AID FOR SCHOOL ASKED

Members of the Mount Pleasant Citi-
zens' Association sat up and took notice
| last night when G.. Grosvenor Dave. who
| has just returned from n lecture tour COW
ering eighty Western towns declared that
the peopIc Of Washington lack civic
spirit
Impressions gathered on my trip con-
vince me that We fail to take our town
seriously" said Mr.. Dave. TRUE, Mr..
Macfarland and a number of others are
working nobly to defend the half-and-
half plan. but they are only a handful
OF the residents of the District. We
should all get that civic spirit.
Can Give Is Aces and Beat Is.
The smallest towns I visited have stir
ring within them a spirit to serve their
towns They can give us aces and beat
us. Even though We have so many
hurdles to jump-as the two committees
of Congress. and the commission form OF
gOvernment-neverthele we've got to
take our city more seriously. And We can
do this through the citizens associa-
tions"
The report of the committee on
schools urged the Commissioners to
take some action toward relieving con-
ditions at the Johnson-Powell School.
where there are so many pupils in the
third and fourth grades that they have
been divided into two sections. each
section occupying the school half the
day. The report suggests that nearby
houses he rented pending the erection
of the proposed Powell addition. on

In advocating more entrance to Rock
Creek Park. several members called it
"the rich mans mark" One member
said: The poor man can get in the
park at either end. and if his legs hold
out he can walk through. 1t is an
automobile park. but is of little use
to the general public.

Wanted Light Cruisers.

In the matter of light cruisers. which
all the other nations have been building
in considerable quantities of late years.
the United States is woefully deficient
A modern light cruiser cannot be classed
as such unless she has a speed Of twen-
ty-five knots. We have exactly three
such ships. They are ten years old and
make exactly twenty-five knots speed
AS compared with this. it may be point
ed out that Great Britain has forty-eight
Of which twenty can make thirty knots
or better. Germany at the commence
ment of the war had eighteen such ships,
built or building. Japan has six build
ing. France. like the United States, has
neglected To build this class of ship.
1t Is rather remar BILE that this should
be the case. There Is no country with
which we could conceivably 60 to war
on equal terms that has not a great
mercantile marine of its own and ID not
to some extent dependent on its sea-
