findeth wisdom and the man that get-tet- h understanding for the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver and the gain thereof than fine gold” "Incline thine ear unto wisdom and apply thine heart to understanding when wisdom entereth into thine heart and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul discretion shall preserve thee understanding shall keep thee” fhuS did Solomon the wisest and wealthiest king of his time compare mental riches with material riches He had both and knew whereof he spake Just what is meant by wisdom that he held more valuable than gold and gems? knowledge a store Jltis defined to be a superlative degree ef information combined with ability to make the best use of it Information consists of impressions and ideas acquired in the development of natural powers Systematic cultivation thereof is called education which begins in the cradle and ends in the grave It is obtained through instruction training example and experience 'From experience one may learn without guidance or access to the accumulated wisdom ot the past Instruction may depend on the efforts of parents or tutors in the homes or teachers in the schools - The acquisition of knowledge continues through life--- “ Knowledge the ainTof all inquiring minds is intelligent perception of truths rational appreciation of facts accurate information on any subject Knowledge is the harvest' yield of eel ucation During the current week an army of youth will march forth from the sheltered barracks of drill and discipline to take part in the battles oflife From the state universitis the colleges the seminaries the high schools and other institutions graduates will issue in platoons and companies ostensibly equipped to meet opposition that contests the road to success Some will possess intellectual energy others personal ambition many will have definite objectives and gome will face a heedless heartless world with nothing but their diplomas This emergence from

struggle than plodders who barely get by unless the course of instruction has inof personal cluded the development of character of responsibility of citizenship with its manifold duties and obligations There was a time when memory alone was cultivated and the mind that retained the most precepts or followed recorded precedents was the standard of intellectual excellence Independent thinking was heresy and thinkers were persecuted Science was viewed with suspicion and religion wore a frown of general disapproval Scholars as a rule were ignorant of anything outside of their books And books contained nothing except that which was understood and approved by ignorant censors Those days are gone forever The purpose of education in this era and in this country is to realm of possteach unfolding mentalities to think to explore ibilities to reason and correctly evaluate the importance of current events Parents and teachers cannot ignore the fact that children of the present have access to daily newspapers to periodicals and to entertainments that portray conditions or present problems that were kept hidden in cedar chests of prudery and propriety a century ago Education

experience of the one attempting to' reply In this age of progress and opportunity ignorance is a crime that carries its own punishment The penalty is ea degree of serviisolation in the tude of discomfort of blundering of resentment midst of multitudes Nor have we succeeded in climbing all the walls or discarding all the chains in our efforts to escape the prison intolerance on Our ankles

wholly indemoney pendent of the banks and the investing public and in position still further to extend our "social frontiers” without regard to cost If-- more money IF needed it is avery simple matter to obtain it by slightly raising the yer-employe percentage of payments In brief It is held that the social “security act contains the most ingenious financial device of all time a means by which the government can finance itself adequately and indefinitely pouring out billions of money with one hand taking even more billions In with the other and Keeping everybody happy all the while Viewing things from this angle the more advanced thinkers in administration circles find It difficult to restrain their enthusiasm They believe their ultimate goal is in sight— almost In hand — to wit: a wholly regulated country with all governmental operations adequately and automatically financed a state of affairs in which the word "budget” - will become the forgotten word and the word "economy” will be regarded as The Public Forum emplo- Social Order Changes Held as Historical Just Enough Truth The trouble is that like the Townsend plan some of Mr Upton Sinclair’s schemes and all other such financial fantasies there is just enough truth in these arguments to make them plausibly dangerous For example it is certainly true that the law In full operation will bring in more than a billion a year and In the course of years the gigantic total of forty-thre- e billions will have been reached It however Is disshare-the-weai- th tinctly not true that this money no matter how much in excess of the demands can be used for operating expenses or can affect the budget situation— that is unless the government deliberately cheats The money goes into the treasury and is earmarked for the specific purpose of the law end can be used for nothing else Further the law compels the government to invest every dollar of thia huge fund In government securities at 3 per cent These restrictions make absurd the idea that immediately the money comes in government insolvency is changed to solvency The only way in which such an argument can be reconciled with reason is to believe that it is the purpose of the government to disregard the law and cheat by using the money anyhow Past Events Recalled To Defend Social Changes Editor Tribune: Mr Morrison of Delta thinks that what ails Ameripa is

plausible argument to cover its inherently unsound features However no matter how strongly they may favor the very laudable purposes of the pet there is almost unanimous agreement among thoughtful men that unless its financial sections are amended there will one day come a blowup in the governmental finances that will'scatter pieces of the treasury to the four quarters of the country — with damage

Guard U By Our Readers Forum Rules Editor Tribune: Among the falsest words ever published are those used in a quotation by a Forum writer: "A common symptom of an inferiority complex or of personal failure la the desire to change the social order” The truth is that those who have had the desire to change have In the main been the spiritual philosophers —the prophets the seers the poets of the ages— and were it not for them and the glorious pages they have ’written Into history most of vts would still be in the cave man state of being A band of slaves coming out of Egypt asked for a change and eventually got it in a civilization which produced the ancient prophets and the Bible and the lineage out of which came the intellectuals of The Christ Greece asked for a change which resulted in the Age of Pericles where human Intellect reached the loftiest heights ever attained Jesus Christ demanded a complete change of the social order and humanity will yet flower into that change Elizabeth Fry asked for a change In thq hell of prison life and created better conditions Florence Nightingale demanded humanness and mercy on the battlefields and It was granted through the Institution of the Red Cross Washington demanded a New Order of the Ages and wrought it with his sword Abraham Lincoln demanded a change In the social order and abolished slavery The names of those who have demanded change and who have been instumental in blessing the race are legion They have been the truth givers the torch bearers the angels of light the watchmen on the towers C N LUND silly If it is honestly administered this great sum now flowing into the treasury will not affect the basic questibns of governmental finance in any way It will not obviate the necessity for economy or restore national financial equilibrium jrremov-4- h danger of Inflation On the contrary all these things will be accentuated because the existence of so great a sum will be an overwhelming temptation' to on the part of the administration and recklessness on the part of congress It is true that this law greatly relieves the credit situation of the government and It Is easy to understand why Mr Morgenthau should be pleased ‘He no longer has to worry over the fate of issues It does governmental make the government independent of the banks It has a great new market in which apparently it can finance itself indefinitely Ultimately all outstanding government bonds and securities will have been absorbed by this fund If it continues to pour in the government will’ haveto1to issue more bonds in which invest It Will have to’ print and issue bonds very fast Indeed to keep pace with the incoming stream In the' end 'of course this would break the government because it is inflation of the The state which is
