Washington Letter

By HERBERT C. PLUNrNrER

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Youth and everything as
ISOLATED with it holds full sway in room No. 234 Of the
house OF representatives office building on capitol hill
For here is located the baby congressman OF the
seventy-first session-Frei A. Hartley. Jr.-and w
Manley Sheppard, his secretary, two years younger
than his boss.
Representative Hartley is Is years old. His secre-
tary is barely "a. Together they are locking after the
welfare OF more than 100000 people living in two OF
the largest counties in New Jersey.

YOUTH NO ID

But his youth is no handicap to the baby congress
man" Long ago he forgot that.
He quit school to marry when he was only IL. He
was appointed a member Of the library commission
Of his home town Of Kearny when he was 10. At the
age Of 90 he was made city commissioner. At the age
Of p he was chairman Of the republican county COM
mittee. A year later he was reelected city commits
sioner Of Kearny. serving two terms as fire and police
commissioner.
And in November Of last year, four months before
he reached the age Of rs. he was elected to congress.
And don't forget. he told the writer. Il was put
into every single one Of those Jobs by less than 1000
votes over my opponents.
His choice as city commissioner was by a margin of
zoo votes. He was reelected by 400. He gained a
berth on the republican county committee by only 10
votes He was sent to congress with only 32l votes
to spare, and then only after a recount.
Hartley regards his contest for congress the greatest
thrill he has ever experienced. A stalwart organiza-
ton republican, he was turned down cold by his party
leaders because Of his youth. Not to be daunted. he
entered the primary as an independent and won the
nomination by TIA votes.
How they did taunt me with my lack Of age in
that campaign he said. People constantly we're
telling me that they agreed with my platform. but
they could not vote to send a kid to congress. NY
manager al Bayonne got his jaw broken at one stormy
rally. Only q miracle saved my uncle from having his
skull crushed with the butt Of a gun. And there's no
"e9 ~ UcAIlB now many autOmOble tires / bought
due to the malice Of my foes"
To meet the opposition % his youth Hartley adopted
as his campaign slogan: 1T took a 26-year-old boy
70 carry the spirit Of America to Paris. Wen have a
2e-year-old boy to carry the spirit of the eighth con-
gressional district to Washington.
Il worked. He won the nomination. Entering the
general election, he based his campaign on national
issues. The vote was tabulated and he was $40 shy.
He demanded a recount and put up $4,000. Some
$4,000 ballots were counted again and he had an Of
ficial majority Of 344.
he got his certificate Of election. hired an airplane
and flew to Washington to file it.
He is the father Of three children, two boys and one
girl.
Hartley expects to be be seen rather than heard
in congress during the next two years. he plans in
Producing no legislation. His ambition is 10 50 serve
his constituents that they will return him for another
term.

At the monthly meeting Of the German

John Hareett. plans for the year were
discussed and announcement was made
that all desiring to become members should

Residents along the Rockville pike last

the 300-foot frontage of the airport at

the ground that they would be the opening

New Road Sought.

Although the early elimination of the
Baltimore road Grade crossing of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad in Rockville has, it
is known, been definitely decided upon by
the State Roads Commission, by the sub
stilution of an overhead bridge about 200
yards to the south of the crossing, it is
understood to be doubtful if the route OF
the approach from the Baltimore road to
the overhead bridge will be as surveyed by
engineers of the commission last week.
The survey. as announced at the time
fixes the approach as passing through and
very seriously damaging several pieces of
private property and intersecting the Bal
timore road at Grandin avenu.. two blocks
to the east of the present Grade rossine.
Robert G. Hilton, who is member of the
Maryland National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission and a resident of Rock
vile, is said to feel that better approach,
all things considered. than the one sur
veyed could be selected.
Mr.. Hilton has been giving the matter
some attention since the survey was made
and has announced his purpose of having
Engineer Root, of the Park and Planning
Commission, look the situation over and
submit drawings calling for different
approach than that selected by the State
Roads Commission.
The county commissioners. the town au'
thorities and the Rockville Chamber OF
Commerce are also giving the project con-
sideration and are expected to recommend
that the approaches to the overhead be as
favored by the Park and Planning Commits
sion and which are not expected to seri-
ously damage any private property.
1t is understood that work on the project
will not be started for some months.

The Public Schools.

The public schools of the county opened
with an unusually fine prospect for the
school year. The reports so far received
on the first enrolment indicate that in the
white schools the number will exceed g.
600 pupils. with approximately 1000
children in the colored schools. The county
enrolment will. when completed. exceed
10000 children in the schools. This num-
Der marks an increase that is consistent
with the county development. 1t was an
ticipated that the increase would be
between 800 and 400 over the past year.
The present indications from the first day
enrolment the increase will be about 800
pupils.
In the plan of school work for the year
an increased emphasis has been placed on
the provision for Art. Music, Industrial Arts.
Diversified Shop for boys. Agriculture for
boys in the Rural High Schools and for
Home Arts domestic Science) for girls.
These special departments characterize the
modern effort in Education to build up for
the pupils techniques involved in modern
social living. The departments become
increasingly important.
The greatest professional undertaking
for the year centers around the revision OF
the Course of Study. This is work of the
very greatest Importance both to the
teachers and to the children in the schools
The county is happily able to have the
cooperation of the Curriculum Research
Bureau of Teachers College of Columbia
University in working out the Course o.
Study revision. The outstanding contribu
ton to Course of Study work has been made
through the Curriculum Research Bureau
While this work necessarily extends ovel
a period of several years. the special fielC
of work for the current year will be in the
Social Sciences for both the Eementar,
grades and High Schools
