Mr.. HeIgesen Commends Con-
tributory Plan of Retiring
Government Employees.
THINKS THAT CONGRESS
WILL APPROVE SYSTEM
Other Speakers Heard at Association
Meeting-Star's Poll of Depart
ments Warmly Approved.

Declaring that the United States Civil
Service Retirement Association, which
advocates a pension system for super
annuated government employees estab-
lished through an equitable contrib
utory plan.'' was ION the right track.
Representative Henry T. Helgesen of
North Dakota, at the sixteenth annual
convention of the association last night
pledged his personal support to the
cause of the civil employees of the gov
ernment. The convention was held in
c. A. r. Hall. 1412 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. northwest.
Mr. HeIgesen told the delegates to
the convention he had visited the eN-
ecutive departments frequently and
seen old men and old women VINO
ought to be at home" on pensions, but
who were compelled to keep on work
ing to support life.
There are two ways to care Tor these
superannllated employees" said MIR.
Helgcsen "Ome is through charity and
the other through an adequate retife,
ment system. Retirement for the ciVil
employees with pensions has been agi-
tated in Congress for years why
hasn't il gone through Congress
Gives Key to the Situation.
Mr.. Helgesen said that he had recent
ly heard a conversation between SEN
ator and representative which gave
the key to the situation. The repre-
sentative told the senator that 1t was
out Of the question for him to suppor'
a pension for civil service employees
paid out of the Treasury of the United
States, when no similar pension was to
be paid to the aged workers in his
home state. whether in government
employ or not.
IF voted for such a bill. providing
a straight government pension. | never
would be reelected to Congress, said
the representative This is what Mr.
Helgesen told the delegates. He said
that he thought the association was
taking the right way to get legislation
when it supported a retirement system
which called for contributions by the
clerks themselves.
THE government should make some
contribution to the retirement fund,
also" said Mr.. Helgesen. For by
putting through such retirement sys-
tenn as you propose you will render the
government big saving, and if you
bring about this saving you are entitled
to benefit from it. think chat the gov
ernment ought to contribute, perhaps.
to the extent of that saving, which Will
be made by increased efficiency of the
force due to the retirement of super
annuated employees.
Il believe that your present plan is
feasible and that Congress will meet
you half way"

May Come to Washington.

In speaking of the possibility of DR..
Montessori coming to Washington, one
of the woman members of the local
chapter said yesterday:
She is at present in Los Angeles, con-
ducting training schoo, for teachers
in her method of auto-instruction. She
has completed experiments with the
sensory materials which she originated
for use in the education of children be-
tween the ages of six and ten, approx
mately.
Hitherto the work of this educator
has been associated in the public mind
with the development of very young
children, but her research work during
the past few years represents a con-
tinuation of her earlier work and re-
lates her method more directly with
the problem of training children of the
so-called public school age.
"She has expressed the wish to have
made public in America the results of
her latest efforts: and there is reason
to believe she will come to Washington
next winter"

Two-Day Demonstration.

The demonstration at the Hubbard me-
mortal building occupied two days. We'd
nesday afternoon the Montessori Educa-
tional Association demonstrated the meth
cd with group of eight little ones from
the free school at Friendship House. The
children who attended the exhibition class
yesterday were from the families of some
of the best known people in the city and
attend school in Childrens House on Kali
Drama road.
In establishing tuition schools in this
city the association has at the same
time established free schools, where
children of less fortunate neighbor-
hoods receive the same high grade in
struction by teachers trained person
ally by DIR. Montessori at Rome. one
of the striking features of the demon
stration of Wednesday was the utter
disregard for the audience of grown
people. The eight children from Friend
ship House were the center of attrac-
ton. exactly as if they rad been per-
formers upon a stage, but the presence
of an audience in the school did not
disconcert them in the least. They
went through their course of daily in
struction as if they had been alone with
their teachers.
