Fducation, College or Otherwise, Is Beneficial What price education? scoffers ask as they point to brick layers, plumbers and other tradesmen who are paid high wages. This is a seasonable time to con- sider the subject with hundreds of boys and glirls graduating from | junior high school into senior high, 200 or more completing their course in senior high and a large class of girls receiving their certificates from state normal school in order to prepare coming generationa to their heads. Does education pay? It should, if payment in cold currency alone is considered. Statisticians tell us that it dees and buttress their state- menta with facts and figures sho ing that men and women with col- lege educations receive larger in- comes than those who do not. “Ah, h says the scoffer. “T know a college graduate who is driving a | truck.” Well, driving a truck is a useful and honorable occupation, But of the thousands who receive diplomas few engage in that voca- tion. The majority are found in the professions or in business fields and regardless of the stories that are told of men who have become prominent in the commercial life of the nation without the benctits of | use graduated today from a husiness college is better equipped to carry on in the marts of trade than the old timer who atarted with a rusty nail and new owns a fleet of stecl has college graduate who has concen- tical alde of business by rubbing cl- bows until they have callouses on them with others who are experi- enced In the rgutine of his particu- lar field. But better salary is the lcast of the benefits to be gained from edu- cation. The man who can read a finc work of literature and enjoy it, the man who can appreciate a canvas painted by a master, the man who can feel at home in company where topica are discussed by intellectual people has something which money cannot buy. Pleasures such as these are reached through mental expan- sion which is derived from lcarning | how to enjoy them. It is true that “book learning” without common sensc is of little value in the struggle for daily | bread. But “book learning” disel- plines the mind, makes the 1@ cells more aceutely receptive to what is going on around wus and teaches a truer appreciation of life. Fducation can be acquired with- ont going to college. The gate s open to those who wish to make thejp lives brighter, happier and fuller. In spite of its financial re- wards, professional boxing is not considered an elevating pastime. The average professional fighter is a moron in affairs which do not pertain to the ring. But even a develop his mind. Gene Tunney is hegvyweight bhox- ing champfon of the world by right of might. His knowledge of Shakes- peare and other geniuses of the literary world did not put more power into his blows no rteach him how to duck an opponent's punch. But Gene Tunney geta more enjoy- ment out of life because he has edu- cated himself. He can discuss thinga other than skipping the rope, shad- ow boxing, etc. He is not a college man byt he has applied his brain to the better things of this world and has set a shining example of what a person without a college education As Judge Saxe remarked n “Don’t open your mouth!

(Copyright. 1928, Reproduetion Forbidden) —THE OBSERVER— Makes Random Observations On the City and Its People vesterday when addressing a claas of graduates, education is denied no one if he has the determination to acquire it. It's in the libraries, in the best magazines, in the night schools—it's everywhere begging to be taken. Several times within the past two weeks, the police court judges have listened to storics by defendants, told under oath, vet being in direct contradiction to the testimony of po- licemen. Naturally, this condition prompts the suspicion that the truth is being dealt with very lightly, in fact, the prosccuting attorney in at least one of the cases did not hesi- tate to make the accusation that perjury had been committed. 1t is perfectly obvious that two persons tellilg stories that are di- rectly in contradiction cannot be telling the truth, and the wonder is that no punishment is meted out to those who think under oath than they do of privately misstating a circumstance of no im- portance to anyone. Some of the explanations made by certain classes of defendants in criminal cases have all the earmarks of having been very carefully prepared, but experi- enced court attaches are seldom de- ceived, The only saving grace of the sit- vation, if indeed there can he one, is the absence of malice in the of- fense. As a rule, when a principal or witness in police court strays from the truth in deliberate manner, the purpose is to shield self or a friend. When the statement is made that a certain person was not at a pluce stated by a patrolman at a given time, the effect Is generally to the disadvantage of the person in- tended to be benefited, especially when the policeman is positive and bears the reputation of being trust- worthy and capable of making ac- curate identification. The situation. while not alarming, perhaps, is certainly not wholesome from the standpoint of law and or- der, and it would be interesting to note what effect would result from a demonst ed determination on ‘the part of the court officials to ccase 1o tolerate lying. Voters Want Democrats 1o Fill Existing Vacancies. While democratic members of the cominon council squahble, the sixth ward is deprived of complete repre- sentation In the council and the city at large is deprived of at least onc voice in the hoard of education. The council vacaney exists because of the resignation of Thomas B. Fay The vacancy in the school commit- lce is due to the resignation of James J. Butler. Party representatives in the coun- cil, who nominate candidates for the vacancies, have been aware for weeks that it would be necessary to fill the two positions. Scveral cau- cuscs have been called but &n- nouncement has been made the same night that meetings could held because of the absence of one of the members or because a vol- cano in Alaska is in eruption or just hecause.

An accident of this naturc is a harrowing experience. In spite of precautionary measures, children are run down mostly due to their own carelessness. In the final analysis parents are to blame. The present generation lives under conditions unknown a quarter of a century ago. Strects which once traveled by slow moving horses are now occupied With swift, powerful motor vehicles which can- not be controlicd as casily as were equines. Children must be educated to the danger of playing in the streets or runming out from the sidewalk. That is a job for moth- ers and fathers, If the youngsters persist in exposing themselves to danger they should have a lesson impressively applied. And the best application is the oldest—a spank- ing. In that respect, at least. the race has not changed. Spanking, repeated if necessary, has always been the best corrective.

I leaves the scat so suddenly that I | gocs through the space where the | windshield would be if they was one on the flivver and lands in the wagon with the top of my dome scattering loaves of bread like a wind scat- ters papers in a park. 1 was lucky 1 didn't land on jelly rolls or some- thing. My bean also poked out the top of my new straw kelly that was a bargain at $1.95 and scratches both cars as the brim is pulled down over them. Struggling to my pins in a daze T |grabs a shelf to steady mysclf but {the next thing I knows the shelf | gives away greeting me with a showe er of crucilers, doughnuts, pie ; as I falls out backwards landing on the box of peperment chocolates which T was bringing to you in my back pocket. The chocolates was smashed flatter than both sides of a stove lid so I throws them awas as I remembers you telling me more { than once you s anvthing mushy. {Anyways T scrambles up like & |scared rabbit and tries to hold the | frightened nag that is standing on | his hind Iegs pawing the air with | his front ones likes he wanted to g [ somewheres he didn't mean maybe. Holding him wasn't any vasicr |than teaching a rocking chair to | fold its arms and I has as much chance of guieting him as he had | of winning first prize at a dog show. This nag, not so dumb, suddenly | realizes he's got two healthy rear hoofs and uses them, and how. The way he kicked over the traces | would bring a cheer from the world's I most hen-pecked married man. His | hind hoofs went up like an cleva rea 'tor and came down like its no- |body's business. A wicked left |crashes through the front of the wagon making a hole that vyou of splinters, followed by @ couple of rights that smashes the wiile-tree or | whatever you calls that thing that |helps to keep the wagon from be- {ing left far behind. With a wild snort and two more jabs he frecs himself and is off like a fire-cracker, including the shafts |and o bag of rolls that got caught harness. One of the lines got d about my ankles drageing me along the gutter for a 10 yard loss releasing me only when a full |grown ashcan that was purked too Ynear the curb gets in my wa 1 (collects some bruises and most of !the ashes, The galloping sparkplug fcontinues traveling as though he's | being paged by a squad of hornets tand I'm telling no 1ales outa night school when 1 say that if he was 4pulling a sulky he would of smash- ed all records, not to mention everything that got in his way. | The driver comes out, gives what 6"‘ left of his outfit the oncc-over. and then hands me a “bawling out” | that would make the kind you some- times hand me seem like sweet nothings, saying that if hrains was |leather 1 wouldn't have enough to make a watch fob and what 1 knows about driving could be placed in a flivver hub cap and they'd still be plenty of parking space for my license. You'd be surpriscd how much the damages set me back, Mar. W if we cver goes joy rid- ing in the future it h be in a trolley car or a jitney bus ANDY DAL LINDY FORCED DOWN Lands Near Pittstown.
