We often 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.
