on the sign itself. The result is that every
outsider now in Washington, every veteran
who attends the encampment, and the
greater number of the citys permanent res
idertS are obtaining education in the
capitals history OF the utmost interest to
them and the greatest possible value to
Washington.
This work has been done by a special
committee on Points Of Historic Interest"
headed by Mr.. w. P. Van Wickle, a prom
fnent local business man. and made up Of
men who have given their time and atten-
ton to study of Washingten's development
About 800 places of notable interest were
selected by this body out of a thousand or
more suggested to 1t. These have now all
been marked The work Of this committee
is regarded. therefore. as one Of the most
distinctive features Of the thirtysixth ma
tional encampment and as rejecting the
greatest possible credit on both the special
committee headed by Mr.. Van Wickle and
the executive committee. which provided the
necessary funds.
