A PERMANENT CCC
The Civilian Conservation Corps has been the least
criticized and perhaps the most popular of all the New
Deal measures. The President’s proposal that it now
be made into a permanent agency received a very fav
orable reception in Congress.
The CCC was established by Congress at the Presi
dent's request in March, 1933. He urged that it “be
used in simple work, not interfering with normal em
ployment, and confining itself to forestry, the preven
tion of soil erosion, flood control and similar projects.”
The original measure provided for a life for the agency
of two years. In 1935 Congress renewed the measure
for another two years, which expires on June 30, of this
year.
There have been really three separate aims in the
CCC: (1) Relief, (2) body and character building, and
(3) conservation. In the beginning relief was the
most important consideration, and conservatin was
rather incidental. But this ‘‘army enlisted against
nature,” as William James would have called it, has
done its work well; its forestry and flood control work
have been of the highest value, and the young men en
listed have not only been put to useful work but have
received educational opportunities that would other
wise never have been available to them.
The results achieved certainly warrant the exten
sion of the CCC by Congress for several years to come.
The CCC is part of our relief program, and the program
in its totality is one of huge dimensions. To declare the
CCC permanent now might encourage WPA and other
emergency organizations to argue that their organiza
tions also shold be made permanent. The cost of the
CCC has not been negligible. In the the fiscal year
ended June 30 last, it was $486,000,000, which was
greater than that of either the army or the navy. The
President recommends its reduction as a permanent
agency from the present personnel of about 350,000 to
one of about 300,000, which, it has been estimated,
would cost about $330,000,000 annually.
Two years from now, when we have acquired more
experience, and when our general relief program is, let
us hope, considerably smaller, it should be possible to
separate more clearly the need of the CCC as a relief
agency and the question of whether it is the most eco
nomical and efficient manner of carrying on conserva
tion work. If, however, the CCC is made permanent
in years to come, it should at least be made clear that
what is being established permanently is an administra
tive framework and not any fixed personnel. The or
ganization should be able to release men in periods of
growing employment and to take them on again when
employment laggs. The permanent agency shopld, as
Robert Fechner, the present director, has suggested, be
placed under the merit system.

EDITOR.MARY HOOD CHAPMAN
Last Saturday night the Junior'
Prom fittingly capped the winter'
social season. A golden harvest
moon smiled down from a starry
ceiling, and melow music tickled
the toes of young and old alike.
The Juniors proved their skill at
effective decorating, and the
charming appearance of the hall
called forth many compliments.
All those who attended this tra
ditional school function enjoyed
it to the full, and we look for
ward to many such delightful af
fairs.
Off with the old and on with
the new was once again carried
out as the newly-elected officers
took over their posts at the Stu
dent Body meeting Friday after
noon. Much p mp and ceremony
marked the occasion, with fare
well speeches from the out-going
officials, and touching inaugural
addresses from the in-coming.
Matters pertaining to the cus
tomary school picnic, and plans
for next year were discussed, and
the meeting was adjourned.
The unbeatable Husikiettes met
their Waterloo on Tuesday after
noon,when the Scrub Team threw
them for the overwhelming loss
of 36 to 12. The boys were re
solved to trim the cockiness out
of the girls, and they certainly
did an efficient job. The enorm
ous lead they built up at the be
ginning of the game effectively
quenched the Huskiettes' Impes
for victory. In the last quarter
a desperate rally on the part of
the girls served to raise the score
somewhat, but the defeat was
still over-powering and the girls
feel suitably tdeek.
The Manual Training boys are
making numerals for the doors,
using the sulphuric acid process
to cut them from German tin.
A set of drawers to hoid screws,
nails, and small pieces of equip
ment is being made for the shop.
Eddie Shedley is building a
breakfast nook of table and
bench. Most of the boys have
finished their last project of the
year, and are studying for final
tests on woods, tools, etc.
GRADE NEWS
The seventh and eighth grade
boys lost to the High Sch >ol Girls
in two basketball games played
during the week. The game play
ed Thursday afternoon was a tie
when time was called but two
extra minutes were given and
the High School managed to
squeeze in two baskets, making
them the victors.
The seventh and eighth grades
have just completed their model
houses to be used in the Health
Week exhibit.
The seventh grade class is com
pleting the health banner to be
used in the Health Week parade.
—Roger Bjckman.
The fifth and sixth graders made
charcoal and chalk drawings this
week. It was their first work in
these mediums, and some of the
’-esnlts were very creditable.
The sixth grade have finished
tneir arithmetic for the year; the
fifth grade are beginning the
study of decimals.
The second graders are very
proud of their spelling and num
ber charts which were begun
this week, and are working hard
on their reading and numbers.
Drawings of the Little Rabbit
that Wanted Red Wings, and torn
paper posters decorate the bulle
tin board.
Continuing the work on their
Spring unit, the first graders took
walks, looking for birds, green
plants, and other harbingers of
Spring. They have transplanted
some moss to their room garden,
and are watching its growth with
much interest. For art projects,
they make drawings of the thing
that impressed or interested them
most during the trip.
