Graduates of Washington high schools held a banquet in New York recently and adopted a resolution urg- ing that the next high school erected here be named after Prof. Edward A. Paul, first principal of Central High Rchool, according to a letter Commis- ioner Frederick A. Fenning received vesterday from Frederick McC. Smith, ormerly of Washington. Replying to the letter, the Commis- sioner stated that while he did not customarily commit himself in ad- vance on such matters, he would be glad to do so In this case and support the suggestion.

Stayton, head of the Associa- tion Against Prohibition, at the same | time was issuing a statement saying| that the drys are now demanding more | money for law enforcement, a r}d there- by admitting that the law which they have o often declared perfect is by no means perfect. Mr. Stayton said that the testimony of Gen. Andrews and of United Sv.u'tes District Attorney Buckner of New York had indicated it would take 750,000,000 a vear to enforce prohi- bition. i Prof. Fisher, expressing his opin- jon that the “drys” had made a their educational program after the enactment of the Volstead act, said “Prohibition made its greatest strides when the evils of aleohol were stressed. It lost ground as soon as that emphasis was lost. “The public which had not already been converted to prohibition, and who never understood the solld rea- sons for i, when preached to by judges and clergymen and exhorted to obey the law merely because it “vas law, have acquired the impression that no other reason for obeying the law exists. They have acquired the whimsical can be on the No one law, resting only Declares Education Is Needed. “What is needed is to go back to first principles and educate the public to understand that’ there’s a reason and a good one.” Prof. Fisher called attention to the fact that the recently published sta- tistics of the senior class at Yale Col- lege showed that 80 per cent of that class are “wet” in their sympathies. This is a larger proportion than the figures for Harvard last year, he said, and far larger than the recent survey of 11 colleges, mostly in the Middlewest, which showed that .two- thirds of the men and four-fifths of the women students favor strict en- forcement of prohibition. “Not only is the Yale student sentl. ment prevailingly ‘wet,’ but the city and State in which Yale is located are among the wettest in the Na- tion. Connecticut did not ratify the cighteenth amendment and recently the names for Washington schools 1nd the Commissioners approve them. 3 Miss Gordon Holmes, England’s only woman stockbroker, began her busi < career as a stenogr refused an opportunity to tighten up | its inadequate enforcement legisla- tion.

Moreover, the students are just at that age at which we are often told prohibition is corrupting the youth, and with ap- parent justification. If, therefore, anywhere in this great country prohibition ought to prove a rank fallure it should be among such a group of susceptible young men. T have, therefore, taken [ pains to ascertain the actual cts in the case, with every desire, after ascertaining them from every available source, to face them square- 1y, exactly as they are. ¥ Not_relying on my own impres- sions T asked the eight authorities who are most familiar with student disclpline, as these know the facts at first hand and far better than any others. At least two of these elght men 1 knew to be strongly opposed to prohibition. One I know to be strongly in favor. The attitude of the other five I do not know positive- but believe they are mostly op- ed.” “Thus tradition . Fisher quoted from Frederick es, the outgoing dean of Yale W. Mendell, the incoming | President James R. Angell of the university and others. Fewer (ases for Discipline. His own conclusions, based on these authorities, he gave as follows: “The number of discipline cases in which drinking is a factor is now very much smaller than before prohibition. “The improvement has been espe- clally notlceable in the last few years. “Such drinking as still remalns is often more concentrated and uproar- fous than before prohibition. When liquor that was largely beer was easily obtainable, many got it, got it often, and got it in small quantities. Now that it is harder to get, fewer get it, get it more seldom, but when they do get it, make up for lost time. “Prohibition created a_defiant atti- tude in many students. It is unpopu- lar even among many who do not try to circumvent the law. “Judging from such discusslons as 1 have heard, Yale College is no ex- ception. Throughout the country the same evidence is available that the present outery against prohibition gives an exaggerated picture of the evils complained of.” agg, who has been at the Douglass & Phillips Home They Are Different Exhibit Home of a New Group at '815 Marietta PL.
