SCHOOL IN EDGEWOOD
IS NEARER REALITY
Supervisor of Fifth District to Rec
ommend Erection of Building,
Citizens Are Told.

A school in the territory of the
Edgewood Citizens Association was
brought O. step nearer when the school
committee reported to meeting of
the association last night in the Lin
coin Road M. E. Church that Selden
Nj. Ely, supervisor of the fifth district,
would recommend construction of a
school in that area to the Board of
Education. The proposed school will
go up at Fourth and Franklin streets.
Resolutions urging placing of an au-
tomato traffic light at the intersection
of Fourth and Rhode Island avenue
northeast were adopted and the secre-
tary was instructed to communicate
with traffic authorities to bring about
the installation.
Members of the association will con-
fer with officials of the Brookland and
Dahlgren Terrace associations within
a few days to define the boundaries of
the three associations. A conflict has
arisen over the right Of the associa-
tions to the territory between Seventh
and Ninth streets northeast. The
matter has previously been debated
between the Brookland and EdgeWood
associations.
Representative Allan r. Treadway
of Massachusetts, addressed the Edge
wood body last night on his recent trip
to Alaska. declaring that Alaska is
possible of great future development,
particularly in its fisheries. Piano
selections were rendered by Miss c. w.
Lund. Plans for dance to be given
at st. Martins Hall, North Capitol
and T streets, on January were dis
cussed.

BARONESS DESCRIBES
CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA.
Appeals for Support in Catholic
Near East Welfare Asso-
citation Work.

Baroness Catherine de Hueck, who
was decorated by the last Russian
court in recognition of her service as
nurse in the World War, described
to an audience in the Visitation Con
vent, in Georgetown. last night condi-
uons in Soviet Russia and the Near
East The baroness spoke under the
auspices OF the Catholic Near East
Welfare Association.
She was on her honeymoon when
the World War began. While her
husband hurried to his regiment at
the front. she donned the habit of a
nurse and shortly followed him.
Baroness de Hueck said she was in
Petrograd when the first revolution
began, but she returned to her duties.
When the bolsheviki seized the gov
ernment, she and her husband es-
capped to Finland. Her brothers, how
ever. were captured and shot before
they could escape, and her father,
too, met a tragic end.
Baroness de Hueck told what the
Catholic Near East Welfare Associa-
ton is doing for refugees in Asia
Minor and the Balkans and appealed
for the utmost assistance in support
Of it. The association, under the con-
troll of a national board, has as it's
active head Prof. Edmund A. Walsh,
S. j., vice president Of Georgetown
University.

George Washington: Man or Myth
By FRANK ". HUTCHINS.

( bit! 1t is caught up gleefully. Proof?
No trouble about that. Times are
selected when the mans diaries show
many Sundays without entry that he
| attended church-ergo, he did not at
tend. By such reasoning, he could
just as we'll be made out to have sell
dom attended the House of Burgess
ses-the diaries seldom mention his
doing So
But, waving that, why no word as
to the churches being miles from
Mount Vernon; as to the often i'm
passable roads; as to the many Sun
days when there were no services; as
to later years when he set a trouble
somely high standard for many
good churchgoers?
Washington as an illiterate man
more good stuff. Instead of treating
this matter fairly, giving credit to
him as we do to Lincoln for what
he accomplished despite meager early
opportunities. here are glee and
chortling over his errors in spelling.
Says one of these writers, ITO his
dying day the English language al
ways whipped him. Says the other,
1.-THE fantastic system of spelling that
bedeviled him to the end of his days.
= Alexander Hamilton could
spell, and SO could Jefferson and John
Dickinson and Benjiman Franklin.
Unfair comparisons every one!
But accept them. The fact is that
not one of these men always spelled
correctly. Good spelling was rare in
that day.
Benjamin franklin? Let us see.
According to his orthography, we may
say that he lived in PENNSYLVANIA"
perhaps in a "chearful' house with
dormant" windows: had an "agre-
able occupation as a printer, in
which he did "Italicking" and "capi-
falling" sometimes stopping only for
a ''bisket, "untill" he had an copper
tunity' 20 "chuse'' life abroad,
where he wore somewhat better
"cloaths" and "linnen" and was quick
to "shew" his culture In the most
"inticing" "doggrel" verse.
This from a mere skimming of the
manuscripts. Franklin, the printer
editor!
Thomas jefferson? Strange bio
graphical fairness to pit one of the
most highly educated men in America
against a man who lived in ceaseless
regret over the meager educational
advantages Of his youth! But again
waive the unfairness. Turn to the
writings of Jefferson-not to the
edited works, but to the manuscripts
in his own hand.
X X
Observe that this scholarly gentle
man rarely began a sentence with
capital-Washingto always did.
Now, following Jefferson's pen, we
may say that he lived in Virginia, not
"Kentucke'; was q man of much
"knolege," master of "verbel' express
sion, who always f'accomodated' the
needy, tipped the "horseler," and
whose fireside received" many friends
before it's ",handirons," till he, too,
"acknoleged" the call to go abroad.
and on the "voiage" saw many "pet.
trels," and then returned very "inde-
pendant" for the writer of the Decla-
ration of Independence.
If one or two Of these spellings were
rather accepted forms in that day,
equally were some now charged t
Washington. So much for folk set up
to spell Washington down. In truth,
Evening star., 1926-12-14

the result was almost the other way.
He improved as they did not and In
his later years made few errors aside
from those common among educated
men.
Such are the spirit and method of
these two books. Doubtless. as their
authors say. we do not yet fully know
the true George Washington. But
writer's of sensational best sellers
are not going to reveal him to us.
We shall come to know him better
only through the new scientific meth
ods of historical research and interpre-
tation.
And, Judging by the evolution SO
far. we are going to possess national
figure greater as man than as myth.
Meanwhile, on this anniversary day,
let us have the faith in him that hf
had in us. Always, in the midst of
detraction, he calmly looked forward
to the judgment of posterity. Always,
in a peculiar trust, he gave his name
into the keeping of those who shoul
come after. Always he said that they
would understand.

new NIGHT AIR MAIL.
PLANNED BY NEW.
Line Including Washington,
Philadelphia and New York
to Atlanta Considered.

A night air mail route, embracing
New York Philadelphia. Baltimore.
Washington and Atlanta, is possibil-
ity of the near future, according to
an announcement by Postmaster Gen
eral New made public today. Mr..
New said that bids will be called for
on a contract to operate an overnight
airmail route between these cities on
the Atlantic seaboard within a few
days.
Air mail officials have had the ques-
ton of a route between Washington
and Atlanta under consideration for
the last month, according to the Post
master General, and 1t seems likely
that the call will single out the CEN
traI route - through Richmond,
Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High
Point Charlotte and Greenville---be-
cause of the prospect of the greatest
mail business. Several aviation com
panies have signified their intention
to bid.
Excites Lively Interest.
The cities along the proposed routes
have evinced a lively interest in the
proposal. Various delegations Of citi-
rens from some of these cities have
approached the Post Office Department
with their claims. a number of land
ing field sites have been offered
Spartanburg. s. c., whose deiega-
tion presented that city's claims TO-
day. was promised consideration IN
the surveys to be made for the air
way.
Among the routes proposed is one
passing through Roanoke, BRISTOL
Knoxville and Chattanooga. pro-
spective bidder sent plane over this
route TO get pictures of the topogra-
phy. It was found to have many eX-
cellent sites for landing fields
However, the middle route. when
the Postmaster General thinks may
be chosen, presents some difficulties IN
the way of landing fields south OF
Charlotte. 1t is understood, however:
that communities along the route VIII
provide such fields.
The third route was laid through
Richmond, Raleigh, Columbia ana
Aungusta. This was not thought TO
be so attractive as either OF the TWO
others because of smaller revenue.
According TO the proposed schedule
all the flying will be done at night.
Planes will leave New York and At
lanta at O'Clock each evening and ar
rive at their respective destinations
at 6 o'clock in the morning. 1t Will be
necessary to light the airway. and this
will have to be takep care OF by con-
gressionalA appropriation under the
new air commerce act. Emergency
fields also must be provided every
fifteen miles and beacons placed over
the whole route

We have no policies," MT. Shedd told an interviewer who made an in- quiry as to the secret of the success of his business. we have certain fixed principles. When your princi- ples are right, you never need worry about your policies"
 Born on a farm near Altsead, New Hampshire, July 20, 1850, MT. Shedd's first employment was in the field of his fathers place. At 16 years of age, he virtually was driven from the homestead by a curious trick of fate such as usually is found in the life histories of many great men.
 Walking through the woods one day with his brother, with two buc- ket of maple sap attached to a yoke over his shoulders, the youth stumb- led, fell, and was drenched from head to foot in the gummy mess.
 When his brother had regained self-control after his fit of laughter at Johns predicament he asked:
 Well, what are you going to do?"
 The answer came like a flash:
 T am going to find something bet ter than farming" he said.
 Within few weeks he left the at Bellows Falls, Vt.. at $1.5O week and board. Here began the business career of country lad who was
