PLAN BARRACKS FOR MEN
ON DUTY IN CAPITAL
Hundreds Of Soldiers to Live in
Headquarters Building Secured
by War Department.

1t Is contemplated by the War De-
partment to establish barracks in one
OF the government buildings in the
vicinity Of 18th and Virginia ayenue
for the several hundred enlisted SOL
dfers on detail duty in washington.
In making known this cOntemp1at ted
step the department explained that
It was principally in the interest of
economy. The department is assured
these men housed and fed under one
roof than to furnish their commute
tton and subsistence and have them
scattered throughout the city, as is
now the case.
Official announcement to the effect
that TINS step has been determined
upon ls awaiting only the selection
of suitable building. There is one
building. constructed with several
others OF the same type during the
war period near 18th street and vir-
sinia avenue, which the department
believes will. after some little al
teration, answer the purpose in a
satisfactory manner.
- 1t is considered doubtful if this
proposed step on the part of the de-
partment will be favored unanimously
by the men in question. However,
the only real objection anticipated
will come from the married men who
lies and by those single men whose
home is in this city. In the case of
the former. it will mean that these
men will be forced to pay the entire
amount of their room and board or
else take advantage Of the barracks.
In the latter event it would mean
that they would not be permitted to

posed. these to be financed at the rate
of IS each by the relatives and friends
of the survivors of the war.
Sl,8O0. 900 Already in Hand.
Tennessee already has authorized a
state bond issue to cover the cost OF
it's gold-star quota. and in that ana
other commonwealthsc committees are
at work raising funds for botn eolu
and blue star representations.
The George Washington Memorial
Association takes the initial building
step tomorrow. with something like a
million dollars in hand. with reports
from state committees indicating this
fund will be constantly augmented.
While the building itself is to cost
in the neighborhood of $10.000.000,
eventually, the project is expected to
assume the proportions Of a $4,000
900 investment, as $10.000.000 will be
sought for an endowment fund.
Great Assembly Hall Included.
The building will contain a great
assembly hall, where national gath
erings may consider problems related
intimately to the welfare and happi-
ness of the people: a room for each
state of the Union; headquarters for
ex-service men and an armory for the
District National Guard. 1t will be
provided with a library and other fea-
lures designed to make it render prac-
teal benefits to all who would use it.
Under the endowment fund proposed
it would be possible to give great
public concerts in the building and
develop the uplifting influences of the
institution in many directions.
At 4:3O o'clock tomorrow afternoon
Mrs. Dimock will give a reception at
her home, 1901 10th street northwest,
in honor of those who held special
invitations to the corner stone laying
exercises. The occasion is expected
to serve as an opportunity for official
Washington to congratulate the head
of the George Washington Associa-
tion upon the approaching successful
completion Of her efforts In behalf of
the memorial undertaking.

A study OF the conditions from 1852
to 1920. DR.. Ballou said, indicates that
appropriations made by Congress
during those years have been -strik-
ingly inadequate to provide for the
housing needs of the school system.
''In 1882 and in 1905" the report stat
ed, there were part-time classes:
there are now twenty-seven part-time
classes In the elementary schools of
the District. In 1882 and.fn 1908 there

in November, 1920. there were twenty.

Buildings under construction and
those for which appropriations have
been made were listed in detail In the
report, with the following comment by
the superintendent:
THE appropriations made up to
date still leave an unsatisfled need of
fifty-nine elementary school class
rooms, provided that these classrooms
had been ready for occupancy on No
vember /, 1920. It Is clear, therefore,
that appropriations for school baItld-
