TO END LONG CONTEST
OVER SITE FOR SCHOOL
District Heads Making Personal In
quiry Into Langdon-Woodridge
Controversy.

An early settlement of the contro-
versy over which of two school sites
recommended for the Langdon-W Wood
ridge district is to be selected is eX-
pected to follow an inspection of the
property made by the District Com
missioners this afternoon.
One of the sites, located between 18th
and Goth. Monroe and Newton streets
northeast. contains five acres, and may
be purchased. The other. situated at
Rhode Island avenue and oath street.
contains but a single acre, and would
have to be condemned. Each piece of
property would cost about $4,000. The
former has been recommended twice by
the board of education, but the latter is
said to have an advantage in that it is
located nearer the school center of
population.
The question as to which site should
be selected has aroused much interest
among residents in the section affected,
and resulted in several former mem
bers of the Rhode Island Avenue SUB
urban Citizens Association withdraw
ing and forming a new association.
Many communications growing out of
the controversy nave been received by
he Commissioners. On their inspection
trip this afternoon the District heads
were accompanied by Capt Mark
Brooke. assistant engineer commission
er, and DIR. William Z. Woodward,
health officer.

Bergson's Philosophy.

John Burroughs, in the Atlantic.
There are two short sentences in Berg
son which hold the key to his philosophy.
Living nature" he says, 'is more and
better than a plan in course of realiza-
ton" And again. Everything is OBJ
scure in the idea Of creation if we think
of things that are created. and a thing
that creates" This view Is the work of
our practical intellect. When we see a
house. We think of the builder. when we
see n watch, we infer the maker. and
this attribute of mind is necessary to
our successful dealing with concrete
things; but in organic nature the house
and the watch are always being made,
and every day is a day of creation; the
forms of life are like the clouds in the
summer sky. ever and never the same;
the vital currents flow forever, and we
rise to the surface like changing. rides
cent bubbles that dance and play Tor a
moment, and are succeeded by others,
and ever others. The vital impulse alb
sorbs Rergson's attention, mot things
made: but things in the making; not self
ma :ntaining states. but only changing
states. Rest is never more than appar-
cnt. or rather. relative. This is the
way Rergson gets rid of the old concep-
ZION of design and 1inalism in nature. He
thinks of the creative impulse OF tenu-
ency in terms of the mobile, the meal
culable, the ever-changinS.
