Harvest Time and the School.
From the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
The plan of closing the schools in sum-
mer survives from the time when the
children were needed to help about the
hayinG. 1t is a system primarily fitted to
country conditions. whic.. transferred to
the city, can become not only useless but
mschievous-a fact long ago recognized
by the school authorities in the more edu-
cationally advanced cities and. in many
instances. remeded by the opening OF
vacation schools. These ranged from
informal instruction by few teachers
hired. it may be. by private philanthropic
agencies. to organized school work engi-
neered by the official department. When
they were first tried in Boston the first
thing that happened was that the young
sters. who had whooped with glee at the
end of June with the idea of getting out
of school. came back early in July for
the good and sufficient reason that they
had a better time in school than out of it.
Thus the pronouncement of Commissioner
Claxton of the federal bureau of educa-
ton that the practice of closing the public
schools in summer is primitive and pre-
posterous' is not the news in this COM
munitS that it would be il the experiment
of summer schools had not been tried and
was not going to be tried again, for a
project is in the works for a renewal of "A
comprehensive scheme of summer instruc-
ton which it is hoped may be put into
effect during the coming season.

A District Champion.

1t is refreshing to hear a speech on
| District affairs delivered in the House of
| Representatives so logical. SO fair. SO
accurate as that of Representative Hayes
| of California, which he injected into the
debate on the fortitications bill yester-
day. Since the Crisp bill is still pending
in the House, with a favorable report
from the District committee, this ut
terance is timely and valua BILE. II was a
rare exhibition of information and under
standing and the District is to be con-
graduated upon this accession to tho
ranks of its supporters and defenders in
the House.
In the brief time allotted to him yes
day Representative Hayes compacted a
mass of information which it is to be
hoped his fellow members will digest
He presented the true aspect of the ma
tional city. briefly sketching the early
struggles and demonstrating that the
enactment in 1878 was in the way of an
adjustment of difficulties arising from
the long neglect by the United States of
the city which it created for its own
purposes on a scale far beyond that
which the community, as a self-develop-
ing city. could afford to maintain.
Especial emphasis is to be laid upon
that passage in Mr.. Hayes speech i'll
which he sets forth the view taken at
the time of the enactment of 1878 by
members of the House and Senate, who
recognized that the occasion had come
for a definite settlement of responsible
ties. It is important also to lay stress,
as Mr.. HAYES did. upon the fact that
the Supreme Court has in a decision de-
clared that the legislation of 1878 is an
organic act and that lit is the con-
stitution of the District"
There is no reasonable answer to any
OF the propositions so strongly laid down
by Representative Hayes. He has stated
a fundamental truth and has givan un-
deniablc facts and figures in support OF
it, The duty of Congress is to continue
to regard the National Capital as fed
eral responsibility, and if any new adj
justment is found to be desirable 1t
should be undertaken only after the most
thorough examination of all the equities
and the fairest possible consideration OF
the interests of all concerned.

Good Work for the National Guard

and that the co-operat ton of the citizens

fact that Representative Kahn not only
recognizes. but states emphatically In his
talks before the local civic bodies He
has always worked for the guards in

matters. Just at present there is a serious
menace TO the guards welfare in the
elimination from the House appropriation

Villa.

a correspondent of the New York
Tribune takes that newspaper to task
for characteriZing Pancho Villa as
bandit. and indulges in praise of the man
for the work he is now doing. AS if to
clinch his point. the correspondent adds:
.-In all your life did you ever hear of
a bandit who was both teetotaler and
Il prohibitionist? In every town or city
he captures the saloons are Immediately
closed and the best discipline possible
maintained.
Evidently this individual has never
heard of Jesse James, who was a sober
man at all times He had TO he. In
order to keep his head on his shoulders
literally. he had to keep it there figura-
lively. If he had been "lusher' and
carouser he could not have gone far. So
briefly was essential TO calculation and
execution.
And when he took possession of a town
or village his men had. and obeyed. or
ders. Any one who had left his post for
a visit to a barroom would have been
shot upon his return.
The same is true OF the professional
gambler. His head must always be clear
Rum is for the fellow sitting opposite;
and the more of II that fellow imbbes
the better the gambler is pleased. and the
sooner he comes into possession of the
coin.
That Villa is a bandit admits of no
doubt, and that he is a teetotaler. If he
is. is not at all important. The impor-
tant point relates to what figure he will
cut in affairs II the men with whom he
Is cooperating win. What will the bandit
demand for himself? What will he do IL
refused? What will be the effect on the
new order of things If his wishes are
granted? How will the outside world be
Impressed with government of which
he is one of the props?
In this man Carranza has found a
rough~ II valuable. tool Eilla knoHa the
