SAYS PLAN WOULD
PLEASE ROOSEVELT
Friend Suggests Americaniza-
ton Work With S10,00O,000
Fund as Memorial.
SCHOLARSHIPS A PART
Foundation to Teach Citizen
ship and League for Straight
Americanism Features.

a plan for Americanisation work un-
der a s1o.ooo,ooo fund has been sug-
gested to tho Roosevelt Permanent
Memorial National Committee. 1t pro-
vides for scholarships in typical inland
American colleges, a foundation for the
teaching Of Americanism and citizenship,
and a supervisory organization TO be
known as the Roosevelt League for
Straight Americanism.
The suggestion comes from "a close
friend of Col Roosevelt who prefers to
have his name withheld, but who had un-
usual opportunity TO learn the kind OF
memorial Col. Roosevelt would desire.
Its purpose, in the words of the author
Of the plan, would be ito perpetuate in
American public life the ideals and prin-
oiplss Of Theodore Roosevelt and to
carry the fruition his life long struggle
for sound Amerlcanism and intelligent
citizenship"
Courses in Inland Colleges.
The scholarships would be awarded, as
suggested by Max Ravage to promising
young men and women of foreign parent
age, living in any OF the great cities
the scholarships to provide for from
| three to four years education in some
typical American college between the
| Alleghanies and the Rockies, in towns
OF not more than $4,000 inhabitants. An
annual loan ofnot more than $3.50 would
be made. to be augmented by special
grants OF the college, such as free lodg-
ing and free tuition.
A fund of 100000 is suggested for
these scholarships. which at interest OF
per cent. would provide 100000 a
year enough for more than sixty stud
ents the first year, and later. when the
loans began 10 be repaid, for many more.
1t is suggested that there should be an
arrangement by which holders Of
scholarships who did not show con-
| tinued promise might DO eliminated.
| sB,Oo0,OOO for Professorships.
| Another fund of 100000 would be
raised TO provide forty professorships
In the leading universities for the train
ing OF teachers in those colleges among
which the holders of scholarships would
be distributed and other teachers In
normal and secondary schools.
The Roosevelt League would be ma
tionwide non-psrtisan organization with
State and local branches, under the d.
rection Of a board OF governors, con-
sisting OF the forty or fifty men who
were closest to Col. Roosevelt in life,
and State executive committees to con-
Hist Of a number Of loyal supporters OF
Roose velt'e political ideals and principles
The business OF the board would be to
see that the teaching under the founda-
ton should not deviate from the known
principles OF Col. Roosevelt The busi-
ness Of each local branch would be %
provide necessary funds for the teaching
! OF Amertcanism In the local high school

Sermons Heard in Washington Churches Yesterday
Maintaining Order Is First
Duty Of Citizen, Says
The Rev. J. J. Muir.

when every citizen Of thi. great
republic. will recognize fully his or
her responsibilities with regard TO the
government, then we may 20 about
our daily affairs without hearing re-
ports OF attempted terrorizing such
as recently took place in this. city,
Thus spoke the Rev. J. J. Muir,
pastor OF the Temple Baptist Church.
Tenth and streets northwest, in
his sermon yesterday.
AT least" sad the pastor, I'VE
should look upon our government and
our responsibilities with the same
sincerity and devotion that we look
upon our church The relation TO the
individual is practically the same
THE church will look after a citi-
zen's spiritual welfare The citizen
should look after the material welfare
OF the government, and see that IL Is
upheld by an order-loving, patriotic
class, There is solemn obligation
resting upon each and every citizen
OF this country, and upon those who
have sought refuge here from oppres-
sion abroad, to do his duty consci-
eDtiously TO the government.
THE maintenance OF order is the
first essential duty OF a citizen. 1t
must be maintained before any prog
ress along other lines may be made
Those who do not know what their
first duty along this line Is should
be taught 1t Immediately. II we are
to build up our republic.
"A better appreciation OF citizen
ship in this gleat republic is also nee
essary for a large class of people who
do not yet realize the sort of a coun-
try they live in. Our laws were made
to obey. and not TO break. There Is,
however. a sufficient number Of US
who realize our duty and obligations
to the government. to educate thoss
VINO do not know theirs.
Those who are not willing to learn
that the first important element of
civilization is order and obedience to
the law must learn through the exc
cut1on OF the law"

now Amt LOVE
JUST TOO GRAND!
These Spoony Couples Just
Couldn't Help Invading
Maj. Pullman S Yard.

II the old adage Seeing is believ-
ing" is true. the center Of spooning
activities has shifted from Potomac
Park to the front yard Of the District
Building, incidentally causing NAL
Pullman to count a few gray hairs.
In spite of the care taken by the
police to abolish forever from the
parks and driveways ,of the city the
habit OF public spooning. each night
finds dozens of couples scattered over
the lawn in front OF the District
Building.
Park policemen. detectives, police
women and regulation cops, are at
their wits end as to the method To
pursue in driving the couples inso
pariors and other home spots.
AS soon as one section is cleaned up
of spooners, like the smallpox. the
national disease breaks out in a new
place. Regulations do not cover the
number of offenses so-called that are
reported each night, and steadily the
majors pet collection of photos is in
creasing.
One oId-timer on the force. in spite
of the fact he must carry out ih-
structions in freeing the parks or
spooners. was heard to remark that
the best thing today, in his opinion.
was to let the people alone and get
down to policing.
