THE HOOT FOR 1924 -fx S QX i-, Nineteen hundred and twenty-four! Time Nl SJW surely flies, but oh, what trace it leaves X A I behind. U , ' -' As time sweeps along, this democracy of i -:gfj ' 7 ours expands in populations and wealth: and -T- , , ,, manifolds in economic and social complex- fg ii ities at an incredible speed. X L. jlqfjfg I In Etkropehrtimarkabli chgmgles which are ' .V,, f,iQf,jf 4 atering t e w oe out oo o t at continent, ba 'i if 4 ' happen daily. These changes, however, do 'L -,112 , '-'f', T , not take place smoothly but are the result li Q' fa ' 'QU of many complicated controversies. 5-- ,t ' This year of all years has and is exert- ... N ,f ing tremendous forces which will influence the trend of history in the making. In America the women are exercising , f I their franchise for the second time. All are C L looking on with interest at the approaching , presidential election, May the women use the ballot wisely and firmlyg and well. One of the vitally important events in America was the disclosure of the Tea- pot l'Jome scandal. This has brought to the mind of the American public the dan- gers of invisible government and the necessity for public and private education along lines of higher moral standing. The prosecution of this scandal has led to many other investigations at Washington, which will tend to make future administrations cleaner and more upright. For better or worse we have adopted the new Nordic Immigration Policy. This new bill which will go into effect July I, permits the entrance of only 26 of the foreign-born population of this country in ISQO. This means that 75W of our immi- gration will hereafter come from northeastern Europe from whom many of us owe our origin. Steps have been taken looking toward relief from overburdening taxation and the resumption of normal times. February 3 of this year witnessed one of the saddest tragedies, the death of ex-president VVilson. There is no other figure in history as conspicuous as his in the events of that time which closed one period in the history of mankind. and opened another. His principles and high idealism have spread to the uttermost parts of the world. Mr. Wilson is the father of the great international agency for peace. In spite of the fact that America did not support him, the league has worked four successful years along humanitarian lines for the eradication of world-wide evils. The Dawes committee has finally submitted what may be the solution of the reparation tang'e and much is to be expected from an application of this particular plan. It is probably the most constructive development looking toward the settle- ment of European affairs that has been offered. England with its king and nobility, is now administered by a Labor government. The world is greatly interested in Labor's foreign policy. It will watch eagerly the working out of I.abor's Hrst opportunity to help mold the policy of Britain. So we see that we are living in a time of rapid change. lt is up to the rising generations to adapt themselves to these changes, and see that they will be helpful instead of dangerous. VVe. the school children of America. who are given the wonderful opportunity of a free education and who are in a state of preparation for taking a useful part in a democracy must devote our interests toward forever preserving and improving the democratic institutions for which our government stands. We will realize a social democracv when all the members of which it is made up arf' educated up to and assume those responsibilities which are necessary for its existence. Page Ten
