Detectives Patrick OBrien and Rob-
ert Livingston visited the Girard
street house last night about $50
o'clock and had a fight. with Goldberg
and his wife. They arrested the hus-
band and locked him up, the law
making no provision for the release
on bond of persons arrested for other
jurisdictions.
1t was stated in photographic re-
quest for the arrest that Goldberg is
wanted on charge of larceny of
merchandise. but Goldberg denied
that he had committed such an Of
fense. He is said to have admitted
liquor labels and stamps. and to have
stopped payment on a check for $500
given in payment for the purchase.

report. 1t must recognize that it is
impossible to eliminate school con-
gestion in growing city on the
principle of reserved seat for every
child; that school building pro-
gram is dependent upon the kind of
education that is to be carried on in
the building. and that the modern
city has deprived children of the
opportunity for play and work out
side the school. which must be made
up to the children through a proper
arrangement of the school activities.
The work-study-play plan will give
each child a seat when he or she
needs one. it is said, inst as seats
are provided in railroad trains, etc,
when they are needed. but are not
reserved perpetually for any indi-
vidual. Half the children are in the
classrooms, while the other half are
in auditoriums. Fairgrounds and
gymnasiums, under this plan.
In Use All Day.
With regard to the playground
facilities of the city, the report says:
During the past summer Wash
ington carried on a valiant campaign
to give an opportunity for play to
the children of the city. The work
accomplished was remarkable. There
seems to be no good reason. however,
why children should not have as full
opportunity for play during the win
ter as during the summer. yet under
the dictation of the traditional school
program 1t is impossible to supply
sufficient playground space for chill
dren since they must all play at once
But under the work study-play plan
lit is possible for Fairgrounds to
be in use every hour of the day. In
a 1.200-pupil school there would be
$50 to 200 children on the playground
every hour
One school. the Parkview. to which
the report calls attention, is already
operated on the work study play
plan and with much success. This
school was originally intended for
$40 pupils. but under the new system
it cares for 1862. 1t is declared that
the plan can very well be adopted in
other schools of the city. The John
Eaton. Buchanan. Mott. Gage, Emery.
lexington and Junior High schools
are mentioned in this Connection. The
John Eaton School. it is said. has an
enrolment of 519. but under the new
plan it could care for 500.
John J. Tigert, commissioner of
education. in his letter forwarding
the report. urges that a survey of the
city be made before any further large
sums of money are invested for
school building.

WORK -STUDY-PLAY PLAN URGED
TO SOLVE. THE SCHOOL PR OBLEM
Scheme to Have Some Pupils at Desks
While Others Utilize Fairgrounds
Is Advocated.

The work -study-play plan is
recommended as a solution of the
school problem in the District of Co
lumbia in a report made to Senator
Capper chairman of the Senate sub
committee on schools. by the bureau
OF education. A survey of the schools
here was made by the bureau experts,
particularly Mrs. Alice B. Fernandez,
at the request of Senator capper
The report of the bureau. which
was sent to Senator Capper yesterday
afternoon. was laid by him before the
joint. committee on schools at its
meeting today.
1t is made clear in the report that
the adoption of the double platoon
system. or the work-study-play plan,
will greatly relieve the situation
here. Conditions in the District
schools. due to overcrowding, the re-
port says. are deplorable.
The report says in this connection:
1T is financially and administra-
lively possible, for Washington to
eliminate school congestion and pro-
vide modern educational facilities for
its children If it organizes it's schools,
as is being done in many cities in the
country. on the principle of the bal
anced-load. or work-study-play plan.
Same Building Plans.
The report does not recommend,
however. that the plans for buildings
for which $1,544,0O were appropri-
ated in June. 1921. be changed SO as
to operate the schools on the work
study-play plan; but it does recon-
mend that before further funds are
appropriated a comprehensive city
wide building survey be made. and
that this survey ascertain facts
which will show how congestion can
be eliminated and modern educational
facilities provided. and how much it
will cost to accomplish these results,
both on the basis of traditional type
of school organization and on the
work-study-play type of school or
ganization.
THE congestion in the public
schools of Washington is appalling,
but even more serious is the fact
that the appropriation of s1,544,O
for school buildings, asked for by the
board of education and granted by
Congress in June, 1921, offers no per-
manent or fundamental relief to the
situation"
