neglected, but the need Is paramount
now, and it must be met to develop the
mentality of the people so as to keep
pace with the mechanical improvement.
Discussing the casualties of the World
War, numbering one-third of the white
population of the United States, he said
that this was evidence that education
had not kept pace. Such a building
as he was speaking in, he said, would
serve to develop the mentality Of the
Nation, and, he pointed out, there is
only one thing to solve the ills of
mankind and that is knowledge, and
still more knowledge. But, he added,
even If it is absorbed in the schoolroorn.
it will be of little use unless it can be
applied afterward
The hatred between the peoples of
the nations of Europe, still manifest
since the World War, he said, is but Z
display of ignorance. 1t can only be
dissipated In the schoolroom by sowing
the seeds of understanding.
Senator Tydings characterized the
new building as the very latest word in
civic progress and added that It shows
real desire for the very best in Be-
thesda, and he congratulated the peo-
pie on receiving such "A splendid build
ing for themselves and children.
Figure on School Growth.
Supt. Broome said that he had ex-
amined the figures Of school growth
turing the past five years, and that they
had even been a surprise to him. He
pointed out that five years ago there
were only IL teachers In two schools in
the Bethesda Chevy Chase area, with
a total enrolment of 341 pupils. Today
ir Bethesda, he said, there we're Is
teachers and an enrolment Of 409, and
&ao xxrifk an
rollment of 346. In addition to these,
he said, there were 19 teachers in the
Bethesda Chevy Chase High School,
with 327 pupils, and in Somerset, six
teachers with LOG pupils. During the
five-year period, he said. the figures
showed, there has been gain OF 40
teachers and 853 children. There also
has been added three kindergartens.
In reality, he said. during this five
wear period, there had been created
almost an entirely new school system in
this section. The valuation of school
had increased from total
of $4,000 to $680,0O0. And he con-
cluded that there had been just as
great an increase in the interest of the
public as the difference in the FIVE
year figures.
The speaking program was inter-
spersed with piano solos by Misses
Dorothy Hobley and Burley Martin.
During the reception there was piano
and violin concert by Mrs. Amelia Ohm
stead and her two sons, Hugo and
Flournoy.
On the platform, in addition to the
speakers, were z. Brooke Lee, Silver
Spring, speaker of the Maryland House
of Delegates; DR.. Benjamin G. Perry,
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners, and in direct charge of the
western metropolitan district; DR..

 Wilh Present IlIeri0rity

\Fashineton, Sept. 24 P'-Any naval limitation agreement reached at the projected London conference of the five leading naval powers very probably will accord 10 Japan. France, and Italy a greater ratio with respect to the United States and Great Britain, in at least some of the categories of auxiliary craft. than now exists with respect to cap'iti 'it,F .,'.. oirNlaup carriers.
 Whether this increase in ratio VIII apply to tn" largest type Of cruia- "rs authorized under the Washing ton arms treaty is a question for the conference to decide, but Japan is expected to ask for an increase in its ratio Of all types of cruisers this category of 70 per cent of the British and American totals. as con- pared to the sixty per cent now ap- plying 10 capital ships.
 France and Italy are expected 10 obtain a considerable increase in
 
 marines, since these types are re- gard"d as their greatest defense weapons in view Of the small size of the fleets of capital ships which they agreed to accept at the Wash ington conference.
 While there is no official informa- ton on the subject. the view is en- tnrtainod in som" quarters here that they also will ask for higher cruiser ratios
