the Editor Of The Star;

40 tue E~uitor OF The Star:
In the issue of The Star of Saturday the
report of the board of education's meeting
held Friday night states that the charges
or unfair rating made against DR. Lucy
T. Moten, principal of Normal No 2, were
found by the board to be unwarranted. and
the ratings were sustained With the ex-
ception that no charges were filed against
DR.. Lucy E. Moten. and that the charges
that We're filed were not declared unwar-
ranted, the report is correct. A number of
parents and guardians were and are con-
Vinced that the ratings referred to are far
from correct. They proved to the satisfaction
OF the superintendent and the members
OF the board that they had ample reason to
think so, II for no other reason than that
TO some of the interested parties, even while
before the investigating committee The
ratings were sustained with the full con-
sent or the parents committee, because the
board solemnly pledged itself to inaugu-
rate a system of marking records and re-
ports in Normal No. 2 just as soon as the
gentlemen now at work upon it can COM
plete 1t, and that 1t shall hereafter be main
tanned. so as to put an effectual stop to these
annual complaints and for the further rea-
son that no practical way for re-rating the
class suggested itself. after the most care

not itself at this late date suggest one that
would not add to the existing confusion,
SO the rating was sustained by mutual con-
sent. Some time in the near future fuller

OAK GROVE AS A PARK
PLANS OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
CITIZENS ASSOCIATION.

The Columbia Heights Citizens AsSOcia-
ton proposes to make every effort during
the coming winter to have Congress adopt
its view that the oak grove at the north
west corner of 14th street and Columbia
road should be made into a park reserva-
ton. The sentiment on Columbia Heights
has constantly grown In favor of transform
ing this beautiful grove of oak trees into
public park, so that for some years the i'm
provements about 1t have been made IN
confidence that eventually Congress would
pr ovide by legislation for the purchase OF
the grove.
When in 1894 the highway extension plan
was enacted into law provision was made
to extend the park system of this city by
providing In it's second section for 'circles
and reservations corresponding in number
and dimensions with those now existing a
such intersections in the city proper" The
street extension plan so far as 1t applied
to the subdivided parts of the District was
repealed and the provision for parks tell
with It.
The annual report of the superintendent
of public buildings for 1894 shows that
these parks are 301 In number. varying IN
size from few square feet to eighty-tWo
acres. the total area covered by them being
4o5 acres. These are all south Of Florida
avenue. All the territory north of that line
is without single park or reservation. If
the great Rock Creek and Geological parks
are excepted.
The Citizens Hopes.
The repeal of the highway extension act
has destroyed hopes of getting small parks
laid off at the intersection of streets and
avenues, and now the citizens of Columbia
Heights hope to secure a fair equivalent in
larger parks for their section. Adequate
provision for that purpose would require
two or more parks of the size of Franklin
Square, which is more than four acres In
size.
The square. containing the oak grove. at
the northwest corner of 18th street ana
Columbia road Is central. and Is regarded
as peculiarly suitable for park purposes.
The grove Is a remnant of the primeval
forest, and while 1t is not the only one, 1t
is said to be the largest group of forest
trees now remaining on that plateau. A
park a little less than four acres In extent
could be formed here by extending School
street southwark to Columbia road and
condemning all the land to the eastward OF
that line in the square between KenesaW
avenue and Columbia road.

the United States. At the coming conven-
ton it is expected that there VIII be fully

in Washington. This matter has already
been taken up by the G.. A. r. at the re-
cent Denver, COL encampment; the Union
Veteran Legion at Wilmington, Del: the
United Spanish War Veterans at Milwau
kee, Wis, and the American Veterans of
Foreign Service at Altoona, Pa. All these
organizations urged the establishment of
this much-needed shelter for those former
soldiers and sailors whose business calls
them to Washington in connection with
their past service.
That such home is needed here is con-
ceded by all who are interested in the well
fare of the country's fighters.
Another question to be considered is the
proposed closer relationship between all
soldier and veteran organizations. and 1t Is
