ings, and would Go anything with
in reaSon-but the ironclad rules
at Washington administered by
PWA Administrator Ickes-under
the watchful glance of the White
House-make it impossible for
Pennsylvania to get that money.
1t is said to be brand new eX-
perience for the keystone State.
Deserving Of Reward
Reports have it that as soon as
the President comes back to wash
ington from Warm Springs, Sen
ator Guffey is going to try to
break down the restrictions around
this potential PWA loan to his
State. In Pennsylvania Senator
Guffey is looked on as much
larger than the dome Of the cap
itol at Harrisburg; the man who
snatched Pennsylvania from the
Republican column where 1t had
been for so years.
Such things to the average
Democrat in Pennsylvania are de-
serving of a reward-20 million
dollars PWA reward, at least.
Then, too, Senator Guffey is
looked on by his friends as the
next head of the Democratic ma
tional committee-to wear the
shoes Postmaster General Farley
might be expected to relinquish
one of these days.
Such things are rated high in
Pennsylvania. Up there they ap-
parently expect Senator Guffey
to 60 to the White House and get
that 20 million dollars. If Senator
Guffey can get it, then every other
Senator and every other State
chairman will be down here as
fast as the planes can fly to get
their quota of untitled PWA money
as we'll =. Among them would be
Maryland and Delaware where
nearly three million dollars could
be used right now.
Despite the fact that since PWA
started four years ago there has
been expended in the Maryland
and Delaware area 100 million dol
lars of PWA money, there are
still incomplete projects.

GUFFEY TO ASK
PWA FAV0RS
FOR STATE
BY EARL GOODWIN

Rumors that the Public Works
Administration is about to be
completely stalled because there
can be found few If any skilled
workmen on the relief rolls are
accompanied by the tale from
Pennsylvania that Senator Joseph
Guffey CD, Of the New Deal
strong boys, is going to risk his
reputation as a political giant
and ask "the White House" for
special Keystone State favors in
the way of public works money
although Pennsylvania can't pos
sibly comply with PWA require
ments in the way Of unemployed
skilled workmen to build the build
ings Pennsylvania wants to build.
The situation is most distress
ing to the old-time politician as
we'll as to the New Deal states
men. PWA money which ran
wild for months and was used to
erect public buildings, schools, hos
pitals, power plants, ETC., was in
almost every instance granted or
loaned on the basis Of the amount
of work it could furnish to en-
ployables out of jobs.
Few On Relief Rolls
In the depression and until re-
Gently there was little complaint
about not finding skilled buildings
trades workers, ETC., but at the
present moment reports have it
that the skilled craftsmen are all
at work at regular jobs; few OF
them are on relief rolls. So the
relief chiefs here report.
But the general public, includ-
ing the various Representatives
and Senators who like to do
things at Uncle Sans expense
for the old home town or native
States, have never adhered closely
to the idea that PWA money was
for relief; they apparently look
upon it as a grand chance to
build a new post office or add
to the architectural grandeurs OF
their own district or State.
In this respect there is dis
tinct odor of the old-fashioned
pork-barrel Of the Uncle Joe Can
non days.
This attitude on the part Of
the New Deal lawmakers is one
that seriously panied PWA Ad-
ministrator Harold IckeS, who has
stuck meticulously to the letter
and spirit of PWA, and who,
though some times panied by it,
has followed the Presidents di-
rections to the last cent on all
PWA matters.
In the matter of Pennsylvania,
that State was after $4,000, 900
or $40, 100000 for State institu-
tional buildings; the PWA was
to lend or grant this money, with
the idea that it would be spent
on buildings to be erected by
men now on relief rolls.
But apparently in Pennsylvania
there are not on relief enough
skilled craftsmen Of the, build
ing trades even to start some OF
these buildings.
Pennsylvania wants the build

johnson And Coggins Giuen
IS Years In Penitentiary
Terms Cover Thefts from eaboard Cars Here and at
Norlna superior Court Term for June Brought to
Close: Civil M alters Are Heard

Alvin Johnson and Willard Coggins,
involved in breaking into and robbing
freight cars on the Seaboard Air Line
railroad here and at NOrlina, were
given aggregate terms of Is years
each in States Prison by Judge Henry
A. Grady before the final adjourn
ment at noon today of the June term
of Vance Superior Court. Both plead
ed guilty.
They admitted breaking and enter
ing and larceny and receiving OF
goods from freight cars. Judge Grady
disposed of the Norlina charge at the
same time and included penance for
that crime in the terms melted out
here, although the Norlina inciden oc-
CURED in Warren county. 1t was by
agreement of Solicitor Ernest r. Ty-
Ter that he would drop the cases
against the pair in Warrent in con-
sideration of the sentences here.
Five years each was imposed for
breaking into the freight cars and the
additional ten years each was for the
grand larceny aspect of the crime.
This term will begin at the end of the
first.
Thomas Breedlove was convicted of
embezzlement of $321.91 from Hen
derson store of the Great Atlantic &
Pacific Tea Company, but in passing
judgment, Judge Grady set aside the
verdict and allowed the defendant to
plead guilty to forcible trespass, pray
er for judgment being continued on
payment of the costs of the trial and
m a L ino IF
money involved. This was done in
consideration it was stated, of the
fact that Breedlove had not hitherto
been involved in any crime. A provi-
sion of the judgment, however, was
that capias could be issued at any time
in five years and the defendant be
brought up for further punishment
Jack Ford, charged with assaulting
a small child, ran into a deadlocked
jury, which was discharged. Rather
than languish in Jail al summer and
await another trial at the October
term of court, the defendant entered
a plea of fOrcible trespass, and was
given II months on the roads COM
mltment not to issue on good behavior
and on condition that the defendant
appear in court each June for the next
five years and show he is complying
with the judgment.
Ben Kearney, driver of an automo-
bile in collision some weeks ago with
one driven by Fire Chief E. T Shep-
herd on the EPSON highway out from
Henderson,, was given 10 months on
the county roads on a charge of hit
and-run driving, and reckless and
drunken driving.
}. E. Satterwhite, convicted earlier
In the week of operating a disorderly
mouse, had that verdict set aside by

the court, and he was allowed to plead
guilty to lorcible trespass and was
given IS months on the roads judg-
ment to be suspended on good behav-
ior, and payment of the costs, and the
provision was inserted also that ca
pias could be issued at any time in
five years on sufficient cause.
After the criminal term was ad-
journed, with the continuing of mum
Der of cases, but after clearing the Jail
two civil matters were heard before
Judge Grady. In one of these the
Corbitt Company was suing George l..
Goodwin and M. L. Goodwin, of Ra-
leigh, for $3.50 in the matter of the
sale of trucks. 1t was expected the
matter would be settled by agreement
during the afternoon. The Highland
Home Realty Company also sought
proceedings against the City of Hen
derson with reference to the city's
sewage disposal plant near its proper
ty east of the city and some sort of
an agreement in this issue was looked
for during the afternoon.

duty. A new jury will serve at the
October court.

served at the January and March
terms, but who is now ill, W. 3. Hight
was named as assistant foreman and
was in charge of the jury during the

mended the closing of the Johnson
filling station.

1t is gratifying to report this list
OF buildings under construction as
appropriated for in 1887, and the fur
ther buildings appropriated for in the
1888 appropriations act. The school
system is greatly in need of additional
school house accommodations and
congressional committees are becoming
increasingly convinced of the neces-
sity for appropriating larger amount
OF money for buildings and grounds
than has been appropriated for in
previous years. Undoubtedly, the fact
that no legislation had been enacted
by Congress to meet the financial
necessities of the District of Columbia
deferred appropriations committees
from carrying as large budget for
buildings and grounds as might other
wise have been carried. The Board
OF Education has undertaken to meet
this compelling urgency in the larger
budget for buildings and grounds SUBJ
mitted in the estimates for 1899.

Education Board May Adopt

TUo-Paragraph Statement Would Tell
Pupils Progress, but Giue No
Grades as at Present.

The Board of Education soon is ex-
pected to place its stamp Of approval
on the requests Of several elementary
schools to inaugurate a new method
Of grading pupils to supplant the old
"A-F" plan.
This will mean that many Washing
ton parents accustomed to threatening
Johnny with whipping If he doesn't
bring home a perfect report card are
due for a jolt-because Johnny won't
bring any grades home.
The School Board is expected to
look favorably on the schools applica-
tions because the experiment already
has been made-and with marked sue
cess-in two Washington schools. 1t
began as part of the character educa-
ton experiment several years ago in
the H. D. Cooke and Morgan Schools
Instead of carrying home the usual
report card, the pupils took their
parents two-paragraph statement
giving in detail what measure of sue
cess he or she had enjoyed in the

dren at both schools have voted in
favor of the plan, and the Board of
Education, according to First Assistant

to see the experiment tried in other
schools.
May Be Adopted.

and teachers, or by using a new type
card similar to that used in the ex-
periments here, according to DR.. Mary
Dabney Davis, elementary education
specialist at the Office of education.
This card, she said, not only gives
more detailed report of the childs
school activities, but also has blanks
for parents to fill out, too, regarding
the child's outside reading and other
home activities.
She said the trend in modern re-
port cards is to devote as much space
to behavior as to subjects. Order
liness, cooperation and leadership are
closely graded.
Emphasis on Individual.
"The emphasis continues to be on
individual rather than mass educa-
tion," DR.. Davis said.
Several schools over the country
she said, will open this Autumn with
out the traditional grade-a-year pro-
motion system. Students will be pro-
NOTED at the end of the third and
sixth grades.
Such experiments" DR.. Davis
said, illustrate efforts being made
to make the school administration
fit the children rather than the
children the system"

studies Incorporating work in his
tory, civics and geography. Small
children will study industry, art,

proved plumbing as they investigate

own generation, DR.. Davis said.
