New York's new Democratic scna-
tor, formerly, it is told, the mayor
of Ann Arbor, Mich. has another pet
measure toward which he will bend his
energies. He favors restricted. rather
than limited immigration. He be-
lieves that examinations should be
held at American consulates abroad
and that the more desirable aliens
should be given entry into this coun-
try. He came TO this conclusion. he
said. after a trip over Europe last
summer.

DIR. Copeland doesn't intend TO join
any bloc. I'm again en-" sizes up
his attitude toward them. though this
is what he actually said: I'm OPP
posed 10 one eroup o. senator's or
people aligning themselves against an
other. I'm not going 10 join any
clique or bloc. / didn't want TO come
to the Senate. you know that, but

American bloc"
Switching to the subject of 1924
presidential possibilities. Senator
COPELAND warmed to his subject
and vigorously explained: al Smith
is New York's candidate for Presi-
dent. I'm for Al; we're all for Al.
He is the most popular man in the
United States. If these politicians let
him alone, he's going TO reyolutionize
state government in New York"
The doctor-senator has his pet aver
sion. He confesses that the scholarly.
astute and dignified leader of the
Senate Republicans gives him "the
willies."
He is anxious, he says. for the time
to come, when he may address his re-
marks to the senator from Massachus-

Lotteries. authorized by Congress,
were conducted from 1872 to 1888
! for the benefit of the public schools.
Large revenues were thus gained and
| invested in stocks, only the interest
! being applied to support of schools
This investment totalled $4,000 in
1881, when Congress was asked to
erect Washington's first high school
Congress. not yet in favor of employ
ing public money for high school edu-
cation, directed that invested lottery
revenues be used for the desired
building.
Thus the building on o street north
west, near 7th street, which for
thirty-four years housed Central
High School and is now Columbia
Junior High School, came from funds
derived from questionable sources in
the light Of present-day ethics.
MOT all board meetings, however

lutions tending to improve chiIdren's

was by the Rev. Mr.. Mccormick "a
board member). who united in the

Congress having challenged Wash
ington schools to supply every spe-
cies of knowledge essential to the lib
eral education of youth" and the
school board having prescribed
eleyen-hour examinations, schoolmas-
ters were equally as exacting in de-
manding study and progress from
their charges.
One of the students in the "Jeffer-
sons stable" School was Alexander T.
Stuart, superintendent of District of
Columbia schools from 1900 to 1906
and from 1908 to 1911 and now as

Mr.. Stuart said.
Hanging from his desk was a long
piece of leather harness, split in two
at the end, and he was not slow to
acquaint siothful pupils with 1t.
"On HIS schoolroom wall hung a
banner of silk, behind which pupils

Chinese and Corn Meal.

From the National Farmer and Stock Grower
Corn -four is the principal article
of diet of the South Manchurian
Chinese, the daily per capita con-
sumption being said to be between
two and one-half to three pounos.
Next to the soya bean, the corn crop
is the most important in the Antung
district, according to Consul w. r.
Langdon in report to the Depart
ment of Commerce. There is no
way of estimating the annual yield
of corn, but 1t is sufficient to provide
about two million Chinese with their
main source of sustenance and allow
a surplus OF nearly half million
bushels for export from Antung to
other Chinese ports. The grinding
and marketing of corn -four has so
far been in the hands of small grain
retail dealers who crush small quan-
titles OF -four in their shops to meet
the daily demand The crushing is

THAT the president of the board be

said school on their moral and religious

THE progressive spirit of the early
i school boards is shown in a petit
tion to the city council, in 1898, re-
questing a female teacher to instruct
girls in knitting and sewing. More
| than sixty years later, this idea was
realized in the introduction of manual
training.
Washington school boards a hun
dred years ago had to be as resource
full as present-day school officials to
house the rapidly growing city's
school children.
The eastern free school. which
Congress prescribed should be erected
I least of the Capitol and within halt
| a mile of it, was built about the
| same time as the western school, but
these were overcrowded in ten years.
In 1916, President James Madison
was asked to allow his stable at
14th and G streets northwest, where
the Washington safety council is
located now, to be used as a school.
Madison did not grant the request.
but his successor, James Monroe,
turned the stable over to the persis-
tent school board, in 1921. This
schoolhouse was known for years
thereafter as "Jefferson's stable"
Another worry of our early school
officials, which their successors say
they have inherited, was impossibility
of stretching school funds to meet
school needs.
Schoolmaster Richard Whites sal
ary was $500 a year, but he was
required by Congress 'out of this sum
to pay for fuel consumed, for all
other expenses incidental to school
and for such assistant teachers as
may be necessary"
He struggled for few months to
make his $500 meet "all expenses in
cidental to a school, and a family
besides, then resigned and petitioned
the school board for money to enable
him to remove his family from Wash
ington.
In the first dozen years of wash
ington's school history no less than
twenty different teachers were elect
ed and successfully resigned because
of the meager allowance for school
maintenance.
Nor did all of this $500, or the $500
for schoolhouse construction. come
from Congress- A portion of it was
solicited from President Jefferson and
other District residents. Pupils who

On last Saturday morning the fam

and their immediate families assem-
bled in the grove near the Baker school
house with well filled baskets to enjoy
what might he called family re-
union" Some members of the fam
lilies had been away for several years
and this gathering was given in their
honor that they might have the OPP
portunity Of meeting all their rela-
Ftives.
While the coffee boiled the men
played rook and pitched horse shoes
and the scores piled up thick and fast.
Arthur and Perry Baker claimed to be
the visitors when the comes had ended,
but we think their claims are disputed
even yet.
When dinner was announced we all
gathered around the well filed table
with bowed heads while NJ. X. Fry
offered thanks. There was squirrel
chicken, ham and almost everything
else good to eat. We stayed for sup
per which was served about six
o'clock after which we shook hands
and all departed for their respective
homes declaring that this was one OF

the commands of the Savior ever since
Her life was a shining light to all who

The golden doors of heaven
