Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. HUMMER

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The house of repre-
sentatives never is more delighted than when oppor-
tunity is afforded Nick %Longworth and Jack Garner
to engage publicly in a l%ovefest.
For the warm friendship that has existed between
the republican speaker and the democratic floor
leader for more than a quarter Of a century is re-
spected and admired by every member Of the lower
house.
They are cronies in the truest sense of the word.
Although they subscribe to different political faiths
and have frequently clashed on the floor, nevertheless
their friendship never has been threatnd. 1t is not
uncommon to see them-even after the most heated
tilts-stroll arm in arm out Of the house chamber
down the corridors Of the capitol.

GENTLE WORDS
So. at the opening OF the special session, after
Longworth had defeated Garner 254 to 143 for the
speakership and the fiery democrat had been chosen
to present the new speaker to the house, every men,
Der settled comfortably in his seat.
They knew nice words we're in the offing.
Garner started by saying that it was a distinct
privilege as we'll as a real pleasure in this instance
to present the speaker elect Of the sevnty-first con-
gress. Then he became more informal and personal
1T so happens that we came to Washington as
representatives at the same time. We have been
associated together on committees as well as in the
house for the past quarter of a century.
He certainly has been one of the most impartial
and fair presiding officers that has ever occupied this
exalted position. He is beloved by the entire mem
bership regardless of party affiliation."
And then. as the house broke into prolonged ap-
plause. Garner presented "a great statesman, a real
outstanding American. Nicholas Longworth Of Ohio"
AND 7 WORDS
After a bow and a warm -handclasp to Garner Il
was Longworth's turn.
Turning to the house he said that he had just
been presented by a man who received the unanimous
vote of his party for speaker, there by carrying with
it as a necessary incident his elevation to the leader
ship Of the democratic party in the house.
81 congratulate you members seated upon the east
side of the aisle upon the wisdom of your choice. The
gentleman from Texas and I entered congress IS
years ago
THAT he is a better man than I, in the estimation
of his constituents. is made clear by the fact that his
service has been continuous. Mine was interrupted by
a vacation of two years. by no means on my own
motion"
The speaker concluded his tribute by saying that
Senator Foraker Of Ohio once coined a phrase exem-
plifying the activities and future Of his party. 1t
was: vim. vigor. Victory" Then turning to the
democratic side he said:

MARRIED.

GlOtfelty-Casteel-A very beauti-
full wedding was solemnized at the
home of Mrs. Margaret E. Casteel, in
Oakland, Saturday evening at $50
o'clock, when her daughter, Miss Sgd
ney Evelyn, became the bride of Mr..
Mason j. Glotfelty, of Addison, Pa.
Rev. Bernard Gibbs, of Terra Alta,
w. Va, former pastor of st. Paul's
church, Oakland, performed the cere-
mony. The bride was attired in a
brown georgette and velvet gown
with hat and shoes to match, while
the groom was becomingly attired in
a business suit. Shortly after the GER
emory the wedding party left by mo-
tor for Pittsburgh and points in Ohio.
Mrs. Glotfelty graduated from the
Oakland High School, class of 1922,
and has been employed in the office of
the County Agent for this county
for the past seven years. Mr.. Glot
felty is employed as a salesman by
Mr. E. S. Evans at Terra Alta where

turning toward ocialisn1-England,
Germany, France, even Italy. If this
country continues toward its goal of
being the greatest capitalistic nation
on earth, they will crush her. X \
All my books have said one thing
life in America is inescapably dull.
Conversation is dull. People are dull"
1t may be, of course, that the den
sity of the American people is dem
onstrated by the large sale in this
country of the Sinclair books. Many
authors who contend that the United
States is a stupid country decline to
escape from its dullness by trekking
to less profitable markets for their
wares, on the theory that foreign peo-
pies would be entirely too bright to
buy the output with which they seek
to befoul the home nest.
But what Lewis says about the en-
nifty which arises in Europe toward
the United States because nations
there have drifted into socialism and
the success of so-called Capitalism"
in America is a handicap to their doc
trine of the master state and the slave
citizen, has real significance in view
of the fact that Lewis is in close
touch with the radicals of foreign
lands.
The Lewis statement means that
the United States must go socialist
or be attacked and crushed for the re-
fusal by the socialist dictators of Eu-
rope, and Lewis failed to mention
that at the head of the list of So
cialist states is Soviet Russia.
However, the American people will
scarcely be frightened into the sur
render of that birthright of individ-
ual freedom which is their most cher
ished possession by the threat that
the penalty of failing to do so is at
tack from European socialist powers,
even when it comes from so distin-
guished a socialist propaganda as
Sinclair Lewis.

ing to the young American explorer a
Christmas present of the highest
ranking office in the Navy in times
of peace. On rare occasions, when
through especially brilliant exploits,
an officer has been made an Admiral,
as in the case of Dewey, the hero of
Manila Bay.
Rear Admiral Byrd is only al years
old, the youngest officer of his rank
in the Navy by II years. He was re-
tired from active service in 1916 be-
cause his athletic activities had caused
him a number of injuries eliminating
in a broken ankle. The Midshipmen's
annual in 1912 said of Byrd: ''He has
already lived a life rich in eXperien-
ces, and he will lead a life richer
still, but he will always give to life
more than he asks" Seventeen years
after that was written, the Virginian
had flown over both Poles and had
crossed the Atlantic with an airship's
crew, besides making invaluable con-
tributions to science.
An historical work in the Virginia
State Library is dedicated to the
members of the present generation of
the Byrd family, who have done so
much to restore the prestige of the
family to its former glory" Rear
Admiral Byrd and his brothers, Gov
ernor Harry Byrd, of Virginia, and
Captain Thomas Byrd, are lineal de-
pendants of Colonel William Byrd, the
founder of Richmond, and his wife,
Evelyn. Their home, "Westover," near
Richmond, is one of Virginia's his
toric estates.

PUPILS ON INCREASE In
COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Child Population From 5 To IS
Years placed BY Survey
At 225,000

There were approximately 5000
more white children of ages from 8
to IS years enrolled in the county
schools during the last school year,
as compared with the census taken
two years ago, according to state
ment issued by the State Department
of Education. The census, upon which
the statement is based, is taken every
two years.
The child population of these ages
in the counties, the statement said,
totals $4,000, of whom $4,000 are
white and $4,000 Negroes, and figures
for each group indicate that approx
mately $4,000 white and $500 Negro
children start to school each year in
the counties. The census also shows
that there are more white boys than
girls in every age group.
Compulsory Attendance
"The ages for compulsory school
attendance in Maryland counties COW
er from to 16 years, inclusive" the
report continues. "Only children who
are physically and mentally handi-
capped, or those Is and 16 years old
who have graduated from the ele-
mentary schools, have legal excuse
for failure to enroll in school. Out
of the 5000 children enumerated in
this last census, approximately 5000
are in the public school and 2,100 in
private and parochial schools.
"Of each one hundred white chill
dren of ages to 16 years, eighty
three were in public schools, eight in
private and parochial schools, and
nine were not in any school. Of
course, some of the nine not in school
were not required by law to be en-
rolled because too mentally or physic-
ally handicapped to attend school or
because they were graduates of the
elementary schools Is to 16 years old.
Aids Truant Officers
Zone of the outcomes of the cen
sus enumeration is the foIlow-up by
attendance officers to bring into
school those who were not attending
and should have been there.
Conditions in the counties vary
greatly. Talbot, Caroline, Kent, Har-
ford, Worcester and Somerset had
over 80 percent in public schools and
practically no enrolment in private
and parochial schools, while St
Mary's county had 49 percent in pub
lie schools, 80 percent in private and
parochial schools, and Is percent not
in any school Calvert county had 48
percent in public schools and Is per
cent not in any school.
Basis OF Appropriations
Cover $1,25O,OOO is distributed to
the counties and the city of Baltimore
annually, in accordance with the CEN
sus of children of ages 6 to IA years, p"
the statement adds. Each county
is, therefore, interested in making its
enumeration as complete as possible
Fifteen of the counties had an in
crease over the previous enumeration
in the number of white children of
ages to 16 years, but the following
counties showed decrease: Caroline,
Kent, Somerset, Charles, st. Mary's
Howerd, Carroll and Hartford
Baltimore, Allegany, Montgomery,
Washington, Frederick, Anne Arundel
and Prince Georges counties had in
creases over 300, the maximum being
1000 in Baltimore county and the
minimum $40 in Prince Georges.

CLUBWOMAN LAUDS NEW
EDUCATION

The greatest value of public
school education today and its high
est promise for the future lie in the
fact that its practice, for almost the
first time in its history, is based up
on a we'll reasoned, and creative
philosophy.
The public schools are no longer
merely information factories. They
are the coming laboratories for
character development. They stress
the power to think straight, and to
translate that straight thinking into
harmonious and helpful action.
They are trying to train the whole
child in such way that complete
human being, reacting satisfactorily
to the demands of modern life, may
be the result.
Individual thinking already is be-
ing emphasized by various methods,
but in order that national progress
may not sink to a dead level of
uniformity, the safeguarding of in
dividual differences should be stressed
even more than at present, writes
Mrs. John D. Sherman, chairman,
Department of American Home Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs,
who continues as follows:
Supervised study and the socializ-
ing Of the recitation should be
worked out on more inclusive basis
as an aid to straight thinking and
cooperative action. Accuracy in OBJ
servation and statement should be
fostered not only for its mental
value, but as well for the sake of its
vital results in contracting others.
The enormous possibilities of radio
and motion picture Iucation should
be fully realized and acted upon.
These aids to teaching are almost
enough in themselves to revolutionize
the science and art of pedagogy.
Home economics in its broadcast
sense should be recognized as a
standard subject and emphasized for
both boys and girls.
Much time should be devoted to the
idea of home creation, as a magni-
ficent outlet for the best thinking and
most esthetic practices for both sexes.
The spiritual values of home making
in their deepest significance should be
made part of the curriculum.
To quote from we'll known educa-
tor, Mary c. C. Bradford, "The test
of an educated human being is the
power to think straight, work hard,
play fair and love much"
Anything that will make this pos
sible in the lives of the boys and
girls Of the next generation will be
an improvement in American educa-
ton.
