nounce that Spring is Here
Whereas on certain boughs and
sprays
Now divers birds are heard to
sing,
And sundry flowers their heads
upraise,
Hail to the coming of spring.
The songs of those said birds
arouse
The memory of our youthful
hours
AS green as those said sprays and
boughs,
AS fresh and sweet as those said
flowers.
The birds aforesaid-happy pairs,
Love mid the aforesaid boughs,
inshrines
In freehold nests, themselves,
their heirs,
administrators and assigns.
Oh, busiest time of Cupid's court,
Where tender plaintiffs actions
bring
Season of froic and sport,
Hail, as aforesaid, coming spring

Disarmament" +"

Secretary Hughes recent request
OF rne press that the coming inter.
national conference be properly desig
mated is bearing fruit. There are
fewer references to disarmament than
formerly. The fact Is gaining circu.
lation that disarmament is not the
object of the meeting, but a limita
tion as to future navy building by
the leading nations-another thing
altogether.
The mistaken designation, however
has gene far and taken a strong hold
In some quarters. A good deal OF
millennialistic speculation is af1oat
and some of it suggests that an effort
should be made to give the meeting
millennialistic twist; that disarma
ment-the real thing - should be
brought forward and insisted upon.
This would be mistake. for two
reasons: az 1t would be discourtesy
to the President. and (2) it would fail
of its object.
The President. in issuing his invi.
tatlonS to the conference, did not have
disarmament in mind and held out
no hope Of any such accomplishment
The nations invited will attend with
a correct understanding Of the Presi.
dents meaning and position.
1t will be difficult enough to reach
an agreement as to- |szure power on
the water. But this ss by no means
impossible. and discussion should de.
veiop a workable arrangement. Such
a proposition as disarmament, how.
ever-out Of reason and beyond
achievement-would throw everything
into confusion and cause the practical
men present to question the advisa,
bility of discussing anything.
But the proposition will not get by.
The American delegates will be proof
agafA9 it. while the foreign delegates
would not think of introducing it.
Evening star., 1921-09-15

the small number OF accidents to peo.
pie on the ground IL remarkable.
It makes little difference whether q
falling machine comes from 100 or
1000 or 5000 feet. Regulation Of the
height at which planes may fly over
cities Is. therefore. not particularly
important, except on the ground that
# q machine gets out Of control tenn
porarily It can be brought under regu.
lation from higher altitude. whereas
at a lower height there 10 no time for
recovery. Most Of the plane falls,
however, are vertical. That Is to say,
q disabled plane rarely volplanes to
the eaxsh. but :, drops sheer. Thus
higher aititudes hi the ease, of a 1all:
Ing pIafie merely add ID the force 81
the fall.
Majl Ges;torfs Thought is that
planes should be RESTRICTED from ay.
ing over great assemblages Of people,
q condition which in case Of a fali
would lead to the injury or death Of
many. Thus surely should be done.
The CnmnaissiOnars probably have the
power under the police regulations law
TO prohibit plane flights over the city
In circumstances to make for public
danger. But most Of the planes that
fly over Washington, are those of the
government. Would a municipal rule
reach that type Of machine?: This
question Is suggested in the light Of
the experience with government mo.
tor cars. which have been driven in
this city with marked disregard for
the regulations.
Evening star., 1921-09-15
Employed and Unemployed.

The Secretary Of Labor says in his
latest deliverance on the subject oi
unemployment: while we have oul
unemployed let US not forget the
100000 who are still at work"
These figures carry comfort and as
surance. They are very large, anG
they embrace many Industries. They
support the assertion that business fl
picking up, and also the hope thai
we are denitely on the way to nor
malcy.
We shall not arrive, however, with
out considerable trouble. Conditions
In the country are still greatly dis
turbed. Capital continues timid and
many men now employed are discon
tented.
Much Is expected Of the conference
that will soon assemble to consider
this whole question. The members
will represent the walks Of life where
reliable information may be obtained
and on that basis action will be taken
The government can do something
toward relieving the situation. but
not all. Individual efforts will count
and should be unceasing.. Confidence
must be re-established before all the
wheels of industry begin to turr
again and all who want work anG
are capable Of rendering service are
earning wages again.
The President will lend his full in
fluence to. the meeting. and open II
with an address. This will increase
its Importance and draw attention
from all quarters - the employed
hoping to retain employment. the un
employed hoping for better times and
a full dinner pail once more, and the
mem who pay wasessand SNOW the
value Of contentment among those
who work witt, 'their hands. =,

. School Societies,

Supt. Ballou is firm in his oppbsi-
tion to the maintenance Of secret
societies among the boys and girls
OF the high schools of this city and
in this position has the. support Of
the board of education. !; This is a
gratifying position. Some years ago
high school fraternities were put
under a ban because Of Developments
which brought to light their mis-
chievous influence in the schools, but
they have not been entirely eliminated,
as advantage was taken Of certain
features Of the rule of the school
board which permitted continuation
under certain restrictions.
The superintendent, in stating the
situation to- representatives Of the
Interfraternity Council, made the mat
ter perfectly clear when he announced
that the board is opposed to participa-
tion on the part of high school pupils
in any organization whose member
ship is narrowly exclusive, selfper-
petuating or secret, whose members
are pledged to, support one another
as against non-members. whose eligi.
bnity requirements are not approved
by the school authorities and known
TO all pupils, SO that all may qualify
for membership II they wish, and
whose meetings are not held under
school auspices and under 'onlcial fac
ulty surervision.
This does not prohibit the organi-
cation Of high school pupils into asso-
eiations. On the contrary ID prints
such, Organization. but It bars the
SECRET societies with limited member
ship. A public school is a democratic
institution and every appurtenant
paase of it should partake Of the dem.
Evening star., 1921-09-15

ocratic spirit. Every organization .of
pupils should be open to any one who
wishes to join, ,,apd who possesses the
necessary qualifications, Thus. ath.
letic clubs Of debating societies or
literary groups may require certain
proficiencies on the part Of applicants.
But nlepbership- should be open evea
in such conditions to all who apply
and who possess the qualifications.
The school fraternity, like the college
fraternity, is. not open to applicants.
for members are selected and do not
apply. They are the reverse of DEM
ocratic bodies. The annual choice of
members tends to make jealousy and
bad feeling on the part Of pupils.
Rivalries between fraternities for GER
tain specially desirable members lead
to friction. An unwholesome conten.
tion is generated
The primary business of the public
school is to teach the youth of the
community The particular purpose
Of the children in attending the school
is to learn their lessons. Incidentally,
they require social training and char.
acter development-if the contact be
tween pupil and teacher is cloae
enough. They do not go to school for
social purposes. The modern high
school pupil has plenty Of diversion
without the sorority or the fraternity.
Much is said about school spirit" In
the public education system. and the
plea Is made for the fraternities that
they tend to conserve that spirit. But
experience in the past has shown that
they are calculated to break it down
rather than to maintain it, as the fra
ternity member in a high school, hav-
ing his first experience in that sort
Of thing, is likely to become more
interested in the organization than in
the school.
Supervised student associations open
to all pupils and seeking desirable
objectives are to be welcomed. but the
secret society, with, it's exclusiveness
and responsibility, has no place In
the District school system.

Airplanes and Crowds.

Maj. Gessford, in his annual repert
as superintendent of police, directs
attention to the need of a law resu.
lating the flight Of airplanes over the
city. He calls attention to the fact
that during great open-air gatherings
and celebrations air machines are
flown at dangerously low attitudes
over participants and spectators. He
feels that some. safeguard should .te
adopted. =;
This matter has given rise to much
discussion elsewhere and In sorne
states aviation laws have been enacted
which prescribe aroutes Tand attitudes
under severe penalties for violation.
In some cases hights by airplanes
over cities are prohibited. Yet very
few plane fslls' have occurred within

Of identification has come to be init
mately associated in the public mind
with crime detection. Its usefulness
and efficacy as a means Of bringing
those without the. law to justice has
been amply established. Yet. while
these facts serve in a measure to
pave the way for more general use
Of the science of dactyloscopy. they
likewise tend to prejudice the law
abiding citizen against the proposi-
ton that he be required by law to
place his finger prints on record. II
is the purpose Of the international
Association for Identification, which
will shortly meet in convention in
Washington, to initiate the task OF
breaking down this recognized popu'
lar prejudice and to stimulate a more
friendly interest in the potential
values of nationwide finger printing.
Those values are not difficult Of ap.
probation when once the mind is freed
of the indicated aversion. Finger
prints have been established as an in.
fallible means of Identification. And
when one ponders upon how. were
the finger prints Of every citizen OF
the country upon record, the science
might be applied to everyday life, the
plans advocated by the association
make strong appeal. Under such q
system the identification OF kidnapped
children, of wandering boys and girls
of aphasia victims, etc., would be rem
dered simple. The use Of the science
by banks and insurance companies
would be general and valuable. And
when one considers that there were
last year in the United States 10000
unknown dead. 80 per cent Of whom
might have been identified under the
system advocated, the proposals OF
the association assume great impor'
lance.
Those proposals, briefly outlined
are as follows: That all men
women and children over six years
old in the United States be required
to place their finger prints upon rec
ord. That finger print bureau, sepa
rate and distinct from any criminal
bureau of identification. be established
at each county seat. one in each state
capital, and a national bureau IN
Washington. And that one set OF
prints, as made, be filed in the county
state and national bureaus, respective
ly. There is much to be said in favor
Of such a program. With it in effect
large benefits would undoubtedly ac'
crue to the public.
