We in America have regarded education pretty much
as an individual opportunity. Russia, Italy, Germany have
seized upon it to mould youth to certain political and social
patterns. ***
As we have watched the Boy Scout Movement in oper-
ation here and elsewhere, it occurs to us that here we have
a truly national instrument of self-education which is non-
partisan—open to every race and creed and class. It says
we do not care how you vote, but vote and honestly—we do
not care what your party may be, but we urge you to love
America and to forget your merely selfish intt rest, in seek-

February is the birth month of Scouting in America.
We greet the Scouts of our community, of our nation and
of other nations.
It seems to us as we view the world from our editor-
ial windows, that this spirit of Scouting which says to a
boy ’‘To be a good citizen you must care about others”—
this gets in very close to what its all about in all the prob-
lems of our democracy and of world relations.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12—
Some people always have been
known to expect quite a lot for
a nickel, and it is perhaps just
a coincidence that some of those
who crab most incessantly at
performances of the govern-
ment are always happy when
they cAn help see to it that this
or that federal branch is iorced
to go hopping along on one leg.
One of the items in the presi-
dent’s reorganization program
which is stirring up the most
opposition in Congress calls
for the hiring of a half dozen
capable executive assistants at
the White Houre to h: ■ i
president administer his man-
killing job. inis l.l.o.l<, ......
$60,000 or $75,000 a year.
Right now, in Washington,
there is a perceptible temporary
breakdown in leadership. Those
close enough to the creaking
machinery to analyze what’s
happening insist that this is due
primarily to the inefuciency of
a one-r. an system of govern-
ment, in which the “one man”
has at his side 1)0 able aides to
serve as conduits for inco ' ng
information and outgoing exer-
cise of executive power.

The city of Manchester, N.
H., has not had a single case of
dlptheria for five years. It
should be possible for every city
In the United States to achieve
a similar record.
During the first six months of
his life, because of breast feed-
ing and the immunization re-
ceived at birth, a child usually
has the resistance mater.als
necessary to overcome many
Infections. Moreover, the nurs-
ing infant because of his help-
lessness, is usually isolated from
contact with many sources of
infection.
After the sixth month, how-
ever, the infant stops nursing
and begins to move about more.
It is necessary, then, to give him
the advantage of modern preven-
tive methods which increase his
resistance to certain diseases.
At the age of 9 months, chil-
dren may be vaccinated against
smallpox. The vaccination usu-
ally is made In the upper part
of the left arm or on the outer
side of the left leg, above the
knee. It will prevent smallpox
In the yast majority of cases.
By the twelfth month chil-
dren should be immunized ag-
ainst dlptheria. The method now
used involves injection of a sub-
stance called diphtheria toxoid.>
The doctor usually will inject1-
this into the loose tissue of
arm or leg, or occasionally Into
the back of the abdominal wall.
Some physicians use two doses
others a one dose toxoid. '
Usually the child begins to
develop immunity Immediate-
ly after the Injection and with-

Vacclnation against diphtheria
and smallpox is today an es-
tablished procedure for all chll-
ren.
When there are epidemics of
scarlet fever in a community
or in institution where there are
many children, such children
should be vaccinated against
this disease. For whooping cough
and measles, the methods are
not established and are used
only when epidemics threaten.
If a child or an adiilt is to
travel In foreign countries where
the food and water are not so
well sanitated as they are In
the United States, he is wise
to guard aga'nst typhoid fever
by taking the necessary In-
jections.

Congressmen will always ha
avid for patronage as long as
there is patronage to be had,
but officials of long experience
in dealing with them about jobs
say the chief thing the average
congressman fears is that some
other congressman will get more
gravy than he.

gressmen in the last four years.
General civil service would
mean a considerable saving for
the taxpayers, who now sup-
port thousands ot useless po-
litical job-holders. But many
congressmen are especially con-
cerned about their own pocket-
books. It costs money, they ex-
plain, to stake job-seekers to
money for board and room in
Washington while they wait
around hopefully for a job.

that the place where he

Capitol Hill.

The greatest hope for labor, for industry, and for the
American people generally lies in a vision of a standard of
Jiving and an industrial level far above that achieved in
1929.
For a time, in the depths of the depression, it became
the fashion to look back to 1929. “Our job,” we said, “is to
get production and wages back to the 1929 level.”
Increasingly, we begin to see now that it is no such
thing. We have seen production and wages rise in many
>’ industries, such as the auto business, to around that level.
And it is not enough. We know now that the unemploy-
ment problem, and our other besetting problems, will not
be solved by any such thinking.
One by one, leaders have been expressing this point of
view, this vision of a level of production and living far be-
yond the limping prosperity of 1929, which meant millions
unemployed even then, and a scale of prices which largely
nullified the high wages that then prevailed.
Latest of these prophets of plenty is Dr. W. E. Wick-
enden, president of Case School of Applied Science in
Cleveland, O. In a recent speech to industrial and civic
leaders there, Dr. Wickenden observed that industry needs
“a first-class prophet who can dramatize and idealize the
great task of serving rnore people, giving them more and
better goods at less cost, and creating more, better, and
higher-paid jobs.”
The unemployed, Dr. Wickenden emphasizes, can nev-
er get jobs in merely satisfying our old needs. Their jobs . -
He ahead4n “satisfy ing-wants- we have yet scarcely discov-
ered, in industries not yet created, using processes not yet
invented, and employing facts of nature we have not yet
even discoveisd.”
Spreading our present income more equitably, thru
the higher wages the present strikes are aimed at getting,
is not enough. “High wages benefit a few,” Dr. Wicken-
den notes, “and their effect is temporary. But lower costs
benefit everybody, and their effect is lasting.” The ex-
haustive Brookinfcs reports on the economic situation have
already suggested such a solution.
Research, effective management, enterprise, and vis-
ion, those are the things which are going to lead us for-
ward to a higher scale of living than ever before.
You need not be a philanthropist, or a sentimentalist
who wishes more people to have more things because it is
nice for them. All you need to be is one who looks facts
in the face and sees the direction in which our high-geared
industrial machine is headed.
That machine is not a stationary engine. It moves,
and to run at all, it must move in the direction of greater
plenty for more and more Americans.

\.e do not as yet recognize
any s.iec-fic method of inocula- I
tlcn against common cold. Cer- "t,
tain vaccines are promoted for
this purpose, but they still are
considered highly experimental,
and are not recommended by
the majority of doctors.
With available methods of
prevention, and with the spec-
ific control of infectious dis-
eases that is possible, the pre-
valence of diseases in the United
States is a definite charge
against the intelligence of its
citizens.
America seems to have more
than 350,000 cases of measles,
200,000 cases of smallpox, 180,-
000 cases of scarlet fever, 100,-
000 cases of mumps, and 200,000
cases of whooping cough each
year. It should be possible to
cut down these figures exactly
as we have such diseases as
typhoid fever.
Control of diphtheria Is defin-
itely In sight. With develop-
understandlng of these diseases,
ment of research and better
it is reasonable to predict that
the future will see still more of
the infectious diseases brought
definitely under control.

Now comes word that the U. S. Geographic Board is
erasing from the map certain names which it deems undig-
nified or freakish.
It seems to us that here is one government activity
that could well be held down.
For one of the nicest things about the United States
has always been the interest and original names that stud
the map. At any time, ^'ou can spend hours over the at-
las map of the country with great pleasure at the mere
reading of the names. There is originality there, and
power, and evidence of the humor that makes America
what it is.
But here we find a government board changing Dish-
water Pond to Mirror Lake. Shades of Shakespeare!
Here’s a rose that by another name loses its scent entirely!
Mirror Lake, indeed! We don’t know the lake in
question, but we’ll bet a cookie there was a good reason
why it was originally called Dishwater Pand, and that
"Mirror Lake” is gross flattery.
So, too, they changed Widow’s Tears Falls to Bridal-
veil Falls, and Mud Lake to Jewel Lake.
We’d as soon substitute the puny pink poll of a Per-
sian potentate for the glowering grimace of a Roman
gladiator! Have a heart, Mr. U. S. Geographic Board, have
a heart!
