Harmony in the Classroom.

The parent-teacher association idea Is
spreading in the public schools, and from
the occasional reports published in The
Star seems to be making its greatest
gain in the suburban villages that circle
the capital and that are gradually merg-
ing into the greater city.
These parent and teacher associations
wherever they have been formed have
produced excellent results in bringing the
teachers and the parents OF their pupils
into better understanding and closer har-
mony. These associations promote good
and directly obviate evil, in that friction
between teacher and parents over trivial
incidents is In numerous instances avert
ed. Where the teacher feels the moral
support of the parent and the parent feels
condolences in the teacher, concord and
progress go hand in hand in the class
room. This is as II should be.

Secretary Knox.

Ordinarily. when gossip plays around
the name of cabinet officer taking him
out OF his place there is some new duty
assigned him. He is either sent abroad
In diplomatic capacity. or into politics
at home with senatcrship or governc~-
ship in prospect. or recommended highly
for judicial appointment. 1t is rarely
the case that such man Is despoiled
OF one Office without being provided with
another-on paper.
But this is happening TO Secretary Knox
right along. He seems TO be the favorite
among the yarn spinners, who yank him
out of the State Department every few
weeks without making the slightest pro-
vision for his future. Being a good ma
tured man and philosopher. he makes no
complaint IL the yarns entertain any
body he is willing. He must wonder,
however. how they can. So many of
them have been exposed. 1t is strange
that their author or authors should
persist.
Why should Mr.. Knox quit office: He

The Fairgrounds of the country will b'

the Fairgrounds of the country will be
| exhibited.
The playground movement has had
rapid extension through the cities or the
United States, has now progressed De-
yond a city question and has invaded the
| country. and rural recreation Is one OK
the topics which will be discussed at the
present conference by recreation experts.
The delegates to this conference will be
shown what Washington has to show IN
the matter of Fairgrounds: and the dele
gates will be guests Saturday afternoon
at the Neighborhood House Social Settle
ment, whence parties will visit the vari-
| Gus Fairgrounds.
The purpose Of the Playground Assocta-
ton of America is to promote normal
play and public recreation. The making
of healthy children tends to the making
of robust men and women. The great
mass of city children having no other
playground than the street. full Of dam
GER dirt and questionable companionship.
1t has been deemed wise to provide them
with proper play spots where the play
may be supervised by persons having an
interest in children. The money cost OF
the plan is slight and the sum of pres
ent and future good is immense.
One of the arguments put forth in be-
half of Fairgrounds in large cities with.a
heavy foreign population is that they
amalgamate or fuse the children of i'm
migrants into patriotic young Americans.
Racial lines are apt to be obliterated In
children's games. for juvenile play is es-
sentially democratic. The playground un-
der correct supervision is training spot
for character and tends to overcome clan
nishness-a good thing both for children
of native and foreign parentage.
This argument is not an important one
in Washington, the main reason for the
playground here being that the child de-
serves a play place. and that being de-
MED him by the crowded built-up condi-
ton of the city. one that is safe and &C.
cessible should be provided. The child's
physit al health Is a main consideration,
and his natural way of taking exercise,
getting his development and working of
pent-up force is in play. 1t Is quite as
essential to the well-being of the child as
books. Books will be of little avail to
the boy or girl unless he or she grows
up strong and hearty. Good lungs and
good blood promote happiness, content
and good citizenship.
The street Is not a proper playground.
1t is dangerous because of traffic, apt to
be dirty, and the associations Of the
children are beyond adequate supervision.
The public playground is the thing.

and the President are on excellent terms,
| II they know their own feelings and the
situation. That is one thing, and very
important thing.
Another thing is that were Mr.. Knox
, to retire from the cabinet 1t would prob
ably mark his retirement from politics.
A Governor of Pennsylvania has just been
elected. Senator Oliver has just been
reelected for a full term, while Senator
Penrose, who has Just been promoted to
the leadership of the Senate. is stronger
| with his home machine than ever. There
would be no thoroughfare for Mr.. Knox
in his own baiiwick
As for diplomatic post. he would
hardly care to leave the head of the ia
BILE TO sit below the salt. And as for a
place on the bench, only a Supreme Court
ents and reputation as lawyer. and
there Is no vacancy in that tribunal.
1t is hardly necessary to- say that a
man who had made good in two impor-
tant posts before entering upon the du-
ties Of his present post-in which he is
also making good-has risen by merit,
and should remain in commission. He
entered politics reluctantly. and under
circumstances tildt subjected MIN 10 muCn
criticism. That a lawyer could leave a
large corporation practice and serve the
government satisfactorily as Attorney
General at a time when the government

about the antitrust law was not thought

Knox proved to be the very man the
President was looking for. and made a
most efficient head of the Department Of
Justice. And equally able. tooi did he
prove to be in the Senate. to which body
he was transferred on the strength of
his cabinet reputation.
Mr.. Knox is not yet sixty, possesses
ample means, has been away from the
practice of his profession and a power
in public life for over ten years. His

so with the peace pact with Great Brit

each year has found him stronger, as
each year has shown growth for the
country in security at home and respect
abroad. At home, as abroad. Diaz has
spelled Mexico.
Those now In revolt against the Diaz
regime declare against tyranny. They
assert that there is no republican form

Georgetown's Clean-Up Campaign

Georgetown proposes q cleanup cam

and sanitation. The Georgetown Citizens.
Association at its May meeting as an
nounced in The Star yesterday, went on
record as approving general cleanup
of back yards. a cleanup of the breed
ing places of flies and mosquitoes and
the abolition of old-style drinking foun-
tains, with their serm-covered dippers,
aud the substitution of sanitary bubbIing
fountains.
The association will appeal to all resi-
dents west Of Rock creek to join in the
war against flies and mosquitoes, dirt
and civic ugliness. The results will be
Of beRef1t not only to the western sec
ton, but to all other sections. Com
munities needing an example may find
it in that set by the Georgetown asso-

Emphasis will be laid on the danger Of
the fly and the mosquito as a disease
breeder. 1t is believed that because OF
the widely advertised danger Of these
pests the appeal Of the association will
be very generally needed.
