KRAMER BEGAN
SCHOOL WORK
HERE IN 1880
Sons OF President Roosevelt
Attended Force When He
Was Principal In Charge
MANY DUTIES BEFORE HIM
As Assistant Superintendent
He Makes All Appointments
And Directs Cadet Corps

Stephen Elliott Kramer, assistant
superintendent OF schools, an educa-
tor Of recognized ability both here
and in other cities, is an example Of
the best type Of District citizen.
A lifelong resident Of the Capital,
Mr.. Kramer has a more intimate
knowledge of the school system than
perhaps any other man. His entire
life's work has been in and for the
school system Of Washington.
TEACHING FOR MANY YEARS.
Entering it as teacher in the old
Eastern High School back In 1890,
Mr.. Kramer has served as grade
school principal, supervising prin-
cipal and assistant superintendent.
When President Roosevelt's children
came to Washington, he announced
his intention Of placing them in a
public school. The Force School,
located on Massachusetts avenue
northwest, of which Mr.. Kramer
was then principal, was selected.
Proof OF Mr.. Kramer's striking
personality was shown at a meeting
recently attended by him, at which
young Colonel Roosevelt, Assistant
Secretary OF the Navy, was making
q speech. Suddenly the latter spied
him, stopped his speech abduptly
and told his audience: There's
Steve Kramer back there; he was
my principal at the Force School;
can't ever forget him"
In 1914, after serving as Supervis-
ing principal of the Third and Sixth
divisions for a number OF years, he
was made assistant superintendent.
In that capacity Mr.. Kramer has
proved invaluable to the school sys-
tenn. It is a common saying at the
Franklin School, ASK Mr.. Kramer,
he's sure to know" and It's rarely
that the assistant superintendent
doesn't know.
DUTIES ARE MANIFOLD.
Mr.. Kramer's job at the Franklin
School entails more work, perhaps,
than any other office in the school
system. It il his task, among q
mass of other duties, to make all ap-
pointments to teaching positions. II
a teacher is i'll or for some other
reason Is unable to be at her desk,
it is his duty to see that substitute
is in her place.
Another job Of the assistant super
intendent is that of taking care Of
high school cadets. With Col. Wal
lace Cragie, Mr.. Kramer guides the
destinies of the boy soldiers, who
are shortly to engage in the annual
competitive drill.
The following utterance of Mr..
Kramer expresses his views regard
ing the schools military organiza-
ton:
Each year we shall build better
in the sense of newer undertakings
and finer equipment, but always we
shall preserve the best of the old
which is the spirit Of the corps and
the obligation to carry on the fine
traditions of the past"
1t must not be suspected, however.
that Mr.. Kramer takes no interest
in the affairs Of his city because OF
the large amount of time he gives
to his work. On the contrary, his
civic interest Is real and of a prac-
teal nature.
AS a member Of tn Board Of Trade,
it's schools committee and the board
of directors OF that organization, he
has accomplished monumental work
in behalf Of the District Of Column
bia.

GREAT SUCCESS
HOUSTON THOMPSON COMING TO
COLORADO SOON TO TELL OF
FOREIGN VISIT
COMPETITION NOT HURT
SAYS COOPERATIVE MARKETING
SOCIETIES DO NOT DESTROY
COMPETITION

WashngtOn.-H0ustOn Thompson OF
Denver, II member of the federal trade
commission, returned to Washington
recently from three months visit In
several countries Of Europe. where he
applied himself to an intense study OF
the highly organized cooperative mar
keting societies in operation there.
The cooperative marketing move
ment now Is a subject of deep inter-
est In this country, though there are
comparatively few persons who have
much knowledge Of the operation Of
these societies. Because OF the inter-
est manifested in the United States in.
Guiding his home state of Colorado,
Mr.. Thompson made his trip abroad to
get first-hand Information on how the
cooperative works. He probably will
so to Colorado at the first opportunity
TO give farmers and other interested
persons the benefit OF his observation.
He has mnde himself an authority on
the subject
During my three months survey OF
the cooperative movement" said
Thompson, Il visited the British Isles,
Denmark, Sweden. Finland, Esthonia,
Latvla, Czecho-Sloyakia, Lithuunia, Po-
land, Germany. Italy and France. All
cooperative societies gave US free ac.
cess to their books and financial state
ments, and permitted inspection Of
their plants. They pointed out the
weak rs well as the strong points, con.
cenllng nothing, and trying TO make the
whole movement perfectly clear.
zone thing that greatly impressed
me Is that oil Of these countries are
making special efforts to become self
supporting and economically independ.
ent. With export and import tariffs
they are giving great encouragement,
TO home industry. This was especially
noticeable at the Gothenburg fair
where the growth Of industry and arts
In Sweden was displayed. 1t seems the
Swede makes practically everything
they use in the way of manufactured
articles. The rates of exchange are
also forcing growth Of home industry
Europe has found, as we shall find
that the co-operatives do not destroy
competition. The movement will stim
ulate competition and has done so.
When co-operatlves are buying or man.
ufacturing for the use of their mem-
bers, they will not make or take impure
or bad goods or products. When they
sell to their members or buy for them,
they insist on reasonable prices. They

In most countries the largest single
