NURSERY SCHOOL
CHANGE IS URGED
Board of Education Control
of W. P. A. Project
Proposed.

Proposal that the adult education
and nursery school projects of the
District w. P. A. be taken over by
the Board of Education and made a
part of the regular public school
program in the fiscal year 1889 was
advanced today by Woolsey W. Hall,
president of the Federation of Civic
Associations.
Request that necessary funds for
the two activities be incorporated in
the 1899 estimates was made by Hall
since Congress has passed the 1888
budget. Preparation of the 1889 es-
Inmates will be started within a few
weeks.
Halls Communication.
In communication to District w.
P. A. officials, Hall said:
mo other service has done more
to relieve the vicious effects which bad
housing, lack of clothing, nourisn-
ment, knowledge of elementary SUBJ
jects and a lack of faith in hu-
manity always produces.
Home environment is the greatest
factor in the life OF any child, by far
greater than that either of the church
or school, The w. p. A. teachers,
with a true vision Of service, have done
much to raise the standards of living
in the thousands of homes they have
touched through the adult education
and nursery school programs.
w. P. A. Teachers Praised.
I'VE feel certain that, through the
aid OF w. P. A. teachers, the public
school system has been helped in a
surprising degree by reducing the bur-
den caused by 'repeaters' and 'delin-
quents' which cost the school system
so much annually. Through the
work of the w. P. A. teachers, parents
have attained greater understanding
of the functions of the public school
and are cooperating to high degree
in adjusting the lives of their chill
dren."

Eight members of the House District
Committee rambled today through the
remains of the old slaughter house a:
Benning, D. c.. where Adolf Gobel
Co., Inc, of New York and Chicago
planned to reconstruct modern
abattoir.
The inspection trip was arranged as
. prelude to action by the District
Committee on bill designed to pre-
vent establishment in Washington of
slaughter houses and other so-called
nuisance industries. The committee
Is expected to consider the measure at
Its regular meeting tomorrow
Chairman Palmisano of the Dis
trict Committee headed the delegation.
Accompanying him were Representa-
tives Kennedy of Maryland. Jenckes
of Indiana, Bigelow of Ohio. McGehee
of Mississippi, Quinn OF Pennsylvania
Allen of Delaware and Arnold of Ilii-
nols, all Democrats. Edward A. Dent,
District surveyor, accompanied the

After viewing the site. several If
the visitors expressed the opinion the
location did not seem to be objec-

Palmisano, Kennedy and McGehee
The other members made no comment

Objectionable features are already
there in the form of stock yards"
Frank M. Firor, president of the
Gobel Co.; William J. Neale, president
of the Union Stock Yard Co., and John
M. Riggles, representing Maryland and
Virginia live stock producers, showed
the group over the 14-acre site.
Asked About Wind.
The committee members examined
the mud-covered excavation where the
Gobel Co. had started work on the
plant some months ago, went into the
empty stockyards and also visited the
hog pens where they were greeted with
the grunts Of about so porkers.
Many questions we're asked of the
Gobel officials. Mrs. Jenckes inquired
as to the direction of the prevailing
winds to determine whether any odors
from the stockyard might drift to-
ward the city or into Benning. Chair
man Palmisano wanted to know the
distance from the abattoir site to the
Langston P. w. A. project on Benning
road northeast. Quinn showed great
interest in the high tension lines of the
Pennsylvania Railroad adjoining the
old slaughter house.
There are 100000 volts in those
wires" volunteered Riggles.
That's not enough to shock Con-
gresham" replied Quinn.

he reached a place where he could see
the henyard. Not hen was to be
seen. Such Disappointment! Reddy
left the shelter of the Old Stonewall
and went out to the henyard. The
gate was closed. Looking through the
wire netting, he could see that the
hen house door was closed. Those hens
were safely shut in. Reddy was shut
out. There was no possibility of a
breakfast there.
Over at Farmer Browns house a
door opened. Farmer Browns Boy
came out, carrying large pan. Flip
the Terrier and Bowser the Hound
came out. They were barking and
jumping up toward that pan. They
were about to have their breakfast
and they were so intent on this that
they didn't so much as glance around.
There is wherein they differed from
the wild folk. Never having had to
fear the approach of an enemy who
might harm them or take their food
from them they gave no thought to
anything but the breakfast they were
about to enjoy. Reddy Fox or Old
Man Coyote in their place would have
been quite as excited, but would have
looked in all directions, to see If any
one was watching them.
So it was that Flip and Bowser did
not see Reddy over by the henyard.
Some one else did, although Reddy
didn't know it. AS Farmer Browns
Boy Strengthened up, after putting
down that pan of food, he happened
to glance over to the henyard. He
saw Reddy sitting there, watching. He
pretended not to see Reddy. He spoke
sharply to the two Dogs, whose noses
were in that pan as they gulped down
their breakfast. They looked up at
him wonderingly. He started back for
the door, commanding them to fol-
low. This they did reluctantly, STOP
ping to look back at that food they
were leaving. They didn't understand
at all what it meant, but they obeyed
Reddy saw them follow their master
into the house and the door was shut.
For a few minutes Reddy sat right
where he was watching that closed
door. linen ne moved forward a little
and sat down again. Twice he repeat
ed this. He knew that it was a daring
thing to do, to visit that dooryard
in broad daylight, but somehow he
couldn't turn back No, sir, he couldn't
There was food in that pan by the
doorstep. Any minute that door might
open and those Dogs come rushing
out. He knew it. Still he couldn't
turn back. He simply couldn't. He
had been tantalized once this morn
ing by food just beyond his reach.
Now he was being tantalized again by
food he could reach If he had the
daring to risk having those Dogs come
out. He hadn't the strength for long
run; he had been too long without
food for that.
He hesitated no longer. He must

~ EDDY FOX was so hungry that

as he trotted about on the hard
