HIGH SCHOOL QUINTET
WINS TWO HARD GAMES
GreenvilIe and Mt. Pleasant
High Fives Fall in Closing
Games of the Season.


The Alma high school basket ball
team won two games during the past
week, trouncing Greenville high here
last Thursday by score of 80 to
26, and defeating Mt Pleasant high
at Mt. Pleasant the following night
by score of 81 TO y.
Greenville brought a well drilled
team to Alma. which had won nearly
every game that il has played this
season, including one game from AL
ma, which was played at Greenville.
when Alma was defeated lS 10 IS The
Greenville team put up one OF the
best passing games that has been seen
or the local floor this season, and had
the local FIVE not been in the best
OF shape victory would not have
been possible for rhe Alma quin-
tet.
Greenville took a lead right at the
start of the contest and held il until
the closing moments of the game.
when Alma forged into the lead.
Greenville secured three point mar
gin before the locals were able to
score at the start Of the game. and
during the balance Of the half clung
to this margin, and it seemed as if
the locals must surely go down to
defeat again. Greeuville was leading
IL to y, when the half ended
At the start Of the second half,
Greenville added couple more points
&c her lead, before the locals could
get started. Then slowly but surely
Alma put down the margin and with
three minutes to play had tied the
count. so that it became anyone's
game. A sensational basket from the
center Of the floor. nailed by Medler,
gave Alma two-point lead. and he
increased IL to four with another long
shot a minute later, and the game
was cinched for the local quintet.
The work of Howe and Medler in
Tic scoring line featured the game
.or the local aggregation. Howe
-cored six field baskets, for twelve
points, while Medler at guard garn-
red three that aided materially in
ringing in the victory.

The Washington times., 1917-02-18

since the electorate has a part in
Federal as we'll as in State and mu-
nicipal elections, the interest of the
nation should be represented by Fed
eral action in the way of supporting
adequately the education of all the
children of the land.
When one looks at the figures of
illiteracy percentages in the United
States and compares them with sim
liar figures from the progressive
nations of Europe, he can hardly be
proud of the record of his country
in this respect. And when he re-
calls that the ability to read cor
rectly a sentence like "See the old
hen," will class an American citizen
or future citizen as "literate" in the
estimation Of the census taker, the
problem of wiping out American
ihiteracy in another generation is
seen to be a pressing one. The time
is ripe for the fourth and final step
in the path of Federal aid to educa-
ton.

SOCIETY ACTORS PLEASE
Three Playlets Presented by ANA.
teurs at Casino.

An audience of friends and relatives
OF the players filled the Casino
Theater last night when members OF
the Washington Stage Society pre-
sented three short sketches for the
benefit OF local charities.
In each OF the playIets the actors,
members Of Washington's younger
society SET, surprised the audience
with the nearly professional and
thoroughly pleasing manner in which
they went about the amateur acting
The melodrama, "One Day More" a
dramatization OF Joseph Conrads To
morrow" was the most serious OF the
three offerings. Upusual lighting ef-
fects made the scenes impressive In
this play John J. Cunningham. New
bold Noyes. John w. Thompson and
Hannis Taylor. jr., received much ap-
plause.
"Rosalie" differed in. tone from One
Day More" 1t was the story OF 4
young actress who wanted to enjoy
the delicious twilight of middle age"
Miss Edith Goode and George West
Triplett played the stellar roles and
their work was enthusiastically CONF
mended by the audience.
There was a farce satire on society.
"on the sophisticated style of Oscar
Wilde" which vas well received as
a curtain raiser. Miss Anne Hopkins,
Miss Lillian Birnie. Mason Wright,
Frederick Michels and Comdr. c. T,
Jewell gave their lines clever express

INAUGURAL SEAT SPEcULA-
TORS

Every employe Of the Treasury
Department who has kept the spirit
of the cooperative plan for con-
struction of inaugural stands on
Treasury ground should feel a keen
personal concern in the efforts of
Chief Clerk Wilmeth and represen-
tatives of the Secret Service to find
those who have speculated with
tickets received.
Speculation in seats on the Treas
ury stand has been going on to a
limited extent ever since the cooper
ative plan has been in force. This
year officials were informed that GER
tain persons held large blocks of
choice seats on the stands erected
by employees solely for their own use.
There are never quite enough seats
to 20 around among the men and
women who make the stand possible,
but, notwithstanding this, some Of
those entitled to a drawing took the
maximum of seats in order to realize
a small profit on them by placing
them in the hands of spectators.
This casts odium upon the 'co-opsra-
tive enterprise, and does not show
the proper spirit for cooperative ef-
forI.
Instances of such forms Of selfish
ness have done their part in the past
to delay clerks pensions, and other
betterment plans. .-.--....-: -.

Iinger of Massachusetts also spoke,

The Washington times., 1917-02-18

The people who spread the cry "he
kept US out of war;" last autumn,
are now organizing to keep the Pres
ident out of war. For this purpose a
coalition of all the talents of such
diverse ones as Kitchin, Mann,
and Cooper in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, Stone in the Senate, and
Bryan on the side line seems to be
forming. Naturally the group is
composed without reference to Po-
litical party. Its most obvious gov
erning force is the popular pacifism
of the South and the interior.
How far some Of these pacifists
are willing to go in their exertion to
escape foreign conflict may be seen
in the latest words Of Mann and
Stone. Mr.. Mann so far imposes on
common sense as to maintain that
to enter the war would mean giving
foreign nations a hand in American
affairs; precisely as if the provoca-
ton were not the murderous repres-
sion OF American shipping, an Amer
ican affair if ever there was one.
Mr.. Stone sights principle rather
than merely sense when he calls for
a gag law against the press to pre-
vent the publication Of what he re-
CARDS as offensive lies by the press.
Some painful exposures Of the Sena-
tors own secret confabs with pro-
German leaders in course Of the
Presidential campaign undoubtedly
appealed to him as, offensive and
would probably be classified by him
as false. To put the power to Jail
editors into the hands Of a group of
men like Stone might go a long way
toward keeping the country out of
war until the enemy had helped him
self to the best in the country. But
it would give us 4 press on the Ger
man rather than the American pat
tern, and the fundamental principles
Of a free government would have to
be altered.
Such strenuous efforts to prepare
Americans for new and unlimited ae-
quiescence to German aggressions
will defeat their own purpose. The
haltage of freight for export has al
ready touched the sluggish, self-sat-
isfied interior in the dollar nerve. It
viii not take much nonsense from
pacifst leaders to awaken the in
landers to the unsoundness of peace
at any price," even as uttered in the
mouths of their leaders.
The Washington times., 1917-02-18
FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION.

A third important step iR the di-
rection of Federal aid to education
has been taken in the passage Of
the Smith-Hughes bill for the prose
cution Of vocational education.
The Morrill, act and its various
extensions gave the aid of the Fed
sral Government to the agricultural
colleges and their extension work
throughout the States. The effect
in increasing the number Of teachers
and practitioners of scientific farm
ing has been incalculable.
1t is not generally known that
while in the Old World the amount
of agricultural products per acre ex-
ceeds that of the United States, the
average American farmer produces
many times the amount Of the Euro
pean farmer. When American
brains and skill are applied to inten-
sive farming as we'll as to the culti-
vation of the immense area Of un-
titled arabic lands, America will be-
come more than ever the granary Of
the world.
The Smith-Lever act Of the pre-
ceding session Of Congress, named
for the respective chairmen of the
committees on education of the
House and Senate, established the
precedent of Federal aid to agricul-
tural education in the schools, and
the Smith Hughes act, which now
goes to the President for his sigma
ture, extends still further the
process of agricultural education
and makes the principle apply also
to industrial education in cities and
factory communities.
Beginning with a comparatively
small appropriation it will soon be
calling for its millions annually from
the Federal Treasury. The work of
control and distribution of the funds
Is in the hands of a board consisting
Of the Secretary of Agriculture, the
OC(ICIoIg vi SOAAlIiGISCB ILIC OCCIC-
tary of Labor, and the Commissioner
Of Education, with three private
citizens representing manufacture,
agriculture, and labor, respectively.
The next logical step, and one
which will be powerfully urged in
the next and succeeding sessions of
Congress until It's adoption. will be
that Of Federal aid to public educa-
tion generally, looking to the wip-
ing out Of the reproach of illiteracy
from this nation. The problem Of
illiterscy concerns us all. In a
democracy, intelligent and progress
sive action is too frequently retard-
Cd by the Indifference or hostility Of
an unintelligent electorate. And
