The House Minority.

Mr.. kitchin of North Carolina, the
leader of the House minority, con-
tinues under the weather. No time
is set for his probable return to duty.
He is a very competent man for his
post. and probably chafes under his
disability. The House card must ap-
peal to him. The subjects are in line
with his past activities as legislator.
Particularly must he regard his alb
sence from the tussle over tariff re-
vision. He has specialized on the
tariff, and If on deck would head the
minority House members Of the con-
ference committee which will take the
Fordney bill in hand after the Senate
finishes its work of revision.
But in Mr.. Garrett Of Tennessee
the democrats have an excellent sub
stitute. He is a democrat after Mr..
Kitchin's heart. That is to say, he is
regular after the old order of things.
He and Mr.. Kitchin are in full agree.
ment on the tariff question, and as a
member of the conference committee
he will probably take the course Mr..
kitchin in his place would take.
And Mr.. Garrett has an opportunity
at this session which may capitalize
we'll for him if he continues through
the session as the leader on his side
of the chamber and the democrats win
the next House. In that event he will
probably be in the running for Speak
er, with his services fresh in the
minds Of all. He has been In Con-
gress since and including the Fifty
ninth, and therefore holds a place
among his party's veterans on Capt.
tol Hill. His district is SO safely DEM
ocratic it withstood even the repub-
lican onslaught Of last year.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON

After the Ball.
I'm trying to be happy and contented,
Although I never hit the social
whirl.
My aspirations have been circum.
vented.
I never dance with any pretty girl,
Although, of course. rather like to
see 'em
So gracefully go gliding through the
hall.
But all alone I haunt the big museum
In which a pleasant time was had
by all.
The Oldest families here politely mock
There's a mummy queen from old
Egyptian days.
I pay my homage to a diplodoccus
And tremble at dodo's naughty
gaze.
Though gone is all the gayety Of ma
tions,
A thrill of satisfaction great is mine
As I mingle with the neighbors and
relations
OF SO many an ancient and distin-
guished line.

Learning to Talk.

Addressing a conference Of teachers
Of English. Miss Alice NJ. Reynolds,
vice president of bank in Mil
waukee, expressed an opinion that
will be commended by everybody who
labors to prevent the deterioration of
English speech. She said:
"Financial institutions require that
their employees, especially those who
come in contac. with the patrons of
the bank. shall have cultural back
are coming to insist upon. can come
only through a substitution of real
English-high-brow English. If you
will-for the gutter argot which so
have picked up. This can be accom-
plished only through knowledge of
the best English literature"
The English language possesses a
very definite construction, and the
construction is far simpler than that
servance of the rules of construction
speech may be made clear and exact,
and II speech cannot possess these
possibilities it is of little value.
Years ago we had the theory OF
English speech. but not the required
practice. Now we have the practice,
but not the necessary knowledge of
the laws governing 1t. The blame can
not be charged wholly to the schools.

Secretary Davis School Plan.

Secretary Davis plan for high
school reorganization in the District,
just submitted to Senator Capper for
consideration by the joint committee
Of Congress, will not Immediately
elicit approval by those who have
been most closely studying the local
school needs and seek early correction
OF the conditions from which the sys-
tenn is suffering. 1t is, however, an
interesting contribution to the thought
bearing upon school betterment and
will call for earnest consideration.
Broadly, Secretary Davis plan is
for city college. rather than high
school system. 1t may be that such
an institution is desirable. 1t has
been projected in the past, though not
In such a comprehensive manner. In
deed, more than thirty-five years ago
the late Edward A. Paul, principal of
the high school-there was then but
one for each race-drafted a proposal
for q city college, to be evolved out
OF the high school system, not replac-
ing that system, as Secretary Davis
suggests now, but supplementing it.
The high schools have always been
regarded as the eliminating points of
the grade system, as preparatory
schools for college and normal school
work. Manual training, introduced over
thirty-seven years ago as an expert
ment, has become an important fea-
ture, calling for not merely a special
school, but for technical equipment in
other schools. Business training has
called also for special school. Thus
the tendency has been to specialize,
and at the same time the high schools,
divided for geographical convenience
also, have grown enormously in size.
Every one Of the seven, despite the
provision of new and larger buildings
for them in recent years, is over
crowded today.
The question arises, in connection
with Secretary Davis proposal,
whether concentration is as much to
be desired as separation. Doubt has
been bred in many minds recently re-
school as against the smaller. One of
the high schools, built for about 1900
pupils with every regular seat occu-
pied, now has more than 5000 pupils.
Individuals are submerged in such
great mass. Contact between pupil
and teacher is reduced to the slight
est degree. The school becomes a
huge machine and. save in the cases
of the few exceptional students, schol-
arship suffers in consequence.
What Washington's system needs
today chiefly is a large addition i'm
mediately to its grade-school plant,
with additional high-school accommo-
dations. All seven Of the high schools
are suffering from congestion. even
the greatest of them. 1t will be nee
essary for the joint committee to con-
slider whether to recommend enlarge
ments along all lines, or for the
present along special ones. No doubt
Ine uesL result for the District would
be to proceed with a comprehensive
building plan designed to catch up
with the school arrears in, say, five
years. If in the wisdom of the school
authorities and of Congress the con-
centrated high school system just
proposed is adopted, it should be as a
further development, along the lines
of a collegiate institution rather than
a part of the basic school system of
the capital.

British Interpretation that "insular
dominions'' included the mainland of
Japan but in doing so the United
States probably felt that it was not
compelled to use physical force any
more in that regard than in relation
to any other islands OF the Pacific.
The question OF how far the treaty
imposes moral obligation which
might ultimately in any case involve
the use of physical force applies
equally well to an attack ON the
Philippines as any other islands in
cluded in the treaty, so the addition

position which happens by accident
to be an island is regarded by the

Few of our North Carolina farmers

The opportunity for making a profit
from the business is almost assured
and bare necessity will force our
farmers into a greater production of
hogs Why delay?
/ According to the 1920 census of N.
C. there are just about enough beef
cattle. hogs, and sheep in the state
to last months, taking as the aver
age per capita consumption of meats
for this state as the average for the
U. S. in 1910. Think of a great state
like North Carolina with it's great
enough meats to supply her people
only 4 months if all the herds were
to be consumed-not counting cattle
listed as milk cows.
The cHce of Swine Extension and
the Office of Livestock Marketing of
The Extension Service. Raleigh. N.
c., are earnestly endeavoring to turn
the attention of North Carolina far
mers in the cotton growing areas to
that of producing more hogs as a
money crop. Where a large number
of cotton boil weevils will appear in
the spring of 1922. the farmers of
this section might as we'll figure that
they are better off now than they
will be for several years IL they fail
to grow less acreage of cotton and
more food and feed crops for live
stock. Hogs make a most excellent
money crop under boil weevil condi-
tions and an opportunity Is offered at
the present time for a sreAter pro-
duction of hogs on nearly every farm
in North Carolina.
We can never have that independ-
ence that should come to N, G. far

meats, especially lard. and bacon.
