BALL0U LEADS
BUSY LIFE

Folks who have the impression
that the Superintendent Of
Schools, Dr. Frank w. Ballou and
his assistants just sit behind their
desks and watch the clerks do
the work don't know the half of it.
When DR.. Ballou isn't attend.
ing monthly dinners (Which he
pays for) or luncheons, he's ad.
dressing members of civic organ
izations, Parent-Teachers Associa-
tions and patriotic bodies.
Often he has to sit and listen
to some speaker, who, as one
school official delicately put it.:
was unfortunate in his choice of
subject" and try not to yawn.
He hasn't said so, but it's ten
to one the good doctor, a most ge-
nial soul, would give a months
pay just to put on pair of Slip
perS, and smoking jacket and,
pipe in mouth, read a novel.
He never gets the chance. If
he reads-and he does-he must
peruse school documents, school
pamphlets, congressional measures
concerning the schools, the school
budget and reports from his as
sistants.
He belongs to many clubs. Here
are some of them:
The Federal School Mems Club,
the Torch Club, the Monday Eve
ming Club and the Rotary Club.
He is a member of the department
of superintendentS of the National
Education Association; is a trus-
tee of the Community Chest and
attends most of its meetings; be-
longs to the Vocational Guidance
Association and to the Board Of
Trade and is a trustee and mod.
orator of his church.
He attends hearings at the Dis
trict Building and tries to per
Suade the Commissioners to give
him more money for badly-needed
schools.
He goes out Of town occasionally
but not for a vacation. He at
tends educators conventions in va
rious sections of the country either
as listener-in or speaker While
en- route he works on unfinished
business or makes out reports for
the bi-monthly meetings Of the
Board of Education.
At least two afternoons a week
are taken up with teachers and
principals meetings, committee
meetings of all types connected
with the schools and meetings of
his assistants and supervising
principals.

NICE IS CALLED
TO TESTIFY IN
CAREY ROW

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. IL.
Governor Harry w. Nice today
was called before the Maryland
State senate, sitting as commit
tee of the whole, to answer under
oath questions pertaining to
charges of favoritiSm and strife
in the police department.
The resolution, adopted unani-
mously, was offered by Senator
John D. Duncan CD of Baltimore
county, and supported by Major
ity Floore Leader j. Allan Coad
CD of st. Marys.
Besides the governor, the reSo-
luton called for the appearance
of Major Enoch B. Carey, recently
deposed head of the department,
and Mrs. Marie BauernSchmidt,
of Baltimore, who hurled the
charges last night in a radio
broadcast from Baltimore.
"POliticS" Charged
Duncan's resolution said that the
resultant criticism and rumors of
favoritism and strife would mate
rally damage the esprit de corps
of the department and cause the
public to lose confidence in it.
Wednesday afternoon of next
week has tentatively been set as
the date for the investigation.
Mrs. BauernSchmidt accused the
Governor of playing politics with
Carey and of removing him as
police head as the result of activi-
ties against Carey by Sergt. Me
nash Katz, member of the force
assigned to duty as an aide to the
Governor.
Yesterday the senate heard
Carey eulogized by Senator Ridge
ly P. Melvin and Immediately
afterwards confirmed the appoint
ment of Lieut.. Col. Elmer F. Nun
shower, of Frederick, as the new
superintendent to succeed Carey.
Carey has remained silent re.
garding the rumorS and charges
against him. But it was limited
by Melvin chat the former super.
intendent could show that he had
Gated on orders from Governor
Nice in all the instances where
he had been criticized.

12.-Infractions of the county
liquor laws resulted in the revo-
cation of one beer license and
the two-week suspension Of an
other by the Prince Georges
County Board of Liquor License
Commissioners here yesterday.
The "on sale" beer license Of
Lawrence F. Blundon, manager of
the Black and White Inn on the

disclosed that the establishment
was owned jointly by three per
sons when the license had been
issued to a single person.
The license issued to George K.
Phipps, Allies Inn, Oakland, Md,
was suspended until March 4 be-
cause of the failure of the owner

YE ARE becoming a nation Of
buck-passers. The rugged
individualism OF which We

y
when men and women accepted the re-
| sponsibility for their acts and felt that
| 1t was up to them themselves to make
something out OF their own lives, has
practically become a thing OF the past.
We don't even try to stand on our
| own feet any more. Everybody leans
on somebody else until We finally mop
down on the Government. The ma
tional motto has become: Let George
Do it,
In especial has buck-passing de-
veloped into the favorite family indoor
sport, and II you don't believe this
consider some Of the manifestations Of
1t with which We have become 30
familiar that we have almost ceased
to notice them. Take marriage, for
instance. In the effete past, q man
did not think that he had 4 right to
marry until he was able to support q
family. but that small detail does not
bother the youth OF today to any
considerable extent when . couple
OF callow school children decide that
they cannot live without each other.
The mere fact that the boy is jobless
and penniless does not deter them
from clipping. They just pass the
buck to their parents and let poor
old father and mother work s little
harder and sacrifice = few more
comforts to feed them and their
progeny.
- -
A LsO. in the past when people
married for keeps, and when d.
vorce was considered = disgrace, hus-
bands and wives recognized their in
dividual responsibility to each other.
They knew that how . marriage turns
out isn't luck. It Is how much 4 man
and woman are willing to put into 1t,
how much work they are willing to do,
how many sacrifices they are willing
to make. And II the marriage failed
they knew that they had failed.
But now when . marriage goes On
the rocks We never hear either the
husband or wife blame himself or her-
self for the disaster. They don't even
admit that they were guilty Of con-
tributory negligence. Each passes the
buck to the other. The husband
doesn't say that he was grouchy and
hard to live with, or that he was
tyrannical and stingy. or . philan-
derer. He says that his wife was q
nagger, or she got fat, or that she
bored him. The wife doesn't sey that
she was selfish, or = bad housekeeper,

or that she got 50 ABSORBED IN the chill
dren she forgot she had q husband.
She says that he took her for granted,
or didn't understand her.
In every divorce case the husband
blames the wife for not making him
happy, and the wife blames the hus-
band for not making her happy, and
neither one blames himself or herself.
Passing the buck has justified them to
their own consciences.
FORMER times people who had
children thought 1t was their duty
to rear them themselves and to teach
them good morals and manners and
the principles of right living. Chill
dren were disciplined in the home.
High ideals were instilled into them,
Parents tried their best to light the
nres OF ambition In their children's
souls and to rear them to be ladies
and gentlemen.
But now the great majority Of nar.
ents just pass the buck Of rearing
their children to the teachers and
schools. They expect some poor, hard
worked teacher who has to deal with
40 other little ill-reared hoodlums to
teach their children the things they
should have learned at their mothers
knees. Nothing is more common than
TO hear woman say: "Oh, I know
Johnny Is spoiled to death. He never
obeys and he has no manners, but
his teacher will correct all Of that
when he goes to school"
