WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1929 FISHING President Hoover had a quiet, unannounced fishing trip recently. Natives around the fisherie preserved did not know that he was coming and consequently there was no crowd assembled when he reached the place. With his characteristic business-like ability the president immediately went to fishing and had good luck. The account of the president's fishing trip sounds just as a fishing trip should. There should be a quiet shaded oylvan retreat far from the "madding crowd" where the angler might sit and dream undisturbed, or if he cared to, just sit. A spreading tree might help too, perilise not the luck, but the beauty of the situation since nothing is more soothing than an occasional leaf from a silver leafed poplar or a maple树 slowly fluttering down to glide away on a silvery ripple of water. Sunbeams help too, on a fishing trip. Not too many, just a few to glance laughingly down through the leaves at their own reflections in the water. Accommodating trout and to the success of such an expedition but when an angler piles his hook and line just for sheer enjoyment, calm, solitude and seclusion are among the chief requisites. A DIFFERENT FARM RELIEF In the clamor and bustle to aid the farmer in becoming economically free and independent and guarantee him just compensation for his labor, his ultimate need has been overlooked. This need is education. Subside him until his pocketbook bulges, guarantee until he can vie with the wealthiest industrialist—it cannot last until a former foundation has been indied. These aids are ephemeral, passing and only remedies—not wholesome cures. They cannot be otherwise while they are so fundamentally unsound. Up to the time of the World War the farmer was fairly prosperous and satisfied, because his social environment had not been perceptibly changed by any revolutionary turns in urban life. But conditions have changed in the last ten years. It is an age of industrialism, machinery and "big business." The farmer is overwhelmed because he is not educated to meet the situation. He is still following, to a greater or lesser extent, the precepts and methods given him by his forefathers. He is just beginning to realize that if he is to compete, if his children are to compete, with a scientifically regulated urban area, he must meet them on their own grounds, and use their own weapons. That weapon is education, the foe of poverty, ignorance, incompetence and stagnation. The "Little Red School-House", pictares as it has been painted, is not the answer to the problem. Adequate housing conditions, properly trained and paid teachers, a standard term of attendance and decent recreational facilities are a few of the necessities. And when they are adequately pro- ided for he will neither need nor ask "for farm relief", his problems will mave reasonly solved themselves. TALKIE TROUBLES Just a few weeks ago they were millionaires and prospective millionaires and then came the talkters. At first, when it cost a young fortune to install voice producers, the actors kept up hope, but when the vintaphone suddenly swept the popular priced movie palaces the millionaires and near millionaire began hunting voices. The public that had worst-shipped the silent actors who woke them laugh and cry, will not付 their money to hear coarse, squwky voices, no matter how pretty the eyes we how good the acting. Another talkie trouble comes up when the distribution enters the foreign field. In the past Hollywood has been supplying the world with most of its films. Sub-titles could be easily changed to fit the country to which the film was being sold. But with the arrival of the talking picture other people want to hear their own language. Now it is up to the smooth-faced, dark-eyed screen Ramen and baby-faced vamps to turn linguists. But how many can do that? Another solution would be for the people of other countries to learn English, and that is highly improbable. Either Hollywood will become copolitan, a little world in itself, or lose its control of the world's cinema simply. NEGLECTING THE NORMAL In an article in a recent issue to the New Republic, Bluetooth Amidon gives an iconic account of an attempt to place Bill and Nancy, two very normal children, in school. Entrance for the two children was sought in school after school; at one they are refused because they have no physical defect, in another because their I. Q.'s are too high and in still another because their I. Q.'s are too low. Miss Amidon continues: "My children should go to the pubilic schools. Public schools were designed for 'the average child.' . . . I went to visit it. "A bored young substitute teacher showed me about it. It was an old yellow brick building. With sinking heart I walked through its scaffold and dingy halls, peeled into its bleak classrooms, where nervous teachers tried to hold the interest of overcrowded classes, with no resources outside textbook assignments and blackboard demonstrations. . . Finally we reached a great, sunny corner room. Gay little green chairs and tables were scattered about two canaries sang in one window. Fat ducks waddled across the crisp, creamy window curtains. . . . 'Oh, my children would love this!' I exclaimed. "But they couldn't come here," said my guide indifferently, "this is for our sub-normals." This satirical article is perhaps a little overdrawn, but it shows in what direction American grade schools are tending. The educators are being carried away by the newly developed methods of caring for the subnormal and abnormal children and losing sight that most children are only normally normal. Psychological, educational, and mental testing may rightfully have a place in modern education, but it would seem that as undeveloped as the testing field is at present, educators are placing too much emphasis on digression from the normal. Today's Best Editorial Whatever hopes ex-Governor Smith may have cherished for 1923 are fading. His sisyphy over Tammany has been on the verge of collapse, Curry as its leader. The Wigwam has turned from its new leadership of the so-called "New Tammany" to its old leadership. He and his shadowes of Fernando Bill, "Tweed, "Honest John" Kelley and "Dick" Craker have precluded the battle it by Smith and Wagner and Foley. WITH A LILY IN ITS HAND For Tammany has returned from its tentative adventures into deciency and from its travels along new political terrain, she has been able to pots of municipal patronage and to its ancient political methods. Tammany has laid aside its dinner jacket, hung inside the cardboard and turned again to its old ways of the old days. The Wigwam may be able to re- elect Mayor "Jimmy" Walker. It may be elected for a few years to do as Tammany always has done. But it has never been in the crowd that hung around the clubhouse and does the rough work at the polls and the new crow that toured the town. Nor will former Smith was its leader. Meanwhile, the powerful Democratic machines of the Bronx and Brooklyn are calling for the power out of the old organization. The district leaders have tad their way. They have remediated the one inundation that still is fit even produced. They have turned their backs on any hope for national integration and the Democratic of the South and the West to get rid of the Smith influence in this region. "It is a sorry ending for the "New ammuny" that was paraded before the first time we went to reests today with its ice bums folded across its alabaster boston and lily plants." As Others See It Philadelphia Public Leiger WHITE CROSSES For several years the State of Ohio has placed a white cross at the entrance to the state park where he resulted from an incident of the road. At the point where a main crossState highway crosses an intersection in Ohio, Indiana, Ohio, and Richmond, Ind, there are as many as six of these mute, three-way crossings. These crosses make a deep impression on the driver who crosses the State. Undoubtedly they result in more They are, of course, somewhat depressing. Possibly that is the reason why a new State Highway Director proposes to discontinue their direction, but many of those who regard them to gravesse or morbid. He should reconsider his decision. With motor fatalities mounting in spite of efforts to re-establish public safety, he must be a more careful driver out of the average motorist should be maintained.

Phone 653 Rent-A-Ford Instructers, by virtue of their very title, are, although many refuse to admit it, considerably more versed in feeding student, and through long or short years of experience know this of these superficial manners. It is this type of student who communicates well with his instructor how much he enjoys the course and extends他 in political science, geology, or whatnot. Always remind him to his best efforts, because information, he hopes to acquire personal acquaintances. That will raise the question: Does that rule work? personal and sincere friendship with professors is laudable. Such friendships are valuable and lasting. And when students really encounter difficult situations, professors are happy to help them. But the so-called student who about this time of year assumes the very important role at the proper time, laughs at the proper jokes and chirps a cheery "good morning" to each instructor, is the person who in life will follow this trend, superficially, flattery, and insincerity. -Daily Nebraskan.
