By KENDRICK SCOFIELD.

Washington schools are permitting q
vast amount Of educational material to
20 to waste. Hardly q night in the
winter season but what some lecturer.
an authority upon the subject he dis
cnsses, is booked for appearance in the
city. Often the audience which gath
ers to listen to such experts is COM
posed Of not moro than a score Of mild
ly interested patrons. although many of
these lectures are free. Every now and
then the Government arranges instruc-
tive scientific and Industrial exhibits,
questions OF general public interest.
And Allan Davis. principal Of the Busi-
nese High School. to whom this waste
OF information has presented an i'm
portant question. has instituted a ma
chinery by which the boys Of his school
will be enabled to take ADVANTAGE of
these Informative sources.
Principal Davis realized that II would
be a useless and thankless task to urge
his pupils to attend the lectures and
exhibits, because. in the very nature of
. schoolboy's life, his time for such
devoting % much Of his waking hours
to tho preparation of his current
studies.

But Mr.. Davis has overcome this OBJ
stacle. And his manner Of circumvent-

Club Of the Business High School
The Visiting Club Is an organization
strictly representative Of the 1900 pu-
pills in the school. It is composed of
one delegate from each Of the forty
t-- Al
week elected their officers and execu-
tive committee. Calvert E. Buck, a
graduate Of an academic high school,
but now at Business. was named
president: Wade Downing. of the
sterns James C WiE.. and and cha2ies nfss
A. Parker as members Of the executive
committee. The club will meet on al
The activities OF the waiting Club
the lecture and exhibit field Of Wash
ington. One Of the club members will
be assigned to each lecture during the
coming winter. It will be his duty to
attend and submit a brief. compre-
hensive report: to the club. Copies Of
his report Of the lecture. or of the ex-
hibit, as the case may be, will be
posted upon tho bulletin board of tho
school. available for the inspection Of
all other pupils and members Of tho
faculty.
To Compile Reports.
Once a month. at a general assembly
of the school. a compilation of these
reports will be submitted. Mr.. Davis
said:
1t has always seemed to me that
the waste Of good educational ma
terial. so far as the schools Of
Washington are concerned, is with
out excuse. Almost every lecture
given hero will contain some point
of interest for the high school pu-
pills of the city. The gist or
discussion on vocational training.

BAD Air and Unhyyisnic clsthinC

70 ne 1ditsr sf the Mali Bag:
Tns other afternoon I went to the
matinee. and after the first act real
issd that the air was close enough to
out with . knife. There were no ushers
20 receive . complaint, and thinking
that little air would BE- welcomed by
everyone In the audience took ,h.
liberty of raising one of the windows
Along the side aisle about four inches.
Immediately after doing this. there
were disgruntled remarks from s>yerai

THE COTTON POOL.

The closing of the cotton pool,
with full subscriptions to the fund of
Sl35,000,000 to be used in the South
as bank loans to planters and 9TH
ers having cotton of great value but
unable to market their cotton at
once, is not nearly of the Importance
now it was few weeks ago when
the plan was first undertaken.
The agreement of the belligerent
powers that cotton is not contraband
and therefore may go wherever it is
safe for a neutral ship to sail is
more important. The opening of the
cotton markets through the resump-
ton Of the exchange transactions is
vastly more important.
Those two events have guaranteed
TO the owners of cotton the markets
for the sale of the staple, there never
having been doubt that consumers
wanted cotton as much as ever if
only they were able to get it.
No cotton pool could make a gen
eral market if all the exchanges
were closed. No cotton pool could
put cotton into foreign ports block
AIDED by battleships.
A cotton pool could help the owner
of cotton to carry it, but it wouldn't
do him any good to carry it till
doomsday if there couldn't be any
markets.
The best thing about the cotton
pool was that it recognized that the
world would not go naked, war or no
war; that the consumption of cot
ton would continue as before, and
that, therefore, one way or another
cotton markets would have to be re-
opened to the cotton growers; so
tAss il they got financial assistancs

NOT GUILTY.

England, according to the news
dispatches, has just made Greece a
loan of $s,O0O,O00 with which to
build some additional men-of-war.
Whether or not the European
chancelleries knew anything Of the
imminence of war and had long been
secretly preparing for it or still
more secretly inviting it will some
day appear. 1t will be the one real
historical question Of the coming
generation.
Doubtless the chancelleries, in case
they did not know anything about 1t,
have taken abundant pains to cover
up their tracks. The final verdict
will rest on hairsplitting interpre-
tations Of musty documents, isolated
sentences, significant dates; its
structure will be built of fragmen-
tary bits of circumstantial evidence,
laboriously garnered from the four
corners Of the world.
Imagine, then, the delight Of the
forthcoming archivist, working in a
perfect maze of contradictory evi-
dence, when he runs across the alibi
this country has unconsciously pre-
pared for itself! The presence Of one
red string in a tangle Of black WON
derfully assists the untangling. Was
there ever redder string than that

Act As Clearing House.
OF course these are but few ap-
plicaticns of the wide range Of sub
jects which will be found to bear a
direct relation to the things in which
the pupils of Washington are inter
ested.
The Visiting Club, as we call 1t
pending the choice Of an official
designation, will, we hope, become
an organization Of practical good to
the pupils, in that it can be made
to answer the purpose Of clearing
house for the great mass Of infor-
nation which, so far as the school
children are concerned, is now be-
ing absolutely wasted.
If the movements among tho boys
Of the school proves to be a sue
cess, it Is quite probable that a
visiting club for the girls will b
organized to watch sources Of infor-
nation along the lines of domestic
science, housekeeping, and kindred

New Scheme To Please Smokers.

wish to suggest an experiment which
the Public Utilities Commission might
try out this winter. one that would
please the smokers, satisfy the fresh

those who suffer from the vasaries of
the latter. My plan IT to have ths

would put the fresh air pests whers
