THE GULLIBLE PUBLIC
Nowhere has the millennial circus
mere enthusiastic barkers than
among the advertising purveyors of
educational opportunity for the mil
lions. Would you get what you want,
—wealth, beauty, renown, health,
friends? For five dollars they will send
you an exact replica of Fortunatus’s
cap, easy to adjust; may be worn, dur
ing sleep, thus necessitating no de
tention from your regular business.
Would you become a convincing
talker and talk your way into the
presidency of your concern within the
week? A postal brings one of Demos
thenes’ pebbles; placed beneath the
tongue it wil raise your salary to
$7,500 a year; cheaper and quicker
than the now out-of-date Blarney
Stone. Are you efficient? Self-reli
ance is the basis of efficiency. Mail
this coupon and receive Emerson’s
course in self-reliance; the life-long
application of the principles here laid
down brought him an income of $50,
000 to $70,000; you may do even bet
ter. Does your memory fail you? Fol
low the simple directions worked out
by “Memory” Thompson (price five
dollars) and remember the contents
of every shqp windpw you ..pass, the
telephone numbed‘of every .man you
meet; you never can tell when this
information may be useful. Thus the
chorus; and a public, avid of self
improvement, pays its money and
passes into the side-shows in suffi
cient numbers, apparently, to keep
■the cry merry and full. Our modern
sophists will teach anything for a
price. The royal road even is no
longer sought; Socrates sits idly by,
and gains the ear of not a single one
of those who throng the democratic
speedway. Ancient universities anx
iously consider how they may trans
form theselves into sightseeing ve
hicles a little more sumptuously ap
pointed and doing the circular tour
of the n^ heaven and the new earth
with eve., greater despatch than can
be promised by the purveyors of cor
respondence courses. Such active bid
ding for an opportunity to afford light
must arise from some genuine desire
for it among large masses of men;
but if the leaders themselves are daz
zled into something like blindness
the aw'akening in the inevitable
ditch will be rude indeed.
MAINTAIN HIGH STANDARDS FOR
SCHOOLS
’ The agency par excellence for
Americanization is the public school.
It is the formative years that produce
the complex of ideas, ideal habitudes
and traditions which make the Ameri
can. Said a shrewd Roman priest:
“Give me the first six years of a
child’s life, and you others can have
the rest.” It is, therefore, in the high
est degree necessary, if the "melting
pot” is to turn out a consistent and
genuine product, that the public
school shall be kept up to the highest
possible level of excellence. But a
school, like a home, is not a geograph
ical location—a mere matter of lati
tude and longitude—nor yet is it the
mass of inorganic matter which we
fashion and pile up and call an “In
stitution.” It is an atmosphere. And,
as the atmosphere of the home is
generated by the < guiding personal!
ties in it, so is the atmosphere of the
school generated by those who super
vise and give instruction. If we want
good schools, the sine qua non is good
teachers. But the good teacher is a
specialist or an artist cpmparable
with the good doctor or preacher, and
cannot be picked up at any street
corner. He mtfst also possess char
actor, in addition to technical equip
ment He must havp quality, and
quality is something that must b«
paid for. The laborer of this order ii
certainly worthy of his hire. Tet th<
profession of teaching stands <
chance of progressive impoverish-j
ment by reason of inadequacy of its
material rewards. The teacher may be
willing, and generally is, to take the
vow of poverty; but he will not con
tinue always to take that of penury.
He can not give out the virtue that is
in him if he is never free from petty
and sordid harassment. If we are
anxious to Americanize—and there is
nothing that we should be more intent
on doing, in our own interest, if for
no loftier reason—we must not be
blind to this vital methods, must not
neglect it in favor of methods of more
Immediate impact but of less funda
mental and less comprehensive char
actre.
LOS ANGELES
IS LIKELY TO
WIN PENNANT
SAN FRANCISCO, June 28 (by As
sociated Press).—Followers of Pacific
coast baseball are wondering how
much of a runaway race the Los An
geles team is going to make of the
1919 pennant race. Earlier in the sea
son there were many intimations that
the Angels were “playing better than
they knew how” but the heavy lead
they have consistently maintained has
set the enthusiasts to wondering if,
after all, the Southern Californians
are. not the men who will have to be
beaten out for first place.
Up to the end of the second month
of. play ,the Angels had played eight
series with the loss of only one series.
This they lost to the S^n Franciscans.
Three of the series ended in ties.
Their lowest weekly percentage has
been .634, at the end of the sixth week
of play. No other club in the league
has been able to keep in the .600 divi
sion since the first couple of weeks
of the season. Twice only did San
Francisco reach it for a brief few
days.
Notwithstanding this, Los Angele's
has no more men in the .300 class- of
batters than any other team with the
exceptionof Salt Lake. Of" the regu
lars who have played in the majority
of games, those having a batting aver
age of .300 or better, were distributed
as follows at the enyd of the second
month oi play:
Salt Lake 5, Los Angeles, Oakland,
San Francisco,' Sacratnento» 3 each;
Vernon, Seattle, 2 each; Portland, 0.
Of these 111311 Salt Lake has the
leader in home runs scored. This is
Sheely, and no other player in the
league is within shouting distance of
him In the matter of four-baggers,

INDIAN WILL COMPETE
IN WHITE MARATHON
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., June 28
(by Associated Press).—The Ameri
can Indian will have an opportunity
to show what he is able to do in a
Marathon race against white athletes
during the mid-summer fiesta to be
held here* the first week in July.
Indians from the Sherman school will
be entered in the event and they will
have as opponents some of the best
of the Pacific coast long distance run
ners, including athletes of the Olym
pic club of San Francisco, and the
Los Angeles Athletic Club. The dis
tance will be ten miles.
Eagle dance at Eagle hall tonight.

I “And my
GOODRICH Shoes |
outwore Six pairs of his”
He is an old timer—been in Alaska for 21
) years—and just back in the States. He
i was visiting the Goodrich Factory and we
asked him, of course, if he ever used our
f Goodrich “Hi-Press” Boots and Shoes
while he was up there, and he said—
“Say, those are some shoes you people make.
Why, I remember one time when my part
ner and I went over the hills and I wore a
pair of your Goodrich White Pacs. He
> didn’t! And he wore out six pairs before
we got back—I still wore my first pair.’’
j There’s the result of making Goodrich
Rubber Footwear the new way,—IN ONE
j SINGLE PIECE—rubber tough as steel
no leaking, no peeling, no half-soling. And
» they’re comfortable—feel like old shoes
| before you’ve worn them 24 hours.
t We make all kinds,—shoes, boots, shorts
and hip, for mining, fishing, logging, pros
pecting etc. They always have “The Red
, Line ’Round The Top.”
