Spanish Ambassador gives for other
diplomats of Washington during the
season and between seasons, does not

contingent at Havana is a small, COM
pact body, consisting of about 19 min
| listers, always in residence, and about
10 others who are accredited both to
Havana and to Washington or to
Havana and to Mexico City. The Aus
trian Minister and Nine. Prochnik,
the Swiss Minister and Nine. Mark
Peter, the Portuguese Minister. Wis
count d'Alte, and the Paraguyan Min
lister and Nine. Ayala are among those
will known in Washington who come
on occasion to Havana.
The diplomatic corps at Havana,
other than Gen. CroWder'S staff, has
but one American chatelaine, and she
is Mrs. Franz Call Zitelmann, the
wife of the German Minister, who for
merly was Miss Edith Won Klein of
Chicago. daughter of DR.. Karl Won
Klein. who came to the United States
when he was less than 10 years old
and became citizen and had a long
and honorable career in his adopted
country. Mrs. ZitelmannS mother
was Miss Edith Field of New York
City. Mrs. Won Klein. now widowed
lives in Detroit, and Mrs. Zitelmann
frequently has passed through Wash
ington en- route to visit her mother.
Last Winter she was entertained by
Gen. and Nine. Won Below and by DR.
and Nine. Carl Won Lewinski. Much
informality marks the intercourse of
the diplomats among themselves and
with the official world of Havana.
Gen. Crowder is never addressed as
MI. Amba Ssa dor" nor the ENJOYS as
MIR. Minister" and the terms "Mr."
and Mrs" are used entirely in con.
VerSation and in letters.

lie would have the counties levy a
tax to pay IS per cent of the cost of
The additional two months and pay
the other 25 per cent out of the
$500, 200. North Carolina, he point
ed out, is among the very few re-
naming states that have no, estab-
lished the eight months term.
The lengthening Of the school term,
Prof. Dougherty said, vii! mean a
general uplift in the entire state, but
it will mean also that teachers must
be especially trained for their work.
Il am one who believes,' he con

teaches should be trained to do 50,

period long enough to earn a liv-
ing for the entire year, else the
schools will continue to be taught by
young, inexperienced teachers who
have never been trained to do any
thing well and who are looking for
something better"
In summing up his position on a
scnool system for the state, Prof
Dougherty stressed these points:
/. Opposition to any increase in
taxes until the discrepancies in the
tax load of rich and poor counties are
corrected.
2. An equal chance for every
child IN the state.
5. An equal year for every tax
payer.
4. Listing of all the property in
each county on the tax books at its
real value.
5. Uniform tax of thirty cents or
500 valuation.
6. Retention of the money in the
county in which it is collected, will
the consequent preservation of loca
government.
7. An equalizing fund of $4,000,
