GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS
RESOLUTIONS RECENTLY ADOPT
ED GIVEN CIRCULATION.
The Expression of Citizens Association
Two Children Narrowly Escape
Death-General Items.

In conformity with instructions issued
by the Citizens Northwest Suburban Asso-
citation at its last meeting. printed copies
of two resolutions-One bearing upon the
unsightly condition of land lying outside
of the city limits, and the other upon the
appropriations made by Congress during
it's recent session for use in the District of
Columbia are being circulated among the
taxpayers of the westerly section of the
city and the suburbs generally for consid-
GRAFTON. Mr.. Charles c. Lancaster, presi-
dent of the association, whose name APP
pears on the circular, invites an expression
of views from all recipients, as public
spirited citizens, such expressions to be
laid before the association at its next
meeting in June.
The substance of the first resolution was
printed in The Star at the time of its
adoption.
In conclusion, it declares that unless
the grievances cited are promptly removed
we will invoke the majesty of the law to
remove said nufsanceS; and If the present
law is not adequate to meet the mischief
we will endeavor to secure such legislation
will remove the nuisance complained
off,
The second resolution is prefaced with
an itemized account of the appropriations.
amounting in all to $36, 421 ,491, made for
and to be used in the District, and recites
that of this sum the taxpayers of the Dis
trct will be called upon to pay at least
$5,0O0,O00, leaving $31, 421. 497 to be paid out
of the national treasury by the 100000
people Of the forty-five states of the Union,
which is less than one million for each
state. while the District of Columbia, with
a population of less than 100000, contrib
utes 100000 for the Improvement of the
national capital
1t is further recited that these appropria-
tons are the result of years of educational
work on the part of the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia, in convincing Congress
and the American people that the national
capital belongs to the people of the United
States and not alone to the people of the
District and that both patriotism and
tional pride demand that the Congress of
the United States should on behalf of the
American people, be liberal in appropria-
lions for the developments and beautiflca-
ton of the capital.

the Richmond Training School for Kin
dergartners. and they are thoroughly
qualified to do the work.
So long as we thought that education
was stuffing process we were at a loss
to know what to do with young children.
But as soon as we discovered that edu-
cation Is process of development,
natural process. In which the teacher
simply assists nature In the development
of the child's mind, the kindergarten
came as logical and inevitable result
OF the discovery. And so we may say IN
all reverence that the stone which the
builders rejected has become the mead

at the very foundation of our system OF
Instruction.
