CAPITAL KEYNOTES

Apropos of the suggestion of an,
all-year, nonstop course in Wash
ington grade and high schools, from
the cradle to the shop or counting
room. it is significant to note the
comment of DR.. David Starr Jordan,
president emeritus of Stanford Uni

term in a university, where the stu

Bee creation-see creation!
Show that is a revelation
Greatest show in all the nation

Then glibly be proceeds to pain-
A show that most decidedly amt;
A show that we shall never see
Until we reach eternity
II haply 1t should be our fate
TO pass inside the pearly gate
A perfect show, a paragon
A castle built in Aragon!
No poppy-swiller in a swoon,
No lover drunk upon the moon
Or tipsy with his lady's eyes,
Ever dreamed such paradise.
Hurroo-HurrooI
Hear the Ballyhoo:
See creation-see creation
Greatest show in all the nation!
Come on, folks-step to the wicket
Only a quarter-get your ticket!
Thank you, I'll not go inside;
