Moral Training Essential

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Ny attention has been drawn to
the proposal that memorial to the late
ex-Presdent Roosevelt take some form of
national educational development.
May ! suggest that if the idea is enter
tanned the education aimed at be of the
true fundamental type known as moral
training? intellectually of itself has no
saving potency for the peace and happi-
ness of individuals of nations Know-
edge, culture and other desirable acoui-
sitions that go to make up scholarship are
of vast Importance and may not be neglect
ed, but character, as the expression of the
everything virtues, is not only fundamen-
tai to these things, but directly contribu-
tory to them.
The logical agency for the application
of real citizenship training is the public
school system. Its diploma should be
citizenship diploma reciting that for the
stated number of years the pupils char
acter as manifested by loyalty, obedience,
truthfuness and justice has been such as
to merit the assigned degree, and in rec
ognltion thereof he is recommended as
giving promise Of fidelity in his citizen
ship.
The principles embodied in the forcgo-
ing are Of ancient origin and have teen
IN successful practice for years in our
military camps and schools, on our navy
ships and in our government academies.
Their application on national scale would
be worthy monument to our ex-Presi-

A World House Shortage

When the men are mustered out of
the army, where are they going to live?
That is one of the big questions of
demoblization, an international ques-
ton, for throughout many of the nations
that took part in the war there is an
acute shortage of homes.
1t is easy enough to understand that
there are not enough houses to go around
in Northern France and Belgium, where
some hundreds of houses were razed by
the Hun, but it is not there alone that
the shortage is felt. New York, accord
ing to figures cited on the business page
Of The Tribune, is facing the worst
housing crisis in it's history. There is
need of 5000 more apartments than
are available, because building has not
kept pace with the increase in popula-
ton since the beginning of the war
The condition that prevails in New
York and, presumably, in other Eastern
cities is universal throughout Great
Britain. Figures compiled by the gov
ernment show that in England, Scot
land and Wales there is immediate need
for not less than 100000 homes of the
cheaper class, the kind that the wage
Garner can afford to rent. The Labor
Party places the number at 100000.
There the efforts of private enterprise
to meet the need for homes will be
supplemented by a government scheme
of housing, and just at present there is
oh Il
that shall be built under government
supervision. Private builders are in
cllned to stick to the old style of house
or cottage because innovations in build
ing, with the addition of such luxuries
as bath rooms, are an increased ex-
pense. The British government, how
ever, is considering plans for the addi-
tlon of just such innovations; and if the
government leads the private builder
will, if he is going to meet competi-
ton, have to follow.
Just at present the committee having
the matter in charge is trying to decide
whether the government house
shall have parlor, in addition to liv-
ing room and scullery. According to
The London Morning Post the desire
for the parlor, or third room, is remark
ably widespread both among urban and
rural workers. Summarized, the reasons
given for its provisions were that it was
needed to enable the older members of
the family to hold social intercourse
with their friends without interruption
from the children; in cases of sickness. as
quiet room for convalescent members
of the family, or for any who may be
suffering from long continued illness
or weakness; for the youth Of the family
in order that they may meet their
| friends; for home lessons by the chill
| dren and for occasional visitors. In the
circumstances it is not surprising to
find that the committee favors the
parlor.
For the rural workers 1t il probable
that the group plan Of housing will be
adopted. The farm workers will be
gathered in villages, instead of scattered
in groups Of two or three on the several
farms. Certainly economy in building
and in the supply of water and other
services would be favored by such a

a lot Of loose. white feathers still
sticking inside them-and waited for
Nurse Jane to come down.
"I want her to see how well can

Then all OF a sudden the bad old
