Many children fall from grace because
they have no guidance whatever at home

least resistance and impulse, and they fall
into bad habits as a consequence of ex-
ternal conditions rather than moral
weakness. The crowd at the street cor

A Civic Christmas.

A suggestion has been made by reader
of The Star that Christmas be celebrate
ed in Washington on a large scale by
some such means as that adopted in 9TH
er cities, notably the erection of great
Christmas tree in one of the central pub
lie spaces. with electric light decorations
and with appropriate music. The idea is
well worthy of consideration at this time
i'm season for such preparations as are
necessary for its local adoption. The
spirit of civic observance. stimulated by
the manner in which Independence day
was COMMUNICATED last summer, should
be appealed to for a public observance
of Christmas day, in some such manner.
Washington is peculiarly fitted for folk
festival of this description. 1t might be
enough merely to provide great Christ
mas tree. erected. for example. in the
center of the cllipse south Of the White
House and appropriately decorated, with
music by band. Many variations oil
this idea are possible and it remains for
some organization of citizens to espouse
the thought and develop 1t TO practical
conclusion.

Juvenile Probation.

Success is attending the efforts of the
local chapters of the Daughters of the
American Revolution to raise fund to
pay the salary of woman probation Of
ficer for the Juvenile Court as a supple
ment to the force provided by law. 1t is
indicated that the amount needed will be
subscribed. and Judge Latimer will re-
ceive the benefit of this additional agent

extent, solve the problem which confronts
him. but it will not meet the require

The Rose Garden.

The rose garden patiently waits for the
snow,
AS it's blossoms grow fainter and few.
And the sun has abated the generous glow
That rainbowed the tremulous dew;
The spider grows weary of weaving its
snare,
And the butterfy's frolic is done;
The leaves flutter down and the branches
are bare
Where the robin once sang to the sun.
The rose garden smiles with a smile tina,
is sad
On the leaves that drift down from the

The cherished companions of days thai

Superintendent Davidson's Salary.

While the suggestion of a popular sub
scription to supply the difference between
the Washington and Pittsburgh salaries,
as a means of inducing DR.. Davidson to
remain as superintendent of the District
public schools. is highly and deservedly
complimentary to him. it is not to be
considered for a moment as feasible
plan and DR.. Davidson has promptly de-
clined to regard it as practical proposal.
III DIR. Davidson feels that he cannot at
ford to remain here at 5000 in the face
of an offer of $4,000 year. there is no
way to keep him short of change in
the salary by act of Congress. Rep
resentative Aswell of Louisiana is right
in his statement that educators are paid
too little in compensation for their re-
sponsible and valuable services. and he
is TO be commended for his vigorous and
enthusiastic endeavor to obtain an early
increase in the salary of the local super
intendent. III the spirit which he dis
plays animated the entire membership
of both houses Washington would have
no such problem as confronts it in the
matter of retaining the services of its
most efficient school teachers and Off
cials-a problem which has been pre-
sented heretofore and almost invariably
with loss to the local educational system
The teaching profession is lamentably
underpaid. The children are intrusted TO
the care of the schools, not merely for
their mental training, but at "a period
when their moral development is in prog
"ress. Upon the character of the teaching
force depends to a very great extent the
character of the next generation. Not
withstanding this obvious fact, school
, appropriations are relatively low. Teach
ers are paid little more than unskilled la
who are charged with administrative re-
Sponsibilities of great weight. receive
poor returns for the years of study and
development which they have expended.
Washington has suffered numerous
losses because the local school pay scale
is low. Repeatedly acquisitions have been
made upon Congress for larger allot-
ment Of funds on this account, but with
little result, and situation is pre-
ter conspicuously. 1t may be that Con-
Gress will decide that Washington can
not compete in the matter of superin-
tendents salary with such large city as
Pittsburgh, but it must be remembered
that Washington is today an educational
center and is developing In that charac-
ter, and it should in any event be the
pride of Congress to make the local pub
lie school system the best in the country,
which means to secure the best available
talent Of administration and retain it.

Blease and the Senate.

Gov. Blease is making Roadway in his
campaign for the Senate. and some OF
his opponents are on the anxious seat
They shudder at the thought of his APP
pearance as a member of 50 august a
legislative tribunal.
They should calm themselves. What
better way of tanning a professionally
wild man than by sending him to Con-
gress? Either house will do Both houses
have records in the way of pairing the
claws and drawing the teeth of fury.
The case of the late Jerry Simpson of
Kansas is in point. He secured election
to the House 10y extravagances of both
speech and toggery on the stump he
not only ranted for the plain people. but
dressed the part His attire during his
campaign was both scant and shabby He
rejoiced in the sobriquet of The Sock
less Statesman of Medicine Lodge.
But soon after beginning his term here
he abandoned the ma squerade. The dis
guise did not suit the environment. II
made the wearer absurd among his aSSo-
ciates So after a fling or two in the
House after his stumping fashion-just
to make good for the boys at home
who had sent him here-he emerged in
his trus colors, and became conservative.
and even personally popular.
Another case in point is that of the
late Senator Davis of Arkansas. He had
marshaled the wool hats OF his state
behind him by abuse of predatory wealth,
and promises that if elected to the Senate
he would speedily put stripes on the
leading plutocrats of the country soon
after taking his place in the Senate he
addressed the body in his stump style,
and had large audience. All the seats
in the chamber. upstairs and down, were
filled. The liveliest curiosity to hear him
existed.
II was a clever speech of it's kind, but
wholly unsuited to the Senate. and
second attempt of the kind made.shortly
afterward failed absolutely. The cham
Der was almost empty. Mr. Davis-who
was a bright man of his sort-took the
hint. stripped off his feathers and wash
ed off his war paint, and addressed him
self to milder methods and soberer views
The wild man had been tanned.
If Gov. Blease comes to Rome he Will
have to adjust himself to Roman Gus
toms and requirements. He will want TO
serve his people Well and stand well with
his associates. He will not be able to
bring senators to him. and so will have to
go to them. He will find at once that
the Senate is not the place for what the
irreverent call monkey business in
politics. but a place where great bust
ness is transacted with sedateness and
order And when he finds what pleasant
and admired memories South Carolinians
like Wade Hampton and NJ. c. Butler
left in that chamber. he may wish, and
try to emulate them. Both were fine
specimens of men and legislators.

changes of which the elimination Of

fuse her many Earring tribes and races

people animated by the same ideals She
must learn some measure of self-control
She must develop that conscience of free

which is as far removed from servilit,
as from anarchy There are two great
agencies for effecting these changes, the
