Miss Cauthen
Returns Here

This younger generation has
become more and more "sky
conscious" of late. Silver,
Streamlined planes zooming
through the clouds have proved
irresistible. The latest to take
up this thrilling pastime is Flor
ence Ward Cauthen. niece of
Mrs. Dorothy Lee Ward, who
will present her to society this
season.
Mrs. Ward and her niece re-
turned Monday night from a so.
Journ in Florida. While in
Jacksonville, Florence was initi-
ated into the mysteries of flying.
However, she has not taken it
up quite as seriously as has Miss
Torrence Thornton, who Flor
ence visited while in Jackson
vile. Torrence, who was stu
Gent at Holton Arms last year,
expects to obtain her pilots IL
cense before coming to the
capital for Christmas visit.
When Mrs. Ward and her
niece left Washington several
weeks ago en- route to Florida,
they stopped in Atlanta, Ga, for
a visit with Florence's mother,
Mrs. Charles Burge Cauthen.

Resigned from Corps

His marriage to Mrs.
Noyes, the former wife of
Mr.. Newbold Noyes, who is
now married to Mrs. George
Barnett's daughter, took
place in Paris, where Mr..
Stone was then the Attache
of the Canadian Legation.
Subsequently he resigned
from the diplomatic service,
returned to America and be-
came interested in his South
ern plantation.
During his recent trip to
Europe with Mrs. Stone he
spent some time in Moscow,
from where he sent a most
interesting letter to his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer
Stone, whose home is in Chat
ham, Ontario. He told Of
meeting with Walter Du-
ranty, noted correspondent
and author, who has made
frequent visits to Washing
ton, and he says Guaranty
knows Russia better than al
most any other foreigner, I
expect. He has been here
since 1921, and he is a great
talker. We dined with him
one night, and yesterday at
4 o'clock he came to our
rooms and talked splendidly
for three hours. It is very
much more interesting hear
ing about Russia in Russia,
and he has told us lots.'
To continue-"Last night we
went to see ballet at the opera
house, and I am now persuaded
that I have never seen ballet be-
fore in my life. All critics say,
of course, that this and the dra-
matte theater are better here in
Moscow than anywhere else in
the world. AS far as the ballet
is concerned, the only thing that
I would not have believed was
how much better! It was the
only beautiful thing, without ex-
ception, that I have ever seen
on the stage. 1t was certainly
the first time in my life that
ballet has held me spellbound."
VISIT IN BRUSSELS
I'VE have been this afternoon
to see some picture galleries.

of art. The Ikons are really

"This evening we are going to

ers, where there is music. We
shall possibly go to a theater
first. We leave Moscow on the
18th, arriving in Vienna on the
18th. We plan two days there
and then to Paris, before sail
ing for home early in Novem-

ARE THE SCHOOLS
BEING COHMERCTALTZED?

Educators here and elsewhere rapidly
are nearing the point where they must
decide what is oblectional propaganda
in the schools, and what is admissible as
supplemental instruction. Child appeal
is a direct route to sales for many CON-
mercial firms-a fact which has brought
the educators face to face with a Sc
rious problem.
Recent years have developed many
promotion stunts whereby various COM
mercial organizations, through mediums
Of real or fancied educational character,
place their products before the school
children. The ideas are taken home by
the children-and that is where the pro-
paganda is effective.
For instance: A moving picture is un-
reeled in the schools, showing how milk
is handled From Dairy Cow to Consul
mer home" (Of course, the milk shown
is Blanks Brandy A vaudeville troupe
dances before the school children in as
sembly Their dance is that of early
American Indians, and therefore educa-
tional. (Of course, again, the troupe is
named after well-known make of auto
mobile.)
Without question, there is educational
value Nothing in life is without educa-
tional value, because everything in life
goes to make up life, and a knowledge
of it helps to make a more cheerful life.
Without question, too, these exhibitions
have a decided commercial value to the
sponsoring firms.
There must be some sort of line be-
tween the too obviously commercial and
the desirable educational values. II the
present trend is to be carried to the
ultimate, if teachers are to advertise
milk, automobiles, moving pictures,
shows, or newspaper articles OF eouca-
tional value, they are obligated IN all
fairness to advertise every important
article in every important magazine IN
the country, just to avoid playing Ia
vorites The school, thus, becomes a CEN
soring body to determine everything
child should know, to select every
worthy item or article or bit of merchan-
disc on the market.
Another danger exists IN the eXten-
sion of school publications INTO the eie,
mentary grades. Obviously, no one Will
argue against the use of school builetlns
tn stimulate good writing and awaken
interest between groups. The dlVldlng
line is approached when the children
are sent out into the field of commerce,
soliciting advertising to defray the cost
of the publication.
If is. in effect, saying: well publlclZe
YOU through our school children II you II

The school is a public institution, its
snnnIies are bought by the public, its

Some have had college edueations; others nave
not Some who have, got Through college out
COLLEGE didn't get through them. Some who nave
not have all the natural graces and refinements
of true ladies and gentlemen Some Of us wear
nice looking clothes occasionally, and some oi
us wear oyeralls and pretty S295 dresses. Most
OF US try to pay our bills promptly, and those
who don't ought TO try harder Some OF us faIm
for a living; some of US run stores and business
houses in what the California laws CLASSIFY as
"city Of the sixth class
There is an interdependence which should
never be overlooked nor ignored by occasional
strutting We will build our community faster
when we get on a common foundation AS
rule that proper relationship is exemphfied mere
when there is a funeral. Most all Of us go and

night but forever thereafter. Jlsa remember that
Livingston progressed in its building years be-
