Educators Set Up 10 Goals
Since 1931 the National Education Associ-
ation has had a committee working on social
and economic goals for America. Their
effort is one of many to define answers to
the questions "What do we want for Amer-
ica?"
Now the association and its committee
have capsuled the whole program in simple
vtfonn for school discussion. The ten goals,
which teachers believe "thoughtful Ameri-
cans desire for themselves and their poster-
ity," may be summarized as follows:
1. Heredity strength—that everyone shall
he well-born under conditions that will con-
serve his innate strengths and capacities.
2. Physical security—that everyone shall
he protected against accident and disease.
3. Culture-skills and knowledges—that
every individual shall master those skills
and knowledges that will enable him to use
and enjoy the culture of the group.
4. Culture-values and outlooks—that every-
■~-one shall be put in possession of the values,
standards and outlooks that reflect the ex-
perience of the race.
5. An active, flexible personality—that
everyone shall have such opportunities as
will foster initiative, ability to meet new
problems, weigh facts, resist prejudice, and
act cooperatively.
6. Suitable occupation—that everyone
shall enjoy the sense of being useful that
honest labor brings, shall be enabled to use
his skill where it will mean the most to
himjself and society.
,7. Economic security—that everyone shall
enjoy a minimum income that will provide
a reasonable standard of living.
8. Mental security—that everyone, especial-
ly in childhood- and adolescence, shall have
affection, toleration, and understanding of
life needs that will foster the best develop-
ment of personality.
9. Freedom—that everyone shall enjoy the
widest freedom that is compatible with the
equal freedom of others.
10. Pair play and equal opportunity—that
everyone shall act and expect others to act
in conformity with the highest good for all.
This is an effort to provide a yardstick by
which we may measure any specific proposal.
Does a proposed plan tend to bring to reality
any of the lofty ideals noted above? Does it
tend to hinder the development of any?
By such a standard one may well gauge
the multitude of panaceas which swirl in a
confused world. It is good to see that Amer-
ica's teachers are active in offering so bright
and so precise a yardstick.—Dongview Jour-
nal.

WELL, the Japanese situation is at last be-
ginning to clear up a bit. According to news
reports Japan is about to declare war on
China most any time now. That's an inter-
esting thing to know. Evidently up to the
-Mm* of declaring war Japan takes the atti-'
tude that she is merely giving her men an
opportunity for some first class home study
courses in 'military tactics.
MAN
IN THE ISSUE of January 8, 1938, the Dal-
las Morning News carried the following ref-
erence to Mineola in it's column, "Dallas and
Texas 50 Years Ago": "Ben Pegues has in-
vited F. T. Rerabert and Dr. R. B. Hamilton,
two of Longview's most prominent fox hunt-
ers, to a fox hunt at Mineola which has
been arranged for the entertainment of
George Gould of New York.'
*********
SELECTED out of the student body of 2,000
at Baylor University, Waco, as one of 17
students, James (Jelly) Williams, son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. A. Williams, Mineola, who wiill
have his picture and a record of his scholas-
tic achievements appear in the National
Collegiate Who's Who. Only students pos-
sessing an outstanding record in all phases
of college work including scholastic and
social activities acquire this recognition.
*********
A SIGNAL DISTINCTION has been accorded
Mineola by the National Commander of the
American Legion, Daniel J. Doherty, in se-
lecting this city as his first stop in Texas,
and making the local legion post one of only
nine which he will visit on his Texas tour.
Many dignitaries, both legion and political,
are expected to be in Mineola to greet him
when he first steps on Texas soil, Monday,
February 7, at 10:20 a. m.
*********
IN DELINEATING the experiences of his
recent trip to Europe at the legion meeting
last Friday night, Adjutant General Carl E.
Nesbitt declared the most impressive inci-
dent of his trip took place while visiting the
American cemetery in the Argonne. The
third miarker he came to bore the inscription
of a Mineola soldier, Harry Strickland. Carl
sent for a photographer and had a picture
taken of this grave which he sent to Mrs.
A. M. Carson and Mrs. Jack Holt, sisters of
Strickland.
*********
THE NEXT WAR, anxiously anticipated in
all of the European countries, according to
Nesbitt, came in for quite a bit of discussion
between visiting legionaires and the citizen-
ship of France. He remarked that it was the
firm conviction of those people that Amer-
ica would, as a matter of course, furnish the
men, money and munitions necessary to win
the next war as they did during the recent
one. Once a chump, always a chump, eh
Carl? We hope not!

The Light That Did Not Fail
By IRVIN S. COBB
FWAS a rainy night and a dark one. Under a street-lamp at Fifth
Avenue and Fifty-fifth Street a policeman came upon a disheveled
pnd weather-beaten citizen down on his knees pawing about over the
osohalt with his hands. _
-Se^m'an3 raised6a^red Sce^and^sp&e thickly, with hiccoughs for
PUnC"iaad0streakkbad luck," he explained. ''i^sht ten dQU^ bm ''
"Too bad," said the sympathetic officer. Is this the spot where you
*"irS^"Oh, no," stated the searcher. "I losht it over yonder, Sixth Avenue
an' Fifty-fifth, one block from here."
"Then why are you looking for it here when you lost it there .
"Better light at thish corner," said the inebriate, and went on
pawing. -tv >
(American New* Features. Inc.)
THE MAYOR SEZ-
Since I've studied it over I
have about decided that bad
luck just naturally follows
some people. This fellow Lind-
berg seems to have more of it
than any one I know for in
his youth he was called a
dreamer and couldn't get a job,
later his son was kidnapped,
then life became so unbearable
that he went to England and
now some Republicans are said
to want to nominate him as
their next presidential candi-
date, all of which seems that
they're trying to drive the fel-
low into permanent exile.
Congress is back on the job
again, with one eye on the
White House and the other on
this year's elections which
probably means that nothing
constructive will be done this
year but I surely wish they
could read the following letter
written 140 years ago. It is as
follows:
"I am for preserving to the
states the powers not yielded
by them to the Union and to
the Legislature of the Union
its constitutional share in the
division of powers; and I am not
for transferring the poyers of
the state to the general govern-
ment, and all those of that
government to the Executive
branch.
"I am for a government
rigorously frugal and simple,
supplying all^ possible savings
of the public revenue to the
discharge of public debt, and
not for a multiplication of of-
ficers and salaries merely to
make partisans, and for in-
creasing by every device, the
public debt, on the principle of
its being a public blessing." It
was signed by Thomas Jeffer-
son.
I've been talking with Old
Timer quite a bit this week
and though the old fellow was
under the weather, he was very
cheerful and had much to say
but when speaking of the long
ago, he said times certainly had
changed especially in the
school room, for when he was
a boy, they taught the three
R's—readin', ritin', and rith-
metic, but now they seem to
have changed to the three B's—
bluff, bull and brag.
I don't often get alarmed
and am not so now, but I feel
it is my duty to issue this
warning. When a man insists
on telling you how much he
likes you, always look around
for a motive. When a girl does
the same, look _around for a
house.
Very truly yours,
Mayor of Yantis.

Less Monthly Discomfort
Many women, who formerly suf-
fered from a weak, run-down con-
dition as a result of poor assimila-
tion of food, say they benefited by
taking CARDUI, a special medicine
fen: women, They found it helped to
increase the appetite and improve
digestion, thereby bringing them
more strength from their food.
Naturally there is less discomfort
at monthly periods when the system
has been strengthened and the vari-
