We find teachers so overbone with tooarge classes
that they unable integently to instruct the children
crowded into bulging classrooms.
There is fine field for service for those who want to
give to their communities educational system
of which they may be proud.

With particularly bad climatic conditions the Dis

front of cities with notorousy bad health records
tuberculosis (Which the doctors tell is not only
durable but eradcable) has death-hod the commu-
nifty which few cities could equal.
Figures the infant mortality rate of Washington
for the last year compiled by the Census Bureau show
that have here the highest infant mortality rate of
any reporting city with single exception.
Only two of death cited but there others
and our record is almost equally bad in others.
Why?
Because those charged with the duty of conducting
the city do not take the interest that is shown by
such Mrs Roosevelt and physicians and
laymen.
Washington was given by nature (and that was one

The parking of automobiles and their safe handling

No community has solved either phase of the problem

Lesson fOrCOngr|
WITH the city overowing with visitors here for the
w Inauguration it is pleasure to direct the attention
of these visitors and the Senators and Representatives to
the purely voluntary services which Mrs Eleanor Roose
velt is rendering the country III cOnnectlon WCh Tie
National Capital.
WE, SUBMIT THE COURSE OF CONDUCT OF
MRS. ROOSEVELT IN REGARD TO THE FEDERAL
CITY AS AN EXAMPLE WHICH NIGHT WE'LL
ANIMATE ALL CITIZENS OF The COUNTRY,
PARTICULARLY THOSE OCCUPYING SEATS IN
CONGRESS-.
Mrs. Roosevelt has taken many hours from her time
as the busy and active hostess of the White House IN
order that the National Capital may be brought more
NEARLY to achieving the preeminent place among cities
which should be occupied by the National Capital of the
United States.
By her active interest she has done much not only to
make this better community in which to ive but to
make fitting center for the national aspirations and
national ideals of all Americans.
Onlv few DAYS ago Mrs Roosevelt with the Inaugu-
ratio-and all that that entails to the wife of the Presi
dent crowdng down on her, with the winter social
obligations of the White House bearing her and with
the Christmas rush just over took the time to visit the
District Jail.
AS WAS EXPECTED BY WASHINGTONIANs,
MRS. ROOSEVELT FOUND DISGRACEFUL AND
DISGUSTING CONDITIONS THERE.
She found tremendous overcrOwding in ancient
building without anything approaching modern equip
ment.
She found what is one of Washingtons anomalies
electric chair set up in what is used for dining
but what is in reality corridor originally intended for
exercise purposes.
Less than week before the Inauguration Mrs Roose-
vet again with all her duties crowding around her. made
a tour of the Chdrens Hospital and while she found
improvement in conditions there a result of aid
from the Presidents Birthday Ball. still things far
from IDEAL
The hospital is still sadly in need of money if it is to
attain it's maximum usefulness to humanity.
Mrs ROOSevets active interest in the elimination of
the alley sum dwellings of the National Capital gives
hope that this blot upon the city and the country
may be eventually eliminated.
Progress toward this end which has been sought
since the between the States created the sum
dition has been slow and the machinery which is in
motion cannot proceed with reasonable dispatch long
it is deprived Of essential funds.
It is, of course impossible to mention here all of the
manifold activities which Mrs Roosevelt has assumed
toward Washington since she to the White House
with her husband.
ENOUGH HAVE BEEN CITED, HOWEVER, TO
POINT THE MORAL THAT THE WIFE OF THE
PRESIDENT, WHO HAS NO PRESCRIBED DUTIES
IN THE GOVERNMENT, WHO IS NOT REQUIRED
TO MAKE THE UPBUILDING OF THE NATIONAL
CAPITAL HER JOB, HAS DONE FAR MORE TO
CREATE HERE THE IDEAL CITY FOR ALI,
OTHER AMERICANS TO STUDY THAN HAVE
MANY OF THOSE WHOSE DUTIES TOWARD THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL ARE PRESCRIBED BY THE
HIGHEST LAW OF THE LAND
The Washington times., 1937-01-19

Instead of showing the way to the cities Of the coun
try in providing safe heathfu and properly directed
play spaces for its children the National Capital again
is found far behind.
Through the interest Of few citizens are begin
ming to provide few clubs for boys particularly those
in congesed areas but haven't solved the problem
completely and we are far from condition IN which
could serve as a model for the country.
The instances which have cited Of how the Ma
tonal Capital has failed of proper progresslveness
not all inclusive.
There are many needs which have not been stated.
But the course has been pointed.
It points to great service which this city render
to the Naton-the service of city with model services
with model government with model facilities
IT is A SERVICE WHICH THE NATION HAS
A RIGHT TO LOOK FOR IN ITS CAPITAL
It is toward this position example to all Amer
lean cities that believe the activities of Mrs Roose
velt in aiding in Washingtons development tend.
WITH THE CONTINUANCE OF SUCH ACTIV
ITIEs BY THE FIRST LADY AND PROPER
ACCEPTANCE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES
BY THOSE SPECIFICALLY CHARGED WITH
THEM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL WILL TAKE
HER PROPER PLACE IN THE LEADERSHIP OF
AMERICAN CITIES SEEKING AND FINDING
BETTER COMMUNITY LIFE.

sary to appeal an adverse decision by
the Industrial Commission in work

action asking the court to pass upon
the validity of contract between Will

Jr., in which the latter was engaged
as attorney to represent the former
