NEVADA CITY NUGGET MONDAY, MAY 15, 1939. Nevada City Nugget A ‘Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published : at Nevada City. H. M. LEETE Editor and Publisher Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Friday at Nevada City, California, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. : ; SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) Editorial On Schools (Continued from Page One) ~ dowment and school training. and large, people of that kind if they fail at home to bring their children up to respect their teachers in school, if they fail to instill a habit of obedience to proper authority, the school teachers, the principal and the superintendent of the schools will see that they get these things in school, or go without schooling. One or two rotten apples are not allowed to spoil the whole barrel. We know of our own knowledge of several youngsters who once were spoiled darlings, but who graduated from Nevada City schools to become fine, upstanding citizens as a result of the discipline they received in school. Of course we shall never have a perfect school superintendent. There has been one Perfect Man. But we can very easily get a superintendent of schools who will please a lot of naturally unruly boys and girls and their parents, who will do politics to hold his job, and whose standards of scholarship may easily lose Nevada City high school the high rating’ that it now holds in the University of California. We may even get us a superintendent who won’t cost us as much as Mr. Kjorlie. But God save us from cheap: school masters and, for that matter, from cheap school ma’ams. A word more. It is a fine thing to have new school buildings, modern equipment and athletic fields, etc. But it is more important that the teaching personel be proficient. Occasionally changes must be made. The sooner various groups of citizens give up moaning over the changes that their school authorities make in the teaching staff, even though in a small There are of course, still parents who for one reason or another never discipline their children at home, and are very resentful when their offspring receive any at school, but by ~ WITH YOUR ASSEMBLYMAN “SCOOP” THURMAN _ AT THE STATE CAPITOL on Labor Capital, set up f labor. As orious as legislation Mess ~ A. G. Thurman does not understand the problem of the farmer. Until such a time as the farmer can be duct, it is useless to try to set up any wage he shall be required to pay. One of the bills affecting farm labor came up for a hearing in our committee last Monday evening. The bill would set up a form labor board of three members to negotiate wage standards. While the author of the bill contended the matter would be voluntary, nevertheless the bill had several features, which in the writers’ opinion were objectionable. A rather interesting feature of the bill was. the fact that it was introdu'ced by a school teacher and at the hearing witnesses favoring its passage consisted of a motoin picture actress, a preacher and a woman C. I. O. labor union leader. Not a one of the proponents from the author to the CIO labor leader knows or understands the problem of the farmer, The bill was held on file and may come up again this week. Quite naturally your representative cannot vote for such legislation. Before we can talk about an increase in farm wages ,the farmer must receive a fair Labor arfd agriculture appear tu. profit for his product. And that is be as far apart as the poles. As a member of the assembly committee and your assemblyman has heard many arguments pro and con on ‘bills introduced by labor organizations which would a wage schedule for farm meritsuch might. appear to be, labor. guaranteed a fair profit for his pro-' something that no farm labor com‘mission as the bill proposes, can solve. a Speaking of agriculture and the farmer the following editorial comment taken from The Pacific Rural Press, we believe will interest the readers of this newspaper, inasmuch as it comments on the members of the assembly who refuse to be “rubber stamps.” Veteran farm observers at Sacramento feel better about democracy these days. They note crisp action of the legislature such as its endorsements of the criminal syndicalism law. Thev see dog racing stepped on. They observe determination to examine the details of the budget carefully to find out how the money is to be spent and by whom. In other words there is quite a bunch of milltant legislators at Sacramento who refuse to be regimented, think for themselves, and _ apparently are sincerely and couageausly trying to set our state in order .They hold pressure groups it arms’ length. Farmers hiad expected this from che senate, which is rural minded, but they have been pleased té ob: serve a new degree of indephdence in the assembly among mer, some 7° whom have turned their backs on their pre-election supporters, and réfuse to be rubber stamps. It does look like a hopeful sign. Legislators are supposed to give that sort of representation. When they do, it is democracy at work.’ We do not pretend to know what the final grist of the legislative mill will be, but the attitude of ‘the legislature feeds. our hope that democracy has not abdicated. community these changes may effect their close personal ministered. . Just Wonpgerom I wonder that the self same soil Sustains the thistle and the rose, I wonder about bits of verse And paragraphs of prdése. I wonder if we often feel More self important than we are, Forgetting those who helped to hitch Our little wagons to a star. I wonder if we can ever repay the infinite kindness of the person or persons who, at some time during our lives, led— perhaps pushed us toward the door of opportunity and encouraged us to pass through into wider and more useful fields of activity. I wonder who performed this most invaluable service for you; a wise parent, a beloved teacher or an understanding friend? Some one there was who pointed the ‘way and set your feet upon the right pathway; do you remember? No, we can never fully repay the generous souls for the happiness and satisfaction they brought into our lives; but _ we may pass this form of helpfulness along to others who are muddling through or fumbling at the door of opportunity and so furnish them with incentives to find themselves and to discover their own stations of usefulness among their fellow men. Sometimes it takes a well administered jolt to give a bemused youngster the correct viewpoint-—for example: “Mr. Blank,” said the office boy o his manager, “I'd like a raise.” nee The request was smilingly denied. “But I’ve made good, havn't ]>” “Yes,”” replied the manager, ‘‘you have made good so far, but we gave you the chance and we are now giving you _$ome very necessary training. Keep right on doing well for a few months more and then we'll take this subject up again.”’ I wonder if Herr Hitler is beginning to dodder; first, he . fairly raves at our Franklin for suggesting that he make non_ aggression pacts with his little neighbors, and then he begins doing that very thing. I wonder just where the free speech dead line lies; in ‘some countries only the dictator is entitled to speak his mind freely, openly and behind bullet proof glass; here in America, . the obnoxious Bund can rail, rant and revile ad nauseum and nothing is done to stop it. ___ I wonder if we're not really glad to get our hermits back in circulation; seems jolly to find Al Smith going about in his own derby and sunny smile, Lindberg flying here and there David Windsor giving us a fireside chat. e Uncle Silas says: “Silly of Hitler to ask the little nations Europe if they feared German aggression. He knew good well they were too scared to tell the truth.” Roce —A. MERRIAM CONNER.

The state assemibly, where the left: wing supposedly had its greatest] number of legislative supporters, ran up the American flag after attmepts had been made by radical groups to terrorize its more conservative leaders—anid took its stand on the side of law and order by administering a crushing defeat to a radical-supported bill seeking repeal of the California Criminal Syndicalism Act.
