PERTINENT QUESTIONS
REGARDING SCHOOLS

The opening Of schools brings di
rectly to the attention OF citizens the
importance and significance OF oul
public schools.
Education is so vital to the life OF
the community that every citizen
should interest himself in the we'll
being of the community educational in
situations. He may well ask himself
the following questions:
1. What do know about the public
schools in my town ?
2. What kind okeducation is being
given the children? Are the pupils
fitted to become honest, law-abiding,
self-supporting, patriotic citizens, low
ing the flag and believing in constitu-
tional government?
8. Are the children taught TO think,
to reason, 10 aspire. to idealize, to con-
quer environment; or are they treated
simply as elastic cont liners for alleged
facts?
A.. Have we the right kind of prin-
cipals and teachers? Are they persons
of character, personality, optimism?
enthusiasm? Are they up-to-date
educationally or are they still using
the pedagogical methods of ten years
ago? Do the children like them? Are
they the kind of people would take
into my home? Would be willing for
the men teachers to join my lodge?
5. What do know about the text
books used?
6. What do I know about the school
trustees? Are they the kind of per-
sons / would trust in business trans
action Are they real executives, or
merely pestiferous busybodies, or cheap
politicians, or representatives of spec
ial sectarian interests? Are they big
enough to keep their personal preju-
dices out of school affairs?
z. What do know about the school
buildings? Are they fire-proof, sani-
tary, well-equipped, and adequate to
properly care for the school population,
or is my town afflicted with that mod
ern abomination, the half day session?
Are the schools used for civic pur-
poses or do they lie idle after school
hours?
s. Do kick about the cost of edu-
cation? Have any reasonable I'M
derstanding of what am talking about
when sneer at educational frills
and fads"?
9. Do take any interest in the
physical health and moral training of |
the children?
10. What do know about the pro-
posed Education bill to be presented
to the next Congress providing for a |
federal department of education and |
federal appropriations for education

JUVENILE ROBBERS HOLD UP
CHILDREN THREE ARE CAUGHT

Two juvenile robberies occupied the
attention of the police yesterday.
Last night three unknown boys set
upon the son of H. V. Lea, who had
been sent down town to buy papers.
One held him while the others went
through his pockets removing about
seventy cents. They have not been
apprehended. From the description of
young Lea none of them were over
fifteen.
Yesterday morning the three children
of DIR. w. B. Sager were attacked on
Mount Vernon avenue by three boys
who threatened the children with
knives and demanded that they hand
over all their money. This occurred
about eleven o'clock as the children
were running from Sunday School
One of the boys seized the pocket
book carried by the little girl and
| slashed it open only to find no money
in it. They ran. When the children
got home they gave the alarm and DIR.
Sager, with the assistance of Officer
Arch Morgan set out in search They
were caught in nearby street and
were forced 10 return to the place
where the pocket book had been
thrown in the mud. The three were
called before the juvenile Judge today

HIGHWAY POLICE SENT 10 VALLEY
KEEP WITHIN THE MOTOR LAW

hEEA Within l1E MOlON LIN y
To Avoid being ''pulled," Mr..
Motorists, take these tips from the
state highway motorcycle cop, now
on duty. He has so much ground
to cover he can't stop offending
motorists and warn them-after
this warming in the press they will
be expected to know the law.
Speed limit on state roads, 80
miles an hours.
Speed limit at curves, Is miles an
hour.
Speed at intersections. IS miles.
Speed at hilltops, Is miles.
Slow down when signaled flor the
road by motorist wishing to pass.
Come to full stopat rail road
crossings.
Display red tail light at night.
See that two license tags are fully
visible.
COP NOW ON THE JOB.
C. X. Baylor. of Staunton, is the new
deputy motor vehicle commissioner,
of state motorcycle cops, who has been
assigned to the Shenandoah Valley
district between Staun:on and VIM
chester by the state commissioner
James, for the purpose of breaking up
the practice some motorists have &C
quired of ''hogging" the road.
Mr.. Baylor has just returned from
Richmond. where he and nine other
motorcycle cops had conference with
Commissioner Hays. Their duties
were outlined, and each was clothed
with police power to enforce state
late highways.
While in Richmond Mr.. Baylor was
issued his motorcycle equipment a
Harley Davidson, with which he is ex-
pected to cover territory reaching to
the top of the Blue Ridge, of Jefferson
Highway, to Lexington, to Shenandoah
mountain, and to Winchester.
NOT REVEALING WHEREABOUTS.
He can only cover his territory once
in about three days, but he doesn't
plan to let motorists know just when
he will be there" and the fact that he
is somewhere in the Valley" is counted
on to make drivers more careful as to
observance of the law.
Next spring, it was indicated at the
according to Mr.. Baylor,
who is an ex-service man and an ex-
perience motorcyclist, it is planned to
put Is additional motorcycle cops on
the state highway, so his territory
probably will be considerably reduced.
The motorcycle policeman has al
ready made a drive or two out the
state roads, and stated today that he
found drivers staying pretty well
within the speed limit of 80 miles an
hour.
There are other dangers besides,
speeding, however, and the several
points he has instructions to check up
IN in the movement to make the state
highways safer are enumerated above.
He asks the cooperation of the public
n these matters. j
AIMS TO MAKE ROADS SAFER.
1--WE were put on the roads not to
make things unpleasant for motorists,
,ut to make the roads safer for them,
said the deputy commissioner, land If
the individual driver will give his co.
operation, law enforcement will bel
made easier and the driver himself
will be saved trouble.
lowing to the great extent of my
territory, it will be impossible to stop
each violator of the law and give him
4 warning. We must depend upon the
press to warn motorists, and after a
reasonable time they will be held
strictly accountable, because they are
to know the law, and to know
that it is going to be enforced.

many violations are committed
through ignorance of the laws on

that the employers will heed the

NOT STRONG ENOUGH

At the meeting of Trades Council
last week resolutions were adopted
by the delegates condemning the
action of the Hamilton board of
health in discharging its former clerk
The resolutions were adopted with but
one dissenting vote and this delegate
gave as his reasons for voting in the
negative that the resolutions were not
severe enough This should make
plain the exact feeling of the central
body's delegates on the action of the
health board.
