The task of re-creatng the colonial seat of gov ernment would go forward under the direction of the holding corporation All evidences of mod ern days would be removed. Motion picture houses restaurants. telephone poles. and all the trade marks of the present day would exist no more

It is not planned to compel present of old colonial homes to sell them to the corporation, but options would be requested in view of future sales.
 Dr. Goodwin who for has been interested ID tne preservation of the remaining landmarks of virginia colonial history, fig quoted follows
 "For some time have cherished the hope that Mr. Ford might be and doubtless would be inter- ested fin making contribution to the United States of the old colonial capital of Virginia
 Williamsburg was associated with all the great debates resolutions and actions which resulted fin the establishment of federal government It Is distinctly the most interesting colonial relic which now stands fin America and should be rescued and preserved Unless something is done in the next few years, it will be too late"

the rear and left or from the left
alone. and the ceiling shall be ~
feet high.
The heating and ventilation shall
meet the requirements of the law. In
the simplest type of building, the
jacketed stove with fresh air duct
constitutes the minimum require
ment- The protected fire place. as
provided in the new type of build
ing, adequately meets the ventilation
requirement for rural schools. In
all buildings proper escapes for foul
air must be provided.
The building shall present a rea
sonably neat appearance, and must
be kept clean and sanitary.
At least two sanitaries must be
provided for each school building.
The simplest type which will meet
the minimum requirement is the fly
proof pit privy. Sanitary require
ments ust be studiously observed in
order to secure the special fund.
A water-eooler with individual

fountain attachment, must be pro-

The provision for instruction in

The daily schedule shall make
ample provision, first of all for the
first five grades. BY ample provision
is meant a daily schedule which will
give the beginners and those pupils
in the second, third and fourth
grades an opportunity for recita-
ton period in each subject every day.
The State course of study for the
elementary grades must be follow
ed. A reasonable grouping of classes
should be made in order to reduce
the number of separate recitations.
Emphasis ought to be put on the
study period and on teaching pupils
how to study, rather than altogether
upon the period of recitation.
