SAFETY FIRST FOR CHILDREN
Many Requirements Furnish Variety
Of Topics for Essays and Oral
Discussion.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The many requirements for safety
will furnish a variety of topics for
school chlldren's essays and oral dis
cusslOn. The dangers of railroad
crossings at grade, the economic JUS
tihcation for abollshing Them. the Inn
portance of an unobstructed view up
and down the track as a vehicle
approaches, and the disadvantage of
sharp turns, etc, are suggestive
subjects. Similarly there might also
be mentioned the questions raised by
street intersections and turns In
every town there are many crossings
where the autoist's view is unnec-
essarily limited by fences, shrubbery,
or buildings; or where sharp curves
with limited visibility invite serious
accidents. Guldeposts markers, and
other signs for the most efficient guild
ance Of traffic through thickly settled
communities also are part of the
bigger and more Inclusive topics of
the economic Importance of safety and
guldance-the actual money value Of
human life and Of accident prevention.
Another question, in solving which
the engineer and economist will need
the help of enlightened public opinion
(and this enlightenment should start
in the public schools) is that Of the
relation of the public highways to
railroads and canals. The advantage
of long hauls by rail and short hauls
by motor truck; feeding into main
terminal points by radiating systems
Of highways; division of the trans
portatlon burden by parallel systems
Of water, rail, and road transporta-
ton, are some of the subdivisions Of
this general heading.
This listing of topics is not intended
suggestive. Those which refer to con-
struction could best be utilized when
construction work is In progress in
the vicinity of school. Many Of the
other topics may be studied from
maps, of which the students might be
required to make tracings or free-hand
sketches showing the particular
features for which emphasis is desired,
or regarding which the exercise Is
being written. State highway depart
ments often feel the need Of better
popular understanding of the problems
of road construction, and their officials
would doubtless cooperate in hearty
manner. Looking ahead, it is easy ia
see an actual shortage Of men qualified
to carry on the work of highway de
velopment, so rapid is the growth Of
the good-roads movement. Highway in.

FAMOUS OLD CHURCH GONE
Flames That Consumed Historic WASH
ington Edifice Also Destroyed
Relics That Were Priceless.

st. Paul's parish church, in Rock
Creek cemetery, the oldest church in
Washington and one of the Oldest in
the United States, was recently de-
strOyed by fire. The interior Of the
building, valuable memorial windows,
old relics and paintings were burned,
and the four walls of the structure,
erected in 1776, were all that was left
of the historic edifce.
Among the historic relics destroyed
by the fire was a large folio Bible,
which was contained in a glass case
near the chancel. The Bible was
bought in 1927, was used for many
years and was paid for by the con-
gregation with tobacco. With the
Bible, also destroyed, were two large
folio common prayer books, the price
for which, according to records at
the church. was a quantity Of to-
bacco which was to bring not less
than aid per pound"

The women of the west proved that
they could vote intelligently and dis
criminatingly without losing their
womanly characteristics.
Finally the east was invaded. A
few states on this side Of the Missis-
sippi granted the ballot to the women.
The supreme victory was won when
New York went into the suffrage col
umn. After that it was but a question
of time when the whole country would
be enfranchised. After repeated fail
ures an amendment named in honor
Of one Of the three pioneers was
passed through Congress, and was
then submitted to the states. The
ratification of that amendment was one
of the most dramatic incidents in
American political history. It was a
race against time to get the women
fully enfranchised in season for the
election of 1920.
The women won. They voted. They
brought the percentage Of American
voters up to more than a quarter of
the population, the highest point ever
reached. Now. in simple marble form

The Career of Jan Smuts.

Gen. Smuts will have clear majority
Of twenty or twenty-five in the new
parliament of South Africa. In other
words, South Africa has voted to stay
in the British empire and that by an
Unexpectedly large majority.
Doubtless the statesmen OF London
are breathing easier, but they are not
the only ones to feel relief. Even people
who care nothing for the issues involved
rejoice at the victory Of SHUTS. He
has had the most amazing career OF any
man now owning a tithe Of his promi-
nence in public life.
A Boer by birth and blood, he fought
the British heroically in the South
African war He accepted the peace.
and took part in public anairs under
the new government which made the
Union OF South Africa virtually an
independent state within the British
empire. When the great war came.
he stuck to his allegiance. helped to
suppress his old comrades who tried
to revolt, conquered the German col
onies in Africa. He was one Of the
greatest figures at the peace confer
ence, and was northumberland right
ly--as one of the small circle of
truly great statesmen.
Now he shares with Lloyd George
the distinction which belongs to the
two allied leaders who have not been
swept aside by postwar discomfort.
Fate has not often packed more ro-
nance than this into the span for
twenty years.-Chicago Post (demo-

White and Hays.

Whether Chairman White goes or
stays: whether Chairman Hays re.
tires promptly upon entering the ,cabi-
net, or holds on for time. let US not
forget that Mr.. White is in Office by
the designation Of Gov. Cox, and Mr..
Hays by the designation Of Mr.. Hard.
ing. Neither man was a national
quantity four years ago.
According to custom, Gov. Cox
named his campaign manager. 1t was
expected he would name Homer Cum.
mings. who was familiar with com.
mittee work and the situation through.
out the country. But he turned, first
to the man who had managed his
campaign at San Francisco, and,
upon his refusal. to George White, an
old friend, who had retired from poll.
tics, but was now persuaded to re.
enter.
According to the same custom, Mr..
Harding named Will H. Hays, then
serving as chairman Of the republican
national committee, as the manager
OF his campaign, and Mr.. Hays ac.
cepted.
Should Gov. Cox be renominated in
1924. he may again designate Mr..
White as his campaign manager. But
il Gov. Cox does not try for second
nomination. or trying is defeated, Mr..
White will give place to another
some man named by the nominee of

March 4.

THE inaugural address, it is stated
Mas not vet been committed to paper.
Its scope and character have peen
thought out, and only the wordlns
remains unperformed.
But the wording is much. A felici-
TONS phrase, OF an apt comparison,
carries far in a public document, ana
particularly in a document OF unusual
moment.
Such a document will be the ad-
dress Mr.. Harding is scheduled to de-
liver March 4. The world awaits II
with eagerness. Europe Is as Keen
for it as America.
Hence, with such an audience-and
the audience on its toes-Mr. Hard
ing will score heavily if he sounds
the right note and in the right terms
when he takes up the duties OF the
presidency.
The guess is that the address will
not be long. Some inaugural ad-
dresses have covered a good deal OF
zround-too much to command the
proper attention. The shortest OF
record is that Of Washington upon
beginning his second term, while the
next shortest, and the most exquisite
in sentiment and diction, is that of
Lincoln upon beginning his second
term.
1t is not expected that Mr.. Harding
will enter into any particulars as to
policies. A few weeks later he will
communicate with Congress. and in
that message take definite ground
upon what he wants done in response
to the November mandate, and what
he considers feasible in the way of
reconstruction at this time of un-
eesiness and general dislocation.
