Millions Are In Need
Although powerful agencies
have been brought into action in|
the nation-wide effort to relive
the unemployment situation,
only a beginning has been made
toward the solution of this most
pressing problem,
Two principal means of relief
for the distressing condition
which exists among several mil
lion of our peojle are outright
charity and increased employ
ment. If it were possible to pro
vide jobs for everyone able and
willing to work, there would be
comparatively little need for
charity. But in the present situ
ation both means of relief must
‘be adopted, and all who can pos
-Bibly do so should help.
i Thereare a number of ways in
which the more fortunate ele
ments of the pepulation can as
sist the less fortunate, By mak
ing needed improvements and
repairs now, when they can be
made at lower cost than at any
time in years, more men can be
givin work. By buying a little
more liberslly, consumption of
commodities can be increased,
thereby creating a greater de.
mand for labor to supply them
By donating as much as possible
to the various relief agencies that
have been set up, diréct aid may
be given those whose condition
make this form of help necessa
ry.
Unless those who can do these
things will lend a hand and do it
quickly there will be untold suf
fering amoung the jobless and
their families this winter, Mil
lions arein desperate want right
now, and unless relief comes
promptly they are faced with
cold, hunger, sickness and in
many cases death,
The plight of these unfortu
nates should appeal to every
'person in whose breast there is
aspark of human sympathy.

When Are You Educated?
Albert Edward Wiggam has
written & very human book on
"“The Mark of an Educated Man,”
in which, as always, he effects a
combination, at once charming
and compelling, of the homely
wit and wisdom of the old crack
er-barrel philosopher and the
factual realism of the modern
scientist, (
As the executive head of a uni
versity that must annually wr_ea-'jl

10,000 students, I wish every
student and every parent of a
