I wonder about school days now
And all the lads and lassies
Preoccupied with serious tasks
In lecture halls and classes; .
And I do hope as day by day :
They gather in their places, ‘
That nothing gleaned from Wisdom’s book
May cloud their morning faces.
I wonder if children, boys especially, really dread returning to school after a pleasant vacation, or is the belief that
they do just a fallacy, adopted and believed in because of its:
many repetitions.
Certainly if one’ may judge by the excited bustle of
preparation, prevailing at this time in and about homes and
institutions of learning, the gleeful salutations and _ lilting
laughter, the prospect of resuming school work is filling no
young soul with dread. Every where the children are flockine
back to school with bright eyes, smiling faces and eager anticipations. of further conquests over that illustive giant named Education. ae
I wonder what education really is; the word comes from
the Latin, educe, meaning to draw out; but you can’t draw
anything out of an empty container, so we fill that melting
pot, the brain, with every conceivable brand of information,
and the result as demonstrated by the individual, marks him
as educated, or uneducated—quite definitely.
American standards of education are high, the character,
ability, and initiative of American educators excellent; bearing these facts in mind, when the young flower of the family
has made the grades from A. B. C. to B. A., we expect to find
him devoid of ignorance and superstition and possessed of an
open minded tolerance, a comprehensive knowledge: of the
world, its peoples, history and affairs, and the ability to recoc
nize-and appreciate the best in literature, music, art, morals,
manners and ideals. American schools and colleges expose
the student to this type of culture; if it fails to take—we can
only watch anxiously as he enters upon that important phase
of learning, which begins where school days end and prayerfully consign him to the tender mercies of those two grim
masters, Time and Experience.
I wonder why critics deal so harshly with certain modern
song titles; now these titles are all right, they are merely misdirected. While inelegant to a degree and wholly unsuited to’!
the delicate expression of romantic emotions, they might well,
prove useful in other departments of lyric art. For instance;
that absurd first line, —You leave me breathless—suggests
a serenade to a mountain which one has climbed gaspingly,
You Get Under My Skin— is an excellent title for an Ode to

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

PART TWO
Answer: Certainly. Low wages would force down the price of commodities. The automobile now selling for $1000 would sell for $500 or
less. The used cars now selling for $250: would probably sell for $75 or
less. Tires would sell for about $2.00 and gasoline for seven or eight
cents a gallon. And whiskey (another necessity) for about a dollar a
gallon.
_ Question:
products? : i
Answer: The following prices (as of 1900) would return. Round
steak 12c; pork chops 15; ham 12c; poultry 12c; eggs 12c; butter 20c;
milk 5c; flour 2c, And house rent, clothing and other commodities would
be less than half the prices of today. :
Question: Just how would this increase th
power?
;
Answer: It would equalize the purchasing power of individuals.
There are in America today over eight million families and six million
other individuals having small ‘fixed incomes. There are millions of
workingmen and women now receiving small wages who would continue
to receive nearly as much as they are now receiving. Their purchasing
power would be doubled, they could buy two suits where now they buy
one, more shoes, more of everything. Others would find their purchasing
power increased to a lesser degree because increased production would
bring th prices of commodities below the wage level th,at is, the decrease
in commodity prices would be greater than the decrease in wages. —
Question: How could this reversion to the status of 1900 be
complished? ‘
Answer: By the passing of a minimum and maximum wage law setting the minimum wage at $2.00 a day and the maximum wage at $3.50.
Question: How about the salaries of municipal, state and, government employees? ‘
Answer: If the maximum and minimum law did not carry to them
their salaries would be automatically forced down. Lower rents would
bring lower taxes, there would be smaller revenues: Lower margins of
profit would effect rents. State and government employees would he
dropped until there would be only twice as miany as were needed at salaries only twice what their services are worth after they had heen reduced about 70 per cent. ; i
Question: Why do high wages and high prices catise hard times?
' Answer: High wages cause high prices which cause curtailed purchasing by the 75 per cent of the people who receive small wages or
small incomes. Curtailed purchasing decreases production which compels
manufacturers to lay off help. It effects the railroads, jobbers, wholesalers and retailers, the manufacturers. of fibre and ‘wooden containers,
cordage, glass, paper, canning factories. It effects the farmer and every
branch -of industry. :
