Congestion OF Population.


Congestion OF Population.
But that speculation has little more
than an academic value to US. Our
CITY and town authorities are called
to deal with the practical question of
adjusting themselves to conditions
that could not have possibly been an
ticipated. Billions Of dollars in prop
erty value. not TO mention the whole
mode of living for many millions OF
people, are involved.
"It seems fairly certain that II, a
half century ago, men could have fore
seen this transportation revolution,
thev would have agreed that 1t meant
an end to the congestion of popula,
ton in the limited areas OF cities. Ii
would have been assumed that when
once the business man and the work
ing man found themselves BILE to live
MANY miles away from their employ
ment. there would Immediately begin
a sweeping redistribution of popula-
ton, spreading it over wider areas and
organizing it in quite different com
munties.
yet experience has been quite con-
trary. Instead of using the new tran
sit facilities to end oyercrowding, peo-
pie have seemed determined TO crowd
themselves more than ever. The apart
ment house, the ky-schaping COM
mercial building and the elevator
have tended to increase congestion.
Electric railways, subways and motor
cars have tended to diffusion of the
people. 1t must be said that thus far
the victories have been all on the side
of the skyscra pers, the elevators and
an ever-increa sing congestion OF pop
ulation.
Disadvantages In Cities.
Some recent studies by engineers
and sociologists have led to doubts
whether the superior efficiency of the
yery great cities as business, indus
trial and cultural centers can be
taken altogether for granted. They
have advantages, but they also have
disadvantages and the disadvantages
seem to be multiplying fastest.
II do not presume 10 Judge between
those investigators who conclude that
the cities must inevitably so on with
their rapid rate of growth, and these
others who tell us that transporta'
ton and industrial program must be
made to counteract this tendency and
bring diffusion of the population
masses. But it must be apparent
that whichever view is correct many
and difficult and costly readjustments
must be made. There IS need Tor
funda mental and courageous
consideration of all the questions in
volved.
"They reach hundred times deeper
than the more superficial problem
of getting streams of motor cars
moved through city streets. They
have to do with the elementals of
social organization They concern
vital phases of community welfare
and progress. The physical config.
uration of our cities, the direction of
the mighty currents of the Nation S
commerce, the continent wide distribu.
ton of population and industry-these
are all included among the problems
with which you gentlemen are deal.

Won Webster's Aid.

For two years MIR. Wilson was as
sociated with a Mr.. Churchill in con-
Quoting a private school. This was
known as the Mcleod Seminary, and
was located on Ninth street between
G. and H streets. In 1850 he was ap-
pointed to a position in the Treasury
Department through the influence of
Daniel Webster. Senator from his
State and great son of his alma mater.
He remained in Government service
until 1859. He took a course in law
and was admitted to the bar of the
District of Columbia in 1868.
THE public school system of the
District of Columbia was established
in the first years of the nineteenth
century. Able and high-minded citi-
zens constituted it's board of trustees
and it's beginning seemed auspicious.
But the good seed was long in germi-
mating. Free public schools were not
popular locally. They were generally
looked upon as pauper or charity
schools. This prevailing sentiment,
coupled with wholly inadequate financ-
ing allowed by the city council year
after year. caused the schools to fall
into very low repute.

ton OF the schools of the city point.
