planned how the present board had en-

principles, for the expenditure Of public
money to the end Of attaining the great
est public benefit.
An elaborate welcome had been planned
for Mr.. Newman. The meeting, which
was an open one. was held in the town
hall OF Congress Heights, and many resi-
dents of Anacostia, Southeast Washing

were present Besides Commissioner New

dress was as follows:
we decided first that we would en-
deavor to find out from the citizens as
sociations just what each community
considered necessary in the way of street
improvements. We decided that We would
ask the associations to take US on trips
CT inspection OF each neighborhood, SO
that 1t could be pointed out to us just
what was needed. Our idea was that we
would obtain. first, whatever organized
public opinion there was, and. second,
that we would see with our own eyes
Just what was wanted and hear with our
own ears Just why II was wanted.
I'VE began carrying out this policy
very blitheiy and full of hopes and high
purposes, but. after making six or seven
inspection trips with representatives Of
citizens associations, We found that u
was going to be physical imposstbility
TO cover the District in that way. We,
therefore, did what We believed was the
next best thing-we asked the associa-
lions to submit to us in writing. the i'm
provements which they wished to recon-
mend In the order of their Importance
or need. When we had received prac-
ticaIly a complete list OF such recon-
covering practically the en-
tire District. we had made single COM

and familiarizing ourselves with the con-
dition in each neighborhood.
with the written memoranda contain
ing the recommendations of the associa-
tons in our hands, and with a picture
of the conditions themselves in our
minds, we sat down and prepared our
recommendations to Congress
AT that point in our work We evolved
another principle OF procedure, and that
was as to which streets we should Sc
iect to recommend for Improvement The
principle agreed upon and followed was
this: First, that we would recommend
for Improvement those squares in which
the improvement of private property was
complete or practically complete. That
is, Il we found a block built up with
houses on both sides of the street, occu-
pied, and in use by the people who owned
or rented those houses, We recommended
that that block he paved. The feeling We
had about il was that there Is absolutely
no reason why a street which is COM
pletely. or practically completely, occu-
pied should not have the best possible
improvement.
Another principle which we followed
in a few cases was that Of recommend
ing for Improvement certain streets
which, although not completely built up

through traffic from one community TO
another. In some of those cases there
has been a block recommended for i'm
provement which was not a finished
street. so far as residents are concerned,
but street whose Improvement was
considered necessary because Of through
travel upon it.
Following these two principles, We
found that In almost all cases our rec
concentrations were the same as the rec
concentrations of the citizens of the vari-
Gus neighborhoods, demonstrating con-
clusively to US that the attitude Of the
citizens is eminently fair and in no sense
selfish.
No Real Estate Exploitation.
Il think you will be glad to know an
other result of adherence to this street
policy on our part. When
we got all through making up our sched
ule Of streets to be recommended for i'm
provement, we found that there was not
one foot Of Improvement recommended in
which the expenditure Of the public
funds for that Improvement would result
in benefits to any speculative real estate
dealer. II Congress follows our recon-
as to street improvements, 1t
win not be possible to point to a single
dollar Of the appropriation as having
been made or expended for purposes of
real estate exploitation. The basis OF
our recommendations will be found to
be the actual needs of actual residents
OF each block. 1 also believe that II
Congress follows our recommendations 1t
will be impossible for any section Of the
city to feel that 1t has been discrimi-
mated against to its disadvantage and

President Wilson outlined his trust

He believes that personal penalties ap-
Piled to those who violate the antitrust
laws will stop combinations and individ-

He opposes any amendments to the

amendment would throw that law again

ton and three years would pass before
there would be a ruling

Chairman Clayton. with his delegation
told the President that no bill could be

that all members of the House proposing

To Hear Corporation Men.
Samuel Untermyer, of New York, who
conferred with Chairman Clayton a week

MONDAY, APRIL II, 1918.
THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

Every person in Fargo who has a
vote should cast it tomorrow in the
school election. This is one Of the
most vital propositions touching the
welfare of the city that has been up
for solution in years. and every voter
owes 1t to himself and the community
to express his opinion at the polls.
The Forum believes the people Of
Fargo as a whole are well satisfied
with the schools as they have been
conducted and built up during the
past seven years by Superintendent
Hoover. The schools are run in the
interests of all the people and not Of
any set or class of people. The child
who is backward receives special at
tention n as a result the children
able average of efficiency as COM
pared to the average Of other schools
of the country.
With the schools in this excellent
condition, with teachers, superinten-
dent and scholars working in splen-
did harmony and getting remarkable
results. it is proposed to make a
change. BY an unusual circumstance
the question is put before the voters
for solution.
The schools are now conducted
along practical lines to fit the chill
dren Of the people for practical work
in life. DO the voters Of Fargo want
a change? Is a return to the old
chaoti condition prevalent prior TO
the time Mr.. Hoover took up the
work here desirable? Any change IS
an experiment and such a change
would undoubtedly disrupt the schools
and might result in the old chaotic
conditions. Think it over and be sure

BACKWARD CHILD,

The following editorial from The
Nashville Tennessean entitled. The
Problem Of the Backward Student, is
Of special interest to F~'argoans at
present:
Every school teacher is confronted
with the problem OF the mentally de-
lectiVe child n it's education. These
chlIdren range from the very slow of
hought down to stupidity so dense
that the child Is not able 10 keep up =
semolanCe of progress III the same
class as his companions. Incidentally
II might be remarked that the prog
ress OF the class Is too often gauged
by the ability of the brighter punIIs
which of course prohIblls the slower
STUDENTS from doing more than drag
along. A few schools give special at
tentlon TO the differences in mental
equipment, doing more thar merely
allowing the backward student to drup
back to a lower grade when the race
mas become too hopeless for further
worry.
1t is estimated that in New York
CITY public schools there are about
1000 mentally defective children. and
Including the border line cases and
the morally defective, 5000 more.

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

1t Is stated on reliable authority that
Ed Manning of this city and Charley
Ulmer of Lisbon, are responsible for a
very familiar song.
Away back in the early sos the two
were hunting down about Bismarck on
what is known as the island. They
didn't care much what they were after,
so long as they got a crack at a deer.
They had wandered about the great
er part Of the day and were together
In the woods, when it was growing
dark. Early in the afternoon they had
secured a young buck deer and were
Juggling it with them as they wendell
their way out of the forest.
Suddenly there was Il crashing in
the woods not 100 yards from them
and they saw a black looking object
jogging by.
It's a bear. It's a bear they both
sCreeChed, and they kept it up as they
ran.
They left the venison, their guns and
everything else, but after a time re-
turned and of course the bear, If that's
what it was, had gone. That is why
twenty-five years after the bear song
was given to the public.
