HELP THE PAGEANT

"The Desert Calls, Imperial Valley S
Pageant, is scheduled for presentation
early in November.
As yet it has concerned only small
group of public spirited men and women
who have devoted much of their time
and labor to the preliminary details of
the pageant
Last night the script of pageant was
read to Imperial Valley newspapermen
and each of them was completely sold"
on the project.
This pageant can be splendid sue
cess, comparable with the Mission Play or
Hemet's Ramona Pageant, but to De such
it requires the active cooperation OF ev-
cry resident of Imperial Valley.
1t is big undertaking, but not too big
for men and women who love their home
and who consider Imperial Valley as
such The story of Imperial Valley is
told beautifully and interestingly and it
certainly is a story worth the telling.
From now on the pageant committee
is going to need the active cooperation of
all. 1t certainly is entitled to and deserv-
ing of this much.
When you are approached to lend your
aid, just remember that if you hedge or
welch, you are throwing down your home
and your neghbors. None of US can af-
ford to do that.

'HUMOR' OUT OF PLACE

That queer. sense of alleged humor,
which causes some persons to put tacks
on seats, to pull chairs from beneath
others and similar examples of fun, al
so shows itself at each election when the
"humorists" use the official ballots for
their brand of wit.
Writing in the names Of Andy Gump,
Jiggs, and those known as characters"
in their particular communities, is con-
sidered by some to be very funny.
Those indulging in this sort of sport
perhaps never stopped to think of the an
noyance they are causing county Off
cials. Every name on ballot, no matter
how ridiculous it may be, must be in
cluded in the final tally made up by the
board of supervisors.
Inspection of the Imperial county tally
disclosed altogether too many "humor-
lists of the brand described. Where such
names are written in on the ballot they
must also be written in on the tally, and
the string of names on the county tally
sheet is as long as a freight train.
There is nothing funny about it, either
for the clerks at the polling place on cleo
ton day, nor for any who have to do with
the ballots thereafter. In fact there is
nothing funny about it at any time. Those
indulging in this sort of thing probably

WHAT IS WRONG?

Boston school officials are much per-
turbed over the results of recent
school examination which showed Woe
full deficiency in American history on
the part of a group of high school grad
yates applying for entry into teachers
college.
Of "a girls who took the examination,
only eight were able to pass it. The
students placed Daniel Webster as Wash
lngtons secretary of state asserted Lin
coin had something to do with slavery
but turned the job over to Washington,
that the Progressive movement of 1912
had to do with western reclamation, and
made other answers of a similar nature
One of the girls, with a ranking of 80
per cent in mathematics, was able to
score but eight in the history examina-
tion.
Now officials plan an investigation to
find out what is wrong with the Boston
pubic school system. To think that
American school students, being educat-
ed IN any American city, should not have
a thorough knowledge of the history of
their country, is bad enough. When such
condition exists in Boston, which figur-
ed so prominently in the foundation of
the United States, the authorities may
we'll look into the matter for it is enough
to cause alarm.
1t is too much to ask that students
know all the details of the nations his
tory but it is unthinkable that any grad
uate of an American grammar school
should have any trouble in outlining the
major points of the development of this
country.
Mayor Curley has ordered an investi-
cation of Boston's schools to find out
what is wrong. Evidently there is some
thing wrong when girl can score 90 in
mathematics and eight in history.
How many more cities in the country
could show an equally unsatisfactory
schools relegating history into the back
ground? If 50 they are robbing future
American citizens of their most precious
heritage-a knowledge Of their country's
story-and they are undermining the
foundations of the nation.

Longears did not give up looking.

beach was covered with large and
small pieces of beautiful red coral.

bad manners and a woeful lack of con-
sideration for others-to say nothing of
disregarding the dignity of the ballot.

Capt. Whitehurst Praises
Plan for Coordination to
Minimize Repair Work.

Capt Herbert C. Whitehurst, CO.
ordinator and chief engineer OF the
engineering department of the District
OF Columbia, last night told the Burlelth
Citizens Association at Gordon Junior
High School he was encouraged with
results of the first year of the co-ordi-
nation program for Subsurface and sur
face work on the city streets, and looked
for even greater improvement"
Explaining the system by which all
subSurface work by the District depart
ments and the public utility companies
Is carried forward, he said the simple
principle under which it operated was
TO make sure everything is under
ground before the roof is put on" This,
he said, had greatly reduced the number
OF cuts in new pavement. The public
utilities, he said, were cooperating
with us 100 per cent" but, he appealed
for better support from property own
erS.
The association approved a resolu-
ton from the Forest Hills Citizens As
ISOLATION asking for appropriations to
place matrons i'll the elementary schools
of the District.
The matter of candidate for the
Citizens Advisory Council was referred
to the associations delegates to the fed

president of the association.
