Opportunities.

From the Hollywood Daily Citizen.
new experiment in the science of
education, and one which has long
been advocated by Americas most
eminent educational authorities. will
be inaugurated in the city of Pasa-
dena this Fall with the opening of
the Benjamin Franklin Opportunity
School, where highly gifted students
will be given special scholastic
training.
This new type of public school is
based upon the principle that the
Nation must mold it's future leaders
from among it's brightest students
and that present-day school systems
fail to afford the proper opportuni-
ties to such children.
However, the establishment of this
school will not only give added op-
portunity to advanced students, but
will enable instructors in other
schools in the city to give more time
and thought to the average boy and
girl.
And therein lies the great posi-.
bilities of the new school for nation
wide service.
The history of many nations shows
us that great leaders often come from
mediocre students who need special
encouragement.
Were only brilliant pupils to be
considered there would be no room
for Napoleons, Edisons or Roosevelts,
who were poor scholars as youngsters,
while scientific wonders would rarely
be performed were it not for the per-
son who develops a thirst for knowl-
edge in his childhood days.

tending a short distance down. Thus
there is no shelter from the storm
outside of the buildings themselves,
and they are by no means secure in
the face of a wind of hurricane
velocity.
Yet these conditions which make
for danger do not discourage habita-
ton. Just as in volcanic regions the
people persist in building on the
slopes of active vents. SO Florida has
attracted increasing numbers Of peo-
pie despite the danger from these oc-
casional violent visitations from the
sea. And not even this latest and
most furious of the storms of modern
times will prevent rebuilding on prob
ably a larger scale than ever. For
the glorious climate of Florida and
it's attractions as a pleasure resort
are unaffected, Notwithstanding this
shocking reminder that Natures
forces of fury may at any time be
un1eashed.

THINK 1T OVER
"WelcOme to Our City"
By William Mather LetDis,
President George Washington University

We are at the beginning of another
academic year. Our universities and
colleges are throwing wide their doors
to receive a vast army Of students.
1t is the time of difficult transition for
the youth who last year attained the
dignity of a high school senior and
who now descends to the rank of a
college freshman. Our most progress
sive institutions are taking cogni-
zance Of this transition period and
are providing freshman orientation
courses, freshman week or some other
means of giving him an understand
ing Of his new environment. These
institutions are in reality saying to
the freshman welcome to our city!"
For, indeed, these boys and girls are
taking up their residences in COM
munity Of letters, Of social and ath-
letic life quite different from those in
which they have lived.
Many who have come into univer-
sity communities from high school
have found their surroundings diff
cult and distasteful because they have
not at the beginning secured informa-
ton about the new community and it's
system which would enable them to
go about without loss of time or
energy.

checked by limitations placed upon
the District appropriation bills by the
Bureau Of the Budget. II this is done
the District will accumulate more ar.
rears in school needs, which must be
met eventually at a greater cost than
now. The process of overtaking
against the handicap Of long-standing.
unmet needs is a slow and costly one.
In point Of teaching personnel the
schools are in most satisfactory con.
dition. The educational organization
is efficient. Harmonious administra-
ton prevails. Save for the congestion
in classrooms and the necessitated
doubling of duties the work is on a
high plane.
Washington is proud of its public
educational system, and hopes for the
day when it will be adequately
equipped to care for its increasing
needs.

Schools Reopen Today.

School opens today in Washington
with an attendance between so, 900 and
65 1000. The total will grow as the sea-
son advances, as late-comers are en-
rolled. Probably 10000 pupils will be
under tuition by the first of October.
Despite recent additions to the build
ing equipment these pupils will not
be adequately housed. Some of them
will remain in portable buildings.
some in part-time classes. Practically
all Of the high schools will be crowd
ed. The five-year building program.
designed to relieve this congestion and
put the schools for the first time in
the history of public education in the
District upon the basis Of full equip
ment, has barely gained headway.
The largest unit of the new series Of
buildings, the Mckinley High School,
has only recently been started and
will probably not be ready for use
until the opening of the school season
of 1898.

1t has been reckoned that there
will be at least so, more or less,
straightout prohibition contests in
districts and States electing, respec-
lively. Representatives and Senators
to the Seventeen Congress. The drys
calculate that even when the benefit
of the doubt is given to the vets in
some of these fights, the next Nation
al Legislature will be over two to one
against repeal or modification of the
national prohibition act. But the drys
admit that their leaders, workers and
constituents must keep sleeplessly on
the job between now and November
if Capitol Hill year and a quarter
hence is to be kept as safe for prohi-
bition as it is today.

In eight States the electorate will
have a direct chance Of voting their
prohibition views. Two different kinds
Of referendums Tor "referenda," as
sticklers for Latin syntax like to put
iD are in sight. Missouri, Montana,
Colorado and California will vote on
a referendum that will have legal
binding effect If passed. In the case
Of those four States, voters are to be
asked to say whether or not local
State enforcement acts should be re-
pealed. New York, Wisconsin, Ne
vada and Illinois will each have q
prohibition referendum on their re-
spective ballots on November 2, pro.
vid1ng merely for an expression Of
public opinion. If the voters of those
States vote for the modification refer
endum, they will only be expressing
their views. which do not become
mandatory. In New York, Wisconsin,
Nevada and Illinois, therefore, the
drys have passed out to their people
the word not to vote on the refer
endum at all. The attitude taken is
that the result will be a meaningless
thing and is therefore beneath notice
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding,
the results Of the forthcoming election
will afford some kind of a barometer
of popular opinion on the unending
prohibition problem. What the drys
secretly hope, and pretend seriously
to expect, Is that wet victories will
be so few and so inconsequential that
there will be no encouragement to
keep up the fight to demolish Vol

Fury of the Wind.

The hurricane that hit the Florida
coast early Saturday morning was the
third severe storm felt in the Miami
region within q year. On the 30th
of November. 1925, a gale, developed
offshore in the Atlantic, smashed
across the mainland and took eleven
lives, destroying property valued at
100000 The rainfall at Miami on
that occasion was more than fourteen
inches. Last July tropical tornado
ragged along the lower Florida coast
and the Bahama Islands with wind
velocity of over fifty-f1ve miles an
hour at Miami. No lives were lost
on the mainland on that occasion,
however, though much damage was
done. This present visitation gained
a wind velocity, it is estimated, Of one
hundred and thirty miles an hour, and
was, beyond comparison, the most
violent of all three.
1t is practically impossible to meas
IRE wind blowing at the rate which
is believed to have prevailed at Miami
Saturday morning. Recording instru-
ments do not function dependably
above eighty miles. The force Of the
air at such a rate is irresistible. Any
opposing object, no matter how stout,
short of a rock cliff or mountain,
will suffer. Steel structured buildings
NAV be wrecked. Windows. of course,
will yield against such a pressure.
Trees are uprooted. frame houses are
swept away, the soil itself is blown
off and scattered widely.
In the prairie regions of the West
ern States the inhabitants long ago
learned to build cyclone cellars as
means of protection against the sud
denly formed violent storms. But In
Florida cellars are practically i'm
possible. The occupied land is SO
near the surface of the ocean that ex-
cavations quickly fill with water. The
foundations of large buildings have
to be sunk by means Of caissons to
bed rock or hard-pan. Ordinary
dwellings are placed almost fiat upon
the ground, with concrete footings ex-
