IllIIIIIIIlIlIIHIIIlHIIlllIlIlIlIllIlIIlIllllI

The County Board of Education met
in the Office of the County Superin.
tendent last Monday, this being the
regular quarterly meeting of the board.
Only routine business was attended to-.
The most important action taken by
the board was the passing of resolu-
tion fixing Monday, May 6, as the date
on which the teachers for the county
schools for the summer term will be
elected. 1t was requested that the
Superintendent ask all advisory boards
who want to recommend teachers for
the several Nghools in their udistricts to
get these Recommendation to the mem.
bers of the County Board or the Sup
erintendent before May 6. 1t was ALSO
asked that every teacher in the county
who wants his or her same school or
any other in the county, make applica-
ton before that date, 80 that the mem
hers Of the board will know what to do
when the election date comes. 1t is de-
sired by the board that every position
in the county schools be filled on this
date and they will endeavor to fill
every one.
Sogratifed were the boys of the Som
erviIle School over the action of the
Of the County Court in appointing the
oommitte to take some action in regard
to new building or repairs on the pre-
sent one, that they sent representa-
ton to the County Superintendent to
inform him that they were ready to
organize and help to increase the funds
from any appropriation that might be
made for this purpose. 1t was stated
that numerous bows in school have al
ready signifed their willingness .to give
their donation for this, purpose, and
further that they would get out and
help to raise other funds, if needed
The fine spirit of the offer is most cor
daily commended and when the time
comes the boys will be called on to
help where their help will count for
most.
Teachers in the County Schools
should bear in mind that they are ex-
pected to attend five of the monthly in
stitutes during the school year. Some
schools may expire before such at
tendance has been made, because of
the bad weather interfering last winter
with the holding of these institutes,
but the April and May meetings will af
ford an opportunity for this attend
ance and it is hoped that teachers will
attend these meetings, whether their
schools are still in session or not.
In a communication from the State
Superintendent received by the County
Superintendent this week this sentence
appears: During these war times
am willing 20 renew a two-year GER
hficate even if out of date, if the hold
er will attend term at some accred-
tied school," This has not been done
in the past and the State Superintend-
snt is showing this iberality in order to
avoid possible shortage of teachers in
in the schools of the state.

Now for the Blue Star!

Washington has won the honor flag
for the third liberty loan and now with
five days remaining after today the
local task is to double the local quota
and win the blue star signifying 200 per
cent. That will mean a subscription OF
$25, 900 900, huge sum to raise in Wash
ington considering the local resources,
but in the light Of the Districts sub
scription to the second loan and the SUBJ
sequent increase in the local population
by no means an impossible achievement.
In the second loan rs per cent Of the
subscriptions were received during the
last three days of the campaign. IF
the same ratio prevails this time. with
nearly $1s,OO0,ooo subscribed in the last
three days of the drive, the local sub.
scription to the third loan will be over
$3o,0oO,0o0.
Many pledges have been given at the
various loan meetings and to canvass
ers that have not yet been fulfilled. Had
these pledges all been redeemed by SUBJ
scriptions the honor flag would have
been won in time to have been borne
in the parade last Friday. Every dollar
thus pledged should be put across in the
form Of subscription without fail.

IS not sufficient withou. the spirit to
take advantage Of it and the knowledge
on the part of the business men that
their ventures into foreign markets will
be supported by strong national pol
icy tending to encourage efficient pro.
duction, convenient finance and cheap
transportation"
This is the note; and It cannot be too
often sounded. Even the roar Of the
war guns should not keep it out Of the
ears of our captains of industry"
When peace is restored, every trading
nation will at once bestir itself for trade.
All of them will have suffered heavily
by the war. All will be burdened with
debt. Each will strive to free itself from
the burden as quickly as possible. BUSH
ness, profitable business, and still more
business, will be the cry; and tho cry
will be heard round the world.
Two Of these nations-England and
Germany-have not as yet been invaded
by hostile armies. Their manufacturing
has been dislocated, and in some lines
suspended, by the war; but the plants
can be readily restored to their former
uses and made to obey the signal of
"fun speed ahead" And England and
Germany are the most experienced, and
have been the most successful, traders
on large scale in the world.
Now, Americas purpose is to take a
hand in this trade game. We want a
larger share than we have hitherto en-
joyed of the worlds trade. As Mr.. Hur-
ley points out, our shipbuilding program
has this object ultimately in view. First
war service, and then peace service.
First, American bottoms for American
troops, and then those bottoms for
American trade.
Heretofore we have been hampered by
the lack of q merchant marine. Our
too small exports have been explained
by the fact that we had no sea carrying
facilities Of our own. Build merchant
marine. and our foreign trade would
expand. Such has been the ADMIRATION,
and such the promise.
Well, merchant marine is now on
the way-not to say the ways. But,
as Mr.. Hurley warns, when it arrives it
must be supported. There must be bust
ness for it. Sea carrying power pre-
supposes something to be carried. If
VIC are to compete successfully with the
great trading nations for what all will
be seeking, we shall have to be in the
best form, and when the war closes get
early into our stride.

street car on the far track as well as
from the other traffic. These midblock
stops are unfortunate in that they run
counter to the rule which it is sought
to establish Of combining pedestrian
street crossing to the corner intersec-
tons. Motorists traversing streets on
which these stops occur encounter
streams Of pedestrians both at the cor
ner and in midblock, thus adding to
their troubles. At the corner crossings
the pedestrians must be protected by
the establishment Of impulse rules gov
erning the traffic alternately. But at
the midblock points there can be no
such rules, and vehicles may be expected
to continue their course unchecked. Con-
sequently those who leave the street
cars at these stations cannot well be
guaranteed free passage to the curb, but
must take their chances. Whether the
clearance Of the street car lines effected
by the skip-stop system is such as to
justify the added danger to the pedes-
trian in the streets downtown at the
midblock stopping points is grave
question. Observation should be made
closely at these points to determine the
degree Of danger, with a view Of the
abandonment of the midblock stop if
it should be decided that the peril to
car passengers is too serious to justify
continuance.

The Work Of Congress.

The Senate has devoted four weeks
to the Overman bill-not too long a time
when the character Of the measure, it's
source and the discussion it at once pro-
voked are taken into account. It did
not originate in the Senate, but out
side, and prominent democrats as well
as prominent republicans eyed it
askance. The debate has been spirited,
and strictly to the point. There has
been no "sloshing around" The vote
approaches; and what is put on the
books will be, thanks to the debate, we'll
understood by the public.
Much is expected Of the measure by
its sponsors. They believe that the
President will be greatly strengthened
by it in his war work. He himself holds
to the same opinion. Results, then,
should soon show. There is much to
be done. There is no lack Of money,
nor any hesitation by Congress about
supplying more. Congress is neither
niggard nor Stacker.
Following the Overman bill will be
other important bills relating to the war.
They, too, should be we'll examined.
They contain questions worthy the at
tention Of lawyers, fnanciers and all
around men Of affairs. just now charged
with legislative duties. Crude legisla-
ton is sometimes disastrous legislation,
It is better to be safe through care, than
sorry through hurry.
Thus far there has not appeared in
either Senate or House any spirit of
hindrance to the war. No debate on
any war measure has smacked Of delay
for delays sake. Every debate has JUS
titled itself by the disclosures made, and
by the improvements made, in the par,
ticular measure In hand.
This policy should be continued. Some
Of tho measures awaiting action present
questions as new, though maybe not 50
far-reaching, as that contained in the
Overman measure. There are supply
bills among the number, carrying huge
sums Of money for purposes fashioned
on unfamiliar lines. Hence on all such
matters the people are entitled to the
information which debates in Congress
are intended and expected to afford.
As for adjournment, it may be stated
again that closing day should be left to
war developments. To work with par.
ticular day-July l, or any other day
in view would be a mistake. While there
is work to do. work should be done. In
; pinch, the congressional campaigns
could be conducted with Congress in SEES.

and hard pressed, could make flying
trips homo and look after their fences.

Communicating.

In making law Of the housing bill,
now pending in the Senate, Congress
shows a tendency to follow wise and
sound principles of legislation. It is
generally conceded that this legislation
should be quickly enacted; that it should
meet fully the vitality essential needs of
the government in this emergency; that
it should not violate or curtail therights
Of the individual except to the extent
that the government necessities absolute
iy and specifically demand; and that its
Communicating provisions should be ma
tion-wide in application, and be enforced
without discrimination everywhere, and
not in the District of Columbia alone.
To meet the local housing problem,
which the nation at war has itself Gre
ated, the government will spend ten mil
lion dollars. In addition to this increase
Of housing supply, the government will
diminish the housing demand (D by dis
eouraging the immediate flocking to
Washington Of unframed workers not
now needed; (2) by diverting where
conditions permit groups of new work
ers to other cities; and (3) by making
maximum use of workers already housed
in the District.
In cooperation with the national gov
eminent public-spirited Washingtonians
have organized and have systematically
searched the city for housing accommo-
dations at reasonable rates. Obdurate
landlords have been shamed as unpatri-
otic and threatened with a commander
ing Of their property.
The communicating, proposed by the
housing bill, in order to supplement
housing accommodations, will, with
suitable restrictions, take private prop
srty at reasonable compensation, wher-
ever 1t is absolutely necessary.
Washington will periodically acqui-
esce in any essential war measure Of
this sort, however drastic, which applies
to all Americans everywhere, and which
strikes at an evil, Gripping war prepared
ness and war efficiency, wherever It ex-
lists.
Finally. by the adoption Of an equi-
table fair rents law. based on the House
bill now under consideration in the Sem
ate District committee, the housing leg
dslation can be rounded out. Supple
meuting the housing law with its COM
Wandering provision Of general appli-
cation, the local fair rents law can be
simple, direct and equitable.
Its purpose will be to compel the les
sors Of dwelling houses or of rooms or
parts of dwelling houses to charge non.
excessive rents to lessees. This end will
be accomplished ~ by enacting rules
for the determination, on the applica-
ton of either lessee or lessor, by an
impartial tribunal, Of reasonable rental
rates; (2) by forbidding hereafter any
charge directly or indirectly in excess
Of these rates, and (3) by enforcing
obedience to the law by imposing PEN
allies for its violation.
