in that city can tell the names of even one of the principal officials of that municipality. The women are more at fault than the men but the latter have little to boast about. It was revealed that the voters, male and female, didn't feci ashamed of their lack of information and apparently didn't care. That same spirit prevails in most other cities and Hazleton is no exception, although no test has been made to determine the ratio here. It is a safe bet, however, that the great majority of people couldn't name half a dozen public officials of the city, This attitude of "I don't care" is evidenced repeatedly at primary and general elections.

Many take it as a foregone conclusion that a certain slate of candidates will be elected and they won't bother to go to the polls. Because of the stiffer fight for office that is expected in Hazleton the coming fall, the primary election vote on September 9 may be higher than usual but at that a large number of persons will not be concerned. HOSPITAL SURVEY A state-wide hospital survey is provided for in a bill signed this week by Governor Duff. Congress passed a somewhat similar act in 1946, which makes federal funds available to states for this purpose and additional funds for construction where need is shown. Whatever federal moneys are eventually granted must' be matched by the state, as is the case in airport construction.

A division of hospital survey and construction is created by the new state law. All over Pennsylvania hospitals are crowded and new buildings are necessary. Hazleton is on the way to secure relief by erection of the new St. Joseph hospital but even with its completion in two years or so, the situation will not be fully met. The Hazleton State Hospital is filled to capacity nearly all the time and a large addition would be welcomed.

It will be well for local hos-pital authorities to study the. newly approved survey bill and do what they can to take advantage of it. THE PARTICULAR ttitabilsbea IK8 Published Every Afternoon EfP Sunday. nd Holiday, at North Wyoming St. Haaleton, Pa.

The bill also directs the department to prepare courses in Americanism designed to educate Pennsylvania school children on the advantages of the American form of government and the economic advantages it offers. Educators generally are expected to agree with the pla-n, which originated in the legislature. School programs have been criticized from time to time and it will be well for experts to go over the various courses of study.

Some parents argue that the schools attempt to cover too many subjects and that students are burdened with night work. Entire abolition of night study would be unwise. To get ahead it is necessary to make sacrifices" and the boys and girls who devote night hours to their work for the next day generally get ahead. Those who don't care are the failures, not only in school but in vocations or professions they take up later in life. On the variety of subjects, however, there is difference, of opinion which must be taken into consideration.

More concentration of the three R's would be welcome. Any student well drilled in reading, writing and arithmetic will be able to get along, if unable to go beyond the high school. These are three basic requirements of an education, according to our viewpoint and should not continue to be neglected as they are in numerous sections of the state. It recently came to public notice that girls coming from schools where the multiplication table is no longer taught, had to learn it when they got positions in a telephone exchange. Another case was where they didn't know the alphabet as it had been taught for years and girls in office positions had to learn it before they could qualify.

It was found that their un-familiarity with the alphabet tumped them in the use of filing cabinets. Subjects which might be dropped from the average curriculum vary and no concrete suggestions have come from any source as to what ones could be marked off. The teaching of American history is important and should receive due attention. A survey about a year ago of the colleges tfrnvArairiM of tW VnitpH States showed that there has been regrettable neglect in this respect. One of the arguments of college authorities was that students required a wide knowledge of world history rather than what happened in the past Ill uic I- iilicu Oloico, State history should also be included in the curricula to a fair extent.

It wouldn't hurt, either, to cover local history to a limited degree. Despite the vastness of our public school educational system, there is much illiteracy in the country, as was revealed by the draft in the late war when more than half a million young men were found unable to read or write. Listen to a quiz program en the air once in a while and you can get an idea of how dumb many people are. They are the products of our schools and their lack of knowledge of the most common things is amazing. Yes, we need a revision of standards and improved methods of making the average American more intelligent.
