University Summer session Friday. 1t

In passing on formulate from genera
ton to generation, but it has furnished
neither the groundwork nor the in
centive for thinking. Consequently
American opinions are stsreotyped.
There is little curiosity as to funda-
mentals. What America needs, Or.
CONN said, Is citizenry which
Challenges existing arrangements in
politics, industry, education, morals
and religion"
Obviously there is a continuous need
for the revising of formulate. What Is
true for one generation is not neces-
sarily true for the next and what is
true for one man may be false for his
neighbor. An education which teaches
formulate by. rote is a second-rate edu-
cation, ''r'
ut is not the business of education"
DR.. Coffin said, ito provide ready-made
answers. That would be fatal to the
inquisitiveness which We have striven
to arouse. Education cannot afford not
to try to develop out Of the crude ma
terials in the interior lives of students
insight, vision and spiritual perception
which shall enable them to arrive for
themselves at an Interpretation Of

In other words, education must be
far more than merely the accumulation
Of certain orderly arrangements Of
facts.
1t must provide the background and
the inspiration for challenging both
the arrangements and the facts them
selves.
In this way only lies progress.

HAmoteness.
When you read the disputations about

You feel alone-all alone!
When the scientists get at us, you sus-
pect you have no status
That can strictly be construed as
quite your own.
Researches telescope leave US very
n1isanthropic
When you learn of worlds in spactal
depths unknown.
In the midst Of cosnlic chatter that In
wolves both mind and matter
You feel alone-all alonei
When the insect pest is coming with
its unrelenting hunlming--
You feel alone-all alone!
There Is something almost comic In
the theories atomic
That make q nolecule busy zone.
And whether in your daring, with q
planet you're comparing,
Or with germs q small existence Of
your own;
You will find that as a guesser 'nongst
the greater or the lesser
You are alone-al alone!

MARYLAND Ston SIGNS.

The State Of Maryland has enhanced
its fine highway and motoring reputa-
ton this Summer by the installation of
stop signs on all roads intersecting with
main high-speed arteries. Long noted
for its good road system and for the
wisdom and reasonableness of its traffic
regulations, Maryland, by this step,
takes rank with States which lead in
progressive trafic thought. Good high
ways and good regulations are the in
gradients for successful handling of
the perplexing problem Of moving large
volumes of traffic safely and quickly
and with the new yellow signs installed
Maryland need admit no superior.
In the past, Washington motorists
going West have enjoyed travelling over
Maryland's fine roads, but with the
forty-mile-an-hour speed limit have
been apprehensive lest car should
suddenly emerge onto the main high
way from an obscure side road. AS
soon as Maryland was left behind this
feeling vanished, as Ohio, Indiana, IL
linois,- Missouri, Kansas and other
States protected the high-speed motor
traveller by giving him absolute right
Of way on the main highways. Sim
ilarly, on the return trip the fnotorist
felt secure from interference on high
speed roads until Maryland was
reached. Then he would blow his horn
regularly on approaching the side roads
as q measure Of caution. Everything is
different now, however. The rnotorist
drives in Maryland with the same sense
of protection that he does in other
States.
Only one thing remains now to be
accomplished on Marylands highways.
Stopped vehicles on the pavement
should be prohibited. This regulation is
in effect in many States, and is based
on the theory that a menacing situation
arises when two lines Of trat1c travelling
at forty miles an hour or more meet at
a point where half the road is blocked
by a stationary machine. do not stop
on the pavement" is therefore COM
mon sign along main highways in many
States. It would seem logical that
Maryland could with profit consider q
regulation that imposes no hardship on
the motorist, inasmuch as 1t is q COM
paratively easy matter to ind stop
ping place on the road, and at the same
time provides a measure Of safety the
Importance Of which cannot be ctal-
lenged.

Liherty,s Brighter Torch.

It is eminently fitting that the colos-
sal Statue of Liberty lighting the world
should be equipped with . more power
full beacon in celebration Of the golden
jubilee of the electric light. =
AS the influence of the United States,
the pioneer Nation in establishing hui
man liberty as the basis of govern
ment, reaches farther and farther as q
guiding light to the nations, the light
on this ernblematic monument should,
as token, become stronger and more
powerful.
The change Just made Is the third in
intensifying the light on this beacon.
It was originally of metal, lighted by a
lantern. Then the ordinary clear cleo
trie lights were installed in 1915. Now
there have been installed II incandes-
cent lights with a new lighthouse lens
within the flame OF the torch. A 1900
watt light replaces the 1,ooo-watt light,
and 750-watt bulbs replace the 5o0-watt
bulbs.
The new light can be seen three times
farther than the one it replaces. It is
an emblem of American progress and
leadership In lighting the way Of self
government and proper regard for the
inherent rights of individuals to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
among men and nations.

Growth Through Fellowship
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN. D. D., L. D,
Bishop Of Washington

which Christian practice demands. It
Is uncomfortable that the pursuit Of
goodness should render US insular To
be good by ourselves and to feel our
independence Of the goodness of others
Is TO conceive Of state of virtue that
Is unappealing and unattractive. Prof
Royce Of Harvard conceived of the
church as the blessed community. Z"
To his mind the Christian religion In
its highest expression was communal
and not individual. To abide in the
commonwealth Of Christian believers
means on the one hand to contribute
to its greater enrichment, and on the
other to draw from it increasing
strength and power. There is a type
Of worshiper. singularly. devout but
grossly selfish, who thinks Of his de-
votions IN terms Of his own advantage.
Now and a-Sain We flnd church whose
self-consciousness is so pronounced
that 1t esteems its privileges as ex-
elusive and It's responsibilities as per-
tanning only to its own class and type.
The social habits Of Jesus were pro-
nounced and conspicuous. While He
began His ministry in the wilderness, He
lived the major portion Of His active
service In towns and villages. The
streets Of Jerusalem with their throng-
ing nnultitudes drew Him to them.
0cdUcu one evening on fluI overlooking
Jerusalem, He wept over those who had
repealed Him and who were incapable
Of realizing the values of a ministry
that sought not only the betterment Of
the individual but Of society. He began
His active service by gathering to His
side peasant disciples. He yearnec for
companions. He counseled with them
concerning the deep things Of His min
tstry. The loneliest hour In His life was
IN the garden Of GethSemane, and one
Of the saddest words he ever uttered
was to these same disciples when He
said, will ye also 90 away" We need
q treshened emphasis upon the value Of
Christian fellowship. We are emphasiz-
ing too much the brands of our church
rnanship and the shibboleths of our
cults. It Is unthinkAble that we should
recognize the sovereignty and Savior
hood of Christ, be the recipients of His
gifts and promises, and be unresponsive
TO that community of interests that
binds together those who acknowledge
Him as Lord and Master. I'VE are
members one of another" and If we
would draw from the practice Of our de-
votions freshened courage and strength
we must recognize, first, the intimacy Of
our relationship with Christ, and sec
ond, the intimacy Of our relationship
one with another

That last statement Is true enough.

Meanwhile, the regular Republicans
are themselves scared enough by the
excuses of their own constituents In
industrial districts to be disposed toward
moderation on their own account. Au-
tomobiles are by no means the only

the tariff mountain climbers, whose
only watchword Is Excelsior
The approaching situation is that al
three elements In the Senate-the reg

telling on one another and pointing

Double-Parking Rules.

The. revised regulation on double
parking will serve the purpose of legal
izing an illegal practice Of long stand
ing. The old rule required a driver to
remain with a double-parked CONNER
cial vehicle during the process Of load
Ing and unloading. But the drivers did
not remain with the vehicles, for the
most part, and when the regulation
was enforced the merchants protested
vigorously against the additional burden
Of manning their trucks with two men
where one served the purpose before
The changed regulation permits a
driverless vehicle to remain double
parked during loading or unloading,
provided its position does not seriously
impede or interfere with trafic. .
The change is reasonable in view Of
the parking conditions in the downtown
area. When the curbs are solidly
blocked with parked vehicles, business
must 60 ahead as usual, and If double
parking were in all cases forbidden the
only alternative would be to revise the
whole practice Of loading and unloading
commercial automobiles, with the hard
ship thus incurred falling upon the
merchants.
But the new rule can only be viewed
as a. necessary expedient, and is by
no means permanent or happy solu-
ton Of the parking problem faced by
commercial or private vehicles. The
tendency will be for the drivers to take
advantage Of the regulation, with en-
tangling results to other traf1c. To Of
set this tendency, the merchants and
owners Of delivery wagons should seek
to preserve the advantage gained
through the changed regulation by
rigidly guarding against its abuse. II
they view the privilege Of double park
ing as one to be used in cases Of ex-
IRENE emergency alone, there will be
no great difficulty. If the drivers in
terpret it as letting down the bars
entirely, thus allowing them to park
anywhere at any time, the resulting
confusion will sound the death knell
OF the special privilege.

Would Place Statues
In Memorial Building

To the Editor Of The Star.
On July 10 you published q story
under the heading "Statuary Hall as
Junk Shop Foreseen by Sculptor"
quoting F. W. Ruckstull, noted sculptor,
as advocating changes in Statuary Hall
so that each State could have its two
representatives shown under ideal con-
ditions and where small busts and pic
lures might be placed.
According to Mr.. Ruckstull'S state
ment, $l00,00000o would not be too
much Of an expenditure by the Gov
eminent In order to give the statues
proper display.
Within the next two years there Is
to be erected here in the Nations Cap
ital the George Washington Memorial
Building on the Mall at Sixth and 3
streets at q cost Of $l0.000,000. The
plan Of the building provides for rooms
aside for their exclusive use.
Among the nationally known men
and women on the advisory council and
finance committee Of the George Wash
ington Memorial Association are so
United States Senators, Representa-
tives and high ranking Government
officials. In the opinion OF the major
ity Of this board the problem now fac
ing the Government as to the placing
or statues now IN SCaCuary HAL ana
those to be placed In the future could
best be disposed Of by accepting the
offer of the association to use the me-
mortal as a statuary hall. The pres
ent statues, which will have to be
moved eventually In any case, could be
placed In q most appropriate setting
in this beautiful building. AS Q me-
mortal building, to be administered by
the board Of regents Of the Smith
sonian Institution, no plan could be
more appropriate.
The statues, two from each State,
could be placed on either side Of the
entrance to each States permanent
headquarters in the building. Provision
has been made in the plans for o spa
cious hall from which these rooms open
and the plans could, at this time, be
easily revised to admit Of this addition.
