superintendent of schools said:
Vocational education in the
District of Columbia has always
been a serious problem. School
officials are going into the question
with the greatest thoroughness.
But, due to congestion existing in
school accommodations, not all
pupils can be given the training at
this time. Preparations are being
made SO that some time in the
future vocational training will be a
part of all school curriculums."
Advocates Training
Kramer has been a strong advo-
cate of vocational training in local
schools. Glasses have been opened
for the use of children in local
elementary schools The education
that a boy or girl receives in the
graded schools is not neglected
when he, or she, enters a junior
Or senior high school. The training
there is of more advanced stage.
but follows in the line started in
the graded schools.
Among the many vocational ad-
vantages that are being given in
some of the schools are: classes in
cooking. dressmaking, woodworking
automobile work. nature studies,
printing, plumbing. sheet metal work
house painting and electrical wiring
The vocational educational prin.
ciples have interested school officials.
1t is understood that in the near
future they plan to hold wholesale
exhibit of the handywork of the
pupils of these institutions.

SOviet-P Persian Friction
On Afghan FOreshadOWed

Friction between the Soviet Rus
sian government and the severn
ment of Persia over Persian en-.
croachment on Afghanistan terri
tory was foreshadowed yesterday
from Frederick W. 3. Coleman,
American minister at Riga, Latvia.
The Near Eastern difficulties were
first broached in an article in the
officially inspired Izvestia of Moscow
of April II. This article purported
to relate the action of the Soviet
foreign office in sending a note to
the Persian government, saying the
Soviet was intimately concerned over
the action of certain Persian ci1cles
in occupying Afghan territory.
The Washington times., 1929-04-24

This week, which is being cele-
brated as public school week. has
raised the question of the best
plans for teaching children and has
aroused interest in the various "out-
side" branches of the educational in
stitutions.
School officials declare that an
important part of the education of a
child is through vocational training.
Hundreds of young boys and girls.
not all of them backward, have the
greatest desire to learn some useful
occupation in school. The use of
vocational training, as a means of
adding impetous to a child's prog
ress in his other studies. has been
realized for some time. it was said
at the Franklin School today.
Woodwork Popular
Probably the best known Of all
the vocat tional training courses is
the course in woodworking. Hun.
dreds of youngsters work under the
guidance of men who know their
business. and to whom the pupils
will invariably look for guidance.
At one of the schools especially
II was noted that class of boys
had taken an active interest in
the building of model airDlanes.
Aviation experts, who looked at
some OF the models. declared that
they were masterpieces. One lad
had model of the Graf Zeppelin.
He had constructed it from pic
ture which showed the big dirigible
in cross-sectiOn and gave details of
its construction. IL was such a
perfect reproduction that persons
who saw it declared that it was a
wonderful copy

HURRIED
ACTION

Representative Frederick Fl.
Lehlbach of New Jersey today
reintroduced in the House his
bill to liberalize the present
civil service retirement law.
The bill would increase the an.
nual annuities from maximum
of 1000 a year to $1,000 a year.
1t also allows more latitude to the
employees as to the age provision
and otherwise is intended to benefit
thousands of Government workers.
Under the terms of the bill the
legislation would become effective
on July l next. Lehlbach explained
that he put in the bill at the urg-
ent request of interested Federal
employees, but expected no passage
of such legislation before the ef
fective date carried in the bill.
Senator Porter H. Dale of Ver-
mont, chairman of the Civil Service
Committee, introduced an identical
bill last week but likewise enter
tained little hope of action at the
present session OF Congress.
The Senate will have more lati-
tude in dealing with legislation than
the House at the special session but
LehIbach pointed out that no par
ticular good could be accomplished
by a passage Of the bill 1by the
Senate. as the measure would be
referred. in all probability, to the
House Civil Service Committee, OF
which Lehlbach il chairman, but
which did not organize for the
special session.

There is a possibility. however,
that the major will be forced to

William Leahy. attorney for the

GERRI TORY

! CAPITAL
STATUS

Congressional agitation for
abolition of the commission
form of government for the
District of Columbia is ex-
pected to reach it's peak at the
next regular session.
In both House and Senate there
are several active proponements oi
plans designed to abolish the three.
headed commission in favor of one
man control, it was learned today.
Representative Frank l.. Bowman
Of West Virginia, is the outstanding
champion of one-man rule for the
District in the lower chamber OF
Congress.
His plan. subject TO revision, Is to
give the District the status of a
territory, under the leadership Of
o governor, to be appointed by the
President
Carraway's Bills
On the other side of the Capitol
Senator T. H. Caraway, of Arkansas
already has introduced two bills
which would materially affect local
government.
One would cede back to Maryland
all private property in the District
and the other would abolish the Of
fices of the Commissioners in favor
of a city manager.
These bills, Senator Caraway ad-
mits. are merely skeleton sugges.
tions to feel out Congressional
opinion. He hopes, he said, that
the movement for a change in the
city government gains sufficient
headway to warrant a real drive at
the next regular session.
A new force may make its appear
ance. on Capitol Hill before the spe,
cisl session adiourns, when Repre-.
sentative Ernest W. Gibson, of Yer.
mont, chairman of the special sub.
committee of the House District
Committee. investigating local gov.
ernment administration, makes his
report to the full committee.
Gibson Has Plans
At the present time, Gibson, like
Bowman and Caraway, is too busy
with the work of the special session
to pay any immediate attention to
District legislation.
However, he has repeatedly put
himself on record in favor of a thor.
eugh reorganization of the District
government, and probably will EN-.
body suitable recommendations in
his report.
That these recommendations will
be followed up, at the proper time,
by a bill or bills to carry out the
suggestions, is a surmise on which
Gibson prefers to be silent.
The most prevalent criticism
heard on the Hill as to the con.
duct of the District government is
that the Commissioners have di.
Vided responsibility Those agi-
tating for change want to see full
responsibility vested in a single
individual, preferably a $25 ,O00-a-
year man, not a political appointee.
