A Bedtime Story. (For Boys and Girls From Six to Sixty.) One day Pee Wee Brown took a ride in Ferret Conner's taxiecabbie. When_he got out he saw that he owed Ferret 90 cents, and. being a kind and generous Pee Wee, he said: “At's awright. Keep the change.” “But sir,” said Ferret, “this is not a _one-dollar bill you have given me. 1t's a fiver.” Never in all his long, long life had Pee Wee ever met an honest taxie- cabbie driver. He took one long look at Ferret and fell dead.

Heads, ~ EXPLAINS SCHOOL PROBLEMS Defends Gag Rule Before Park View Citizens. The powers of.the District Commis- sioner should be curtailed rather than enlarged, especially with matters per- taining to the board of education and the school system, Julius Peyser told members of the Park View Citizens’ Assoclation and the Park View Parent- Teacher Assoclation, in joint meet- ing at the Park View School last night. Any increase in power should be vested in the people, he said, and hoped the time was near when the board of education would be elected by direct, vote. Peyser said the District school sys- tem is a model which communities all over the country would do well to imitate, and urged that the pride held for the em be voiced in demand- ing the employment of the best edu- cafors in the country to instruct the children in_ Washington in modern fashion, and not from books of an- cient date. He said he fears the teaching of American history and civics was slipping out of the sys- tem. English and Histery. Too many foreign inroads are being made into the school system, he sai’ and advocated the teaching of Eng- lish through the elghth grade so that the children may know the language in which the Constitution is printed. He urged the teaching of incidents in history, such as the Boston tea party over .Ind over again, affording the pupils a better insight into the foun- dation on which the country is built. He asked the associations to for- give the mistakes of the board of education and support it in its fight for better school facilities for their children. He laid blame for most of the delays and inconveniences caused the school board to the Commission- ers and said the present teachers’ bill in Congress would have been lost had they awaited the pleasure of the Com- missioners, who opposed it. He com- mended the platoon tem in opera- tion in the Park View School. Wants Matrons in Schools. Peyser favored better lighting and sanitary conditions in the schools and hoped to have a matron placed in all schools where girls attend. He urged the citizens to be reasonable in their demands and not ask much as they exp. for twice as to_get but to WHY I HAVE NOT MRRRIED ---by New York’s most famous bach- elor, who says “I have. told the truth here,which ismore than some of my married {riends would have the courage to do.” osmopolitan June On Sale MOTHERS Give YOUR DAUGHTERS the op- portunity to become proficient in e Designing FASHION DRAWING, SKETCHING, DRESSMAKING, pattern cutting and millinery.

He explained the so-called “gag rup” and gave reasons for its adop- tion and defended it as meritorious. The public must be taken into confi- dence, he said, but the news must come from authentic sources in a spirit_of fairness to all concerned, especially the 4,000 and more teachers who should not be attacked in the press without just cause.
