The Family Survives
EVERY NOW AND then some

EVERY NOW AND then some
body arises to suggest that
the family is disappearing as an
American institution, with copious
explanation as to the causes that
work the injury.
1t is interesting, therefore, to
report that statisticians OF the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany say that figures show that
"the family continues to remain
the firm foundation of our social
structure"
The experts point out that in
normal times three-quarters of
our families consist of a husband
and wife, living together, either
with or without children. Fami-
lies broken by the death of the
husband or wife amount to one
eighth of the total and only one
twentieth of our families have
been broken by divorce or separa-
ton.

Schools and Democracy

WITH THE REOPENING Of
w schools near, it might be well
for parents and teachers to do a
little thinking about the pupils
who present a problem to both OF
them.
Children going to school sys-
tenn should not be regarded as
raw material to be subjected to
certain definite processes in the
expectation that the finished prod
uct can be certain or standard
lied. Factors Of inheritance and
environment combine to make
each child a special subject re-
curing, more or less, individual
lied treatment.
Parents who expect a school and
its teachers to take rough speci-
men of unframed humanity and
develop it into a polished human
being are looking for a good deal.
They must not expect the schooi
to take the place Of the home ana
the church. The guidance that
a teacher can give to a pupil Is
valuable and necessary but II
should not replace entirely all
functions of parents.
Teachers, on the other hand'
facing a mass of little human
beings in their classrooms, should
not overlook the Importance OF
Identifying each pupil as a sepa-
rate and distinct human entity
The good teacher is not a mass
worker. There must be recogni-
tion of the peculiar difficulties
that confront each student, TO-
rether with an intelligent toler-
ance for the child, if the greatest
improvement in the individual is
to be secured.
Naturally, we are very proud
of the school system in this COM
munity. Along with millions OF
other Americans, we thoroughly
endorse the common schools which
offer educational opportunity to
all children upon practically equal
terms. The schoolhouse, in our
opinion, is the bulwark of demo-
cratic processes, which should be
understood, respected and OBJ
served by officials and teachers,
as we'll as by students.

Reporters Often
EXaggerate

AT THE BEGINNING of the
sensational drive of the
American Third Army to close the
escape gap of the German Sew
enth Army, the American people
were told, in the press and over the
air, that 100000 Nazis had been
bagged in the Orne pocket.
Naturally, our people find it
somewhat difficult to understand
the escape of most of these SOL
diers, together with the armor of
General Won Kluge. They are
puzzled by the successive reduc-
tions in the estimates of Germans
to be captured from 100000 to
100000 to $4,000 and then to an
indefinite total.
Part of the explanation lies, we
suspect, in the anxiety of reporters
and commentators to anticipate
the events of war. This should
be borne in mind in connection
with present reports that, one trap
having failed, the Allies are now
closing the mouth of other bags
closer to Paris.
The war has demonstrated that
a well-led group of soldiers, fight
ing courageously under intelligent
direction, can resolutely hold open
the jaws of a trap, regardless of
losses, until their main forces get
away. This was demonstrated re-
peatedly in the Russian campaign,
where the Germans, with one
notable exception, repeatedly es-
capped Russian efforts at encircle-
ment of large bodies of troops.
1t will continue to be probable
in France as long as the German
armies fight as a cohesive force,
under the leadership of officers
who understand the art of war
fare.
1t is no reflection upon Allied
generalship or soldiers that the
excessive and over-optimistic pro-
phecies of jealous reporters are
not carried out. In fact, these
predictions of tremendous sue
cesses tend to underestimate the
job that faces our soldiers who
are fighting stubborn and intelli-
gent foe, holding defensive posi-
tions of considerable strength.

tack of German fighter planes,
which shot down six of eleven
American bombers.
While comparison of German
resistance to air attacks today
with that of a year ago reveals
the dwindling power of the Luft-
waffle, the bomber crews go on
no pleasure jaunts when they head
over the Reich. While some of
the squadrons get through with
little opposition, others encounter
plenty of peril.

No Crusade
THE NEWSPAPERS gene

HE NEWSPAPERS generaliy
Il are united in the demand for
worldwide freedom of expression
and communication.
The phrase is somewhat gen.
eral. 1t probably means, to most
newspaper men, the right to go
anywhere, investigate anything
and send any news or comment
without interference.
We presume that it does not
include a demand that external
pressure be applied to backward
countries in order to create free
doms within other lands. While
we are convinced that liberty-lov-
ing peoples should have freedom
of expression everywhere VIZ are
not inclined to institute a world
wide crusade, backed by force, if
necessary, to establish this free
dom in foreign countries.
Let us have, if you please, an
international police force of suf-
fcient strength to squelch am
bilious attempts at military ag-
gression.
But at the same time, lee the
process of establishing freedom in
all countries be based on educa-
ton and example, rather than an
attempt to force it upon peoples
not yet ready to accept or absorb
it.

Georgetown Citizens Association
Police and Fire Committee at the as
sociation's meeting last night, said
that the District Police Department
is disregarding pleas for a city cuff

law would emphasize the juvenile
delinquency problem rather than i'm
prove it.
He said that parents, instead of
| disciplining their children, would be
encouraged by the law to put the
responsibility of discipline on the
departments shoulders. Children
found on the street late at night are
questioned by police, he said, and If
they are unable to give an account
of themselves the parents are in
formed of their whereabouts. Capt.
Winifree pointed out that delinquency
is not problem in Georgetown. He
said the principal offenders are
"repeaters."

Mrs. DoImage, Freed
lin Jewel Theft Case,
Embraces Attorney

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of $61. 900 worth of an
tique jewels from the apartment OF
Otis Beall Kent, wealthy retired
lawyer, remained unsolved today
with the acquittal OF Mrs. Frances
Dolmage, who was charged with the
theft.
An all-male District Court jury
acquitted Mrs. Dolmage of the
charge at 6:10 o'clock last night
after two hours elaboration. The
trial lasted three weeks.
When the verdict was announced,
the 38-year-old defendent threw her
arms around her lawyer, Robert H.
Mcneil, and said: with my hus-
bands permission, I'll kiss my at
torney."
The Government had charged
that Mrs. Dolmage took the jewels
out of spite after her friendship
with Mr.. Kent had terminated. The
Jewels have never been recovered.
During his closing argument, Mr.
Mcneil turned to Mr.. Kent in the
front row of spectators and Shout
ed: "If any one should be before
the bar of criminal justice, 1t should
not be the defendant, but this dia-
bolical schemer who had the eff
frontery to bring her here"
Assistant United States Attorney
Bernard Margolius said today the
case was closed as far as his Office
was concerned. Mrs. Dolmage,
who was clad in black ensembles
throughout the trial, said she had
never doubted she would be &C
quilted.

Lafsios' Seeking fifth
K.0.. Faces Rugged
Rival in RoveIIi

Nick Latsios, Alexandria's Golden
Greek and now in the Army at
Boiling Field, hopes to remove the
suspicion that his last victory, that
one-round knockout of Bee Bee
Wright. was luck-tainted by doing
the same tonight to Ray Roveli.
They meet in the feature 1O-round
match on the Turner's Arena pro-
gram.
Nick has a good kayo record
with 10 of his II professional VIC
tories coming on knockouts, but
most of his victims hardly are in
the same class with Rovelli. Aside
from Wright, the best he has chilled
were Taffy Cummings and Make
Starr. Only setback Nick has had
was from Charley Bennett, a fighter
he decisively outpointed in a re-
turn engagement.
Rovelli, New Yorker, is making
his second start here, he having out
boxed Bee Bee Washington in his
debut two weeks ago. He's been
meeting a fair class of fighters UP
New York way, with the draw
against AL Dummy Davis about
the best mark on his record. He's
a fair boxer and more experienced
than is Latsios.
The welterweight division now is
proving a popular one in Washing
ton and tonight's winner will be due
a good outdoor feature spot early
IN the summer. Mailman Massey,
Latsios' manager, already has issued
challenge to Aaron Perry.
The semifeature spot goes to Bob

His opponent will be Leroy Fleming

OF Wilson's illness. Other six-round-
ers booked by Matchmaker Gabe
