IN SOUTHERN WOMAN'S KEEPING
Marshall
Dedicated to the Daughters of the Confederacy

Peacefully, calmly, Hero Dead
Beneath the green sod sleeping;
Shoulder to shoulder with steady tread,
They marched to death-our deathless dead
And left but the weeping.
Calamity, bravely, they met the foe,
Outnumbered by countless hosts
They died de-God wied it
That their might set with an afterglow
And hushed be the sound of weeping.
All surely the peerage of the Brave
Is the right of these Southern men;
Yet the God of Battles strong to
Let them die-our gallant who gave
Their honor to woman's keeping
Die, did say? Nay, they have not died,
These Sons of the Starry Cross;
They overwhelmed by the surging tide,
And the glory of it spreads far and wide,
While the women their trust are keeping.
Hail to you mothers of glorious men!
All hail to you daughters and wives!
Honored were ye among women when
These noble these true these dauntless men,
Left their record to your keeping.

PLAN FOR CENSUS
OF MANUFACTURES
Director Harris Believes Result
Will Be a Record Breaker.
Replies to Criticisms.

Preparations are being made by the
Census Bureau for the forthcoming CEN
sus of manufacturers which begins early
in 1915. Director Harris, Of the Census
Bureau. believes that this census will
be a record-breaker. both in respect to
the value Of the statistics obtained. and
in respect to the promptness with which
the results will be placed before the
public. AS a preparation for the work
an index card list of all the manufac-
turing establishments Of the United
States is being made up.
Director Harris has replied to criticism
Of delays in census work by declaring
that with the exception Of one volume
and a few bulletins, all the results Of
the thirteenth census were published be-
fore or within q few days after the
close Of the year 1913. The remaining
volume relating to occupations, he de-
clares, is in a sense a special report OF
the kind which the bureau ordinarily
publishes during the intervals between
the decennial censuses.
The current work Of the bureau has
not been neglected in any way, Mr.. Har-
ris says in order to carry on special
compilations or analytical studies OF
data obtained earlier. Such studies and
compilations are useful, but are not, the
director says, allowed to hinder the
work on the current INQUIRIES.

\ SCHOOL PRESS AGENT.

1t is easy to imagine the outburst
# denunciation that will go up from
certain quarters if ever an appropri-
alton item appears in legislation,
purposing to pay the expense of
r.,aintaining a press agent for the
public school system. Recently we
have been privileged to read in the
Record the protests of one Congress
nan who didn't want the Depart
ment of Agriculture to spend any
money giving the results OF its work
to the public. To him, the man who
takes the useful results Of scientific
and economic experimentation,
translates it into popular phrase and
prepares it for circulation among the
PEOPLE who need to apply it in their
busincss. represents shcec waste.
To that sort of an intellect doubt
less, the idea of a press agent for
he public schools would be Particr-
larly scandalous. Why should the
public want to know about the
schools? Nobody goes to the schools
nobody except everybody's chill
dren. Nobody has any business be
ing interested in the schools nobody
except the parents and other rela-
lives, and the pupils themselves. No
lody comes out of the schools-Do-
hody except the boys and girls who
will be the men and women of few
Years hence. Nobody has any money
invested in the schools, to justify an
interest in them-no5oay except the
whcic community.
There is no department of news
and information, touching the activi-
ties of public facilities, that inter-
ests so many people as the work OF
he schools. The people want to
Enow about the schools, they are en-
titled to know about them. The
schools would be better for a wider
public knowledge and interest in
hem. But without doubt the effort
ntelligently and effectively to give
such information to the public would
arouse the antagonism of those econ
onists who don't believe in public
schools, anyhow. 1t is not difficult to
imagine Congressman Campbell, who
seems to think voting is good deal
IF a nuisance and 4 delusion any
low, viewing with alarm a proposal
to inform the public about its
schools.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
In justice to tax-paying citizens ana

Of whom have bona fide legal claims
against the Government Of the United

There are three omnibus bills which

which Is a small per cent Of the -FOUR

Spanish war claims and overtime due

and a large number Of legal claims are

NO WHITE HOUSE NO. 2.

The suggestion by Representative
Levy that the United States buy
Thomas Jefferson's old home in Vir-
Ginia and use it as "the home--the
Virginia home-of the Presidents
and maintain it for their occasional
occupation" needs some better argu-
mcnt than Mr.. Levy has advanced.
He is willing, it appears, to sell
the property for 100000, but he
does not want it to become a mere
museum. ContendIng that he has
spent 4 million dollars on it, he
ayers that selling it for 100000
would make him "more than half
donor" as he expresses it, and he
wants to have something to say
about the use to which it should be
Dut by the prospective buyer.
It occlus to US that the most i'm
pnrtant thing 10 he considered in
this proposition is the penalty it
would impose upon Presidents. A
President has one official residence
and Office. There he swings from
the work Of Cabinet meetings, mes
Aess. treaties, and the million de-

been worked out in sections where
these homes are located.
While the idea does not offer an
economical solution Of the city's
housing needs it has proved an emil
nently practical alleviaticn of the
stress occasioned by the compara-
lively few opportunities for Wash
ington's workingmen to rent sani-
tary, ventilated, and comfortable
homes at a reasonable rate.
The present application of this
work of many years standing lies in
the fact that these women are anx-
ious to demonstrate ,wha. they be-
lieve to be a possible solution Of the
new problem raised by the passage
of the bill eliminating alley hcmes.
They assert that homes of this sort
offer paying investment to private
firms if alleys can be opened into
minor streets. Many alleys afford
such an opportunity. And their DEM
cnstration of present housing work
is preliminary to legislation which
will permit such construction, thus
providing, on the one hand, ade-
quate housing for present alley in
habitants, and offering a fair re-
muneration for the owners of alley
property who now foresee a heavy
loss in their investments.

G. w. u. Medical School
Ranks Third in Country

The Medical School Of George Wash
ington University ranks third in a
group of 10l of the foremost medical
institutions of the country according
to statistics just submitted to the board
of rustees by DIR. william Cline Bor-
den. dean Of the school.
The dean reports that 96.s per cent OF
the graduates pass the examinations for
admission to medical practice. This
marks a decided improvement within
the past few years. Five years ago the
percentage was IS per cent. and that
record at the time was considered re-
markably high
The only medical schools out Of the
lo1 principal institutions selected for
comparison that have higher percen-
tages of success at admission examina-
tions are the Rush Medical College and
the University of Wisconsin Medical
School.
Being a member of the American Med
ical Association. the school requires
students to have a year of college work
before being admitted to the medical
course. Sixteen students have regis
tered in the freshman class. and 1t Is
expected the number will be increased
to about twenty within the next few
weeks.

PRACTICAL HOUSING
HELPS.

In the midst of much conversation
about the alley situation for the last
few years, one practical effort has
been made TO meet the peculiar hous-
ing problem of the Capital City.
That is the "philanthropy at 5 per
cent" project fostered BY the Wash
ington Sanitary Housing Company.
Attention at this time is called to
The project hy the opening of a new
group of two-family model houses
or South Capitol avenue. On Fri
day Mrs. Archibald Hopkins and
Mrs. Ernest Bicknell, of the woman's
department of the National Civic
Federation, are to receive in one of
these houses. The occasion will af-
ford an opportunity for inspection
Ct the homes provided by this COM
pany, designed principally for fam
lilies of workingmen who earn less
than $3.50 per day.
The plan of the Sanitary Hous-
ing Company, and of the earlier cor
poratior along similar lines, the
Washington Sanitary Improvement
Company, was simple. Dividends are
limited to per cent. The capital is
used in constructing model homes,
to be rented at low rates, and the
woman's department of the National
Civic Federation has 90 operated in
the placing of families in these
homes and in collections of rents.
The early company has invested
about 81 100000 in .? houses and a
number of two-flat houses. After
the subscription of the full capital
CT the first company the second was
formed, and it already mas seventy
two fiat houses.
The control of the rental of these
properties by the woman's depart
nent of the Civic Federation has
made possible the enlistment of the
aid of other social service agencies
in community welfare work. Many
experiments in vocational education,
and In recreational facilities, have

In addition to this work and play
for acknowledgment the Washing
ton branches are educating ono
young woman for missionary work,
contributing largely toward missions,
rendering aid to a number Of specific
cases Of needy children, and per-
forming other services for rheir
parishes.
Each year the District Diocesan
Council has a meeting Of two or
three days. Reports from branches
are received at this time, special
services for all members Of the So
ciety are held. and out Of town
speakers Of prominence in the gen.
eral society's work come here to
talk to the Washington girls.
Branches of the society are under
a secretary, appointed by the rector
Of the parish in which they are
working. Members, known as as
sociates, perform the functions of
teachers or leaders of the work.
There usually is one of these to
each group of ten active members.
Members under fourteen years are
known as candidates. and special
attention is given to instructing them
In the ideals and purposes of the So
ciety in which they later are to be-
come active members.
Miss Marion oliver is president of
the society Of this city. During her
absence in Europe, Mrs. Grahame

supporting members of the society
whose homes are not In this city.
Is removed as far as possible from
institutional ideas. The matron In
charge waits each evening until
every girl has returned before she
retires. The one rule of the lodge
is that each girl shall tell where her
evenings are spent. Instead Of being
annoyed by this requirement, one

The holiday house Is a vacation re-
sort, located near Silver Spring, Md.
1t Is conducted along the general
lines of vacation camps, except that
there. too. the principle of family
life is maintained. Girls may spend
one or two weeks there in the sum-
mer for a nominal sum.
Though the society Is controlled by
the Episcopal Church, and its organ
ization is based on the diocesan d.
visions Of that church. membership
is not confined to any denomination.
In each branch Christian teaching Is
given, but this Is not tinged by any
denominational dogma Bear We one
another's burdens is the society:
motto. and conformation to the aims
and ideals of the organization Is the
only requirement for membership.
In Washington there are fifteen
branches Of the society. distributed
among as many parishes. In each
case the parish house Is the place Of
W, akly meetings. These meetings.
lasting about two hours. are divided
into periods of work and play. The
society has been especially success
fuI In adapting these branches to the
needs of the parishes in which they
are located.
Less stress is placed on missionary
and social service work in those
branches where the girls are less
able to give their time to others.
