Roosevelt's Railroad Speech

Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Demo-
cratic nominee ror P-esilen- made his
hid Saturday night for the support OF
the great mass CT citizens who are
CLOSELY bound up with the success OF
the rcaoroad system of the country
FL told his hearers that he WlShed 10

road security holders ard the general
public, and he outlined program whlch
has many points of merit. He did not
tell his hearers that President Hoover
already has proposed and, indeed, put
into effect. some of the things which
he Roosevelt, said he would do If he
we're elected President. But why should
he, in the heat of the campaign?
However. Gov. Roosevelt left an open

have Immediately seized upon to sno"

In his railroad speech, delivered at
Salt Lake City, the Democratic noml-

Gov. Roosevelt has at last dlscoV-
cred that loans by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to the railroads CO

desire to class himself as another Will
liam Jennings Bryan, remembering the
fate that overlook the late Col. Bryan
in his various campaigns for the presl-
dental election. His railroad speech
in Salt Lake City was by no means rad
ical. 1t did not family suggest the
issue of public ownership and operation
of the transportation systems of the
country, an issue which Col. Bryan
boldly advanced at one time, only to
find that it did not register with the
voters.
There was nothing particularly new
in the Roosevelt railroad speech, al
though there was much that was good
in it. But 1t revealed Gov. Roosevelt
not as a radical but rather as a con-
servative. The people of the country
may be a little bewildered, may wonder
what, after all, they are to expect from
him If he becomes President.

A Record School Enrolment.

The record enrolment In Washing
tons schools, anticipated on this open
ing of the Fall term today, owes itself
largely to the depression. Last year the
normal annual increase in enrolment
of about 5000 was increased by ap-
proximately 700, and this Fall the In
crease over normal will be still greater.
As In other communities, some children
are going to school because there are no
Jobs for them. Another cause OF the
increase, however, Is found In the in
ability of many parents longer to con-
tinue sending their children to private
schools. The school authorities say the
number of such children Is large.
Fortunately, school equipment in
BUILDINGS and class rooms is better than
usual, although there will be some acute
cases of congestion, as at Western High
and in the colored schools OF central
Washington. But the economy bill has
presented a problem of no small pro-
portions as regards the ability OF the
teachers to handle the larger enroll
ment. Teacher vacancies cannot be
filled unless the demand can be Demon
strated by school officials to the salts
faction of the District authorities, who
must, In turn, convince the Budget Bu-
reau. which must, in turn, convince the
President of the United States. And
during the Summer the certification OF
permission to fill vacancies has by no
means been a perfunctory affair as far
as the White House is concerned. Every
teacher appointed to a vacancy in the
public schools this year may be proud
of the distinction of having been found
necessary by the President of the
United States.
As Assistant Supt Kramer told one of
the teachers the other day, the filling Of
vacancies during the school year is not
to be construed as a matter of routine.
A request for teacher must be ade-
quately defended" Highly taxed Wash
iEgtonians, who have received no bene-
fit from the stringent economies ef-
fected in the schools, will, Of course.

Back to School.

Young Washington today resumed the
business of being educated. Willingly
or unwillingly, the boys and girls of the
District responded to the first roll call
of the season, and tardily or speedily,
according to individual temperament,
discipline of classroom and curriculum
| The children had had long and meas
urably happy vacation. Doubtless many
were CAD to get back to work
The occasion calls for no preachment
to the youth OF the city. But 1t does
have certain significance for parents
and for adults in general. 1t may not be
commonly realized, but 1t is true that
the education of children results in two
varieties of social pressure upon their
seniors. In the first place, there is
the immediate cost of school buildings
and maintenance and of school per-
sCnnel, charge which the adult por-
ton of the population necessarily pays.
In the second, there is the aggravated
! competition for employment which the
increasingly thorough and comprehen-
sive education of youth implies. The
wage earners of the land, whether
parents or not, pay for the schooling
! of the children, and the children,
emerging from school equipped with
the best training to be had and with
ambition stimulated to the highest de-
gree by that training, compete with
their benefactors in the ordinary labor
market and, especially. in the profess
sional field. Thus, school advantages
Capitalize youth and penalize maturity.
OF course, it always has been so.
Well-equipped young people in every
period of history have matched their
talents with the capabilities Of their
seniors. That is a law of life. against
which it is useless as well as uncharita-
BILE to complain. But in the present day
the problem has been rendered more
acute than ever it was before by the
efficiency of the cultural system which
modern society has erected and en-
dowed in behalf of its heirs.
There is but one corrective for the
difficulty. 1t is that of adult education
Psychologists say that mature minds
learn just as readily as immature MINDS
that the greater experience and power
of discrimination of adults give them a
valuable background for their efforts,
and that because of their more highly
developed sense of caution they are less
apt to make false starts and expensive
! changes in their studies. Education is
a lifelong business All the social
philosophers, past and present, agree in
so believing. In the face of the militant
rivalry of young men and women the
oldsters in every department Of COM
petitive endeavor must balance the
scale by improving their own technique
They cannot be content to stand aside
+, from the cultural progress of which the
youngsters are the earliest beneflciar.eS
So the first days of the Autumn bring
summons back to school to all the
population, not merely to that division
of it to which educational opportunities
come unsought and perhaps unappreci-
ated Education is the armor of organ
lied knowledge against the natural ene-
mics of human happiness, and every
body ought to have its protection, be the
cost what it may.

Britain and Arms Equality.

In statement which smacks of the
trained legalistic hand and mind OF
Foreign Secretary Sir John Simon, the
British government rejects the German
demand for arms equality by way of
a unilateral increase in the Reich's mill
tary establishment. Britain recognizes
the moral need for readjustment OF
armaments, as between those possessed
by the powers that conquered Germany
and those permitted to the vanquiShed
state by the treaty of Versailles. His
majestys government comedies that the
limitation imposed upon Germany was
intended to be. and announced to be,
the precursor of general limitation by
Others" Then speaks the lawyer OF
Downing Street: But desirable con-
summation cannot be obtaiced by per-
emptory challenge or Withdrawal i-om
the disarmament deliberations about to
be resumed at Geneva 1t can only be
reached by patient discussion through
the medium of conference between the
states concerned.
The Germans are hidden, in short, to
hold their horses and not seek to obtain
a square deal in armaments by riding
roughshod over existing treaties.
Great Britain does not content itself
with mere counsels of patience and re-
straint. 1t offers a concrete program
aimed at ultimate appeasement OF Ger
manys claims. To that end, Sir John
Simon suggests a new convention to be
concluded by the sixty-four countries,
including the United States, which have
been comforting at Geneva. The object
of this convention would be ''in the case
of more heavily armed powers the larg-
est possible reduction, and in the case OF
lightly armed powers like Germany,
at any rate no material increase"
Thereupon the barrister statesman OF
the British foreign Office projects an in
genious formula whereby Germany's in
sistence upon arms self-determination
might be gratified. The new conven-
ton would contain the principle that
leach state adopts for itself, in agree
ment with Others limitation which IS
self-imposed and freely entered into. as
part of mutual obligations of the sigma
tories to one another" Britains thesis
is that there would thus be mo dis
tinction of status. because every ones
ornaments would be controlled by the
same process"

ma be expected to stick in this pretty

Bicentennial Planning Conference.
1t is fitting and proper that special
week of the Bicentennial year be set
aside to emphasize the Importance of
planning parks and government. The
Bicentennial Conference on Planning,
sion in Washington.
Here Is the first city actually planned
before it was built It's basic street
and park systems were conceived and
laid out before any construction was
started. From the time OF Its begin
ming, park development with wide
streets and generous park areas, has
set a standard for others to copy in
the line Of city development. The
Mall, or central area of Washington,
its squares and parks set aside as green
spots, are the backbone of the city
planned by George Washington with
the aid of L'Enfant and Jefferson.
A week of inspection of this park
system and the more newly developed
regional park system of the outer area
and of discussion Of park and plan
ming subjects by the members of the
eight participating organizations whose
fundamental aims and interests con-
verge in the general civic field will
inevitably advance the cause of plan
ming and general park development by
emphasizing the value of planning and
park standards and ideals.
Especially are the groups meeting
here representative of expert knowledge
in their allied fields. The American
City Planning Institute brings to
washington the professional planners
of the country: the American Civic As
sociation, active lay and professional
supporters of physical improvement of
,, every nature; the American Institute of

tives who are engaged daily in solving

velopment; the American Legislators
