Urges Community Center Plan.

Declaring that the community center
will generate true democracy in the
people, Miss Wilson said:
The community center movement
the movement for the common council
Eanization of the committee of the
hole citizenship. is spreading through
out the nation. We are at the initia :
ton OF this movement systematically
and consistently in Washington.
For the past four years some fine
American-spirited individuals have de-
voted themselves to demonstrating the
possibility of the full use of the pub
lie sChoolhouses. for instance those at
the Grover Cleveland building.
But now we come to a more impor-
tant beginning. The Park View Citi-
Zens' Association. as an association,
plans definitely to evolve out of its
character as a private, more or less ex-
elusive body, into an association of the
whole adult citizenship of this COM
Tnunity-a true public association. In
stead of having a private. rented meet
ing place, IT plans to make the new
Park View building its center and
headquarters in exactly the spirit OF
the old New England community.
The Park View building is to be for
this local district, fundamentally, VIVA,

Seas Length and Breadth.

THE greatest length Of the Baltic

$50 miles. Its greatest width is 400
miles. It has a coast line of more than
5000 miles, and an area of 116,3s7
square miles"
1t was on this basin, the lecturer
went on to say. that the greatest COM
mercial power in the middle ages, the
Hanseatic League of wealthy trading
cities, grew up. The Hansa, he said,
drawing its strength from union and
order, rose to tremendous power, in
Guiding within it's organization some
of the rich inland cities of Germany

causes for it's decline. he said, lay in

Other Speakers and Themes.

Following Miss Wilson, President Nc
Grath introduced Corporation Counsel
Conrad H. Syme. who took the place of
Commit ssioner Newman on the program +;
Henry F. Blair, president of the board
of education. and DIR. George F. Bower
man, librarian of the Public Library.
Mr.. Syme declared that the community
center will lead to character building
and the development of a higher citi-
zenship. President Blair gave assur-
ances that the board of education will
cooperate in the development of the
centers. and saw no reason why ar
rangements could not be made to have
the school principals serve as the di-
rectors of the centers, although he
pointed out that the board of education
has no funds with which to compen-
safe them for the additional work. DR..
Bowerman discussed some of the prac-
teal features of establishing library
facilities in connection with the centers.
Emory Wilson, principal of Central
High School, in a brief address. in
dorsed the plan for use of the school
houses by community centers. No eff
fort was made to crystalline the sug-
gestions into action. as officials of the
association decided it would be better
to give the residents of that section an
opportunity to consider the matter
thoroughly before proceeding with the
organization of the center.

BALTIC AND IT'S SHORES
DESCRIBED BY DR.. GORE
Cities Worthy Successors to Famed
Trading Marts Of the Mid
die Ages.
Extracts From Address on Theme
Delivered Before the National
Geographic Society.

1.-THE Baltic and It's Shores" were de-
scribed by Dr. James Howard Gore in
a lecture before members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society at New Ma
sonic Temple last night. DR.. Gore
spoke of this great inland sea as one
with an Importance in the commerce
of the world from the time of the stone
age down to the present day, as wa
ter body for whose control countless
bitter wars have been waged, and as
stage wherein the Scandinavian. the
German and the Slav have clashed from
times immemorial. The speaker also
pointed out the elements in the struc-
ture of this sea that have significant
bearing upon the present world war.
OF the isolation of the sea, he said:
There is probably no sea in the
world to which access is more difficult,
more intricate and more dangerous
than that of the Baltic. 1t is entered
from the North sea by way of the
Skagerrack, between Denmark and
Norway. and the Kattegat. between
Denmark and Sweden. So tightly is
the Kattegat closed that the Baltic "

Advocates Sufficient Salary.

The salary should be fixed so as to
assure the strongest possible man for
this work. OF course. there must be
the special assistants in charge of
gymnasium work for men and for
women. boys club director, girls
club director. librarian and so on. But
the prime essential is the organizing
and executive community secretary.
With these two elements-the pubic
schoolhouse as the headquarters of the
true community organization of the
adult citizenship of this whole neigh
borhood. and of the similarly organic
ed association of the youth, and the
community secretary. serving under the
adults and directing the activities Of
hte older boys and girls-you will be
equipped to make the most valuable
contribution that any community can
make to the welfare of the city and
nation. For you will have established
an efficient light and power plant of
democracy true and adequate school
of public spirit

clerk served the citizenship of the old

clerk served the citizenship of the old
New England town.
The community center is as impossi-
BILE without the community secretary
as a newspaper would be without an
editor. or a church without a minister.
or a saloon without a saloonkeeper or
any other institution without person
who represents and serves the inter-
ests of that institution.
The ideal arrangement is to have
the same community official who is
employed over the children in their use
of the building serve under the adults
in their assembly there. and also take
charge of the organized club and rec
reation activities of the youth-that is
to say, the principal should be made
the community secretary.
But IL he is to occupy this larger
office he must be relieved of all teach
ing. except possibly the teaching of
civics to the eighth-grade pupils. and
he should be paid practically three
times as much as principals have been
paid. He is to be responsible for three
times as large a service as that which
the principals have rendered.

Theme Is Discussed by Miss
Margaret Wilson and Ed
ward ]. Ward.
PARK VIEW ASSOCIATION
ADOPTS THE SUGGESTION
Song in Honor of Presidents Daugh-
ter Feature of Meeting Held
Last Night.

Miss Margaret Wilson and Edward j.
Ward the latter of the bureau OF edu-
cation, last night told gathering OF
more than 700 Park View residents
that an opportunity is presented TOT
the organization in that section OF
community center that will serve as
model, not only for Washington, put
for the entire nation.
The meeting, which was held IN the
Whitney Avenue Christian Church, was
the most largely attended in the his
tory of the Park View Citizens Asso-
citation. many persons being unable to
gain admittance to the building.
The suggestions made by the Presl-
dents daughter whose efforts largely
were responsible for the passage OF
the bill authorizing the use of school
buildings as social centers, and MIR.
Ward. a pioneer in the community CEN
ter movement. were received with en-
thuSiasm Resolutions Incorporating
the suggestions will be presented at
the next meeting and plans commenced
for organizing the center by the time
the new Park View School is COM
pleted which will be before the begin
ming of the next school year.

Outlines the Procedure.

The government official outlined the
procedure which he thought should be
followed in making the Park View or
ganization model one. He urged the
association to become the sustaining
membership of the community center;
advised the employment of the princi-
pal of school in which the center will
be established as the community ex-
ecutive' and proposed the raising Of a
thousand-do fund in the community
for the salaries of the executive and
his assistants. Mr.. Ward also advo-
Gated the installation in the school
building of a ballot box and complete
voting equipment. In short, his recon-
mendations proposed that the center
be operated on a business basis. with
some one at the head of it charged
with the responsibility of management.
Mr.. Wards recommendations were in
dorsed by Miss Wilson, who discussed
several of them in detail. She began
by saying that she felt sure the spirit
shown at the meeting was going to de-
velop a genuine community center in
Park View.

greeted with the singing by the audi
ence of a song written in her honor.
The words were set to the tune or

IL jlst means know is loyal:
- :nr she has proved herself sincere;
so is for her openness of vision;

them Come to Park View Cented." to
the tune of Maryland, My Maryland"
and There's No Better Club Anywhere
to the air of "E Zip Addy. Ay. Ay.'
The Park View Orchestra played sew
eral stirring pieces, and by the time
