Too many well-qualifled
parents, although they freely
criticize school procedures
among themselves, are afraid
to speak out for fear of retail
alton against their children.
Therefore, let us hope that
the investigation of our schools

committee on District of Co.

Senator StenniS will include a
study of the philosophy of
those who have permitted

ration of Washington's schools.
Many parents will be delighted
to write or appear to give the

Mrs. Edward b. Morris.
The letter by Nelson Littell
in The Star of June Q regard
ing school grading represents a
widely held view. The "edu-
Gators" in their SNUG pater-
nalism, have "short-changed"
the children. and the new
grading system is a juggling of
the books to conceal the dis
crepancy.
The last paragraph Of Mr..
Littell's letter was particularly
significant. 1t cites but another
example Of a trend which has
become distressingly obvious
among the more radical "edu-
Gators" and in their disciples in
the PTAS as well. I refer to a
practice impossible to conceive
in persons of their general
background-the use of sly and
devious means to propagate
their own ideas and to thwart
the presentation of any diver
gent point of view.
A great MANY of these yea
lots seem unduly influenced by
the inexact science" of sociol-
ogy. 1t may be that preoccupa-
ton with this subject (which
finds an excuse for every hui
man frailty except pride) leads
them to excuse their own bland
disregard for democratic prac-
tices.

The deserted robins nest

Three baby robins had been

other to the door mat. and the
third to a nearby tree.

and fly to the south this fall.
1t was all very exciting and
new, and in the meantime they
must eat.
The nest was a beautiful
round affair, of baked mud
almost as hard as concrete.
Where the babies had first
seen the light was covered with
soft fine grasses, and the out
side of the cup with rose vine
lengths, including some leaves
still green.
What a happy family had
been there! The pair had fed
them, tended them, now and
then collecting the ejecta into
white balls, and throwing them
out of the nest.
No wonder the nest seemed
neat and clean, now lacking
all life, only a small cup left
from the sterner affairs of this
life.

HOW A FASHION STARTS
Mrs. P. B. Georg, a reader,
tells us a little about how
fashion history is made. She
relates how fashions-both in
dancing and clothing-intro-
duced by Irene and Vernon
Castle, caught on before World
War I and right afterwards.
Irene started the short
hair fashion by bobbing her
own. She also wore a dainty
Dutch Cap to keep her locks
in place while dancing. She
had a superb and slender fig
ure and the draped and mold
ed gown with the slit skirt
was a personal trademark at
the height of her professional
dancing career. The fashion
houses had a field day copying
her favorite styles for all the
rest of us women to wear"
Today's dancing daughters
can thank her for a lot of
the comfort of the clothes they
wear.

Tailored feminine" types
are in for the best kind of a
fashion season right now.
Menswear fabrics are being
used by many designers for

like the crisp good looks Of

Illuminating commentary on the
Indignation of the Negro in Ameri-
can society can be found in the
autobiography of Marion Ander-
son, now appearing in Womans
Home Companion.
Essentially, Miss Anderson's
story a two-part series beginning
in the September issue of the
magazine, is a narrative about the
struggle Of a fine vocal artist to
attain the summit of international
acclaim. Underlying the basic
story, however, is an object les
son in how Negro and white, when
the highest ideals are practiced
by both, can live together in har-
mony and dignity. In the account
of her early years in Philadelphia,
for instance, Miss Anderson illus
trates graphically how her race
others shared a happy daily life.
She writes: I'VE grew up in
mixed neighborhood White and
Negro lived side by side and shar-
ed joys and sorrows"
Throughout Miss Anderson's
autobiography can be found
thought provoking remarks which
illustrate the social position of
the Negro in America aptly and
poignantly, although the very ma
ture of her story points up the
fact that any widespread social
significance which san be attach
ed to it is inadvertant on her part.
II is merely her story. told simply.
The sensivty of mind and the
beauty OF spirits which radiate
from Miss Anderson on stage,
however radiate through her
story. In describing personal en-
counters with Jim Grow or the
lack of It on individual occasions,
she does much to put bigotry into
the proper perspective of the in
tcllgent dignified human being
Negro or white:
Part one of Miss Anderson's
autobiography traces her child
hood and early years as a concert
artist. Entitled, My Lord, What a
Morning" il is presented to
Companion reader as the story of
zone of Americas greatest artists
the unique adventure of wo-
man who prove again that talent
courage and humanity are strong
er than any barriers"
