Show THE CITIZEN Our entire educational system is tending toward producing professional classes, with almost no relation to industry and production. Secretary Davis, speaking before the National Society for Vocational Education, said it was a mistake to turn out 90 per cent of the young people equipped only for white collar occupations. As a matter of fact in almost any community, by actual count, only 10 per cent of the jobs are the white collar class. Mr. Davis, himself a product of the workshop, warns us that our country can not be kept in the lead as an industrial nation under this system. Labor organizations shutting young men out from learning trades ; and schools and colleges turning out nine professionals when only one is needed, will not maintain our hold upon the trade of the world. Our country will have to learn the lesson once more that labor and productive industry are the foundation of prosperity and our boys and girls must be made to realize that it is not undignified to toil with ones hands.

Ut Seldom has the country witnessed such universal approval of a tax reduction program as accorded Secretary Mellons proposal. This is probably due to the fact that the usual talk about tax reduction is confined to glittering generalities which will not embarass a political candidate or public official with hard cold facts which must be substantiated. Secretary Mellon has given the people the figures from which they can draw their own conclusions. Instead of sidestepping the issue, President Coolidge is outspoken in favor of the Mellon plan. This has been a severe blow to political leaders who would have hy of ; canal: HARRIM AN WAS RIGHT. dodged the issue and delayed action until after the conimg election.
