Derry St. U. B. Folk
Provide "White Gifts"
in Name of the King

One of the most impressive and at
the same time practical Christmas SER
vices held in this city during the Yule-
tide season was given last night by the
Sunday school of Derry Street United
Brethren Church, Fifteenth and Derry
streets.
white Gifts For the King" was the
name of the service and it was quite a
departure from the usual entertain
ment given by the little folk of most
Sunday schools in that the entire
school took part. The service was large
ly symbolic, the real practical end of
the work having been done during the
week. On Sunday, December 10, each
class took up a collection of money
and the funds were spent in providing
food and clothing for needy families
and charitable institutions. In some
homes a ton of coal mysteriously found
its way into a surprised coal bin that
was just yawning for filler At others
a rent receipt came through the mail
to a delightfully."- surprised widow who
was threatened with election by an
irate landlord. And so on and so
forth the good things were handed out.
Last evening on an altar decorated
in pure white and Christmas greens,
representatives from each class came
forth and laid a white package, SYM
bolic of the real gift, in the name
of the King. In all. the gifts amount
ed in cash to nearly $3.50. The music
was frightened by the singing of the
fashioned Christmas carols that
everyone knows and loves to sing.

month devoted to teaching good citi-
zenship in every public school.
Distributing flower seeds and Civ
ing prizes for the most attractive beds

protecting the birds and making
them feel at home among us.
"Only one line of work is taken up
at a time, and that line is never
dropped completely out of sight.
1T should be noted that every line
of work is calculated to inculcate
habits and develop character or senti-
ment. The domain of the civic club is
the kingdom of little things and the
proper aspirations of its members are
embodied in this sentiment:
If man write a better book, de-
velop a more beautiful poppy, or make
a better mouse trap. than his neighbor,
though he build his house in the
woods, the world will make beaten
path to his door.
What appeals to me as one of the
most beneficial and at the same time
one of the most interesting lines of
work for a civic club in nearly every
one of our West Shore communities is
the farming or gardening of vacant
lots. Next to incompetence, the va
cant lots are our greatest source of
waste: and they are fearful menace
stacle in the way of civic beauty.
Regardless of the decision of the
municipal planning experts and with
out waiting for their advice on mu-
nicipal affairs. the school boards of
this section should get together and
employ educational experts from a dis
tance to study the surroundings and
select a proper site for a joint high
school. In a school of this kind there
will be a supervisor of agriculture,
who. in addition to teaching the sub
ject in the high school, will assist the
local civic clubs in supervising the
farming of vacant lots and devote his
summer months to advising the
farmers.
I'm conclusion, let me plead for
broad and generous planning for the
West Shore communities. Let us re-
serve plenty of space for sunlight and
green grass: plenty of room for pure
air and recreation, and enough iso-
lation to admit of respectable privacy.
Let us plan for these things now. At
our present gait, ten years more of in
dependent. selfish planning and it will
be too late.

A Beautiful Memorial

A simple fountain has been erected
by the friends of two Americans who
went down in the Titanic disaster, to
the memory of Archibald Willingham
Butt-Major Archie Butt-and Fran
els David Millet. Major Butt was
well known as military aid to the
President. The chief executive heads
the list of contributors to the me-
mortal fund. The erection of the
foundation was sanctioned by Con-
gress, and its site, just south of the
White House, approved by the Presi-
dent.
Major Butt and Mr.. Millet were
among the men who stood aside and
went down with the Titanic to give
others room in the boats.
They had been friends for many
years, occupying the same house in
Washington, and it is peculiarly fit
ting that their heroism should be
ment.
Mr. NTillet was an artist of unusual
ability, and served as vice chairman
of the commission of fine arts. Near
the memorial fountain are many pub
lie grounds, as well as the Mall. all
of which the services of Mr.. Millet
helped to beautify.
On the central shaft of the foun-
tain are two life-size figures One,
the classic form of a woman holding
palette, representing the Fine Arts,
is a tribute to Mr.. Millet; the other,
the figure of youth in full armor,
hand on sword -hilt, portrays military
valor, virtue possessed by Major
Butt in full measure.
If you would like to know all the
interesting things about the govern
ment you should read the two great
patriotic books, ''The American Gov
ernment" and THE Panama Canal"
both by Frederic J. Haskin. See the
details of the Telegraphs offer to its
readers in the coupon printed else
where in this issue.

should develop independently of one
another or whether they should be
merged into one municipality and de-
velop harmoniously. Sentiment should
first be cultivated to the extent that
the advice of the experts will be re-
spected by all.
IF experts should find that 1t is
advisable to merge all. or number,
of our West Shore communities into
one large municipality, and if the rec
ommendation of the experts is adopt
ed, the following advantages will be
looked for:
"A park system to include the land
especially adapted to park purposes
and all land poorly adapted to building
purposes.
Opening new streets with due re-
gard to their relation to the different
parts of the municipality and the
topography of the land.
Keeping in view a comprehensive
drainage and sewerage system.
Employing competent municipal
and sanitary engineer.
Employing an efficient street or
highway commissioner.
"A well-planned system of fire pro-
lection.
More force and influence in deal
ing with public service corporations.
Increased efficiency in every de-
parlmenJ OF munlclpal government.
Work for Civic Clubs
Whether or not a number of towns
and boroughs join hands in forming a
larger, more economic, more efficient
and more forceful municipality, there
is, and always will be, work for a local
civic club in every one of our different
settlements, if / may use that term.
The active membership of these local
civic clubs is limited to women, and
the good that club does is measured
by its ability to be governed by civic
religion and to keep politics of every
nature out of the organization. In this
connection we should remember that
social politics, church politics and
family politics are the worst kinds of
politicians in civic organizations.
"a few years ago some of the chief
women or Camp Hill organized a civic
club and have done excellent work
along the following lines:
Waste paper receptacles placed at
convenient points along the streets.
Benefit bridge party for the fire
company.

the results of this improvement spirit
and he predicted that the West Shore
would be a great big development
center within comparatively short
time.
Mr.. Myers said, in part:
During my SIX years in the State
Legislature l became very interested
in a law providing for the consoli-
dation of rural schools and the organ
ization of joint rural high schools. 1
addressed an inquiry to every county
superintendent to ascertain what OBJ
stacles were being encountered In con-
solidating small, lifeless country
schools and in organizing strong, eff
cient high schools. The county super
lntendents gave various answers, such
as the fear of increased cost, loyalty
to the little red schoolhouse, lack of
business or organizing ability on the
part OF rural school boards, etc. L also
found that all of the siXty-six county
superintendent agreed that the one
insuDmountable obstacle was envy,
plain, old, green-eyed envy.
"A district would take up the propo-
sition of consolidating it's schools.
Everything would move with enthusi-
asm until it came to selecting a site
for the new central school building,
and then the green-eyed monster
would put in his appearance, and with
his miserable old carcass would smash
the whole plan. 1t seems that ever
since Cain in a fit of envy slew his
more lovable brother Abel, this green
eyed monster has been stalking abroad
on the face of the earth seeking whom
he may devour; and | have the unani-
nous evidence of sixty-siX county su-
perintendents that the rural school
children are among his victims; and
Il E,Nw, - - l..
needed public improvements are
realized we will have the evidence of
the intelligent citizens of the West
Shore communities that these promis-
ing communities are the chief victims
of the miserable green-eyed monster.
Recent Efforts Recalled
I'VE can all recall the efforts recently
put forth by the educational thinkers
of the West Shore communities to
establish a Joint high school. Meet
ings were held. The discussions, as /
recall, were harmonious. Committees
canvassed the cost and reported favor
ably. In due time they reached the
point OF selecting a location. We have
never heard about it since.
'I have regretted since that l did
not take part in that proposition. At
the first meeting / should have told
them to organize a good-sized army of
fearless citizens, armed with muck
rakes and pitchforks, and to spend one
whole year in driving the miserable
green-eyed monster out of our midst

mon sense should prompt us now to
call in experts for advice and plans,
and I am convinced that the West

planners.

should call in experts to determine
whether the different communities

HONOR SYSTEM
IS ON TRIAL
Three Annapolis Midshipmen Were
Dismissed for Cribbing In
Examinations,

limited Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, June 5.--The hon
or system" at the Annapolis naval
academy is on trial. Three midship-
mems expulsion and an inquiry into
alleged misconduct in examinations
of more than 100 others, including
members of graduating class, were
ordered today by President Wilson
and Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
The annual examination cribbing
scandal was declared this afternoon
by Secretary Daniels to be the most
widespread in the history Of the acad-
envy. Members of all classes are in
volved. Monday a special board of
inquiry will begin an investigation
which may cause wholesale dismissal
of cadets. A preliminary inquiry was
held yesterday at Annapolis by Secre-
tary Daniels. Today he placed the
whole matter personally before the
president who ordered the special
board.
Names of the three middies dis
missed were withheld All were low
er class men. Because of their youth,
Daniels said, it was not desired pub
licly to degrade them. The Annapolis
boards recommendation for dismissal
Of seven others has been suspended
pending the general inquiry next
week.
Of the three dismissed today, one
tried to bride a mechanic to secure
examination papers; two broke into a
mathematics professors room to learn
their marks in examinations already
taken. It is charged that dozens OF
