One way to get unpleasant things
out of one's system without making
enemies is to keep a secret diary.
Many who would admit having been
foolish once upon a time would re
cent the suggestion that they were
still that way.

OBSTACLES TO RECOVERY
Citizens who sincerely have the wel
fare of their country at heart are un
animous in the hope tihiat the launch
ing of the renewed employment pro
gram under the four-billion-dollar
fund will focus attention again upon
the paramount problem ? that of (pro
viding jobs for the unemployed.
For some inexplicable reason, too
much attention has been diverted from
the major task. There has <been too
much effort expended on reform, and
not enough on recovery.
Such proposed legislation as tlhte
Black 30-hour week bill, the Wagner
labor disputes bill and the utilities
holding company bill simply serve as
snipers in crippling and killing gen
uine recovery efforts.
The Government can't buy recovery.
The expenditures of millions and bil
lions of the taxpayers' dollars will not
restore permanent prosperity. These
expenditures merely serve as a stop
gap, a temiporary boost in employ
ment. Recovery can come only
through private employment and that
calls for normal investment of pri
vate capital*
Investment money flees from dis*
turbing and threatening laws. It Is
Ubeless to argue that such fear is
groundless in tihte present instance.
HOW TIMES DO CHANGE
The Edgefield Advertiser tells us
that in looking ovecr old files (The Ad
vertiser is one of the oldest pa(pers in
the South) some interesting thinga
were noted. One of then* was thai
cheese was priced at ten cents pel
pound and kerosene at $1.25 a gal*
Ion on January 21, 1848.
Now tlhte prices are quite reversed,
Cheese sells for around 25 cents a
pound while kerosene has dropped to
about 15 coats per gallon. Back in
that day, though, they di|d not call
it kerosene; it was 'lam)p oil'. But
electricity has almost put lamtp oil
out of business, while kerosene is
still used for many other things. ?I

PRACTICAL EDUCATION
An intelligent contribution to th?
current discussion regarding what is
desirable in tibe way of present-day
education was made by Dr. John J?
Tigert, president of the University o {
Florida, who declared that the tru*
purpose of education is to fit the cit
izen to serve ao well as to live, 1
He draw 8 attention to two schools
of current thought, ' one of which
would stress cultural education, while
the other would place chief ompfoasis
upon vocational training. He admits
the validity of botftl, but he would not
go to the extremes sought by the ad
vocates of either. He favors a bal
anced program of education, with suf
ficient ffexibility to meet the needs of
each individual.
While not minimizing the value of
cultural studies and tihteir absolute ne
cessity for those who would enter the
learned professions, Dr. Tigert points
loilt that "one can not live by culture
alone; this is especially true of the
great mass of our citizens who cnust
engage in pursuits which involve the
use of their hands."
Practical education should be plan,
ned in accordance with the needs of
tlhte individual, in preparation for hia
\ life's work. At present too much
time is given to preparing for college
entrance examinations which only a
small percentage of public school pu
pils will ever have the opportunity ta
(take. The needs of those who must
quit school at the end of grammar or
high school courses should Ihlave mora
consideration.
THE IDEAL EDITOR
An exchange enumerates the qual
ities which should bfc possessed by
the ideal editor, as fpfllows:
He would be as rapid in action a? an
electric fan, yet as patient as Job;
he would have all the vigor of 20 and
the wisdom of 70; he would have the
frnemory of an encyclopedia and the
ipif allibility of an adding machine; (hte
would have an eye like an eagle and
!:he nose of a 'bloodhound; he would be
as tactful as an expectant heir be
fore a rich uncle, and as firm as
granite; he would be as discerning as
a shaft of light and have the analy
sis of a supreme court jurist; he
would be able to, at one and the same
time, answer two telephones, place
a call of Ms own, check a proof sheet
and add the middle name of the third
assistant secretary of the navy, and
remember whatever it was he was told
to bring home from the corner drug
store.
Obviously, as our exchange regret
fully admits, "there ain't no such
animal". Hence there never was, and
never will be, an ideal editor.

THE BONUS QUESTION
As matters stand to-day in Wash
ington, ex-soldiers of the World War
desiring to cash in on their bonus
have hopes up that something in their
favor may turn out at this session of
Congress. What tlhe President may do
with tho bill is generally known;
still there is that hope among the
veterans that a two thirds majority
may be secured to override a veto.
Taken literally, a bonus means
something good. It might be better
to refer to the money which the sol
diers want as a consideration or
stipend, or to describe it by some
term otiher than the one generally
employed. As it stands, the bonus
payment does not look good to the
administration. With a vote of 56 to
33 the chances of getting it do not
appear at all absolutely secure to the
legislators who favor it. Unpaid it
does the veterans no good. It has
been, and still is, a thorn in every
body's side, pricking all concerned ir
one way or another.
Taking everything into considera
tion and the administration's plans
ct distribution of great amounts of
government funds, ono must conclude
that this is a time of generosity,
dharacterized by a desire to get mon
ey in circulation.
Tho country could do worse than to
give the former men at arms an op
portunity to participate in the dis
tribution. ? Hartsville Messenger.
