ApGrtm ment
ught
By d. S.

For the first time since World
War days, when Uncle Sam
grabbed up all available space In
Washington, the United States
Government has acquired an
apartment house to make room
for it's ever-increasing activities
it was learned today.
Notices were sent to residents OF
Potomac Park Apartments, Twen
ty-first and C Streets Northwest
today that they must move by
September /.
According to Clay ]. Guthridge,
chief of the division of Govern
ment space control of the National
Parks Service, the apartment
house will probably be occupied by
the Public Works Administration,
which has outgrown its quarters
in the Interior Department Build
ing.
The Government has purchased
the eight-story apartment house
which has 108 apartments and
about 10000 square feet of floor
space.
Mr.. Guthridge explained that
the Government may remodel the
apartment house. On the other
hand, the Public Works Admins
tration may just move in and carry
on it's business in the midst OF
kitchens and baths.
Among the tenants who received
notices was the Frederic j. Haskin
Information Bureau, which occu
pies the entire first floor of the
building.
Move by September
A notice was posted on the
Goor of the bureau today, stating
that the office must be vacated
b. the first of next month.
The September / notices were
given to tenants whose rent fell
due yesterday. Others were mott,
fled they must move 80 days from
the date their rent falls due.
Since the beginning of the
Roosevelt Administration, with its
alphabetical divisions, the Govern
ment has moved into all sections
of the city. taking over office
buildings of all kinds. This is the
first time, however. that an apart
ment house has been acquired.

The Board Of Education relies upon
their alertness, their progressiveness,
and their unselfish educational leader
ship, already evidenced by the high
type Of service rendered in the past.
The present Board Of Education,
created under the organic law Of 1906,
Is charged with the control Of the
District public schools. 1t is ever
conscious, however, that the public
schools belong to the citizens Of the
community, are paid for by them, and
are conducted for their children.
Board meetings are open to the public,
and the beard always welcomes sug-
gestions and expressions Of opinion to
aid 1t in the performance Of its sworn
duty. In its relations with the public,
the board aims, on the one hand, to
interpret to the citizens the educa-
tional detectives Of the public school
system; and on the other hand, to
represent to the officials and profess
sional staff OF the school system the
point of view Of the community. To
secure for all the children of Wash
ington the best possible educational
opportunities commensurate with the
funds available and to plan for con-
tinued progressiveness in the upbuild-
ing of the school system of the future
are among the primary responsibilities
Of the District of Columbia Beard Of

definite establishment Of the voca-
tional schools on the same status as
the Junior high schools. should again
be q goal for the coming year.
Although medical inspection Of
school children In the public schools
Of the District Of Columbia is pri-
marily the responsibility of the Health
Department, the Board Of Education
would fail In its duty II 1t did not
continue to advocate, in cooperation
with the health oficer, regular peri
odic medical inspection Of all school
children. Volunteer medical inspec-
ton in various parts of the city have
shown only too clearly the need for
this service, with its demonstrated
effectiveness in disclosing defects in
the physical well-being Of children
that can be readily corrected in the
early years. The importance of such
regular inspections as q contribution
to community health cannot fail to
impress the intelligent citizen.
A program Of physical and health
education that will include active
participation in appropriate sports
and other forms Of physical exercise
by every child in the schools1s another
goal toward which we are moving with
commendable speed. Such q rounded
program Is valuable not only in the
physical development of the children,
but through its training will foster
an interest in health and in outdoor
and indoor exercise that will be an
asset through life. An enlarged de-
partment of physical and health edu-
cation will require increased person.
mel and equipment. Money could not
be spent with greater assurance Of
worthwhile returns than in this field.
Economies In Planning.
To insure the expenditure of public
funds to the best advantage by careful
planning should always be the major
consideration Of those intrusted with
the direction Of school affairs. Long
range planning In the purchase of
land and the building Of schools will
save the taxpayers money. Long-range
planning to meet the educational
needs of our children will result in
q well-planned, thoughtful, and pro-
gressive educational program.
The administrative and Institutional
staffs OF the school system. under the
direction Of Supt. Frank w. Ballou,
are alive to the needs Of the public
schools and are devoting their pro-
fessional talents to the task Of making
Washington model city educationally.

There Is always the likelihood that
