unless they do their part they will suffer loss in
public support.
There is another field in this campaign to sup
ply the required teaching force, to which the insti-
tute in its admirable work. may have given atten-
ton This is among the schools themselves, the
school authorities, the superintendents and boards
OF education and the attitude of cities toward teach
ers The old plea that teachers are class apart
and must nd their solace, well as much of their
remuneration in the loftiness of their calling, is
losing its force, They may be the saviors of the
republic, the moulders of future citizens, the
makers of national character and all that sort of
thing. but they would like little more of practical
recognition of their service than that of lip oratory
If they are doing all this, if they mentally
and spiritually capable of doing it, they would like
more, to say of how it should be done of the
methods to be used and the system to be followed.
1t is plain fact that in most city school systems
there is more of autocracy and less of democracy
than remains in any other American institution. 1t
is more complete than in industry, or trade.
The teachers who have to apply the courses of
study know best what it should be to get the re-
suits it is their part to secure. They know best
the faults and virtues school administration and
school management whose details are largely in
their hands for enforcement. They are the ones
and the only.ones in direct daily contact with the
pupils and they best appreciate where the exact
as yet hardly a science, conflicts with common
sense and human nature, and so fails in accom-
plishment.
Teachers are largely denied initiative, tip right
OF development in the profession, freedom of ap-
piled personality and fexibilty in applying methods
dictated to them. They often required to be but
pumps to fill mental cisterns regardless, of the
pacy Of those cisterns the kind of material they
formed to receive. Often the system is re-
garded as superior to the teachers the pupils; it
is more sacred than the objects it is supposed to
obtain
There will be vastly Jess difficulty in getting
teachers when they are given more independence,
more consideration, more chance of advancement
and greater opportunity for self-expresson. 1t is
not alone salaries which have emptied the schools
of teachers, but system of suppression, where
there should be the greatest possible freedom for
developing the limit of individual capacity

Seaman's Act on Great Lakes.

THE States of the Great Lakes are asking
amendment OF the seaman's act which for
some inexplcable reason was made to apply to
inland waters well ocean marine As a
fact shipping conditions the Great Lakes and the
ocean have certain radical differences both as to
bulk and package traffic, but even more especially
as to passenger boats.
1t is to the last that changes in the act
are asked. 1t should be known that the American
passenger boats on the lakes which OF course also
carry package freights, in direct competition
with Canadian lines which are unhndered BY this
law This is advantage which has enabled the
Canadian lines to largely crowd out the American
and absorb the bulk of this business.
Equally important is the fact that all lake traffic
is largely that of the short haul. There is seldom
a longer period than "a hours when these boats do
not enter port pass near to The density of
the traffic, too on the lines of travel may be real
lied from the fact that ships pass each other on
an average of once each five minutes They all
have radio equipment and it is mariner OF long
memory who can recall the-1oss Of passenger ship.
There are lines of long standing which have meyer
lost single passenger.
The passenger season is limited by the act to
from May IS to September IS, which is merely
the tourist The passenger boats operate
considerably longer than this and an extension is
asked from May to October IS, certainly not
an unreasonable request especially as the time of
dangerous storms and bad climatic conditions is
later than the middle of October Indeed the act
in many particulars seems to have been drawn and
passed without intimate knowledge of Great Lakes
conditions, and result many vessels are
anchored in ports unable to operate.

ANSWER TO MR.. DEvRIEs
LETTER.

To the Editor. The washington Herald:
The negroes of Washington have
read with much amusement Mr.. De-
vries opinion of the Williams YER
dict in Georgia. And have come to
the intelligent conclusion that he is
just one more white man blinded
with race prejudice, without a COL
lection OF facts. When he spoke OF
having visited the South and found
the white people gentle, refined. law
abiding, with a fine sense Of humor,
we agree with him. Because il was
the better class of white people. in
Georgia, with refinement, law abid-
ing. and with a fine sense of honor,
that sent Williams where he be-
longs, plus the gallows. And God
knows that Manning should follow.
We negroes think Mr.. Devries Is
a fine and valuable example for q
disinterested observer. We full
well see that he has not been a
close observer, but a narrow one.
The unsupported evidence negro, or
In fact. negro evidence. which he
speaks of, does not call for argu-
ment. The intelligent Federal, and
State agents in Georgia are well
satisfied that williams and Man
ring are guilty of murder, also the
court knows it So why should he
try to change it in a futile way.
To my mind the policy of the Re-
publican party towards the negro Is
inspiring. II the Republican party
uses the negro in politics as one
would use a pawn on a chessbo8rd
this should more and more inspire
the negro. In a game of chess every
man should be careful Of his every
movement against the other man
They all have a goal to reach. and
IL the one man is not very careful
the other man will reach his goal a
winner.
That is the case with the negro in
politics. You don't have to go to
any particular race to fnd bad men
and women; they are found in every
race in Gods world. The South
makes trouble for itself by not
sending to the gallows black and
white murderers. as well as to Jail
those who break the law in any
form. The treatment of the poems
on Williams farm is enough TO
make every savage in the jungle
blush with shame. And firmly be.
lieve that the better class of white
people are going to clean this coun-
try Of mob law, and everything
which stains American civilization
Do you not know that one time in
this country 1t was a pleasure for
a lawless mob to hang and lynch a
negro only? But today 1t is quite
different, they will put a rope
around a white mans neck as quick
as they would a black man. Do you
not know that one pleasure" brings
on another? That Is the spirit OF
mob law, bold, brazen, and 60 ge,
them all.

Monroe Doctrine.
HARDING'S address at the dedi-
cation Of the Bolivar statue included an es.

hRESlDENT HARDING'S address at the dedi-
cation of the Bolivar statue included ex-
ceptionally able, clean-cut, well expressed
statement of the Monroe Doctrine. 1t was timely
not alone because Of the presence of official repre-
sentatves of all the American governments but for
its international effect beyond this hemisphere 1t
can be read with profit in Tokyo and equally so in
the courts of Europe. The President sad
There have been times when the meaning of
Monroeism was misunderstood by some, per-
verted by others and made the subject OF dis
torting propaganda by those who in it an
obstacle to the realization of their own ambi-
tions. Some have sought to make our ad-
hssion to this doctrine justification for pref
udce against the United States They have
falsely charged that sought to hold the ma
tons of the Old World at arms length, in order
that we might monopolze the privilege of ex-
plotation for ourselves. Others have protested
that the doctrine would never be enforced If to
enforce it should involve in actual hostilties
The history of the generations since that
doctrine was proclaimed has proved that we
never intended it selhshy; that we had no dream
OF exploitation. On the other side the history
OF the last decade certainly must have convinced
all the world that stand willing to fight If
necessary, to protect these continents these
sturdy young democracies from oppression and
tyranny
Certainly that does not express an "interna-
tional engagement" treaty of arbitration" nor a
regional understanding" 1t expresses simply and
solely independent, individual policy on the part
OF the United States toward its near neighbors 1t
Is based upon nothing save the statement of a
President OF the United States 1t is rule of con-
duct, doctrine principle by which to measure
that conduct founded upon that broad self-nterest
such as would protect neighborhood in which a
man lives, from infectious disease 1t is a sort
OF quarantine established around this hemisphere BY
this government, acting alone.
But it is purely protective, not exploitative; it
Is helpful not greedy. 1t takes economic advan-
tage for this government, not open to all others
1t reserves nothing for this country and it con-
Germs political encroachments by Others while it
an equal pledge that will undertake them.
If Japan wishes to know why this government
objects to its methods in China her people should
read the Presidents address and note its reception
by the representatives OF the other Americas. She
might then realize that while this government might
not object to her PRONUNCIATION of a Monroe Doc
trine for the Far East, there is objection to her
calling her methods in China by that name. They
different light and darkness. They are
exactly what President Harding has shown the
Monroe Doctrine is

WANTS PLANTS LABELED

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
I think that there must be many
disappointed nature lovers who stop
here to visit the National Botanic
Gardens and find to their surprise
that almost none of the outdoor
plants and only a part of the indoor
ones are labeled. My impression was
that IL is a fine park but not q
botanic garden. 1 was told that
people destroy the labels. Certainly
the people here are not more de-
structive than the people Of other
and smaller cities where the trees
and flowers are neatly named, and
where labels are replaced IL any
thing happens to them. All prac-
tical means of encouragement should
be given to nature study.
The attendants are very courte-
Gus. but very few observers are able
to recall and apply the names of
strange objects when the numbers
run into scores.
To become familiar with plants
one must visit them at different
seasons. Familiarity with them
with not breed contempt.
On the Capitol grounds and other
parks, labels are more numerous
than in the botanic garden, but
they are not all correct.
In Lafayette Square one label has
