EDUCATION AND SCHOOLS American education ie giving more children more schooling throughout our nation than in any other country in the world. There is history in the archives of yesteryears which shows that the illiteracy of former times ias been brought down to less than 2 per cent among the native whites, and to new lows among foreign-born and other classes of citizens. The records of today are rich in proving the victories of civilization which now finds statistics of 30 million pupils being educated—not in the little red school houses—in buildings that cost 10 billion dollars. Within these walls one and a half billion dollars. The job is to school future citizens who are to become conquerers of the world of tomorrow. Colleges, universities, public schools and private schools are cogs in the general educational machinery. The statistics show more than 2 million Pupils in private schools in the United States. In commenting, a few days ago, a daily newspaper in the National Capitol sketched the career of Mrs. Jessie Moon Holton, who in 1901 began with the late Carolyn Arms, the now famous HoltanArrps school for girls. It is on S Street, which has become noted in the political, social and educational life in Washington, where lived former Presidents Wilson and Hoover, and where one now finds the homes of statesmen, diplomats and many other notables. Perhaps Washington owes part of the success and growth of Private schools to the fact that in former times the sessions of Congress were of short duration and the private schools offered a welcome service to the tamilies of senators and congressmen, who considered themselves transient residents. In these schools their daughters began to turn out so well that the private schools of the city automatically were iceociated in the minds of students and patrons with other institutions of higher learning. That is

why the Times-Herald related that Holton-Arms furnished the educational background for girls “from every state in the Union and from practically every foreign country.” It gives proper credit to tne personal qualities of a teacher in saying that “Mrs. Holton has, to a degree approaching genius, the ability to estimate the pattern of education best suited o he individual.” From his school girls are sent to college or they may take a business course “to go out from school equipped to be self-sup-porting,” explained Mrs. Holton. There remains no doub£ that the private school is a great factor in the nation’s educational system, as one may well surmise from the records which show Hol-ton-Arms pioneering in one room and nor covering a group of handsome buildings in two city blocks. IRELAND’S OULD SOD Hundreds of native Irish and Irish-Americans Who haven’t seen the “ould sod” for many are attracted to the Irish Free State Exhibit at the New York World’s Fair. There they look with misty eyes on an island which is an exact duplicate in relief of Ireland. The island is built up of soil from the counties of Eire and the lakes and rivers filled with waters from the River Shannon and the Lakes of Killarney. .

JOKE ON ADMIRAL Rear Admiral ClarK H. Woodward, commandant of the Ihird Naval District, is telling a joke on himself these days. To attend an official function at the New York World’s Fair, the admiral arrived in full uniform. Mistaking him for an attendant, a visitor stopped him and said, “Call me one of those motor chairs.” “But I’m an admiral in the United States Navy,” said the astonished sailor. “All right, then,” the visitor snapped, “call me a boat.” Y NEWS?
