This Maryland Chap Doesn't
Agree With Virginian on a
Popular Vote for Pro-
hibition.

To the Editor The wAshinston Her,ld:
Our friend the ''virginian" says
in effect that the people voted for
prohibition. VIII you please give
us the date Of this referendum ard
how many votes were cast f-r
each side. Also. as you intima:.
that you are so well Informed froTa
reputable sources on the facts re-
garding the question Of prohibit
tion, tell US why the prohibit o.
leaders so bitterly opposed E-y
suggestion of a vote by the peC1.r
on the matter. You are right. t.
system by which prohibition Va
forced on the people was rotte-.
1t is really true, so you'll have u
get sad instead of being glad -
you say you are. You had as,
better inform yourself about mat
ters before trying to inform psn-
pie who know more about the SUI
Ject than you do. The best tF.I
can be said for your article. "Er-
gtnian," is that Il is pitiful. 81,
article by George Anderson did 81
forth the truth. but all you have.
done is shown your lack Of kno ~ i
edge. l would say that the morS
sane article was written by Az
derson.
A. sane solution Of the prob -'-'-
ton question would be to let .--a
people vote on IL as Sweden -
Now back-fire prohibitionists.

The Little Red Schoolhouse.

|OLUMBIA UNIVERSITY educational ex-
perts tell that the little red school
house wasn't very efficient after all. They have
made up their minds that one weak girl cannot
teach the three RS to twenty or thirty mis-
chevous youngsters-and accomplish her task as
we'll the city school teacher.
But education cannot be made matter of rules
and stop-watches. There is an inde6nable some
thing about the country schoolhouse that produces

on World Topics
Girls, Not Men, Now Set Tone In
Colleges, Says Former Pro-
fesaor, After study,

Lucien Cary. former instructor OF
English at Wabash College. has just
completed a comprehensive study OF
the modern college life to find out
what has brought about the changes
in 1t and what part the so-called flap
per has played in the evolution.
Writing Ii: the coming issue of Nc
Calls. he says in part:
THE present younger generation Is
the most startling thing that has hap
pened to these United States since the
war. Everybody has attacked its
dress. its manners and its morals for
two years. But nobody has explained
II.
"The change in the attitude of
young people (and particularly in the
attitude of the girl of the period)
came spontaneously. 1t is still only
partly conscious and almost inarticu-
late. But 1t has now reached the pro-
portions of a revolt-a revolt of ac-
tion-against the older generations
ideals Of conduct. And the adult re-
action is still to look aghast while
listening to the latest scandal about
the young. There is scarcely any at
tempt to understand what the scandal
means.
''I had heard that coeducation had
changed its sober habit. I had heard
that young men with heads for busi-
ness no longer worked their way
through college as laundry agents.
that they had found a more profitable
enterprise in bootlegging. I had heard
that young women In college not only
bobbed their hair and rolled their
stockings and smoked cigarettes and

their insouciant noses at the ideas and
ideals Of their mothers. but that they
drank the stuff that bootleggers SELL
thought they knew and who were not
in the habit Of lying. But I did not
really believe it. investigated.
"The thing that has happened. and is
happening. to all the coeducational
colleges. Is not a revival of drinking
but something much more important,
with much deeper consequences. The
coeducational colleges have ceased. in
some cases, to be colleges for men to
which women are incidentally admitted
Men no longer control college actiyi-
ties and set the tone Of college life
as they did. Increasingly. girls
girls of the period-girls Of the flap
per type. set the tone of college.
At one university I found that
dates. had become a public issue.
At a great massmeeting. goods were
exhorted to promise that they would
not make a date with. or receive a
call from. a candidate for an athletic
team during the athletic season. The
goods made this promise
what was that but an implicit
recognition of the fact that the goods
ruled?
Goods already control the social
life OF the colleges. The craze for
is sufficient evidence of that"

pends From the
Pope.
To the Editor. The wsshinrton Herald:
Greatly to the surprise OF all
loyal Americans. the soldier bonus
bill has been passed in the Senate.
Through intrigue and sophistry,
Of the most diabolicaI sort, the re-
dictionary forces. directed by
agents Of the Romap Catholic
hierarchy. have so far succeeded
In carrying through the most gi-
gantic political robbery ever at
tempted.
The fact is. these political ma
rsuders are not Americans; unques-
tionably a large percentage OF the
money which would be distributed
under the provisions Of this bill
would soon find its way into the
Golfers of Rome.
Sufficient warning has been given
TO awaken every loyal citizen and
legislator to the plot and purpose
Of the Roman Catholic hierarchy TO
capture America and usurp our
democratic institutions and ideals.
Men Of Congress! BY resisting the
passage OF this bill. you have
aligned yourselves upo nthe side OF
democracy and constitutional gov
eminent as opposed to the autoc-
racy and political slavery expressed
[ in the Roman Empire Church sys-
tenn which centers in the Vatican.
