Park View School Open at Night
To S1l0lu Parents HO,v 1t Works

"And then the whining schoolboy
with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping
like snail
Unwillingly to school"
Thus Shak espeafe described the
schoolboy of his day. But had the
bard visited Park View School last
night he would no doubt have
changed his lines.
There were no shining faces, but
plenty of smiling faces among the
children at the school. which was
thrown open to inspection. with
classes in full swing, at a joint meet
ing Of the Park View Citizens Asso-
citation and Mothers Club.
Each person was escorted around
the building by a bright-eyed miss
who seemed to know the workings
of everything. Those who think that
the District public schools are not
turning out good material from their
classes should have had one of these
young guides show them around.
Schoolboys Mt Work.
On approaching the woodwork
shop the little guide turned and said
in very grown-up manner, Here.
sir. you will find the place where the
Park View boys study woodcraft and
learn to become useful with their
hands," as she pointed to number
of youngsters saving and hammer
ing on various useful articles that
they were making.
In that room over there dramatic
art is taught, and YOU know there
are lots of benefits from such
studies continued the young sage
rs she led one around to the various
classrooms. in which fond mothers
were discussing their Willie's COM
position that they had found on his
desk. put there FOR inspection by the
visitors. One was led into classes
that were singing and learning the
principles of music. In another room
there were the future housewives of
the country learning to sew. Truly.
Shakespeare would have been amazed
If he had been one of those who were
shown the miniature town built from
blocks by the tots in the kinder
"arten. There is the Capitol and
there the Union station and the
Washington Monument and the Park
View School-all built out of blocks
by the children in the kindergarten"
said the ever ready guide.
There was On display a museum
with all sorts of curious things from
German helmets captured in the
world war to animal fossils. all COL
lected by pupils Of the school. In
other rooms were shown drawings.

DR.. TiEert Speaks.
John T. Tigert. United States COM
missioner of education, addressed the
parents and children and told them
that if the District had a vote 1t
| would also have the finest school
frage for the District Of Columbia
and declared, in comparing the sweep
| ing powers of the minister of educa-
tion in European government with
his own powers. that progress could
not be made with the school systems
throughout the country until the
voters were enlightened in regard to
the matter. because. he pointed out,
they control the systems Of the coun-
try.
There are too many people inter-
ested moro in how to handle their au-
tomobiles than they are in who ham
die and teach their children" declared
Mr.. Tigert. in urging higher pay for
the teachers: He pointed out that
there was twenty times as much
money being spent for cigars. cigar
cites and cosmetics than there was
being spent for education by the ma
ton. He urged that at least the
people of the District should have a
voice in their school matters.

Needles and Pins.

A generation ago most families who
could afford to have house of their
own had sewing room. Our mothers
and erandmothers would not have
known how to keep house without
such room. Sometimes 1t was a
light. airy room on the third floor.
occasionally in old houses a small
room off the kitchen wing of the
ground floor Sometimes it was one
of the rooms known as spare rooms
that were devoted to guests when
occasion demanded. 1t was the room
that the seamstress or dressma ker
occupied during her vsitations If
she came for a week, as was often
the case. she was quite apt to sleep
there.
The difficulty in not having a sew
Ing room is that 1t Is so difficult to
establish system whereby you and
other members of the family can al
ways lay hands on needles, and
threads. pins, scissors. buttons and
mending materials generally. The
modern housewife who lives in a
four-room fiat or a six-room cottage
replies to her husbands query: "Oh.
you'll f1nd the things in my work
bag. It's hanging on doorknob
somewhere l don't believe the but
tons are In the bag. though There
are some In cup on the second shelf
In the pantry"
This II is we'll to bear in mind:
Your household problems become easy
as they become simplified If the
| problem of getting mendt1g materials
always amounts to exactly the same
thing, If you have to go through the
same motions always to get needle
and thread. scissors and buttons, then
you are eliminating needless friction
| that wears on strained nerves
So. If you haven't a sewing room.
at least try to arrange a sewing nook.
Have table with drawers in your
bedroom wherein you can keep your
sewing material.
