CONSULTING THE PEOPLE.

The public action of Mayor paones'
 ca in acknowledging that the onposi'
 lion 10 the swimming pool in the
 North End is greater than he at hrst
 supposed. is the sort Of action that
 ought to be commended. The city Is not unfamiliar with officials who will
 not listen 10 reason; men who refuse 40 see that they may have been mis- taken. The ideal results could be ob- tained. always. by first finding out the peoples wishes in n matter Of this
 kind and then acting in accordance with those wishes if possible. If such action is not possible, frank explan- ation might be made why 1t is im- possible but at least nothing need be done in q matter like the swimming pool or the automobile camp which would offend those most interested.
 The practical difficulty with an open forum to discuss the matter is usually that the people do not take the trou- i ble to attend and here voice the pro- tests they have been making private fly whenever the matter is discussed. This is solely the fault of those in- terested. and may not prove to be the case In this matter. At any rate such an open meeting called for the pur- pose of hearing opinions is the only practical way of getting at the public sentiment, and Mayor Paonessa has done well to indicate his intention of calling such a meeting. Two birds might we'll be killed with one stone if discussion of the automobile tourist camp were to be brought up at the same meeting.
 It Is unfortunate, for all our sakes, that such meetings are seldom repre- sentative. But no official is to be blamed for that. The most a Mayor may do is to give the people this chance to express their views and then to be guided by the sentiment there expressed if he deems it repre- sentative of the general sentiment. The Mayor is perfectly right in want ing to have some place in the city where the people may have the pleas ure and advantage of place to swim in the summer. If 1t can be fur nished in such a way that the over whelming public sentiment favors it, the plan is a splendid one. If not, 1t should be dropped. The same situa- tion governs the establishment of the automobile camp, but concerning this latter experiment exact information should be obtained from communi- ties where such camps have been tried, such information to be given publicly at such meeting.

PAN AMERICANS IN PARTIAL AGREEMENT
Conference Does NOt Settle Arma'
 ment Problems
By The Associated Press,

By The Associated Press,
 Santiago, May A.-Fhe fifth Psn- 1 American conference ended last night i after siN weeks of deliheratiOn, IL l succeeded in reaching agreements an general questions Of commerce, edu- cation and hygiene, but failed to smooth out the difficulties that arose l in its discussion of such topics as naval armament, an American league i of nations, the Monroe Doctrine and an American court Of justice, con- sideTation Of some Of these questions was postponed.
 Future Pan-Ameriean gatherings will be called upon to take action on various subjects Of general interest to the western nations, For instance, the Pan-Ameriean congress Of jurists which meets at Rio Janeiro in 1923 will be asked to attempt a modifea- ton of American international law.
 To this gathering also the confer enee referred the Costa Riean plan for an American court of justice.
 The conference adopted two treat les, one for the protection Of Pan- American trademarks. the other for an agreement under which interna- tional disputes would be investigated by faet-fnding commission.
 The hygiene committee headed by Dr. George Vincent, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, brought about the adoption of measures that will enable international cooperation in stamping out disease. Tho confer ence also gave encouragement to the prohibition movement agreeing to as- sist in keeping intoXicants from be- ing exported to the United States.
 Augustine Edwards of Chile. presi- dent of the conference, pointed out at the final session that this is the cen- tonnial year of the Monroe Doctrine.
 "Whatevcr interpretation the Mon roe Doctrine has received" he said, none can fail to recognize the tran scendental importance of this histor- ical pact to America. The spirit of President Monroe has spreadd throughout the compass of America. The next conference will be held at Havana.

DEFENDING THE SCHOOLS.

Some weeks ago The Herald, in
 thesc columns, expressed Its confl- dcnce in the people of the city to the
 extent of declaring that the parents Of thildren would not sit quietly by and watch the fight being made to econ- .ofnize in school matters if 1t looked as though that fight were going to neopartiize tho children's chances for Nhe sort of education they ought to have, Not long ago the Parents and Teachers association of the Stanley Htrest school passed resolutions pro- 4est.ae against the expenditure of cer- Aais moneys for another purpose, eWhile the school facilities were not yGsad, Now the Parents and Teachers Rsseeiation of the East Street School at h meeting attended by some 300 Interested persons, has approved reso- BItisRs opposing any reduction in Fsasei appropriations or building pro- WFaf1 which would handicap the edu-
 
 pattsn of their children, and stating that tiae school accommodations for tha eastern section of the city are in- Hdsaiiate, The resolutions go even further and include approval of an alditarium and gymnasium, and add, significantly, Resolved: That 4 copy 6f t3sse resolutions be sent to the AiavsF and the school survey commit tse," 1t will be noticed that there is 'H5 resolution to have copy sent to ths sshool committee, or the school Rss6mmodatiens committee, This, of Bai;Fss, for ths reason that the asso- siat,sn so concerned about the educa- tian of the children is confident the seiisal committee needs no urging in t,s sEdeapor te give those desired ac- esniRodations.

How utterly absurd to suppose that any resolution approving the rRiiel States entrance into the World Court would pass the Connecticut house of representatives, The idea is RFeRes- terons' Think Of it!

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Preliminary ex-
periments testing, the Einstein theory
have convinced Prof. Albert Michel
son and Dean Henry Gordon Gale
of the University of Chicago that
their methods are correct and that
optical difficulties have been over
come. Final tests are to be made
tneXt spring. They seek to measure
the velocity of light in connection
with the movements of ether, al
though Einstein has disregarded
ether.
With a tube one foot in diameter
laid in the earth in the form OF
square 1900 feet to each side. they
expect to make the final tests. One
corner of the pipe will be open and
in the others will be fitted half mir
rors. so that one beam of light can
be sent in two directions at once.
If ether travels with the earth
they hold the beam of light will re-
quire the same time to go around the
pipe in each direction, but IL the
beam travels faster in one direction
than in the other they consider 1t
would indicate that the ether does
not move with the earth and does
affect the velocity, of light
