Army Offensive Weak.

West Point: n. Y. Oct 23.-Head Coach
DAILY gave the Army a fOrty-five-minUte
scrimmage drill with the scrubs today,
during which the plays TO be used in the
game against Tufts were rehearsed, The
Army's offensive play did not appear very
strong. as the regulars were unable to
score against a strong scrub combination.
Hooker, Boots. and Hodgsou were the
first string of backs, Hobbs and Benedict
resting on account of injuries.
The hospital list was swelled today by
the addition of Wynne and Merrillat.
Rand was back for a short time at
tackle. Meacham continues TO do good
work at the guard position where Hus-
ton belongs regularly. The latter was
only in the scTimmagins for a few
minutes. The nearest the varsity came
TO scoring was when Hooker got around
Hanly's end for a 2O-yard run to the
scrubs l5-yard line.
The regulars yielded the ball on downs,
and the chance (or score went glim-
mering. DAILY ID work his men hard
tomorrow in another forty-five minute
miX-Up. No measures will be left un-
done to strengthen the Armys play, for
all hands realize that Tufts looks as
dangerous as Colgate did a week ago.

The Suffrage Parade.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
Over sixty congressman have promised
to march In the suffrage parade at Wash
ington March g. Mrs. knute Nelson. wife
of the senator from Minnesota, Will
march, in this case, as representative
Of Norway. where she was born, and
where women vote. The nine states
where women have equal rights with men
will send a notable marching contingent.
Such a parade will help prepare the con-
servative eastern mind for a new order
Of things. 1t needs preparation, for wom-
an suffrage is not one OF those move
ments which can be halted or turned
back. Before the next Inauguration Of a
President the suffragists hope to carry at
least one Of the original thirteen states.
Within a generation the states where
women do not vote will be mere islands
In the suffrage sea-and perhaps there
won't be any islands. Women will vote;
but the world will not be "feminized.'
II will not lose the manly virtues" On
the contrary. with questions like suf-
frage out Of the way, the real differences
between the sexes are likely to show out
more clearly than before.

the statute books In the manner proposed.
Yesterday a meeting of public school
girls was held in this city under the aus
pices of the woman's welfare department.
of the National Civic Federation, for the
particular object of arousing their in
terest In the plan to throw open the
public school buildings for the benefit of
all the people. As result of this en-
deavor it is hoped to establish the fact
that a public sentiment exists in the Dis
trict In favor of a wider and more eco
nomical use of the school plant. II
through this work the schools can be put
to fuller use. If they can be utilized for
the delivery Of lectures and educational
entertainments. under the supervision of
the authorities at no expense to the gov
ernment. and If they can be employed as
branches OF the public library, which
was established as an adjunct to the
local educational system, the District will
have gone ahead a long way toward not
only general enlightenment but toward the
solution of some of the vexing social
problems.
The benefits to be derived by the COM
munity from the use of the schools for
general public advancement are manifest.
In every neighborhood are hundreds of
young people who after darkness falls are
not only unoccupied. but in their seeking
for pleasure are thrown into dangerous
associations. The night schools do not
meet this need 1t is not study that IT,
majority Of these young people want. 1t
is some kind of wholesome recreation and
diversion. and if that can be given in the
form of instructive lectures. close to their
homes. they will be benefited both men,
tally and morally. The item for the open
ing of the schoolhouses to the public
should by all means be adopted
Evening star., 1913-02-11
Use the Schoolhouses

The average schoolhouse represents a
heavy economic waste. 1t has cost a
large sum OF money for land and building
and equipment. and is used to only about
25 per cent OF it's capacity. Any business
corporation getting out of its plant the
percentage OF use that the municipality
gets out OF its schools would soon become
bankrupt. During practically every night
I of the year and during many entire days
the houses are idle, OF no value whatever
to the community, while the people are in
need OF instruction and recreation and
entertainment which might readily be af-
forded II these buildings were put to
: their full use.
A bill Is now pending in Congress to
) enable the local authorities to employ the
school buildings for general public educa-
tional purposes. under proper regulations
There is little chance in the present con.
dition OF the congressional work to ge,
this bill through both houses as a sepa.
rate measure. but despite the action oi
q the House in vigorously stripping the ap.
preparation bin OF all items not strictly
of a continuing character. there Is hope
that this meritorious proposition may bt
