When the House District Committee,
and its subcommittee on schools, take
under consideration the proposal of the
Commissioners for a reorganization Of the
local school system, they will have be-
fore them an overwhelming mass of
evidence against the proposed changes
collected by the people of the District.
They will have resolutions from more
than a score or organizations, represent
ing the parents of the children who would
be affected by the proposed changes, and
their teachers. In addition, they will
have the protest Of at least one of Wash
inston's trade bodies-the Chamber OF
Commerce.
This evidence consists not merely in
an accumulation of public opinion, express
ed through resolutions. Some Of the
organizations, principally the High School
Teachers Association, and the Mothers
Congress, will present facts
One of the chief arguments of the
Commissioners In support of their re-
commentator, was that such changes
as they proposed for Washington, were
in line with methods being adopted in
practically all the large cities of the
country, namely, of ,vestfns authority
over the school in the heads Of the city
government. The High School Teachers
a.
a few of the larger cities have adopted.
even in part, the plan of the Com
missioners.
That the opposition of the people of
the District to the plan had an effect
upon Congress. Is shown by the fact thar
two Representatives, Michael z. Conry,
of New York, and Charles o. Lobeck,
Of Nebraska, have declared In pubic,
that they can see nothing but harm for
-, aad the
Commissioners
Probably not since the people Of the
District were deprived Of the right OF
suffrage, nearly forty years ago, has
there been a more representative ex-
preston Of opinion on a public question
than has been expressed BY the various
civic organizations on the proposed
school change.
Next Wednesday morning, the sub
committee on schools Of the House Dis
trict Committee win begin public hear
ings on the recommendation Of the Com
missioners. and II Is expected that many
OF the organizations that have acted on
the matter viii have representatives
there to impress their views on Con-
gress.
few days after the recommendation
Of the Commissioners was made public,
early in December, the Washington Her
aid pointed out the dangers Of placing
such unlimited power over the schools in
the Commissioners. In an editorial II
urged the various civic bodies and school
associations. whose membership would
be vitality affected. to look into the pro-
posal of the Commissioners.
That The Herald made no mistake In
predicting that the people Of the District
would rise up In opposition TO the changes
advocated by the Commissioners Is
shown by the following list of organi-
zations that have appealed to Congress

Origin Of English Bible Told
In Encyclopedias Britannica

the immediate occasion of this Article. is
itself, like our English Bible, a product
OF slow growth and many editions. That
before us is the newest OF Eleven Edi-
tions spaced through a period of 1iS
years. The account of its origin in the
Encyclopaedia itself Is almost as fasci-
mating as that from whilh we have just
quoted.
1t is an odd circumstance that although
the word Encyclopedias and the idea
which 1t contains WAS familiar both to
the ancients and TO the bookmen of the
Middle Ages. ut was not until after the
Authorized Version had been completed
and the voice at Avon stilled that any
work bearing this name appeared; and
the first in English is a hundred years
later still. 1t Is curious that the famous
enterprise known as the French Ency-
clopaedla began as a translation of an
English work, and that in turn this in
some sense inspired the Encyclopae edia
Britannica. 1t would take US too far
afield to sketch the growth of this cele-
brated undertaking. Suffice 1t to say that
1t was conceived in much the same way
as was the Authorized Version-that is.

OF the three quarto volumes appeared in

ed the Britannica and almost all other
encyclopedias have ever since been
builded.
The first English writer to use the
word encyclopedias" 50 far as we have
been able to trace, was Sir Thomas Elyot,
excellent scholar and Indifferent diplomat
at the Court of Henry VIII. 1t is an in
teresting coincidence that his work so
advanced him in the kings favor that he
received instructions to proceed to the
court Of the Emperor Charles V to in
duce him to take a more favorable view
of King Henrys projected divorce from
Catherine of Aragon, and at the same
time. ''if possible to apprehend William
Tyndale," who was then hiding in Ger

warm in carrying out the Kings wishes
at any rate. Tyndale escaped and Elyot
came back in disgrace.
