NEED OF CHILDREN TO BE EN-
OOURAGED TO THINK OF
CIVIC AFFAIRS APPARENT.
Survey Shows Average Youngster Spends Less Than Six Years Of Life In School. Influence Of Press Saves Nation From Intellectual Inertia.
(Continued from Page 1)
child will attend a total of 1,075.9 days, or an equivalent of 5.3 9 years of 299 actual school days each.
At the age of 5 the complete expectation of life, as shown by the United States Life Tables, is 56.21 years of 365 days each. The "average" child as shown above attends school after this age only 1,075.9 days, or an equivalent of 2.95 years of 365 days each. By comparing these figures it is found that this "average" child attends school only one-nineteenth of his life, subsequent to his fifth birthday. In other words only 1 day in 19 is spent in scholastic preparation for life.
A relatively small percentage of Negro children -attends school. At the age of 11, when the largest percentage attends only 72.7 per cent, are enrolled in school. After the children pass the age of 14 the rate of decrease in the percentage attending school becomes very pronounced. This is the age when most compulsory attendance laws cease to aper-ate effectively, and the result is clearly in evidence in this figure. Only 22.6 per cent, of the children 18 years of age are to be found in school. Among our foreign-born white population, the school mortality is very rapid after the age of 13, indicating that fewer such children enroll in upper grades and high school. At the age of 18 only 6.8 per cent, of the foreign-b^n white children are to be f' .a school.
.Despite these ast .iing figures, the over-crowded condition of schools today show the need of limiting the number of students. The press of the country is making every effort to enlarge and liberalize the understanding of the citizens. It is a necessary adjunct to the school system and is often the only source of enlightenment for large numbers of people.
The press has always been recognized as the teacher of the entire public. Without it the spirit of nationalism would be quickly extinguished for the intelligence conveyed by the newspapers and magazines has much to do with the formation of national character. Study of school and college mortality shows that the newspapers and magazines must take up the task of educating the people where the schools leave off. Their great effect is in the interchange of ideas. A nationally known educator has very aptly said: "The cities will read anyway; there are many educational opportunities in the cities anyway; but the small towns and rural districts depend to a large extent on newspapers and magazines.'"
The nation of tomorrow depends upon the children of today. Beyond the education given in public schools must come acquirement of the knowledge of how to do things—that is the basis of material prosperity; and the knowledge of how to think— which is the basis of culture. A small percentage of our population obtains this additional knowledge in universities; another small percentage absorbs it from personal experience, but the great majority of us must get it by reading educational newspapers and periodicals. These publications are widening the scope of their service and the average newspaper of today conducts a school room in its special columns of questions and answers. The influence of the press cannot be measured in terms of dollars and cents. It is an integral part of our national life which still languishes under wartime taxation—six years after the war is ended.

BELAIR EDITOR PASSES UP REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR CONGRESS.
John A. Robinson, Belair editor, will not seek the Republican nomination for Congress in the ' Second district, his friends have learned. This leaves the field in that district clear, to date, for Lloyd E. Wilkinson, who filed notice of his candidacy last week, with little probability that any other candidate will appear.
Representative Millard E. Tydings is the only Democrat so far announc ed in the race.

MUNSEY BUILDING
Fire of uncertain origin broke out in the barn in the rear of Caton avenue, Catonsville, and burned 150 chickens to death. Rare drugs valued at $5000, also were destroyed.
Peter Vietsch, who uses the barn as a storeroom for drugs employed in the manufacture of patent medicines, seized a broom and brushed burning feathers from a small number of chickens, saving their lives. Vietsch said he did not have any insurance.
STORIES OF THE BIBLE.
The Building Of King Solomon's Temple.
Tire story of the preparation for the building of King Solo-mon"s temple in that remote period sounds in some respects like the preparatory work for the building of a great building today. During the reign of David he was unable to build a house to,the Lord because of the numerous wars in which he was engaged.
So when Solomon succeeded him he determined to build a Temple to the Lord and he sent for Hiram, King of Tyre, to come to see him, and he told him what he wanted to do and solicited his assistance.. . He told Hiram that there were none with skill to hew timber like his subjects, the Sidonians, and he asked him to hew cedar trees out of Lebanon.. . So Hi-rain gladly consented to help him and said he would have the timber hewn and convey them to the temple by sea in floats. So Solomon gave him 20,000 measures of wheat and 20 measures of pure oil for his household annually. And then Solomon sent 10,000 men a month to Lebanon to work with Hirams men, who were bearers of burden and hewers in the mountains, and they also hewed
stones to lay the foundations of the temple—so that the lumber and stone were all made ready for the builder's use in Lebanon. Solomon then sent to Tyre for Hiram to come to him—this was another Hiram. He was a widow's son of the tribe of Napthali, a worker in brass. He was said to be "filled with wisdom and understanding and cunning to work all works in brass." He was wanted to work on the brass for the orna" mentation of the building and he made the immense pillars of brass, the net and chain work and lily work, besides all the elaborate interior .decorations of brass, and so the temple was finally completed, and so carefully and skillfully were the timbers and stone prepared before it was brought to the temple "that there was neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in the house while it was in building."

I/AOK OF GOOD RUM WORRIES PHYSICIANS.
CALVERT and FAYETTE STS. - BALTIMORE
Good imported whiskies and liquor seized on inbound freighters are becoming so scarce that Baltimore county doctors are beginning to worry over the source of their next supply.
In a large room on the fourth floor of the Custom House, where all liquors seized by customs agents are kept, the stock is rapidly diminishing. There is not enough good liquor to supply the demands of doctors and hospitals who prefer foreign liquors. There is no Scotch whiskey. All the good wines and champagne have gone to meet the needs of the medical profession.
All that is left are a few scattered bottles of Holland and Gordon gin, brandy and several bottles of rum, mostly from Jamaica. There are also 218 bottles of benectine of good quality, seized from an Italian steamer.
On January 1, more than 5000 bottles of "good stuff," all imported, were stored under close guard.
