Problems of Students Keep
Mrs. Schwartze Busy
Trying to Help Others, Especially
Young People, Is Hobby of
Night School Teacher
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

ny dNEIChEN SMITH.
The problems and needs Of stu
dents outside the classroom keep
Mrs. Erich w. Schwartze almost as
busy as her duties as a teacher in
the night school at Western High.
Founder and president of the Ma
tional M. Eleanor Breckenridge
Club, Mrs. Schwaltze admits that
her hobby is helping others-par-
ticularly young people-over the
rough spots Of life" The club she
organized Is channel through
which that hobby is being devel-
oped.
Awarded the first scholarship to
the Texas State College for Women
by the late M. Eleanor Breckenridge
Of San Antonio, Tex, Mrs. Schwartze
has endeavored to carry on the
principles of friendship expounded
by Miss Breckenridge, whose repu-
tation as philanthropist was
famed throughout her State. Al
though she came to Washington over
20 years ago, Mrs. Schwartze has
never forgotten the teachings on
friendship whcih she learned from
her benefactor years ago in Texas.
Hobby Helping Girls.
"Her hobby was educating and
helping girls" said Mrs. Schwartze,
land 1t was with the thought of
sponsoring scholarships for girls un-
able to finance an education that I
organized the club here named for
Miss Breckenridge. Although our
club Is but year old and our men,
bership is small we have already
been able to help several young peo-
pie by sending them to college or
business schools. The club hopes to
sponsor scholarship for a girl at
Texas State College for Women this
fall"
In addition to her club work, Mrs.
Schwartze teaches a Bible class at
the Calvary Baptist Church and
with the cooperation of her class
students, all adults, has found grow
ing interest in solving the problems
sometimes unemployment other
times material needs-of many un-
able to receive assistance from estab-
lished agencies.
Many Cases of Need.
"You have no idea how many
individual cases come to our atten-
ton through my Bible class of per-
sons reluctant to take their needs to
public agencies" she said I'VE have
been able to send milk to needy FAM
lilies, secure employment for some
who had been unable to find work
and in one case we were able to
obtain disqualification for the i'll
husband of young woman who
came to us for help"
At the night school at Western
High where she teaches shorthand
and commercial arithmetic her class
is composed principally Of adults.
This is not her first experience in
night schools, as in 1881, during the
days OF the depression. she con-
Quoted shorthand classes at Roose-
welt High.
1T was remarkable to see the
persons who came to night school
for instruction" she said. Almost
every one Of them had a college
degree, some were teachers Of foreign
languages. others were professional
men or women without work, who
wanted to learn something practical
as a means of support. They all
seemed to think that knowledge Of
shorthand would secure them at
least minor ONCE work.
