Problem of the Circles.

THE HERALD does not know to whom credit
Il is due for the change in traffic arrangements
at Scott Circle. But whoever it is, seems to have
at last solved the problem of the circle situation
which has so added to traffic dangers at these
beauty spots. These circles halt the streets and
and send them a whilgigig to find their
continuance
Scott has been especially vexing problem be-
cause of Sixteenth street, the thoroughfare most
used by motor cars Of all the highways of the city
which crosses" it, while Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island avenues to the center on the
diagonal This has made fine traffic with
whirling in every direction, poured as it WERE
from six spouts. Pedestrian crossing has been
extra hazardous sometimes impossible.
Partial relief was given by circling platforms
acting as safety zones for pedestrians and sup
posed guides for cars. But these were in them
selves distractions taking up considerable part of
the roadway. What now being installed are
two semicircular walls taking up minimum Of
space and dividing the encircling roadway in half
They start and end at each side of Sixteenth, but
are closed in front OF the avenue ends. This gives
Sixteenth street travel the undisputed right of way
to the right and left between the wall and the circle
while traffic from the avenues will flow, right and
left outside the wall. 1t is a clever device and if
it solves the Scott Circle situation, may be used for
all the other circles
The wherefore OF these circles which are such
an element of beauty and such traffic nuisance,
is interesting. The Frenchman who laid out the
plan OF the original Washington, had in mind the
military defense of the city That was in the days
wien wars of course and, in Europe, the cap
ture of the capital city marked nations conquest
A look at the map of Washington shows how these
circles are placed at vantage points commanding
all ways of approach Maybe, in case OF serious
riots they might still be of use, but the defense of
Washington, today, would be miles away on the
hills of Virginia and Maryland.

TEACHING METHODS
DRAW CRITICISM

DIR. ". L. Burton. president of
the University of Michigan. does
not hesitate to criticise modern
educational methods Get men
instead of parrots" is one of tho
demands he makes of the boards
of education throughout the coun-
try and of the colleges and univer-
stiles.
There is nothing so vitally fun
damental to the democracy of this
nation as education" he says.
There never was a time as now
when the nation was looking to
the possibilities of education. Par
ents have never looked with such
criticism and careful judgment upon
our educational institutions as they
are looking today. What this crit
ical public is looking for is not
an educational system of efficiency
and splendid equipment The war
taught them that a villain can be
highly efficient and most superbly
educated. What the people are
looking for today is character.

As Others See Us.

i T is said that everyone who does not come to
i Washington hopes to or wants to-. In the
years of the war thousands sojourncd here doing
their bit" for their country In hundreds OF COM
munities, also are those who have served in of
the departments, many of them experts, being
college men and women who took that postgraduate
in their speciality. 1t is not then surprising
to find in the Union of Minnesotas foremost
weekly newspapers published in the pretty little city
OF Princeton, this comment street car tie-up in
St. Paul and Minneapolis:
No who has not spent twelve months in
our National Capital is in any position to speak
of street car service Job himself could not
display more patience than do the long suffering
residents of Washington Sometimes the cars
come and sometimes they don't and when they
don't, the population cheerfully walks. Unless
conditions have changed greatly in the past
twelve months, hodup of all the cars on one
system for half hout is nothing unusual.
Day after day the men and women meekly
crowd into the cars, where the pay-as-you-enter
system is in vogue, deposit cents and then
wait breathlessly to see how many blocks they
will be carried before the comes to an unex-
pected stop and the passengers have the privi
lege of completing their journey on foot. With
the underground wiring system, there is not the
slightest possibility of the running when
there is a touch of bad weather and an extra
wet snow a particularly heavy deluge OF
rain means that walking is to be the popular
outdoors sport of the day.
This is but an indication Of how widely Wash
ington conditions are known throughout the coun-
try and how truly this is national city. The ex-
periences of visit or a temporary residence, are
taken away to the good i'll of the city. and form
a national public opinion. Washington should have
keen realization of this, and that this public opn
ion may be the controlling factor in any request
it may make of the country at large, while it has
no small effect in its reaction on Congress.

Opposes Prohibition.
, the Editor, The Washington Herald:

Strange, how this old world has
held up its head so well. after hav-
ing been degraded and humiliated
through these countless years with
out the assistance Of prohibition and
the good old U. s. A.-"wonderful!
Providential!" hardly expresses II.
The rest OF the world will follow
America only SO long as It can tap
our rich and wonderful resources;
no longer. Very few of this no.
100000 had anything to say in the
renunciation Of this so-called de-
grading vice to which Mr.. Shadwell
alludes. We have no prohibi-
ton in this country now, nor will
we ever have This so-called pro-
hibition that we are now enjoying
is nothing but a graft from start
to finish and involves both the low
and the mighty. There is no doubt
but what the intentions Of the Anti
Saloon League were good in their
early inception and that their goal
was the abolition Of the saloon. To-
day II. is very evident that all that
is being sought Is the almighty dol
lar.
1t is indeed wonderful" to have
to admit to the rest of the world
that our much-boasted American
manhood has become SO debiiitated
and emaciated that It cannot trust
itself, not even in the sanctity Of
it's home. with something a little
stronger than one-half of one per
cent alcoholic strength. This. nor
any other country. can ever pros
per under any such prohibition leg
islation, az has been wished on the
American people. The voice of the
American people today. as a whole.
is dead. Prohibition is not wanted.
nor is IL needed in this country.
