1t is possible a movement will be
started by educators of the District to
have Congress appropriate money for
the permanent operation of the sum-
mer Fairgrounds. The work done this
summer is said to be especially cred
liable by those who have investigated.
The summer teaching in the industrial
subjects and the class tutoring Is paid
for by the pupils themselves, who stage
frequent entertainment for the rails
ing of finances.
E L. Thurston, superintendent of pub
lie schools. yesterday expressed a desire
for the continuance of the vacation play
ground activities. Prof. Thurston de-
clared the children made more satisfying
progress in the summer classes because
the pupils realized they were attending
voluntarily. which made them more eager
to learn. Because of the program-work
in the morning and play in the afternoon
the pupils developed both physically
and mentally. This summer is the Sec
ond vacation the work has been under
taken.

in anticipation of the meeting tomorrow
OF pan-American diplomats with Secre-
tary of State Lansing at the Hotel
Biltmore
Their general plan is to unite into .

a group that shall be neither like the
old Diaz cientifcos on the one hand
nor the factional revolutionists on the
other.

But I would never lend myself to put

All classes in Mexico are reported hos

Secretary Lansing are Of the same opin-
ion and that an occupation by armed
force is out OF the question. at least for
the present.
These same diplomats are understood
to favor the general plan proposed by
Col. Iturbide and his associates. and are
opposed to recognition of any of the fac
tional leaders or their dummies.

No specific candidate is put forward
for the presidency by the new party.
1t suggests that the line of least re-
sistance in Mexico would be to restore
the legitimate line of the Madero
regime by selecting one of his cabinet
for the presidency.
