An Elective School Board
By BILL PRICE.

JOHN VAN SCHAICK has shown tact and broad con-
sderaon for District schools in resgnng from the Board
of Education The bitter fight over the supernendency
has waged largely around his personality. If he truly
eliminates himself from school matters there will be oppor
unty for healing the and the schools should progress
in harmony and efficiency No doubt he is sincere in his
intention to cut loose from school entirely With
logged courage he persisted i'll course of action which
got" the he after Doubtless he is contented.
But if he had decided to stay the school board the result
would probably have been disastrous to Washington schools
and to the superintendent His act therefore, is
honest wish that the schools shall not be halted.
The very best possible thing for the schools would be
for the entire board to resign that there may be
pete board the members of which shall not have
Superintendent THURSTON. That would absolutely
Schaick might be still pulling the wires.
The unfortunate events of the past point to the
sity for the passage of legislation that will permit peo
pie of Washington to elect their school board Con
ess may through with the proposed Senate program Of
providing for the nomination of school board members by
the President by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate That will be better than having the Supreme Court
of the District mixed up the appointments but will not
stop to the Objectionable opportunities for the naming
clique choices not approved by the people of the District
Washngtonians have the intelligence to elect, by popu-
lar vote the board which is to the public schools No
other plan going to prove satisfactory The White House
has paid little attention to what the citizens of Washington
wanted and whoever is the incumbent there after March
next may not show any greater respect for the feelings of
this community. Suffrage is what entitled to and
should have.

A PLEA FOR SINCERITY
BY BOYS TOWARD GIRLS.

Too many boys expect a hug or kiss
from girl in return for every little
pleasure they offer her. She accepts
this as sincere, and csteems the young
man highly. She doesn't realize that
he is just fooling her, as he is do
ing other girls If he has opportunity.
It's not right, boys. Deceiving girls
this way makes them cynical and
hardened, and then they do not have
faith in sincere men who do offer
them their love. You boys do not
realize the depth of a girls heart or
feelings. To you IT means nothing tn
kiss a girl and tell her pretty things.
It's a mere pastime. Try to be sim
cere, boys. Don't tell a lie to a wom-
an any more than you would in busi-
ness. BE honorable and upright to
them. JACK PATTERSON.
