West, In teaching American
children, repeats only the defa-
nation, and omits the qualifica-

Here, then, is a striking. con-
crete example Of one method by
which certain American school
histories have been Anglicized. It
is absurdly simple. Nothing is re-
quired but a pro-British spirit, a
British history, a pair Of shears

the virtues invented for Tories,

modern historical scholarship
does Professor Hart reduce this to
a mere probability? The answer
appears. In his New American
History Professor Hart cites this
authority:
ut IL uncertain how the fight
began; an English officer who was
present at the battle says: ION our
approach they dispersed, and soon
after the firing began; but which
party fired first I cannot exactly
say, as our troops rushed on
shouting and huzzaing previous to
the fighting"
So it is solely the word Of q
British officer, who confessed he
did not know, which Professor
Hart has set up against the word
of scores Of American patriots who
did know. and against all American
historical evidences and authori-
ties.

ONE PER CENT GET JOBS.
We are all more or less inclined
to misjudge people and places
when we know little or nothing
concerning them, save the colored
viewpoints Of enterprlsing pub
lefty agents, and Hollywood has
been pictured to US as a place
where, with little work and lots
of play, we can accomplish the
things we sometimes dream about
accomplishing.
But too much celebrating has
kept many a person from beconn-
ing celebrated. And that's why 1t
Il only the really great dramatists
at heart that ever rise to the realms
Of movie stardorn.
Cecil De Mile, one Of the great
directors of Hollywood, recently
told me that OF the 100000 men
who had applied to his studio
for jobs in the past six years,
less than l per cent has been
employed. And Of the per
cent, less than per cent had
risen to the head Of the ladder.
Charles M. Schwab some months
before informed me that 10 per
cent of the men who applied
for work in the Bethlehem Steel
plant were employed and IL per
cent Of this number rose to ex-
ecutive positions.
In the motion picture industry
an employee is carefully chosen to
ill the required part. This ap-
plies not only to the actors and
extras but to the carpenters, the
painters, the plumbers and the
electricians. No wonder then that
the treasurer OF a motion pic
ture company is as important a.
parsonage as the treasurer of a
mighty Industrial corporation; for

TOWN GETS BLAME.
Lately we have heard Of a num-
bar of divorces in which the
names of weIl-known screen stars
The Washington times., 1923-04-15

have played an important part.
And we are inclined in our
widely separated sections Of the
country to permit ourselves to
exaggerate the facts and blame
the locality and surroundings in
which these divorces occur.
Hollywood at once bears the
brunt Of our attacks. We are
prone to feel that we cannot have
an ideal national life unless we,
as individuals, have less high life
and more home life. Yet We do
not give a moments thought to
the fact that most movie stars
have the most ideal home life
one can imagine, out In sunny
California.
The homes are homes in every
sense Of the word. There are no
slums, no tenements, no crowded
thoroughfares. Everything is as
nature designed 1t to be, and
everything is set SO that the
bringing UP OF a family and the
building Of home may not fail.
Hollywood, especially, is the city
OF homes, and actors and actresses
certainly know how to make and
decorate their homes.
Hollywood is honey-combed with
studios, and each studio is a
complete workshop in itself.
After one has visited a studio,
the others are practically the
same with the exception OF the
scenery in which the stars are

It is a well.known fact in Holly

the general public, but, OF course,
Charlie would never let it become

He is a keen political observer.
He can sense the pulse Of Amer
lea. as well as the pulse Of Great
Britain. His prophecies at cleo
ton time are quite remarkable.
I asked him one day why he had
not taken up politics before COM
ing to America ten years ago.
He replied, with a knowing wink,
that he believed movies to be
cleaner means of livelihood.
HOUSEHOLD FAVORITE
A Chaplin picture is a clean
picture. He believes in making
people laugh about things they
like to laugh about. People who
make one laugh about things
they must whisper in ones ears
are not the kind Of people Chap
lin believes the world appreciates.
Censors seldom use their scissors
on a Chaplin picture; that Is why
he is a household favorite; that
is why the youngster and the
Rrandsire equally appreciate the
funniest man on the silver screen.
Chaplin likes reading. He likes
interesting people. He appreciates
good music. At present he is en-
gagged in supervising the con-
struction Of his new homo In
Beverly Hills. When it is COM
pleted he and Pola Negri are
going to have a marvellous library
and a great big organ in the
hall, for Chaplin plays the organ
too.
A well is being dug in the
garden but no water has as yet
been found. Fairbanks Is afraid
that when water is reached 1t
will tap the same spring which
he tapped some months ago. so
he has been trying to persuade
Chaplin that there is nothing In
this digging idea except perhaps
the western egress to King Tut's

It IL making Of pictures more
than mere slap-stick features. It
is giving them educational value

Douglas Fairbanks has been q

TYPIFTES AN IDEAL.
The late Colonel Roosevelt, prob
ably the greatest American Of
this generation. was admired and
loved by this nation and by every
nation, chiefly because he typified
an ideal.
Douglas Fairbanks, in my
humble estimation, typifies the
same sort Of ideal. He is the
cleanest-cut man I ever met. The
punch. vim, stamina, never-ceas-
ing activity Of this modern Sieg.
fried Of the movies gives one the
feeling that at least the basic
foundation upon which to model
the American man has been found.
Fairbanks is not only a 60
getter, he is go-doer. He done
the seemingly impossible. He
does 1t every day. At forty he is
as acrobatic and as 1.-THE as a
youngster in his teens. And he
can do the things he does because
he knows how to keep fit.
FAIRBANKS WORKS HARD.
Fairbanks works hard. He
doesn't advise the public what to
do. He does 1t. He believes that
nothing is worth having unless
one works to attain 1t.
Hold up your head, look ahead
and get ahead. Trees grow to be
climbed. Rocks and cliffs were
