SCHOOLS BAR
 CRIMY WALLS
 DIRTY FLOORS
tBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July 23-School build. ings should Americanize by setting before children standards of cleanli. ness, attractiveness and sanitation. Neither American nor foreign-born children should be exposed to the effect of living daily in schools with grimy walls and dirty floors.
 These were outstanding features in recommendation made by William T. Mccoy, vice president of the American Federation of Teachers, in rendering to the Chicago High School Federation his report of the eastern conference of the organiza tion held recently in Washington, D. c.
 Our school plants should be mod. els of neatness and sanitation," he said. "The existing deterioration of the school system throughout the country makes it imperative that teachers themselves establish stand ards desirable for school buildings. We note with regret that pupils and teachers are becoming accustomed to surroundings below the standards of their home environment The so- cial menace we see in this situation is that the public school will not continue 10 be a civic model but a symbol of degradation.
 The following standards for school buildings were submitted for adop. tion by teachers throughout the United States:
 Rest rooms for girls and teachers.
 Lunch rooms for pupils and teach CTS.
 Clothing closets with facilities for drying and ventilation
 Drinking fountains so adjusted that infection from this source will be- impossible.
 Hot water, liquid or powdered soap.
 NhHOIutely sanitary cOndltlOnS in toilets.
 Thorough cleaning of class rooms nt least once month.
 Abandonment of use of class room without natural light and pure air.
 "Insistence upon systems of ventil- alton. heating, and sweeping which do not dry up or contaminate the air.
 Maintenance of needed repairs within buildings and of a neat ap- pearance outside.
 Strict conformity to regulations established by the fire department.
 Only as American teachers set the standard that school buildings shall be safe and clean can they be said 10 perform their duty in teach, ing civics. The building will speak louder than the teacher"

permanent peace and the reduction
Of the heavy burdens Of armament
remains to be seen
without a doubt the people Of the
civilized world are earnestly hopin-
for solution Of the arms question
that will bring continued and lasting
peace to the earth. But what the pco-
pie desire, and what government
will 90, are often widely at variance.
Delegates from the principal world
powers represented in Y Washington
were quick to rally from the stun
ming blow administered by Secretary
Hughes. They accepted "in principal
the American proposals, bat quoted
their acceptance with the statement
that the actual working out Of such a
revolutionizing plan would depend
mainly upon the possibility Of their
technical experts and advisers being
able to reach a common ground IF
understanding
These technical advisers may rise
to the supreme occasion and liberate
the world from the blight of war
Then again they may not. No one
knows in advance just what an tex
pert will do or say. Technicality is
their god, the shrine at which they
worship. They live in an atmosphere
of their own, out Of touch and out Of
harmony with the mass Of the peo-
pie.
The American. proposals were ac-
cepted only 'in principal"
No country could afford to go on
record as doing less, after America
had taken the lead
In working out the details the tex
perts" attached to each set of dele
gates will manoeuver for position, in
the age old effort to gain as much
as possible for self.

rifices from others, but few will be
willing to make them.

If they sincerely desire peace, they
can have it by adopting the simple

If they have secret leanings to-

sequence is that the peace conference
