make a profound impression. Judgment
must be used in this matter, however, and
there should never be any suggestion that
they are being instructed in these things;
1t would probably not be resented, but
the other method has been found to be
the more eficacious
1.-THE corporation Of the Board Of Edu-
cation is such program as have briefly
outlined would give an immense impetus
to this important work in Philadelphia, and
1t is by no means beyond the bounds Of
possibility that this cooperation may be
the use of some Of the school buildings at
times. and much could be accomplished by
allowing the use Of posters in the school
buildings, announcements from tho plat
forms and things Of this nature.
IF this work, however, should later he
taken. up by. the Board Of Education, it
should be considered as school activity
and not as an extra school activity, as would
be the case at present. There are many or.
ganizations and agencies In this city. all
these lines, and all are in complete accord
as to the kind of work which should be
done to achieve tho best results. Incl.
dentally, 1t might be added that none of
them duplicates the work Of the others.
Laying Solid Foundation
"A general program Of this kind lays
the foundation upon which may be raised n
superstructure Of physical, mental, spiritual
and social growth 1t should include social
service work. meetings of various kinds,
both active and discussional, with speakers
and lecturers on health, first aid, nursing
and similar subjects A book list is an
important thing. with discussion Of books
Of various kinds, the things which should
be read and the reasons for reading them.
1T has been my experience that little
really educational work, in the strict mean
ing Of the word, IS advisable. The things
which the girls want and need in this kind
of a program Is the recreational end OF
course, they absorb much knowledge that
is Of value, but 1t is absorbed and not
taught. and is perhaps the better learned
and the more effective for this reason. The
schools provide about all the actual In
struction that they desire.
''As / have said the progress that has
been made where this kind of program has
been taken up has been remarkable. 1t
is based upon the psychology and the physi-
ology of the adolescent girl---a solid basis
and an excellent background for progress.

BELATED PROTEST

TT THE address of Colonel A. NJ. Holding,
L of West Chester, president of the State
Bar Association. at its annual meeting In
Bedford Springs were carefully read by
every member Of Congress and by every
member of the State Legislatures it would
be moro difficult to insert irrelevant amend
mcnts in the Federal Constitution than It
was to pass the prohibitory amendment.
Colonel Holding, without committing him
self on the merits of prohibition, insisted
that the amendment had no proper place in
the Constitution. 1t is really a legislative
enactment restricting the police powers Of
the States in certain directions. ut was
not change, a correction, n reform, recti-
ication, alteration or emendation Of any
thing in the Constitution. he said; at was
rather an addition. piece of legislation
grated upon the fundamental law He in
sisted with soundness that this method Of
lcsislating by constitutional amendment vio-
latcs n fundamental principle Of our form
of government; namely, that laws are the
Will of the majority and are subject to
change as the majority wishes.
The Constitution creates a aw-making
body and confers on 1t certain defined pow
ers Of legislation and denies to it other
powers. This newspaper has said many
times that the prohibitory amendment ought
to have been in the form Of an extension Of
the powers of Congress to pass laws regu-
hitting even to the extent Of prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating bever-
ages. Such an amendment would have been
in accord with the spirit of the Constitu-
tton. But. Of course. 1t would have left
the prohibitory legislation to the discretion
of succeeding Congresses. This was what
the supporters Of the amendment did not
want. for they wished it settled once for all.
And they We're obscssed with the idea of
putting over their reform that, however
commendable tho reform was, they were In
different to the effect Of their method on the
principles at the bottom Of our constltu-
tional system of government.
If the public schools and colleges will de-
vote themselves to instructng the young
generation in the fundamentals of our con-
stttntional system 1t may be more difficult
in the future for any other specialists to get
their legislative specialties embodied in de-
tail in the document.
There is no constitutional prohibition Of
murder because the trainers Of the funda-
mental charter did not intend TO legislate.
And yet murder is at least as grave an
ofensc as manufacturing whisky.
If the men we'll grounded In the Const!-
tuition had made n concerted protest against
the form of the amendment they might have
succeeded in preserving the symmetry of the
document. Their protest now IS somewhat

CONTRASTS between the theory and the

undoubtedly partly responsible for tie

THE WET FLEET TANGLE

CECRETARI MELONS formal request
~ for a ruling by Attorney General Daugh-
erty concerning the sale Of liquor on Ship
ping Board vessels in foreign trade should
prepare the way for settlement of one Of
the most embarrassing situations with which
this Government has ever been confronted
There have been, of course. more momcntous
issues, but few in which points of legality,
ethics, social morals. economics and COM
mercc. and conflicting masses of public
opinion have been so confusingly involved
y definite statement by the head of the
Department Of Justice would undoubtedly
serve TO clear the atmosphere. But although
this ruling, whatever its nature, might be
accepted by the Treasury Department as
authorizing n change of its regulations,
such an outcome cannot be predicated.
Mr.. Darghcrty Is an attorney, not a
court. Resistance to his dctum on the
subject of the 'wet' merchant marine
would neceSSitate legal action. The ques-
t!on cannot be Conclus.vcly determined until

- after he resigned from the temporary
presidency of the fair association, 1T is
the SeSQu Centennial. That is the name
under which the exhibition association was
incorporated.
For a time it looked as If We might have
to have Liberty Fair for World Peace
and Progress. This last designation. suG-
Sested by the Reorganization Committee, is
TOO long.
The purposes Of the fair are inspiring
enough to suggest a fitting name. That It
will come Is certain, probably. az Mr. Lewis
suggests, from the people themselves. and if
the people have not lost their knack Of con-
else and picturesque expression It will have
the force of poetry and the vividness and
brevity and staying power of popular idiom.
