The School BUDGET

Several surprises, some of them
pleasant and some not so pleasant,
have developed in the 1941 school
budget since it left the Budget Bu-
reau and passed through the House
committees and the House itself.
School officials are delighted with
the prospect of unified recreation
under the Board of Education and
the creation of the post of first
assistant superintendent Of recrea-
ton. Ten years CT effort have been
spent by various organizations seek
ing consolidation of recreation
agencies. While there was some dis
agreement as to who should have
control of the consolidated facilities,
and not all supported Board of Edu-
cation control, at least the objective
has been attained and unless some
change is made in the Senate, the
board will have an opportunity to
prove whether the decision was for
the best.
Not so much pleasure is being reg
istered concerning the recommended
ton that the new Abbot Vocational
School be located on the Upshur
street tract. School officials have
been working for a new Wilson
Teachers College on that site and
had hoped to locate the Abbot School
In Brentwood Park on a site near
Gallaudet College. The House Ap-
preparations Subcommittee supported
them in this, but the location was
changed during consideration of the
bill by the full committee.
School officials maintain, and have
pin map to prove it, that the Brent
wood Park site is more central than
Upshur street for theaAbbot enroll
ment, most of which comes from the
Northeast and Southeast. Transpor-
tatlon facilities to Brentwood Park
are also excellent. The officials have
devoted some careful thought to the
matter OF locating the school, and 1t
would seem that their judgment
should be given consideration. It is
their responsibility to recommend
the location of the school and their
responsibility to run it when built.
There are some who are skeptical
OF the wisdom of placing the educa-
ton of physically handicapped
children under the Board of Public
Welfare instead of the Board of Edu-
cation. Repeated efforts have been
made by the schools to have this
service made a part of the regular
public school program, as it is in
many other large cities. Those who
worked for its inclusion in the budget
this year had no thought but that it
should be under the Board of Educa-
ton. The Welfare Board has had no
experience in handling this project,
while school officials have worked
closely with the Work Projects Ad-
mlnistration under which the work
has been carried out during the past
two years. Reports are that the
change was made as an economy
move because teachers could be had
more cheaply from the rolls of the
Public Assistance Division than
through the schools, but whether
this small saving is worth the read
justments which probably would be
necessary is open to doubt. However,
the main thing is to continue the
work, and this apparently is in
prospect.

appropriated, when a clear and salts
factory title shall be vested in the United
States; provided, that the sum of $4,000
thereof be invested for the family of said
Mills and after his death be given to such
children of said Mills as may survive
him.
"As that money has been paid over long
ago the presumption is that the Govern
ment has q f1rst-class title to the monu-
ment and can locate it on the Seventh
Street Wharf If it wants to. The last
thing done for the benefit Of the man
on horseback was In the first session of
the Thirty third Congress, when the fol-
lowing paragraph became law:

Too Few Drumutists?

William A. Brady, a celebrated
Broadway producer whose opinion
surely is worthy of consideration,
declares that "the decline of the
American theater" can be traced to
a lack of competent writer's for the
stage. Outside of about ten drama
tists," he says, "the playwrights
simply are not writing plays that
can be produced. There are investors
ready to back productions but
there is no material"
The public, perhaps not sufficiently
familiar with conditions in the world
of professional make-believe, might
have supposed that there was a
plentiful and reasonably consistent
supply of scripts not altogether de-
plorable. True, the master-crafts-
men of yesterday have departed;
yet it seems incredible that they
have had no successors. It could be
thought that the ten approved pens
to whom Mr.. Brady paid his compli-
ment would be capable of turning
out an equal number of plays each
year. If that theory be mistaken,
1t seems that new field for literary
effort is disclosed.
Certainly, the hold of the theater
upon the affections of writing men
and women has not relaxed. The
drama still has a magnetic power of
attraction for a creative intelligence.
What is wanted, then, would seem
to be more direct effort. The
writer's must aim point blank at the
theater. In recent years they prob
ably have been detected by the
movies, the radio and to some extent
by the greater prospect of prompt
reward from magazine and book
publication. The great American
play, when at last it is written, of
course, should stand upon its own
feet, not lean upon anything.
But compelling drama cannot be
brought into existence by wishing.
Sir William Archer once explained
that no writer can sit down at his
desk with perfect assurance that he
can manufacture a miracle. He
knew well enough that Shakespeare

The subjects of the experiments them-
selves check their own reactions as care.
1ully as they can. There are, of course
instruments which assist in the compila.
ton OF the data of confusion.
At double the force of gravity, the sub
Ject has sensation which is described
as comparable to that an individual feels
when he stands on his head. As the ac-
celeratlon increases, the normal individ-
uaI is likely to begin to feel a sort Of
cramp In the lower limbs. His breathing
becomes dif1cult. The next stage is a
sort OF lassitude, apparently not unpleas-
ant. This, Of course, is important knowl-
edge. An aviator, in the midst of a power
dive. perhaps being pursued by enemy
craft or himself pursuing, would not be
at his best In state Of lassitude.
After attaining speed five times the
force OF gravity, there is little change in
sensation because sort of numbness
visits the subject. Then, at ever-increas-
Ing acceleration, throbbing pain makes
itself felt In the head. the eyes feel as
though they were popping and the vision
turns red. A little faster, something be-
tween eight and nine times the force Of
gravity. and complete blindness super
venes, followed by coma.
But, after an astonishingly short time,
when the experience is considered in its
fullness. the subject RECEIVERS completely
and suffers no III effects. Experiments
have shown that frequently repetition Of
the experiment by the same man tends
to adapt him and he can stand more and
more acceleratton without blackins out.

munications through the Mediterranean.
The Germans want italy to remain neu-
tral-in order to avoid creating front
on Germany's southern flank. They also
want italy to be friendly and to hold a
constant threat over Britain and France.
There is realization of this changed
situation on the part of the British. The
London Economist calls attention to the
fact that If the British Navy is not going
to be able to starve out the Germans
then the whole strategy and problem of
the war changes. Other publications call
attention to the fact that in this war
the British blockade really is only 100
per cent effective along 120-mile front
in Germany, inasmuch as the Germans
have borders with friendly neutrals on
all other sides.
What, then, is the new British and
French problem?
That problem is to force Germany to
engage in active warfare before she has
chance to complete the job of building
supply lines. 1t is to try to create trou-
BILE in the Balkans by any possible
method. It is to try to cut the oil route
from Russia to Germany in the Black
Sea. It is to force Italy of the fence,
either to become an ally or to face an
invasion that would give England and
France chance to get at Germany from
the south. Such, at least, is the con-
clusion of the experts on military strategy
in this covernment
But there now is a question of whether
the allies are prepared for an offensive
type of warfare. Their whole strategy
and preparation has rested upon the pre-
mise that Germany would do the attack
ing in "blitzkrieg' fashion. They have
built air fleets designed for defense and
with much less emphasis upon offense.
If now that strategy must be changed,
there will be need to call upon the pro-
ductive capacity of the United States on
broad scale. Or, 1t may be that the
British and French will decide to 60 on
preparing for defense against the time
when the Germans will feel strong
enough and confident enough Of their
supply lines to launch the attack that
has been expected. Oh and on, since last
September.

The presence of the enemy may
also be suspected because of the
character of the web. It is a
mussed up, higgledy-piggledy web
that has no design and looks as if
a breeze or an animal had mussed
up a good spider web. Seasonally
she is most active from August to
October.
Victims do not always realize
they have been bitten. The bite
is instantaneously given and one
may think it just a scratch or a
splinter. This has a great deal of
bearing on subsequent events be-
cause the symptoms coming on an
hour or more later may be severe
abdominal pain which has been
mistaken for appendicitis or other
abdominal emergency. Singing
pains in the back and muscles,
nausea and shock are usual symp-
toms.
The treatment is morphine for
the pain, calcium salts in the vein
and treatment of shock. Hot baths
if there is not too much weakness
give great relief.
