PHYSICAL TRAINING
Increase of 100 in Number of
Teachers Makes Increased
Program Possible.

With an increase of 100 in the
teaching force in the District public
schools. officials are preparing to
launch an extensive physical training
propaganda for the students during
the coming year. Heretofore the
teaching force has had to be en-
ployed almost exclusively for aca-
demic subjects.
1t is the plan of the school authori-
ties to bring every student in the
grades and high school under physi-
cal supervision, so that teachers can
advise the parents of any defects In
the pupils that may occur from time
to time.
Facts Shown by Survey.
In a survey of the school children
of the District 1t has been found that
a large number have defects of some
sort, such as bad teeth, hearing. nose
trouble, and many other ailments.
The increase in the number of
students attending the high schools
will necessitate the allotment of
about thirty-two additional teachers
to that department of the school sys-
tenn. Courses have also been planned
in domestic art and domestic science
at the new Eastern High School
These courses were not taught in the
old Eastern High, which has now
been turned into a junior high school.
Many Applications Filled.
Stephen E. Kramer, assistant su-
perintendent of schools, hRs been
besieged with applications from those
desirous Of joining the teaching force
of the District public schools. The
number of applications has been more
than Is needed.

Constructive criticism Is always

3AMER|CANS HURT
AS PLANE CRASHES
Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas Smith
Among Victims of Acct
'dent in England.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MAIDSTONE, England, August 2s.-
Three Americans. whose home ad-
dresses have not yet been learned
were among those injured when a
French passenger airplane fell to
earth near Maidstone last night.
Their names are: Mrs Douglas
Smith, who is suffering from broken
nasal bones and cuts on her body;
Douglas Smith, who received frac-
tured elbow. and Albert Austin, suf-
fering from shock. The three pa
tients are being cared for in the home
of a physician at Mailing, near here.
Mrs. Smith said today that the air.
plane had had trouble before the ac-
cident happened and was forced to
descend near the coast.
Tells of Accident.
Just before the accident" she con-
tinued. II changed places from the
front to the rear of the machine when
we were ordered to do so. We knew
something was wrong. The weather
was heavy and stormy.
II thought we were going to make
forced landing just before we
crashed, but suddenly we went right
up again and swerved violently.
I'VE seemed to be swaying from one
side to another, and then came a
sickening downward rush. 1t was all
most sudden. but I never lost heart.
1t is a miracle that we are alive"
The pilot Of the machine, realizing
that a crash was coming, shut off
the engine, and to this precaution
is ascribed the fact that the wreck
age did not take fire.
