Administrative or non-teaching prin-
cipals for each elementary school
building in the educational system of
the District of Columbia was advo-
Gated by DR.. Frank W. Ballou. super
intendent of schools. in an address
before the Iowa Circle Citizens Asso-
ciation. at the Northminster Church
lecture room, last night.
DR.. Ballou said that many parents
remove their children from the schools
as they are about to enter the eighth
grade and place them in private in
stitutions, believing that the eighth
grade teacher, who also is the princi-
pal Of the building. is unable to devote
as much time and interest as the
teachers of other grades. a teacher
whose duty 1t would be to manage and
supervise each school building and
leave to the eighth grade teacher the
work of instructing that class. and
nothing else, was one Of several Sug-
gestions the superintendent had for
the betterment of school conditions in
washington. The system now has
thirty-f1ve such administrative princi-
pals. he said.
Urges Physical Training.
The physical training angle of ele-
mentary education was also touched
upon by the superintendent. large
Fairgrounds should surround every
building. he said. and should be super
vised in summer as well as winter.
DR.. Ballou outlined to his audience
the workings of Junior high schools
and suggested that the study of mod
ern languages be made available to
pupils of those schools. He claimed
that unless a foreign language was
studied by a child around the age of
fifteen he could never acquire a
practical speaking knowledge of it.
He argued this question from a physi-
ologfcal standpoint. Training in
printing and other trades was recon-
mended by DR.. Ballou for those stu
dents who know it will be impossible
for them to attend college.
No pupil should be graduated from
the public high schools of the city un-
less he has successfully completed a
course in American history and a
study Of the Constitution of the United
States, DR.. Ballou declared. 1t is true
he said, that this history is taught in
the elementary schools. but he claimed
the mind is more mature in later years
and the pupil can approach the subject
better.

the system to the administrative or

"If the Kemalist government ac-

GREEKS BURNED TOWNS,
SAYS BRITISH OBSERVER
Viscount st. Davids Declares They
Also Robbed and
Killed Turks.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. September 21.-Strong
criticism OF the behavior of Greek
troops in the near east was made by
Viscount st. Davids, who presided at
the semi-annual meeting of the board
OF directors of the Ottoman railway
which operates from Smyrna to Adm,
in Asia Minor. The viscount said:
THE Greeks in their retreat burned
every village they saw. They robbed
Individual Turks. and when these re-
sisted they killed them. They did all
this near the front and without mill
tary necessity. They did it out Of
sheer righteousness. Our reports are
that it was done Systematically by
regular troops under orders. 1t was
done by the malice of men who knew
they could not hold the country and
meant TO make it worthless for any
one else"
The Greeks took from Smyrna a
number of leading Turks and deported
them to Athens, Viscount st. Davids
declared.
THE Greeks deserved all they got
and more" he said. King Constan-
tines servants are very bad fighters,
but they are first-class at robbery,
arson and murder"
The speaker said that the Greeks
were now quiet, but that the Ar
menians had resorted to bomb throw
ing, and In many ways prompted the
chances of massacre.

OFFICIALS HERE PUZZLED

BY the Associated Press.
Paris news dispatches announcing
that Vice Admiral Long Of the Amer
lean Navy had gone to Constantinople
to direct possible naval operations"
were not understood in official circles
here. where it was indicated that
participation of American warships In
any demonstration against the Turks
was not part OF the present Amer
ican policy toward the near eastern
problem.
At the Navy Department it was
said that SO far as the Washington
government had been advised, Ad-
miral Long was on board his flag
ship. the battleship Utah. either at
where the Utah is due on October 8.
He has planned to. go to CONSTANT
nople later. however, but only for the
purpose of observing conditions and
cooperating with Rear Admiral
Bristol in relief work.
The State Department likewise was
without official notification Of any
change in previous plans regarding
the disposition Of American warships
in European waters, and it was said
that the policy Of this government to
confine it's near eastern activities

Under present circumstances, off,
cials here foresee no likelihood that
American naval forces will be used
| for other than relief purposes unless
| it bcomes necessary to land bluejack-
cts or marines to guard American
!, lives and property. Even that possible
! ity is looked upon as remote.
1t has been the intention of Navy
Department officials to have Admiral
Long make his proposed trip to Con-
stantinople on the cruiser Pittsburgh,
which is due to leave Philadelphia
about October l. Under the plan the
admiral was to transfer his flag from
the Utah to the Pittsburgh. at Gibraltar
and then proceed to the near east Tor

WOMEN WILL SELL
$40 CT. RACERS
AND BUY OTHERS
Make $1,000 on $4,000 Invest
ment; Prove Theory Of
Cheap Makeup.

New York. July 1S.-The famous
syndicate string of race horses, once
dubbed by local sages of the saddle as
the five and 10 cent stable" will be
sold at the end of the racing season,
it was announced Tuesday by the two
women owners. who have made an in
come of $1,000 this year from a $1,000
investment in horseflesh.
The women. Mrs. r.. Penn Smith,
daughter of the late f. II. Hartman.
and Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark. wife of
a millionaire. think they have proved
that horse racing-usually regarded as
the sport Of kings-can be made a
means Of income for persons of mod
crate means. But they aren't through
demonstrating, for the horses sold this
year are to be replaced by a new in
expensive string. it was stated, and
the experiment will 60 on and on.
A year ago the two women race
enthusiasts calmly set II to prove
that blooded horses didn't require mil
lions of dollars in upkeep.
They bought nine yearlings. some of
them at 5000 and $500 each. One of
the horses. called "Scarecrow" because
of his appearance. won $1,000 in stakes
before he was sold for $1,000. Another.
called "Suspicion." bought for $500.
has won 81 600 in prizes. The total
winnings have brought the income of
the stable to $1,000.
