FREE TEXT BOOKS

Congressman Buchanan of Illi-
nois in introducing a bill to provide
free high school text books in the
District of Columbia has brought di-
rectly before Congress a need that
has been emphasized time and time
again by citizens associations and
by labor unions in the Capital.
Pennsylvania, a near neighbor,
and many Western States already
furnish free text books throughout
the school course. There is no rea-
son, why the National Capital
should lag behind in a matter which
is so important. There is an added
reason here why such text books
should be furnished because of the
extra expense in other directions in
the high school course. All boys
are compelled by law to join the
cadets, unless excused under certain
exceptions, and these boys must
spend money for uniforms, for fees
for the company funds, and for
street car transportation on occa-
sions of drill away from the vicin-
ity of the schools.
In some of the high schools the
laboratory fees, the cost of mate
rials, especially those in mechani-
cal drawing and manual training
courses, are high. These combine
with the cost of text books, to make
the high schools anything but "free'
to many small salaried residents
The city should keep step with the
times and furnish free text books.

A STREET TOLL LIKE WAR s

In %, $40 accidents of nineteen diff
ferent kinds in 1915, according to
the first complete twelve-month re-
port ever issued by the Police De-
partment on the subject, $50 persons
were killed and 23,321 injured in
the streets of New York city. 1t is
an appalling number, the more so be-
cause Commissioner Woods offers no
hope that it will decrease. He goes
so far as to predict the annual cycle
for 1916-there will be fewer acci-
dents in February, casualties reach
ing the low point of the year. Each
succeeding month will bring more
until the high point is reached in
July. There will be a drop in Au-
gust, when the holiday season takes
thousands out of town. Maimings
and killings will jump again in Sep
tember, then fall month by month
until February, 1917, brings a new
low point. Bad weather keeps pco-
pie indoors; fine weather brings
them out and increases hazardous
congestion.
The New York police department
has made persistent efforts at bet
tering conditions, aiming not only
at strict supervision Of vehiculai
traffic, but also at education ot
drivers and pedestrians, with par
ticular intent to reach children
for children in 1915 paid Al pei
cent of the death toll and 80 pei
cent of the injured.

problem just about enough to off

One of the three real photoplays that

critic has called The Ragamuffin," by
William c. DeMille. in which the Lasky
Company presents Blanche sweet at the
Columbia the first part of this week.
Mr.. DeMille both wrote and directed
the production of this play. and that
he has gained much knowledge of pic
ture possibilities is shown in the con-
struction of this play. While it is a
crook play and contains a lot of crook
episodes: and while some of it's scenes
are rather long drawn out for no ap-
parent dramatic purpose, The Raga

construction Tor the bettcrment of the
motion picture industry in general.

horn in the slums and a young man
who is heir to a fortune. They are
brought together in n natural manner
