No Change in School Hours.

School children can resume their
normally bright outlook on life. The
Board OF Education yesterday voted
against the proposal to lengthen the
hours OF school attendance. In the
survey that was conducted on the
proposal it was found that the
parents were almost five to one
against longer hours. and the board,
taking cognizance OF this sentiment,
voted promptly to reject the idea.
From nine in the morning until
three in the afternoon, with occa =
sional extra study both in the schools
and at home, Is certainly enough
time to cram knowledge into the
rising generation. The trite saying
OF ALL work and no play" applies in
this case because growing children
need not only exercise but hours Of
relaxation in order to develop into
we'll rounded and adaptable men and
women.
OF course there is something to
be said on the side of tho parents.
especially those who are at work
during the entire day, but parents
cannot expect, nor IS IL proper, that
teachers in the schools should take
over the duties Of supervision Of
the children for longer hours than
education demands. The school au-
thorities, no matter how efficient,
cannot take the place Of parental
training.
So the bright-faced children Of
Washington may look up to their big
friend. the Board of Education. and
know that additional hours will not
be given them in the public schools
Of the District. Education. Of. the
youngsters is progressing at very
satisfactory rate and there. is no

skeleton organization in times Of
peace" functions more effectively
when the political warfare is actively
resumed.
Mr.. Butler became chairman Of the
Republican national committee at the
request Of President Coolidge. He has
been and is a close frieid Of the Presi-
dent. His retention Of the chairman
ship undoubtedly Is at the request Of
President Coolidge. While President
Coolidge has not indicated his own
plans for 1928, many Republicans be-
lieve he Is the logical candidate for the
presidency to succeed himself. II he
is to be a candidate, to whom would
he look for campaign management If
not to the man who had successfully
handled the 1924 campaign?
Mr.. Butler is silent about his own
political plans other than to say that
he will remain chairman Of the Re
publican committee. It Is possible he
may undertake to stage a comeback
himself in 1928. attempting at that
time to wrest from Senator Walsh the
seat in the Senate which Walsh has
just taken from him. Should he enter
the senatorial race himself. he might
step aside as chairman Of the national
committee, even If the President were
q candidate, in order to give more at
tention to his own campaign. How
ever, with Coolidge heading the ticket
in Massachusetts in 1928 and Butler
directing the national struggle. the
presidential and senatorial campaigns
might well run along together in the
Bay State.

THIS AND THAT

One sometimes wonders II most Of

Lack Of discrimination commonly
places words spoken 'in fun" on a

Proportion is sadly out Of joint.
We treasure up q chance Ill word

says. land I will not forget"
Why not?
Why should one inture ones own
soul by harboring i'll will, simply be.
cause some one else has. in a moment
Of forgetfulness. spoken words for
which he was later sorry?
There is many a kindly person
lured into saying something which is
not native to his usual traits Of mind.
Surely his past record should weigh
in the scale.
Surely we ought to discriminate bet.
ter than we do in such matters, gen.
orally speaking. The man who speaks
from malice properly enough may be
noted down in the tablets of memory.

son who errs through good nature
ought to get off lightly.
That he does not Is due to the ter
rible power OF words.

Senator from the Bay State, but who
was defeated by Senator elect David
+. Walsh on November ,. is to con-
tinue chairman Of the Republican ma
>ional committee. Mr.. Butler was
chairman OF the national committee
before he was Senator. He conducted
he campaign which landed President
coolidge a winner in 1924 by many
millions of votes. He retained the
craftsmanship and has continued a
real organization, with headquarters
,pen all the year round.
Under Mr. Buffers direction the ma
ional Republican organization has
tunctioned effectively. One of the
drst principles Of operation laid down
hy Mr.. Butler when he took charge
was that there should be no deficit. The
campaign was TO be paid for prompt

Italy's Year.

Maj. Mario dc Bernardo, the little
italian flyer who gave every American
contender in the recent Schneider Cup
race the smoke from his exhaust pipe
and flashed around the course for a
new world record for seaplanes Of
more than 246 miles per hour, is now
the holder of the straightaway speed
record, the only title held by an Amer
lean after Maj de Bernardi's con-
Quering fight on Saturday.
Yesterday the italian aviator got
his tiny monoplane in the air for a
straightaway dash and swept the
boards clean, to return to Mussolini
with every seaplane world record
tucked under his arm. The Macchi-
Flat ship, OF which Maj. de Bernardo
has shown himself the master, and
which was especially constructed for
the Schneider races, is the fastest
plane that has been seen in this coun.
try. At better than four miles a min
ute it flew away from every other
contender. Equipped as q seaplane,
as It was yesterday, and on a straight
away, Maj. de Bernardo projected him.
self through the air at 258 miles an
hour, bettering the record by 13 miles
Americans have not looked forward
with any particular pleasure to the
loss Of all their coveted records. but as
good sportsmen they are willing to
hand the palm Of airplane speed de.
sign to Italy for at least tho year 1925.
Next year may tell another story IL
Congress will take cognizance OF the
situation and appropriate sufficient
funds for American constructors to
build their own conception OF speedy
planes. e..
No alibis are offered for the loss Of
the recent race. Even II America s
fastest ship had not been turned over
the day before the contest the result
would have been the same. az none Of
the planes built In this country had
shown the amazing speed of the Italian
racers.
II America does not wish the rec
ords to be msnently held by q for
eign nation 1t obviously behooves the
Army and Navy to get busy and expert
ment with faster ships. Maj. de Ber-
nardi Travelled at greater pace than
man has ever done before in a sea-
plane, but plane records are flckle
honors. and there appears to be no
reason why an American ship can
not be built to travel faster than the
fastest time ever yet recorded to bring
the titles hack to this country.
