The topic this year is the psychological effect of ar- mament. In full the topic is: “What is the psychological effect on the national mind of great armed forces maintained ostensibly for national defense?” This is in accordance with the es- tablished policy of the Foundation adhering strictly to fundamental causes that create war or peace. During the five years which the Foundation has just completed, there nature of the essay topics, which may has been a definite sequence in the be recalled by a review of the recent subjects. ] Last year’s essay topic on which ap- proximately 40,000 boys and girls throughout the entire country were engaged in writing essays was bio- logical in its implications: “As the white population of the United States’ of America and the British Commonwealth of Nations has in- creased in the. past century from 20,000,000 to 170,000,000, in how far will the continued growth of popu- lation and the diminishing food supply affect the future relations be- tween these two peoples, and to what extent will it affect their relations to other nations?” Last year’s topic of an increased world population and its affect on the future relations of the great nations was more difficult than any of the earlier essay subjects, espec- ially for secondary school students. However, the unusually great num- bers of students whow rote essays proved that the subject was of inter- est. In 1928, two seperate essay con- tests were held, one for the stu- dents of schools already members. The other was open to secondary schools throughout the country, which were competing for twenty- seven memberships donated to the Foundation. Lake Township High School was awarded one of the mem- berships. This year the juniors and seniors are searching diligently in our school library, as well as in Wilkes-Barre Library and State Libraries for ma- terial which will help in writing this essay. And hope to have among their number, one who will win a prize this year.

PUBLIC SCHOOL STANDARD RAISED BY COUNTY / SUPERINTENDENT COPE It was a well merited testimonial the school directors of Luz- erne County paid Superintendent A. P. Cope in their annual con- vention held in Wilkes-Barre last week. - Singularly appropriate were the resolutions adopted praising his work and broad vision. School directors in this vicinity have been notoriously active in building and holding political regimes, rather than educational systems. | When Professor Cope first confided to some of his friends his determination to comb the country for specialists he was remind- ed the community was not ripe for such total disregard for polit- ical expediency. The new county superintendent’s attention was called to the fact that an educator in Boston, or one in the Middle West carried no Luzerne County election precincts in their hand- grips. But Professor Cope’s faith in the rank and file of Luzerne’s school directors was not shaken. He believed the standard and mentality of the men in charge of the business end of the various school districts throughout this region were on a par with any other community. He refused to believe there was a single school director who was not wholly sympathetic with any movement to advance the cause of popular education. And he went through with his plan to select specialists as assistants who could be sources of information and advice in all the varying departments of teaching. Professor Cope saw that rural teachers required a totally different regime than the congested boroughs. He quickly: grasped the need of one kind of adviser for primary grades and another for the grammar schools, and yet another for junior or senior high schools. Throwing political expediency to the winds, Professor Cope, not finding the individual trained for special work available from the local ranks, went outside the State to get them. And now his faith in the personnel of school directors hk been vindicated. In a most complimentary set of resolutions the county convention went on record as supporting any plan to furth- er the broad and intensive training of the teaching staffs that the children shall profit accordingly. The Post wishes to congratulate the School Directors’ Asso- ciation for their policy of eliminating petty log-rolling politics in the work of our public schools, and we further commend Pro- fessor Cope on his splendid vision, his intellectual attainments and his capacity for organization in the grave responsibilities he so ably discharges.
