W EAD The old saying “ A prophet is not without honor save in his own country” does not apply to County Auditor Ralph O. Wead i f the reception tendered him Monday evening by Yellow Springs citizens is a criterion, Mr. W ead has been named Deputy State Auditor after serving about nine years as auditor o f Greene County, and his former fellow citizens did him great honor with-a public reception in the school auditorium. How Mr, W ead stands in the estimation of his home folks is how he is looked upon as a private citizen and public official by the rest o f the county. It is indeed with regret that the coun­ ty is to loose his service, a service ranked as one of the highest o f any county auditor in the state. It was this same loyal and faithful service that brot him his position with the state, such appointments frequently being political, but not so with Mr. Wead. • • The new position means recognition of ability and merited advancement and as Banker P. M. Stewart remarked that even­ ing, the loss that would fa ll to Yellow Springs and the county would be the state’s gain. Mr. W ead has had an honored career in public school work and as county auditor.. His loyalty has never been questioned when se -ving the public and that loyalty never used for per­ sonal or selfish gain. W ha t he has been to Greene county is what can be expected of him in the service of the state and we have reason to believe as the state knows him his service will be re­ warded with higher honor. W E T A L K A B O U T IT BU T DO NO TH ING Press reports indicate that sentiment.is growing fast against the unusual speculation in stocks on W a ll street. A ll financial institutions are feeling keenly the tight money market due to hundreds of millions that have found a resting place in the . greatest money market in the world, and a large part of which will never be returned to the source from which it came. The stock market may have a proper place in our financial and business affairs of the nation but like everything else when the speculative-end takes on the gambling feature to the detri­ ment of business in general, then the public has a perfe<' right to demand protection and the evil curbed. Gambling.has as great a hold on this country as it did in the days of the legalized lottery. It is to be found everywhere and in every community in some, form or another. There are many forms-of it that may not be dangerous to those who en­ gage in it .more for pastime than for profit. This cannot be stopped and probably never will be but gambling on the larger scale when it hurts business must be checked. Mark Twain once said : “ W e talk a lot about the weather but no one seems to do anything about it. This aptly applies to the gambling situation at present. Certain forms of gambling are attacked but other kinds go by uh-noticed, largely due to the effect that too great a distrubance against a, menace would disrupt political conditions. CONGRESS MEMBERSHIP TO BE ENLARGED Along with a bill authorizing a new census Congress has passed a reapproptionment measure which will reduce the membership of, the House in certain states and reduce it in others. It so happens of course that the more populous con­ gressional districts will gain the membership. From the viewpoint of service for the people the entire membership o f the House should be reduced. ‘ The body is en­ tirely too large and almost beyond control. The citizenship does not profit by havxhg such large legislative bodies. .Not only will the-, city districts gain in Congressional strength but also have greater representation in the electoral votes. The rural districts have suffered the loss. It happens that this same principal of government control is about to be an issue in Ohio. Senator George H. Bender has proposed a change in the constitution to reduce rural represent­ atives in the state legislature and increase the number in the city districts. Much turmoil is being raised over this plan but little do we hear Of critizism of the same kind of change in government at Washington. I f Washington legislatures are right in method Bender stands in'the right. If Bender is wrong then Congress has enacted a bill against the desires of the rural people. . Big things go on nowadays and we can hardly keep track of the doings of legislative bodies. The worst is that before the public is fully aware o f what is taking place the dirty work is accomplished. No single track mind can absorb what is handed him under the ^nodern way of handling legislation. WH ICH W A Y IS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM DRIFTING ? There is one important movement in this country that has reached a dictatorial position without the knowledge of a very large per cent of the people. W e have been much absorbed in public questions that have to do with the morals of the people. W e have debated ‘financial and economic problems and what is best to bring relief to agriculture. W e have campaigns for social service work in the cities and counties and we have an interest in the progress of schools. But with all this how many people have given consideration to making higher education as easy as possible to obtain for high school graduates? While we have been absorbed in issues ■mentioned the powers of the educational world have taken advantage of their position and set new standards for colleges, whether such .are possible to obtain or not. The trend has been to make the going of the smaller college impossible and force students into the larger universities. It has been contended, in many quarters that we have had for years an over supply of education and for that reason the ranks of industrial employment have suffered. Under the new rule the smallest college to be recognized by the association of colleges must have an endowment of half & million. It must have a stated number of professors at a cer * tain minimum salary. Each professor must have credentials from one o f twenty-five universities in the United States. De­ grees from other institutions Will not be recognized. The peculiar thing about the requirement for professors is that of the twenty-five universities only four of them are known as Christian Institutions. O f the four all are said to lean to the modern belief. W e are riot critical of the new ruling, From an educational standpoint it might have excellent advantages but there is grave danger of an educational union that can crush at will all other institutions. It has been hinted in higher educational circles that the day o f the denominational college has about past. The new rule will close the doors of most of them for it is doubtful i f the church membership can finance institutions on that scale, It has always been the idea of our forefathers that educa­ tion should be as easy to obtain as possible and at a cost within the range of ordinary citizens. The new rule adds greatly to the cost and probably puts a college education beyond the reach %of many worthy boys and girls. While we have been thinking of other matters we cannot afford to neglect the educational situation. It will have more to do in the future with holding certain standards of living than anything. Barents face a grave situation and should look to­ ward a plan that will enable the smaller college to continue to function.

I HVI NQ KI NQ INITIALS AND RICHES I T IS u very common saying that If the Initials of a person’s name spell u word, the fact signifies that the per­ son aforesaid will become rich. This superstition Is o survival of h very old form of divination—one which was In much favor among the Ro­ mans. It Is a form of that ancient art of divination by name called no- mnn.cy; and nmnaney is based upon ffio t ■ con cen tlfm o f ni-lnittiui mun which regarded a emse Intimacy a existing between a man and his name. It exists today among most tribes liv­ ing in a primitive state.
