EDUCATION WEEK
A Nation-Wide Revival of Educatioi
Enthusiasm Will Take Place
During the First Week of
the Coming Month
Two years ago Dr. P. P. Claxton
' former commissioner of educatioi
instituted the observance of the firs
week in December as “Educatioi
Week.” The American Legion las
year became interested in the per
petuation of such a week and tool
the initative in inviting the Na
tional Education Association an<
other organizations to co-operate ii
the observance of the “America!
Education Week.” This year th<
United States Bureau of Educatioi
is co-operating with the Americai
Legion and the National Educatioi
Association in inviting every Ameri
can organization, club, church
school, newspaper, magazine, thea
tre and individual and bodies ol
every description to participate ir
making the week, December 3-9, i
real nation-wide revival of educa
tional enthusiasm.
The American Commission of the
American Legion called upon the
commissioner of education to invite
President Harding to issue a procla
mation for the observance of this
week. The president has given as
surance of his desire and willingness
to do this.
The bureau of education has ar
ranged with the interdepartment
advisory committee on government
radio broadcasting to use the gov
ernment’s broadcasting stations
twice a day throughout the week
for the promulgation of educational
radio material in connection with
the week’s campaign.
The commissioner of education
called upon Will H. Hays, president
of the Motion Picture Producers
and Distributors of America to dis
cover to what extent the motion
picture houses of America would
co-operate. Mr. Hays was very
generous and enthusiastic and has
definitely arranged for the working
out of a program in which the facili
ties of the motion picture houses
may be used effectively during
American Education Week.
All governors, mayors, and others
in places of executive authority are
expected and invited to issue procla
mations and otherwise promote
general observance of this great
movement in behalf of education.
The newspapers and press generally
have been invited to issue special
educational editions if possible, and
f this is not possible to emphasize
education during these days by
editorials, special articles, and in
such other ways as they find pos
sible.
It seemed wise, in order that the
campaign might be concentrated
upon phases of education which are
of outstanding significance to desig
nate certain days on which topics
should be stressed. These days are
as follows: Sunday, December 3,
God and Country; Monday, Decem
ber 4, American Citizenship; Tues
day, December 5, Patriotism;
Wednesday, December 6, School
and Teacher; Thursday, December
7, Illiteracy; Friday, December 8,
Equality *of Opportunity; and Sat
urday, December 9, Physical Edu
cation and Hygiene. These topics
have been selected because they are
considered to be matters of na
tional importance and desirable
throughout the country. It is sug
gested that these topics should not
preclude the various states from
emphasizing those features of edu
cation which need to be emphasized
at this time in their respective
states, nor should they prevent cities
and localities from pushing their
individual needs.
It hardly seems necessary to urge
upon the schools and those respon
sible for the administration and in
struction in the schools that it is
expected that all will join in the
general observance of promoting
education during American Educa
tion Week to the utmost extent of
their abilities. Programs can be
effectively arranged throughout all
of our schools which will materially
enhance the value of this general
effort.
At the time of the present writ
ing a very lafge number of state
superintendents and state commis
sioners of education have responded
enthusiastically in endorsing the ob
servance of American Education
Week and none has expressed op
position or indifference. The unity
of effort and interest which has al
ready been displayed is but an
earnest and evidence that this bids
fair to be the greatest campaign
for education that has ever been
made in the United States.

FAMOUS UNCLES IN FICTION
Up to About Thirty Years Ago Mrs.
Stowe’s Hero Might Be Said
to Be Favorite.
Who Is the most famous uncle In
literature? Thirty years ago only one
answer could have been given. It
would have been “Uncle Tom,” who
dwelt In the world-renowned “cabin,”
and V'hose sufferings did much to
linsten the emancipation of ills fellow
doves, London Answers states. He
was only an "uncle” by courtesy, Just
us many an old woman is addressed
as “granny" who has no other claim
to that title except age.
Almost us well known today Is an
other “uncle by courtesy,” also a ne
gro. This Is the Immortal "Uncle
Uemus," whom Joel Chandler Harris
depicts so Inimltubly as relating to
ti little white boy the fanciful doings
of Ilrer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer Tar
rapln and Brer B'ar. Uncle Itemus
la a universal favorite, and all tbe
children ure bis nephews and nieces.
Probably the most humorous uncle
In literature Is that Uncle I’odger who
bangs a picture In J. K. Jerome's
“Three Men In a Boat;" whilst un
doubted l^the most saturnine Is Uncle
Ralph Nmkleby, in Dickens’ muster
piece, and tbe most horrible that*
frightful old miser uncle of Duvld
Balfour, in Hubert Louis Stevenson’s
"Kidnaped."
Tbe creator of Sherlock Holmes has
a very attractive uncle In tbe best
of bis French novels, “Uncle Beruuc,"
and those who ure above military
age will recall the long-suffering
“Uncle Harry,” who endured a week's
misery with “Budge and Toddy," In
that once world-read book, “Ueleu's
Babies.”

WINTER PRECAUTION
t
Now is the time to see that your battery is in
shape for winter. Unless your battery contains
proper solution and is properly charged, the first
freeze is liable to ruin it, necessitating purchase of
a new battery.
To have your battery properly cared for now
will cost $1.50 to $2.00.
For those who store their cars for the winter
months we have a storage room for batteries that
is kept heated 24 hours a day.
Protect your battery. It is better to be safe
than sorry.
WINNEMUCCA GARAGE .
.—— i
THE POLICY OF THE UNION PACIFIC
IN NEVADA
General Manager H. V. Platt, of the Oregon
Short Line, under date of October 20th, 1922, has
this to say regarding the policy of the Union Pa
cific System in the matter of irrigation and develop
ment of the productive lands in the State of Ne
vada in the event the Central Pacific were grouped
with the Union Pacific:
“On October 19th, I took this matter up with
President C. R. Gray, of the Union Pacific System,
as follows:
“ ‘Quite an interest in Nevada is centered on
what the policy of the Union Pacific will be with
reference to irrigation and development of produc- *
tive lands in that State in event Central Pacific
were grouped with Union Pacific. Are we autho
rized to say that same active plan of development
and irrigation will be pushed in a co-operative
way as has characterized development in other
similar sections by Union Pacific Lines.’
“And on the same date received his reply, j
which I quote for your information:
“ ‘The Union Pacific has carried out a consist
ent policy of construction to benefit irrigated and
productive lands in Idaho and Utah. Has just
made extension of Homedale Branch in Idaho, con
structed line to Fillmore, and is preparing to con- ;
struct line to Cedar City. It has recently completed
forty mile extension to serve irrigated lands in S
Nebraska and'Wyoming. Its policy has been con
sistently to aid in the development of its territory
and the same policy would be pushed in a co-opera
tive way on Central Pacific Lines if latter are ac
quired by this company.’ •
“In our conversation the last time you were in I
Salt Lake, I told you I thought it was fortunate that
so many of the officers of the Union Pacific System ,
are western men and understand the possibilities
of western development and know a piece of sage
brush when they see it, and the bigger the sage the
better the land. In.other words, few people can
either realize or appreciate the possibilities of a
barren stretch of country unless they know from j
first hand experience and observation the produc
tive possibilities in connection with irrigation. We
are officered with that type of men and, as you
know, our agricultural and colonization depart
ments are paving the way for development in every
section of the country served by our rails.
“The development of the southern and central
part of Idaho stands as a monument to co-opera
tive reclamation work, and as far as Oregon Short
Line policy went with no thought of railroad com
petition as an inducement or prod to its share in
the development. You can get a better idea of
what I refer to by refering to a map of Idaho,
which shows in the upper Snake River country, in
the Twin Falls District, and in the Boise, Nampe,
Payette and Weiser sections that the country has
been developed by the construction of branch lines
with a view to reducing the wagon haul by farmers
to a reasonable distance to reach loading points.
We know that farmers cannot work their stock in
the spring, summer and fall without giving them
some rest in the winter, and that hauling stuff 25 or
30 miles to a shipping point is a handicap against
settlers and developers, not only in the matter of
time and money but as well in actual competition
with market conditions.”
