Saturday the Lisbon Independ- . ........
cnucKleu as we no~ea tne explana-
ent School l)istrict will dedicate
the new addition to the school
l)uilding which has been under con-
struction since last fall.
The new ,building contains a
much needed additional class room,
an excellent gymnasium, with a
modern stage which converts the
gym into an auditorium, and clean
modern dressing rooms for boy's
tion and defense of acts by Demo-
crats written by the elder Mr. Cash
before his death and recalled his
critical editorials during the Hoov-
er administration. He was always
a temperate writer, and gentleman
in his political editorials.
The modern theory ts to run an
independent newspaper with the
main policy being to keep out of
and girls, any controversy which might affect
In addition four rooms are pro- the box office income. That policy
vided for the new Smith-Hughes
departmeot which is being added to
the Lisbon schools this fall for the I
first time. There is an agriculture
class room, agriculture shop and
holne economics sewing room and
kitchen. These rooms and the
equipment for them complies with
the strict specifications of the
Smith-Hughes act, which provides
federal funds for schools which
meet the requirements of the
Smith-Hughes act.
Including in the Smiti~-Hughes
program are classes for adults, both
young and middle age, in both
agriculture and tlonte making.
The adoption of this program is
a big step forward for the Lisbon
schools. The enlarged program,
with the new building and excellent
equipment, give Lisbon a school
of which everyone can be very
l)roud.
In this day of modern living a
sound education is of increasing
importance to young people in
helping them to adjust themselves
to the complicated forces they will
meet in modern life. In days gone
i)y it seems that more of the sound
principles of living were taught by
the parents or by the necessities of
pioneer life than are so taught to-
,lay. An increasing amount of
training of youth is being constant-
ly placed In schools. A conrpetent
school faculty with good equipment
and a good building is in a good
position to do this job in a ,better
manner.
The Lisbon Board of Education,
School Superintendent, Lloyd N.
Rahn, the Lisbon faculty and taw
payers are to be congratulated on
the advancement made in improv-
ing the Lisbon school system dur'-
ing the last 12 months.
Time Is Ripe For Some
Sensible Liberal Leadership
In the struggle in congress dur-
ing the closing days, which has
seen some real crimps put in the
new deal program, it is gratifying
to note that some of the new lead-
ers which have developed are not
extremists. Joe 'Martin of Massa-
chusetts in the house and Senator
Austin, of Vermont, in the Senate,
are two Rel~ublican legislators who
have become well known. Neither
is an extremist. Senator Austin has
supported the president on foreign
policy including the sale of planes
to Frances and in advocating the
ultimate removal of the arms em-
bargo from the present Neutrality
Law.
The time is ripe for some suc-
cessful middle-of-the road leaders
who are not hide bound conserva-
tives nor the impractical theorists
of the left. The next election will
show a tendency in that direction
if we do not miss our guess.
PURE POIATICAL PIFFLE
Men in political office give out
many statements and it is probably
expecting too much to have all of
them consistent and logical.
Some of them are intended large-
ly for emotional consumption on
the part of voters and have little
fact merit.
A recent statement by Ed Bir-
m ingham, I)emocratie chairman,
about Mel Curtis, chairman of the
Iowa Liquor Control Commission
wa.s ridiculous to anyone who knew
tt~e facts.
Curtis was until he became Li-
quor Commission chairman, editor
and major owner of the Knoxville
Journal. He announced his re-
tirement from active work on the
paper when he became chairman,
although he retained his stock in
the company. Fred Beckman, for-
mer head of the journalism de-
partment at Iowa State College, be-
came cditor of the Journal. In his
does not hold a strong appeal for
us. We feel that most subscribers
would rather have an editorial
writer state his honest opinions in
a fair way, even though they nlay
not agree with him, than to write
only editorials on the aurora bur-
calls, or solne other harmless sub-
ject.
