great group of Russians whose homes,
fortunes and careers were completely
destroyed with the crumbling of the
imperial regime. The possessor of an

had already passed the half century

of mental cruelty.

that the legal set-to would take place

H Johnston, rector of st. Johns
Episcopal Church in Washington. En-
tirely informal in character, the exer-
cises included also brief talk by Mrs.
Waldron Faulkner, retiring president OF
the schools alumnae association, who
headed that body during the period of
the schools building program and its
final move from its Dupont Circle loca-
ton to the Virginia countryside. Mrs.
Faulkner. who is the wife of the archi-
tect for the new school, said that the
message she could best bring from her
fellow graduates of the school was their
complete joy in the realization at last
of Mrs. Wings hopes and dreams.
In her own talk, Mrs. Wing paid
generous tribute to the persons who
were instrumental in bringing the in
stitution to its present early American
splendor She named Mr.. Faulkner
whose plans, she said, were the picturi-
zation of her own ideals for her school;
James Baird, who followed the plans in
reproducing the plant that now is the
school, and to those whose financial aid
made the building possible. In relating
the story of the schools building, Mrs.
Wing told of the efforts to raise suffi-
Gent funds for the project. Half of
the required amount, she said, was pro-
vided by the schools immediate friends
ana through the SCHOOLS own euOTtS.
The remainder was made possible by
Eugene Meyer. governor of the Federal
Reserve Board, who she described as the
institutions too modest benefactor"
The dedication exercises were held
in the large drawing room of the main
unit of the school. They were preceded
by buffet luncheon served out of doors
in the quadrangle formed by the main
hall, dining halls and dormitorieS.
Earlier in the day the alumnae associa-
ton had met at the school. The dedica-
ton was attended by the students of
the school and rs graduates.
Following the dedication the school
held open house to host of guests. who
iourneyed out the woodland road to
pay tribute to the schools achievement.
Eight hundred invitations had been sent
to the schools friends.
The new school was completed at the
close of the past Summer and was &C.
cupied for the first time at the begin
ming of the present Fall term. Its
opening was marked by the enrolment
of LOT new students as compared, Mrs.
Wing announced, with about so new
corners who had enrolled on previous
year openings.

w YITH the contention that
NA women of America are not
Nv sufficiently commemorated
r. Walton Moore, former
Representative from Vir-
ginia. yesterday declared that the new
100000 Madeira School for Girls in
Fairfax County, Va, is a living memo
rial to young womanhood. which pro-
vides it with students, and to Mrs.
David l.. Wing, the former Miss Lucy
Madeira. its head.
Mr. Moore, who is member of the
schools board of trustees, was speaking
at the. dedication of the new school
plant yesterday afternoon. He had
paid tribute to the advantages OF study
ing in Virginia and he had named
George washington, Thomas Jefferson,
James Monroe and other American
patriots as products of that State.
Then he said:
But while we honor many great
men, we do not sufficiently .commemo-
rate our women. Most of our monu-
school and all that its stands for is
dedicated to woman. 1t is a living
memorial TO young womanhood. which
it Is built to serve. and it is living
tribute to Mrs. Wing, whose inspiring
leadership has led it through its strug-
giles to It's present state"
Continuing, Mr.. Moore pointed out
that the land constituting the site of
the new Madeira School en- the Great
Falls road once was a part of the
vast acreage owned by Lady Culpeper.
At her death, he explained, it passed
into the hands of Lady Culpeper's
daughter, who became the wife of
Lord Fairfax Later, the Lee family
came into this section Of Virginia and
then the Washingtons, he recounted.
George Washington, he continued,
brought with him a great idea for a
canal which would grid Great Falls on
the Virginia side of the. Potomac. River
and ope nthe upper Potomac River to
Commerce. In launching the canal prof.
eet, traces of which still stand on the
schools property, Mr.. Moore said Wash
ington's engineers founded little town
that since has faded from existence
and to that community was given the
name of a "Matildasville. F"
Thus, Mr. Moore showed. the very land
upon which the Madeira School has
been built possesses strong feminine
heritage.
The dedication was begun with an
invocation and prayer by Rev. Robert
