We believe that our educationa
system should be readjusted to NEE,
the changed conditions Of the times
We believe that the high school
course should be extended to six
years and a two year junior college
set up in each county where the
demand and population justified.
Under the present arrangement over
half the students receive no edu.
cation beyond high school. They
are let out of school at an age too
young and with too little training
to secure employment. Two years
additional high school would give a
much needed additional training
and maturity. Too many young peo-
pie go away to college at too young
an age. The two years Junior COL
ege would give the first two years
II college work at less expense than
t can be secured at college and
would permit the pupil to live at
lone. The saving in cost would be
considerable.

One of the gibes commonly made
at the rural press is that they play
up such items as "Home Town Boy
Makes Good" Well, it's q fact
they do. And we do. It's one OF
the things we like best to do, re-
port the success of some citizen
who makes good. We get a real
thrill out of the job.
Our story this week concerning
the promotion Of Hugh Copeland
to the managership of the Pasco
store gives us real pleasure, for we
like to see a man rewarded for
good work. His transfer to the
bigger Pasco store is an advance
ment which he couldn't afford to
pass up. He has made good on
the local job and has been given
a better one as result.
In the three years he has been
at the head of the local store he
mas made many friends because of
bis real interest in community af-
fairs and his activity in working
for them
He and his work will be missed
oy Kennewick and our loss is Pas
'os gain. We are sure that he will
prove as good a citizen on that
tde OF the river as he has been on
his. We are proud of his promo
ion but regret to have him leave
'ur community, even to go as far as |
'asco away from us.
And our feminine population who
lave become acquainted with Mrs.
Copeland will feel just as badly
bout losing her from the commun-
y.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trdce,Dell.

This is not all matter Of convenience,
although that sometimes enters into the
matter, but largely deliberate attempt
to secure beauty in different way.
Yellows anG pinks OF Towering trees,
shrubs and plants, perennial and annual,
strike the eye but are not all to natures
picture after all.
Green is definite part. 1t is sooth-
ing to the eyes, the great background
which enables all to stand out In true
relationship and color.
-
The modern all-green garden some
times comes into being because its
owner is forced to give over the strug-
gle with insects, weather, poor soil, and
so on. Inimical factors cause him to
lose interest He stops worrying, and
lets nature take her course In time
the plants all die, leaving behind the
more sturdy trees, shrubs and ever
green's. The cold winter of several years
ago killed his privet hedge, but left his
barberry plants intact. Good old bar
berry! He discovers real beauty in his
greenery, beauty which formerly he
had overlooked.
Some gardeners plan the green garden
deliberately.
It is possible, and profitable. 1t
forces the beauty lover to concentrate
as heartily on green, in its variations,
as formerly he did on pinks, violets,
blues, reds, yellows, and so on.
An amazing number of variations of
green, including the blue-green, are
possible, he soon discovers. Becoming a
connoisseur of greens, he laughs at the
thrips which infest the gladioli, the
black-spot which ruins other peoples
roses, and the yellows which take their
asters.
He sticks to his greenery, and feels
safe until the Japanese beetles come
along.
There is no thought of this treason
to color, however, on a morning when
shrubs into bloom.
They came out just as branches do
when plunged into jar of hot water
Heat had sprouted them gone to the
roots, pushed from below, brought out
the colors at last.
What would happen to them when
the cold came again?
Well, they are creatures of a few
hours only, at the best.
What difference does it really make
what happens to them? The lovehness
of these delicate first colors is meant
for a few hours only; its purpose is
not meant to endure, but only to wind
its tendrils around the heart of memory
and keep them true there, where they
flower forever.

an important first step toward the
correction Of such conditions. 1t is
actually saving money for the Dis
trict taxpayers, to say nothing of the
saving in family happiness and In
the salvaging of future citizens.
Itwas started by the Board of Public
Welfare as a demonstration project.
If it worked in limited neighbor-
hood the plan was to set up similar
projects throughout the city. APP
parently It has been successful. 1t
has kept families together. 1t has
kept children out of reform schools.
It has reduced the burden of relief.
It has inculcated sense of individual
responsibility which seems to be so
sadly lacking in these days when
families are allowed to drift.
There is a crying need for more
economically and spiritually profit
able projects of this type. Character
deterioration is rapid when it gets
started and harder to cure than any
physical malady.
But when it is caught at the very
beginning, like tuberculosis, it often
can be cured easily and permanently.
Perhaps in the long run this offers
the only way to reduce successfully
the growing burden of crime and de-
pendency.

The T.V. A. Report

When the joint Congressional COM
mittee investigating the Tennessee
Valley Authority exhausted its initial
fifty thousand dollar appropriation
last December it was announced the
inquiry had not been completed and
that more money would be sought
to make possible the interrogation
of additional witnesses. Subsequently
the committee decided to make a
report without conducting any fur
ther investigation.
Such procedure ordinarily might
lead to the conclusion that the
report is premature; that more con-
vincing findings would have resulted
had the committee completed its
investigation as originally planned.
In this case, however, no such as
sumption is warranted, for it does
not appear that the committee would
have come to any substantial agree
ment as to the merits or otherwise
of T. v. A., regardless of how much
time it might have taken or how
much money it might have spent.
The committee did show that per-
sonal charges preferred by DR.. Arthur

Soft pink and yellow hared all down

Overnight, brought out by the hand Of

Mrs. Markley's weeping cherry tree was

the great yellow clumps of forsythia.
And looking up and down the road,

one saw flares of yellow everywhere.

SoIvoging Children
An ounce of prevention, saws

An ounce of prevention, says the
old adage, is worth a pound of cure.
This truth is well exemplified by an
experiment in child delinquency
which has been unostentatiously
underway at the Peabody School in
Northeast Washington for the last
two years. The first symptoms of de-
linquency reported by school teach
ers or the neighborhood policemen
are investigated by trained workers
in an'effort to get at the fundamental
causes and correct them before the
anti-social behavior becomes so ag-
gravated that it is necessary to re-
move the child from its parents and
place it in a foster home or cor
rectional institution.
AS is shown by the recent report
to the Board of Public Welfare by DR..
Jacob Kepecs, Chicago child welfare
expert, the record of the District in
child delinquency is none too good,
considerably worse, in fact, than the
average for the United States. The
Peabody School experiment may be

An American Looks
At the Lithuanians.
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
The Lithuanians have recently been ac-
corded some space in The Sunday Star
Prof. Strakhousky gives us an insight
into their present troubles and also an
outline of their past history.
There are about $4,000 of these people
in the United States who were born in
the old country. Add to these their
native-born offspring and the descend
ants of the 'away-back" immigration
and you have quite a sizeable "bloc"
Here Chicago, Ill, seems to be the
Lithuanian capital with its $4,000
Lithuanians. Many Of them are stock
yard huskies
large colony of them is located right
in the heart of Representative D'Ales-
andro's district in Baltimore, Md. High
and Albemarle streets. All sturdy-Work-
ing folk. We trust that the Representa-
tive is looking out for them in the way
of jobs. The Lithuanian Hail. vote is
not to be sneezed at.
Like various other racial elements,
the Lithuanians have also provided this
country with some outstanding citizens.
There is our old friend, Jack Sharkey
(born here), he of the bitter tongue
and the evil eye. Twice he fought
the champion of Germany. The first
time he missed, but after the second
set-to the Board of Election super
visors counted him in. In his run-in with
the Rome end of the "axis" he was not
so lucky. "Da Preem" just about murdered
him. His invasion of Africa was also a
non-success. He won a preliminary
skirmish, but Joseph Hannibal Louis was
too much for Sharkey. And yet, he is
quite man.
Nowadays removed from the turmoils
of the prize ring, he concentrates on
philosophy. He is quoted (Stanley
Walker): "The trouble with life is that
when you get old enough to know what
to do you are too old to do it," Here
speaks a Plato, Seneca. In any case,
he is still being introduced at the "big
fights" as "a former heavyweight cham
pion." And this ought to be glory
enough for the "gabby gob."

Picks william o. Douglas
As Next President.

To the Editor OF The Star:
William o. Douglas nomination to the
Supreme Court OF the United States
appears to have captured the fancy of
the American people Those of us who
ofttimes most disastrously, have heard
Of stocks and bonds and stock exchanges,
have long admired him as the able
chairman of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. But this nomination has
brought Bill Douglas life story, the story
of a poor boy who worked his way to
the top. to the attention of the millions
of people in the United States who do
not concern themselves with stocks and
bonds. which after all are nothing more
than mere counters when compared to
the worthwhile things of life.
The millions of average Americans who
are not interested in whether steel is
up or down or whether the averages are
lower or higher today than they were
yesterday, Notwithstanding the argu-
ments of Wall Street that it is the
heart and pulse of the Nation, and who
after all mean more to democracy than
all the stuffed shirts of predatory
wealth. hold dear in their memories the
school-book stories of Andrew Jackson
and Abraham Lincoln, poor boys who
worked their way up against tremendous
odds. These millions of average mothers
and fathers have found new idol
in Bill Douglas. An idol whom they
can point out to their children and say,
''You, too, can do it in this land of op-
portunity.'
President Roosevelt in nominating Bill
Douglas to the Supreme Court has given
us great justice, but it looks as though
he has given us the next President of
the United States-Bill Douglas, plebian
and patriot.
