With addresses hy the heads of the Dis
trlct government. of the schools and OF
the interested citizens association, the
new BrightwOod Park grade school build
ing at 9th and Ingraham streets was for
maAy dedicated yesterday afternoon in
the presence of the Brightwood school
children and many parents.
But the significant feature of the cere-
monies was the voicing by the District
and educational authorities Of the need
for future cooperation and not contro-
versy between the two branches of the
District public service. These expressions
came from both Capt. James F. Oyster.
president of the board of education. and
from H. b. F.. Macfarland, president OF
the District board of Commissioners. The
other speakers were E. L. Thurston, su-
pervising principal of the school district
in which the new school is located: Frank
j. Metcalf. president of the Brightwood
Park Citizens Associations: w. " Cox,
vice president of the board or educatloh
and a resident of the section; WlHam
Nick Clayton, who accepted the building
in behalf OF the citizens association, and
A T. Stuart. superintendent of schools
Rev. Howard G. England, rector of ROCK
Creek parish, pronounced the invocation
and Rev. E. ]. K. Horn. pastor Of the
Br;ghtwood Park M. r. Church, pro-
nounced the benediction.
I'VE of Brightwood Park have been
looking forward to this occasion for seven
years." stated Mr.. Metcalf in the intro
ductory remarks. For / find from the
records of the BrightwoOd Park Citizens
Association that it was seven years ago
when the citizens passed a resolution urg-
ing on the Commissioners the need for
another school building in this section.
He spoke of the growth of the section,
pointing out that in the past ten years
twenty schoolrooms have been added in
buildings in Takoma Park, Petworth and
Rri0bfwOOd Park

Best Efforts for the Children.

Il have special pleasure in coming to
the dedication of a BrightwOOd Parl;
school," stated Capt. Oyster. who was the
next speaker, because 1 remember that
it was the Brightwood Park Citizens AS
ISOLATION which first passed resolutions
expressing appreciation of the efforts Of
the present board Of education to Improve
the schools.
when the board began it's work the
first plank we put in our platform was
our duty to the children. We are striving
to give them the best service the teachers
can give, the best materials for their use
and the best buildings for their comfort.
We want to get better completed build
ings for the children. and with the CO.
operation of the District officials and the
citizens we hope to do that.

Call for Cooperation.

SdA4 AVA WV PSASs~>>e
Commissioner Mcfarland. continuing
the talk of cooperation, said:
THE Commissioners. 1t goes without
saying, have always been deeply in
terested in the schools. They do not
have to protest their interest in the chill
dren, for their record speaks for them.
Moreover, every good citizen In or out
of office shares that interest. Long be-
fore / was Commissioner I began active
work for the schools. when in the old
Columbian kindergarten Association we
est blished the first public school KINDER
gartens paying for them until Congress
saw their value and made them part of
the public schools. What we want now
is cooperation, not controversy mat
will help and not hinder the progress
of the SchOCtS.
Il am here to congratulate you upon
your new school building SO much needed
and so we'll suited to its purpose. For
$50. 600 the total appropriation for site
and building, we have an excellent, III not
an ideal, result in this attractive two
story structure with fire proof stairways
and in other ways up-to-date. VI course,
| SO 900 would have produced building
twice as good. There has been a gradual
evolution in public school building and
the simplest buildings are better than
| the best buildings of twenty-five years
| ago when some of us went to school. II
would be a pity II architects ana Du1Io-
| ers did not learn more about school build
lings every year. We put their new knowl-
edge into use in so far our means will
permit
| Now that you have secured your
building. we hope that you will be the
more active in supporting the Commits
| sioners and the board of education In
securing all that is needed for the proper
housing of the public schools. We asked
! in the estimates last year 1936.OO and
Congress gave $641 900. Later, after they
/ had ordered a special examination with
| the view to ascertaining what was nee
essary for better fire protection, the Com
| misSiOners recommended $359,OOO more
| for that purpose. Congress gave $4,000.
| We have. OF course. done the best we
| could with what was given.
More Money Needed.
Now we are asking for next year
s22lS,OOO This is largely to bring UP
the arrears. 1t is just about the amount
of the Commissioners estimates for the
| past ten years which has not been ap-
propriated by Congress. We want it to
make the public school buildings as near
| ly perfect as possible We need the sup
port of every citizen to obtain it. 1t is

BLACK HAND" IS
BUSY IN CHICAGO
Young Italian Murdered After
Being Threatened
THREE SHOTS ARE FIRED
BIackmailers Tell Him To Get $500
and Leave 1t at Certain Place,
But He Fails To Obey
the Command.
THREE SHOTS ARE FIRED

Chicago. February 3-Murder as the
climax of a series of threatening letters
by the Matchmaking gang of Italians
known as the "Black Hand will give
the newly formed white Hand society
its first opport unity to show its strength.
Following closely upon the receipt Of
several letters demanding money Joseph
Concillo was shot down in cold blood in
the alley in the rear of his home last
night. Three shots were fired into his
body at close range, each shot taking
effect Death was almost instantaneous.
The murderer escaped.
The shooting followed within few
hours an attempt to murder Luciano
Tavaselli and members of his family in
their home. He, too, had received sew
eral letters demanding $500. Three shots
were fired through the window of his
bed room, but none took effect.
Concillo was young man OF small
means, but his uncle. Giuseppe Bruisca-
to, is supposed to be well off and the
blackmailers had demanded that Con-
clio get $500 from his uncle and leave
it In a certain place under penalty OF
death.
Previous demands had been made direct
ly on Bruiscato and his house was dyna-
mited last summer as a result
This murder is the first fatal outcome
of the hundreds of threatening letters
sent to residents of the Italian colony
during the last few years in which the
recipients mostly the wealthy members
of the district, were warned that unless
they deposited certain sums of money in
places indicated they would be killed or
their homes dynamited The latter threat
has been executed more than a dozen
times and on several occasions shots have
been fired through windows of the vic
TINS homes, but so far as known only
one person was injured as d result The
white Hand" society was organized last
November to check the blackmailers. 1t
was formed by professional and business
men. The new organization announced
that it would conduct war of extermina-
ton against the "Black Hand"
