real spirit. of Opportunity for fair
presentation and free discussion of
public questions" and which was passed
unanimously, was to the effect that as
members of Congress are allowed sa1a-
ries for their secretaries, so the peo-
pie who are performing such Pubic
service as is Miss Frances 8: Farley:
School, who has been largely instru-
mental in the Organization of the forum
and is acting as its secretary, should be
allowed salaries. for secretaries.
with Miss Wilson's views. while in
dorsing heartily the forum idea and
expressing the hope that 1t would
spread to all school buildings in the
triotism of the people of Washington;
was more concerned with getting
money from the United States Treas
ury than it should be.
After brief Introduction by A. ].
Driscoll. president of the Midcity Citi-
Gems Association. Miss Francis Fair
ley. principal of the Grover Cleveland
School, and secretary of the Forum,
gave an account of it's formation.
Advocates Proper Remuneration.
Miss Farley had no sooner resumed
her seat. than Miss Wilson asked per-
mission to speak and introduced
resolution intended to provide in
definite and systematic way that the
school principals who render or un-
dertake such public service as that
which Miss Farley is performing shall
be properly remunerated for this SerV-
ice out of public funds.
Every public schoolhouse is to be
the capitol of its neiShborhood. said
Miss Wilson in urging the vital I'M
portance of this action. IF the citi-
zens are to assemble in these build
ings, as now their representatives as
semble in the buildings that the citi-
zens provide for them, then the citizens
must. as matter of course. have the
responsible service of clerk or sec
rotary in each district. just as every
body of their representatives has such
service. Surely Congress will see the
point. They could not get along at all
in businesslike fashion without some
body definitely engaged as clerk to
take care of the detail work of their
meeting. We must have somebody re-
sponsible in each community, and Con-
aress cannot. and We ought not. to eX
pect the public school principals to do
this work without being relieved of
some of their time-consuming and I'M
important present burdens which
should be handled by subordinates. and
without official recognition and proper
remuneration for their service as COM
munity secretaries"
Genuine Forum of Democracy"

missioner Newman, in opening his ad-
dress. whether we appreciate it or
not. the future will recognize that the
Inauguration of the first genuine for
