SAYS SCHOOLS ARE FREE
OF FACT|ONAL TROUBLES
Rev. DR.. John Van Sehaick. Jr.. As
serts Dangers Outlined to Him
Were Greatly Overdrawn.

Dangers of factional troubles in the
administration of Washingtap's school
affairs, as portrayed to him when he
first went on the school board, have
proved greatly overdrawn, Rev. DR..
John Van Schaick. jr., told mass
meeting of number of colored congre-
cations last evening at Metropolitan
A. N. e. Church.
81 was warned that there was danger
of constant wrangling, bitter quarrels
between races, between members of the
board, trouble with the Commission
ers with Congress, with citizens asso-
Citations and with churches said the
president of the school board, in part
"In my humble opinion. these dangers
do not exist"
I'm my relations with the white and
colored schools l shall strive to be fair
and impartial" he continued. Both
are needed in the community, and each
can help the other. All connected with
, the public schools need the heip ana
cooperation of the church, and all in
the church need to apply religion py
helping the schools.
To Increase Military Training.
-
tary training in the schools was also
outlined by the president of the board.
In addition to cadet infantry drills,
it is proposed to form engineering COM
panies which will be instructed in
bridge building and other engineering
problems These companies are to con-
stitute a separate unit, with dlst1nc-
tive competitions in the annual con-
tests They will not be given infantry
drill.
1t is hoped an arrangement can be
made with District officials whereby the
Commissioner Kutz has approved the
plan.
Could Build Bridges.
ITO start WITH" said DIR. Van Schaick
Companies could be formed at the Nc
Kinley and Armstrong high schools and
later at other schools. Bridges could be
constructed in Rock Creek Park and
many of the repairs and improvements
at schools could be made by the
students"
In conclusion, the speaker mentioned
a number of topics which he said have
been called to his attention by citizens
and to which the board is going to give
patient consideration. These included
supervised study, free text books for
the high schools, keeping pupils in the
schools for longer period. teaching of
| modern languages and typewriting in
the graded schools, abolition of frater-
mites, competitive examinations for
/ janitors, large use of Fairgrounds and

by Edward Thornton, local boarding
housekeeper. Waltz-time music to the

The chorus of MIR. Thornton's song
is:
"You should take trip. not in an air
ship, but in an automobile.
With your blushing bride long the riv.
er you glide. Oh, Honey,
How good you do feel.
Take trip next summer to Nations
playground.
You'll never want to leave you will
find it SO grand.
If you want to be happy, healthy. mer-
ry and gay,
Take ride with your bride along the
great Highway"
