Lieut.. J. Andrew Virgins, director

created in this famous military-musical

Ten Year School Plan,

Inc ten-year school construction
plan tentatively agreed upon by the
Joint congressional committee of in
qulry into school needs would prob
ably go far toward remedying the
situation and relieving the anxiety Of
citizens and school officers as to the
future. The yearly struggle to get
what ought to be provided for the
growth, extension and undermining of
the District school plant is heavy tax
on the time and endurance of the au-
thorities. 1t requires that the same
ground be gone over and over, that old
reasons be restated and old arguments
reargued. With such a ten-year plan
az proposed by the committee the work
OF bringing the school plant into line
with modern ideas in school construc-
ton, and in bringing it and in keeping
it. abreast of the steadily increasing
school population. could be carried on
smoothly and effectively. The, appro-
priation for schools in the current bill
while not all that was looked for by
the people of the District. is more than
it seemed likely at one time we would
get, and in view of the great demands
for economy and the pressing need of
money for so many other objects there
Is no reason to complain.
The chairman of the joint committee
of the House and Senate, Senator Cap
per, which has been making a survey
of the local school problems, and
which has been mapping out plan
for taking care of school construction
over a period of ten years, believes
that when the committee plan shall
have been cast in it's final form it will
be approved by Congress. The COM
mittee will render a service to the Dis
trict and the general cause Of educa-
tion by turning out a plan which will
let the authorities know what will be
done for the schools over period of
years, and which will obviate the an
nual conflict of claims and counter
claims, estimates made, unmade. re-
made and slashed. The school situa-
tion needs with other things little
peace and quiet that the school au-
thorities may devote their full time to
carrying on school work.

Congress and the National Defense.

1t is worthy of special note that
Congress is seeking and securing in
formation about both the Army and
the Navy from the best sources. Gen.
Pershing was again before the House
committee on military affairs yester-
day with relation to Army matters,
and Gen. Lejeune of the Marine Corps
before the House Navy committee
with relation to naval affairs.
The millennialists would bar these
men and other men trained for war
from all communication with Congress
while Army and Navy matters are un-
der consideration. Are not their views
pretudiced on such subjects? Can they
see anything but red when force is
mentioned? Are they not always in
favor Of top figures for all force equip
ments?
Besides, did not the armament con-
ference modify the whole force ques-
ton? Did it not put force on the
toboggan? Why discuss or provide for
force now on any basis even suggest
ing pre.conference ideas or purposes?

Bad Checks and Bad Debts.

The police department says that an
unusual number of worthless checks
and forged checks are being passed in
Washington. and it promises a clean
up of the forSerS and .other check
crooks. If there is Il way of cleaning
up these people they should be
cleaned. The crooks themselves should
have no exclusive right to make
"clean-ups."
One way to aid in the cleanup is for
men to be shy in accepting checks
from persons they do not know to be
all right. 1t is not unusual to see in
shops and hotels the sign. mo Checks
Cashed" 1t works well. The man put
ting up the sign need not enforce it,
snd generally does not enforce it to
the bitter end. When a man offers his
own check. and when the hotelkeeper
or shopkeeper is reasonably sure that
the man Offering the check is good for
it, he will cash it. Merchants and
others accepting or cashing checks
drawn by others than the persons pre-
senting them take risks, and they can
limit their risks by the exercise of
commonsense and caution. Honest
men will understand why another man
is coy about accepting check from a
stranger in payment for goods, or re-
fusine to cash a check drawn by an
other.

Bert Williams.

The death of Bert Williams removes
an influence in public entertainment
whose Importance is greater than the
public that seeks to be amused is
likely to realize. OF African descent,
he had the subtle quality Of original
identity which interests, the person.
atty which overcomes prejudice and.
above all, the faculty of self-education.
His school was the theater; lightly re-
garded by the tired business man, but,
nevertheless, broad as the comparison
must seem, the school OF 4Eschylus.
Euripides and Sophocles. As the old
poets adapted themselves to their day
and excelled in the sublime, Bert Will
liams adapted himself to his era and
excelled in the ridiculous. He enliv-
ened many dull scene by his native
drollery, and carried himself with a
personal aloofness which claimed no
consideration that his abilities could
not command. He drifted into condi-
tions peculiarly advantageous to his
type. Fun, distinct from intellectual
Or satirical purpose. was the demand
of the hour and he knew-possibly
scarce knowing how he knew-the
way to supply it. His pecuniary re-
wards far surpassed those Of the aver
age professional man. Yet thinkers
and teachers gladly paid tribate to his
drolleries and thanked him for a clean
and decent standard of entertainment
such as his many hurnt-cork imitators
have not been able to maintain. His
sable humor was not merely revela-
ton of erratic identity: it was an in
depreciation, sympathetic and ana
lytic He displayed phases of human
ity that his environment had permit
ted hin. to study, and by the touch Of
nature that makes the whole world
kin impressed himself in remarkable
predominance over the gorgeous stage
trappings and elaborate mechanisms
of melody and acrobatics which con-
stituted fitting background for his
genuine and unaffected comedy.
