FOR CAPITAL ARE URGED

Warning Against Indiscriminate
Use of Buildings.

The movement to have Congress
grant the right to allow the use of
public school buildings in this city as
social centers was renewed yesterday
afternoon at a meeting of the Grade
Principals Association at the Frank
lin School. Miss Margaret Wilson.
daughter of the President. spoke in
favor Of this movement. The question
of allowing wider use of school build
ings was approached from numerous
angles. addresses being made by a
number of school officials.
Miss Wilson sounded warning
against allowing the use of the build
ings indiscriminately. She advocated
the opening of the schools as neighbor-
hood clubhouses. but believed that the
permission for their use by organiza-
tions should be within the power of
the board of education.
Miss Wilson suggested that some one
should be designated to plan social
centers in each neighborhood This
person should have the work of launch
ing the movement. with you teachers
the rest will lie,' she said. She urged
the principals to encourage these
neighborhood movements, but thought
they should have no authority over the
Organizations, saying that the persons
in them should have the privilege OF
saying in what activities they would
engage.
