GENERAL'S NAME IS DISCUSSED IN FREMITI1 APERS One Journal Sugg e s t s "Pershing" Means "Dear Father" Academy to Give Dinner.

PARIS, June 15. The French press i6 still discussing the pronunciation of . General Pershing's name. La Liberie gays' that probably the best solution is - Perechic, meaning Gallant Father, or Perecher, meaning Dear Father. .' ' ; ' . The French academy has resolved that its officers shall wait on General Pershing with a greeting from the academy and invite him to attend a public reception June 28. The American general and his staff were the guests of -Marshal Joffre at luncheon today at the military club. While the American general is being loaded with honors in Paris his subordinates are already at work. Visit Railroad Station. A delegation of American officers, accompanied by a French staff officer, has begun a tour of the principal railroad centres, with the object of familiarizing themselves with the French transport organization. They will investigate both the principal railroad systems and the special supply lines at the front. The delegation spent yesterday at Troyes, and then went to Brienne-Le-Chateau. Although General Pershing's first day in Paris was naturally filled to overflowing with social affairs, he managed nevertheless to utilize all moments . for business. It is understood that he will leave soon for an extended trip for the front. Followlne his " attendance at the chamber of deputies, the general and his staff motored to an aviation field to watch aerial evolutions of French experts. The French airmen ' outdid themselves in performing spirals, loop the loops and other tricks that frank' ly astonished the Americans, who admitted afterwards that they had never seen such feats in aviation. Crowd-Awaits Him. After an hour with the aviators Gen eral Pershing returned to Paris and conferred with the minister of marine. He then rested briefly while the ever enthusiastic crowd ' waited patiently outside his hotel. After his rest he went to keep a dinner engagement with minister of war Painleve. While both meetings with the ministers were largely of a social order it is understood that they afforded the American commander an opportunity to at least brooch the work into which he and all his following are so eager to plunge. General Pershing stole a brief period between his visits to Admiral Lacaze and M. Painleve to receive, first the French and then the American newspapermen. . Has Picture Sketched. He consented, graciously bul not too readily to be sketched finally by a young Parisien woman artist who worked as the correspondents plied with questions. General Pershing spoke almost joyfully of the prospect of being able to take up his work immediately. It was characteristic that during his .talk he never used the first personal pronoun but always referred to "us." Engagements of a social character will be taken up tomorrow but the Americans are looking forward to settling down to work in earnest by Monday at the latest. MURPHY TO LECTURE ON GARDEN ACTIVITY A stereopticon lecture showing gardens and garden work of the United States will be given in the High school auditorium, by E. F.

in the high school who has just closed a profitable year.

No charge against Principal Pickell has ever been brought before the board. For a complete explanation of the recent occurrence of Commercement day we refer the public to the statement of Principal Pickell tn the Pal ladium of Monday and the Item of Tuesday. "Better Be Awarded Criminals." It seems a tragedy that his years of successful effort should be forgot ten in a moment and that treatment has been handed out to him in this community that might be better awarded to a criminal, convicted of a serious crime. "Regarding Ramsey." Regarding Principal Ramsey Aside from Supt Giles, who has finished one of the two years for which he is contracted, the contract of every teacher terminates with the close of school. Mr. Ramsey was not discharged from the public scohols; bis contract expired on June 2. in. the opinion of Mr. Giles and the school board, the best interests of the school would be served by his not being re-employed; the board is the employer of teachers and Janitors; the same rules govern their employment as obtain In any up-to-date factory or business house; when a contract expires, if the employe Is not acceptable to the organization he is not re-employed; if he is valuable to the organization they will use every known effort to retain him. Regarding the Board. We welcome publicity, and only ask a square deal, but we certainly deplore the spirit and the manner of the at; tacks; any thoughtful person can see the effects that will follow, especially upon our boys and upon a portion of the community who -have not given consideration to the other side of the matter; with young people, this Is direct encouragement of the mob spirit, the taking of law into their own hands, and the canceling of what has been taught of morals, and the setting aside of the counsels of careful and conscientious parents. The opportunity was lost -of appeal ing to their self-control, and to moderation In their judgments. Newspapers Are Scored. We suggest that each publicity would have made more acceptable reading in this community and would have given Richmond a better standing where our exchanges go, than such "stories" as were served the week following commencement. The American public school ts ' a unique experiment in education; we are absolutely devoted to it, for it is the foundation atone of democracy; every citizen has a responsibility in its success; your board has acted in good faith and according to its best judgment and has a right to expect the confidence of the community. The board has purposely delayed this statement that Richmond might take a sober second thought on the school situation. M. F. JOHNSTON, Pres. S. A. HILL, Secy. P. A. REID, Treas.
