Star and WMAL to Broadcast
Series on Schools WORKINGS
First of Radio
Programs to Begin
Tomorrow at d PM.

The modern little red school house
is far cry from the one in which
grandmother sat in the corner wear
ing a Ounce hat and grandpa took
it, on the palm of his hand with a
ruler.
To bring the Washington public
school system into the Emelight and
let Washington parents know the
what, why and how of modern pub
lie instruction, The Star, in CO.
operation with the school authorities
and the National Broadcasting Co.,
will inaugurate a series Of radio
broadcasts on the schools beginning
tomorrow at pm. over radio sta
ton WMAL.
The first program will take up the
relationship of the parents to the
school with respect to the child.
Subsequent programs will go into
the scnoolrooms to feature the chill
dren themselves.
These weekly quarter hour broad
casts are going to answer a lot Of
questions that parents ought to
know and very few do. For in
stance, why is your child not learn
ing to read faster? What is the
reason for it? Why are children not
being drilled in the three RS as they
used to be? Just what are they
learning and how in the first days
of their school life?
This new series of weekly broad
casts will take the child from the
first school days right through the
seventh grade.
And another thing. How much
do Washingtonians know about how
their tax money Is spent in operat-
ing the schools, which consume
nearly a third of the District budg-
ct? What sort of teachers are
Washington dollars spent in hir-
ing? Listen in and find out.
Featured on this initial program
will be Mrs Henry Grattan Doyle,
president of the Board of Educa-
ton, who will tell what the school
system thinks of these broadcasts
in introducing this series to the
public.
Supt. Frank w. Ballou will also
take part in this first broadcast.
Although the series will be opened
on Thursday, the next program
will be the following Wednesday at

ing tastes in children will be ex-

|Low-Rent Housinq
Group on Y Street
Officially Opened
CoIored Occupants Will
Pay Average Rent
OF $6.l6 Per Room

In the words of Commissioner
Melvin c. Hazen today at the dedi-
cation of the Districts fifth group
of low-rent houses, the District Alley
Dwelling Authority has made an
other contribution of good homes
for bad"
The 18 two-story, one-family brick
houses erected in the 400 block of v
street NV. replace insanitary
houses. Their colored occupants will
pay rentals ranging from an aver
age of $6.16 a room per month to
$3.50 a room for the two higher
priced corner houses. The homes
were open for inspection by members
of the Alley Dwelling Authority and
other prominent citizens who at
tended the dedication exercises.
The Rev. Daniel E. Wiseman,
president of the Howard Park Civic
Association, responded to Mr.. Haz-
ems address.
% Dwellings Razed.
On the v street site the A. D. A.
demolished % old, insanitary dwell
ings. Some were one-story shacks.
Some faced on the alley, some on
the street. .
The cost of the project was $751;
02250, or s3,39013 per house or
$847.54 per room, including all
equipment, Mr.. Ihlder explained in
a statement. The bathroom is not
counted as room.
The use-value of the site was
placed at $12,2O45O or s672.47 per
house. This makes total of $73,227
for the property.
Mr.. Ihlder said the sum set aside
as the Districts contribution is $25,-
1884 At the current tax rate of
SITS on the value of the property,
the annual amount available to
liquidate the Districts contribution
is $1,28147. With 3 per cent interest
on the unliquidated balance each
year, the entire amount will be liqui-
dated in approximately 81 years
and the Governments penalty for
having permitted the development
of this slum during the past 10
years will be paid off in less than
half that time
Grouped About Lawn.
The houses, like others built by
the A. D. A., are grouped about a
lawn that opens to the street and
so utilizes the great depth of the
lot. Hopkins place, in the Southeast,
is typical of this planning. Mr..
Ihlder said the tenants have all
been selected and began moving in
on the day the Authority accepted
the houses from the contractor.
Each of them comes from an unfit
dwelling or from a dwelling that
was grossly overcrowded." One
family lived in cellar with bare
walls. Others are from dwellings
without indoor water supply or sani-
tary conveniences and where they
occupied only one or two rooms. In
one case, it was said, the father lived
in another house because the two
rooms occupied by the family could
not hold another person.
While the v street homes are the
fifth group erected. the A. D. A. has
completed IA projects in the city, in
cluding the reclaiming of nine alley
squares.
