A National Art Center.

In The Star yesterday appeared a
description of the new building. now
approaching completion. that is to
house the Frcar art collection in this
city. This will be one of the most at
tractive features of the capital when
it is finally opened to the public. and
it is most gratifying that Washing
ton was chosen by the donor, the late
Charles i. Frcar of Detroit, for its
permanent location, and especially in
such liberal terms that the collection
will grow with the years
That Washington is destined to be
one of the worlds art centcrs is evil
denced by late developments. 1t now
has two galleries-thc Corcoran and
the National-apd q third-the Frear
is about to be dedicated TO the pub
lie. Several efficient art schools are
conducted here. The city is the home
OF many artists of note who find here
a congenial atmosphere for their work.
A biennial exhibition of the works of
cotemporary American artists is held
at the Corcoran Gallery, being now
regarded as one of the most impor-
tant displays of art held in the coun-
try.
Whether by public endowment or
by private benefaction, other galleries
and collections are certain to develop
in Washington. Projects are already
under way to that end. The local
population is steadily and rapidly in
creasing. The city is being chosen
for permanent residence by persons
of large means who arc in a position
to encourage artists by their purchases
and patronage, so that it is expected
that other artists will come here to
establish studios.
Taken altogether the prospect of
Washington's development along these
lines is distinctly encouraging. A
local appreciation of art matters has
been manifested increasingly in re-
cent years. The Frear gallery may be
looked upon as simply a stage in the
evolution of the true American art
center.

A Larger School Plant Needed.

Evidence that broad school build
ing construction plan is urgently nee
essary accumulates as the school year
develops. Although already over
crowded, the high schools must accom-
modate an increase of 1000 pupils
graduating from the eighth grades.
The February graduations from the
high schools will not provide this
number of vacancies. Truth is. the
schools are growing in attendance at
a rate that promises chaotic conges-
tion i'll the next three or four years,
unless relief is afforded through new
constructions.
Considering the length of time re-
quired to acquire sites to design and
to complete new school buildings, it is
imperative that this years appropria-
tions should provide for the construc-
tions that are necessary to accommo-
date the present and Immediately pros
pective school attendance. The de-
lay of year will greatly add to the
difficulties of the problem.
Expenditure of several million dol
lars is necessary within the next three
or four years to bring the District up
to the mark of its needs in this re-
speet. While an increase in the mum
ter of school teachers and in their
pay is essential to good school ad
ministration and to the maintenance
of efficiency. the school plant itself
must be enlarged at once, and the
hope is that the school bettcrment pro-
gram adopted by the citizens repre-.
sentative organizations will be pressed
vigorously TO the end that Congress
will recognize this need and proceed
without further postponement to make
provision in adequate terms.

spectful consideration at time when
unrest is general and much of it un-
reasonable.
The men who would ruthlessly de-
stroy this government are not nu-
merous. An astonishing thing is that
among them are a few native-born
Americans. The foreign born reds
are not altogether a mystery. Brought
up under governments which gave
them small, if any, chance. they early
acquired the spirit of kickers and
revolutionists; and they are simply
indulging in this spirit under the
Stars and Stripes. But how men who
have never known any other govern
ment than this and have always en-
joyed its opportunities can desire its
destruction passes understanding.
The real danger lies in the half
baked schemes for changing the gov
ernment with view of improving it
of which these disturbed times are so
prolific. Agitators with tongue or
pen. or both. are numerous and tire
less. They are busy day and night,
and are securing great amount of
attention. Their quackeries are very
persuasively presented.
1t is true, as these farmers declare,
that our fundamentals are sound.
There is nothing needing attention
that cannot be attended to success
fully by means fashioned in strict
conformity with the governments
original designs. 1t is not necessary
to change or materially modify those
designs to provide for the continued

essary for a period of three or four
months something might result. But
it is as hard to get such cooperative
self denial as to reach the funda-
mental cause of the high prices.
Not the least of the troubles of con-
sumers nowadays is that while prices
are advancing qualities are declining
If actual rates are 80 per cent higher
now than before the war in any one
line-and that is a low authoritative
rates, including quality, are more
nearly 100 per cent higher. In shoes
in clothing, in all articles of wear
in furnishings of all kinds this dis
parity prevails, and for no clear rea-
son beyond the general assertion that
it costs more to produce.
What the public wants to know is
how to get what it needs for less
money. 1t does not require to be told
in statistical terms how much higher
the rates are today than they for
merly were.
Evening star., 1920-01-31
No Need of a Price Survey

Next week, it is announced, an ex-
tensive survey of living costs will be
begun by the Department of Labor.
Experts of the statistics bureau will
visit various cities and make a study
of retail prices of necessities other
than food. This will include cloth
ing, shoes, furniture and other house
hold articles, and also amusements.
No great doubt should exist as to
the result of such survey. Indeed,
it is doubtful whether it will be worth
while other than from a purely rec
ord viewpoint. Everybody knows that
everything is high, higher perhaps
than ever before in American history.
Nobody needs to be told by govern
ment inquiry that shoes and clothes
and furniture, and movies and other
amusements are at record prices.
The question that most concerns the
people today is how to bring those
prices down. Surveys will not ac-
complish that. There have been sur
veys and Investigations enough, and
what the people want now is action,
if action can he devised to the end of
reducing rates.
Cooperative buying projects and
also cooperative non-buying pledges
have been tried, and with but little
success. II is difficult to organize
enough people in any community to
