The Dresden Shepherdcss Costume
in Pale Blue and Rose Sill
for the Debutdnte.

Since the advent and the enthu-
siastic adoption of the frilled and
looped tunic the feminine and fash
ionable outline has become suffi'
GENTLY striking to satisfy almost
any and all seekers after the SEN
sational.
At any rate. so one might have
thought.
But a literally GROWING sensa-
ton is still to come in the form OF
a hat which repeats-but in invert-
ed form-the shape of the afore-
mentioned looped tunic, its width
of brim tapering up into high
and narrow crown, whose slender
circumference will Git is TO be
hoped) be matched by the wearer's
ankles as clearly revealed by a slit
up skirt, or, at amy rate, just as
clearly silhouetted by a wisp III
drapery
And. so that they may be q still
better match for the tunics, the
hats are trimmed with frills. tor

greatest water power project in the

| The peculiar status given the Dis
trict by the Constitution was a con-
cession to tho general fear that the
Federal government might usurp the
authority of the States and set up,
at the scat OF government. a power
which would practically be inimical to
that Of the States. The discussion OF
the subject in "Eliots Debates" makes
this plain, and shows that the District
was denied place in Congress for
fear that its citizens might exercise
too great an influence over proceed
inCs if they had the ballot
In one sense, these precautions were
in vain, for inability to vote for Con-
Eressmcn and Senators has merely
whetted the political appetite OF Dis
trct citizens. They are as much in
politics rs IL they elected the whole
Congress, and they are proficient
enough to teach lessons to any political
machine.
In another sense tho fear that
prompted these precautions was un-
founded, Tho citizens of the District
can be trusted, and il they want ono,
they can probably get delegate sim
liar to those sent by our insular pos
sessions. But when they come to ask
for two Senator's they will have ar
rayed against them opposition over
whclming. Every State will feel that
the few hundred thousand citizens of
the District have no right 30 equal
representation with tho millions in the
States. and practically every State
would vote against such an amendment
to the Constitution.
Nor will II be worth while for the
District TO plead the familiar argument
that the Senators represent the Sta.ns
in their sovereign capacity. rather tn. (
the people. That argument availed in
the case Of Delaware and Rhode Island
but since the passage OF the seven
teenth amendment it does not apply
We may not like to admit tho fact
and may prefer to cling TO the old
opinion. but now that the people Of
the States must elect the Senators. the
latter represent the people rather than
the states. In such a situation. the
people OF no state Will be willing to
give rights as great as their own to
the small population of the District
Our advice to our friends OF the Dis
trict is that they lot we'll enough alone
and content themselves with being the
petted ward Of Congress. Sovereignty
brings responsibnity-fn as we'll

! There Is much % interest in the
! educational platform" adopted by the
school superintendent at their Rad.
ford confcrence-much that is OF i'm
mediate application. much that mus;
be the goal OF long endeavor
But above everything else in this
platform" Is the demand for better
teaching and longer terms in our
common" schools. and this is largely
a demand for the reversal OF our policy
OF recent years.
TO appreciate what this really means
We must remember how we have pro-
ceedcd in public education during the
last ten years We have felt as a
people that many States were doing
things we should do. We have appre-
ciated the Importance of manual train
ing and have tried to introduce il in
a small way: we have seen the need
OF good high schools and we have
built many OF them: we have found
that agriculture is proper subject
OF public instruction. and We have es-
tabiished It as n part OF tho cur-!cu-
luin in number OF our counties
Yet. when all is said and done, these
things have raised our school enici-
ency in certain directions, but they
have not given us the solid foundation
We must have. The stubborn fact that
We stand forty first among the states
in popular education remains to throw
cold water on our pride.
This does not mean that we should
undo what We have done in recent
years. 1t does not mean necessarily
that We have made a mistake in our
improvements. Il merely means that
we can never hope 10 build a satisfac-
tory edihce OF learning until we have
founded II on the bedrock OF good
common schools.
And here we might as well pc hon
est and admit that we are woefully
backward There arc hundreds and
hundreds OF common schools in vir-
ginia-schools in which thousands OF
boys and girls set practically all the
education they reccive-wherc we have
a Eve months school session. More
over most or these schools are insani-
tary. cramped and without the real
essentials OF effective work.
To the correction OF these condi-
tons we must bend our energies. We
must still encourage the counties to
build high schools, TO consolidate small
schools and to enlarge thar course
OF study; but we must make these
things secondary to the Improvement
OF tho common schools OF tho State
We cannot afford TO build a cornice
until we have laid foundation.
This will not come with the wish
ing. 1t will only come with liberal
appropriations which in turn. mean
larger contribution to the public
school fund by tho taxpayers We
must pay for what we must have.
