Flays District Schools.

To Editor The Washington Herald:
Once when my eldest boy was 3
years old / received an urgent re-
quest TO report to his teacher. These
appeals had not been infrequent
during his school career. He re-
quires too much individual atten-
tion." He is bright but chafes un-
der restraint" He finishes his
work before the others and then
won't behave"
went to school and sat in a
corner of the room waiting for the
teacher. In that half-hour of wait
ing, thoughts burned with a hre OF
rage. In the fetid atmosphere OF
room heated to eighty-eight de-
grees. for looked at the ther-
mometer. sat fifty children. Ten OF
the boys and one or two girls looked
alert and full OF life and spirit.
They were giving the teacher trou-

American Exports.

T is not unnatural that there is feeling that
i too much importance is attached to the foreign
trade of the United States since it normally repre-
sents but from to per cent of the country's
total production But analysis of what consti-
utes these exports shows clearly why this foreign
trade so materially affects the prosperity of this
people.
The American delegates to the International
Chamber OF Commerce at London, reported to that
body that the United States produces a quarter of
the worlds agricultural products and one-thrd
of its minerals. OF these foods and metals, there
are sold to those of other countries and exported,
90 per cent OF the cotton IS cent OF The grain
so per cent of the copper, 20 per cent of the pc
troeum and considerable proportion of coal, meat
and IRON All of these represent new wealth. They
form the bulk of what makes up the country's con-
tinued prosperity. They what nature adds to
the national bank account.
They are as raw" as any raw materials can be.
That is they contain the smallest possible labor
increment. 1t is manfestly not only important but
vital that the country should alone realize
this wealth, but that it should the best
possible price the best possible exchange value
for other commodities of which there is not here
exportable surplus. 1t is the free flow to the
best markets which this class of products needs,
rather than any form of tariff to prevent their i'm
portation. With proper system of transportation
anu QlSulDuuOn, tHcIc Is no OCCdSlOH ioI tearing
importatons of what produce large
plus and so large proportion of the worlds supply.
That tariff these products is
say is due in the larger part to the fact that the
system for their domestic transportation has grown
Nike "Topsy" without other direction than human
nature has provided and it is not human nature to
look out for the other fellow. That is supposed to
be the product of Christian civilization
This country is transporting its commod-
ity products the highest possible rates; all the
traffic will bear and then some No adequate ad-
vantage has been taken of our waterways whose inn
provement would greatly broaden foreign commod-

to increase not decrease prices and to decrease

tenn frequently hampers export does the exces
sive cost of transportation. Low carrying cost and
drectness to the ultimate market are two factors
of far importance to commodities of which
there is greater surplus production than any other
With such great portion of the basic products
subject export for the foreign trade it is evident
that the United States more stand aloof in
these days from foreign entanglements than any
manufacturer from his domestic market. The
United States is economically entangled with the
rest of the world to the extent of billions of dollars
every year. If this government is of, by and for
the people, certainly it must follow such volume
OF trade as concerns every one of its population.

y, 1t is only custom which clothes the police in
the old-time army blue which attracts and holds
the heat. There is reason they should not
have summer uniform of the same kind and color

distinctive from our army color. Also many police

police, has heart and big one He appreciates
what the morale of his force means If he owns a
shaggy dog he has had clipped before this time of

and he has great pride in his fine body of police.

all things humane possible, that the police of
Washington will blossom out some day soon in
light, cool summer outfits and they will show their
