Oppose School Site.

~ wv boANoit Ahc
Apropos of your investigation
into the local school question, l beg
to hand you herewith certain facts
regarding the choice of site for the
new school for tubercular pupils.
What the Commissioners have done
in that matter is a substantial con-
tribution to the general disgust
that local citizens feel at the way
the school situation is handled.
Congress makes appropriation for a
Groom Junior high school, to cost
$500. 900. and directs where II shall
be built. Thereupon the Commits
sioners announce that they intend
to collect all the tuhercular chill
dren in the city, excluded by law
from the regular schools. and con-
centrate them in a building almost
across the street from the 1000
healthy children in the Junior high
school!
In your editorial Of the 2sth ult.
you state Our policy is: First, tell
the truth: do not try to cover up
or hide disagreeable facts" The
facts in this case are as disagree
able" as any you will find in the
whole school problem. May / re-
quest that you give them appro-
pirate publicity at your conven-
fence?
The Piney Branch Citizens As
ISOLATION has engaged the law hrm
Of Darr. Whiteford and Darr as its
counsel and intends to fight to the
bitter end the proposal to dump
all the tubercular children in the
city next door to the school that
will house its own children. APP
pHcation has been made to the
Commissioners for a rehearing in
the case, and IL no relief Is granted
from that quarter court action will
be started Immediately.
Very truly yours.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
II consistent with ideas of your
paper and you have space ! would
like this letter published.
In the Washington Post Of De-
cember 6, 1921. noticed that Com
missioner Haynes asked for an ap-
propriation of 10000, 900 for the
year commencing July l. 1929, to
enforce prohibition, which does not
and never will prohibit why bur
den us with this extra taxation.
who are today struggling under an
overload, when the only results
that will be accomplished by these

on these goods. He isn't Probably

Mr.. Babson declared there Is
something wrong in the method of
educating young men for business
and that they must be educated in
basic principles to teach them to
eliminate the great waste in the
distribution of goods in America.
He Illustrated with articles which
had solved the problem of stand
ardization.
Here's a box of matches They
cost one cent. But how much
would they cost If carpenter
made them?" he asked.
Those matches have been stand
ardized. You don't want them long
once, short the next time slim now
and fat later. The cost of dis
tributing and marketing has been
reduced to the minimum"

Germany as a Buyer.

CTATIST1CS Of the Department OF Commerce,
- covering the first eight months OF the year,
indicate buying power in Germany that is worth
considering.
Wheat, cotton, copper, bacon, lard and con-
densed milk lead among the commodities pur-
chased from America, and their total value is fixed
at nearly sIooooo,ooo more than our sales to them
in the corresponding period of 1920
Wheat shipments to Germany this year were
100000 bushels as against 100000 last year;
our cotton sales, up to August 80, aggregated
o64I65 bales against $4,000 in the first eight
months of 1920.
Full payment may be delayed, but Germany
has persuaded American business of her ability
and her desire to purchase raw materials. This
certainly is evidence of improving conditions on
both sides of the Atlantic.
