OF ADVANTAGE TO Bo1H.

Clarence A. Perry. Of the Sage Foundation,
has reported for the United states bureau Of
education that 33S schools in 1ll cities are be
Ing used as "soeisI ceuters. In these school
buildings the citizens meet for various educa-
tional and political purposes listening 10 lee
lures and addresses on questions OF general in.
terest Tie schools are not devoted exclusively
to the children, but are used also by the patrons
The Tjrgtnjan would Ike TO see Richmond
get in line with those cities which use their
public school buildings as social centera. Mr..
Perry's report includes among the communities
having school house social eenters those having
one Of its buildings thrown open on one or more
nights each week for at least twelve weeks
year for activities Of social, recreaNonal or
civic character, regularly directed by one or
more trained leaders"
A regular course conducted by trained work
ers or teachers would give the patrons Of the
school an opportunity for education and in
struction, now possessed exclusively by the
children
Money spent for the school buildings is par
TALLY wasted if those buildings are not used
as much as necessary What Richmond has
spent for her schools was needed. The neces-
sary buildings could not be erected for less
but, nevertheless, it is a waste not to the
buildings for other purposes. The auditorium
Of the John Marshall high school Is used occa-
sionally for lectures of educational value but
there is no reason why it should not be used
more frequently for this and other purposes.
Moreover the occasional presence Of the patrons
of the school at the buildings in which their
children spend so much Of their time would
do no harm On the contrary, ii would increase
the interest of the public in our schools and
make them feel that they are more than place
where the children are safe during the day and
out of mischief, and increased interest in the
public school system on the part OF the public
could have no other than a good effect Moral
as we'll as financial support is needed. No
public institution is going TO attain the highest
degree OF efficiency with so large a portion Of
the population exhibiting 50 little interest in its
success.
Bring the public schools home TO the people;
make them realize that ii IS their school system.
There is no better way to do it than by personal
contact More frequent use of the school build
ings will help the patrons and will help the

THE TURKISH REVOLUTION.

When, sometime ago, the Charlotte Observer
declared that the Balkan allies at the London
peace conference were basing their claims on
the ground OF fear of the People back home
and that the Turkish ENJOYS were Directing on
the merits of the case, The Vir0iniam made the
point that just the reverse was the case and
that it was the Turks who were afraid of how
the terms would be received by the people Of
the empire. They objected so seriously to sur.
rendering the sacred city" of Adrianope, we
said, because of the fear that revolution would
finally agreed to the surrender of the city and
the revolution has taken place. 1t lasted a
few hours and ended with the military party
in control of the government, the cabinet dis.
solved and another in its place and with the
death of Nazim Pasha.
The result is a probable continuation Of the
war, for the Young Turks, now in control. de-
clare they will never consent to the passing
Of Adrianople into the hands of the allies and
will preserve the sacred national honor Of the
Ottoman empire or perish in the attempt II
they regard the continued possession of Adrian
ople as necessary for the preservation of the
national honor" the probabilities are that the
Ottoman empire and the national honor will 20
down together, for the European powers have
given their moral support to the demands of
the allies and can hardly recede from that po-
sition. They may not lend armed aid to the
allies. as they should, but assuredly they can
not call off the dogs of war until the Balkan
states have captured Adrianople and forced the
Turks to sue for peace again The ability of the
Bulgarians and their allies to capture the city
is hardly open to question. At every point
the Bulgarians have shown themselves the
military superiors of the Turk and although 1t IS
believed that their full strength has already been
put forth 1t Is known that the other states have
not put into the plains Of Thrace anything like
all their available forces.
Military as we'll as moral support may be
lent by the powers, however. 1t is difficult to
foresee how Europe permit this war to con-
tinue any longer than necessary. For the first
time in history the powers have shown gim-
mer of enlightenment in dealing with the Near
Eastern question and 1t is not too much TO
hope that having committed themselves they
will see to it that their demands are needed.
Should this prove true and feet OF battle
ships be sent to the Bosphorus. Turkey would
not only lose Adrianope. but Constantinople
and every foot of ground in Europe in addi-
ton.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-01-25

Britain ana all other nations. the United States
included. would have been compelled to pay
higher rate, but when coastwise shipping is
included in the estimate the rate is just and
equitable 10 foreign nations because the amount
lost by cXempting eoastwise shipping must be
paid out Of the United States treasury and not
by foreign nations in the form of higher rates.
IN other words the rate of $125 on all the
tonnage, including the coastwise tonnage, would
pay for the canal and no foreign nation could
object TO the payment of this sum. The coast
wise shipping being exempted from the payment.
ttg amount CORRECTED will not pay Tor the canal
and the United States must pa the difference
and not the foreign nations, as they would in
case the rate were based upon all the tonnage
except that Of the vessels engaged In coastwise
trade
This, it seems to us, fully answers the con-
tentions Of Great Britain and leaves that nation
no ground upon which to base a demand for
arbitration, the question being solely one Of
internal import In plain words it is something
with which Great Britain has nothing to do.
Their rates are not increased the loss by ex-
emptlon being paid by the people of the United
States.
BEING an internal question The Vrgtnian
believes it should be settled by the United
States without reference to any foreign nation
and believes that Secretary Knox is right in
holding that it should not be arbtrated. It does
not believe, however. that vessels engaged in
coastWise trade should be exempted from the
payment Of tolls This nation has the right
to grant that exemption If it wishes and is
right in maintaining to the world that right,
but as matter Of eXpedency it should not
be done AS Secretary Knox points out in his
reply to Sir Edward Grey the British secretary
for foreign affairs the exemption of the coastwise
trade from tolls lis merely a subsidy granted
by the United States to that trade" This has
also been a contention Of The Virgtntdn and for
that reason it has opposed the exemption. while
UNFOLDING the right of the United States to give
it if it SO wills and denying the right of Great
Britain to make objection, so long as 1t was
done in such way as to work equity to all
nations II is a subsidy. pure and simple and
as such is in direct opposition to every prin-
ciple Of the Democratic party. There is no diff
ference in theory or in fact between renting
the tolls OF 1926 per ton to the coastwise vessels
and paying those vessels direct subsidy of
$l25 per ton. In either case the money comes
from the pockets of the people and goes to
the pockets of the shipowners.
