D. c. EDUCATIONAL
Center, SAYS DEAN
DR.. Ruediger Sees Chance for
Washington to Be Pivot
Of Learning.

Washington Is doomed as the ideal
educational center of the country in
a statement just issued by DIR. will
liam Carl Ruediger. dean OF Teachers
College and director OF the summer
school at George Washington Uni
versity.
Washington is peculiarly well fit
ted to be the educational center of
the United States" says Dean Rue
digger. Its position IL unique and I'M
rivaled. Here are found the head
quarters of the executive. Legislative,
and judicial branches of the National
Government, all of which may be Nls-
tied freely and without cost.
washington is COSMOPOLITAN
city. Here are gathered students and
others from every State of the Union
and from all corners OF the earth Ths
liberalizing influence OF association
with such varied personalities Is in
valuable.
Scholarship in Washington educa-
tional institutions probably is higher
than elsewhere in the United States.
This is due to the fact that many Of
the students, particularly at George
Washington University, are mature
persons who are employed during the
day who are earning their way
through college. and who, therefore
are earnest and serious minded and
fully conscious of the Importance OF
faithful application to their studies"
Dean Ruediger is doing all in his
power to make Washington the great
summer school center in the coun-
try. The summer school at George
Washington University. which start.
ed in 1916 with an enrolment of 166
has grown by leaps and bounds. and
1t is expected that more than COO will
be registered at the coming session
The annual rates of Increase have
been respectively 30. SO. and so per
cent. The summer school will open
June FL. clasSes continuing for six
and eight weeks. Registration will
be in progress 4om June II, to 80.

King Asks Turks Expelled
Senator King of Utah introduced
resolution urging expulsion OF the
Turks from Armenia and extending
sympathy of the United states 10 the
oppressed peoples there.
The resolution, which was reterred
to the Foreign Relations Committee,
In part. follows:
Whereas the recent outrages per-
petrated by the Turks in the Marash
region OF Cilicia by which 10000 Ar
menians were massacred or perisheu
from exposure after being forced
from their homes. AFFORD one more eN-
ample of the inyetcrate malice or the
Turks against the native Christian
inhabitants OF Armenia and
Whereas, II is within the power or
the allied governments to summary
terminate these outrages.
Want ArmcnInns Freed.
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
the Senate dhat the allied powers
which accepted the capitulation OF the
Turks in the late war, should now
impose terms upon the Turks for the
complete liberation of the Armenian
people and the vindication and rcstor-
alton of their territorial rights and
political independence and that ade-
quate military measures be forthwith
taken in conformity to the terms or
the armistice with the Turks to &C.
cupy Armenia and to expel all armed
Turks and Kurds."
Later Senator King attacked the
allies for their reluctance to take
stern measures against the Turks.
at Is a horrible condition to exist
in this age,"he declared. The Chris
tian peoples sit by in cynical way
while these outrages go on. 1t is
cowardly to shake hands with these
monsters and to think Of turning
Constantinople over to them. The
Turk should be expelled from Eu-
rope"

II. Barnes, head of the United states
Grain Corporation, that he would

-four to starving countries. whether
Congress passed an authorization
resolution or not. the House Ways
and Means Committee today favor
ably reported such resolution.
Indications are that it will be pass
ed in the House Monday in place of
the bill providing an appropriation of
$50. O00. 900 for loans to these coun-
tries to buy food. which has been
pending IN the House calendar for
several weeks. House leaders OBJ
jected to tho measure because OF the
appropriation.
The flour to be sent cannot be sold
in this country, because the American
people want a higher grade, Barnes
said. and soon would begin to de-
tcriorate because of approaching
warm weather. 1t will be sold on long
term credits. Barnes asked for the
authorization resolution on the ground
that II this were passed, other
countries would be more willing to
cooperate in the relief program.
