The Easter season was celebrated
by the children of the First, Second
and Third Grades of the school en
joying an egg hunt.
Miss Annie Lou McCord carried
her children to the grove near the
school where the bunnies
had been on duty. There, plenty of
beautiful eggs had been left to de
light the hearts of these little ones,
after which they ate lunch and enjoy
ed a merry spring outing.
Mrs. R. L. Smith and Miss Ague.-
Malone with their children, followed
the bunnies’ trail on the Settle’s
green, adjoining the rear of the
school grounds. A large number of
eggs of varied and colorful hues'
were found, satisfying each heart
with the proverbal joy of an Easter
Egg Hunt, A sandwich lunch with a
merry portion of laughter and cheer
crowned this first outdoor party of
the season with unrivalled success.
All the children, who took part in
the recent operetta, “Goldilock’s Ad
venture,” were given a wiener roast
last Friday afternoon. This was a
time of much fun for the large num
ber, who enjoyed the outing

ADVENTURE
To the young man who wants to
go adventuring I recommend the
Canadian Northwest. The procession
ol explorers and prospectors into the
northern part of British Columbia
has begun, and wonderful tales are
being brought back of the mineral
Tidiness of the region lying from
500 to 1,000 miles north from Van
couver.
I have heard of gold outcroppings
which indicate deposits of the yellow
p
metal exceeding anything yet dis
covered on earth, of veins where sil
ver is to be found in pure blocks
of huge size. From up north in the
Great Bear Lake country there was!
brought down not long ago twenty
tons of radium-bearing pitchblende
ore which assayed above SB,OOO a
ton.
1 wish I were forty years younger!
VOTERS
Last week I expressed the hope
that at the elections of 1932 more
of the voters of America would go
to the polls. Nearly half of those
eligible to vote in 1928 did not do so.
Now I learn that the United States
Junior Chamber of Commerce has
taken this up in a serious way and
is starting a campaign now to try to
get at least fifty million votes out
on November Bth next. That is a
live organization of young business
men and I think they will get some
where. I
It looks as if we might have an
interesting and exciting Presidential
campaign after all.
UNEMPLOYMENT
Two hundred and fifty thousand
men—a quarter of a million—have
been put back to work in a month
since the American Legion began
its drive against unemployment.
That is a big help, but there are still
probably four or five million men
normally employed who have no
work to do now.
There are hundreds of communi
ties, whole counties, in fact, in which
there is no unemployment. But there
are thousands in which unemploy
ment has gone on so long that actual
suffering is beginning. Governors
of thirty states reported last week
to Washington that there was no ac
tual starvation in their states, but
there must be many families peril
ously close to it.
When this depression is over and
we are rolling along on the wave of
the next boom, will we do anything
to prevent a recurrence of this sort
of distress? If past hostory is any
guide, I’m afraid not.
EDUCATION
When I was a boy getting on
toward college age people did not
think of a college education as a
direct help to earaing a living. Young
men went to college because they had
a thirst for education and culture
for their own sakes.
In the past thirty years or so there
has grown up a theory of college
education based upon the better
earning power of the college grad
uate. That has led to an entire
change in the curriculum and the
point of view of the colleges. It no
longer sets a man apart from his
fellows to be known as a college
graduate. Any smart boy can get a
degree of some sort or other, and he
doesn’t have to be so smart, at that.
Of real education, in the old cultural
sense, there is little to be
in most of the colleges.
I agree with Dr. Harvey N. Davis,
president of Stevens Institute of
Technology, who said the other day
that the result of this overproduc
tion of college graduates is bound to
be a reduction in the cash value of
a college education and a return to
the state of mind in which young
folk went to college for the sake of
learning how to get the most satis
faction out of life, rather than how
to get the largest number of dollars.
HOTELS
One by one the great hotels of
New York are going into the hands
of receivers. There are not half a
dozen hostelries of the first order
left that are not bankrupt, and hun
dreds of second rate and third rate
hotels are in thesame fix.
New York went crazy over hotel
building a few years ago. People
were going to give up their homes
and live in hotels; New Yorks three
hundred thousand daily strangers
would increase to a million, and all
would want ten-dollar-a-day rooms.
So hotels were promoted by specu
lators, who got theirs, and left the
buyer of second mortgage bonds
holding the bag. These credulous
“investors" are losing all they put
in, and hotel rates are coming down
to something near what people are
willing to pay.
One man I know came to New
York recently and looked at a suite
of four rooms in one of the largest
and most fashionable hotels. "Twelve
thousand dollars a year,” said the
manager. ‘'l’ll give you $250 a
month,” said my friend. His offer
was accepted!
