And so realistic an individual as Sec
retary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes

that he believes philately promotes prog

by the unchallenged fact that repre-
sentativeS of more than forty different
nations, official agents of fifteen govern
ments and multitude of plain people
men, women and children of every race,
creed and class-are cooperating toward
the success Of the present exposition.
These folk meet on a common level.
simply as devotees Of game democratic,
educational, profitable and pleasant to
play. Good fellowship is both a cause
and an effect in the circumstances, and
any such value, however created or
maintained in planet full of trouble,
is something to rejoice about.

Valley Of the Shadow while millions
prayed for her recovery: then. with
health still impaired, resumed her labors.
Twenty hours of duty was her quota of
toll each day; ten thousand patients
were under her care on single calendar
date. Her sole amusement" was a pas
sionate slashing of "red tape" Out of
chaos she created the modern scientific
pattern for the service of the sick and
injured.
In July, 1856, the tide of conflict swept
her back to England. The British evac-
uated Turkey. A man-of war was sent
to convey her and a national festival
was arranged to express her country's
gratitude. But "the greatest nurse that
ever lived" would not cooperate. Glory,
in her judgment, was nuisance. She
quietly embarked on a French vessel,
landed surreptitiously at an unknown
port and went into retirement in Hamp-
shire. The public storned for a glimpse
of her or word from her-in vain. She
was too reticent to respond. A fund OF
fifty thousand pounds raised by the
people she gave to found a nursing
school. In 1907 King Edward VII sent
her the Order of Merit. Three years
later, aged ninety, she went to higher
reward. But she left her example to
inspire thousands Of other girls and
women devoted to the healing art.
Such is the immortality of Florence
Nightingale-a soul too gentle, kind and
brave to care about notoriety. The les
son Of her life. it seems, might have the
attention of some of those who today an
nounce their allegiance to the welfare
Of society.

Trade With France.


turmoil incidental to the crushing of
Ethiopia Secretary Hull pursues the
even tenor of his way in the field of
economic conciliation. Following his
recent reminder before the Chamber of
Commerce Of the United States that in
unrestrained trade rivalry turks the en-
during danger of world conflict, the Sec
retary of State has joined with M. Andre
de Laboulaye. French Ambassador at
Washington, in signing Franco-Ameri-
can reciprocal tariff agreement. 1t is
the thirteenth pact consummated under
authority conferred by Congress in 1884
and the fifth with a European country.
The arrangement with France will come
| into effect June IS, remain in force until
July, 1887, and continue indefinitely
thereafter, subject to termination by
either country on six months notice.
American trade with France is larger
than that with any other nation with
which similar agreements have been
concluded except Canada. The French
rank fifth among foreign buyers of our
products and ninth as a source of
American imports. During the last pre-
depression year, 1929, Uncle Sam sold
France $265, ,591 1896 worth of goods. The
volume was cut by 1884 to Sis, ,706 656.
while American imports from France
shrank in the same period from $l7l,-
485,1 to $57326.673.
Negotiation of a comprehensive re-
ciprocal agreement with France was
fraught with extraordinary difficulties
because of that governments system of
quotas and other restrictions on imports.
The Hull-Laboulaye pact provides widely
improved opportunities for expansion of
trade in products of special Importance
to each country. 1t will enable the COM
mercial interests concerned to develop
these opportunities without fear of sud-
den and unforeseen changes to which
they are exposed in the absence of such
an agreement. In addition to tariff con-
cessions and quota increases by France
and tariff concessions by the United
States on carefully selected categories of
products, the agreement guarantees to
each country substantial most-favored-
nation treatment. It is a truly mutual
deal.
Details of the agreement will be pub
lished next week. They are expected to
reveal valuable duty concessions to
American agricultural and industrial
products in exchange for duty advan-
tages for French wines, laces, silks, cos
metics and other "luxuries." From vari-
Gus quarters in both countries, which
may feel that their particular oxen have
been gored, outcries of unfair discrim-
ination against this or that commodity
or industry are not unlikely. But reci-
procity means give and take. There is
every reason to expect that the net,
long range effects of the reciprocal tariff
program, of which the French agree
ment is an exemplar, will rebound to
the lasting benefit of American trade,
besides playing constructive part in
laying more solidly the foundations of
international goodwill.

Teacher Disagrees With
Opinion on Home Work
To the Editor of The Star:

TO the EDITOR OF The Star:
Elimination of home work for pupils
in the Anacostia Junior Senior High
School is attracting an unusual amount
of attention for all concerned. The
experiment will probably be declared O
Success-by those who have initiated it..
This is further step in the direction
that the school is entirely responsible to
society for the education of all children
and not the home. The best part of
any individuals education is that which
he gives to himself.
Your editorial has freely criticized the
abuse of the home work assignment by
teachers. 1t has also accused teachers
OF evading their responsibilities or fail
ing to coordinate their assignments
This seems to be rather contrary to the
general impression that the school
teacher Of America has been, by and
large, the one individual who has ac-
cepted his responsibility to society.
If the teachers home work assign
ments are poorly co-ordinated and if
teachers have evaded responsibility it
would seem very unwiSe to intrust the
entire educational responsibility to them.
After IA years of continuous teaching
and observation in high schools am
unwilling to subscribe to your statement
that home work is abused to such an
extent that it should be abolished. I
am also unalterably at variance to the
idea that pupils cannot profit by unsu-
pervised study Neither am certain
that parents are unable to instruct
pupils in elementary and high school
subject matter prof1tably. Equal educa-
tional opportunities will not be provided
by supervised study. The inevitable re-
suit will be education to a COM bon level
of mediocrtty. 3. WILLARD DHsS1AZO,

Correct This Mistake!

In its forthcoming consideration of the
deficiency bill, just reported from the
Appropriations Committee, the House
should surely correct what seems to have
been palpable error, doubtless result
ing from misunderstanding of the nature
and use of funds for the District Alley
Dwelling Authority. If this error is not
corrected, the Authority will go out of
business at the end of the fiscal year.
Work already completed will be left
without maintenance or administrative
funds; work in the process of being COM
pleted will be left high and dry and
work for which contracts have been
made will be abandoned.
Certainly the Appropriations Com
inittee, in denying the Authority addi-
tional funds, did not intend to deny it
the use of the unexpended balances of
its previously appropriated revolving
fund. Yet, by failing to reappropriate
such funds, that is the result.
The first duty of the House is to cor
rect this error. After all these years of
effort toward progressive elimination of
Washington's alleys. it is almost un-
thinkable that the House will drop the
matter cold, waste the money already
spent, scrap the plan and principle of
the Alley Dwelling Authority, which
represents the most successful attack
yet launched on the blighted alley areas
of Washington.
After that error has been corrected,
more sympathetic consideration should
be given to the Authority's request for
additional funds-a request which won
Budget Bureau approval. When the
original Alley Authority act was under
consideration, it was at first decided to
make available revolving fund OF
$3,0OO,00O to be used until June 80, 1914.
But as finally drafted, the bill appro-
priated an original $500,000, the under
standing being that additional amounts
would be appropriated until the sum of
SO 100000 was reached. The revolving
fund idea would make expenditures on
the alleys self-liquidating. All the
money, in other words, would be repaid
eventually with interest. The Govern
ment was to make an investment in
alley elimination in the Capital, with
the returns, in addition to repayment
of capital with interest, represented in
better housing and the wiping out of
some sorely infected spots in the city.
Commendable progress, even with the
small funds at hand, has already been
made. The work is necessarily slow.
The act itself recognized the long drawn
out process of alley elimination, by con-
version to other uses or by the construc-
tion of model housing by fixing the life
of the Authority for ten years. The
Authority has reached the point where
its funds have been wisely invested or
obligated, and additional money is neces-
Bary to carry on the work.
Such funds unquestionably should be
provided. There is no sense in wasting
half million or more dollars, already
obligated or spent, in order to save
100000. There is lot of sense in in
yesting the proposed $3,0O0,000, with the
prospect that the money will be re-
turned with interest and long-standing
evil in Washington eliminated.

Reticence.

Every now and again something hap
pens to give ordinary men and women
q sense Of pride in being members of the
human race. For example, at Florence
in italy on May IL. 1920, there was born
q child for whom fame had in store her
brightest laurels, but to whom celebrity
was an aggravation. The child grew up
in beautiful Derbyshire, her mind curl
ously struggling with a problem entirely
outside her natural realm of interest.
At twenty -four she dedicated herself to
the relief Of physical and mental suffer-
ing, which, providentially, she herself
never had experienced. Two Sisters of
st. Vincent de Paul taught her the ele-
ments of the science Of nursing. Later
she studied in Germany and France and
in the great hospitals Of Edinburgh and
London. BY 1853 she was in charge of
home for invalids.
Then Europe rocked with the roar Of
guns in the Crimea. At Scutari sick
and wounded soldiers languished under
conditions described in an official report
as "abominable." The story is told in
Longfellow's "Filomena." But the drama
Of the chronicle needs no verse for its
adornment-it may be summarized in
the simple statement that the death rate
in the army barracks in February, 1855,
was forty-two per cent and in June of
the same year only one-twenty first of
that figure. Queen Victoria, praising the
organizing genius of the ministering
angel, remarked: such a head! I wish
we had her at the War Offce!"
Meanwhile, the Lady with Lamp had

Cites John Marshall on
Supreme Court Review

To the Editor Of The Star:
Mr.. Alexander Sidney Lanier, appar-
emily an authority on the subject, con-
graduates Senator Candidate Borah on
joining the "reversaists." In 1923 he
was in favor of limiting, to a certain
extent, the present powers Of the Su-
preme Court. But now he has reversed
himself in favor of the court, as is, hide
and hair and horns.
Still everything in this world is subject
to change, to correction and amendment.
Our Supreme Bench should not prove
an exception to the rule. In fact, more
than 130 years ago. when the child was
very little. no less a person than the
father himself, the great Chief Justice
Marshall, was in favor of curbing the
infants growth. At least SO l note in
the November, 1885, issue of the Ameri-
can Mercury there is an article on THE
Supreme Court" Thy I. H. Oppenheim). /.
Therein a letter by MIR. Marshall to
Justice Samuel Chase is quoted. In that
letter the opinion is advanced that "un-
popular decisions of the Supreme Court
might be appealed to higher tribunal.
same to be composed of members OF
Congress" This, no doubt would mean
Senators, because it is the Senate which
confirms the appointment OF the Judges.
In any case, it ought to make Congress
feel good. Nothing came of the sug-
gestion. Nor did Theodore Roosevelt's
recall Of judicial decisions" meet with
any serious response.
Abraham Lincoln is also among those
who at one time of other found fault
with the court. In attacking the Dred
Scott decision he accused the bench Of
"perverting the Constitution" He also
stated, on the stump, that as Con-
gresham he would vote to re-enact q
law that had been declared unconSti-
tutional
AS far as I remember, in the late
Supreme Court shindy, when most every
political herpetologist- doctor to

attention to the Marshall letter. Every
body wanted to bell the cat, but no one
knew exactly how. FRED VETTER.

Mans Destiny.

Youth sets out with a swift heart. son.
Age will temper its beat.
Youth ruShes on at reckless pace:
Slow move maturer feet.
And you'll learn, my son, whate'er your
fate,
That life often bids you stand and wait.
Hot-headed youth throws open lifeR

Age goes cautiously through. 3
Youth sees a clear, straight road ahead;
But the road may run askew.
Yet, soon, however your path may wend,
Through youth and age you must reach
its end. --
