain tools in life. Hands and head are quite necessary. Language is essen- tial to most people. This week is to be devoted to showing the importance of sharpening up the chief imple- ments which must be used in life. “How to do things,” or “What things mean,” or “How to think things out” are some of these necessary imple- ments. “Education” covers them all. The Herald has made a point of em- phasizing the value of the evening schools, and the Mayor, in his state- ment urging people to visit the schools this week, has emphasized the duty of all people’ to see to it that all recent arrivals in this country ai sent to the evening schools in order that they may learn American ideals, our language and customs. It 1s the duty of every citizen to encourage and .investigate New Brit- ain's workers who are engaged in furnishing people with the tools which they must have to meet life properly.. TREND OF PROSPERITY. “ Those who believe in applying proven laws to business should paste Roger Babson's letter, published Sat- urday, above their desks. He traces te path of economic depression, mentions the change of conditions, and shows how prosperity returns. According to his reasoning this coun- try has one step more to take before full prosperity returns. Babson divides the business world into four groups: (1) the raw ma- terial group, (2) transportation, (3) manufacturing, (4) distribution group, wholesalers and retailers. When de- pression comes it hits the manufac- turers first, partially because of finan- clal stringency. Depression then strikes the producerg of raw mate- rlals because the manufacturers cut their orders. It then strikes trans- portation, there being fewer products to be carried. TFinally it strikes the distributors, the wholesalers and more especially the retailers who have a stock of high-priced’ goods on their hands with the manufacturers fur- nishing none to take their places. Now comes prosperity, It begins when the manufacturers resume activity. This comes with easler money. Quickly the producers of raw materials benefit; then transpor- tation agencies which must carry those demanded raw materials, pros- per. The country has passed through these stages, but the last group to receive the full benefits of returning prosperity, the distributors, the mer- chants and wholesalers, has not yet fully recovered. Roger Babson says, “the best is yet to come," and he indicates that the bull move- ment in the stock market will not end until after all the four groups have participated in the general prosperity ‘Which is well on its normal way and Which cannot be headed off unless some unlooked for calamity strikes the country. This completion of the eycle will mean real activity for our merchants, They should not be dis- couraged because they sec manufac- turing, transportation and production of raw materials prospering while their business is but a little better than it has been for months. They, the merchants, are in the direct path of returning prosperity., If they are wiso they will prepare that they may be ready for hig business when it comes as it Is sure to do according to the proven laws of cconomies, Therefore, X PROTECTING WOMEN, It is reported that the first three women ever to represent Hennepin county in the Minneapolis legislature will work for child welfare and in behalf of working girls, Not only is this attitude the proper one for them to take, but it is the attitude male legislators in every state and in con- gress should take without delay, If some discovery were made through which it was believed that new wealth would come to the world, and this discovery were to be placed in hands unaccustomed to producing that sort of wealth, the first step that would be taken would be to guard those new producers from injury re- sulting from their new occupation, If some great change should come to the world, bringing into prominence any living specles, car would be taken, for the sake of the world, to see to it that the former usefulness of that species should not be de- stroyed in the new activity which had come to it Women and girls have come to take a new place in the world of eco- nomics. Their usefulness in the past, intellectually and spiritually as well as physiologically, has never been dis- puted. The world would lose terri- bly were that usefulness, that beauty, to be marred. But conditions have placed new burdens upon their shoul- ders, some of which, it is true, have been assumed voluntarily, It is the world's duty to see to it that these new burdens do not destroy the fine characteristics that have been theirs in the past, Their welfare must be guarded. They must be protected, even against their own wishes if necessary. To state the situation coldly a new machine has come into the economic world. It must be taken care of. The machine itself is new to its new world. It knows little of the dangers of labor, Sensitive to surroundings, more delicately adjusted than is the old machine which has heretofore done the work of the world, those familiar with that old machine must protect and guard it. Not only must women entering politics guard their sisters in their new work, but men also, aside from all question of su- perior physical strength and aside from chivalry—men also must see to it that girls and women entering this phase of the work of the world, as well as the children, must be pro- tected. WATCH THE CHILDREN. There is nothing especially alarm- ing about the health situation here at the moment—except for those suffer- ing from disease. There come a time re {€ach vear when housewives watch their plants, fearing frosts: There comes a time each year when diph- theria and scarlet fever break out. Some day people will have become so educated that they will be on the lookout at such times especially for the first symptoms of these often fatal diseases and will take the suf- ferer in time so that no serious re- sults will follow. It is with the hope of inspiring people to be on the lookout for these first symptoms that this comment is made. Medical science has advanced now so that patients may be saved if they are subjected to treatment when the symptoms first appear. If one life is saved by this warning, it will have been wonderfully worth while. The moment a child, especially, complains of sore throat a physician should be called. Children from one to ten years are especially susceptible to diphtheria. When a baby, unable to tell what is the matter, refuses food and shows difficulty in swallow- ing, for instance, the physician should be called at once. The life may be saved. The coming of a sore throat to an adult should likewise be inves- tigated promptly, especially at this time of the year. In the case of a child and early symptoms of scarlet fever, the victim is apt to make the general complaint of “not feeling well.” He or she may have vomiting spells on reaching home at night, Then fever and the rash develop, The first symptoms— the bad feelings and the vomiting should be the signal for attention, This is the time of year when the children should be watched for the first symptoms of these diseases. THE FILIBUSTER. There is nothing especially terrible in the fact that the Democratic fili- buster in the Senate has prevented the consideration of the Dyer anti- lynching bill. The probabilities are that it is unconstitutional anyway; the certainty is that it seeks to give IFederal control of a matter that the various states should be able to han- dle. The present matter of the fili- buster is not of importance when I'there is considered the greater ques- tion, namely, that the Senate of the United States is still bound by anti- quated rules which prevent its doing business in an . energetic, straight- | forward manner, more in accordance with the spirit of the times. People today want results. The people have been a long time in de- manding them, and many of the members of the present administra- tionl ieaders in the Senate, have begn the last to recognize that fact. Some do not see it yet. Senator Lodge's failure to display such recognition of the general demand almost lost him hig seat. “There are none so blind" and all the rest of it. The possibility \ of a filibuster should be done away with, TRules should obtain that will permit taking up and disposing of a matter when its disposition would be wise and would allow other business to be done, The worst of it is probably no change will come now. The leaders of the Republican party, having but a small majority, will not, allow any | defensive straw to get out of thelr drowning clutghes. Moreover the new liberal bloc sces possibilities in the filibuster that may help it. Quite possibly the whole complexion of the Senate will have to be changed before the Alibuster will be relegated to the discard, where it will be a cherlshed Institution of narrow who have preceded it there, Facts and Fancies (BY ROPERT QUILIEN), About the only hope for Europe is a second mortgage. Chorus of Allies: *The play's the thing; darni what happens to Greece,” Europe might get along with fewer reverses if she wasn't quite so per- verse, First act: National aspirations. Second act: Grand row. Third act: American relief, A republic is a place where every- body agrees that something ought to be done about it. Few things in life are more pathetic than a very young writer's éffort to be a wicked cynic Hearing it by radio is just as good, unless you enjoy watching the tenor twist his face that way. ‘We look forward to January 1 with misgivings. There are so few things left to swear off of. About all you can say for any po. litical upheaval is that it makes a new set of grouches. Never despair. If you are dull, stupid and dumb, you may get a repu- tation as a good listener. It appears that a burning 1gsuc in Europe is something that makes it hot for the little fellows. You can say one thing for Lunch No. 3 on a diner. It makes you glad you didn’t try No. 2 or No. 1.

Miss Lillian Wetmore, a junior at the High school, while passing the South church shortly after 5 o'clock last evening, was attacked by a young well dressed man who grabbed her hand and tried to wrench a ring off her finger. Miss Wetmore pulled her hand away and ‘he would-be thief made his escape. The maiden ice of the year formed on Cooke's pond yesterday and few of the skaters ventured to go out upon it.
