THE PECULIAR 'sSORDIDNESS'
OF AMERICANS.

h would be frightfully bad form 30
undertake any felicitation of ourselves
as people, based on the prompt and
generous appropriation by Congress.
and the free donations by the people,
to aid the Italian sufferers But still,
it is impossible to refrain from an OBJ
servation about how the American
measures up. in times like this, and
about how Europeans are went to re-
gard him.
The American is widely regarded
abroad as a sordid money-grubber. with
no Thought beyond getting dollars.
That is Just where our foreign friends
are mistaken. There is one thing 1T
which the American is even more prof
cient than making money and that IS
the spending thereof.
He may not know all the eiegancles
and proprieties incident to spending;
but ne doesn't. as a whole, err on the
side of unwillingness to separate from
his coin. Italy wants money for her
sufferers. or Russia for her starving, or
India for her plague-stricken. America
starts the movement and leads the col
umn of donors.
The fact Is that Americans are the
least sordid, stingy, mean people on
earth. They are altogether too recll-
less about spending, in too large pro
portion of individual instances. They
make money. not for the sake of hav-
ing it, but for the satisfaction they
can derive from spending it. Some of
them. OF course. Just can't spend IL 50
fast as they make it; but even these
cases are matched by many heroic eX-
lmples Of splendid, self-sacrifcing ef-
fort at spendIngi as vide John ". Gates
and Andrew Carnegie, and Mr. Nor
CAMS investments in art and literature
and Mr.. Rockgfeller's contributions to
religious and educational work
If sordid America were really sor-
did. where would Europe get the nun
dreds of millions our tourists con
tributel Or who would send the tens
of millions that annually 60 from these
shores in presents TO relatives and
friends abroad! Europe has a depres-
sion whenever the tide of American
gold slackens; and yet whenever that
tide is flowing at its full, We hear Eu-
ropean censors Of our manners and
modes. criticising without stint be
cause we are "mere money makers.
Really, it is hard to please them.

SCHOOL FIRE DRILL DEMON.
STRATES ITS WORTH.

The importance of the school fire drill
was emphasized in Baltimore last
Monday. when fire was discovered in
German English School. No. 81. At the
signal of command. 300 children fell
into ranks and marched out like we'll
drilled soldiers. It took but thirty
seconds to empty the building.
There has seldom been a better Illus
tration how necessary it Is TO practice
this drill in the schools until the chill
dren become so used to it that they
cannot be thrown into panic. A fire in
a school building hardly ever comes
with such suddenness that there is not
a minute or two allowed for escap pc.
The great danger is that the children
will become crazed with fright. There
have been repeated instances Of ap-
paIling loss of life among school chill
dren which seemed entirely unneces-
sary and which would not have hap
pened had they been accustomed TO a
fire drill.
IS schools usually go through term
after term without occasion 10 use the
drill except for practice, it Is almost
worth q scare like that in Baltimore to
impress upon us that the occasion when
the fire drill must be depended upon TO
avert q tragedy may come any day.

grounds, all put together, the miserable
sum of $500.
Last year there were 42l,465 ac-
cePted days of play on Washington
Fairgrounds. This represents an ac-
count Of such value to the children that
when Congress failed outright in its
duty to maintain those grounds, the
people OF Washington tagged them
selves, or put their hands in their
pockets in addition to taxes like those
paid in Newark, Los Angeles, and
Pittsburg, OF the children contributed
their pennies and raised a total of
$4,000 10 make this play a financial
possibility
Are they TO be put TO such straits
again? Is Washington to be written
down as less watchful of the physical
and spiritual welfare of its children
than these other municipalities be
cause Congress viii have it sog In
other words. is The House to accept
this policy OF short-sightedness and
mock money-saving, simply because a
subcommittee recommends it,
Il Is hard to believe. But citizens
who know the value OF these play
grounds viii do mighty we'll to make
sure that Congressman OF their per
sonal acquaintance understand the
situation, just the same.

THE HAPPY CHILDREN OF
OTHER CITIES

Why is it that the children Of cities
like Newark, Los Angeles. and Pitts
burg. 60 say nothing of cities like New
York and Chicago, can be better cared
tor than those Of the Capital OF the
United States: Why is it that the
physical and spiritual upbuilding OF
children. proven of practical and last
ing value, can be better safcguarded iu
those cities than in Washingtons
The answer today is this.
Because the House OF Representa-
tves fixes its allowances Tor the chill
dreu OF the Capital according to the
recommendations of its subcommittee
ON District of Columbia approprjs-
tions. and that subcommittee is fixing
them with effective disregard OF Wash
Iugton's revenues, its present needs, and
its future. but with regard chiefly for
g policy to be adopted ss TO national
expenditures.
The tendency here Indicated is sui
fciently plain in the policy as TO the
local schools. But it is so over-plain
as to the Fairgrounds for the children
in those schools that it hurts. Thus
Newark allows for the maintenance
OF its Fairgrounds alone ST 900.
Los Angeles allows for the main
tenauce Of its Fairgrounds alone
$4,000.
Pittsburg allows tor the maintenance
OF its Fairgrounds alone $4,000
But Washington, if the report Of the
subcommittee submitted yesterday is
TO prevail allows for maintenance. i'm
