lockwood SCHOOL
FACES LONG DELAY
Citizens Told Building Of Kinder
garten Not Likely Very
Soon.

The possibility Of a kindergarten
school in the near future for Edge
wood is remote, according to Selden
M. Ely, District supervising principal,
who addressed members of the Edge
wood Citizens Association last night
at the Lincoln Road NJ. Z. Church.
The site recommended and upon
which the association has an option,
at Fourth and Franklin streets north
east, is not included in the present
five-year school-building program.
Edgewood children of kindergarten
are forced to go considerable
distance to attend classes at Emery
School
Mr. Ely informed the association of
recent correspondence between DIR.
Frank w. BaJlou, superintendent of
schools, and himself relative to the
possibility of new school for Edge
wood, which did not promise immedi-
ate action. A recommendation by Mr..
Ely that the proposed site be consid-
cred either at the end of the present
f1ve-year program or at the beginning
of the next five-year program brought
q reply from DIR. Ballou that evidence
should first be produced to show the
urgency of the EdgeWood needs to
gain priority over the other items on
the current building program
1.-THE school board must prepare it's
estimates in accordance with the needs
of the city as a whole" DR. Ballou
wrote to Mr.. Ely yesterday before the
latter addressed the association.
George r. Marble, president of the
association, who presided at the meet
ing, announced an enrolment of $50
new names during the recent mem
berShiD drive.

deeds would save the office approx
mately $4,000 during it's first year
and 100000 thereafter by installing
machinery costing approximately
Sc 900.
Il have in mind following up many
of these projects relating to the Dis
trict government" Mr.. Brown said,
and seeking the cooperation of the
District government in making joint
purchases with the Federal depart
mentS."
You have the hearty cooperation
of this committee" Mr.. Gibson said,
in any project resulting in the saving
Of money to the District government"
Representative Hammer of North
Carolina examined the witness in de-
tail regarding the method of making
contracts, ascertaining that short
term contracts of three months was
the pooled arrangement of the General
supply Committee to prevent too great
a loss on a falling market and to gain
on Il rising one.
Richard F'ourchy, engineer at the
Bureau of Efficiency, supplemented de-
tails regarding brick manufacture at
Occoquan. He said last years produc-
ton was approximately 4,400,000
bricks.
A long table of items showing diff

ferences in prices paid by the Dis
trict government and by the Federal
Government for articles in common
use was submitted and made part OF
the record.
The District government had the
better price on coal Oil, however, 1t
was testified, since the local govern
ment used more of that item than did
the United States 1t was suggested
that the United States might effect a
saving from having this item and
some others which the District gov
eminent might get better prices on
because of quantity purchasing power
pooled through the General Supply
Committee.
1t is necessary to have the contracts
for such items signed by the District
Commissioners for the District gov
eminent, while Secretary Mellon signs
for the Federal departments, but it
was suggested that duplicate sets OF
contracts could be drawn up by the
General Supply Committee to over
come this obstacle in pooled pur-
chases.

HOSPITAL MARKS
MEMORIAL WARD
ChiIdren's Room Dedicated
as Tribute to Work of
Mrs. WeStCott.

The services attending the dedica'
ton of a six-bed ward at Children's
Hospital Yesterday afternoon lasted
scarcely twenty minutes, yet the
labors Of thirty years for the welfare
Of that hospital We're honored with
reverent sincerity that hours Of eulogy
could not have increased.
Members OF the board of directors
of the hospital. and members Of the
women's visiting board met With rep
resentatiVes Of the hospitals staff in
n bright new room to honor the
memory Of Mrs. Horace II. Westcott
active thirty years on the women :
visiting board, who died a year ago
last September. The room in which
the service was held was dedicated as
the Keaths Rodgers Westcott Me
mortal Ward
Rev. T.. s. Dunlap, canon of the
National Cathedral at Mount ST. AL
ban. opened the services with prayer
and Cuno II. Rudolph, former District
Commissioner was the first speaker.
He talked briefly. but paid earnest
tribute to Mrs. Westcott when, in re-
ferring to the many vacancies created
by death in all walks of life, he SAID:
Sometimes these vacancies are
a long while to fill them; Mrs. West
colts place never Will be filed"
Never Cohen, a member of the hos
pital board and chairman OF the
Westcott memorial fund committee,
was the second speaker, ana ne
declared that Mrs. Westcott's name
is inscribed in the memory of all her
associates in the work for Children
Hospital.
Mrs Frederick II. Brooke, a fellow
member of Mrs. Westcott on the
womens visiting board, read the
resolution which was adopted by the
board at the time of Mrs. Westcott' S
death and then she drew back the
veil which covered the bronze tablet,
on which is legended: THE Keats
Rodgers Westcott Memorial Ward"
The last speaker to pay tribute to
Mrs. WeStcoIt was DR.. Samuel Adams,
chief of the medical staff of the hos
pital and member of the board for so
years. He told of the admission on
the board in 1885 of Mrs. John
Rodgers and the in 1895 of the ad-
mission Of her daughter, Miss Keats
Rodgers. who later became Mrs.
Westcott. He told glowingly of her
work for the hospital while she was
on its board and he declared that 1T
Is pleasure TO refect Jhat one nad
lived practically lifetime in the serv-
ice of Others" OF Mrs. Westcott, he
said: She was one of the sweetest
characters l have known in private or
public life
And among those who attended the
service was the mother who preceded
her daughter in the work for Chill
dren's Hospital by only 10 years, Mrs.
John Rodgers.
Another little prayer this time for
those who worked for the hospital,
for those who will minister to the
children who will soon find their way
to the new ward and the party with.
drew, leaving for the hospital, per-
manently endowed, the Keats Rod.
