2 900 pupils. at forty to the room. This
number is about the equivalent Of the
annual growth Of the enrolment. and
thus the new accommodations will not
take care Of the congestion that pre-
walls in all the grades and in all Sec
tions Of the city.
Hence passage of the compulsory
education bill by the Senate should be
regarded as but the first step toward
material school enlargements. A joint
select committee of Congress has been
considering this question. with others
relating to school matters. for num-
ber Of months. and it Is understood
that action is contemplated based upon
it's conclusions. The only possible ac-
tion in relief of the situation which
the attendance figures reveal is the
adoption Of a comprehensive building
program. designed to care for more
than the annual increment at rate to
provide in at the most ten years for
every child within the newly estab-
lished school ages in the District of
Columbia.
Adoption of this compulsory school
attendance bill, therefore, is to be well
coined in addition to its own merits,
as guarantee of good intention on
the matter of school equipment. 1t
would. perhaps. have been more log
ical to assure the equipment before
providing for a larger school attend
ance. but if the former is guaranteed
by early congressional action there
will be no ground for complaint or
criticism Of the order of procedure.

Seeking Homes in Country.

The tide Is turning. Population,
formerly gravitating from the coun-
try to the cities. now is going in the
opposite direction. The movement is
noted particularly in the east, but If
it gains momentum, it will be felt
here in the near future.
There has been a tendency in the
east and middle west on the part of
the third and fourth generations to
give up the farms and remove to the
cities. Opportunity knocks at the
doors of young people who now are
prepared to relinquish. city life for a
period of years and to take up hold
ings in the country. Moreover. with
the improvement in roads and the
perfection Of the automobile. they
need not deny themselves wholly the
comforts, luxuries or pleasures OF
urban life.
In the east. the change is attributed
very largely to the automobile and
the good roads. City dwellers are
finding they can live more comfort
ably a short distance out from, the
cities than within the municipal con-
fines. The movement will not rob the
cities of population. They still will
grow, but the rural districts adjacent
to them will expand as they have not
in the past. It's good movement,
and one that promises we'll for the
future Of the entire country.-Seattle

Over Five Inches of Rain.

Coming in the very early morning
the extraordinarily heavy rain today
was not fully realized. A few persons,
perhaps, were aroused by the pound
ing of the water on roofs. and some
who awakened early for the final day
light-saving" start on the days work
knew from the noise that the down
pour was something out of the ordi
nary. 1t will, perhaps, be no surprise
to them to learn that the precipitation
during eight hours was within very
slight fraction of an inch from the
record. In those eight hours the rain
fall measured SIG inches, whereas the
greatest fall in twenty-four hours ever
recorded here was one day in July,
1873, when the guages showed $50
inches.
The fall of over five inches of wa
ter all over the District within eight
hours is a tremendous precipitation
for this climate. In tropical regions
such rains are not uncommon, but
here in the temperate zone a fall of
TWO lHCUSS d Qdy Is ucdNyp luEec
inches is remarkable and four inches
is astonishing. So that this mornings
storm is in the way of phenomenon,
which those who suffered from It
through disturbed transportation and
flooded easements will not want to see
repeated.
The volume Of water in a five-inch
fall over an area the size Of the Dis
trict Is tremendous. A drainage system
is taxed to its utmost to carry it off.
There is little cause for wonder that
the ducts of the street railway lines
were choked. that sewers backed up
and flooded streets and that some DAM
age was done to property. But coming
when it did during the early hours of
the morning, the greater part of it
while there was no traffic on the
streets, the disturbance caused by it
was at a minimum. Had the storm
broken at Z o'clock and the five inches
and more been precipitated between
that hour and in the afternoon Wash
ington would have been discommoded
as perhaps never before in its history.

voters all of both entertainment and

So three campaigns impose heavy
charge on candidates. The wonder Is
they do not protest. and agitate for a

HEN the people OF Arizona
1NI elected the Hon. Ralph
" Cameron to the United
States Senate they realized
that he would bring with him to
Washington one of the most unique
figures that the great southwest has
ever produced; namely. Charles s.
Daugherty. When Daugherty was a
day old he was given his middle name
and he has lived up to 1t ever since,
rs" stands for Sunshine, and that Is
not a nickname. He was born. bap-
tized, christened and otherwise en-
dowed with the name which SO aptly
describes him.
Daugherty has one of the largest
circles of friends among high poll
iticians of any man in the west and
he is one of the most devoted friends
that the junior senator from Arizona
has. In the lean days. and both of
them had them, they bunked and
bached together. For the benefit of
the effete easterner, "baching" means
living without the companionship of
womankind. men doing their own
shack or house in which they live.
They have been friends. yes, close,
warm personal friends. over since.
Like all men Of the great west, Sun
shine" has been prospector, peace
officer, a miner and has taken several
jumps in oil. The last plunge that he
made has resulted In his being a part
owner of a well that just came in
the other day. and 1t came in to the
tune of seven or eight hundred bar
reIs a day. Consequently, Sunshine
continues to radiate good cheer.

Seeking Revival of Courtesy.

Locally there is suggestion of q
campaign for the conservation of
courtesy among motorists as a rule
of the road. It's good thing. Fact
is, 1t Is so good thing that to give
the motorists a monopoly of 1t is in
vidious discrimination.
Courtesy! Once the badge of courtly
oned q curio of forgotten fashions
long since obsolete. The motorists
may find it on the rural roads seeking
the solitude of isolation far from the
madding crowd. It is seldom dis
cerned on street, on highway or else
where where the procession Of people
from whence to whittier rushes along
a restless and resistless stream Of
selfishness.
Now, Of course, that is somewhat of
an exaggeration, for sometimes one
disposed to courtesy and considerate-
ness does wander abroad and give
demonstration In kindly self-efface-
ment or ycourtly service in good man
ners. It is by these testified that
courtesy is not dead. but Just out of
selves curiously regarded or indiffer-
emily thrust aside.
The campaign is. timely for safety's
sake as projected by motorists. Most
Of them need polishing up In man
ners, as some Of them need polishing
up In morals But there are others,
The campaign should be made to COM
prehend every branch and division of
society in the broadest, widest and
deepest meaning Of the term. We
cettainly need vitality q baptism OF
courtesy and considerateness.-lC IN

A Modern Treasure Island

American bicycles are common and
priced possessions on Nauru, a mod
ern treasure island where every one
is rich. Nauru is one OF the famous
phosphate islands of the Pacific.
Formerly German property. 1t has
now passed into joint ownership of
the United Kingdom, Australia and
New Zealand. These countries have
bought out the company that was
engaged in mining the phosphate and
are operating the mines jointly. The
phosphate is divided in fixed proper
tons among the three owners, the
United Kingdom and Australia each
receiving fOrty-two per cent and New
Zealand sixteen per cent, and each
government Is bound by agreement
not to export it to any other country
or to sell it for export without the
consent of all parties concerned. The
mines that enrich the fields Of Eng
land and her colonies bring wealth to
the Gilbertese who inhabit the island.
Through selling fish and food to the
Japanese coolies who do the hard
work of Nauru. the natives soon be-
come wealthy beyond the dreams of

1922 Commencement

The commencement committee OF
Colby college held, a meeting in Au-
gusta last week and started plans
that will make the 1922 commence
ment equal to the Centennial pro-
gram in 1920. A college play will
probably be staged twice. One per-
Torrance will be for the college and
one for the towns peop.e. The cast
of the play will be made up of men,
bers from both the mems and The
women's division. This will be a
distinct feature as play has rot
been put on in this manner for sew
eral years. A coach will soon be APP
pointed and committee will be Sc
lected to help the coach chose an APP
propriate play.
Another unsual event will be the
dedication of Colby's new stadium
that was started last fall and which
will be completed before the base
ball season starts. This is the larg-
sest stadiura in the State being over
325 feet long. built of concrete. The
