ROCKVILLE, Md. March 10.-Urg-
ing the Montgomery County Board Of
Education to name the school to be
erected at Glen Echo or Cabin John
Bridge in honor of Clara Barton. who
lived for % years in Montgomery
County, w. Fl. Sears, who was Miss
Barton's secretary and field agent, has
written the board giving a resume of
Miss Barton's services for humanity:
when her poor body was being
transferred across the city in New
York, from the Twenty-secomd street
ferry to the Union Station, from Glen
Echo, on its way to it's last resting
place at oxford, Mass, the letters says
in part, "the driver, an Irishman,
asked: who is it We got in that box?'
DIR. Underhill replied: That is the
body of Clara Barton The driver
dropped the lines and raising his
hands said: My God. Clara Barton!
Why, my father was Confederate
soldier and he was shot through the
neck at the battlefield Of Antietam, and
Clara Barton found him and bound up
his wound and saved his life, and now
the likes of me haulin her poor body
across the city" When they reached
the station he took off his hat and
helped carry and place the casket in
the baggage car.
,AAs weighed and measured by her
achievements Clara Barton was the
greatest woman this country, II rot
the whole world, has produced. She
was a great school teacher and taught
for 20 years. She founded the first
public school at Bordentown, N. j.,
starting with and ending with 600
pupils with five assistant teachers, all
at her own expense. Recently the city
of Bordentown rebuilt the school build
ing it erected for her, and dedicated
it to her name with imposing cere-
monies.
''She was the first woman clerk in
the Government service in Washing
ton, under Mason, Commissioner Of
Patents, was in charge of caveats,
and Mason said she was the most COM
petent clerk he had.
'She was on 20 battlefields of the
Civil War, amid flying bullets and
bursting shells, giving first aid to the
wounded. And her relief work there
was real Red Cross work; for she took
care of the Confederate wounded as
well as the Federal, making no dis
tinction. She once told me this story:
"At the battle of Fredericksburg
found five Confederate soldiers badly
wounded. 1t was just at daylight.

OF 100000 as compared with last

In a statement accompanying the

from f6S1 900 to 1852 900. But econ

tions, allowing for net reduction in
the estimates.
During 1927 two new battleships,
replacing four scrapped in accord
ance with the Washington agree
ment, will join the Atlantic fleet.
They are the Nelson and Rodney.
The 1927 program includes provi-
sion for starting one class A cruiser,
