New Buildings for Zoo
But None for Schools
To he Editor Of The Star:

To ne Editor Of The Star:
Some years ago q very witty and
charming lady, Mrs. Leila Pier King.
at the time secretary of the Ben w.
Murch Home and School Association
tknown as the Grant Road Portables
section OF the Z. V. Brown SCHOOL,
wrote your paper letter of inquiry as
TO why it was necessary to send Mr..
hairs, the District architect, abroad
TO study suitable types of homes for
the snakes at the National Geological
Park. She wanted to know why the
OLD house was not good enough for
them when there were no funds avail
able Tor new schools and the children
OF Washington were shivering in
drafty portable school buildings which
would have been q disgrace to the
eighteenth century.
Last night this letter of Mis- Kings
came TO my mind when / saw In The
Star the following news items:
School and welfare items slashed
$6l3.168."
Six hundred and eighty thousa nd
dollars granted for Zoo buildings. P.
w. A. sllots funds for relief of crowded
animal quarters"
Now, have always been q lover Of
animals: nv children bring home
every stray they find; we feed the
birds and squirrels as matter of
course throughout the Winters: but
really, the present Zoo buildings are
palatial compared with some of our
older schools. 1 am quite sure that
The children of the Grant School, for
instance. would be very glad TO ex-
change quarters, especially with the
snakes. Besides being warm, without
danger of aSphyxiation. they would
certainly receive liberal education in
the arts from the P. w. A. decorations.
1t will be impossible to even use the
Woodrow Wilson High School unless
something Is done to the grounds. 1t
stands among masses of red clay and
most of the time the grounds are a
regular quagmire. We have been fight
ing for years to get the parts OF the
Reno section used for schools at least
made slightly and paSSable.
T quite understand that the mem
bers of the subcommittee on sppro-
priations for the District Of Columbia
did not make this grant TO the Zoo,
but it certainly shows that Mr.. 1ckes
manifests more interest in mountain
goats and sheep than is shown in the
children of Washington by those di-
rectly responsible for their welfare.
1t might be q good scheme to turn
the schools over to Mr.. ICkes; we could
at least expect from him the same
consideration for our children that he
is showing toward our dumb friends,
and when he Is planning separate
suites and twin beds for all the birds
of the air and beasts of the field. I
as sure he could find some old unoc-
cupied animal house for those OF our
children who are still dependent on
portable schools and antiquated build
ings.

SHOOTING STARS.

Campus Patter.

Campus Patter.
The college lad is not 80 bad,
His praises must be sung.
He strives to make us ever glad,
SO wise, and yet 80 young.
His phrase is frequently a freak
Which brings us wondrous glee.
No matter what we chance TO seek
With much advice he's free.
OF homicide he'll write with care
Or diplomatic fame,
And all Of 1t, we must declare,
Sounds like foot ball game.

left their son Stephen behind: also of
how Stephen met Margaret, and of
the time they passed together. The
two stories meet and separate, are
curiously intertwined, and the reader
is left to explain for himself the whole
mystery Of Jake Whitestone's prisoner
in North Eabury Jail. A very delicate
piece Of work. It is perhaps too subtle
for the casual reader.

Jake Whitestone's house in North
Eabury sheltered his blacksmith shop
and the town jail, identiflable by the
barred windows Of the rear wing.
Prisoners were rare, so when John
Bole came for 10 days and laughed
when he was locked in, Jake was in
terested in him. He was more inter-
ested when Bole told him where to
find his lost keys, and vaguely dis
turbed by the way Bole looked at him
with his wonderful eyes," Perhaps
the eyes were responsible for the fact
that Jake's daughter Madse offered to
let him cut of the jail, favor which
he refused. On her return to her
room Maoge met her mother, on her
way to let the prisoner out. When
Bole left the Jail Madge followed him.
His charm was mysterious. He was
almost q Pied Piper. The story OF
Bole and Madge is suspended while
