Of the $1,000, 900, 900 increase in the

political critics continue to COM

These are figures as to which the

BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS.

-RIDAY night the Langdon
- School auditorium, one Of the
most modern and complete in
L the Districts public school Or
ganization, was packed.
School officials, including Supt. Of
Schools Frank Ballou, Board Of Edu-
cation representatives, members of
the Rhode Island Avenue Citizens
Association, the Parent-Teacher As
sociation and former pupils, ranging
through three generations, Joined in
an enthusiastic spirit Of love and
loyalty to honor q little, snowy
haired teacher whose life was spent
among them from the time she was
appointed to q first grade In the
Langdon School, July /, 1893. until
she retired August 81 Of this year.
Forty-three years ago the then 19-
year-old Abbie NJ. Sisson, with glints
of gold shining in hair that was then
chestnut-colored, and with brown
eyes, scarcely more shining and eager
than they are today, began her teach
ing career In this same neighborhood
in q little frame school house.
Erected in 1866 upon property ac-
quired from Charles ]. Queen, at
what was then the Queens Chapel
road at Franklin street, it was one
Of the first nine school houses to be
erected in the District Of Columbia,
and its total cost aggregated s1,700.
Often referred to as the Queens
Chapel Road School, this building
afterward was used as the first meet
ing place of the st. Barnabas Mission
of the Episcopal Church. Later it
was remodeled into a home by Clay
ton Higdon, members Of whose family
were among the community's earliest
settlers, as well as lic-spirited citi-
zens, to whom 1t Is indebted for
Higdon Hall. long a meeting place
for neighborhood gatherings.
School Now Home.
In the guise Of o bungalow this
early Langdon School where Miss
Sisson started her career and the
guidance OF many Langdon young
ster along the path Of knowledge,
endures today at what Is now 26l1
Twenty-second street northeast and
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis H.
Smith whose son was one Of Miss
Sisson's boys" Certain tell-tale
characteristics of its former occupancy
still survive, for instance, the Stating
under which the combined steeple and
plag pole once rose.
Here in 1893 Miss Sisson, quite
matter of factly assumed in addition
to her specified duties, the additional
ones of classroom fireman, janitor and
general caretaker. In the absence of
funds for soap, pals, scrubbing
brushes and other paraphernalia for
the weekly cleaning crusades which
she insisted were as necessary in a
school room as in a home, she
furnished them out Of her own $40 a
month salary with the remark that
she would consider heEself "a strange
teacher indeed" If she didn't "do her
duty along hygienic lines while wait
ing for the District authorities to
furnish the wherewithal."
From such a start there was begun
a teaching career destined to con-
tinue for nearly half a century in the

ducing new activities whenever

= they seem indicated as ad-
vancing the interests and desires OF
the personnel.
A recent innovation Is plan to
provide a service which will further
recreational opportunities for Its riem-
bers at a minimum cost and EFFORT.
The plan calls for q survey Of rec
reational interests among teachers. q
follow-up exploration of the possible
ties for satisfying these desires and Q
definite opportunity for pursuit Of the
chosen sport or pastime with con-
genial leader and group.
Many activities have been suggested.
Swimming, dancing, bowling seem
popular among the more active sports,
and current events courses and bridge
among those less strenuously inclined.
1t has been suggested that strangers
in the city might be interested in
joining congenial companions for an
occasional dinner, a book club or to
attend concerts or lectures or form
dramatic or glee clubs.
Birch e. Bayh, director Of physical
education in the public schools, and
Mrs. Elizabeth K. Peoples, Community
Center director, have consented to
head a committee to organize and
develop such recreational service.
