POLITICS IN SCHOOLS
FEARED FROM NEW PLAN
Southwest Washington Citizens Pro-
test Against Elimination of
Board of Education.
Speakers Declare It Would Be Hard
to Find Persons Willing to Serve
on Advisory Board.

Opposition to any change in the pres
ent form. Of government of the public
school system was voiced by members
of the Southwest Washington Citizens
Association at meeting last night in
the Jefferson School A resolution
protesting against the proposed aboli-
ton of the board of education and to
vest full authority in the dictatorship
of the schools in the Commissioners
was unanimously adopted. following an
address by Prof. c. n. Thompson, prin-
cipal of the school.
Prof. Thompson, who said he had
been teacher in the public schools
since 1895, told the members of the
association he had grave doubts II the
Commissioners would be able to find
five philosophical citizens willing to
serve on proposed advisory board of
education. with no powers but those
granted by the. Commissioners. The
speaker also explained that in his
opinion the present system of conduct
ing the work of the public schools Is
the best and that if the work of di-
recting the school system is vested
in the Commissioners he was afraid
politics might creep in. Politics should
be kept out Of the schools" he said.
Address by Mr.. Post.
Following the opening of the session,
Louis F. Post assistant secretary of
labor, delivered an address on "A Great
and Glorious City"
He said city to be great and glori-
Gus must be properly placed originally
and must be built upon a waterway.
He explained, however, that he did not
mean that the city must be directly
on body of water, but that it must
have direct connections. He told of
the wonderful development of Brad
ford. Pa. which is inland. and not
on any body of water. but said that
five railroads running there have di-
rect communicati ton with the water
ways. Taking up the subject of taxa
ton, the speaker said a city cannot
be built by enforced taxation. He said
enforced taxation puts men and Wome n
in opposition to the development of
the city. He declared a city ought to

ride free.
Mr.. Post referred to the ground of a
city as it's gold mine He said Wash

than q hundred years ago. but declared
that as soon as it became known that
the capital city of the nation was to
up with leaps and bounds, until the
building sites were speculated in all
over the world. He called attention to
the fact that some of the owners of
land here possibly have never seen it
and that they are residents of other
countries who are holding the land at
value of thousands of dollars. He

MOTHERS OPPOSE CHANGE.
Brightwood Association for Contin-
uation of Present School Plan.

To the Editor Of The Star:
By the president and members of the
Brightwood ParentTeache Assooia-
ton I am directed to call your atten-
ton to the proposed plans for abol-
ishing the District of Columbia board
of education or for having the power
of appointing its members transferred
from the Supreme Court to the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia.
The mothers believe that either of
these proposed changes would be detri-
mental to the best interests of the
public schools, and as the education
of their children lies very close to the
mothers hearts they entreat the chief
editors of the daily papers to do their
utmost to discourage the proposed
change.
Only body which holds permanent
appointment for it's members can be in
a position to use its best judgment in
the appointment of members for the
board of education, unbiased by consid-

Suggestion in Board of Trade.

AT the meeting of the Board of Trade
December 20, ,Odell S. Smith, chairman
of the committee on public order, point
ed out the need of furnishing the pres
ent armories and made an eloquent ap-
peal to tho members of the board to
join in raising a fund for that pur-
pose.
"A considerable number of business
men. some of whom have served in the
guard and still retain an interest in
1t, and others who have not served, but
who recognize it public institu-
ton. to the success of which they would
gladly contribute, have indicated that
they would be glad to assist in raising
the fund necessary to furnish the
armories.
Ten thousand dollars expended for
furniture and carpets would make a
wonderful difference in the matter of
making them places which would at
tract young men to the service and
have a marked influence on the eff
cheney of the command.
1.-The fund will be disbursed under
the direction of board of officers, who
will purchase the needed articles from
Washington merchants and apportion
the same to the various units of the
guard.

Acknowledgment of Washing

81 am so glad that there are more

The foregoing is a portion of a letter
recently received from a friend in
France by Mrs. X. r Holbrook, 1926
Massachusetts, avenue northwest, whose
appeal for old kid gloves to be used
for lining winter garments for troops
in the trenches was some time ago
made public in The Star.

tops of the trenches continues the

forwarded to the writer of this letter.
Use for Other Articles.
Mrs. Holbrook is thanked for big
bundle of other things besides gloves
and is informed by her friend as to
their disposition. There is prevalent
misunderstanding, she states, about
second hand clothing being sent. GUAM
titles have already gone through, have
been gratefully acknowledged and put
to immediate use. She will be glad to
give any possible donors any informa-
ton in her possession as to the articles

Pier 81, North river, New York city,
and they will go through to France
free of duty. 1t is not only the soldiers
in the trenches who need help, she
adds, but even more the families of the
refugees.

Hundreds of letters went out from
the brigade headquarters at the L

letter was signed personally by Brig.

the District of Columbia militia. The
letter follows:
THE National Guard of the District
