WANT SCHOOL NEED
SHOWN CONGRESS
Sixteenth Street Citizens Request
Census for District to Answer
Summons.

A resolution adopted last night by
the Sixteenth Street Heights Citizens
Association expressed disapproval at
having the community school needs
misrepresented to Congress and in the
press" and requested that the Board Of
Education furnish Congress school
census of the locality.
This was in answer to speech by
Representative Simmons of Nebraska in
which he said there was no need OF
building the proposed $175,000 school
at Fourteenth street and Kalnia road
to replace the two portables now there,
since there were only 81 children In
the portableS.
In offering the resolution, Mrs. H. M
Phillips, chairman Of the associations
committee on education, pointed out
that a large number of children are
sent to distant schools or to private
schools because of inadequacy Of exist
ing facilities and because of dislike fol
the portableS.
Mrs. Phillips said that no kinder
garten instruction is available at the
| portables, and that only four grades
are taught there. She declared that
the present enrolment in the portable
| schools is far short of the total Of
children Of school age living in the
| locality
Another resolution adopted by the
association urged that teacher be
appointed to the Receiving Home fol
Children at 816 Potomac avenue south
east to comply with the compulsory
school law.
Rev. o. A. Braskamp, pastor Of
Northminster Presbyterian Chapel
spoke on China.

URGED TO PROMOTE
GOOD WILL IN WORLD
Oscar Leonard of Jewish Welfare
Federation Addresses Women's
Council at Hebrew Temple.

The promotion of good will through
cooperation among the social service
organizations of the city was urged III
an address made yesterday before the
Council of Jewish Women at the He-
brew Temple, by Oscar Leonard, ex-
ecutive director of the Jewish Welfare
Federation. Social service needs both
the trained professional worker and the
trained volunteer worker" Mr.. Leonard
declared, in Stressing the importance Of
cooperation between the council and
the federation.
There is room for the volunteer in
social work, providing the volunteers
are in earnest, for social service is a
serious business. 1t deals with the lives
and we'll being of men, women and
children. 1t is an art and a science.
It touches life and can help or hurt.
1t cannot be a stop gap 1t cannot
be used to while away weary hourS.
Social engagements must never take
precedence over social service. ThoSs
who can enlist in this spirit of service
are ever welcome. There is a place
for them in the organized social service
of the country. The Council of jewish
Women has a tradition for service. In
harmony with this tradition let us WORK
together in the truly Jewish spirit,
which regards charity as stepping
stone toward social Justice"
