HOoDLUMS AT SCHOOL

Here's something that sounds new but
probably deserves the spotlight because it
has become known.
At Junior high school in Philadelphia
some 800 pupils refused to attend classes
because, they said, they were robbed and
beaten by group of older boys essaying
the role of big-time gangsters.
Older boys, alleged the students, de-
manded pennies, nickels and dimes from
younger students as protection" from
beatings. theft of lunches and other mis-
treatment.
There seems to have been some basis
for the complaints as the Board of Educa-
ton in appointing a superintendent au-
thorized him to seek police protection for
the children if necessary.
The Philadelphia students were only
carrying out, in a big-time way, some of
the customs and traditions which have
been included in the 'hazing" that is
winked at by authorities of most schools
and colleges throughout the nation.
1t is a good sign to see the authorities
of any school take positive action against
ruffianiSm whether 1t be practiced in the
name of school tradition or under some
other custom. II is very important that
students learn something about proper
conduct toward others and there are few
intelligent teachers who think that any.
thing is gained by such tactics on the part
. of the older students.

DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just 10 Years
Ago Today As Taken From
The Files of The Citizen

Fast, fierce and furious was
the deadly encounter which took
place on the highway at Torch
Key yesterday afternoon in which
Chapeau, a Wire-haired terrier
and a coon participated. After a
thrilling and desperat battle the
ring tailed fellow succumbed. He
was dressed and put on the ice.
Roasted the old time way with
sweet potatoes, he afforded fine
dinner feast today at the house
where the winner lives on Duval
street. Chapeau, the best known
dog on the island, distinguished
by wearing little straw hat and
riding with his head out of the
car window, was delighted with
the victory and his first expert
ence in a fight of any kind. He
had donned an important air
since and seems to realize that
he is not only trick dog well
educated but a good coon dog as
well.

NEIGHBORS

While the United States can
boast of a century of peace with
its northern neighbor, Canada, it
is only 80 years since this coun-
try fought Mexico and in sub
sequent peace treaty, took about
half of the Mexican domain.
Again in 1914, the fleet moved to
Vera Cruz, landed marines and
occupied the city after heavy
fighting. In 1916, following
Pancho Villas raid on Columbus,
New Mexico, General Pershing
led 10000 Americans about 800
miles into Mexico on a punitive
expedition. While Mexican re-
lations, in general, have improv-
ed within recent years, there is
an outstanding dispute over pay
ments for land and oil properties
seized.

SCENERY VERSUS SIGNS

The other day, Hugh r. Pomeroy,
chief of the field service of the National
Association of Housing Officials, appeared
before city officials, city council and the
Key West Housing Authority, and gave
one of the most lucid and clarifying talks
or the question of slum clearance ever
heard in this city. One very important
fact was stressed while Mr.. PomerOy was
discussing the fact the United States Hous-
ing Authority provides for payment of any
loan in 60 years.
Mr.. Pomeroy went on to state that 60
years is long time; that the government
lending agency makes careful iEvestiga
ton to determine if city would enjoy
prosperous economic life for so years as
protection against loss; that the Key West
Housing Authority should make careful
and detailed study of the economic posi-
bilities of this community, and then ex-
pressed the opinion that in all probability
Key Vests greatest opportunity for pros
perity in the future would be found in the
tourist trade.
"Key West has an undoubted charm
ROY declared "Those attributes should be
maintained as much as possible while re-
moving unsightly slum areas and while
making general improvements. The city
must be kept attractive for the tourist and
the winter resident. If that is done, the
future of Key West / am convinced, would
be assured
"In that connection the approach to
this beautiful island from the mainland
must be made as attractive as possible.
Already l note some things which detract
from the beauty of that approach. Among
them are signs and billboards which strike
the eye and mar the scenery at frequent
intervals. 1t is a mistake to permit erec-
ton of such signs and billboards.
"If the practice is not checked the
scenery will be buried back of the signs.
That would detract from the enjoyment of
the trip to Key West-and that would de-
crease the economic possibilities of Mon
roe county and Key West Anything that
reduces those possibilities directly affects
Key Vests ability to get money with
which to build housing projects for those
who need adequate shelter and with which
to make other improvements.
Mr.. Pomeroy then asserted that while
coming the city, the matter of coming the
county should not be overlooked. There
should be a county coming board. Such q
body, he said, could prohibit erection of
signs and billboards or any other unsightly
structures along the highway. The speak
er emphasized the fact that other counties
throughout the country had been highly
successful in coming scenic areas.
The Citizen believes the suggestion
for county zoning board is worth further
investigation and adoption if found feas-
ible. There is no denying the fact that
from Big Pine Key to Key West the road
side is sprouting new crops of signs and
billboards day by day. The tourist scans
the passing scene for sight of white or
blue heron and he sees an unsightly adver-
Using sign. Scenery is one of our assets
ard we must guard it against loss
