The Washington times., 1939-01-11

froI' LEWIS nancy tlOn between Ell
fort and reward, two conditions
which are at the bottom of New
Deal theories all over the world.
The McKesson & Robbins case is
an abnormal one. 1t is extreme.
But 1t serves to illustrate con-
dition which I have been CRITICS
ing for 25 years. This condition
is the imperfect wording of dem
ocracy in our corporations, one
manifestation of which is the fail
ure of directors adequately to rep
resent stockholders.
LAZY OR INDIFFERENT
Too often our boards of directors
either do not direct, or misdirect,
the affairs of the corporations
over which they preside. Some
are lazy or indifferent. Some are
directors merely to get informa-
ton which they can use for their
own purpose.
In view of this condition, w. o.
Douglas, chairman Of the SEC, has
just proposed that our directors
be chosen from a class of profeS-
sional experts, who would be paid
good salaries for their services in
determining the policies of cor
porations.
HANEY'S REMEDY
What is needed is to stop the
growing separation between re-
sponsiblility and power. And this
requires that we stop the separa-
ton between ownership and man
agement.
To these ends, long ago pro
posed in my book on Business Or
ganization and Combination" that
directors be required to hold an
important amount of the common
stock of the corporation which
Trey direct.

n. C.. III. S. Athletic
Program Is Varied
Ninety-Five Percent of Stu
dent Body Participates.
Girls Team Good.

We have at Nathan's Creek an
athletic program for the whole
student body. We felt at the be-
ginning of the year, as we did
last year, that too much stress
had been placed on our basket
ball teams, and the bulk of the
student body had not been en-
couraged to participate in any
athletic games.
Each teacher is required to be
on duty at all recreation periods,
including the noon hour. Each
group has a playground assigned
on the school ground where the
students participate in their
games under the supervision of
their teacher.
The attitude developed among
the pupils is so fine that prob
lens of discipline usually occur
ring during recreation periods
have been almost eliminated. The
attitude of fairness has develop
ed to such a point that a group
Of students may play by them
selves without the customary
fights and quarrels. On an aver
age about $50 of the student bO-
dy participates in some athletic
game We not only developed an
athletic program for the student
body, but two fine basketball
teams. The girls team was COM
posed of Mildred Osborne, Reita
Hart, and Lorene Murphy,
guards, Myra Garvey, Mildred
Gambill, and Pauline Fowler,
forwards, with Wilma Absher,
Leona Wyrick, Ina Pierce, Eli
ma Denny, and Glenna Vaught,
subs. In the county tournament
they stood 4th. The girls played
I 10 games and lost 5. The boys
team was composed of Kyle
Ward and John Gentry, forwards,
John Woodruff, center; Bill Pen
nington and Maynard Gambill,
guards. Maynard Gambill was
I chosen as an all-stals guard)
Blaine Ward, Sidney Absher,
Doyne Sanders, Gale Bare, Glenn
Austin, and Gentry Pennington
subs. The boys held 5th place in
the county. They played %
games and lost 10. Mr.. Mcclure

Glass Dropped
From 81 TO IL

Ever since the senior class OF
this year entered high school,
they have had the name Of be-
ing the most mischeviOus fun
loving class in high school. 1t is
thought that they still live up to
this name, even though they are
dignified Seniors. No one knows
who will get this name when
they are gone, but it is thought
that the freshmen of this year
have a pretty fair chance at it.
When the senior class of this
year entered high school togeth>
er in "a, there were 81 Of them.

YT WAS raining the day Miles Cranbourne.
the Wears s son, came home. Very suitably,
u as if the Heavens declared their sympathy
with the Vicar.
Miles was ramshackle young man, much
too thin. His was not yet, somehow, grown
up face. 1t was the face of child who has
touched the red hot poker against advice, and
discovered it burns.
They had given him his ticket, and his
belongings back, when he left prison that
morning He stared at the round, bland face of
his grandfather's gold watch. Little had it
dreamed it would spend three years in prison
safe, awaiting its owners release!
The man behind the desk had spoken to him
briskly. "Off you 60, and don't let us hear
any more of you. Chaps like you ought never
to show up here at all.
He had seemed nice man. Miles wished
he knew him better for there were things he
would have liked to ask advice about. 1t
wasn't going to be easy. going home.
Queer how hard it is to come by advice
when you want it. In theory one ought to
go to one's parents, of course. Maybe it would
be easier if ones father was not Vicar of
the Parish.
Never mind. He had come back with a
broken and contrite heart all right. He would
say: Father, have sinned against Heaven
and before thee" and he would mean it. He
would kneel down beside his mother and bury
his head in her lap
He would explain to her that he had really
and truly not done the dreadful thing he had
been punished for, and she, at least, would

And he who holds the purse strings, calls

How we'll you understand. How strordi-
nary we'll" Miles flung loving arm round
the other neck. The young man laughed, and
removed it. Your friends bit bottled" he
said to the rest of the party.
The others lined up, joining arms. They
swayed on the line of stools by the counter.

Il wouldn't be surprised if you do said
the green young man thoughtfully. 1t took
him some time to assure them no oifense was

music hall, and gave three rousing cheers for
Cambridge at regular intervals all through the
performance. The stranger cheered with them,
laughing. showing his white teeth. Fuddled as
he was, Miles got the impression he was not
really one of them, but watching.
The stranger left them as soon as the show
was over Before he went he pressed his card
