BALLOU SAYS CITY
YEARLY MUST ADD
2OSCHOOLROOMS
Enrolment Increases 800 An
nuaIIy, Explanation of g.
Year Plan States.
PROPOSED ALLOTMENT
OF FACILITIES OUTLINED
Superintendent Says Space Must
Be Provided Where Greatest
Growth Looms.

The Fact Basis of Five Year
Building Program for the District of
Columbia" the most comprehensive
outline ever written of the lack of
school accommodation, and the pro-
posals to remedy it, was made public
today by Supt. of Schools Frank w.
Ballou. Still incompleted as far as the
high schools are concerned, the report
covers 81 pages, describing in detail the
lack Of Accommodations in every division
in the school system. together with the
plans for relief as provided in the five
year building program now before Con-
gress.
The purpose of the report. DR.. Bal
lou points out, is to set forth in de-
tail the facts on which the proposed
fiye-year school building program Is
based. Statistics showing the. growth
of the school population annually
since 1912 and the number of addi-
tional rooms needed to meet the ac-
cumulated shortage of schoolhouse
accomm odations over this period, as
well as to provide for the prospective
increase in the next five years, are
Incorporated.
500 Pupils Added Yearly.
The average annual enrolment in
crease since 1914, the report shows, is
1913 pupils. ANY adequate building
program" it said, must make pro-
vision for an increased enrolment in
the elementary schools of 500 pupils
per year. This means that 20 addi-
tional classrooms should be opened
each year"
IF the estimated annual increase
in enrolment during the next five
years materializes, the program of
schoolhouse construction as outlined
herein will be insufficient to the
extent of one years development.
If. on the other hand, the increased
enrolment does not materialize dur
ing the next five years. the building
program can be modified accordingly.
as the yearly appropriations are
made"
DR.. BSllou explained that every
recommendation of the various civic
bodies for relief in certain sections
of the city is included in the build
ing program, in addition to others
which school authorities deemed
necessary.
"On the basis of increased enroll
ment from 1914 through 1924" adds
the report, sit has been estimated that
100 additional classrooms viii be
needed in a five-year period. or 20
classrooms per year, 1t now becomes
necessary to distribute these 100
rooms among the elementary school
divisions. Obviously, the 100 rooms
should be distributed over the five
years as uniformly as practica BILE. The
distribution of these 100 classrooms
among the 13 elementary school divi-
sions is more difficult. Since these
classrooms are to meet increased en-
rollment, they must be distributed
where it is believed that increased
enrolment will most likely take
place"
The first division will get 16 of the
100 additional classroomS, the sec
ond division 8, the third division 20.

Russia Not Lenient With Its
 MOOnShinerS

Moscow, June Is P-Bootlegging in Russia is as great an evil as it is in the United States. The illicit manufacture of vodka, which is 96 per cent pure alcohol. is universal throughout the country. The pris- ons are crowded with men and wom- en convicted of bootlegging. Every day the government confscates hun dreds of home brewing stills, exiling the owners 10 Siberia or sentencing them from one to three years at hard labor.
 Declaring it had found complete prohibition failure, the govern ment has recently permitted the manufacture and sale of 30 per cent vodka and by October 1 will allow 40 per cent vodka This 1t Is hoped will stop the widespread illicit manufacture. The new order has been hailed with joy by innkeepers, restaurants and the Russian public generally.
 Although punishment for violation of the vodka prohibition act in Russia Is almost as severe as the penalty prescribed by the American government for violation of the Vol stead dry law, vodka is found at every well-ordered meal in Russian i homes. Tn many cases 1t Is home made from common potatoes, rye, raisrs, sugar or even ordinary honey. while in other instances it is Of the pure bootleg variety de-

English Inaugurate Move to

Hertford, Eng, June 15 Pe- Strenuous efforts are being made here and in other agricultural dis tricts of England 10 save the pie turesque fashioned vii a 2 blacksmith from passing into ob- livion. The smith of England today is not "toiling and rejoicing to draw undue attention to himself. but is "sorrowing" great deal more than in the days when Long, fellow idealized him - all because of the advent of the automobile and the motor tractor.
 In their desire 10 save" the will lage blacksmith the HCrttordshire county council members announced recently particulars of a plan de- signed 10 keep alive the decaying industry which has been so hard hit by the modern organization of the big manufacturers and their agents who supply standardized parts of farm implements and ma chincry on lines of mass produc- ton. The ministry of agriculture too has become interested in the scheme to prevent the passing of the black smith and has agreed to cooperate | in the movement,
 Special committees appointed to 1 investigate the plight of the smithy have reported that there are many articles in popular remand which cannot be satisfactorily produced by factory methods because of the skill and the handiwork of the craftsman which should count more than mere cheapness, With a view of giving the village blacksmith ( new lease on life a special exhibit

 Wine of good quality can be had all Over Russia. The government has found 1t expedient to permit the manufacture and consumption of wine for purposes of revenue and to save the extensive Russian vine yards in the Caucasus, the Crimea and Armenia from economic ruin. The manufacture and sale of beer also is allowed. Breweries for merly owned by individuals have passed into the hands of the gov ernment, which operates the brew cries through state trusts.

BINGHAM DEFENDS
 AIRPLANE GRANTS
Says Much of Money Allowed by
 U. s. Was Never Spent

New Haven, June 1S Pl-Speak- ing at an aviation luncheon at the Lawn club here yesterday Mayor Fitzgerald intinated that the board of aldermen would take up the matter of an airport for New Ha- ven soon, Governor John H. Trum- bull pledged further interest in the question of aviation. recalled last winters appropriation of SgO,oOO to advance flying interest under the Connecticut National Guard and urged New Haven 10 institute an air port as Hartford has done, and a detailed report of commercial avia- ton the country over was given by United States Senator Hiram Bing- ham.
 Major Talbot Freemen, head of the Connecticut National Guard fly ing interests said that there are now 50 fiers in the state, going up and coming down without peril, and told of the growing interest as citi- gems become acquainted with the fly Ing machine and what 1t can do. The luncheon was held under the au- spices of the New Haven air board and the unit of the American Aero nautical association of which Col. Horner is president.
 In tracing the developments of dying, Sen. Bingham said that avia- ton had been over advertised. Speaking of war days, the senator paid that congress had appropriated ss4o,Oo0.00O without debate and there was an expectation of 22,OOO planes within a few months, But IL did not happen, he continued, and public opinion reacted. It was for gotten. he said, that there were nc landing places nor oil nor gas for such a fleet.
 "There was another appropriation of s1,5o0000," he continued. Near ly half of it was set a1ide for con- tracts never filled and of course never paid for; but the people die not stop for that; they merely said sold again"
 Senator Bingham said the idei that the United States had no plane' was in error. Only few were made on this side, he continued, but neal the end of the war there were many paid for and manned by Americans and properly credited to this na tion.
 Declaring that the United State' was the only government which hat done nothing for commercial avia tion, Senator Bingham said he would propose a bureau of civil air service in the commerce department Washington. He advocated many al fields at short distances apart an' said that in promotin gthese tn federal and state governm9ts would work together.
 Governor Trumbull urged tn state to install air ports declarln that If New England is to keep pac with the rest of the country, 1t mus not neglect this new form Of trans portation. He spoke of the air DOT at Hartford as a model that shoul be followed by other cities in Ne' England.

BY SAMUEL MccREA CALVERT
Secretary of the Federal Council of Churches

Some future historian, writing
the records of Europe and the Near
East in these days when armies
fought and won and lost, in this age
when governments rose and fell, in
this time when nations struggled
mad1y with each other for economic
mastery, will set down that the great
est influence of all in the final de-
velopment Of the problem, was the
quiet work of the American relief
organizations. \
It is America which has introduced
a new motive into international pol
itics, the new-old motive of the Gold
en- Rule. After nineteen centuries,
there has come out Of the West, from
the youngest of the nations, voice
that speaks and a force that acts,
from other motives than pure politi-
cal seIfishness.
The humanitarian and educational
work of America in the Near East
is more than just an emergency or
ganization for saving human life.
1t may become the great educa-
tional organization which more than
any other force now existing will
prove the turning point for building
a new international solidarity based
on good will and mutual understand
ing.
On Golden Rule Sunday. December
9Th, our thoughts will be directed to
these problems. 1t will be day for
meditation and thought on>world af-
fairs, not merely for compassion and
pity, but with motive of desire to
rebuild a tottering world. Our for
eign relief organizations are great
agencies of international good will,
interpreting TO the world the better
side of America.
In day when so many of our
people have provincial attitudes. SO

Science Called On to
Come to Natures Aid

Some alarm has been caused recent
ly by the announcement that, the Mat
terhorn is In distinctly shaky condi-
ton, and may topple over into the
Italian valley above which 1t towers.
Similar fears were entertained some
twenty years ago regarding the Rocher
de la Clusette, in the Jura, which then
threatened to fall into the valley of
the Arouse. Had this happened, the
valley would have been blocked, and
the flow of water, on which the dis
trict depended for its supply Of cleo
tricity, would have been stopped.
Immediate action had to be taken to
avert this calamity, which would have
plunged the countryside in darkness
and disorganized it's transport. En-
gineers rushed to the spot, the noun
tain was shored up with concrete, and
all was well once more.
