saving Waste Products.

From Nations Business.
1t will be read with interest, and pos
sbly with some doubt, that the Navy
Department has gone into the scrap
metal business. But it is true, neverthe-
less, and never was illustrated more
forcibly the truth that much lies in small
things. Formerly a great deal of scrap
metal was wasted or else sold unseg-
regated and hence at a fraction of its
real value. A similar condition existed
with reference to- other waste products.
They were not considered capable of be-
ing used. But now this is changed.
Scrap metals are carefully gathered and
sold after segregation and classifi-
ton. or else are sent to boundaries to be
reworked by commercial smelters and
then returned to the government to be
further utilized. And other by-products
are as carefully watched and handled
after their kind. The result has been to
bring absolute waste to what is called by
the diplomats IAN irreducible minimum
A scrap expert is employed by the Navy
Department whose sole duty is to SUPER
intend salvage operations of this nature.
The saving thus effected throughout the
entire naval establishment, covering as
il does practically the whole world in its
operation, is a large one. The leaks were
comparatively small at any one station,
but the total was great.

having considerably receded, the river
was only about five feet deep. The

Educators Here May Adopt
Plan Now IN Vogue in
Prep Schools and Some
Universities.
BY JOSEPH r. HARRIS.

Is the standard Of morals in respect
to general honesty In application to
work in the high schools of the District
Of Columbia improving. deteriorating
or is it going along on the same low
level as in previous years? If it is de-
teriorating, or if there is still room for
improvement, what is the remedy?
AS to the first question. educators
connected with the high schools are
unanimous in the opinion that mas
much as such things as cheating and
general dishonesty are being correct
ed to such an extent that a great i'm
provement is noted each year, yet there
is still room for much improvement in
this line. The old system of attempt
ing to impress on the student that
honesty is the-best policy, while it has
ameliorated conditions somewhat, has
not accomplished what it might.
AS for the remedy, All honor system
seems to be the only recourse. While
the high school principals are not
agreed as to the success Of such an
institution. yet there is a certain feel
ing of conviction among several Of
them that this would be plan worthy
of trial.
|. Honor systems are in vogue in thir-
teen universities and in several pre-
paratory schools in this country and
they have been administered with
great success. OF course the untver
stiles greatly outnumber the prep
schools, but this is because the honor
system is a matter OF student govern
ment, and this form of government
has not been practiced in prep schools
as much as in universities
DR.. William NJ. Davidson, superinten-
dent of schools in the District, asserts
that the success of student govern
ment and the honor system depends
entirely on the spirit in which the
principal and faculty of the high
schools would go into the matter. II
The Washington herald., 1913-04-27

There Is little reason 10 believe that
the honor system in the high schools
could not be developed as extensively
as the one at Virginia. At the South
ern institution. the spirit OF honor pre-
walls not only in the classroom, but
IL has extended itself to every phase of
student life. ard even to the entire
city of Charlottesville. Afer pro-
fessor gives a class an examination. he
leayes the classroom and does not re-
turn. Talking is heard now and then,
but 1t does not pertain to-the- examina-
ton. Honor is held too high.
The benefits. that the honor system
would confer would affect the faculty
to a great extent besides the students.
1t does away with the eagle-like
watching by professors during exam
nations. This In itself is important,
for when students are watched they
are expected to cheat When they are
left alone they are expected to be hon
est.
By not having to keep close vigil
over class during examinations, a
better feeling between faculty and stu
dents Is promoted. When an instruc-
tor watches class closely, students.
in a majority of cases are under the
impression that they are considered
dishonest, and mortals naturally dis
like one who accuses them of dishon-
esty. The honor system not only
makes students honest during their
school days. but its spirit and infiu-
ence is carried into the world after
school days. No better proof of this
statement Is to be found than an al
umnus Of the University of Virginia.
A. T.. Stuart former superintendent
of schools, declared AN honor system
patterned after the one at the Univer-
sity Of Virginia but with a milder form
of punishment. for violators, Is splen-
did plan and one worthy Of trial.
There is nothing ] like to see so much
as something that will put a boy or
girl on his or her HONOR High school
boys and girls have about as high a
sense Of honor as older university people.
and IL approached, properly the project
should be a success"
In the interim all the high school
principals are considering seriously the
Introduction Of such system. All
have thought of it deliberately, and it
would not be at all surprising If one
high school at least would start its
next scholastic yeaf with something
that would improve its standing as
school so per cent.

Then came the carriage Of the four

day-best embroidery. Thus Travelled the
noble lady, slim i'm form, tightly clad
in a dress which outlined every curve of
the body "a hobble, in fact. and tits over
500 years since), her long, slender hands
caressing the favorite dog or bird. The
knight, equally frightened in his cote
hardie, regarded her with a complacent
eye. and, if he knew good manners, OPEN
ed his heart TO his dreamy companion in
long phrases like those in the romances.
The broad forehead of the lady, who has
perhaps coquettishly plucked off her eye
brows and stray hairs, a process about
which satirists were indignant, brightens
up at moments, and her smile is like a
ray OF sunshine. Meanwhile, the axles

vances by fits and starts, descends into
the hollows, bounds altogether at the
bitches. and falls violently back with a
dull noise.
