of whatever subject is taught. They are officially granted until Feb ruary 15 but will undoubtedly be extended till the late spring. The number of applications filed thus far is exceedingly small in com parison with the totals of the grammar and high school waiting lists. Misunderstanding as to the necessity of special applications is believed to be the cause of the failure of many to apply for the jobs.
 The superintendent also made 1t clear today that the program of classes is yet only tentative and that he is willing to accept sugges- tions from any small group that may desire a special course in some subject not listed.
 With classes already planned for the homes of crippled children un- able to attend school, MT Condon today added as a special item classes for children handicapped or lacking in sight. They will be given instruction in their homes also. Parents of such cases are asked to get in touch with the superintendent's office and plans for instruction will be made.

Those wishing to gain the 25 teaching posts created for this city by the CWA and FRA must submit special application blanks at the school department office, 1t was emphasized this morning by Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of schools and director of the gov- ernment plan in this city. It is not sufficient, he pointed out, for candidates to have their names on the teachers waiting lists, but they must make out special blanks which will be submitted to Hart ford.
 Since only 30 applications have been received here thus far for the teaching positions, it will re- quire q great increase of applicants if the new plan is to get under way next Tuesday as scheduled. There must be sizeable list of applicants before their names and the local educational projects are submitted to Hartford for ap- proval. Superintendent Condon's tentative schedule of new classes must be officially approved by the state board before the plan begins operation.

DANGERS OF SKATING
 ON PRIVATE PONDS

Youngsters are getting impatient waiting for an opportunity to in- dulge in skating. Many are risk ing their lives at the exercise on private ponds, which are fed by springs and are unsafe for skating even if the ice appears strong enough for this purpose. Children should be warned to keep away from these death traps.

NORTH APPROACH
FIGHT CONTINUED
Northern Boulevard Group
Head Satisfied With
= Option Bill.
BY Staf Correspondent OF The Star
RICHMOND Va Al1u1Sf 0e n

BY STAFF Correspondent OF The Star
RICHMOND. Va, August 26.-The
fight for construction of the northern
approach of the Arlington Memorial
Bridge is not to be abandoned despite
bill which will be introduced In the
House of Delegates Monday permitting
the Virginia State Highway Commis-
sion to change the route.
Coming here to protest proposed leg
iSlation drawn for the purpose Of per-
mitting the commission to change from
the northern route, which had been
adopted by the commission and could
not be changed without legislative au-
thority. Dr. Samuel M. johnson, presi-
dent of the National Boulevard Asso-
ciation. left today with the announce
ment that he is satisfied with the bill
as drawn. since he does not believe
that it will as seriously interfere with
his plans as he thought at first.
The bill to be introduced by Dele
gate Hugh Reid of Arlington County
is short and simple. It merely gives
the commission the right to make .
choice of a route around Fort Myer
and the Arlington National Cemetery,
without specifying the route.
Dr. johnson came here for a confer
ence with Gov. John Garland Pollard
because he thought the bill would
merely permit the commission to build
the southern approach and abandon
the northern. The measure to be in
troduced, however, will permit him to
pursue his efforts to have the road
built around the northern end Of the
military reservation and also will per-
INIT the commission, if it so desires, to
make the change suggested by the Fine
Arts Commission in the event the State
insisted upon keeping to the northern
route. The Fine Arts Commission,
however, Endorsed the southern ap-
proach as the most practical at this
time
In obtaining rights-ofway for the
northern route, DR.. johnson said today
the boulevard association accepted 81
acres In asset lands which it used as
security for the borrowing Of $25 600,
the money being employed to purchase
necessary rights for the State
One person alone, DR.. Johnson said
indorsed a note for $4,000 on which
she has been required by the bank to
pay back $4,000 in principal and in
terest at the rate of 6 per cent.
This same person, he declared, do
mated $4,000 cash toward the route In
addition to signing the note. Those
who signed notes and donated land, he
said, did so with the assurance Of the
State that the northern route would
be built, but If the route is changed
the value of the asset lands will be so
greatly deprecated that their sale will
not net enough to meet the obligations
and the donors will be without any
thing to show for their investment.

I'm making this socially degrading
effect of unfair competition no longer
possible by establishing minimum rates

workers are being Safeguerded.
Thus the act Is making direct and
vital contribution to the development
of a sound relationship between in

Rockefeller said further and 'funda-
mentally important" advantage is the
Fastening "of the day when labor shall

clared a more enlightened view" Is
gaining that capital and labor are
fundamentally each others best
friends and that the success of each
depends upon the "well-being and sue
cess of the other"
NO longer" he said, 'is the align
ment OF labor on the one side and of
capital on the other necessary Their
relationship should be one of friendly
cooperation and partnership, not of
antagonism"
Rockefeller then dealt with the i'm
portance Of banishing fear as an i'm
portant factor in the furtherance Of the
N. R. A. movement. declaring that for
more than three years we as a people
have been in the deadly grip of fear.
There Is but one antidote for fear"
he asserted, "and that is faith =
It Is for us. my friends. of whatever race
or creed to Danish fear, to re-estab-
lish faith, and to go forward with a
united front under the leadership of the

ness testify to his greatness, President
Roosevelt. -
only as this Nation goes through
the lines Of adversely into the clearer
air and freedom of soundly conceived
and permanently established national
welfare will the end sought have been
attained.
Let each, then, do his full part un-
selishly and whole -heartedly to hold up
our leaders hands and to bring to a
speedy and successful issue this great
and promising adventure IN reconstruc-
