PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY. APRIL 8. 1903 Comment Worthy Example To Follow Memphis, Tenn., has, through its comprehensive safety program, reduced its fatality toll by 31.9 per cent under that of 1936 and 28.3 per cent under the average for the preceding three years. This reduction in fatal accidents is as a result of earnest endeavor in education, traffic law enforcement, and street improvement. As a reward for this splendid record, Memphis was named grand prize winner in the national safety contest conducted by the National Safety Council for the last year. The city which comes nearest doing the maximum for safety that could practically be done is awarded the prize. Other cities may profit by following the example set by Memphis. The reduction of deaths caused by traffic accidents can be achieved, and it is a goal toward which all cities and communities should strive. Propaganda Affects Our Opinions Propaganda is effective. But just how effective it is on groups of high school students has been tested by Dr. Herman H. Remmers of Purdue University. The method was this: first, the students recorded their opinions on various public questions, when they were subjected to short propagandized talks and papers. After this they were retested. Even Doctor Remmers must have been surprised by the results. Time reports that after hearing, for 15 minutes, three lessons on the advantages of conservation, students favored government control of farming. Only a five-minute paper on the problem of murder was necessary to change their ideas in favor of capital punishment. On labor questions, reactions were more violent. A shift in attitude was shown, but the group split into two factions. College students who pride themselves on their higher-than-average IQ's will be interested to note that propaganda effects were as great on children of high as of low IQ. After two months some of the propaganda had worn off but six months later its major effects were still preserved. We are literally bombarded with every kind of propaganda each day. It reaches us through the daily papers, our friends, radio, in fact, through every line of human communication. Our problem is mainly a selective one. Which side's propaganda shall we accept in regard to peace or war, labor conditions, and the multitude of other present-day situations? Our views will be determined in part by our previous attitudes caused by the mores of this society but largely by the effectiveness of the propaganda to which we are daily subjected. Of all admissions to state insane hospitals, 10 per cent are because of one end result of syphilis-general paresis. Reduction of Juvenile Delinquency Community co-operation with authorities reduced juvenile delinquency 50 per cent in Delaware county, Indiana, since 1931. According to a report made by Judge Leonidas Cuthree, he handled 350 cases in 1931 as compared to 171 cases for last year. On Jan. 1, 1931, 71 youngsters were on probation while at the beginning of this there were only 21. The reason for the decrease in juvenile delinquency lies in the friendly and helpful way in which the offenders are handled. The hearings are conducted informally and in private with parents and guardians attending. The judge asks the child about his interest in sports and hobbies and makes an effort to understand the child before he considers the delinquency. Sometimes the best remedy lies in advising the child to go straight, spend more time with his hobbies, and to love and obey his parents. "Co-operation by public school teachers, principals, community centers, parent teacher associations, and the police department is the main reason for decrease in juvenile delinquency," states Judge Cuthrie. Treating the young offender as he now is, but with a view of what he may become in the future, seems to be a sound policy to follow in dealing with him. The youth may have abilities to become an excellent citizen whose contribution to society is of great value. But by thoughtless and unfair treatment we may easily destroy all his future possibilities. We should give the child an opportunity to grow and to develop into a useful, healthy, and happy person. Speed and Liquor Are Fatal Twins Traffic accidents increase approximately 100 per cent over the weekend, according to a statement made by the Kansas highway commission. Every week of the year more than 750 persons are killed in automobile accidents. The commission suggests two ways in which the driver may help to reduce this saecrifice. First, watch the speed. The driver should not drive so fast that he cannot stop the car within the assured clear distance ahead. Second, if a person drinks, he should not drive; if he drives, he should not drink. The drunken driver is dangerous both to himself and to other motorists. Even a few drinks may cause a fatal lag in the driver's reaction time and result in a fatal accident. Campus Opinion No Exchange of Ideas Editor, Daily Kansan: Since the selection of the German exchange scholar is again a front page topic at this time of the year, it should be pointed out that, since the advent of Hitler, these scholarship have lost their fine significance and have been replaced by the change of ideas by representative students of both countries. Now there is no longer such an exchange because the balkan comes only from one side. It is gained from these scholarship. Our American students go over there to be guided about the parts of Germany that Hitler wished them to visit. They are not allowed to concentration camps or to places where they might see the torture and persecution of minorities. Butter, eggs, and coal are among the most common items of German citizen. As guests, they are kept so well-entertained, they forget the ugly aspects of the fascist regime. We have been told by met only the most congenial propagandists, they usually come back filled with the most sickening lot of baloney a human being can swallow. This is esoteric, too. Our students in recent years have been of an uncritical and reactionary type of mind. In fact, only this kind of student But the German students who come here can go anywhere American citizens can go; they can say anything they please—even to making little speeches in which they compare democracy very unfavorably with fascism. According to recent instruction issued to all high school students, the German students obligated to use every opportunity to preorganize. Furthermore, as far as a more personal exchange of ideas is concerned, there is little opportunity for it in this course. Instead, in the case of natural friend from the more naive uncritical American students because they wish to avoid the explanations and attempts at justification they are forced to make when dealing with them. In short, what happens is that the Americans are filled with fascist propaganda from both ends, whereas the German students remain practically untouched by American democratic ideals. Anti-fascist.
