.CUSHMAN TO SPEAK
TO SCHOOL GROUP
Problem of Vocational Edu.
cation in District Will
Be Discussed.

Frank Cushman, chief of the trade
and industrial education service of the
Federal Board for Vocational Education,
will address meeting of the District of
Columbia Public School Association
Wednesday night in the board room of
the Franklin Administration Building
on 1.-THE Problems of Vocational Edu-
cation in the District" The meeting
will be open to all who are interested
in the current developments of voca-
tional education in the local schools.
Mrs. Fred T. Dubois, representative
OF the Public School Association on the
citizens advisory committee on voca-
tional education, in discussing the local
situation, said today:
Advisory Board Functioning.
Whenever a vocational system of
schools has been inaugurated it has
been found necessary to have a citizens
advisory committee. This committee for
Washington is functioning with John
ColpoyS as chairman. Broadly speaking,
the problem to be solved is the develop
ment generally, and in detail, of a plan
to broaden, intensity, and improve -vo-
cational education in the public schools
OF Washington.
understood to embrace trade schools.
and also to cover the broader field of
the preparation of the student for gain
full occupation, whether as an artisan
or in the field of commerce and bust
ness"
Mrs. Dubois referred to a recent dis
cussion of the question by Mrs. Charles
H. Wagner, chairman of the vocational
guidance committee of the Congress of
Mothers and Parent-Teacher ASsocia-
tons
Prepares for Gainful Occupation.
"a great army of boys and girls on
February 1, 1880, will leave the sixth
grades of the city and go on their way
upward" said Mrs. Wagner. From
these grades two great roads lead
through two branches of the school
system. one, through the junior high
school, which is at present purely aca-
demic, and one through the vocational
schools.
vocational courses must not be con-
fused with courses in industrial arts.
A true vocational course prepares the
student to take his part in some gain
full occupation. 1t brings him to the
point at which he is of value to the
employer and able to earn q living
wage.
III mas DSSn SalO CildI lllc SCAiOoio
of the District should be models. Should
not our vocational work as to housing,
equipment and general efficiency equal,
if not surpass, that of any city in the
country?
washington is facing an era which.
we hope. will be marked by the ex-
pansion and development of our already
existing vocational schools. Let us see
that Washington boys and girls who
want and need this training get the
very best from every point of view"

GOODNESS
AVERTS DISASTER
Student of Brief Experience
Lands Disabled Plane
in Cow Pasture.

Cool-headed flying by student pilot,
who has had only IL hours of solo
flying, prvented a possible crash yes
terday in the first forced landing In
the 14-month history Of the District
of Columbia Air Legion, local private
flying club.
The student pilot, ]. Elmer Kreis,
428 Eleventh street northeast, direc-
tor of the legion, who has not yet
received his private pilots license, was
flying over the clubs training field at
Hybla Valley, just below Alexandria,
Va, yesterday afternoon when two
cylinders of his engine cut out.
Engine Speed Slackens.
The engine speed instantly fell to
about 900 revolutions per minute and
the training plane, then at height of
only 300 to 400 feet above the field,
began to settle to the ground. Many
more experienced pilots might have
attempted to turn and land on the fly
ing field below rather than take chances
with the open country beyond.
Kreis, however, keeping in mind the
repeated warnings of his instructor,
Lieut.. w. C. Buel, not to attempt to
turn when in trouble, left behind him
the inviting eXpanse Of the landing
field and continued on straight ahead.
nursing the waning power of the Grip
pied motor, to safe landing in COW
pasture about mile from the field. He
made perfect landing on rough ground
and the plane was uninjured.
Kreis Is Congratulated.
After repairs had been made to the
motor in the pasture, Kreis took off
again and few back to the airport to
receive the congratulations of Alva Sole.
president of the legion, and his in
structor and fellow students.
Had Kreis attempted to turn and get
back to the field with his crippled motor,
it was pointed out, he might have STALL
ed and spun into the ground or struck
the high tension wires along the Wash
ington- Richmond road bordering the
field.
His forced landing, the first made by
any student of the legion in more than
1,200 hours OF training flight, brought
Kreis life membership in the legion's
First Club"

ASSESSOR WARNS
AUTO|STS AGAINST
DELAY ON PLATES
No Extension of Time to Be
Allowed Over Original Date,
Says Tax Chief.
100000 PAIRS REMAIN
TO BE BOUGHT IN D. C.
Midnight of January 81 to Mark
End of Grace-Arrests
Will Follow.

Automobile owners were warned in
statement from Tax Assessor William
P. Richards today that no extension
would be allowed of the date by which

Mr.. Richards announced that up to
the close of business Saturday 1908
1880 plates had been issued, and that
about 100, 1000 pairs remain to be bought.
Crowded Days Foreseen.
With % working days in which to
sell the tags, it is almost certain that
the crowded conditions of the opening
day will be repeated during the last
two or three days before the official
deadline.
The tags have been issued in steadily
lessening numbers. On January 2. the
first day of the sale, 854l pairs of plates
were distributed. This fell to 1914 on
January and to 4,798 on January 4.
The smallness of the crowds today in
dictated further falling off.
Where to Apply.
Those who wish license plates for
passenger cars should apply on the
ground floor. Plates for all other cars,
motor cycles and trucks are issued on
the first floor.
In each case personal property tax
covering the period from July l to De-
cember 81 must be paid on the car be-
fore the plates are issued. This is cal
culated on the basis Of IS cents per 500

CHILD OF Ia MONTHS GLEEFUL
AS FIREMAN TAKES HER ON BACK
Beats Tattoo on Rescuer's
Head as He Climbs Down
Ladder From I'd Floor.
Infant Declines to Talk, but
Mother Says She's Partial
to HeImeted Boys.

Small Shirley MCGOWAN, who is IA
months old and not adverse to a bit of
excitement, enjoyed herself hugely this
morning when a fireman carried her
Gown a ladder after smoke from base
ment blaze flooded the apartment build
ing in which she lives with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. F. A. MCGOWAN, at 1922
Wisconsin avenue.
Shirley laughed and beat a tattoo
with her fists upon the fireman's helmet
as they went down the ladder from her
second-foor apartment together. 1t was
all in fun to Shirley, although other
occupants of the apartment building
took the affair more seriously at first.
Smoke Cloud Rises
A blaze, thought to have originated
from the furnace, consumed a pile of
newspapers in the basement and sent a
cloud of smoke billowing up the" stair
case of the two-story building. The
tenants, many of whom had begun z
o'clock breakfast, hurried from their
apartments.
Those on the second floor, confronted
by the dense smoke in the corridor,
made their way to the street down fire
escapes or were assisted down ladders
put up when Engine Company No. 20
arrived.
Kept to Basement.
The fire was confined to the base
ment, however. and most of the slight
damage was from smoke and water.
The building is owned by Charles D.
Sager, real estate operator of 924 Four
tenth street, and occupied by about
10 families.
The McGowans had time to dress
Shirley in her new knitted suit before
they handed her over the sill to the
waiting fireman. The parents them
selves descended the ladder a moment
later.
Shirley declined to talk for publica-
ton, although her mother quoted her as
saying she is partial to f1remen.
