Education and Luxuries Shameful Shirkers When Our Public Schools Are Concerned E SPENT LESS THAN A BILLION DOLLARS in the last year, for which we have a record, for education. This takes in all the schools and colleges. But we spent for luxuries in 1920, the last year for which we have a record, nearly $23,000,000,000! About 23 times as much for luxuries as for educa- | tion! Six billion dollars more in this one year for luxuries than we have spent in the whole history of the United States for education! In 1920 we spent practically as much for face pow- der, cosmetics and perfumes as we laid out on all our educational activities. The fact is, we are shirkers when it comes to educa- tion. , We are shameful shirkers. We say that the schools cost us a lot of money, when we ought to be ashamed of the beggarly amount we spend. We ought to be ashamed to look our under- paid school teachers in the face. And yet, many of the teachers get more than they earn—if it is possible to earn less than they get and do anything at all. We do not give them the right sort of work todo. We |so treat them that they become the refuge of people who are satisfied to do a thing of which they cannot really be proud.

It is a disagreeable thing to write that last sentence, when one thinks of the many devoted teachers who do such fine work at such beggarly salaries; but in the main it is true. The schools should find work to do of an education- jal character, which would make teaching the great| profession for the able men and women of the land. Any one who knows the subject knows that there is plenty of such work for the schools to do. They should be enabled to do it. : The schools need men. They need able men. They need abler women than they get in any considerable number. Even tho we consumed less face powder, perfumes and cosmetics—and spoken of tobacco—we ought to make the profession one in which people would be proud to be enrolled. When this is done, the future of this nation will hold an infinitely brighter promise. We are now in a mild uproar over the proposed Reosevelt high school, in Seattle. The first attack on this high school was that the courses of study it is to offer are “too élaborate.” It was pointed out that provision had been made for six science rooms, an art and design room, and what-not! Terrible, isn’t it? Our boys and girls are to learn something useful—things that will help them in later life; practical things, to give them a better chance to earn a livelihood than mastering Latin and Greek, perhaps. The silliness of this criticism was apparent. One or two blats and the education knockers are now attack- ing on another front. They contend that the Roose- velt high school can be built for less than the esti- mated $1,250,000. If it can be built for less, and yet give the students | the educational facilities they need, The Star will never cease working for such a reduction. Let no one mistake our intention. Let us build the Roosevelt high school at the lowest cost possible, consistent with the very best in educa- tional facilities. Nothing more, and nothing less! What You Don’t Know FAMOUS SCOTCHMAN was Hugh Miller, who got his start in life as a stone mason and quarryman. He worked with his hands—also his brains. And because he used his brains, he saw the wonderful story that the rocks could tell. After many years of study, he put his observa- tions down on paper and became one of the world’s greatest geologists. Hugh Miller’s most famous book, “The Old Red Sand- stone,” has lived 80 years and has run thru many editions. He starts the book with some sound horse sense that may be of benefit to you: “My advice to young workingmen, desirous of bettering their cir cumstances and adding to the amount of their enjoyment, is very simple. Do not seek happiness in what is miknamed pleasure. Seek it, rather, in what is termed study. Keep your conscience clear, your curiosity fresh, and embrace every opportunity of cultivating your minds. “Learn to make right use of your eyes. The commonest things are worth looking at. Read good books, not forgetting the best of them, There is more true philosophy in the Bible than in every work of every skeptic that ever wrote, and we would all be miser- able creatures without it, And do not let any class get ahead of you in intelligence.” Hugh Miller’s advice is as clean cut as a diamond. It young Scotchman quilled it in Cromarty away back in 1840. When one gets the habit, there is the keenest pleasure in the pursuit of knowledge, more pleasure than in the power that might be exercised in its pos: on. Miller, the mason, knew this fact and he tried to communicate it to posterity. “The Old Red Sandstone” wouldn’t be a best seller in our generation, but it surely gets down to some bed-rock facts.
