TOPICS OF THE DAY
Change in Collar Styles A revolution in education has been quietly under way in the United States for some time, says the Christian Science Monitor. The Order of Overalls is overcoming barriers erected during the Era of .the White Collar. Educators, parents and laymen recognise that we cannot educate 80 per cent, of the Nation’s youths for 10 per cent, of its job possibilities. There are many opportunities in overalls today; there are many less chances in white-collar fields. Of the 130 occupational tasks, for example, listed by the National Defence Advisory Board, the greatest number is of the manual type. We are regaining respect for honest handwork. We are a mechanical nation. Tools will continue to be a vital support of society. In wide areas, native craftsmen are once more turning out hand-made articles. The public appreciates good workmanship as proved by its purchases. A change of fashions in collar styles is a happy omen.
