for introduction in both houses of
Congress calling on the United States
Government to donate the land for
the buildings. The governors of the
States will he acquainted with the
proposal and will be asked to come TO
the National Capital for a confere nee.
Although the project for this group
of State structures is not a new one
il is he first time that actual orga nj
cation work has been started. Tenta-
tive plans for the undertaking include
a broad vista of purely state build
ings. which will reflect the entire
United States in miniature. Each
State will, in this way. have share
in this national project.
1t is eminently fitting that these
buildings should take their place
among the ma Gnificent public edifices
in the National Capital. 1t Is also
proper that Washington should be
selected as the place for a national
project Of this kind. Callers from far

ever, the committee will move stead

The High School Strike

\ strike of high school students
quence of the demotion of a popular
principal One thousand pupils walked
out of school and refused TO return
TO their lessons unless the principal
implicated in the dsmonstra ton, which
he strongly repudisted and rebuked.
But the strike went on. nevertheless.
a students strike is an anomaly.
II should be promptly and sternly re
pressed and punished. Schooling is
founded upon discipline. and a strike
is INSTRUMENTATION. The student body
cannot dictate appointments of the adj
minietrative or educational personnel.
Otherwise there would be chaos in the
orga nization.
In this case nothing matters as to
the merits of the action by the Board
of Education. The denoted principal
may have been wronged. or the board
may have been justified. yet the
strike, nevertheless. is lawless and
should be treated as wholesale de
sertion from duty.
1t is indicated that the compulsory
education law will be invoked TO com
pei the attendance of the striking stu
dents. with the parents of those under
the age of sixteen held liable if they
do not require their children to obey
the order to return 10 their desks.
That should be effective. But in any
case, whether this law can be applied
or not. the strike should be treated
by the school authorities with the
sternest hand, and those students who
fail to attend classes should be dis
for absence from tests and lessons.

All, those were funny days
The clothes they wore were quite

No ankles were on view.
Profa nifty was seldom heard
And crime waves were but few.
The bootleg games at present PLAYED

The prices that for food We're paid

Still we respect the modern style
With all its changeful ways.
And say. with a superior smile.

Sketching the extraordinary cha rae
ter of Margherita. the Kansas City
Journal declares that she was ia
nous for her democratic tendencies
and was universally beloved by her
sons subjects; throughout her life she
held tenaciously to the preservation
of individuality among royalty and
looked with disfavor upon marriages
of state" Being of her people, she
understood them and they understood
and loved her. AS the Butte Daily
Post SAYS. "One factor in contribution
to the personal popularity of Marghe-
rita was the fact that she was an
Italian, of the house of SaXony. In
recent years there has been frequent
repetition in news from Italy of men
ton of manifestation of affectionate
sentiment among the Italians toward
the venerable Queen mother"

One of the most noteworthy char
acteristics of Queen MarSherita was
that she kept pace with the progress
of her later wears and did not, as
many do. cling 10 the past, its tradi-
tons and its SORROWS" is the thought
of the Greensboro Record, which con
siders that lin this and in several
other respects her life was helpfullv
exemplary TO the world.
The picture that the New York
World draws of the Pearl of Savoy
is compelling one. as it acclaims her
"a notable figure in a royal family oi
fair women and valiant men" and
adds: Her unusual beauty comported
well with a stateliness that did not
defeat affability; her kindly heart ana
irreproachable conduct endeared her
TO the people of Italy. She did not
need to pretend an interest in those
about her. or in the victims of mis-
fortune which 1t is the privilege OF A
queen to assuage. The interest was
genuine" Continuing, the World says:
