Forrogut's Ship
On Way Here to
Start Museum

The U. S. s. Hartford, flagship Of
Admiral David G. Farragut in the
Civil War, today was on its way from
Charleston, S. c., to Washington,
where the ship is expected to be-
come the nucleus of a national mari
time museum.
The vessel left Charleston in tow
of the tug Umpqua and is expected
to arrive here late Monday. She will
be berthed at the Washington Navy
Yard pending the establishment of
the museum. The ship at present
will not be open to visitors owing to
recent orders closing the Navy Yard
as a precaution against spying and
sabotage.
The Hartford was reconditioned
at the United States Navy Yard at
Charleston as a 100000 w. P. A.
project. The undertaking was in
spired by comment of President
Roosevelt, as he embarked on a fish,
ing trip, that he would favor such
a project.

$4,000 W.P.A. Job
To Teach Shut.|ns
Awaits Approval
Program Is Forwarded
To Federal Heodqorters
By D. 6. Administrator

A $4,000 w. P. A. project to
provide visiting instruction for some
600 shut-in children today was on
its way to Federal w. P. A. head
quarters bearing the approval Of
District w. P. A. Administrator Paul
Edwards.
The project continues one-year
experiment begun by the w. P. A..
last year at cost of some $4,000
and will provide 16 visiting teach
ers to instruct the handicapped
children in hospital clinics and
homes.
Mrs. Mary Steele, director of pro-
fessional and women's projects for
the District w. P. A., said the in
crease in cost over the past year
was due to the increase in the wage
rate from $82 to $94 a month for
the teachers. Last years project
only took in about 800 children, it
was recalled.
To become effective the new
project must receive the approval
of the education division of the
Federal w. P. A. under DR.. Lewis
Alderman, the Budget Bureau and
the White House, it was stated.
OF the $4,000, some $4,000 are
Federal funds and the remaining
money is sponsors contribution.
The Health Department and the
Board of Education are joint spon-
eors.
A great deal of pressure for con-
tinuation of the project has been
brought to bear by the mothers
of the shut-ins who received in
struction, it was stated. Earlier
this year the Board of, Education
sought to have the service included
In the school budget as a regular
part of the school system, but the
item was eliminated. 1t is being
asked again in the school budget
for 1941, it was said.

this was one of the first cities in
