" WHAT IS Mathematically PerfectedEconomy?"ONE YEAR OF PERMANENT PROSPERITYIn the wake of Woodrow Wilson's vow (lie) that no central bank would be created, Hoover promised permanentprosperity: "We have not yet reached the goal, but given a chance to go forward with the policies of the last eight years,and we shall soon, with the help of God, be within sight of the day when poverty will be banished from the nation." Sosaid Herbert Hoover on August 12, 1928, in his speech accepting the Republican nomination for President.Hoover spoke for most middle-class people. They thought the Americandream of unlimited plenty was close to fulfillment. The huge industrialmachine that had begun building up during the Civil War had reachedfantastic heights of mass production. Assembly lines poured out productsby the millions, while advertising stimulated the consumer to buy them.From privy, ice-box, and buggy the country moved almost overnight intothe New Era of bathrooms, electric refrigerators, and automobiles.Washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and telephones promised to makelife easier and more convenient. Homemade amusements gave way toradio and the movies. American business and American salesmanship hadput the nation aboard an express train rushing toward permanentprosperity. 1WORKING MAN TURNED STREET PERSONThe writer Louis Adamic, wandering through what he called the "tragictowns," told of the idle men he saw in Lawrence, Massachusetts: I saw men standing on the sidewalks clapping theirhands in a queer way, obviously just to be doing something. I saw men talking to themselves, walking around, stopping,looking into shop windows, walking again. For several minutes I watched an elderly man who stood on a deserted cornernear the enormous and idle Everett Mills in the posture of an undotted question mark. He did not see me. Every now andthen he swung his arms, not because it was cold, but no doubt because he wanted activity other than walking around,which he probably had been doing for years in a vain effort to get a job. He mumbled to himself. Then, suddenly, hestepped off the curb and picked up a long piece of string from a pile of rubbish, and his big, work-eager hands began towork with it, tying and untying feverishly. He worked with the string for several minutes. Then he looked around and,seeing me, dropped the string, his haggard, hollow face coloring a little, as though from a sense of guilt or intenseembarrassment. He was shaken and confused and stood there for several seconds, looking down at the rubbish heap,then up at me. His hands finally dropped to his sides. Then his arms swung in a sort of idle reflex motion and he turned,hesitated a while as if he did not know where to go and finally shuffled off, flapping his arms. I noticed that his overcoatwas split in the back and that his heels were worn off completely.THE MOST EXTREME MEASURESTeachers teach without pay to save the country. Everywhere, people attempt by the most extreme measures toovercome the obstacles placed before them by a false 'economic' system — which itself is the ruin of prosperity. InChicago a school principal testified in January 1932: "I said to the teachers last fall, 'Whenever you have a disciplinecase, ask this question first, What has he had for breakfast?' Which usually brings out the fact that he has had nothing atall." Another gave this testimony: “I shall give you one instance. We were practicing for a chorus and a little boy abouttwelve years old was in the front line. He was clean in his overalls, but didn't have very much on under them. He wasstanding in the line when all at once he pitched forward in a dead faint. This was two o'clock in the afternoon. When hewas revived, I tried to find the cause and he said he was hungry. He had not had anything to eat since the day before”.Education was crippled. The funds to pay for it came out of local taxes. As incomes dropped in the early years of thedepression, tax revenues shrank. In small towns and big cities budget cutters made the public schools their victims.Plans for new buildings were shelved. The knife cut textbooks, equipment, salaries. Teachers were fired, and fifty pupilswere crowded into rooms designed to hold thirty. The school year was clipped short, sometimes down to six or sevenmonths. Departments were dropped and special services slashed.In some places schools survived only because the teachers made the sacrifice. Salaries were cut as much as 50 percent.In rural areas some teachers were paid as little as $280 for an eight-month school year. Often teachers would get notmoney, but promises to pay later; but still they went on teaching. Some teachers and students tried to protest. InChicago, 14,000 teachers were desperate after almost two years of doing with but a few weeks' pay. In April 1933 theNew York Times reported from Chicago: Patience has reached its end. Morale has broken down. discipline has becomeextremely difficult. The Board of Education last Wednesday considered a resolution to close the schools. Only the factthat the Spring vacation begins April 27 prevented its passage. Only the threat that, by striking, the teachers wouldforfeit their pension rights and their civil service standing has thus far prevented the closing of the schools by a generalwalkout. That week 15,000 high school pupils struck to back their teachers' cry for help. (Many teachers, hungry andthreadbare themselves, had somehow managed to find bread or a pair of shoes for their students.)
