TWO CITY MEN CITED
AS COLLEGE ACTORS

Two Washington young men, who
are attending Lehigh University,
Bethlehem, Pa, have been chosen to
take leading parts in the annual pro-
duction of the Mustard and Cheese
Dramatic Club. They are John G..
Ridsdale son of Mr.. and Mrs. p. S.
Ridsale of 1S4S Lamont street. and
Robert H. Dalgleish. son of r. H.
Dalgleish of the Hotel Roosevelt.
Competition for the coveted parts
was exceptionally keen this year. due,
perhaps, to the success of last sea-
sons production and to the fact that
the plot, music and lyrics for the
1924 play, "Panchita," were written
entirely by undergraduates.
The Mustard and Cheese Associa-
tien is the oldest Of college drama
tic clubs, having been founded in
1885 by Richard Harding Davis, while
a junior at Lehigh. The peculiar
name was derived from the refresh
ments usually served at informal re-
hearsals in pre-Volstead days.
Ea1gleish, who played the leading
male part in last years show, will
again occupy the spotlight this sea-
son as Oliver Denton, the hero of
"Panchita." He is sophomore at
Lehigh and is studying mechanical
engineering.
Ridsdale will appear as Sir Reg
inald Dudley. character part He is
taking the couIse in chemical engi-
neering at Lehigh, and is a member
OF the Sigma Chi fraternity.

SAYS FUTURE OF U. S.
REPOSES IN SCHOOLS
Ballou, at Howard University,
Ayers Capital Should Lead
Nation in Education.

"The destiny Of democratic institu-
tions rests upon public education" DR..
Frank w. Ballou. superintendent of
public schools of the District, told the
Howard University faculty and student
body at the noon chapel exercises We'd
nesday. DR.. Ballou spoke on Education
in the Nations Capital
In calling attention 10 the increased
Importance OF education as recognized
in various cities of the United States,
DR.. Ballou said Education is the most
important enterprise in which demo-
cratic governments engage. In the cities
of the United States more than one
third of all municipal expenditures are
devoted to public education
Expenditures Less Here.
For years Washington has been ex-
pending comparatively less for public
education than her sister cities. The
proportion of expenditures for public
education has been approximately q
per cent OF her total revenues. Only re-
Gently have the appropriations for pub
lie education in Washington been in
Washington cannot attain or retain her
rightful position educationally among
American cities without corresponding
financial support for her public schools" !"
throughout the nation" said Or.
Ballou, there is an insistent demand
for iessening the financial burdens of
government Every intelligent American
citizen will rejoice in being relieved of a
part, at least of the burden of taxa
ton. In the attempt to reduce taxes
economy is being urged on every hand
in local, state and national affairs. In
general, this policy of economy must be
heartily approved
CrSppling schools Not Economy.
while the public agrees with the gen.
eral policy of economy. saving money
by robbing children OF an education is
not economy. An education is the birth
right of every child in this democracy.
To deprive the child of that birthright
will be to impair his efficiency as a
citizen in the next generation. and to
threaten the very existence OF democ-
racy itself We must never forget that
we are only one generation removed
from illiteracy. Close all educational in
stitutions for one generation and the
next generation must be illiterate.
Economy ir the appropriations for
public education must not be allowed TO
reach the point of decreasing the eff
ficency of the present educational pro-
most potent, most powerful and most
promising single agency making for
the unification, stability and progress
of our American institutions. The deS-
tiny of democratic institutions rests upon
pubic education. The citizens of the
future republic are now passing through
the schoolrooIns of America where the
traditions of our free institutions are
conserved and transmitted. What the
education shall be rests with the Ameri-
can people. The system of public educa-
ton in the nations Capital should lead
the way.
