PRAISE. VALUE OF PRESS

An added impetus was given the
movement to encourage Washington
school children to study the proceed
ings of the conference on the limita-
ton of armament for their fundamen-
tai educational value when the board
of education, at its meeting yesterday
afternoon, unanimously indorsed the
campaign.
This action was taken on motion OF
William L. Houston, who pointed out
the advantages the: District scho"l
children have to study at first hand
the great historical events now trans
piring at the arms parley.
DR.. Abram Simon. retiring presidents :
of the board. asked Supt. Ballou II
there are any pamphlets available
which might assist the pupils in their
study of the epoch making proceed
ings Of the conference. DIR. Baliou re-
piled that the real opportunity for
following the conference comes
through the press.
Praises Press Reports.
THE completeness of the press re-
perintendent, sis remarkable"
In this connection it was pointed
out that pupils in many schools are
making their own pamphlets and
portfolios containing newspaper ac-
counts Of the conference proceed
ings. These pamphlets and port
folios, which are destined to be OF
great historical value in the future,
it was said. are supplanting the text
books in the classrooms during the
study of history, current events,
civics and other subjects.
The board also approved the state
ments issued by DR.. Ballou and As
sistant Supts. Stephen z. Kramer and
Garnet c. Wilkinson. calling upon the
teachers to urge pupils to devote
much time to the study of the arma-
ment conference proceedings as fully
emphasized that by impressing upon
the children the significance of the
conference they will have better
understanding Of the political and
economical history of the world.
Facilities for Study.
DR.. Ballou declared that the school
system is not taking advantage of all
the government resources in an edu-
cational way. He told Of the Smith
sonian Institution offering printed
matter for educational use. and added
that it is his purpose to work out
plans with the government depart
ments to obtain foe the school sys-
tenn the use Of facilities which the
various departments OIef. Inc De-
partment of Agriculture, he said. has
long given assistance to teachers.

AERO NAVIGATION
BUREAUPROPOSED
President Recommends New
Branch in Department of
Commerce.

Establishment of bureau for the
regulation and development Of air
navigation in the Department Of Com
merce was recommended in the report
of the national advisory committee on
aeronautics transmitted to Congress
yesterday by President Harding.
81 think there can be no doubt" the
President stated in message which
accompanied the report. that the de-
velopment of aviation will become of
great importance for the purposes OF
commerce as well as national defense.
While the material progress In air
craft has been remarka pie, the use mas
not as yet been extensively developed
in America This has been due. in the
main. to lack of wise and necessary
legislation. Aviation is destined to
make great strides. and I believe that
America, its birthplace, can and should
be foremost in its development.
Bill Now Pending.
IT. therefore. urge upon the Congress
the adyisability of giving heed to the
recommendations Of the committee. the
first and most important of which is
Department of Commerce for the regu-
lation and development of air naviga-
tion."
A bill to create such a bureau is now
pending before the House commerce
committee.
The report, which supplemented one
made last April to the President,
recommended continuation Of the air
mail service and development OF avia-
ton for military and naval purposes.
Liberal provision should be made, the
committee said, for maintenance of
the Army and Navy air services, and
for training of their personnel.
The report emphasized the necessity
Of encouraging scientific research and
the construction of new and improved
types Of planes. Efforts must be made
to sustain and stabilize the aviation
industry, the committee held.

~ tells us that his heart jumped into
his throat. II had not the moral
courage" he said, ito halt and con-
slider what to do; l kept right on"
That is the whole story Of how
Grant got to Appomattox; he kept
right on. Starting without friend
at his back, and with only a long, I'M
broken trail of disappointments be-
hind him, he never asked for promo
ton, an assignment or favor, yet this
unambitious man rose to be general
in chief
No conqueror ever was higher souled
than Grant at Appomattox. Sad
and depressed, as he tells us, at
the downfall of valiant foe, he met
Lee as If that foeman In war were a
neighbor in trouble.
When he became president 1t was
Grants misfortune to know no one ex-
cept his associates in the war. The
self-respecting among them kept away
from him. But the self-seekers and
the camp followers crowded about a
man who never forgot and never dis
trusted friend, not even when he
came bearing Greek gift, and Sena-
tor Charles Sumner spoke scornfully
of the administration as a "gift en-
terprise."
The many scandals Of the admins
tration were mostly traceable to the
betrayal Of Grants childlike conf
dence in unworthy friends. "Black
Friday" in Wall street cast its
shadow on his family circle itself.

presidents private secretary. A mem
Der Of the cabinet was impeached for
squalid transactions, but by accepting
his resignation Grant let him dodge
the conviction.
A liberal section Of distinguished
Republicans revolted against Grants
election to second term, but they
were mostly leaders without follow
ers. The popular revolt did not come
until the panic of 1873 had plunged
the country into six years Of hard
times, and 4 tidal wave In the cleo
ton Of 1874 swept the Democrats
into control Of the house.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC
COLORADO DAY

The Sunday schools of the city are
to act as hosts to all the people of
Glenwood that care to partake of their
hospitality on Monday, August LIST,
which is Colorado Day and is to be
observed as alf-holiday by at least
a part of the business firms of the
city.
The joint Sunday school picnic is
to be held in Noonan's grove across
the Roaring Fork, where the children
and as many adults as can get away
in the morning are asked to assemble
at about 10 o'clock in the morning.
Games are being arranged for by =
committee which will include sports
for every age and both sexes, and they
will start as soon as a sufficient crowd
has gathered in the morning, and con-
tinue in the afternoon after dinner
has settled sufficiently. Prizes are to
be given to the winners in the dif-
ferent events, but just what they will
be is being kept secret by the COM
mittce on that phase of the activities
until the day of the picnic.
Everyone is to bring their own
lunch, and all the lunches will be put
together and partaken of after the
regular picnic style. The Sunday
schools are going to furnish ice cream
and lemonade to the picnickers, and
the dinner hour will be placed late
enough so that those who work in the
morning will have time to get over to
the grove in plenty of time to par
take of the dinner. Everyone is asked
to bring their own plate (paper plates
will dol, cup, spoon, and fork if they
need one, as these things will not be
furnished at the grounds.
One important thing that the COM
mittee wishes to emphasize is that
everyone who expects to attend MUST
turn in their name to some member Of
the committee from the various Sun
day schools if they wish to be sure Of
receiving ice cream and lemonade ut
the dinner hour. The committee is 60
ing to do everything in its power to
see that refreshments are provided for
all who attend, but VIC cannot guar
tee refreshments for those who fail to
let some one know that they are COM
ing. Names may be turned in to your
various Sunday school superintendents,
or to r. Bruce McKeown, Ollie Thorson,
D. G. Belden, Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Win.
tiers, Mrs. J. L. Conger, Wesley Curtis,
Miss Maud Cole or Miss Mellon

Lets all turn out and help to make
this one Of the pleasantest affairs that
Glenwood has enjoyed in q long time.

The extent to which federal aid has
been applied to the trails varies in
the different states. Naturally, the
Western states are using much more
Of the federal appointments in de-
veloping roads of this character than
the Eastern states. This is due to
the fact that the routes in the East.
ern states already had been improved
to a large extent before the roads
were selected by the pathfinders. This
was not true In the West, where long
stretches Of the selected roads were
still in an unimproved condition when
they were designated.
Nevada leads in its use of federal
funds on roads Of this character.
Dighty-three per cent Of its entire
mileage of approved federal-aid roads
lies on one or the other of the trails
which cross the states. On these
roads Nevada will spend 80 per cent
of the federal money which has been
granted to her.
Indiana is close second, with 50
per cent of its entire federal-aid mile,
