At St. Louis.

A committee appointed by Chair
man McCombs for the purpose will
meet in St. Louis on the 9th of next
month to make some of the arrange
ments for the democratic national
convention. An important matter
will be the selection of a temporary
chairman.
A news article conveys this infor-
nation:
Mr.. McCombs said the committee
men were up in the air for a candi-
date for temporary chairman. He said
that no one had been able so far to
ascertain who President Wilson
wanted for the place. The commit
tee would wait a reasonable time for
the President to signify his choice,
he said, and if no word came they
would 60 ahead and select a man."
OF course, the committee, even ii
left without a tip from the White
House, will select for chairman a man
who is true blue, thoroughly Will.

President. None other should be con-

Grouping the Schools.

An interesting experiment is about
to be tried in the public schools
which may work out to the advan-
tage of the system not only finan-
cially, but educationally. For some
time it has been the comment of
most educators upon the local system
that it was unduly supervised, that
the overhead" organization was too
heavy. An opportunity occurs for
this experiment in the existence of
three vacancies among the building
principals, and one among the super
vising principals, which, under the
law, need not be filled. The plan is
to group school buildings that are
closely placed under single principals
and to lessen the number of super
visory divisions. By taking advan-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-01-29

tage of the existing vacancies this
plan can be tried out without eaus-
ing the reduction of any principal
and with minimum of change.
Washington suffers from the
smallness. of the school unit. 1t has,
in proportion to the population, too
large a number of buildings. If the
policy of larger buildings had been
carried out consistently during the
last quarter of century it would
now be possible to administer the
schools with a much less cumber-
some overhead organization. But
conditions must be met as they exist,
and with the school buildings placed
as they are the nearest approach to
the large-building system is the group
plan which is now to be tried.
Ideally the school building principal
should have minimum of teaching
duty. She should be a direct super
visor over the class work of all the
grades in her building. Under the
present system she must maintain
her eighth grade class and perform
numerous clerical duties in addition
to exercising disciplinary authority
and supposedly doing an educational
supervisory work as well. This is too
much for any one person, and it fire.
quently operates against the interest
of the pupils of her class. Under the
experimental plan about to be tried
the principal will be relieved of much
of her teaching work, by an arrange
ment of the schedules which will give
her time for supervision, discipline
and administrative duty
In the course of time. if Congress
will adhere to the large-building pol
icy now urged by the board OF edu-
cation. the small buildings will be
eliminated, but meanwhile an ap-
Proclamation of the large-building
system may be effected by the group
plan which Supt Thurston has pro-
posed and which the board has au-
thorized for trial.

Preparedness.

The first responses to the Presi-
dents New York speech are not
promising for any light, or new ar
gument on the opposition side of the
preparedness question.
Mr.. Bryan leads off from his win
ter home in Florida. All he can see
in the preparedness cause is a con-
spiracy of ammunition makers seek
ing business, big corporations seek
ing larger armed force for con-
trolling labor and soldiers and sailors
seeking occupation and promotion.
Many changes have been rung on
that charge. which, of course, is moth
ing but charge.
Representative Dies OF Texas has
something OF the same notion. He
specializes on the military. Speak
ing in the House yesterday. ''he de-
clared that retired army and navy
officers were largely responsible for
the preparedness agitation" This
was one of his shots: Every old liar
on the retired. list is in active service
now"
Is this the best the opponents OF
preparedness can do? Do they really
want and expect the country to
think that the men and women who
are advocating an adequate national
defense are victims of a movement
socketed in selfshness, cunning and
false pretense? Can that sort of al
legation be put over" even in these
excited times?
Among those thus indicated are ma
tional legislators. national politi
clans, educators. of international re-
nown. churchmen of great influence
and leaders of capital and leaders of
labor. Are we to suppose that such
men have been bamboozled on sub
ject of profound moment by the rep
resentatives of selfish interests?
Have they no means of their own for
examining the subject, and no judg-
ment of their own to announce?
The Presidents first address has
been well received. New York gave
attention, and applauded. For nearly
a week now he will be on tour with
a message of like import for other
constituencies. Those living a thou
sand miles from salt water will hear
the same appeal for stronger navy
that has been addressed to those liv-
ing on the very edge of the Atlantic.
All are alike interested. Protection
for one is protection for all, and all
need protection.
A desire to hear the President is
widespread. The present tour will be
followed by another. and third is
not improbable. If he had the time
to spare he could spend weeks on
railroad trains visiting cities and
towns where interest in preparedness
has been quickened by his CONVEX
sion. to the cause, and in some of
which Mr.. Bryan has spoken on the
other side. At the moment there is
no topic under so much general dis
sussion.

Congress and the Conventions.

The President wants Congress to
hurry along. He would be glad to
see the tables cleared and the shut
tiers put up in time for members to
attend the national conventions.
The suggestion is easy; adoption
difficult. Mr.. Wilson has never been
member of legislative body. He
has had no experience with commit
tees. Or calendars, or debates. He
has never studied the mysteries of
legislative delays. He has much to
learn in that line
AS matter of fact, Congress has
great deal of work to do. And it is
work that should not be dispatched
at lightning speed. There is the
revenue question, the preparedness
question, larger allowances for both
army and navy, rural credits and
other questions. Not one of them
should be whipped through either
House or Senate. All should be dis
cussed calmly and thoroughly.
Now, it is only four months until
the conventions meet. That is not a
long time. 1t is short time, and will
glide swiftly by. June is on the way
like race horse.
Business before pleasure. And
Uncle Sans business before all other
business. Congress is in session.
Much depends on what is done at the
session. Nothing should be done
hastily or carelessly. Nothing should
be postponed to the next session that
can be attended to at this. The
short session lasts only three months,
and has its hands full with the rou-
tine.
National conventions are interest
ing bodies. Politicians of all grades
like to attend. Senators and rep
resentatives are useful men there.
Some of them are found among the
delegates, and are much consulted.
Their positions and experience mark
them for leadership. They help with
the platforms, and with negotiations
about candidates.
Even so, the stronger call is here.
To speed up legislation for the ex-
press purpose of forcing adjourn
ment in time for the conventions
would be neither wise nor safe.
The work at both Chicago and St.
Louis will be mems work. The re-
publicans will have the harder job.
They must wrestle with the question
of picking candidate as we'll as
writing a platform. At St. Louis the
candidate will stand indicated. But
the platform alone will tax the skill
of the party's best builders. The
Baltimore structure enabled the
party to get in, but in order to stay
in it must have something of an
other kind.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-01-29

necessity. With the democracy's
consent, and, indeed, somewhat at its
solicitation, he has until now made
the record.
This is not to say that perfect
unanimity at St. Louis will insure
success at the polls. Between July
and November the democracy. even
with Mr.. Wilson on the box, will en-
counter many difficulties. The going
will be rough. There will be good
deal to explain. New promises will
have to be strongly supported.
But if it should appear that Mr..
Wilson is holding the lines for the
new journey without the full consent
of all those inside the coach; that
many are riding farther with him Sim
ply because they could not get a
whip of their own choice, there may
be a spill. Rocking coach is as
perilous as rocking a boat.
After the convention has done its
work, matters will be under Mr.. Will
sons supreme direction. He will be
consulted about everything. The man
ager of the campaign will be near
him. and under his orders. He will
spend the time close to New York,
from which point the whole field of
action will be observed.
All eyes will be fixed on St. Louis
when the time comes. All attention
will be given to the chairman's
speech, to the nominating speeches,
and to the platform, and if there is
any lack of harmony in the deliver
ances it will be easily detected by a
public keyed up to most interesting
situation
