The Crowded Schools.

Expectations regarding the public
school enrolment have been fully real
lied, and the schools today hold more
Il year ago at this time. The school
population on the 9th of October, 1921 +,
was 63.576, while yesterday, one year
later, it was 65,49S. And more will
come later. The peak of the load"
will be reached some time next month,
and then. it is now estimated, more
than $1,000 pupils will be under in
struction in the grades and the high
and normal schools, the largest num-
ber ever recorded in the history of
the local school system.
A striking fact in connection with
the enrolment is that of the 1922 in
crease the high schools show an in
crease of 1881. This is, in itself, a
most gratifying development, show
ing that larger percentage Of the
school pupils are continuing through
the course to the finish than hereto
fore. In other words, smaller num-
Der relatively have dropped out on
completing the grade system. This
may be due to the development of the
Junior high school plan, these schools
forming stepping stone between the
grades and the major high schools.
But this remarkable increase in
high school population, yielding a
total at this date of 1906 pupils. or
16 90 per cent of the entire school
population, means choking conges-
ton in all of the higher institutions
of the system. In every one of these
schools the facilities are exceeded. In
some of them parttime methods are
necessary. The Central High School,
for example, has 3,202 pupils at this
time, whereas it was designed to ac-
commodate not more than 1000.
These figures furnish additional
proof of the imperative need of new
buildings. A building program that
will meet the requirements must be
extensive, covering a number of years,
and each year adding materially more
tlidll llft rtiiiludl l!iti S1Sc liz tilC SShool
population. In a few months the new
Eastern High School will be occupied
and will then relieve the congestion in
that institution. But that section of
the city is rapidly developing, and it
is certain that in the course of half
dozen years it, like the Central, will
be overf1owing unless it is meanwhile
enlarged or another building in the
same part of the city is provided.
At the present rate of increase,
which is not abnormal or due to any
extraordinary cause, the school popu
lation a year hence will be 10000 at
the peak. If every one of the new
buildings now under construction or
authorization is completed and ready
for occupancy by the beginning of the
next school year the additional facili
ties will not care for this increase, and
in consequence there must still con-
tinue a serious congestion, hampering
the school work and lowering the val
ue of the system to the community
These school population figures carry
their lesson to those engaged in fran
ing the District budget for the next
fiscal year.

The Democratic Program.

Recently, The Star suggested that
the democratic party, in it's appeal for
control, should have program; that
it should not stand in the campaign
upon mere criticism and denunciation
of republican performances, but out
line its course in case of success at
the polls next month.
A program has just been issued by
Mr.. Harrison Of Mississippi. speaking
through the democratic senatorial
campaign committee. It, is compre-
hensive, and as fervent as the prom
ises Of lover. On paper, it leaves lit
tie to be desired, but here and there it
needs Observation-Disclosures.

COMETIMES you sit down and try
y to figure out whether or not there
will ever be peace in Europe, and
when you have finished with your
speculations you find that you have
arrived at just about the same place
that you started. The student of
European history will tell you that
the Turks and Greeks have been at
each others throats for hundreds of
years, and he will also tell you that
despite the league of nations, the
four-power treaty or any other plan
yet devised Europe is no nearer
a real peace today than it was five
or six years ago. This condition is
regrettable, re but it obtains. There ap-

of Macdonalds, according to him,
took a pet dog to a well known spe-
cialist on canine diseases and left him
at the bow-wow hospital for treat
ment. The animal did not respond to
the usual methods employed, and so
it was decided, as .he was a very val
liable animal and a household pet, to
take an X-ray photograph. When the
plates were developed they showed

performed. A golf ball was extracted

The Red Cross and Its Task.

The American Red Cross meets in
annual convention here in circum-
stances that add greatly to the inter
est in the assembly. a situation has
developed within the past few weeks
in the near east that appeals strongly
to American sympathy and charity.
Millions of people are in distress in
consequence of a sudden turn of the
war tide and an outbreak of intense
religious and racial hatred. Emer
gency relief works have been insti-
tuted under American auspices, but
these are but slight in comparison
with the full task of succoring the in
nocent victims of conflict and destruc
ton. The American Red Cross is
therefore now planning program of
relief operations, for which its full re-
sources are pledged.
Judge John Barton Payne, in an
nouncing the assumption Of this great
work at yesterdays meeting said:
1.-The job will be done. If it takes all
the money we have we will spend it;
IL II taxes more we Will Sel II. Ie
Red Cross treasury now contains
about 2O.0O0,000, every penny of
which is to be now made available for
this work of relief in the near east.
And. as Chairman Payne declares, if
more is needed the American people
will give it.
This country is the great almoner
for the worlds distresses. 1t has given
unstintedIy billions of dollars through
the Red Cross and other agencies for
the aid of the unfortunate, victims of
disaster, of pestilence, of famine and
of war. 1t draws no line on race or
creed, or color or condition. 1t helps
friends and foes alike. 1t asks only
that the means it provides reach those
who are in need.
The American Red Cross is equipped
for such work, ready to assume il
quickly, capable of administering it
efficiently. assured of 100 per cent
use of every dollar. 1t commands the
confidence of the people of this coun-
try from whom the funds come. AS
Chairman Payne says, if more than
the twenty millions now in hand is
needed the Red Cross will get it.

Emergency Judicial Assignments.

Assignment of three judges of the
court of customs appeals to serve on
the District appellate bench, one being
named for immediate duty. will aid TO
bring that courts work more closely
up to date than it has been for some
time past. At present the Court of
Appeals is several months behind its
calendar, and this congestion is in
creasing. Congress has not needed the
request for an increase in the local
courts. but has provided for the addi-
ton of twenty-four members to the
federal judiciary. with authority in the
law for the assignment of judges to
serve on benches where they are ur-
gently needed. While this does not
make for the most satisfactory court
service. owing to the unfamiliarity of
assigned justices TO the peculiar condi-
tions of strange jurisdictions, yet the
aid is valuable.
In the same way it will be possible
for Chief Justice Taft to assign ad-
ditional judges to the District Supreme
Court if the condition of the calendars
there demand. For a long period the
District court has been in arrears in
it's work owing to the great increase
in the number of cases and the pro-
traction of some of them in trial. At
present the work of the criminal
branch of the District court is most
seriously behind, and if the war frauds
cases are brought to trial they will un-
doubtedly, through their prolongation,
further choke the calendars. In that
case special assignments may be re-
quested, and it is to be expected that
they will be made at once.
Justice in the District has been
seriously hampered by the delays in
the courts. BY this emergency meas
ure of special assignment the proce-
dure may be FASTENED. But there will
still remain the need of a permanent
increase in the number of judges in
both the Supreme and Appellate
courts, and it is to be hoped that Con-
sress will, despite the enactment of
the past session, consider the Dis
tricts requirements and enlarge these
two benches.

Suspicious even of each friend
Who offers them his hand.

Mid friendships taking wings,
