That there are some.who ~are' op- 7 pesed to the idea of appropriating gov- erfiment funds for the purpose of a ship sybsidy is not strange. There was a time when many more were opposed to It, but that time Ikewise carried differ- ent conditions. Then there was nat the restrictive legislation surrounding . ship- ping that existr today and_ then this country was not In possess'un of a great merchant marine which to a large ex- tant Is swinzly idly at anchor ecause it s unable to compete wiih the ship- ping of other countries. It is necessary to deal with the mat- ter in the light of present day, .condi- tions. Legislation could of eourse he changed or wo cowda dismese of our' ships at another great sacrifi But those" things haven't been dome and it Soesn't appear that thera !s any senti- ment that promises mueh refief in’that firection. ‘We were for a long t'me loudly call- Ing for a merchant martne We got it under conditions which were not what wight have been ordered had there| deen any alternative, but we have a. val-} sable merchant marine and the questton ww confromts us of ke:nkag .t busy. It 15 to be rem:mher.d that we are sndeavoring to kesv our flag on the bigh seas In commercial lines in com: petition with shipping in other coLutries which are favored with a subsidy. Like- wize while our ships are idle we 'are al. 10 paying & constde;atla sum for the purposa of keeping them in shape and guardipg them. It fs a casa where) many of them gre constaniy adding wo their expense hecause of the cost of maintenance when they are not produc- ing any retugn on the investment. This is' of course to be paid by the government| and we are mot getting anything for it. The situation s along the same line as that where untll theéy were disposed of for a gong the woodén ships belonging lo the government wers probadly cost- ng more for their maintenance than they were worth. v Thus in proposing 2 subsidy the idea % to bring the merchant ships into uvse ind competition with nthers_instead of pending large sums for maintain‘ng them mactive. /It seems reasonable 3 provide the money neczessary to keep ‘hem busy than spending it for no re- urn at all. COUNTRY SCHOOLS; Efforts made in bebalf of better rural ichoojs .are by no wWeans new, It is a problem that is - constantly - before a lagge part of the eountry. 'n-’n is just 1s great need for the Hroper’ education of the children of the country as of the city, even though the protlem is of = Hfiftsrent nature because of ‘the . number Involved.

That fear-may exist but it seems to be far fetched, /Indications for the mlst part appear to be to the cemtrary. Ihe demand for an education for the'r children is not. decreasing in the coun- iry begause many of the farms are now mbabited by many who have comg frowm Eyrope. They not only demand an edu- tation for their ehildren but they want the best and are not satisfied ' that it shepld stop, with the grammar school. Nevertheless the rural school problem Is gne of importgnce. It should not be teglected, even though it Dbecomes necr 584ry, because of the small number of shildren in some distrigts to provide the means of transporting” them to otheps, Which {s being quite generally followed The aim in the country must be-for bet- ler schools just as emphatically as in thy citjes. .

' MOVIE CENSORSHIF, What is going to be the résult of the referendum in Massachusetts concerns ing state censorship of motion pictures? This question as referred to the people drew out -a big vote but disapproval of the idea was registéred by a large ma- Jority. Does this mean that the peopls of tha neighboring state are satisfied with the pictures which have been and ars being presented. to them, that they mee no need” of ' protecting the vouth through censorship or tbat they bave been Im- pressed by the attitude which' the pros ducers have taken and are confiden that the best results in the way of clean and wholesome pictures can best be assured, in that manner? One thing is apparent, neop’> knew what they were. Voting about and there ‘is no reason to suppose but what théy did, they do not approve of the plan ‘that had been de- cided upon for state censorship. They have had an opportunity to see what| the producers recpsnize @s necessary in order to clean up the \business. Cer- tain conditions made it evident that drastic action wad necessary and there have bee nsteps taken which show that proper response was made to_it. ‘ If the course followed has made a good impression uppn the people of the state to the north, and possihly oth: states, it should Gy misinterpretalon by he producers. Hav- ing -selected a course that wus -cem to be necessary such a vote as that in} Massachusetts is to be regarded as an endorsement thereof, if it has any bear- ing upon it at all, rather than a decla- ration to the pictyre business that no restraint whatever {s favored when 't} comes to the matter of motion pictures. If the vote means ghat -the producers have manoeuvred from 2 bad to a gool position in the eyes of the public it can- not disregard the duty in maintaining themselves jn those good graces. It would be a mistake to regard the ex. pression as other than'a reliance on the producers to provide the better pic- tures, - _ et b CHILPREN'S BOUE WEEK.
