PRACTICAL COURSES
URGED FOR SCHOOLS
Educational Policies Commission
Sees Solution of Nations Ills
as Main Goal.

School children of America should
be taught how to get along with
others, how to earn and spend an in
come and how to discharge their
duties as citizens instead of studying
history dates and Latin verbs
This is the recommendation of the
Education Policies Commission, ap-
pointed by the National Education
Association and the American Asso-
citation of School Administrators, in
a report made yesterday on the pur-
poses of education in American
democracy.
Why study the time-honored courses
in school curriculum in a country
plagued with widespread poverty, high
crime rates, unnecessary i'll health, bad
housing and high-pressure propa-
ganda, the commission asks in its re-
port.
The commission recommends that
schools train youth to know the real
meaning of freedom of speech" gov
ernment by the people" and other
principles of democratic living.

STREET HAPPY
To MAKE ANSWER
Welfare Head Says Board
Would Be Glad to Reply
to Relief Charles.

Elwood Street, public welfare di-
rector, expressed the belief today the
Board of Public Welfare will be
happy" to accept the invitation of the
Citizens Advisory Committee on the
relief investigation to answer charges
that the Public Assistance Division has
padded its figures to exaggerate local
relief needs.
Il think the Advisory Committees
proposal is fine" said Mr.. Street, re-
ferring to the statement issued by the
committee yesterday summarily ending
the controversy between Burdette G.
Lewis. he relief investigator, and well
fare officials, and inviting the Welfare
Board to give the committee informa-
ton concerning the question of figures
covering rejected relief cases.
"Of course" Mr.. Street added, "it is
up to the Board of Public Welfare, it.
self, to decide whethV to appear before
the committee. But feel sure the
board will be happy to consider the
proposal as soon as communication
is received from the Advisory Com
mittee."
The welfare director declared he be-
lieves, however, that the board will
need more specific information on the
charges, lodged by Mr. Lewis. that
the Public Assistance Division is issu-
ing stream of phony statistics" He
said the allegations are rather vague.
Mr. Street revealed the Welfare
Board was to have met today to discuss
the charges and to request an oppor-
tunity to present its case to the Ad-
visory Committee He said the meeting
now would be unnecessary.
The Advisory Committee held 2la-
hour conference yesterday in the Office
of its chairman, Ringgold Hart. and
then issued statement declaring it
does not believe that any good can
be accomplished by a public dispute
between the investigator appointed
by the Congress of the United States
and the officials of the municipal
agency charged with the responsibility
Of the administration of relief"
The committee said Mr.. Lewis
findings will be reported directly to
Congress through the Advisory Com
mittee. with its recommendation
Until that time. the statement said,
the Advisory Committee is of the
opinion that only so much thereof
should be made public as may be
justifiable and advisable to produce
facts during the progress of the in
vestigation."

Denmork's Skating Champion
Lauds Work of Sonia Henie
Figure Making Styles
.Contrasted With
Decade Ago.

Skate with your body. not just with
your legs, says Miss Emmy Ander-
sen. Denmark's woman's figure skating
champion, who came to Washington to
spend two days, and, loving" the city,
is spending two weeks.
Figure skating styles have changed
completely during the last 10 years
and the credit for the change is due
entirely to Sonia Henie. who trained
as ballet dancer and transferred
ballet styles onto ice," Miss Andersen
declared.
A close friend of Miss Henie, blond
and attractive Miss Andersen explained
that a decade ago figure skating was
stiff. formal routine. figures being
executed by lifting the leg only from
the knee at each stroke.
"All this has been changed by Miss
Henie," said Miss Andersen. THE
bend and lift begins at the hip and the
modern figure skater uses his entire
body in executing the dance as inter-
preted on ice"
Although this is her first visit to
the United States, Miss Andersen, who
has been here three months, does not
want to return to Europe. What's
more she wants to become an Amer
ican citizen.
Born in Copenhagen. Miss Andersen
began to skate at the age Of 7, which
she said "just came naturally to her."
At ID, tired of earning a living by
exhibiting paintings and handicraft
OF her artistic friends, Miss Andersen
packed up her skates and went to
London to become skating teacher
at the London Ice Club. where the
late Lord Jellicoe, British World War
naval hero, was one of her pupils
Recalling Jellicoe as a figure-skating
pupil. Miss Andersen said that on one
occasion he appeared at the club at
8 am, spent an entire day mastering
difficult turn, and at S pm. called
Miss Andersen to watch him. Miss
Andersen said his performance was
perfect, but unfortunately he was
forced to spend the entire next day
in bed as result Of his intensive
efforts.
Miss Andersen remained in England
four years, skating in exhibitions at
London. Brighton, oxford and South
ampton, later at the open-air rink,
Molitor, in Paris. In 1924 she won the
uomen'S f3o1re Skat tipO rho n,pioyo II 1 n
Of Denmark, which she holds at pres
ent. Miss Andersen now has her own
skating rink near Montreux, in Swift
zerland, where she teaches European
winter sports enthusiasts intricate
modern ice dances.
Miss Andersen will leave for New
York Monday or Tuesday. where she
hopes to have her present visa extend
ed, or else will return to Denmark to
try to obtain visa for permanent
residence in the United States.

Law Permits the Calling of
Additional Panel When
Exigencies' Demand.
REGULAR GROUP BUSY
WITH CRIMINAL CASES
Because Its Time Will Be Taken
Up, Extra Body May Be Sought
for Medical Quiz.

Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat will
probably be asked in District Court
on Tuesday by the Justice Depart
ment to authorize an additional grand
jury to look into alleged monopolistic
practices of the American Medical
Association and other combinations,

Of the public service require the call
ing of an additional grand jury"

questioned about the calling of the
extra grand jury, referred inquirers TO
the Justice Department, which was
loath to discuss the proposal at this
time.
Time Is Filled.
The regular grand sjury, which has
been sitting since July l. will wind
up its business on Monday, when it
presents its last batch of indictments
to the jurist sitting in Criminal Court,
probably Justice Peyton Gordon.
The new regular grand jury is ex-
pected to be empaneled soon after
Tuesday to take up the regular GRIM
inal business here. Because its time
will be well occupied considering per-
sons accused of crime, it is considered
necessary to summon an additional
grand jury to investigate the alleged
unlawful practices of the American
Medical Association and other groups
Authority for the calling of an addi-
tional grand jury is found in the Dis
trict Code. This provision reads:
The Provision.
whenever the United States At
torney for the District OF Columbia
shall certify in writing to the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of said
District, or, in his absence. to the
senior associate justice of said court,
that the exigencies of the public serv-
ice require it, said Chief Justice or
senior associate justice may, in his
discretion. order an additional grand
jury summoned. which additional
grand jury shall be drawn at such
time as he may designate in the man
ner provided by law for the drawing of
grand jurors in the District of Co.
lumbia, and unless sooner discharged
by order of said Chief Justice, or. in
his absence, senior associate justice,
said additional grand jury shall serve
during and until the end of the term
in and for which it shall have been
drawn"
The term Of regular grand jury in
District Court is three months. In
dictments are regularly returned on

little Heiskell"
BY
WALTER BYRON STEEIL. D. D.

Little Heiskell with bayOnet fixed
Stands atop of eye Old Town Hall,
His thoughts just a trifle mixed
BY the noise of traffic and all
He tries to think of the times that are
And the times that used to be,
Most battling to the little man,
AS I'm sure 'twOuld be to me-
Only the other day it seemed
(Or was it something he had dreamed?)
There were horses and buggies oxen and
drays,
With quantity CARRIED people of other
days
Pass a carriage or coach and four,
And tavern keeper at the door
Welcoming waggoners from afar
To the rest and cheer of his coy bar
People came and people went
On daily tasks or pleasure bent
Their gait was not as rapid when
Heiskell viewed the tOwnsmen then,
And as he recalls their stately bow,
Wonders if men are happier now
The years passed by, Life's not all sweets,
And he saw men marching down the
streets
Some in Blue and some in Gray
Thank God he also saw the day
When peace once more began to reign
And villagers went their way again
Much has happened since that day;
Little Heiskell saw both sad and gay
But it doesn't seem so very far
From the day Of the horse to the day of
the car
From hamlet and village to city bound
Whose people are proud to call Hagers-
town.
Brave Heiskell on his tower so high
Watches and guards as the years go by,
And wonders what tomorrow will be
For those who follow you and me-
