J O, give thanks to thè Lord; for He is good; for His fnercy endureth forever. —Psalms 136:1. Education Week PEN a school and dose a prison,” said Victor ’ Htigo years ago. By proclamation of President Harding American Education week is now being observed throughout thè pountry and that short, signiflcant sentence of thè great French writer might well receive thè thoughtful attention of all Americana. The profound truth and thè high ideal which are as vital to thè world today as when they were written. But Victor Hugo touched only one phrase of thè need of education. He might have said that illiteracy and intelligent patriotism do not go hand in hand. He fcould not have foreseen thè world’s tremendous intrease in industrialism and migration of workers which has actually made education a matter of lise and fleath. In New York State alone there are 800,000 factory workers who can not speak English. Marian K. Clark, òf thè New York State Industriai Commlssion, estimate that one-half of thè accidents in factories, with a resultant loss of sso,o<fo per day to industry, are due to ignorance of thè language. Statlstics of thè United States Bureau of Labor show that thè rate of accidents in thè iron and Steel industry during a period of eight years was highest àmong thè non-English speaking workers and showed little decrease from year to year. • J In thè larger mining States of which Indiana is one It is estimated that non-English speaking foreigners sufTer doublé thè number of casualties that thè English speaking miners do. Through thè report recently made by thè State educational survev commission, thè people of Indiana bave a number of definite proposals laid before them for improvement of thè public school svstem. Betterment of our school System wlll depend much upon thè Interest taken in school problems by thè Indiana fathers and mothers. If American Education week serves to direct attgntion more strongly to thè educational needs and remedles it will have served a most useful purpose.

„ , Sweethearts and Wives got on thè train together—a meek little "also X ran’’ wife and her grufi, pink-cheeked giant of a know-it-all husband. He didn't help her up thè steps. To his credit, it must be admitted that he was carrving their heavy sultcase—though mavbe due to his absent-mindedness or thè presence of a quart inside. He lifted thè suitease to put it on thè Steel luggage rack OTerhead. And he grunted that he knew what he ■was doing, when she suggested a fear that thè heavy 'suitease might bi°ak down thè rack. She started to insist, but he snapped, cutting her off. So they settled in their day-coach seats. The little woman uncomfortably kept glancing up at thè rack and ncconsciously fingering her should er as if preparing it for a L'ow. ’ Again .he ventured, “£>ear, Fm afraid —” ! “Mind your own business, it’ll hold,” he growled. ! Bang! The words were no sooner out of his mouth, than down carne thè suitease. It struck squarely on his head, crushing his new derby hat. ’ . The rest of thè journey was pleasant for thè other passengers. ' It was easy for one of thè onlookers to picture that pair in their courting days. She must bave been a sweet little soul, dainty, gracelul, gentle. Hard work had gnaried and twisted her .hands. Worry had wrinkled and blanched her face. But her fonner glory stili peeped timidiy and sadly from her eyes. | As a wooing lover, we could picture him —tali, strong, assertive, thè kind that appeals to so many sweet, shrinklng women. Of course, he had been one of thè cads who mask their rea! nature, their inner viciousness, until they have won their brides. i Time was unmasking him, bringing out his reai nature, just as it does with all of us. Not understanding thè law of thè Attraction of Opposites, his wife probably -is bewildered at thè change. Maybe she occaslonally wonders if things might not have turned out jbetter if siie had married thè other man. v It is so easy to become thoughtless, aster thè first ;few months or years of married lise. With thè glamour gone and thè romance dulled, thoughtlessness easily beeomes neglect. And thè neglect too frequentlv grows Into an inIdifference and lack of so that thè hus"band without realizing it says things to his wife and

Picking Each Other ’s Pockets

BY HERBERT QUICK Òur present discredited Congress is greasing thè frying pan for public buildings pork. The reader who has lived in a little villane knows of thè importance of villages, politlcal'y. And thereby hangs this tale! I know a village whlch was promised by its Congressman a new postoltice building. That whetted thè appetites of thè locai people for pork. Every man with a cheap lot saw himself selling it. Every workman and contractor plctured himself working on it. Several people figured it oùt that when it was built there would be jobs as janitors, caretakers and thè like. It made a lot of village rrouths water. When election carnè they supported this man who had excited these hopes. But thè public building bill was delayed for years—only now getting ready to put . one through. It dangles a savory mess of porte before thè eyes of every village pf l.Qf'C or more inhabitants in thè]

commits discourtesies that he would not dream of trying In thè presence of another woman. IndifTerent liusbands and careless wives are trampling their roses. The secret of reai wedded bliss is in a Constant renewal of courting days. Marriage is a failure thè day we become plain husband or wife inétead of sweethearts. It’s thè Same Oid Bull SEEMINGLY as penitent and as obeisant as a new convert who suddenly “got religion,” two of thè “Big Five” packers appear in Washington, praying thè government to sanction their desires to combine into one cdncern. Their prayer, shorn of legai phrases, runs something like this: “Once we may have been steeped in sin. We may have wickedly crushed small fry competitors by unfair methods. We may have fixed thè market for meat. We may -uave underpaid thè cattle ì aiser, and overcharged thè public. But now we know that is folly. Let us combine and we will be awfully, awfully good to thè public hereafter.” Well —we’ve thought about this prayer of tha packers for some time, and, while enjoy seeing them at thè mercy seat, we don't believe in magic. It strikes us lpie thè case of thè bad, ferocious bull suddenly becoming so meek and docile that he wouldn’t hurt anyone or anything. Maybe he wouldn’t, but we would rather have him on thè other side of a good strong fence. Those Federai laws agalnst “trusts,” which thè packers ask thè Government to set aside that they may combine into “good trusts,’’ have been pretty good fences for thè protection of thè public. They may not be perfect fences, but they are thè best we have at present. As. for thè bull in thè packer case—to use a figure of speech again—it may seem gentle and docile to thè packers, butto us it looks like thè same old bull.

Permit Usto Say There seems to be a great deal of weather this winter. Brince of Wales has broken another precedent. We thought all those things were broken long ago. \ One of thè saddest sights of modern timps is seeing a man hugging a girl because he want her vote. It would be great if we knew wno was sending us Christma cards. China’s boy emperor married a girl he had never seen. A little more rouge and we will be doing thè same. Conference of cotton growers lo be held in Memphis, Tenn., has started some talk ambng thè boli weevils. Our opinion of thè man in Fultott, Mo„ who has worn a pair of pants twenty-five years is stands up too much. Clemenceau says hell is brewing. A neighbor tells us brewing is hell. . A rfian is a person who had rather go to his lodge and ride thè goat than stay at home and be thè goat. TOM SIMS.

There ls no conflict between thè Secretary of Agriculture and thè Department of Justice in thè packer pian, lt is understood.

ARGHITECTS TO START 01 NEW SCHOOL PUS * Commisstoners Approve Recommendations of Building and Grounds Committee. Another step toward thè carrying out of a building program for thè Indianapolis public schools was taken today. The board of school eommissioners instructed Walter J. Twlname, business director, to enter into con* traets with archi teets selected for new buildings and additions at eight schools. The action was in accordance with recommendations decided upon by thè board, acting as a committee on buildings and grounds last Friday. A hard fighi to have a new Shortndge High School on thè site at Thtr-ty-Fourth and Pennsylvania Sts. included in thè program was made by Charles L. Barry, president of tha board, but thè other members of thè board d/d not support him. President Barry also entered objections to thè program on thè ground that tifa selection of architects and engineers was objectionable, and that assembly rooms should not be included until thè financial situation was improved. In addi tion to thè new school buildings thè program, as approved, also provided for thè installation of a new heating system at School No. 36, Capiol Ave., and St., and a new shop building for thè building and grounds department. Schools included in thè program were: No. 58 f Winter and Bloyd Aves., eight rooms; Xo. 30, College Ave. and Twenty-First St., ten rooms; No. 76, College Ave. and Thirtleth St., sixteen room No. 70.
