DIPLOMA
. PLAN DROPPED

Superintendent of Schools Frank
w. Ballou, today authorized Harry
o. Hine. secretary Of the Board u
Education to reject any diplomas
furnished to the high schools which
are not Of the quality the Board
has demanded in previous years.
DIR. Ballou said that the object
of the Board in changing the plan
under which the contract for en-
craving the diplomas was awarded
was to save money through real
competitive bidding and not through
inferior diplomas"
Plates are to be made in the
future, he said. which win become
the property OF the Board OF Edu-
cation, thereby removing the dd.
vantage which one bidder might
have over the others through
possessing the plates. In this way,
the board expects to secure each
year the lowest possible bid for the
printing.
The order OF the Superintendent
will insure the members Of the
classes graduating from the high
schools in February receiving az
good diplomas as the senior classes
have been given in the past, It was
said.

Capital Punishment
By DR.. FRANK CRANE

ENRY FORD the other day brought up again the
question of capital punishment
He is opposed to it because nobody is willing him
self to kill man
He also thinks that killing certainly does the man no
good 1t doesn reform him. and he doubts whether it does
society any good
When reaches the point where he wants to kill
another he doesn't whether he himself gets killed
This thing of nflcting the extreme penalty upon man
is practical It is based upon consideration for
the but upon regard for society It is supposed to
deter others from serious crimes.
Opponents of capital punishment that as matter Of
deterrent does good They bring statistics to support
this argument and claim that the severe punshments
are the wider the spread Of crime Those favor Of
capital punishment deny this
About the thing that could happen to most men il
to lose LIFE People who afraid Of nothing else fear
death.
In its effort to protect human life society the old
argument of fear and claims that people viii be prevented
from killing others best of all by being in danger of being
killed themselves
It is all piece with the whole fear argument Time was
when men were supposed to be made better by the fear Of
hell and youth supposed to be in check bv the fear
OF their evil deeds in later life.
Both OF these motives insufficient People are willing
TO take risk for the sake Of the fun profit involved
fact people risk their lives more wny than ANYTHING else
man will risk his life where he viii not risk his
property.
to risk their ves but it very hard to get them to
franc.
If we want to stop crime the thing to do is to remedy
me conditions that make crime and merely indulge in
the vengeance of killing
Killing is vengeance only. It is not punishment
Inc argument against imprisonment for life has its chief
support IN the tact that by and by the prisoner will be
pardoned by the governor Take this pardonng power
away from the for the present and lodge it
board selected by the courts Have all pardons issued by

In this way imprisonment for life will be made and

Another Five Year Program for
Our Public Schools

The Board Of Education and superintendent Baou Of
public schools wisely looking ahead legislative authoriza
ton for another fveyear program for the Districts public
school system
schools again getting in the deporabe condition they
few years ago. when Congress put through the exist
ing veyear program to provide sufficient school buildings
and equipment to comfortably take care Of the school enroll
ment
The Board Of Educaon is going the assumption that by
out and that by that time there will be adequate housing
Tor all school children with ful-time classes
The putting through Of the existing program has been de-
ayed for many There still 80 parime classes
IN public schools The children Of these classes taught
school buildings not large enough to provide for the full
enrolment do not get the maximum benefits they entitled
TO.
The annual increase in the enrolment Of District schools
= large however that there certainty that the
buildings go up in the few years will permit fume
classes throughout the system So the board prepare
for probabilities.
The annual school budget is authorized by Congress far
ahead Of actual expenditures In two years from the next
appropriations that win close up the present fveear pro-
gram and will be ready hear from school officials and the
public to future school needs The citizens Of various
unes expected to look ahead and furnish the Board
OF Education with information to their school requirements
Through cordial cooperation between school authorities
and citizens IN preparing for future needs possible
schools should again face the conditions that have
Deem so hurul to the proper education Of District children
Having the wisdom of its fiveyear plan Congress
will be well satisfied follow that method in the future
provided there is overwhelming public sentiment for it,
there should be.
gram the Board Of Education will be in position to smooth
cut all differences and submit the Commissioners and the
Budget Bureau program that will be strongly supported by
Ill the people Of Washington.
