I( It Over

Most arguments that people in- dulge in are the kind that can never be settled. We suppose that is one of the requisites for contro- versial subjects, for when indis- putable proof is furnished. there is no further room for argument. Many of these argument: mntro around comparisons of the present with the past. and rose-colored glasses play an important part.

pould Jack Dempsey have beaten Joe Louis? Are present day school

students as well taught as in grandma": day? And son and so to settle such

forth. Impossible questions at these. No doubt if re- sults were not so tangible and de-

finite. the old guard would put up some cogent arguments that the scythe did more work in a day than the binder. The question of whether phonetics or word recog- nition or a combination of both is a better means of teiwhing chil- dren tn read is somewhat different however. We can't see why this be put to the test. Why couldn't some school with a flair for experiment use primary classrooms as guinea pigs, making all other factors equal as far as

couldn't reall

that is possible? . .

Commcrcializing the Christmas cause children to raise eyebrows occasionally. but you must admit it makes for a more colorful. gay and exciting Yuletide season. Beautiful window crowds of shoppers ex- changing Christmas greetings. and most important of all. the placing or the accent on giving brightens up the melancholy days of late fall and early winter with a grand if a bit expensive, aura of cheer. We hope our readers have enjoyed it all, and that a Merry Christmas and a Happy New um provide a satisfactory

POTATO MATTERS

The release of estimates for potato holdings in the United States earlier this week was cause for some further uneasiness on the part of those who grow and handle the crop. On November ist the American crop h ban estimated at roughly 341 ml ion bushels, De- cember lst's estimate hiked this figure to 355 millions. I figure 25 million below the final estimate for 1953. The release of the foregoing information has had the effect of weakening the market and slowing up demand. '
