What is the Matter?

A certain father here is taking his young son
out of a Richmond public school and sending the
lad to private school for boys in another city
He gave the following reasons:
my boy is old enough at twelve and bright
enough in other respects to know how to spell.
The other evening | had him read to me para
graph from a newspaper article. be couldn't
pronounce properly half the words he read. Then
tried him on spelling. He couldn't spell cor
rectly half the words in that paragraph Then
tried him on the meaning of the words. He
didn't know the meaning of half of those words
Consequently I am going to send him to pre-
paratory school where he will be taught at least
the rudiments of learning"
Another man who heard this conversation
said, "I have two boys. One is eight and the
other ten. Neither one can SPELL | remember
when I was boy in the primary grade, Julia
Test made pretty fair speller out of me by the
end of the first year"
The writer of this editorial also began his
lessons in spelling under the guidance of Miss
Test. The methods then in vogue have since
saved him many trip to the dictionary. AS a
business man as well as an editor, he has learned
that results as we'll as means count; that results
show whether the means are right.
Ii the cases mentioned above are not eXcep-
tiona and the editor knows these three boys
personally and can vouch that they are not in
the least mentally defective, if other parents of
the community are noticing the same shortcom-
ings in the quality of education their children are
evincing, with all kindness to them, the school
authorities might explain just what kind of fu-
ture citizens they think they are helping to de-
velop out of children who can neither spell, pro-
nounce nor grasp the meaning of many ordinary
words.

THE OLD PROMISE
BY Walt Mason

New statesmen rise, at every shift,
and seem as slick as wax; of fluent
tongues they haYe the gift, and they
denounce the tax; if they're elected
they will lift the burden from our
backs. Oh, we are taxed, we helpless
skates, our load is sad to see, and ever
greater grow the weights that cripple
you and me; but there are always
candidates who'd gladly set us free.
We listen to these breezy chaps, who
fay the taxlist crimes, and give them
all the public snaps and hope for bet
ter times; soon we may pay our tax;
perhaps, and have some surplus dimes.

What the Wreck of the Roma May Teac

The destruction of the Roma, with loss of
"a lives and the wreck of the ZR-2, which killed
a number of American service men, has caused
the public to wonder if it is not time for the
government to make its own aircraft have
them constructed under official American super
vision. -.sa s.
The ZR-2 was built in England and the Roma
was recently taken over from the Italian govern
ment. No one will accuse these governments of
deliberately putting poor material into the air.
ships or of sighting them from structural
standpoint, because officials of both Great Brit
ain and Italy were in the craft when they were
on trial trips and consequently exposed to
the same hazards as the ones which confronted
the Americans.
Accidents are hard to prevent, especially in
field which is so comparatively as is that of
aircraft navigation; but when they destroy the
lives of our officers and men it is time that the
government itself seriously considered the prob
lem of designing and constructing the vehicles
in which its representatives are to risk their
lives.
Officials of the army say that the recent dis
aster will not deter them from continuing the
aircraft program. The public will not find fault
with this announcement, for air defenses are es-
sential and aeronautics should not be dropped
because of accidents. The collapse of two air.
ships, however, with heavy losses of life, sug-
gests that this type of aircraft may never be
perfected to the point where it will be a reliable
carrier.
