Twenty Million Students Secretary Glass, in starting the fall thrift campaign among the nation's school children, estimates that there are this fall in the schools of America 20,000,000 school boys and girls. Twenty million people is quite a few, when one comes to think about it, and of these twenty millions by far the greatest percentage can al ready read. By the end of this school year all of them will be able to read at least a little. And what is the first thing the child reads after his school reader? The newspaper. He begins with the funny page, but before his parents realize it he is asking questions about the stuff on the front page, or spelling out the editorials printed in big type. Right now, what is he read ing? About mob rule in Oma ha and in Arkansas and half a dozen other states, lynchings, shootings, st4ikes among the steel men, the coal men, the dock men, the possibility that his teachers may join the strik ing fraternity, and that his father and his office assistants may also take the prevalent method of stopping work to ob tain higher pay. Force and riot, force and riot! This is what 20,000,000 coming Amer ican citizens in the formative period of their lives are taking in through their eyes and their pores. Isn't it about time their elders thought of this, and so conducted themselves that .the daily news may present lessons in law-abiding citizenship and patriotism for the persual of these highly imitative little people? Then as they come to years of discretion it may be discretion indeed, instead of 20,000,000 citizens trained and bred to folly and violence. -Greenville News.
