Urges Teaching of History.

The teaching of history in secondary

ice was advocated in an address by DR..

rator in commercial education Of the
bureau of education at Washington. and
assistant secretary general of Second
American Scientific Congress. be-
fore the association today. "Prepara-

pointed to work out the various details

BUILDING
PLANS DISCUSSED
Advocates of Project Divided
as to Single or State
Structures.
CONFERENCE ON MARCH 3

Whether effort should be made to
obtain separate buildings for the
housing of the proposed permanent
states exposition in Washington or
single building. provided with a large
auditorium. in which each state would
oe represented by a room suite of
rooms. is a question arousing much in
terest in Washington. according to
communications received by the Fed
| GRAFTON of Citizens Associa tions. which
is promoting the exposition plans
Decision on this point will be reached
at the national conference, to be held
here March 3. under the auspices of
| the federation, when there will be per-
fected an organization for interesting
actively the states in the project. Pre-
liminary arrangements for this confer
ence, as well the educational ex-
! hlbit of government activities, to be
held during the week preceding inau-
SuratIon. were commenced today in
earnest by the federation. which has
opened headquarters at the Powhatan
Hotel
When the permanent exposition idea
was first considered several years ago,
the plan was to have the federal gov
ernment donate the necessary land
upon which each state would erect its
own building. There are many Wash
ingtonans who still think the project
should be attempted on such an eX-
tensive scale.

Sentiment for One Building.

Public sentiment, however, appears to
be gradually crystallizing in favor of
the one-buiiding plan. This is indicated
in large number of communicat tions on
the subject which have been sent to Ed
ward F. Colladay, chairman of the in
augural exhibit and permanent eXposi-
tion committee of the federation.
1t is pointed out, in the first place,
that the cost would be less and the
states more likely to agree to contribute
their pro rata share. If the federal gov
ernment should donate the land the ex-
pense to each state for it's room or
rooms in the building would be small,
and the annual expense of maintaining
the building could be met through the
leasing of the auditorium for public
gatherings, if this plan should be deemed
advisa BILE.
BY having all the states resources eX-
hibted under one roof, the opportunity
for comparison will be greater than If
they were displayed in separate build
inss. This plan also would solve Wash
ingtons auditorium problem.
1t is the intention of federation officials
and others who favor housing the perma-
nent exposition in a single building to
urge that sufficient money be spent to
make the structure one of the finest IN
the capital An admirable site. it is
thought can be selected from ground al
ready owned by the government.

Discussing Organization Plans.

Just what sort of organization will be
effected at the national conference for
interesting Congress and the states in the
undertaking. later developments will de-
termine, but effort will be made to get the
project sufficiently under way to make
possible the presentation of a definite
proposal to Congress at its next session.
From Chairman Harper down, members
OF the inaugural committees think the
federation has selected an opportune time
for reviving the permanent exposition
plans There is every indication that.
after the Inauguration is over. all hands
will join with the federation in effort
to carry out what plans may be decided
upon at the national conference.
All three DistriI Commissioners are
taking a deep interest in the big job the
federation has cut out for itself
Commissioner BroWnlow, who has
been named chairman of a committee
to arrange for a historical pageant in
connection with the Inauguration, has
had several conferences with federation
leaders in regard to the government
exhibit to be held during the week be-
fore inauguration.
