THE first real attempt to establish
public schools in the territory
outside the old city limits of WASH
ington and Georgetown was made IN
1856, but this failed through lack Of
support of the people, and it was not
until June Is, 1864, that law was
passed providing for county schools.
Under this act the first public school
was erected in Uniontown (now Ana
costia) and soon afterward. in 1864,

RED CROSS CHEERS

HOW much the Red Cross means
in the other-world existence OF
the unfortunates at st. Elizabeth q
was described by the late DR.. William
A. White, superintendent Of the in
stitution for 33 years.
Here at st. Elizabeth's," DIR. White
| told some medical students seven
years ago, "our Red Cross functions
so as to give our patients . greater
sense of freedom and consequently
Of security.
Here We have a group Of people,
not paid by the hospital, to whom
| the patients can 60 and do 60 and
say or write any old thing they please
about the hospital, its oficials. the
Government and anything else, and
the Red Cross, with whom we have q
gentlemen's agreement, need not re-
| port it.
1T has discretionary powers and
can afford to be at once both personal
and impersonal, although receptive
and sympathetic"
The Red Cross undertook its st.
Elizabeth's duties because the hos
pital is retreat for the country S
military personnel and because the
Red Cross charter approved by Con-
gress in 1905 reads:

THE Franklin Building, still stand
ing at the southeast corner of K
and Thirteenth streets, and looking
just as majestic as ever, was the next
step in modern school construction in
the District. It was finished in 1869.
The lot was purchased in 1864 and
cost the city $1.26 a foot for 14,9451s
feet. The cost of the building was
s187 7,229.7l. When completed, it was
regarded as the finest school building
in the United States, and, at any
rate, it took the prize at the Paris
Exhibition shortly after it was COM
pleted. The offices of the public
schools are in this building, and here
the Board of Education holds its
meetings. From the first, and for
many years, classes OF pupils were also

another school building was erected
in what was known as the second dis
trict. Five buildings were erected in
1865.
The Brightwood School building
was constructed in 1866. At first it
was a one-room wooden affair. and an
additional room was not added to it
until 1879. 1t stood on the north side
Of Military road about a block west Of
Thirteenth street.
William L. Lipscomb, jr., was the
first teacher at this school. being
transferred to the Mount Pleasant
school in 1879, when Francis A.
Springer took his place. Clara E.

Brightwood, being superseded by Isa-

this county school. He had formerly
taught school in . building near the

despite their parents ignorance of
what fun it is.
The Romans. it is said. thrilled to
the baying Of hounds in the chase as
much rs their twentieth century
brothers in the Virginia hunt country,
and the British at one time chose their
hounds so that the voices OF the pack
were matched in ''mouth-like bells"
Indeed, If it were not for the fact
that the dog adores the chase as much
as man his history might have been
very different, even though, in addi-
ton, he has followed man wherever
he has gone, and sometimes taken him
there, as in the case of their point
conquests of the North and South
Poles. He has freighted food and
medicines, herded domestic animals
and led the blind. In northern
climes today he carries the mail. and
his rescue work has reached not only
into forests and mountain fastness
but battle fields. But what he likes
best is hunting, 4 sport that brings
canine heart beats to their swiftest
tempo.
Field trials in competition in quest
of actual game are held each year in
the United States, although they are
not as numerous as the dog shows
most Of us have attended. In these

as well as registering the majority of
bird dogs. A field trial, for the
.nefit Of those whose contacts with
dogs are limited to walking them
around the block, is an exciting thing,
with handlers and gallery following
on foot or horseback. Beagles are
probably set on rabbits, Chesapeake
Bays work in water, using ducks as
game. and spaniel trials for springers
and cookers are usually held on game
birds, although water work is necessary
before the judges can render decisions.
Today field trials are growing in
popularity in the United States, several
hundred being held annually The
national free-for-all championship is
always run on quail and is achieving
success even in the news reels.
A ND now about fox hunting.
The Virginia. Maryland hound
Is the original strain and foundation Of
the American foxhound, the famous
Brooke hounds having been brought
from England by Roger Brooke in
1854. The red fox was imported into
Maryland from England in 1888 and
then and there the merry hunting
country was born. About 1850 the
foxhound reached Kentucky and there
the distinguished Walker and Trigg
strains originated. George Washing
ton himself was one of the first
breeders of foxhounds and was Q
great lover of the chase.
On the basis Of anatomical origin,
all breeds fall into six groups: sight
hound. scent hound, mastiff, herding,

TINE Americanization Schools Of
Washington, D. c., were first
i organized in 1918-'1o with Miss
Maude E. Alton ~ principal
and the first registration WAS approx
imately 500. At present the total en-
rollment is 900, of which 4ss are
reached at their homes by field teach
ers.
The field and home work was organ
lied in the Summer of 1918 through
the efforts Of Miss Alton and today
the w. P. A. has 10 teachers in this
work under her supervision, with the
assistance of the w. P. A. supervisors.
They are subject to the call to serve
in any department In which Miss
Alton wishes to place them. Many
of these teachers have more than one
college degree and most of them have
at least one.
The territory Is divided into north
east, southeast, northwest and SOUTH
west sections, according to the city
divisions. Each teacher Is allotted
as many pupils as he or she can call
on regularly for Is or 20 minutes Of
instruction in uteracy, English, or cit
izenship.
Pupils visited In this fashion must,
because Of some disability or other &C.
ceptable reason, be unable to leave
their homes to attend classes estab-
lished In the various public schools Of
the District, or in the ONCE building
Of the Americanization Schools 1t
Tenth and H streets northwest. Too
many children In the home Is not con-
sidered an acceptable reason because
these are taken care Of in the nursery
and kindergarten downstairs while the
mother studies upstairs. There are
evening classes also for the working
fathers and younger adults.
Sewing classes for the Nursery Club
mothers are also conducted hy the
field teachers.
