ment, Civic Federation.

Work which was started almost a year
ago by the. woman's welfare department

when built and opened, was great that
it was decided the Washington navy
yard also should have its own eating
place. From this beginning the derart-

Opinions of Officials.

The school officials believe school
stadium would save the schools much
difficulty as we'll as some expenditure
of money. School activities are continu-
ally N progress which need large piece
of ground with a suitable place for spec
tators. The foot ball games of the high
schools this year, for instance, have
caused considerable trouble because of
the difficulty in securing d suitable field,
where the participating boys and
gir-s might them in comfort. The
base bah games occasion similar trouble.
Mr.. Stuart, when he was superintendent,
of Schools. advocated that a stadium be
built in Potomac Park. This, he said
would be available not only for the
schools. but for other District organiza-
tons which wished to hold large athletic
meets and similar events.
The new site for Central High School,
which has been suggested by some as a
suitable place for the erection of a sta
dun, was declared today to be not level
enough at present and too expensive to
grade.
