Conclusion


 Through this series of three articles We have attempted to pie ture for you the Human Side of the Schools, one qiute removed from mere scholastic achievement. We have tried to prove the teacherss interest not only in the pupils scholarship, but in the development of his physical, emo- tional, personality, talent, and spiritual unfoldment. AS the in- structor checks his register he sees more than a list of names, he sees a group of human beings en- trusted to his care. Here is one who because of speech difficulty must be realt with patiently and encouraged constantly to over- come his fear of speaking or read- ing aloud. Here is one with a poor elementary school foundation. He must be coached after school hours. And here is one who is developing into "a tough guy". He must be taken in hand pri- vately and an effort made to convert him into a cooperative citizen. Here's Bob still being picked on" by the older and bolder pupils. What can I do to help him overcome his timidity and how can best help his tor- mentors realize their cowardli- ness? Here's Charlie careless and neglectful of his personal health yes, I must try to get hold of him during the recess period. T. An, here's Johnl He's the one who delights in disfigur- ing the property on Kilmer Ave- nue - he must be interviewed. Perhaps my best chance will come if I invite him to have a sand wich with me in the cafeteria. At least, we'd start on 8 friendly basis. .. H'm, Fred -- I must write that letter to the trustees this evening. Fred will never make college unless we can get him scholarship. And Jack--stili wasting his time reading trash. Better ask him to stop into my home this evening. Perhaps, a couple of decent novels might help. And Marion -- what did she ask me last Week2 Oh, yes.

@NAAfA SCAtAOC 0~~AA WI SnkS~AAesSAAS ' London, Dec. 9---American ha1l- room enthusiasts who nightly strut their stuff in the Lambeth Walk and hilariously shout "Oil" in the most approved English style, may not be SO proud of themselves when they learn that they may be imitat- ing inmates of a lunatic asylum.
 1 But facts are facts. Lupino Lane, 1amous little comic star of '.Me and My Girl" now running in Victoria Palace, London, is the true inventor and begetter of the Lambeth walk. Interviewed in his dressing room the other eve- ming, Lane unused along:
 : 'In the last show in which I ap- peared I acted the part of a Cock ney and did a sort of Cockney walk. When one of the characters fin the play asked me where l learned 1t, T replied Lambeth Naturally in the present show when I developed the thing into

They send hundreds of holiday favors to patients in the government hospitals in Newing- ton and Northampton.

 To direct such activities Suc- cessfully requires time, patience. and sympathy on the part of busy teachers. Often, both teachers and pupils work under great pres- sure, but, they do so willingly. for always present is the idea, This will help someone who is discour- aged, or suffering, or unfortu- nate.

COLPOYS CHOICE
FOR new Term
REMINDS OF 1912
Had Part in Nominating
Woodrow Wilson
BY EARL GOODWIN

When President Roosevelt re-
nominated John B. Colpoys for
another four-year term as U. S.
marshal for the District of Co
lumbia, he turned back to a page
Of local Democratic politics that
concerned the famous Baltimore
convention that nominated Wood
row Wilson, changed Franklin
Roosevelt from a country squire
to Assistant Secretary of the
Maryland introduced ColpoyS as
q good sound politician.
Young Colpoys, up to that time,
had been fighting the battles Of
humanity through the opportuni-
ties offered him as member OF
the Central Labor Union.
HEADED DELEGATION
The make up of the successful
District Of Columbia delegation to
the Baltimore convention in 1912
was largely of labor union repre-
SentativeS.
Two groups fought, bled-and
one of them died-Seeking the
honor. 1t was Colpoys' outfit that
won.
Later, John Colpoys became a
conciliator in the Department of
Labor. Also he carried on as edi-
tor of the Trades Unionist, posi-
ton he holds to this day. Presi-
dent Roosevelt appointed him mar
shall for the District on April %,
four years ago, succeeding Edgar
Snyder. The new term runs four
years from April % of this year.
POWER INCREASES
John Colpoys and his fellow
Democrats who stepped into the
limelight in 1912 seem now to
have completely eclipSed the Dem.
ocrats who had gone before and
who had not been connected with
successful campaign since
Cleveland'S time.
They displaced the active Dem
ocratic National Committeeman,
Edwin Newman. uncle Of the
present Police Judge Newman.
That committeeman had received
a pledge from Woodrow Wilson
and half a dozen other possible
nominees to work hard and earn
estly for suffrage for the District.
woodrow Wilson won; and forgot
suffrage.
J. FRED KELLY WAVES
Another figure who then began
to go down over the horizon was
the unforgettable ]. Fred Kelly,
Democratic henchman from the
Cleveland days and the Col. House
for the famous James L. Norris,
Democratic national committee
man for the District Of Columbia
during and after the first Cleve-
land administration.
That Baltimore convention saw
Franklin Roosevelt take the side
of Bryan against Tammany. That
stand elected Wilson, and led the
way for Roosevelt to Albany and
finally to Washington. Colpoys
and Roosevelt sat on equal terms
in that convention-almoSt I'm
known delegates.

In the second clash, the No. 2 Whites
