DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY DECEMBER 9, IW2

The People’s Voice Ev<r MliKe tiui beginning of Hine' i people have been trying to better their i iconditions. This Improvement, in u ■ uirge measure has been brought about Through education. I 1 or ti lung time education was a matter of choice; If the parent wished! hl;, child to be <*ijn< ated, he procured a teacher for him, or sent him to some private school. He sought a ' i iicol which he thought would give Tils child the best advantages and nci coniplfshments along particular lines. Ts for any reason the teacher or the i school did not in; i t the need of that Ii pupil the service was discontinued. It I was therefore necessary that the j teacher or school satisfy only the ’ I child or the parent. There was n time when the worth of a teacher was I measured by likes or dislikes. If the! teacher pleased the child, he was look-1 led upon as being a success. , i But, since the public school systems and compulsory attendance laws are I Jin force, the parent no longer has the I .right to decide whether his children i shall go to school, nor has he the pr VI : ilege of selecting tile teachers or even 'a particular school. It can easily be 'iseen that the attendance law has had , jti tremendous effect on education, in ■ that it gives the children a chance to I go to school. While under the old ’ | law, many children received only a meagre education and because of this '| their minds were narrow. They were inot able to accomplish the tilings, , | which they might have, had tin y had ■ sufficient education. II Tlie value of education is becoming I more and more apparent. The chil- , ‘dren of today, will bo the citizens of tomorrow. In their hands the reins ii of government will be held. It is our ’ I duty then, as parents, teachers, and , citizens of the U,. S. to see that , they are fitted for the task which will • be theirs. In order to promote education throughout this land of ours, it is necessary that we understand the needs of the children and provide for ’them. F'or only by such knowledge ' (an a safe, happy and thoroughly aa- . tisfactory life be expected. We must banish the old idea the the children are for the school, but rather believe that the purpose of the school is to better the conditions of tln> children. In order that the schools may progress and become a real aid and asset to the community, it is ab- ' solutely necessary that the parents 1 mid teachers cooperate in laying the foundation stones of education, namely: observation, intense interest, exploration and seeking to become educated, in tlie highest sense through learning. | Let us awaken to the purpose and needs of education and instill within the hearts and minds of Young America. those ideals of patriotism, good etitizenship, anil the joy of service, which help make up a useful and well educated life, TEACHER Postal Authorities To Boost Xmas Seal Sales Indianapolis, Dec. B.—Murray A. Auerbach, executive secretary of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association, today announced that the postal authorities of Washington have indefinitely gone on record as favoring cooperation with the Christmas Seal sale. Postmaster General Work, he said, has issued an order authorizing the establishment of seal booths in the I nostoffices. This cooperation, he said i constitutes a substantial boost for the anti-tuberculosis cause. The seal sale opens December 1. “We are asking all city and county | leaders in Indiana” said Mr. Auerbpeh, “To seek sales space in the ! postoffices. Hundreds of willing supporters of the anti-tuberculosis work will be able to obtain Christinas I seals for their Christmas mail as these booths, who might not otherwise have opportunity to obtain them. Indiana anti-tuberculosis workers are deeply grateful to the Postmaster-General for this cooper- ’ ation.” Woodrow Wilson May Recover Completely Washington, Dec. 8. — (Special to Daily Democrat) —Woodrow' Wilson who has made a game uphill fight for the last three years to regain his health may recover completely from the stroke of paralysis which came upon him as the result of arderous labors in his great battle for the league of nations. ■ This information was given the United I’ress today by one of the former president’s closest friends who has been a constant observer of his steady improving condition. Mr. Wilson never will recover the robust health he enjoyed during his I Presidential administration as his long (illness has greatly attacked his .strength at an age when vitality cannot be gained easily. But it is believed that the effect of tlie paralysis 'soon may disappear and he may again enjoy free use of his arms, legs and muscles. i

B.—There are in the United States 3.000,000 civilian employes of the federal, state, county and municipal governnients. Their annual salaries aggregate 13,000,000,600. Os this amount one quarter, approximately $700,000,000, is wasted annual ly. due to the operation of the spoils system of appointment and promotion in the civic service. These statements made by Richard H. Dana, Boston, president of the National Civic Service Reform League, in his speech before the forty-second annual convention of the League, prefaced an appeal to public officials every-where-to support the League's program for abolition of the spoils system and substitution of the merit system throughout the public service. Will Hays, former postmaster general, was quoted by party liability." He emphasized that point that any fla- i grant use of patronage had always in | the past lost votes for the party in power. “Let me ask the administration," Dana said, "whether there is any other issue it could now take up which would so appeal to the public at large and so rebound to its own credit in the history of the country." Two methods may be employed Dana asserted, it eleminate the present wastage of tax funds in the civil | service. The first is by turning effi-1 cicncy and employment experts inte the various departments of the public : service to weed out supremerary and infflcient employes, to standardize! work and modernize methods, and to ’ improve individual moral by putting promotion on a basis of merit instead , of political pull. Tlie second is by re quii iug officials in the higher grades, ( responsible, for the management of the lower grades, bo selected on account of fitness either through promotion based on merit, or through original ap ; pointment based on past education,! training, experience and the achievements of the appointee. "We as a country, have let matters drift too far,” Dana said. "We are not only wasting our patrimony, but are becoming fixed. If we are too indifferent if we are too absorbed in our private affairs, the time for reformation may be past, and the country become hardened to the spoils system as a necessary evil.” Montreal —Important gold strike is reported from the Mclntyre mine, Himmins, Ont. $_$_$„WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s
