SYRIAN CITY TAKING
ON FRENCH CUSTOMS:
Result OF MANDATE
(Bv Associated Presel

BEIRUT, Syria, Dec. 22-The streets
of this accent city which for hundreds
of years have borne old Arab names
have been given French designations
as one result of the French mandate.
Although the Moslem press, which rep
resents a majority of the people. man
ifests the spirit of public antagonism
to the introduction by the authorities
of French customs ana the French
language, it comedies that French
occupation has been a boon to Syria.
The financial conditions of the prov
ince are more stable now. New laws
and regulations have been made for
the bar, placing the legal profession on
a higher basis. A new police force
has been organized, assuring the pop
ulation of better security than existed
during the Turkish regime New and
modern public schools are raising the
standard of education. In brief re
forms have taken place in all branches
Of the government for the betterment
of Syria.
A noteworthy event occurred a few
days ago when Marshall Gouraud, the
french nigh commissioner, proclaimed
the new constitution.
Four Divisions
According to the new regulations
Syria is divided into four autonomous
states, each endowed with deliberative
councils elected by suffrage. These
states are Damascus. Aleppo. the Alou-
ties and the Great Lebanon. AS re
CARDS the first three, they are to unite
In a federation with federal congress
appointed by the states governments.

aging its own affairs independently.
However it is at liberty to join with
the others when conditions seem fay

While the two cities of Beirut and
Tripoli are included in the state of
Great Lebanon, still they are to have
local autonomy. The law allows each
a general governor with executive
power. He will have an advisory
council nominated by the government
until elections are possible. The two
general governors will be nominated

Teaching Moral Fundamentals in Schools

The increase in the number of thefts in New
York, which have entailed losses to surety COM
panies of S10,000,000 annually from burglaries
and 100000 from embellishments, has induced
the board of education of that city to include in
the school system formal instruction in the SUBJ
ject of honesty.
The old maxim, Honesty is the best policy
has been brought to the forefront, and teachers
have been asked to help combat the crime wave
with an educational propaganda that will impress
upon the mind of the child that robber and
embezzler cannot escape the law
The head of big surety compan, in letter
to the educators of New York says:
Lessons showing that honesty is the founda-
tion of all successful business; and that without
honesty, education is of very little value should
become a regular part of our American school
training. The moral fbre-as well as the brains
of our American children must be developed,
directed and elevated by education. We feel
there must be widespread ethical regeneration
to overcome the threatened temptation of future
citizens
The superintendent of the Rochester schools
in his reply remarks that, in his judgment, there
has not been time in the history of the public
schools when they were working to this end quite
so intelligently as today.
Most school men will concur in this observa-
ton. The schools are not remiss in stressing the
ethical development of the child, for teachers
are realizing, as never before, that mere intel
lectual training is futile if it lacks moral back
ground. They know that their efforts are vain
if the child does not learn to distinguish between

Musings for the Evening

A man died the other day who
could write his name equally we'll with
his right or left hand; but even at
that, it is said he died in the poor

The other day we were reading an
interview with Bill Hart, the eminent
movie actor, in a magazine. The in
terviewer wrote:
with Mr.. Hart thus in a genial
frame of mind, we thought we would
venture our final and quite personal
question.
els it true that you are engaged
to Jane Novak?' we asked quite
bluntly.
THE keen eyes of Bill Hart soft
ened. He lowered his voice a little;
we think it was even bit husky.
Boy he said earnestly, she's the
finest little woman in the world-one
Of Gods own creatures-but there's
no engagement. And / guess there
won't be one"
The next day we read in the news
/ paper that Bill Hart, husky voice, soft
keen eyes and all, had been married
to Miss Winifred Westover.

Paris Landlords Complain
of UnprofitabIe Tenants

PARIS, Dec. 22.-Paris landlords
say they are the most abused persons
in the world. They agreed to this
unanimously at a mass meeting held
recently.
They reported they are unable to
collect rents from more than 10000
tenants or to evict these improbable
occupants.
All this is the fault of recent legis-
lation, say the landlords, giving ten
ants who We're immune from payment
of rent during the war the right to
find other quarters before vacating.
The landlords say that when they try
to sell their properties, no bids are
forthcoming because of the existing
situation.
