School DAYS.

Groups and troops of school chill
dren turned out this morning, and
streets near schoolhouses and school
grounds were crowded as they had
not been since vacation time began
three months ago. The opening of
schools in Washington is day of
greater importance to more Of our
people than the opening of Congress.
Many thousand homes have to gear
themselves to a schedule which will
get the children off to school on time,
and it generally requires organization
and reorganization to get the children
up, washed, dressed. fed and started
with the proper books in bags or
straps.
In many families where some little
child begins its school life the day is
of wonderful importance. The little
one must be escorted through the
crowded, dangerous streets. and often
mother is the escort, but this RESPONSE
BILE duty may be performed by brother
or sister who started school" last
year or some other year and knows
the way and the ways, knows the
teachers, knows lots Of the boys and
girls, and all that. Nearly all these
little children, in making their bow
to the public school system, seem to
face the ordeal" with supreme con-
fidence. They have no hesitancy, no
stage fright, no homesickness. Near

| of Remus. has a certain cumulative
effect to discredit the investigation
and the conclusions of the committee,
witnesses has been weakened by their
records.
In point Of fact, the proceedings be-
fore the committee were at all stages
tainted by the character of those who
gave condemnatory testimony. In a
court of law much of this testimony
would have been eliminated as hear
say and invalid and unacceptable.
The credibility Of witnesses would
have been impugned in court, whereas
before the committee that question
was not permitted to be raised. The
widest publicity was, necessarily in
the nature of the proceedings, given
to gossip and to unverified declara.
tions, to refute which opportunity was
given, If at all, so tardily that the
public impression of guilt was definite
ly fixed already.
The fact that Means has by his own
present statement confessed himself
to be perjurer may weaken the eff
feet Of his acknowledgment. He is
thoroughly discredited as a witness
now, as he was. in fact, when he went
before the investigating committee.
Yet he may be now telling the truth.
At all events, Mr.. Daugherty is en-
titled to the benefit of the doubt which
Means confession raises, however
disreputable may be the witness he
presents.
1t is improbable that Mr.. Davis and
the other campaigners will accept this
confession as reason for lessening
their attacks. The exigencies OF the
campaign require continued assault
upon the records Of the administra-
ton. A mere reputation by star
witness of his damaging testimony
will hardly be permitted to spoil such
pyrotechnic ammunition.

Davis and McAdoo to Meet.

That should be an interesting meet
ing between Candidate John w. Davis
and William G. McAdoo, scheduled to
occur upon the latter's return on the
Leviathan today. Mr.. McAdoo has
been abroad since the Democratic ma
tional convention, assuaging his dis
appointment over the loss Of the presi
Dental nomination. Mr.. Davis, to
whom the convention passed the ball.
has been running with it, and will
have much to report on the prospect
of the Democrats winning the game.
Popular imagination will be in
trigued with speculation over the ex-
tent of the real love which exists be-
tween the defeated and the successful
aspirants for the honor Of carrying
the ball. Human nature would readily
understand a certain bitterness should
MIR. McAdoo entertain it. but there is
no outward sign Of its existence. Can
didate Davis has met Mr.. McAdoo
with the outStretched hand of friend
liness and welcome to participation in
the campaign.
In a radio message to the ship Mr..
Davis expressed Hearty welcome
from myself and throngs Of your
Western friends who have recently
honored me with every expression Of
their confidence, being assured your
splendid cooperation means victory in
November The Democratic national
committee announces that Mr.. Nc
Adoo will 80 participate. and will make
coast-to-coast speaking tour. He is
expected to give a good bucket of
milk and not kick it over"
Genuine and hearty support by him
of the national ticket will not be
classed as negligible in its effect upon
this campaign. Nothing less than this
should be expected until his words
show the contrary.

The Holy Name Parade.

Washington was the scene yester-
day of a spectacle of deep significance.
A parade Of close upon 100000 men
marched through Pennsylvania ave
nue. and massed around the Washing
ton Monument in token of a pledge
against profanity, blasphemy and god
lessness. 1t was not a spectacular ar
ray. The Capital has witnessed many
more brilliant spectacles. But it was
one Of the most impressive demonstra-
ton that has ever occurred in this
city of great gatherings. 1t bespoke
a force for good citizenship, which is
one Of the fundamentals of national
existence.
President Coolidge, in addressing
that great throng at the Monument,
pr.ised the spirit Of the organization
which yesterday celebrated the 650th
anniversary of it's founding. He took
occasion to remind his hearers that
Acivil, political and 1eligious liberty
Is the essence Of freedom, guaranteed
by our Constitution" He stressed the
value and importance Of discipline.
The worst evil, he said, that could be
inflicted upon the youth OF the land
would be to leave them without re-
straint and completely at the mercy
of their own uncontrolled inclinations.
Weakness and depravity, he said. fol-
low when the ordinary processes of
discipline are neglected.
Standards must be maintained,
standards of personal behavior, stand.

conduct In the Holy Name Society,
which the President was specifically
addressing, though his words went
out and applied to all Americans, is
essentially the principle Of standard.

law, both the law of man and the law
of God
There is sound health in a nation
which can. as this did yesterday, mar
shall so great a number Of its citizens
in a demonstration Of loyalty to a
principle of Righteousness. Many of
those who marched here yesterday
came from considerable distance, at
great inconvenience and expense.
They had come here to testify under
the most adverse conditions to their
reverence. To them the President
said: ut is along the path Of rever-
ence and obedience that the race has
reached the goal of freedom, Of self
government, of a higher morality and
a more abundant spiritual life"

Inadequate Facilities for Education of Youth Re-
proach to the National Capital.

building is about LOO pupils. The
present enrolment of 1900 gives
some insight into the crowded situa-
tion and the extreme difficulty under
which the school functions.
Many of the pupils attending Nc
Kinley work during the afternoons
and evenings in order to be able to
continue their education. An at
tempt was made to put the school
on part time in September, 1922. with
the result that many pupils assigned
to the afternoon shift were obliged
to leave school, so that the school
returned to one-session program.

Tech, however, is content to strug-
gle along in its overtaxed building
because there is relief in sight. A
site for it's proposed new building at
Second and Il streets northeast, already
has been acquired and Municipal Ar
chitect Albert l. Harris is now at
work on the plans, an appropriation
Of $4,000 for this purpose having been
provided in the District appropria-
ton bill for the current fiscal year.
An item for beginning the con-
struction of the new Mckinley was
inserted in the school budget for the
next fiscal year. It's fate now rests
with the Bureau of the Budget and
Congress. If the item succeeds in
passing this uncertain path unscath-
ed. actual construction of the new
building will begin next Summer
In locating the new Tech at Second
and L streets northeast, the school
board has sought not only to pro-
vide a building large enough for the
institution but also to so locate the
school as to make it possible for it
TO serve all of the pupils of the Dis
trict who desire the intensified tech
nical education which the school pro-
Vides and at the same time bring
high school education nearer to pu-
pills to the northeast section where
high school facilities are not now
provided.
Officials have found it impossible
to enlarge Techs present building as
it occupies the whole plot of ground.
The building does not contain a gym
nasium, essential to every high
school, and is located in the heart of
d section of the city largely occupied
by colored people. Most of the pu-
pills now attending Mckinley come
from other parts Of the city rather
than from the territory surrounding
the school.
When the present Mckinley is va
Gated it is proposed to install in this
building the Shaw Junior High School
(colored), now located in the old NJ
Street High School. The Shaw Jun
ior High School is fat taxing the
capacity of the present building
In turn il is proposed to utilize the
NJ Street High School building from
which the Shaw pupils will be taken
for a business high school for COL
ored pupils by transferring the bust
ness department out of the Dunbar
High School which has a capacity
for 1900 pupils, and now has an en-
rollment approximating 1000.

Republican editors point again to
the old saying. LAS Maine goes. so
goes the nation" Notwithstanding
this years reduced majorities in
Maine and the injection of the klan
issue, from which their Democratic
contemporaries draw much comfort
The Republican viewpoint of Maine
itself, is thus expressed by the Port
land Express:
1.-The overwhelming majority of the
Republican voters of Maine perceived
the real issues of the campaign and
perceived them clearly. They saw
that they We're legitimate party is
sues as between the Republican and
Democratic parties and estimating al
their true worth the attempts made
to deceive them, they voted accord
ingly." That the Republican party
is in vigorous harmony behind the
chosen leaders is the outstanding
fact" asserts the Buffalo News Gre
publican), while the Kansas City
Journal Republican), is confident
that the Republicans face the Novem-
Der election with new confidence
"and the opposition has no vestge
of encouragement from the stand
point of the Pine Tree State vote"
While political observers might
question the accuracy of the Maine
barometer, Ine Sedlde lillicS NAiiNS-
pendent Republican, holds the eVi-
dence is convincing when so strong
a preference is shown as that regis
tered" The result leaves Mr.. Davis
candidacy in desperate straits, con-
tinues the New York Herald-Trlbune
(Republican), his supporters are
abandoning the West to Mr.. La Fol-
lette, and now his own home front
collapses in his rear-the ellmina-
ton of Mr.. Davis could scarcely be
more complete" Papers in the North
west, like the st. Paul D1spatch I'M
dependent), the Minneapolis Tribune
(Republican), and the Sioux City
Journal (Republican). feel that while
the Republicans are properly cheered
by the general results in Maine they
will not take anything for granted
in the more muddled' Western anc
Northwestern States.

From the Democratic view, as set
forth by former Senator Hitchcocks
Omaha World Herald, the situation
looks this way:

Maine this year is encouraging, be-
cause cit puts an effective QuietuS to

and La Toilette adherentS alike tnat
the Democratic party has been elm

Had the party percentages OF two
years ago been maintained. the New
York Times independent Demooratic)
points out, Gov. Brewsters majority
should have been $4,000 larger. In
fact, the Republican majority for Sen
ator Fernald, running on the same
ticket was $4,000 larger. 1t IS thus
evident that the special attacks made
upon Gov. Brewster, on account or
his Endorsement by the ku Klux Khan
and for some personal reasons, had
the effect of causing him to fail to
get the full Republican vote" 1t is
plain, argues the Lynchburg News
(Democratic), that the Democrats
got the better of the fight by cutting
the Republican majority of 1920 in
half"

Eastern High School. East Wash
ington's magnificent new secondary
institution, is the only one of the
seven senior high schools which be-
gins the 1s241s25 scholastic year
free from congestion. 1t will take
two years under a normal growth
in the schools student body before
the maximum capacity of it's present
accommodations is reached. With
the proposed development of the
Junior high school system, Eastern
may never be forced to resort to
emergency measures. like the other
high schools, to provide facilities
for it's students.
The East Washington school, how
ever, passed through all of the make
shift experiences of the other high
schools while in it's old home near
Seventh street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. southeast. 1t is now enjoying a
new freedom from overcrowding in its
pretentious new building at Seventeenth
and East Capitol streets.
Eastern's growth in the last six
and half years has been unprece-
dented and its new home was not
completed any too soon. With a
student body of $50 during the 1917
