EDITORIAL AND MAGAZINE PAGE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, HIS. m THE SCHOOL AND THE CHILD, ; It was but a few months ago that the' town was 'torn this way and that by what became known as "the. third ward school fight" It was a war in which women were at the front and when utieasy laid the head that 'wore the aldermanlo crown. But the third wardere finally got what they wanted and now the prize has materialised in the-city's first really modernly designed and equipped school house. Within a week or 10 days teachers and ' children will be invited in and Charlotte people who take pride in educational Interests will have something more than a barn-like schoolhouse to show visitors. The building Is located near the old Victor. Mills and oocuples the upper section of a lot half a block wide, and 585 feet deep, which means that It is provided with the essential asset of a spacious playground. The building itself rep resents an outlay of 425,000, and is arranged for the conneotion of annexes whenever these may be needed. ' It was designed after the most approved ideas In modern ,schoolhouses and this Is to say that it Is arranged for the best advantages of light and heat and . ventilation.- In the matter of win dows It does' not go to the extremes, but the maxi mum decree of Jlgh'tl is provided to the greater perfection in the system or proper heating ana ventilation. ' There Is. system In the arrangement of class-rooms, rest rooms, cloak rooms and play rooms that works to the greatest convenience. In stead of a common library there is an Individual library for each room and this will operate to the greater utilization of the books by the children and to encouragement of attention to the books. In arrangement and equipment the rooms are standard. 1 We believe that in the' third ward school Charlotte may lay claim to a schoolhouse built and provided with all that Is ideal in educational work. .If the Wldjlrir commlttee;'aia"'not.JhaVe more 6Y less contention In coming together on detail, then it was a committee of the exceptional In experi ence, but whatever of cross purpose might have' existed were manifestly blended into a harmony that has produced excellent reaults. A visit to this new examplo In the art 'of 'schoolhpuso con struction and equipment will only .serve to sharpen the expectations of the city for further expendi tures of money along the line of giving' the 'rising generation an expansion of these bettor educational facilities and It will Inspire renewed, pressure for the establishment of the long-needed-central edu cational place for 'which the ward schools are feedefs-i-for a High School building.'" It wlil bring the people of Charlotte somewhat more in accord with The Observer's original con tention that the proper thing for Charlotte In tfie way of a High School could scarcely be provided for with less than 1500,000. It nald when forced to submit to the cutting down of the bond issue to one-half, or J250.00O, that the people would have to vote for more within the course of a year or so, and If they are still insisting on a High School, they are up against that proposition right now. Part of the original issue has gone Into the third ward school and. the-rise in building mate rial has done the rest for the original appropria tion, i If Charlotte i not inclined to piddle away further time on a great proposition, it will tell the biillding committee to go ahead with construction plans and put up a High School building worth ' while, 'one which will bear ovidenop of having been provided by a rich and growing community and one that 'will anticipate the' educational require ments of the city for the immediate future, for -it will not be long until Charlotte will have to pro vide two High. Shoots or remain in the rear ranks of educational communities. Charlotte has been too stingy with her school money,. The day has come when the people roust give as much attention to providing the children with a wealth of education as they have done to laying up gross-wealth for themselves. The chil dren of today are going' to be the foundation for the future wealth and prosperity of the town In which they. live, and the town that lays out the most -money in giving' the children an education : Is the town that Is building for the greatest as sured degree of prosperity. nesa of the Wilson policies, whose (falth... in .the safety-of. his guidance finds Justification in the safety which has marked the past course of bis Administration. ' The' Nation will submit ' to ' no senseless assault on the President and for no merely partisan opposition to his policies. ! If the Republican party insist; upon a political warfare on the plans President Wilson has worked out for the establishment of this country on a peace basis, then we may even now-forecast what is going to happen in the elections 61 1920. ' , The Philadelphia . Record recalls the . policies adopted by the Republican party in the recon struction days and "the' great and glittering fail ure" that resulted. Drawing on history. The Record reminds the Republicans that "Lincoln, a Ken- tuckian by birth and sympathetic to the- Southern point of view In many ways, had worked out a plan of rehabilitation of the seceding States which OnlyTils untimely death prevented htm from put ting into execution. Andrew Johnson, a Tennes sean. who succeeded him, endeavored to carry out the plans thus formulated, and was soon in bitter conflict with the radical Republican elements in the House and Senate. These had no patience with the conciliatory Ideas of Lincoln, and tried to Impeach Johnson. The country was kept in an uproar for a dozen years, and the South was im poverished and embittered by the mlsgovernment forced by arms upon many States. The whole era of reconstruction, extending from 1865 to 1877, was one of the most deplorable in American his tory." A truthful narrative and a revelation of the causes that many Northern people do not even yet understand which yet hold the South "solid." Wilt the Republicans, In mere arrogance of power, make the same mistake now they made in 1865? They seem to be heading that way. "They have no time," says The Record, "for any plans care fully worked out by President Wilson and his ad visers, but" -and here' is where the danger not only to themselves but to the country comes in "they want the whole Job supervised by commit tees of Senators and Representatives, with Repub licans in control, of course, and an abundance of patronage on the side." They would take matters out of the hands of President Wilson and the men who have so ably sd vised with him, and place' them under the political supervision of such statesmen as Mann, Lodge, Penrose, Smoot and Cannon. They would give the. United States reconstruction along strictly Republican, partisan lines'. They would establish the Nation on a political basis to the elimination of all Vthe great ' Industsrlal and commercial advantages Into Which It , has been brought; .(hey would, discount all the opportunities Which have been Opened to this country through the war to the adoption of a strictly political policy of Government, jhis appears to be the ambition of. Republican statesmanship,, and it is pursuit of that ftrnbillon that is destined to bring disappoint ment to Republican political hopes. They will find that the elections of 1918, 'at best, will have but "drest" them "in a little brief authority." salary $2,500; Dilworth. membership SIS., property value 116,500; salary 11,100; Belmont Park, mem bership 44t, property-value $20,000, salary, $1,200; ChadwickV membership 2$5, property value $10, $00, salary $976;' Seversvlile, membership 403, property value $1,500, salary $1,040; Hawthorne Lane, membership 301; property value $60,000, sal ary $1,800; Spencer Memorial, membership 235, property value $13,600, salary $465. The Advocate doubts "If the Methodists of any of our larger towns have planned more wisely than our brethren in Charlotte." It is in evidence to' the establishment of good business tact on part of the Methodists that their congregations are located so as to touch every point of th,e compass, and there are few, even in remote suburban set tlements, who cannot be cared for from these working centers. It is a city of enterprising Meth odism which Is this, week playing host to the Conference. TO THE RESCUE r T .i V PERSPICACITY, RATIONS. RF.CONCIHATION. It Is for "perspicacity' and rations that Prince Lichnowsky now comes forward with an appeal. As the Allied Powers have an abundance of both they may be inclined to treat kindly with this new champion of leniency for the Germans, the "Overwhelming majority" of whom, It now appears, "did not desire the war," and "earnestly wish for reconciliation." Reconciliation is going to come, all right, but the German Government, in, behalf J of the people who did not want war, Is going to find that it will have to pay the price and it will also find that Allied "reconciliation" comes high. COriiDNT FILL THE ORDER. A German "bluff" had exposure through the Al lied demands that 160 submarines be turned over and -German objection to the specification, which was (hen altered to include "all" German subma rines. It then developed that Germany had not more than 100 of these craft, the remainder hav ing been sent to resting places on the bottom of the sea. What The Observer is now anticipating with some degree of pleasure Is a German state ment of the number of submarines that were taken! care of over here and their probable resting places along the Atlantic coast. We feel sure of Claiming one In the vicinity of Hatteras. "The savings habit" having been inspired through the war stamps campaigns, the Government Is now considering the admirable proposition of keeping the good work going. A fine result, of the war would be the making of 'the-' Americans a' Nation of savings bankers. , ' f . Governor Whitman Is dying hard. He will not give It up until after there has been "a Judicial review" of the rejected ballots tn every county in the Slate. Whitman will not be satisfied until he finds out just what the average American thinks of the man who is not a good loser. AX AMERICAN STATESMAN. , In view o.f the fact that the name of Elihu Root has been much' discussed In connection with the United States' Mission to the Peace Conference, it vviH be interesting to learn the views this premier Republican and former Secretary of State takes of the outlook. His vision is one of confidence in a wlHe conclusion to the peace negotiations, Mr. Root delivered an address last Sunday at the Ca thedral of St. John the Divine, of which compara tively scant notice has appeared in the press. It was an Intelligent arraignment of Germany and a clear conception of the. penalties Germany will be called upon to pay for her' misdeeds. He is quoted by the New York correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor ns saying that "from the world struggle for freedom, the greatest event of modern history, y which the world learned the lesson of sacrifice, will flow consequences to all Nations and to all the peoples Ih them which the student of public affairs cannot yet begin to understand or with any certainty to prophesy in their entirety." Iiut the1 point The Observer would impress on the people is th confidence Mr. Root places in the integrity of purpose of , the President of the United States. "There can be no fear,," he said, "but that America can be counted on to prove the wisest of Nations in meeting the demands of the readjustment period." Mr. Root, in statesmanship nnd in patriotism, stands out in bold and glorious contrast to some of the leaders of his party, whose attitude in recent days has. reflected credit neither, upon themselves nor their party. The proposition to contest the seat in the Ren fit e of Newberry, the man who defeated Henry Ford, has been kicked out of court, and In that The Observer sees what it believes to be a whole some precedent. ' "5. RETURN TO IIEALTHY CONDITIONS. On the mere report that restrictions on cotton - exportation ar.e going to be removed the market showed signs of an immediate return to healthful -. conditions. ' As a matter of course, the people un- 1 derstand that restrictions - were necessary during the progress of the ( war to insure safety against any" cotton" falling into the hands of German'"- ' and lt was lack of cotton. that helped to shorten the war but since hostilities have ceased the ne ressity for this strict "embargo is removed.
