American athletes and sportsmen have
reason to regard the closing season as
one Of the most successful in history.
Three important international champion
ships have been taken from England this
year. in sports that have been heretofore
regarded as peculiarly the specialties Of
that country. First the polo matches
were won by an American team from
one of the best English teams ever or
ganized. Next an American captured the
International lawn tennis honors in a
series OF contests in England. playing
against the most expert racquet wtelders
in the British Isles. Now an American
schooiboy has wrested from two Eng
lish professionals, players Of the highest
order Of skill. the golf championship
which until the concluding games seemed
certain to pass into English hands. There
remains now. to complete the record, the
successful defense Of the Americas cup
in the yacht races to be held q year
hence. II meanwhile the honors scored
this year are retained a fourth defeat of
the Upton challenger in 1914 will estab-
lish American sporting supremacy beyond
question. Unfortunately the triumph of
the Americans at tho olympic games at
Stockholm last year was somewhat
marred by the afterward disclosed and
psenptR acknowledged professionalism

Washington's Schools.

The reopening of the public schools OF
the District occurs in circumstances to
promise continued advancement of their
development III efficiency and scope The
local educational system, though not
based upon the correct principle as to
the designation of the board of education,
is nevertheless in wholesome condition
as whole. 1t suffers somewhat from
lack of funds in one direction or another
and is not adequately housed. More lib
eral appropriations are needed for equip
ment and the pay scale of the teaching
should be increased. while the grestest
need of all is the provision Of some means
of teachers retirement to give the school
system the benefit of continuous pro-
motion and the release from labor of
those who have served many years in
the educational ranks. But with all such
handicaps the school system has worked
out a degree of efficiency that is most
satisfactory and the multitude of chill
dren who are today enrolled are obtaining
the splendid training.
The tendency in modern public educa-
ton is toward practical rather than pure
ly academic lines, and in this the Dis
trict has been virtually pioneer, start
ing early to develop technical education.
Even more may be done in this line than
has been accomplished in the past, but
this calls for further expenditure.
The greatest need of the schools today
is for additional buildings, partly to re-
duce the distance travelled by the chill
dren in reaching their places of educa-
ton. but mainly to permit the reduction
of classes. The best judgment of edu-
Gators today is that the classes should
be made smaller than is possible when
through slenderness of means both the
building equipment and the teaching force
are kept at a minimum. No teacher can
adequately instruct class of fifty pu.
pills. however efficient or physically ca
pable of enduring the strain. 1t is the
exceptional pupil who prospers mentally
in the conditions that obtain in many of
the school buildings. If the class average
were reduced to thirty far better results
would be obtained and the community
would feel the benefit in the more eff
cient equipment of the younger genera
ton upon leaving school.

lutionary period or the civil war period.
and the closer he focused upon COM
paratively short terms he found it neces-
sary to concentrate in order to grasp the
real meaning of the country's doings. the
motives Of men guiding the course OF
events. the relationship of happenings.
History is the story of mans activities
and is as Infinite in its variations as the
human character.
OF latter days the text book writer's
have been recognizing the necessity OF
giving the child closer range of view. IN
the events of his own environment. while
presenting to him a widely sweeping but
sufficiently inclusive record of world hap
penings to enable him to understand the
causes leading up to the establishment
of the American nation. 1t is far more
important that the children Of this coun-
try should know thor oughly the story or
their own land, with q smattering Oh
world history. than that they should be
drilled in ancient and medieval records
of old world happenings. BY the time
that a pupil under the old system OF his
tory teaching got down to a detailed
study of American events the subject had
become anathema to him. Some steachers
Of the subject believe it best to work
backward, to present first an intimate
story of the United States, and then to
open gradually the doors of world his
tory.
Whatever course is pursued. there
should be less rigid adherence to the
principle that the student who IS able to
remember dates and names most perfect
ly is the best of his class. More i'm
portant is it TO drill the pupil IN causes
rather than in mere chronological Sc
quences. The teaching of history and
geography should go hand in hand. so
that the child has not only a concept of
events. but a grasp of the physical sit
uation and u pictorial idea OF the rela-
tionship of places When thus presented
by a teacher who can make the story of
the world vivid and real presentation
the study of history becomes most fas-
and is certain to appeal to all
students, OF whatever grade of intellect.

not quite. 1t remains for her voters to
give a decision at the coming November

away with the former divisions of au-

the state over to commission. The idea
Is not entirely new. IT Is a suggestion
that has come from Kansas. but In that

from the policies that have been on trial.

edge or opportunity to know the mean

which the recent laws Of the state have
found their way upon the statute book.

Of leaving to the many the affairs Of the

Another Suggestion of "Perfdy.'

Representative Bailey of PENNSYLVANIA,
who helped draft the Baltimore platform,
lectures his party on the subject of econ
orny. He fears that IL may prove TO be
As extravagant in office as the republic
cans were. And vet i'm its platform it de-
nounced the republicans on that score.
What is the meaning OF the large rev.
cnue that will be raised by the Under
wood tariff measure? What but pur-
pose 70 continue the republican scale of

In calling attention TO the matter. Mr..
Bailey SAYS that the country took the
economy pledge seriously, and declares
that unless the President and the Con-
greSs make good on IT, I'VE shall be
called upon to pay pretty sprce next
year for our perfidy.'
Note that word "perfidy Mr. CIeve-
land applied il 10 his party for its re
fusal TO meet his ideas as TO tariff re-
vision. and bitter row resulted. Mr.
Bailey Is not as powerful a man as Mr.
Cleveland was. but perfidy is a strong
word coming from any source. and if it
Is introduced in the debates when Con-
gress reaches the supply bills a commo-
ton may be caused.
Mr.. Bailey has said too much. or too
little But as he has spoken he should
complete his lecture. If material reduc-
tonS should be made in the republican
figures, let him specify. Where should
the pruning knife be applied? Shipping
a little here and little there would
not answer. If under republican control
there has been q too luxuriant growth of
expenditures and the time has come for
excision. he should mark the places.

try if rhetoricians were not designated to

The amount of the annual waste of the

The Study Of History.
