President Of Harding College

The following sound observation regarding education
has been made by Mark c. Schnneer superintendent of the
Cleveland (Ohio) schools:

this regard and the cry for required in economies

The answer in my opinion lies in continuous effort

cent Sparrow, the thinnest and smallest
Of the tribe.
The strange thing was that Milly
did it.
She scared into the Jones yard ahead
of all the pack.
There's band of sparrows, just
lighted" said Templeton Jones, as he
looked out of his dining room window.
II hope" he continued, that they
leave that new Italian rye seed alone"
Jones had put in fresh seed the day
before, hoping that warm spell might
terminate it for the winter.
The members of the Sparrow clan
flew into the feeding station. starting
eagerly to devour the nice seeds and
grains they found there.

It was Millicent, of course, who dis
covered the rye seeds.
"Oh. boy!" she chirped. (The Spar

Whats Milly eating over there?"
asked Tommy. suddenly enviouS.
shes silly, anyway" growled Johnny,
Don't be disrespectful of your sister,"
said Mother Sparrow. She flew over to
the yard, followed by the whole brood.
Soon they were all eating Templeton
Jones rye seed as fast as they could,
and finding 1t the best food in the
world. It wasn't long until they had
cleaned 1t all up; the Sparrows are
hearty family, and all good feeders,
except Millicent. who is sort Of finicky
about what she eats.

Common Sparrow. II will show you
where to find good food in the cold"
The Sparrow family was very proud
Of the first name, Common.
1t came down from the playing fields
Of England, where. centuries ago. the
Sparrow family had lived in affluence
There was no attachment of scorn
to the word then. Common was the
name that had come over with the
Normans. It meant something, in
England.
But then came the great Sparrow
migration to the new land across the
seas. Some SO pairs were released near
what is now called Brooklyn, N. Y.
From thence they spread all over
America. to be met at times with
reputation.
Why" said some naughty bird
lovers. "they are nothing but common
sparrows." They said it in lower case,
as the printers phrase it., but in their
own hearts the members of the Spar
row family knew they were Sparrows.
And they particularly prided themselves
on the first name Of Common, descended
from the Normans. the great conquerors.

Come with me, children" chirped
Mrs. Sparrow. and will show you
something good to eat"
So they few and flew. right over the

None So Blind

In your January Is editorial None So
Blind" you suggest that our changes
in policy toward Germany. Japan, Yu-
goslavta, and Spain .'were dictated by
considerations Of self-interest In
changed situations" Whether, because
they were so dictated and not based
on principles of morality. some Of
these may yet haunt US. remains to be
seen.
The burden Of your editorial is criti-
cism of Senator Welker for questioning
Arthur II. Deans suggestion that we
explore the possibility that the Chi
nese Communists are more interested
in developing themselves in China than
they are in international Communism"
Your argument here is summarized
in these two sentences: Perhaps there
has not been any change in the atti-
tude of Red China which would justify
revision Of our policy toward China.
But we cannot safely assume that
there will never be such change"
AS to the first Of these two sentences,
we cannot hide behind speculation:
whether or not there has been change
is question of fact. and believe that
The Star would answer the question in
the negative. But Senator Welker has
gone no further than this. Whatever
we may hope concerning the future and
whether there will never" be a change,
Mr.. Dean was speaking of the present
and whether the Chinese Communists
are interested.

tions, when there is no evidence OF
present interest, to suggest that it may

Here is a nice church steeple, Just

So the Sparrows rested for a time,
looking around at the circle of churches
and gazing enraptured over the PROM

Works for Mother and Child

Few mothers In this city are aware
that they should be grateful to one
attractive young mother for making 1t
easier for. them to have healthy babies.
Most citizens are not aware. either. that
public hearings have just been held
by the Commissioners on proposed reg
ulations for the, care Of the newborn
in hospital nurseries, designed to make
the infant death rate still lower.
A little over 10 years ago, following
an epidemic in local hospital In which
many infants died. young woman set
out to prevent occurrences Of such
tragedies. With the help of her doctor.
she studied everything available in
medical literature on the subject of
infant dysentery and diarrhea. She
interviewed doctors and nurses. studied
Health Department records on vital
statistics. One prominent doctor
slammed the door in her face. but she
was not deferred. She even had mem
bers Of Congress demanding an in
vestigation Of conditions. though as Q
resident Of the District she had no vote.
Even though she became the mother
of three children. she did not cease
her efforts. Through the Burroughs
Citizens Association. then in the Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Associations. as q
member Of its Health Committee. she
fought. In 1919 she was awarded The
Evening Star Trophy as the Fedora
ton delegate with the most outstand-
ing record of civic accomplishment
during the year. for her work in OBJ
tanning consultant in pediatrics and
obstetrics for the Health Department
to work with the hospitals. and as in
stigator of the anti-Japanese beetle
campaigns in residential areas in the
District and adjacent counties.
She had pleaded with the budget
officer and the Commissioners for in
clusion in the budget Of a salary for
such consultant, and had SO bereaved
mothers organized to back up her cam
paign at District and congressional
budget hearings should these funds not
be included. After the position was
authorized there was some delay before
the appointment was made, and she
again used her persuasive powers.
Finally, DR.. Samuel Schwartz assumed
his duties and the regulations now
under consideration by the Commits
sioners had their inception.

Only new miracle drugs have prevented
the deaths that formerly would have
resulted. She believes that only if
there are specific regulations will high

Your editorial None So Blind" says:
"The Star does not know whether
there is any reason to hope that the
Chinese Communists can be split away
from Russian Communism :. Mr..
arthur HI Dean does not know :"
Neither you nor Mr.. Dean seems to
know that the official Recommendation
on this point is voluminous. yet con-
tainS not one iota of evidence to sup
port such possibility. There is. how
ever some evidence Of the possibility
of splitting Russia away from Chinese
Communism. as was done in Tito's case,
referred to by you.
This was accomplished, as you state.
by putting the screws on Tito until he
Squealed and then Russia threw him
out Of the Cominform. Is this the policy
you propose toward China?
Alfred Kohlberg.
Senator Welker attacks Arthur H.
Dean. special ambassador to Korea.
for offering "the view long held by
pro-Red apologists :" that there is
a possibility that the Chinese Commu-
nists are more interested in developing
themselves in China than they are
in international Communism"
The view upsetting the Senator hap
pens to be identical with that expressed
before Congress by General Macarthur
upon his return to the United States
General Macarthur stated then that
it is for its own purposes" and with
tits own concepts and methods" that
China is allied with Soviet Russia. The
General went on to say that Red
Chinese interests were now paralleled
with those of the Soviet but that they
showed the same lust for the expansion
Of power which has animated every
would-be conqueror since the begin
ming of time"
Does this make General Macarthur
q 'pro-Red apologist?"

wish to express to Miss Alice Eversman,
retiring music critic of The Star, their
deep appreciation for her years of
service in Washington musical circles.
The type Of criticism given in her
column has always been the more
valuable because it was both kind and
constructive. We feel it is largely due
to her inspiration that our club has
become a permanent unit in WASH

Vireinio's Budget Crisis

Virginias new Governor, Thomas B. STAN
ley, had to swallow some of his campaign words
in facing up to the cold realities of his States
budget crisis. Upon taking Office, he has re-
treated from campaign promise that he would
oppose any increase in the Scent gasoline tax
for roads. The record-breaking budget of STAB
million submitted by retiring Governor Battle
may be met from present revenue sources he
indicated, but highway needs are so urgent that
a 1-cent increase in the gas tax is necessary.
Governor Stanley's turnabout on the gas
tax issue was the big surprise of his inaugural
address because he had declared during his
campaign that his program Of highway and
other Improvements could be financed without
increased taxation" He now says: THAT was an
honest opinion, based ON information available
to me at the time" However, he explained, his
careful denomination of the situation recently
has convinced him that additional revenues must
be obtained to prevent collapse of the States
current and long-range highway program.
The retiring Governor and Chairman An
derson of the State Highway Commission
previously had expressed similar convictions.
The latter, in gloomy report recently esN-
mated that at least $28 million more year
must be found for highways during the next
IL years to keep the State highway system in
reasonably good condition. The 1-cent gas
tax raise recommended by Governor Stanley
would provide less than half Of this minimum"
additional amount. Where the remaining funds
are coming from is still mystery at Richmond
However, the new Governor spoke of plans for
ending, diversion" of gas-tax money into certain
activities not directly related to highways. But
this would not save enough to make up all the
deficit Chairman Anderson had suggested a
2-cent increase in the gasoline tax as the
only way of continuing virginia,s Justly famed
pay-as-you-go roadtprogram.
Governor Stanley gave his er-all approval
to the Battle budget, which emphasized edu-
cational and welfare needs. There win be
pressures for even greater appropriations 1for
schools, hospitals and other essential facilities

Stuffers Make an Impression

This letter could have been written
before but I thought it best to wait
for the January 10 issue Of The Wash
ington Star. 1t concerns your COR
respondent, Meredith Buel, and your
photographer, Elwood Baker.
These two were guests in my home
and ! speak with authority III not with
the eloquence of newspaper cor
respondent. They are wonderful. They
were like home-folks the minute I met
them. They followed me around the
kitchen like relatives. They raved over
the modest food. They were kind and
considerate. Every one who met them
was much impressed. They really made
hit" with the islanders.
Mr.. Buel and Mr.. Baker worked too.
They were up before sunrise taking
pictures and talking with the oyster
men. They spent the day and way into
the night with the old folks and getting
the days gossip at the local store. /
wondered how this mass of information
could ever be condensed into unified
article.
The results? We were amazed. 1t is
marvellous. We love it. The pictures?
Superb. Already we're getting inquiries
as to how to reach Gwynns Island.
Thanks for the space In your paper
and thanks for sending such fine people
to get the story. You should be very
proud to have these two on your stan.
