establish such a system would cost
practically as much or more than the
building of additional schools to re-
, lteve the overcrowding.
Many Changes Required.
AS outlined by school authorities
here is what would have to be done
to platoon the Washington school
system:
The schools would have to be placed
on a six-hour-day schedule. instead
of five, as at present, which wou d
result In a strong protest by the
teachers.
Every school building would have
playground. an assembly hall, equip
ped with motion picture machines, and
other instrumentalities for giving
visual instruction.; gymnasium. and
a large indoor playground for use in
inclement weather.
was pointed out, have adequate out
door and indoor Fairgrounds, as
sembly halls and gymnasiums. as a
platoon system would necessarily re-
quire. Neither have the schools NOV
ing picture machines required for the
authorities contend. that this plan
cannot well be adapted to the local
system without an enormous cost.
Discarded I'm New York.
The platoon system, 1t was said, was
first introduced in New York and dis
carded az impracticable. 1t Is recog-
niZed for it's economic value, 1t was
said, and not its educational value.
The Park View School, it was point
ed out. is being operated on q platoon
system, which has not all the fea-
lures Of the plan recommended In the
bureau Of education's report. The
six.hour day, however, has not been
adopted at this school.
Another bad feature OF the platoon
system. according to school officials.
is that it requires the departmental
izing of all children In the elemen-
tary schools as in the high schools.
DR.. Ballou said that he Is opposed
to the departmentalizfng Of children
in the elementary schools, especially
those in the primary grades.
Would Relieve Congestion.
Under a platoon system. it was ad-
mitted by school officials, about twice
the number of children can be ac-
commodated in a school building as
under this plan: 1t was said, the play
ground, assembly hall and gymnasium
school day. There would be a new
class on the playground, in the gym
nasium and auditorium every period
Supt. Ballou and other authorities
stated that they are not opposed to
the work-study-play plan. but are
the washington school system. They
indicated that they would make this
clear when they appear before the
joint Senate and House committee
which is Investigating the schools.

of the countless things said of
Theodore Roosevelt and the signifi-
cance OF his life we recall no one
SURPRISING, or equaling, the tribute
OF Calvin Coolidge in his address be-
fore the Women's Roosevelt Memo
rial Association.
DIR. Coolidge is able TO see Amer
lean history in its broad sweep and
perspective. He is a master of
style because his thought is crystal
clear. His sense of values is true
because based on a perception of the
inherent supremacy Of spiritual
tiles. His knowledge of human
motivation and the practicalities OF
lie leads him to understand that the
higher beauty does not blossom, per-
haps cannot, unless there exist con-
dstiong OF genuine freedom, includ-
ing that measure Of personal ma
terial independence which comes with
diffusion Of wealth and q lifting
Of the pressures Of toll Moreover, it
takes greatness to appreciate great
ness IN another, and Mr.. Coolidge
reveals his own great qualities by
the way he analyzes Roesevcit's
ey4atness.

Thrifters and Spenders

Letters exchanged between James
Rosthal, Of the National Prosperity
League, which is pushing a "buy
now movement, and Henry l.. Do
herty, worker in the "thrift" cam
paign, suggest how difficult it is to
prevent head-on collisions between
ideas of contrary implications.
Mr.. Rosthal comedies the great
need Of economy, but; Mr.. Do
herty comedies the necessity of pur-
chases if labor is to be employed, but
again but. AS near as can be
made out, one gentleman would have
enough buying and the other enough
refrain from buying, but neither ex-
actly defines what is enough. So in
each instance controversial blows,
though launched with great force,
land where the other fellow isn't.
That doing without things will not
tend to an immediate opening of
factories will be admitted; and, con-
versely, that lavish spending will
not build up stores Of loanable funds
The buyers strike that Mr.. Rostha]
assails as the root of evil is the cure
for what Mr.. Doherty condemns as
the spending orgy" Let an out
slider beware of participating in the
controversy.
Probably the most that he may
dare venture is the suggestion that
the disputants first get together
with respect to which need is the
greater-to open the factories at
once or to build up capital supplies
by borrowing which at low rates
many industries can break the
strangle hold Of the credit strain
To-day the borrower, when he car
get bank accommodation at all, is
required to pay in interest nearly
100 per cent more than in pre-wa1
days.
Having deep reverence for Ben.
janin Franklin and for the maxims
Of Poor Richard, it seems as il the
thrifters had a shade the better OF
the argument. One way to secure
purchasers is to have low prices
and low prices come when there is
cheap production, and cheap produc-
ton is laggard when there is 8
dearth Of capital.

f Enter Mary Garden

1t needs a Vachel Lindsay to do
Justice to that all-conquering Amer
lean, Miss Mary Garden, who last
night took her first trench in her
operate assault upon New York.
Judging by the announcements
of her admirably named business
manager, Mr.. Spangler, her meth
DDS outside the opera house are
likely to be "a cross between
Bill Bryan campaign and negro
camp meeting. In Chicago he
purposes to get the tired business
man into the opera house in overalls
if necessary-the old social eclat of
the proceeding is to be tossed into
Lake Michigan. The old distinction
between grand opera and music is
to be blotted out if Mr.. Spangler has
his way, and opera fans will become
as numerous and lusty as baseball
fans-perhaps
Will similar methods work in this
effete town? One answer is that
they did work under Oscar Ham,
merstein. Society was nowhere at the
Manhattan. and yet-or, therefore,
as the cynics might say--music
faourished. At any rate audiences
Of more musical intelligence and
warmth assembled than the Metro
politan usually knows. The magic Of
the Hammerstein hat turned the
trick. Which leads to the conclusion
that in America either opera must
be social function, inextricably in
tertwined with late diners and a
show in the body Of the house to
rival and handicap the proceedings
on the stage, or it must be popular
uprising led by hero-or heroine
who knows how to charm plain
music lovers and showgoers into an
opera house.
Is Mary Garden such a leader?
Can she urge the faithful to press
where her white hand waves-aad
will they press? Only the season at
Chicago and here can give the an
swer. But let no one doubt the pos
sibility Of success. Grand opera can
be music and the un-dress-suited
public can be persuaded to attend.
Only since a great artist is needed
to achieve the former and a great
Snowman to achieve the latter-a
conjunction of talents which seldom
occurs under one hiatt is too early
to cheer victory. We can only
wish Miss Garden good HUNTING and
may her show gain all the success
its art deserves!

A Job for Christabel

Miss Christabcl Pankhurst wants
a job. She so declares in the want
columns Of London newspaper,
openly and candidly. Not being dis
posed to cry down her own and be-
ing apparently persuaded that good
wine sometimes needs bush, she
states that, "owing to the victorious
termination of her leadership in the
cause Of women's political enfran-
chisement," she seeks "rcmunerative
non-political work." In an interview
Miss, Pankhurst explains her speci-
fication for remunerativc non-politi-
cal work on the ground that she re-
CARDS herself unavailable as a polit-
ical leader because she lacks finan-
cial independence.
The success of the woman suffrage
movement in Great Britain, az else
New-York tribune., 1921-01-25

where, has released many womepfof
marked executive and organizing
ability, but few with more than Miss
Pankhurst. She should be able to
find something to her taste. Doubt
less she will find it not far away
from politics. Once in politics it is
not easy to lose the habit. Women of
her type are needed and the
laborer is worthy Of her hire. The
English tradition that public life
should be a non-gainful occupation
in many respects is fine, but it de-
prives society of the services of
many Of it's best and tends to estab-
lish class rule.
Two years ago Miss Pankhurst
wrote pamphlet the burden of
which was that the proletaiat as a
distinguishable class should be abol-
ished-not by the Lenine method of
leveling down but by the demo-
cratic method of leveling up. "There
is no reasop," she said, "why the
performanceAof manual labor should
involve the existence Of a special
proletarian class. The conditions
under which the proletariat live at
present must be brought to an end,
and the proletariat must enjoy the
same advantages as the bourgeoisie,
so that the two become indistin-
guishable."
Here is an idea, perhaps not strik-
ingly original, but big enough to
justify the creation of an organi-
zation to promote it, with a perma-
nent salaried head in the person of
so capable a propagandist as Chris
tabel Pankhurst.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-25

our common sense democracy, Lin
coin its savior and Roosevelt its re-
storer. What was the task Of Wash
ington? To subdue the pack Of local
egoisms which, if unclaimed, would
have led the new continent to repeat
the follies of the old. What was the
task of Lincoln? TO overcome a prir
vate interest, radiating from the
slave power, which had established
itself in sinister control of the gov
ernment. What was the Task of
Roosevelt? To arouse and educate
the people into intelligent knowledge
of how noXious influences were once
more at work to deprive the average
man of his heritage. The tasks were
different in immediate objectives
they were alike in goal and purpose.
Great men," says Mr.. Coolidge
in one of his illuminating sentences,
care the ambassadors of Providence,
sent to reveal to their fellow men
their unknown selves" In one sense
great men do not lead-they merely
fertilize and bring life. They are not
supermen, but rather reagents-pre-
cipitate the concrete out of that
which was already existent but
diluted, vague and without form.
Such was the chemical gift of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. He gave form and
body to an Aspiration in solution in
millions of heads and hearts.
Turning from the eulogized to the
eulogists, it may be remarked, if
there was no evidence save this one
address by Calvin Coolidge, that
events are kind to the American
people in bringing about his selec-
ton to the Vice-Presidency. Should
anything untoward happen to his
chief the country will have as con-
Stitutional successor one who in in
tellectual grasp and reverence for
the essentials of liberty will measure
up to any demands made upon him.

The Victory Medal
Further estimony From the Wearied
and Waiting Applicant

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In Answer to II. R. Holbrooks
letter in your paper of the morning
regarding the distribution of Victory
medals, / would like to say that he
may consider himself one of the lucky
few if he passed through the long line
or red tape and finally received his
medal within one hour and fifteen min
utes.
would like Mr.. Holbrook to just
get an inkling as to the little time
had in acquiring, or, rather, trying to
acquire my piece Of bronze.
About one monsh ago, went down
to the Twenty third Street navy re-
cruiting station with my discharge and
all other necessities (even taking the
precaution to carry an extra fountain
pen for fear one might break or wear
out after signing my name so con-
tinuously as ia the custom). The
chief petty officer at the recruiting
station advised me that to get posses
sion of my Victory medal would have
to take my discharge OYER to the Sd
Naval District in Brooklyn, so conse-
quently the next day I reported at the
above place. After waiting there one
hour and thirty-five minutes | was told
by some kind-heartcd civilian who was
supposed to work there that all dis
charged men received their medals at
the Twenty third Street station in New
York. Several days later ! reported
back at the latter station, and after
! filing out few forms or applications,
| left, with the promise that they would
inform me when I was to come for my
Victory medal.
SO far the only words have received
or rather read, are the recruiting post
ers, on which they ask that they want
US back because the decks need to De
washed down.
might add that if Mr.. HolbrooK
really did receive his medal one koof
and fifteen minutes after he started 1or
it, it was in all probability due to fhe
influence the men who accompanied MIN
! had with the authorities to whom they
went, as Mr.. Holbrook stated in his let
ter that one was a commander ol eh'
local American Legion post and tns
other q Victory medal official.
If the government thinks so little oi
its ex-servicc men as not even to try "
assist them in acquiring this meaa
