EDUCATIONAL.
WEEK PROGRAM
High School Students Heard an In
teresting Educational Program
Yesterday.

American Education week was OBJ
served in a fitting way by the high
school yesterday afternoon, p'o-
gram of unusual interest being
given with President II. NJ. Crooks
of Alma College and Chester r.
Robinson, commander of the George
w. Myers Post No. 1872 Of this city,
as the speakers.
Some very interesting musical
numbers were also rendered, includ-
ing a solo by Miss Fromilda Young
of Alma College, and two numbers
by the girls double trio.
In his address Mr. Robinson called
attention to the ambitions and the
policies of the American Legion as a
peacetime organization. He also
pointed out the illiteracy in the Army
during the war, as showing the con-
ditions which are still prevailing in
this country. He urged that the
students in the schools avail them
selves Of the opportunity to secure
an education and also urged them not
TO overlook the opportunity to secure
knowledge of the foreign languages.
President Crooks stressed physical
education strongly, including GYM
nasium work, play grounds, etc, and
urged that such educational work be
made compulsory, or a recreation Of
the physical education of the ancient
days when everyone took part in
games.
He spoke of the way that Alma
high school products were establish
ing themselves at Alma College as
has been shown through the range
of the intelligence tests conducted
there, showing that they are top
notchers.
In closing his address he urged
that salaries should not be made the
underlying principal in changing
teachers in the schools, but that
qualification should always be kept
in the fore front
A goodly number Of parents from
the city attended the exercises in
response to the invitation of the high
school

carrying case of Il widely known make
of portable typewriter The owner,
who is very enthusiastic about her
machine. recently was planning a
weekend trip. When she began TO
pack she found that another member
of the family had borrowed her tray

abandon the visit or turn borrower
herself and there was little time left
I'm which to do the latter.
Then she had brilliant idea, and
the typewriter was removed from It's
case. set away on the piano and the
necessities for the week end visit were
packed.
AS the young woman started for
the train. case in hand, she admon-
ished the only member Of the family

think II is the typewriter l am taking,

A system of Shorthand and Book
keeping twenty-five years old is Of but
little use today.
As the steamship has crowded out
the. sail boat, as the typewriter the
goose quill pen and pokeberry ink, 30
have the famous Byrne Systems Of
Bookkeeping, Business Training and
Shorthand taken the place Of the old
systems, and the Tyler Commercial
College with its modern progressive
business methods has taken 1t place
at the head Of American business train
ing schools. The reason is plain;
these systems cut in half the time and
cost of becoming an expert account
ant or stenographer; they teach bust
ness as well as Bookkeeping; they
make it possible for the student to
graduate and begin earning while the
student of the other systems is lesa
than half through his course; they give
the student more thorough practical
working knowledge which means a
salary and the college has kept abreast
OF the times and met the demands Of
the most exaeting business Office.
These practical, modern, time-savlng
systems can be had In this section only
in the Tyler Commercial College. You
would not think Of riding in horse
drawn vehicle in preference to an auto.
mobile. Then why think Of studying
the old oxcart systems Of accounting
and stenography when you can get tho
Byrne Systems which possess such
wonderful advantages that they enabl-

Opposes Gasoline Tax
For Maryland Tags
m m. EDITOR of Tbe Star :

To the Editor OF 1ne Stuf'
Every now and again there is a
"feeler" sent out proposing a gaso-
line tax in the District in exchange
for Maryland tags. On this PROPOSE
tion l am ready to vote-and my vote
is No.
why should I. who seldom ever
drive over Maryland's superb roads.
be required to help pay for Maryland
tags for the business man who axes
daily trips from Washington to Bal
timore or other Maryland points?
Nothing doing!
Though only occasionally do I drive
in MARYLAND. l am not unwilling to
pay for Maryland tags. Maryland has
roads-real roads. Those roads cost
MARYLAND real money. and those who
enjoy them should not mlno helpinS
to pay for them.
However, I am not opposed to q
gasoline tax in the District-provid-
ing the receipts therefrom are used
to repair and improve Washington's
streets and District roads. 1t Is un-
thinRable that Washington: the cap
ital of the United States Of America.
the mightfest and richest nation in
the world; Washington. the worlds
most beautiful city: washington. the
political. financial and Intellectual
put up with streets and roads many
Of them inferior to Mary lands ordi-
nary country roads.
If blind man could drive an auto
mobile and should take any street
leading into Maryland. he could tell
the moment he crossed the Maryland
line by the difference in the roads.

What says ths nan or woman who
thinks that a legislative body Of one
chamber would be an improvement on
one of two, or thinks even that laws
could he contrivedt and passed in a
way different from the present one
altogether?
What says the man or woman who
thinks that the President possesses
too much power. and should be re-
stricted to one term Of four or six
years. and stripped of some Of his
power? And SO on.

Factionism the Wear.

The republicans are not monopoliz-
ing the woes Of factionism. They are
troubled considerably in that way.
What with this bloc, that bloc and
t'other bloc-blocs to the right. blocs
to the left, volleyfng and numbering
they are much distracted.
But, as misery loves company. they
can derive some comfort from turn
ing to the other side and noting the
situation there. The democrats are
troubled in the same way. and prob
ably in equal degree. Their troubles
are not so much In the picture. be,
cause Of the fact that they are In the
minority. The republicans being re-
sponsible for public business have the
call on attention.
Every little movement has a mean
ing all its own" and, these times.
every little movement is noted and
examined.
Mr. Bryan drops In on Congress one
day, chats with his friends and chaffs
his opponents, leaves both with the
impression that he Is still a live wire
in politics. and HES him to Florida.
The next day-almost as If inspired
by Mr.. Bryan's move-announcemen
is made that Mr.. Wilson is concen-
trating now on politics. and is in bet
ter physical condition than at any
time since his seizure three years ago.
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Wilson are not
in politics as brothers Joined. The
one virtually opposed Gov. Cox in
1920. the other cordially supported
him. Mr.. Bryan is hailed as an ally
by the drys, Mr.. Wilson as an ally
by the vets. And there are other
points of difference.
At present factionism is the wear.
and may be until 1924. on both sides.

tions on the part Of the labor mem
bers, who cast decorum aside and
spoke their minds with little regard
for the traditions. They went SO far.
indeed, at times as to threaten "un-
CONSTITUTIONAL measures, one member
shouting on the way to the voting
lobby, I'VE will fight, If necessary, on
the Streets"
All this is disturbing indication OF
a new spirit in parliament. Although
the ministry has q large. clear ma
jority, it can be greatly hampered by
so militant and defiant a minority.
The unemployment problem is grave
one, and it will not be lessened or
advanced toward solution by the in
-.nperate demands and actions Of the
labor group. On the contrary. threats
Of revolution are calculated to induce
more conservative action. The govern
ment is frankly at a loss in the 'prem-
ises. Unemployment prevails to such
an extent that private industry can
not possibly provide a remedy within
a long period. for there is no present
prospect Of such a revival of manu-
featuring and trade as to absorb the
idle workers. The question is whether
the government Is to undertake large
works. giving employment to great
numbers, or to increase the doles
which are now the sole sustenance Of
the unemployed. Either expedient
means more taxes. and the present
trouble is largely caused by the
already heavy tax burden.
