Every community mas at
least one building which il
owns in common; that is the
schoOlhouse. IL is built by
every body. maintained b y
ever body, and belongs to
everybody. IL ought to be of
benefit to everybody. OF course
the initial and essential use Of
schoOlhOuse is TO provide shell
ter for the children while they
learn their lessons. But il
ought to do great deal more
for them than that. 1t ought
10 educate them in taste, in the
appreciation Of art, and in the
knowledge OF beauty, and thus
increase their resources Of hap
piness. This may be done by
making the building and the
grounds in which il stands as
beautiful as the neighborhood
can afford, and by adjoining
the rooms with casts and prints
of the best statues and pictures.
This is not expenses. \ house
with good lines and simple dig
nifty may even cost less than
one which every day affronts
the landscape, and casts and
prints may be had for small
prices.
In the beautifying OF the pub
lie school there are two facts 90
have in mind. One OF these is
expressed in the phrase. "the
almighty hall" This was used
by a great schoolmaster TO EN-
/ phasize the vast and abiding
influence Of our surroundings.
| Unconsciously and inevitably
the looks of the building make
a difference in the life OF the
people who live in il. The
bare little white scho0lhouse al
the crossroads. whose only
decoration Is "A hagpole at th,
gable of the roof, is "a symbol of
the dullness and monotony OF
agricultural coalitions. Both
the conditions and the symb0
of them may easily be improv
ed. Cover the blank walls witt
vines and plant How, rs.
/ The other fact is that chill
dren will respond 10 these EN-
/ deavors. The school cOmmitte,
may say that no flower viii
grow in school grounds, an,
that hanging pictures on the
walls is like hanging pear
necklaces on swine. They ma,
say that children are destTuc

wise course is To fit them out a
far as possible with indestructi

not work that way. Experienc

w ASHlNGTON LETTER

Now that the River and Harbor
bill, which passed the House
February 10, has been reported
To the Senate, carrying in round
numbers $50, ,000,0 the in
crease over the House bill of
$40, 200, 900. boing accounted for
in the number of new provisions
added by the Senate committee
on Commerce. it is expected
that Chairman Frye will urge
speedy consideration Of the
meausre in order to get the bill
out of the way before the clos
ing days of Congress come
around.
The select committee of the
Senate, which Is investigating
wages and the cost of living,
has had many interesting argu-
ments and statements 70 listen
to during the past few weeks
and while it is not likely that
any reduction in the price Of
food viii result, some facts have
been brought out and others
will be, which may lead to
serious thought by the Ameri-
can consumer. One peculiar
statement was made by a can
ny" ScOtchman who knows
more about the cattle business
than any other man in this
country. His name rs Murdo
/ Mackenzie.
Mackenzie is a manager for
large companies operating
great cattle raising plants in
Canada, in the Dakotas. in
/ Colorado, in Texas, in Okla
homa and Eew Mexico. He
showed to the committee why
the price of cattle will in all
probability never decrease and
he asserted that in his judgment
the price Of beef Will never
again be low, for the reason
that the ranges upon which
thousands OF animals run and
were fed twenty years ago have
been gradually cut up into
farms. and the white cotton
boil today covers thousands of
acres in Texas, for instance,
where few years ago the
white faced Hereford dotted the
landscape.
He amused the committee
however, by expressing the
opinion that in his judgment

EQUALIZATION OF PAY.
Bill to Place Crossings Police on
Footing With Regulars.

The Commissioners will shortly take I'D
the question of paying crossing policemen
the same amounts that are paid to the
men of the regular force. A bill intro
duced In the House by Representative
Olcott Of New York provides that these
crossing men shall be paid regular po-
licemen's salaries. and that they shall
have thirty days Of sick leave and twenty
days annual leave. At present crossing
policemen are paid $3.50 a day by the
street railroad companies and have no
sick or annual leave. The bill does not
mention who shall pay the salaries pro-
posed.
The matter is now in the office Of Com
missioner Johnston and it is expected that
the board will make report to the House
District committee within few days.
