150 APPOINTEES FAIL EXAM
School authorities and parents of
Louisiana are aroused by the state
ment of Representative F. F. Ed
ward Hebert that in the four years
he has been in Congress he has
named 150 youths from his district
to take qualifying examinations for
Annapolis and West Point and that
all faded.
While the entrance examinations
for Annapolis and West Point are
difficult, and many qualified on the
basis of scholastic work, the report
of Representative Hebert should
cause renewed consideration of the
work being done in the high schools
not only of Louisiana, but of all
states.
The educational machinery of
the nation has been set up largely
on the basis of the standards which
apply to courses of study and units
completed. At best, it is a faulty
method of evaluating the work done
by diiferent schools. Much depends
upon the pressure exerted by teach
ers and the pains taken to see that
the students do the work they are
supposed to do.
A complaint, commonly leveled
agamst institutional systems today,
is that the schools scatter their fire
too much. It is said that pupils
come from high schools without
adequate training in certain basic
studies. The curriculum, we are ad
vised, is too easy and students
complete the required units with
out exerting themselves intellec
tually.
These criticisms may have some
merit, but there is another side to
the question of education. The in
telligence that one gets from books
does not comprise the entire range
of education. Consequently, if a
student acquires the ability to study
and learns the technique of think
ing, the process of education will
take care of itself. Moreover, there
is much to be said for the broad
ening influence of some of the so
called “sidelines” that now appear
in the courses of modem high
schools.
NUTRITIONAL IGNORANCE
Nutritional surveys conducted
during the past decade indicate
that malnutrition is a serious prob
lem on the farm, as well as in the
city, according to Dr. W. H. Sebrell,
medical director of the U. S. Pub
lic Health Service, who points out
that the problem exists among peo
ple who have plenty of money to
spend for food as well as among
those who live on relief allowances.
It has been generally accepted
that nutritional deficiency diseases
resulted from poverty, but, in view
of recent studies, it must be con
cluded that some of them are the
result of ignorance. This calls for
a campaign of education to reach
all classes of people and to distrib
ute information as to proper d.et
to maintain and restore bodily
health.
One of the interesting facts of
human existence is the apparent
failure of individuals, through
many centuries, to study food in
its relation to good health. Only
in the lifetime of those of the pres
ent generation have we heard about
vitamins and even now, the aver
age individual is an ignoramus in
regard to diet and nutritional de
ficiency diseases.
HOW LONG WILL FRANCO LAST?
While definite information as to
the extent of the rebellious move
ment in Spain is not available, the
news arrives that the government
controlled Spanish press is accus
ing Russia of inciting the over
throw of the regime of General
Franco.
While it is perfectly natural for
the Spanish government to attempt
to raise the same bogey that served
its propaganda so well during the
Spanish rebellion, there is little
reason to suspect that the soviet
has a hand in difficulties that seem
to be increasing in Spain.
The rebellion of General Franco
against the legally established gov
ernment of Spain would have been
liquidated in short order except for
the assistance given the dictator
by the German and Italian gov
ernments. It probably would have
been liquidated, in spite of this aid,
if the governments of the United
States, Great Britain and France
had permitted the regular govern
ment of Spain to buy munitions of
war.
While the hold of General Fran
co upon the Spanish people is
somewhat dubious, disinterested ob
servers of the Spanish situation
eem inclined to believe that the
Franco opposition is badly divided
and unable to get together for de
cisive action against the dictator.
However this may be, Franco is a
vestige of an order that is being
wiped out in Europe and, in time,
will follow his friends out of of
fice and out of power.
ARGENTINA’S SINGULAR MOVE
The Argentine government, in
what it calls a step of “singular
importance” invites the governing
board of the Pan-American Union
to call a meeting of foreign min
isters of all American states “to
consider the fundamental aspect of
its international conduct.”
This is, indeed, an unusual pro
cedure. While we agree with the
Argentine government that it can
be done “without injury to her dig
nity,” the fact remains that the
necessity for such action has been
created by the South American
country, which has appeared to be
against the policy pursued by the
other American states.
We have no idea whether the
step proposed by the Argentine gov
ernment comes as a result of the
definite isolation of that country
or from a change of heart on the
part of officials, anxious to chart
a new course. The replies from
other American nations will un
doubtedly depend upon official in
terpretation of the motive behind
the proposal.
OUR ENEMY HAS TWO HOPES
Winston Churchill, in his address
to the House of Commons, declared
that:
“The enemy has two hopes: First
is that by lengthening the struggle
he may wear down our resolution.
The second and more important
hope is that division will arise be
tween the three great powers by
which he is assailed and whose
continued union spells his doom.”
As usual the British Prime Min
ister puts his finger on the mat
ter. He adds that the foe hopes
that some rift will split the alli
ance; that “quarrels tnay arise
about the Balkans or about Poland
or about Hungary” which will cause
the Russians to go one way and
the United States and Great Brit
tain to go the other.
Naturally, Mr. Churchill thinks
that “our efforts must ceaselessly
be bent” to deprive the enemy of
this hope. He realizes that “three
great powers so differently circum
stanced” have “many differences
in views about the treatment of
the numerous countries into which
their victorious armies have car
ried them.”
Admitting that he has “not hesi
tated to travel from court to court
I’ke a wandering minstrel,” the
British leader adds that always he
has had “the same song or the
same set of songs.” After all, he
marvels that “all hitherto has been
kept so solid, sure and sound be
tween us all.”

AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN
BY L. C. SMITH
Mr. Dewey can now sit down, rest and relax,
Study about his most unwise and dirty cracks,
Settle down and think of the things he said in vain—
For Roosevelt’s done it again, again, again and again!
Dewey thought into the White House he would sweep
While the Democrats lay in bed sound asleep;
But the donkey doesn’t mind the sleet nor rain—
For Roosevelt can do it again, again, again and again!
They told us of lots of woes and untrue things
About the New Deal and its many, many stings.
But a good name they could not harm or stain—
We knew Roosevelt would do it again, again and again!
Every word Dewey spoke helped to mow him for a loop,
Got him into much hotter and dirtier soup.
His ideas were all wrong, his promises in vain—
For Roosevelt did it again, again, again and again!
As governor of New Yo’k, Dewey can serve his mob,
While Roosevelt dutifully completes his wonderful job,
And uses his great and masterful brain
Again and again and again—and again!
“Do Not Judge Your Brother”
Precious thoughts of the Bible,
Precious food for the soul—
If you follow in its teachings,
God will make you whole.
He has given us a Saviour,
His own precious son;
If we will only follow him,
Life’s battles will be won.
Let us love one another
As a brother
As we travel on through life
In this world of sin and strife.
Do not judge your brother-
cast the beam from thine own
eye;
Perhaps you cannot see the good
in thy brother,
But he is nearer that home in
the sky.
Stop and think before you judge
him;
Read the Bible, gather food for
the soul—
Then at last a home in heaven
Will then be your goal.
—Mary Goodson Crawford.
of the Pet Milk Products Company,
of St. Louis, Mo., and Johnson City,
Tenn.
Alton Cogdell, director of the
State Milk Control Board, made the
announcement following a conver
sat.on with Maj. Bellew.
The survey will be quite exten
sive, he said, and will gauge milk
production possibilities, rainfall
and soil conditions, along with oth
er nformation necessary to such
project for dairy development.
The Pet Company o ficial ex
pressed astonishment and gratifi
cation at the intense and active
interest displayed by Georgians over
the proposal to convert this state
nto a dairy and livestock produc
ng area.
In endeavoring to build up Geor
gia as a dairy state, Director Cog
dell has held that milk production
in the state would be greatly in
creased if adequate plant facilities
were located here.
It was also announced that the
University of Georgia at Athens
w 11 conduct a short course in dairy
ing Nov. 21 and 22, with Maj. Bellew
as one of the instructors. Other
.acuity members of note will in
clude C. F. Huffman, of Michigan
State College; J. P. Lamster, of
Clemson College, and W. E. Peter
son. of the University of Minnesota.
TO SELFISH PARENTS
You do not care for D-Day news?
Your sons have dodged it all?
So far you managed, like a cheat,
To stay their draft board call?
For love of them, you have pre
ferred
Your sneaky, traitor roles;
To save their bodies, you have
spoiled
The spring-time of their souls.
You have destroyed their self-re
spect,
Their conscience, and their pride.
Your sole reward? A restless mind
And grim suspense beside.
Has free man’s spirit died in you?
Have you renounced your State?
Does a coward’s course appeal to
you
More than a hero’s fate?
Must you depend upon the sons
Os neighbors you abhor
To stand between the foe and you
In this most brutal war?
How dare you lure your sons astray
From obligation’s path,
And by your black ingratitude
De y God’s awful wrath?
Have you not made a fugitive
From duty of your sons?
You fear the ye’low-bellied Japs,
The double-crossing Huns?
A patriot will entertain
No scheme of sophist creed;
Youth like a fleeting dream shall
pass
In spite of selfish greed.
Will you not change your shame
ful ways
And make the sacrifice?
Bid your sons guard all human
rights,
Despite the awful price?
—DR. V. A. AVAKIAN.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 16, 1944.
