The construction of these buildings does not represent the altruistic spirit of the population; nevertheless, it does represent the affirmative vote of a people who have accepted the responsibility of bonds created and issued for the purchase and erection of school buildings. The mere physical or material satisfaction of owning all of this splendid equipment is not our most vital concern. We are more interested in the supreme purpose for which education is provided and the end to be achieved through the generous expenditure of such vast sums of money. What is the chief aihi of education? Is it to enable Our ashingioh ! Letter --By-- National Editorial Washington, February 3 --• Flood ravages, which taxed the resources of the Federal government, have diverted the public mind and political inter* est in the automobile workers' strike. The fact, that this issue is relegated to a position of secondary-importance at this time is best probably best for all concerned, "as it lessens the heats of controversy. Legislators from the many- states in the flood belt are fully occupied With urgent locail problems incident to the flood so that they have little time or inclination to engage the labor imbroglio. It is, however, A matter which cannot be side-tracked for the government's role has. been en-' larged to such an extent that a settlement must be affected at an early date. With the Federal purserstrings now wide open for relief of flood-stricken areas, questions are raised as to the relative unpreparedness along the rampaging rivers. There are a variety of answers, hut eonspicious in the replies are the evidences of petty politics. It is generally known that the patronage evil has figured prominently in appropriations for flood control. The Corps of Engineers of the Army, which is now doing such yeoman work in the field, was, until superseded by newer alphabetical agencies, the most effective lobby at work on Capitol Hill. Their spokesmen traded with legislators. This backscratching system resulted-- ati large expenditures for brides over navigable waters at remote places when funds jcovtfd have been used to advantage in deepening and widening major streams and tributaries. It is an old story around here that many meritioug plans, which if carried out, would have reduced much of the present devastation had they not been boggered down hy petty local politics. When you, as an impartial observer, watch the play of forces absorbed in the triangular game of government-- labor and employers, which features current furore in automobile industry, it is unlikely that you will be impressed by the deportment. Overnight developments along all fronts usually explode yesterday's claims of all factions. By exercising patience and forbearance, it is only a matter of time before the absurdities become apparent to the layman. Just now the picture shows various government agencies wielding a big club over automobile manufacturers.- This persecution may do more to solidify public support to the employer's side than any one factor. It is an established fact that the best way to advertise your opponent's qause is by persecution. The labor unions profited enormously by the utiblic's reaction to this method for many years. Now the tables are turned with their friends in Congress and in the Administration having their impartiality questioned. Government agencies are drdinarily considered neutral and their effectiveness as an arbitrator is lost once this ratjng is in doubt.- ; ' / Personalities *nd\ " factions loom conspicuously in the prevailing picture. Standing out in bold relief is the pathetic figure of Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor. The story is current in Congressional cloakrooms that Miss Perking resented the growing stature of Edward McGrady, Assistant Secretary, as the President's trouble-shooter in labor battles. It is claimed that her interference had much to do with the break-up of a settlement engineered by McGrady in the maritime workers' strike. McGrady was formerly a chief lobbyist for the American Federation of Labor, an organization from which John L. Lewis and his followers were expelled last fan. Secretary Perkins, peeved at the refusal of the General Motors executive to recognize her as the supreme government authority on labor matters demanded Congressional authority im~ rftediatelv to compel a conference. Now comeS' William Green. A. F. of L. president, and a foe to Lewis, to warn Congress not to give the lady cabinet officer vast powers of a trial court. Unlike Lewis, seeking only quick victories, Green foresaw a Damocles sword in the Perkin's demand because unions as well as employers woqld be obliged to produce their books. Lewis still considers the President is his ace card because of election obligations. The Congress will likewise require a strong-armed peacemaker soon.

We have our professional schools from which are, graduated our teachers, doctors, lawyers. But even though schools provide specified training, are we justified in thinking that education has fulfilled its purpose, if it equips one to earn a living? Let us remind ourselves that education is no guarantee of affluence, comfort of happiness. No. Real education goes more deeply than that. It does not guarantee the possessor of a diploma employment in his field of specialization. He may be compelled to work in some other field, in some other kind of work wholly different from that for which he received special training. But in spite of the nature of his employment, the educated man should be ready for a richer, more contented life, if he has caught the meaning of education in the routine process itself. Education builds life as well as life equipment. -- Th^ ultimate aim of education is the development of character. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Thoughts make character, and education trains the mind to think. Right thoughts inspire right motives which, in turn, direct the current of the stream of life. In a little room of one of the large power plants on-the banks of the great Niagara sits a solitary man. He has under his control volts of electricity "beyond our imagination. He piust know not only how to use the power but also when to use it and where to direct it. Character as well as skill is constantly put into execution. Education motivated by a high moral purpose and a sincere altruistic spirit should be the goal of in dividual effort. No matter what sacrifice is necessary, if education develops the character of a man, it gives him an equipment that will not fail, however uncertain may be sthe conditions of employment or the kind of work offered. Education -must cause a man to know himself as well as facts and theories: and to give himself • sincere interest in his work. twm«» y»m»>w thim. i- C : - f
