One Board Is Enough

II HE maintenance of high standard Of
medical education in Virginia is Of
+ ;,reat importance to all of tho people Of tho
;tate. This safeguard can be guaranteed 10
The public only by requiring all medical
practitioners to meet tho board, scientific
'es;s OF competent board of examiners.
since this board must not be committed to
ny one school of medicine. to any single
1aethod of treatment, and must confinc its
examinations 10 the field Of general medical
J knowledge. there is nothing TO justify du-
lication OF its work. One such board is
s'nough.
The General Assembly has under con-
:sldcra;ion Il bill providing for Il separate
examining board for chiropractors Enact
oncnt OF this bill into law would lay a pre-
| cedent upon which any school OF medicine
41night reasonably demand a board OF cx-
f1'miners of its own. Aside from the clum-
finess and confusion of such an arrange
fnent. uniformity of standards would soon
disappear and the average Of required medi-
cal education would drop TO lower levels
tWhatercr the immediate effects of passing
this particular bill the way would be opened
Tor an attack upon educational standards
| that are vitality related TO the public well
flare.
1t is not the part OF the State to approve
| OF reject any school Of medical practice The
examinations conducted by the State board
are not designed TO exclude any school
Qua!Ned practitioners are left To choose
S1heir own methods Of treatment But no
person should be permitted TO engage i'm
practice without having demonstrated his
inow!ed&e OF subjects manifcStiy pertinent

Ii Should BE Thorough

HE circumstances under which twelve
human lives were recently lost in n

That is to be made by Chief of Police Sherry
for special grand jury session. Chief
Sherry has been conducting an investigation
under the perfectly clear mandates of his
Office The facts that he has asccrtained
nave not been given To the public, but it is
not at all surprising that they impress him
as being sufficiently significant for n review
by the grand jury. 1t is probably the con
Viction of most Rich mond citizens that the
facts. concerning which there is no doubt
or controversy. are alone sufficiently chal-
longing to warrant the recommendation that
IL to be made by Chief Sherry to Judge Rich
ardson.
Richmond cannot afford to let this dis
aster pass without insisting upon the closest
scrutiny of every aspect of the matter. Grad
ually the scene of the tragedy is being
cleared Of sombre reminders. The dead are
being laid to rest. The injured are leaving
the hospitals. a busy community turns to
other things 1t might be Il fairly easy
matter TO drift around TO the view that the
incident is closed. That has been the his
tory OF similar misfortunes in other COM
muntics.
II is gratifying TO learn that the Chef
OF Police is not victim of apathy. II is
Ia be hoped that his investigation has de-
reiopcd every fact necessary to full rcvc-
iation, and that the grand jury will make
the use of these facts that will best serve
public safety in the city OF Richmond

This system of popular selection of can

Every Man ~ Landlord

9 ECRETARI HOOver's department is de-
~ voting great deal of attention to the
subject of housing. This is one of the big
gest Of the country's domestic problems. and
reports from Washington indicating agree
inent on certain fundamentals of the solu
ton will awaken nationwide interest par
ticularly in the crowded ccntcrs-lke Rich
mond. for instance.
Last year gave the country n moderately
good record in home building II is esti-
mated that five times as many houses were
built as i'll 1920. But the fact remains that
we may hardly he said to have made n he
ginning. The number of homeowners is
still remarkably small. Ours is largely

the item Of rent fingers more persistent
in the price attitudes of wartime than al

family budget.
Whatever is seriously and intellgently
proposed to alleviate the burdens OF ten
antry. especially when those burdens are
aggravated by wide disparity between the
number of house seokers and the number of
houses deserves thoughtful attention. The
Department Of Commerce. naturally is not
going into the business OF building homes.
1t is, however, attempting to formulate a
practicable program. 70 only for home
building, but for home ownership. Stand
ardization, perhaps, is the word that comes
nearest summarlzation OF its plan; and
special attention will BIO given to the wide
spread construction of small houses
II is expected that the near future will

ernment conferred under tho treaty, follow
ing ratification Of the pact by the Irish
parliament, has announced that referen-
dum vote OF the Irish people will soon be
taken on approval Of the treaty, and in his
stand for adherence TO the republic, De
valera has already inauguruted an active
campaign to bring about rejection of the
treaty in the forthcoming referendum. 1t
can easily be seen that one OF the means of
himself and followers to this end is to re-
new strife with Ulster revive all of the bit
terncss of the past and by creating IL gen.
cral state of terror accomplish the defeat
of the treaty and the overthrow of the pro-
Tisional government

Southern Ireland and il should not permit
a minority to ride roughshod over the de-
clslon of the majority. as il indicates every
purpose OF doing. AS an insprer of out
lawry, De Valera is no better than any other
man and should not receive any considcru-
ton whatever because of the position he
formerly held. If tho provisional Irish gov
ernmcnt finds itself poweress to do this
quickly, the British government will not
only be justified in undertaking the task,
but it will be its duty to do So The pro-
visional government undoubtedly has the
interest OF the people at heart but in the
confusion cngendercd by the renewal of
lawlessness, its influence may be under
mined and the Irish voters mislcd to give
their support to an unrcalizable phantom
and throw away all that they stand to gain
