S5OO.OG0,OO0 A DAY.
(Christian Science Monitor }

(ChriStian Science MOn1tOr.)
Congress is preparing to spend
most of this week-say five days
on the Presidents lending-spendlng
hill. In a hurry to get home the legls-
Iators are expected to add $780,
100000 to the potential national deot
before the week is out.
The lending name for this bill may
save it from the Widespread M
patience of the public with spend
ing. but many of the loans contem-
Mated are no longer called self
liouidating" and if the risk in them
were not great they would be made
to private lenders. In the end many
of these loans will be paid by the
TAXPAYER, not the borrower, and 1t
is ONLY wise to face the fact. There
fore the bill is largely spending
measure.
There are good economists who be-
lieve that the Government must con-
tinue to sluice money into the invest
ment stream to make up Tor the
drought of private investment. To-
day there are few countries in the
world where government money les

ment programs) is not supporting the
national economy. And many stu
dents believe that modern industrial
countries have passed into state
where private enterprise will not suf-
flee; that there must be government
made work or a large part of the
population supported in idleness.
We are not ready to accept that
belief but even if it be assumed to
be correct the investment of national
funds should be handled with the
greatest care and the closest scrutiny.
Money should not be thrown in at
the rate of S5OO,OOO,OOO a day by a

mand for Federal funds and the votes

Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, July 26.-Jim Vogler,
Mecklenburg representative, will
not be a candidate for speaker of
the House in 1941, though ne hopes
to come back to Raleigh for his
third consecutive term. He said so
while in Raleigh briefly. early this
week.
"I'd rather pick the winner for
speaker and governor and help them
than become speaker myself, he
sagely opined.
Oscar Barker, Durham attorney
who was a central figure in the
sixth districts 1888 congressional
race, tangled by charges of fraud
in High Point at the first primary
and further complicated by death
of the Nominee league after the
second, "hopes" that nobody will
run against him next year. But
what candidate doesn't?
Barker makes no secret what
ever of the fact that he is going to
run again. So far there has been
no definite indication of the plans
of Carl Durham, present represen-
tative, who was nominated by the
congressional committee of the
district after days of deadlock.
Both Barker and Vogler agreed
(your correspondent had quite a
"bull session" with them at lunch)
that probably the only two candi-
dates for speakership of the House
next time will be Guilfords John
Caffey and Rowan's George Uzzell.
From other sources, however, it
is intimated that Victor Bryant,
who tried for the post last time as
an easterner, will accept the verdict
which "proved" Durham to be
"west" and try again next session.
If he does, it will be interesting to
see how many who said the Bull
City was "west" will switch and
move it into the "eaSt"
Preliminaries for North Carolina's
State Fair, to be held October 10
to IA this year, are farther along
than ever before, according to Miss
Martha Dees, efficient secretary
for DR.. J. S. Dorton, who holds the
fort here while the manager looks
out after his many other fairs and
affairs.
Reports are current that w. w.
Neal, of Mcdowell county, now
chairman of the North Carolina
Park Commission and a one-time
members of the State Highway
Commission, is a potential candidate
for lieutenant governor.
Mr.. Neal may be brought into
the race, it is whispered, through
dissatisfaction from the present
highway set-up, which he is said to
regard as giving too many Hitler
like powers 10 the various district
commissioners.
Last year Neal and "Fatty" Giles,
then the Mcdowell House lncum-
bent, got into a heated, violent
primary campaign and while they
were busy skinning each other
alive, Ashby Robinson, complete
newcomer to the political arena,
walked off with the nomination in
the first primary.

ing division reports that it received

BY JOHN ]. DAILY.

Founded on Thanksgiving Day,
1867, the Industrial Home School,
which takes care of many delinquent
white children of the District of Co.
lumbia, is now celebrating its 72d
year.
Earl w. Cassie, after II years as
superintendent of the school, has a
story to tell-and he is glad to tell
it, with reservations. It is one of
the grand stories in the realm of cor
rective science, but it is a story in
which punches have to be pulled
because so many intimacies are in
volved.
There is, for instance, the life
story of a beautiful young girl
only Is years of age-who was a
shoplifter when she first came to
the school. She ran away from the
school. She was picked up in Phila-
delphia plying her trade They sent
her to a house of correction. She
escaped and went to Baltimore,
where she was arrested again as a
shoplifter. She received another
sentence, year in a reform school,
and again escaped. After that, and
remembering what she had seen of
similar institutions, the girl decided
shed come back to. Washington and
enter the Industrial Home School,
where she served out her original
sentence. When that was over she
had nowhere to go. So the super
intendent kept her on. interested her
in mathematics-her natural bent
and today the girl is one of the
up-and- coming businesswomen in
New York City.
School "Streamlined."
Originally organized as home for
forlorn, friendless and impoverished
children. the school-situated in the
center of a 14-acre tract at 2453
Wisconsin avenue-has practically
streamlined itself to meet changing
social conditions. 1t Is rated today
as one Of the most modern schools
of its kind in America 1t employs
every known means to make life
attractive for those boys and girls
who are behavior problems, sent
there from the Juvenile Court.
Technically, the children do not
come directly from the Juvenile
Court but are first committed to
the Board of Public Welfare, of
which the Industrial Home School
is part. They are then placed in
the home by the Child Welfare Di-
vision of the Board of Public We'll
fare. Some of these children have
actually committed serious offenses
against society - but a casual on
locker might say they were fortunate
young persons whose parents sent
them to private boarding school.
The Industrial Home School has
that quality.
Even persons who live close to the
institution, and those who pass it
daily would never suspect that these
old buildings harbor boys and girls
sentenced to what in the old days
