Communication to Congress
Gives Reasons for Desire to
Make Use of Schools.
RECOMMENDS PASSAGE
OF BILL NOW PENDING
Quicken Sense of Responsibility Of
Men and Women for Welfare Of
Young" It Demands.

The use of the public schools of the
District of Columbia as community
forums and for other purposes is urged
by the board of Commissioners. In
recommending the passage of a House
and Senate bill providing for the use
of schools for such purposes the Com
missioners today sent communication

lation by requiring the Commissioners

buildings for use as community forums
and to define and fix the territorial
limit of community forums which may
be organized in accordance with the
provisions of the bill, as well as to I'm
pose certain duties upon the board of

AMERICAN MEDICAL HEAD

Resolution by Senator Works,
Christian Scientist.

Surgeon General Rupert Blue of-the
United States public health service, in
a resolution introduced today by Sem
ator Works of California, is asked to re-
sign the presidency of the American
Medical Association to which he re-
Gently was elected.
Senator Works, who is Christian
Scientist, stated in a preamble to the
resolution that the American Medical
Association was conducting a medical
campaign along its own particular line

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-04-11
No Objection to the Work.

The Commissioners called attention
to the fact that there may be some diff
ferences of opinion as to whether the
duty of designating certain public
school buildings for the use of COM
munity forums should be imposed upon
the Commissioners or upon the board
of education. In this connection the
Commissioners state they have no ob-
lection to the work, neither have they
any objection to so amending the Dill
as to impose this duty upon the board
of education.
THE very essence of the educational
service which the public schools can
render to the association of mature men
and women in any community con-
sists in the quickening of the sense OF
responsibility on their part for the wei
fare of the young" the Commissioners
said THE public school itself is es-
sentially a community creation OF the
natural parental sense of responsible
ity of the mature for the welfare of the
immature, which is perhaps the most
important. fundamental and effective
instinct that makes for the Wellbelng
and Improvement of society.
"The use of public school buildings
as authorized by this bill is not intend
ed in any manner to interfere or con-
fiict with the primary and essential
character and purpose of the public
school, but is intended merely to in
crease the usefulness of the buildings
by making them available as commu-
nifty meeting places, for the public edu-
cation of the community through the
open presentation and free discussion
of public questions"
