Of the extra activities of the school

their development and success. Miss
Anderson has shown splendid executive
ability. and above all, the right attitude
toward the community spirit Of CO.
operation and service. She was espe-
cially interested in the correlated work
Of the civics class and took the initia-
tive in a great deal of it. Gray Carter
has demonstrated his ideals by active
and forceful participation In practically
every phase of school life in which
student leadership is encouraged. Both
he and Miss Anderson were dependable,

the life Of the school, a citizenship in
the highest degree, both enviable and
commendable. They represent the
things Mr.. Hopes deemed most desir-
able in community life.

In one New York city this system was
tried and worked out with wonder
ful results, relieving such a situation
as now exists in this city, Mr.. Ford
said.
Relating to the committee system Of
bringing landlords 10 terms, Mr.. Ford
said that in New London, Conn. IL
proved most successful. In but few
cases were forceful measures applied
he said, as the proflteering landlords
were reasoned with and soon agreed
on terms.
! Newspapers should be a means Of
/ helping in the room registry system. he
declared. In the papers should be print
ed coupons TO be filled out by persons
having rooms to let and sent into head
quarters.

brokers are securing no profits in the
alleged excessive rents demanded by
landlords, and asked that no suspicion
Of such acts be laid on them.

man Cathcart, agreed TO stay here this
morning so as to be shown moro thor
oughly the serious situation Of hous-
! ing in this city. Mr.. Cathcart explained

PLY again TO recall the distinguished
services rendered by Mr.. Hopes to the
cause OF public education in this city
and especially to the work in citizen

School, and no more delicate tribute
could be paid to his memory than that
of stimulating an increasing interest in
the work he loved so deeply.
Mr.. Hopes believed that the purpose
of the American public school is so to
train the youth Of our land that they
can translate personal efficiency into
terms OF service and good citizenship,
and long before civics attained in pres

realized that the school must assume a
greater responsibility for starting the
young men and women out into the
world with some definite knowledge of
their civic responsibilities and a high
civic ideal.

II JamesaFord, OF the Bureau Of HOUSING
Of the Department Of Labor. outlined tC
the members Of the City Council. in
meeting as a committee Of the whole
last night, plans for the betterlng OF
the housing situation in this city. lie
scored the rent proflteer, denounced the
Garner Of any unjust profits and de-
clared that any man who wilfully
charges an excessive rent commits as
traitorous an act as the person who
would shoot a soldier In the street.
All rent Increases, however, cannot
be considered as unjust, Mr.. Ford told
the Councilmen, and demanded that
drastic measures be employed against
only those who unjustly increase the
rents OF their houses. Before any severe
action should be taken against the
wilful proflteer, Mr.. Ford suggested
that method should be employed 10
endeavor TO bring the landlord volun-
tarily TO terms.
He set forth, as one plan for this
purpose, that any difficulty between
landlord and tenant should be taken
before a committee OF three members
which should be operated under the
jurisdiction OF the local or state Coun-
Gil Of National Defense. About 20 or
more committees should be appointed
to sit In such cases each day, he said.
Each committee should consist OF a
representative Of labor, a manufacturer
and a citizen who should be agreeable
to the other two members, Mr.. Ford adj
vised.
In many instances, the committees
may find that the rent increase is war
ranted.
Increases should be in proportion to
the amount invested in the property,
he said He favored publicity for the
landlord who is found TO be willfully
proflteerlng. Mr.. Ford said the public
should he told that the willful prof.
teer Is the worst OF traitors and that
public opinion should easily remedy
the situation.
/ Mr.. Ford answered numerous ques-
tions put 70 him by members Of the
Council. In answer TO a question by
Councilman Catheart, he said that there
is no general law that can be applied to
/ the willful proflteer, but that Il is pos
siDle Congress may extend the rent
prohteering law from the District OF
Columbia to the entire nation. or to dis
| tricts where there is considerable war
industries and scarcity Of houses. Mr.
Ford suggested that he take the city
charter to Washington and have the
legal Department Of Labor draw up az
ordinance which would authorize tn,
! local committee TO compel the willfu
proflteer TO come to terms. He advised
that such matters should be tried to b.
smicably adjusted and that compul
sion should be the next measure EN-
ployed.
Mr.. Ford also mentioned a room reg
istry system. All tenants Of houses o
the city having unoccupied rooms Il
their homes should be appealed TO, Of
patriotic grounds, to let their extra
rooms. These rooms should be listec
and persons seeking rooms would onl.
have to go to the headquarters OF tn,
system In order to secure q room. This
would also be means Of forcing the
landlord. seeking high profits because
Of the scarcity OF living space, to come
to terms in the renting Of his houses.
