NEW JAN|TORS AIDED
BY FLYING SQUADRON
Superintendent of Schools Thurston
Uses Experienced Men as Tutors.
Shortage Still Serious.

In an effort to relieve the janitor
situate n in the public schools which
has already caused closing of sew
eral of the schools for hours each
day because of inexperienced men in
charge of the furnaces. Superintend-
ent of Schools Ernest l.. Thurston has
organized flying squadron" made
up of old employees who thoroughly
understand furnaces and heating.
These men, when they can be spared
from their duties, have been instructed
to visit such schools as need help
and instruct the ianitors, who. in
many cases. are new on the job, and
cannot attain the maximum of heat
from their furnaces.
The present shortage of janitors in
the schools, Mr.. Thurston said yes
terday, is in no wise alleviated by the
twenty or more applicants who
have taken the examination within
the past three weeks These men, he
said, are in most cases inexperienced
and need considerable instruction be-
fore they will be able to handle their
furnaces so as to obtain the best
results. The present situation is ad-
mitted to be q serious one.
Had we not been so fortunate in the
matter of weather SO far this win
ter" he said. Il can predict that sew
eral of the schools would have been
forced to close their doors, perhaps
for days at p time. These schools have
in them janitors, who. while doing
their best. cannot get up heat in the
short time required. / wish to put in
a word for the older MEN of the jani-
torial force who have remained with
the school system. They have been
loyal to the fullest degree and have
remained on duty sometimes fourteen
and fifteen hours a day when there is
no obligation other than a moral one
that they do SO. We have been fortu-
nate in this regard, but we need ne w

GLASGOW PLAN URGED

Breathing a spirit of wholeson e
optimism, but sounding a timely
warning, Louis Brownlow, chairman
OF the District Commissioners. last
night told the Commercial Club what
he believed was ahead of the District.
+. The Commissioner said more and
/ better houses, more and better
schools, the Identification of the city
and a largely increased population
were among the blessings which will
come to Washington if the citizenship
of the community works together.
Mr.. Brownlow said if the decen-
| tralization of the federal government
is to be avoided there must be better
housing for clerks and other public
employees, better schools in which to
educate their children and "A more
modern system of school government
Washington must prepare to care for

hon inhabitants instead of a town of

Would Pay Higher Wages.

The Commissioner said the District
employees Should be adequately paid
and there should be a sufficient re-
firing allowance for those who are
no longer physically able to do good
service.
TT is a shame to see elderly men
and women who have faithfully served
the government going every day to
the departments and continuing in olG
age painfully to attempt to do the
work for which youth and vigor are
required" said Mr.. Brownlow."
The Commissioner said the District
must prepare to build, and do so at
once, If the increase in population is
to be taken care of He declared that
the conditions prevailing during the
war Were tolerated because the in
terests of patriotism demanded it.

Increase Will Be Permanent.

increase Will BE Permanent,
Mr.. Brownlow said as =, result of the
war there would he a largely increased
permanent population in Washington
He called attention to the fact that
though there may be a net loss of clerks
in the departments this would be made
up for in other ways.
FOR instance. nearly all the war
workers came here alone" said Mr.
Brownlow. ''They did not bring their
families. Those who remain here will
naturally bring their families to Wash
ington. They will educate their children
here. Two kinds of housing are needed
for every citizen who comes here. He
must have place to live in and he must
have a place to work in.
| Some thought that as soon as the
war was over Washington would greatly
diminish in population. This has not
proved to be So"
Mr.. Brownlow said many patriotic cit
liens who never before had taken in a
boarder or rented a room threw their
homes open to war workers. But when
peace is firmly established they would
like to get rid of what they rightly re-
gard as an inconvenience.
But provision must be made for
these people. Houses must be built for
them to live in." said Commissioner
Brownlow.
MANY young women were housed
most miserably during the war
Soiiie VI tfieHl suffered great 1nCOn-
venience and some even suffered in
their health" continued the Commits
sioner.
Referring to pensions for employees.
Mr.. Brownlow said the great corpora
tions of the country had shown the
way and surely the government
could adopt their ideas without the
fear that 1t would be accused of
fostering a socialistic spirit.
School Improvement Urged.
In reply to question the Commits
sioner said the schools of the city
are in a bad way. the teachers are
underpaid, the buildings are made
quate and authority is not properly
lodged. He declared that to catch
up it would be necessary to com
plete building program in three
years which ordinarily is not done in
less than twenty wears.
Mr.. Brownlow said the board OF ed
ucation should have only advisory
should be appointed who would have
full executive authority.
The club unanimously decided to
appoint a committee to study Mr.
Rrownlows recommendation relating
to the school system.
Officers Elected.
The election of officers resulted in
the following:
President, Joseph Whitfield; vice

Glasgow Building Plan Favored.

Mr. Brownlow advoca ted a big mu-
nicipal or federal building program
patterned somewh hat after Glasgow
He said such a policy would not mill
tate against private building. On the
contrary. it. would stimulate private
energy
Private enterprise will not antici-
pate the needs of the community be-
cause that viii mean that more houses
may be built than occupants can be
found for, and 1t is considered bad
business to build ahead of require
ments,S said Commissioner Brownlow.
Hence there are but two ways of
meeting these conditions. One is for
the municipality to construct the
houses. and the other is for the in
dustrial concerns employing labor 10
do so.
I'm Glasgow, where almost every in
dustry had failed, it was found that
these failures resulted almost wholly
from the fact that housing arrange
ments We're bad, that the men and
their families lived under conditions
which were wholly wretched Then
the municipality decided to build good
houses. They put bath in each apart
ment and today Glasgow is one of the
most prosperous cities in the world
at least ii was so before the war

Few Have Left Washington.

Mr.. Brownlow said there has not
been a great exodus of clerks from
Washington. He declared that be-
tween November i l, when the armistice
was signed, and January II there had
been a net loss of employees in the
departments of 3,949. To be sure, the
Commissioner said, some bureaus had
almost entirely been suspended, while
others had greatly reduced their force.
But many of the clerks had been trans
ferred TO other departments.
Take the bureau ef war risk in
surance," said the Commissioner.
This bureau is preparing for it's great
conversion scheme. 1t is getting
ready to extend the benefits of the
war insurance to the men who desire
to carry it on. Then there is the CEN
