Camberra.

An eminent Australian architect has
just completed d study of the form
of government OF the District of Co
lumbia and the manner in which the
National Capital was established here
He is getting data to guide in laying
out of Camberra, the projected capital
of the commonwealth of Australia. He
has been studying traffic, as we'll as
buildings. parks and reservations.
street plans and coming regulations,
with the idea of supplying the best
principles Of city planning to the new
federal metropolis of the antipodes.
There is much to be learned from
a study of Washington from this point
of view. The general plan of the city
in its original form is undoubtedly
one of the best ever devised The
great pity is that in the eventual de-
velopment of the Capital outwardly be-
not extended. 1t will be possible for
Camberra probably to foresee the devel-
opment of a great city, whereas when
Washington was conceived, more than
a century and a quarter ago, there
was no thought of its growth to nearly
half a million population, with the
prospect of as many more.
No study of the present conditions
of the American Capital can, however
forestall and insure against the de-
velopment of unfavorable and disfig-
uring and cramping conditions else
where through denial of means for de-
velopment and neglect of essentials by
the Legislsl ture. Should the Australian
commonwealth. through it's legislative
body, do as did the American Con-
gress with respect to Washington
Camberra will grow in haphaZard
fashion. with but slight regard for the
initial principles of plan and charac-
ter. 1t is one thing to lay out a CAPT
tai city on paper and another thing to
carry out that plan through successive
generations of legislators charged with
the duty of capital maintenance.
Washington hopes that Australians
new capital will have better fortune
at the hands of the Australian Legis-
lature than it has had at the hands
Of the American Congress.

ARTICLE III,

The present shortage of classrooms
In WaHhington's public schools repre-
sents an accumulation Of failures from
year to year to provide the additional
classrooms necessary to take care of
increases in enrolment and to provide
the additional educational facilities
necessary in growing and pro-
gressive school system.
As result of this accumulation of
classroom needs, school authorities at
this time find themselves unable to
provide proper accommodations for
large numbers Of pupils enrolled in the
schools. Rented quarters, large classes.
basement rooms, part-time classes and
the use of temporary portable school
houses are continuing impediments to
REASONABLE educational progress
The Board of Education carefully
prepares and submits each year to the
Commissioners estimates on additional
permanent SchoolhouSe construction.
Each year only Il comparatively small
number of those items are submitted
to Congress. The Commissioners cut
down the estimates of other municipal
departments. AS well as those of the
Board of Education. The Bureau of
the Budget then slashes them. As a
direct result the needs for additional
school accommodations are annually
piing up.
X X X X
The accumulated needs of the past
and the present needs arising from
the annual increases in enrolment
are so great that it may be seriously
doubted whether the needs can ever
be met in the regular appropriation
budget. School authorities for
several years past have made it clear
that the situation is growing yearly
more acute. Immediate action to re
ieve the situation is necessary if ir-
reparable educational damage is to be
avoided

Charge That Dives Exist.

At recent meeting of the South
Washington Citizens Association it
was said to be notorious that there
We're certain streets in that quarter
of the city where bootleg liquor may
be obtained in any quantity" Two
streets were named, and it was said
that on them liquor caches and dis
orderly houses are numerous" 1t was
stated in the meeting that attempts
to have the police intervene have
proved fruitless. A resolution was
adopted by the association requesting
the Police Department to take action.
The Police Department must give
heed to such charges. They are Of
great seriousness. If such places exist
the police must make a cleanup, If
there are such places it is a reflection
on the Police Department that the
cleanup initiative had to be taken by
Il citizens association instead of by
the police.

Reward of Courtesy.

A New York policeman detailed for
duty at the Cunard Line pier has
earned not. only a reputation for cour-
tesy and efficiency in handling the
traffic at that point, where congestion
is intense on occasion, but has also
won a substantial reward in recogni-
ton of his kindness and patience and
Mcintyre. To him all the travellers,
going and coming, were friends whom
he sought to assist. He made no dis.
ordinations, but interpreted his duty
as that of making easy the way of
tourists. His unfailing good nature
and cleverness attracted the attention
of a wealthy American whose wife is
titled parsonage in a European state,
and they decided that such service
was worthy Of recognition. So they
have presented Policeman Mcintyre
with a sixweek tour abroad with
his wife.
Patrolman Mcintyre, of course. had
no thought of reward during the years
of his service at the piers. To him it
was all in the days work to help the
people whatever their station in life
or their means, first cabin or second
cabin. Had the steerage passengers
landed there he would doubtless have
been as courteous and considerable to-
ward them. He interpreted his duty
as that of friend and helper Of the
public and acted accordingly.
It would be well for this New York
policeman's record to be studied by
all policemen, whatever their duties
or assignments, and particularly by
those charged with the handling of
traffic at congested points. There is
much to be desired of them. and there

Tension.

Ten games to play and the leaders
tied for first place: Such is the Amer
lean League race for the base ball
championship. In the National League
only half a game separates the two
foremost clubs, with. respectively,
nine and eight games to play. Truly,
there is no parallel for such tense
situation in the two major organiza.
tons.
If this condition prevailed without
the participation Of Washington, the
local followers of the sport would be
interested. But with the National
Capital represented In this remarkable
race the people Of this town are con-
cerned as never before.
II thought currents Of the multitude

country the sentiment for the Sena-
tors to take the flag is strong. Even
on rival fields where they are playing
the home crowds cheer them when
they score and shout encouragement
as they struggle from behind. The
sporting spirit of the crowd is with
the fighting spirit of the young men
whom Manager Harris has brought to
the front line with as good a chance
for the championship as the present
holder of the flag.
Ten games to play. and three of
them with the toughest team that
Washington has faced this year. New
York has just taken three from that
team while Washington was taking
three from Cleveland, another of it's
handicaps in the 1924 race. Can the
jinx that has lurked in ST Louis-not
only during this season, but in other
years to the hurt of the Washington
ball team-be overcome? That is the

bearing. They are stationed at danger
points not as bosses, but as guides
and helpers. A traffic cop can make
things easy for everybody il he will
adopt the proper attitude. He must be
patient with shortcomings and seek
to correct them by advice and direc-
ton. Too often are these guardians
OF the pave martinets in their exercise
of authority during the brief periods
of their duty.
1t should be the object of every po-
lice officer detailed for such duty to
make friends with everybody. The
crossing policemen here in Washing
ton may not earn trips to Europe or
other rewards through their unfailing
courtesy and consideration, but they
can earn what is even more precious,
the good will and esteem Of all the
Users Of the streets.
