LAYS CORNER STONE
FOR$181,ODOSCHOOL
Bishop Freeman 0fficiateS at
Ceremonies Held at Mount
st. Adams.

Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop
of Washington, yesterday laid the
corner stone of the S181, 900 building,
which will be erected on Mount st.
Alban for the lower school of st. Adams,
the National Cathedral School for Boys.
In his dedicatory address, Bishop
Freeman stressed the significance of the
legend, For Church and Country"
which is inscribed on the corner stone,
and asserted that in the present age
with ''its orgy of excuses and its undue
emphasis upon self expression" there is
need for a Well-balanced system OF edu-
cation, "the kind that produces men
loyal to the state and its ideals, because
loyal to God"
Moral Training of Youth, Topic.
After noting that there is an in
creasing recognition of the problem OF
moral training Of youth, Bishop Free
man continued: "A school that is de-
signed to meet the demands of our time
must recognize soul values as well as
mind values. It must address itself to
the whole life of our youth, body, mind
and spirit. consistent amount of
physical exercise and indulgence in
athletic sports contributes to sound
bodies. A carefully designed curriculum,
under competent teachers, makes for
intellectual development and the en-
richment of the mind A well-propor-
toned and finely conceived moral and
spiritual training develops the soul and
Stabilizes the character.
Large as such a task may be, we are
resolutely undertaking here the creation
of church school that shall fulfill the
highest ends for which such an insti"
tuition stands. That it has unusual adj
vantages by reason of being placed in
the Capital of the Nation and closely
related to the rising Cathedral is clear
~ obvious To strive for anything less
than the best, would be to prove I'M
worthy to our trust"
Many at Ceremonies.
In the gathering at the corner stone
ceremony were members of the Cathe-
dral Chapter, members of the cathedral
staff, clergymen from the diocese of
Washington and elsewhere, the cathe-
dral choir of men and boys, the student
bodies of St. Alban and the National

Outside the automotive industry. IN
which he Is a recognized leader. Alfred
J. Brosseau Is merely known as the
husband Of the president general Of the
Daughters Of the American Revolution.
But today, when he modestly sought
admission to the Washington Audi
forum to attend the opening session
Of the Continental Congress. he founo
that he wasn't even known In that
capacity.
Like the husband Of any other ce-
lebrity who Is content to let the spot
light rest upon his wife, Mr. Brosseau
wasn't surprised. In q patient man.
ner, he introduced himself to the Wig
liant Daughter who barred his entrance
as the husband Of Mrs. Brosseau. She
didn't know him from any Of the
other men who were applying for ad-
mission, so she demanded his identifl-
cation. Unfortunately. Mr. Brosseau
had left his invitation ticket at his
hotel. so he waited until bystanders
could find some one to identify him
as the husband Of the presiding Of
ficer.
The same thing happened this morn
ing to Mrs. Larz Anderson, social leader
Of Washington, former librarian gen.
eral Of the D. A. r., and one Of the
most widely known women in those
circles. She, too. had len her identif1-
cation card at home and had to wait
until some one gave the countersign
before being admitted to the hall.
