OUR BOGUS HISTORIES

Mr.. Frederic l.. Huidekoper, be-
fore the Senate Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, made some observations
that will not receive the attention
they deserve. He told the committee
that American history, as taught in
tn" schools and altogether too well
understood and accepted by the pub
lie, is not accurate, but deCeives peo-
pie, and has become responsible for
vast and unfortunate misunder-
standings.
II is remarkably past all under
standing, that decade after decade
has been allowed to pass without at
tcntion being effectively directed to
this state of facts. The teaching Of
history is inadequate in almost all
public schools; but so much of the
American history taught is so out
rageOusly inaccurate that it is per
hapS as we'll that pupils are given no
more Of it. Parson Wcems would
appear to have been the model for
most hist0riOgraphers who have ad-
dressed themselves to the supposed
needs of the public schools and sec
Ondary academic institutions. II
seems to have been regarded as quite
the part of patriotism to teach chill
drcn that our political and military
history hav" been bcSpangled with
hcroiSm and glories; if bit o. cold.
relentless fact stuck out from the
record to the di>crcdit Of such u
theory, then the fact couId readily
enough be left out and the history
distorted.
Since the worId-war has conn
mandcd attention in new fashion
to the general pubIic's conceptions Of
historic subjects. it has been I'M
pressed constantly that the avcrupc
intelligent American has rather A
better conception of the history Of
Rome than Of the political, or even
the military, development Of his own
country'S affairs.
This criticism is especially to be
aimed against the American history
that is taught in the public schools.
There are some exception, to the
rule Of uniform badness, in the more
advanced histories used in colleges; !;

methods he ma. resort to, with lit
tie expense to himself, to prolong
the red tape of his removal, and then
when he goes the landlord may find
himself compelled to go to the courts
to collect rent, if the tenant happens
to have resources from which it may
be collected.
The situation here arises because
of the application of laws made in
the days when rental was a matter
of annual or semi-annual payment,
when moving" was a rare occur
renee and when leases were little
known. In few respects has the
District code failed to keep pace with
changing social conditions more
than in the landlord and tenant laws.

THE AQUEDUCT BRIDGE

Too much emphasis could not be
laid upon the necessity for early ac-
tion to relieve conditions of traffic
dependent on the Aqueduct bridge
between Georgetown and Alexandria
county. For many years that an
clent and inadequate structure has
been under condemnation as of very
doubtful safety. 1t has been a stand
ing menace to the safety Of people
using it; yet it has been the most
important gateway between George
town and a great Virginia section
which brings its business here.
Recently the condition of the ven
cradle iron structure has become so
serious that it has been ordered that
not more than a single street car
shall enter on the bridge at one
time, while the load has otherwise
been limited so that it is now quite
impossible for the demands of bust
ness to be cared for by the struc-
ture.
1t is a telling testimony to the in
efficiency Of administration in this
District, that these conditions should
survive to this day, despite that year
after year, for a long period, it has
been reported, announced, warned,
and regretted, that the old bridge
was unfit for service. There has been
talk about i new bridge-and moth
ing else. Half a dozen structures
could have been built, one after an
other, since the time when it was
made perfectly plain that the pres
ent bridge was too. old, light, and
dangerous to be used; yet there has
been no recognition Of the certain
calamity and preparation against it..
Today conditions are so bad that the
commercial life of both west Wash
ington and Alexandria and Fairfax
counties are menaced by the restric-
tions placed upon it by the bridge
safety regulations. Yet it will take
two years or more to build new
bridge, even after provision is made
for it.
The question of what kind Of
bridge to build, or who shall pay for
it. and how-all this is unimportant
compared to the absolute necessity
of doing something and doing it
right now. Talk about monu-
mental bridge to adorn the city
throughout the coming centuries is
interesting: it isn't at all "fiIing" to
folks who have to walk the length Of
this ancient wreck on a February
with the mercury near zero
and the north winds whistling down
the icc- burdened channel of the Poto-
mac. That is the fate Of hundreds.

CHIC 400, FASHION CENTER

Chicago's ambition knows no
bounds, hestates at no hurdles,
doubts no possibility Of its destiny.
, To world frankly ready to concede
Chicago's supremacy in SCOT and
primacy in pork, the lakeside
metropolis now displays purpose to
become a fashion center. We are
assured that even Paris is listening
TO the clicking cables-if cables click
clicking off or otherwise relieving
themselves of the portcntous news
of the fashion show that is holding
in Porkopolis.
Chicago, it may be recalled by the
outside world, as it is pointed to in
eXaltation Of pride by Chicagoese,
has been holding style shows for
several years. 1t was hammcring
its way, painfully but earnestly, to-
ward recognition as sartorial GEN.
ter. occasionally taking an envous
side glance toward Paris, when sud-
NNhiy Vic wal DIoht Oul anu al 10
found itself handicapped by the ne
cessity of Juggling its government to
Marseilles, sending its taxicabs to
the front, and forgetting alike its
naughtineSS and its frivoitics. When
Paris abdicated Chicago lost no in
slant of opportunity; it stepped
right into the breach, and announced
that henceforward it would provide
the feminine world its fashions.
From this seasons exhibit of Chi
cago's style dicta, it appears that
perhaps Paris might have done pref
ty nearly as well. 1t is genuinely
deplorcd, in fact, that something Il
bit more original and progressive
could not have been announced than
that Crinolincs are shown, hoop
skirts are suspected, and that the
skirts are to come clear down to the
ground again. Mayb" it's "a devious
Chicago scheme for getting tn"
pavements swept; but it's certainly
not progressive It is furthermore
avOuChed that the frocks-Chicago
hasn't been at it long enough yet to
realize that by calling them "crea-
tiOnS" or "cOnfcCtiOnS" It is possible
to boost the price quite n Iot-arc
mostly to continue hooking up the
back. Has woman suffrage in Hi
nois SO dcnaturcd the men Of
suckerdom that they cant strike a
blow or two, in this connection, for
their affairs and their fires? Is
masculinlty forever to Oc hitch"d to
the juggcrnaut of hooks in the back ?
If the figure Of speech IS bad, the
news is bad enough to Justify it.
To Illinois, to Chicago especially,
outstanding, virilc. hopeful men had
looked for a NOV" toward cmanCipa-
ton. Chicago has thrown them down;
and Chicago is going to rue the day
when she handed this parcel To folks
who had thought better Of her.

u. 5. CHAMBER or COMMERCE.

The Chamber Of Commerce Of tn"
United States is an organization Of
comparatively recent time. which mas
demonstrated that there was a ficId
and function for such an inStr,r
mentality. 1t was designed to bring
together a real representation Of
business interests, and to develop
means through which the CONNIE, =
cial sentiment and requirements r.
the country could be 50 formulated
as to give them the weight they
deserve.
In its beginnings there were not
a few who doubted if such an am
bilious project could ever be made
workable. But the answer is that
it has been a success. an importan:
and practical influence in the land,
an Inauguration Of good works, and
Il poton, hacker Of enterprises look
ing to the mobilization Of national
capacity.
There has never been time
when so great field Of usefulness
lay plainly open to this organiZo-
ton as today. The whole relation
Of commercial America to the woriI
has been revolutiOniZcd since thH
war began. 1t is too early to md? ,
with assurance what may be the
limits upon, or even the ultimate
character Of, the changes that viii
come to this nation. Just now we
live in the midst of IN aboundlng
activity and prosperity whose par
allCl has seldom been seen. But It
is to some extent artificial. based
on abnormal demands cor the nccnS-
Sarics Of war. The Wlsrst men Git-
fer in their judgments aa to he
course of events after the wa.
One. for instance, is certain there
will b" an unprecedCntedly heavy
immigration to this couutry; anoth-
er is equally convinced there wit
b" Il long pel'iod of very light immi-
grafton. So through Tn" whole
gamut Of possible Changes thac
mus, weigh upon lhi, country. az.
fairs.
Men may not be able to agr,a
upon tn" things that are going 10
happen; but they can agree tha'
momcntoUs events are transpirisg,
and that changes which can oni.,
be vaguely conjectur"d are certain
to come about as a result Of III.
war. The time is right now to pr,
pare in every wise way to keep .hn
business and financial fabric Of .Hr
alton strong, safe, and s'ablr. Thr
Chamber Of Commerce Of p,
United States has been a poNrriqI
factor in promoting such effort; il
will be yet more ueciul one.
