School Board
Is Urged
Voteless League
Also Criticizes
Present Setup

Complete autonomy for the Boarc
Of Education, except as to approva.
of its budget, the raising of revenue
and the appropriation of funds fol
the administration of the schools
was recommended by the depart
ment Of education of the Voteless
District League of Women Voters
at meeting for discussion of the
Griffenhagen report yesterday al
the home of the department chair
man, Mrs. Allen Moore.
Without condemning the Griffen-
hagen report as whole, the de-
partment took exception to its pro-
visions in regard to the Board OF
Education, but further expressed the
opinion that the present educational
setup in the District is not satis-
factory.
"The department feels that the
Board of Education should be Gre
ated a municipal corporation inde-
pendent of the governing body" it
was reported after the meeting, "ex-
cept as to the approval of its budget
and the raising of revenue and ap-
preparation of funds for the admin
istration of the schools.
In all other respects the board
should have complete autonomy
This the present board does not
have because of responsibility di-
vided with the Commissioners.
IAN autonomous board should
have complete control of personnel,
purchase of school sites, construc-
ton and maintenance of buildings
and general supervision of all school
administration"
The report of the Presidents Ad-
visory Committee on Education was
commended in the discussion and
will be the basis for a study to be
made by an advisory committee on
education for the District of Colum-
bia which has been organized by the
league. The league committee is
studying and preparing a basic code

Mrs. Dunbar
Emphasizes
Welfare
Club Leader Also
Urges Peace
And Religion

Human welfare, world peace and
q revival Of "old time" religious pre-
cepts in the home, were named as
the objectives for which she would
work throughout her administration,
by Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, presi-
dent Of the General Federation OF
Women'S Clubs, at an informal
meeting of the Park View Women's
Club last night at the home OF Mrs.
Theodore H. Naylor, 5713 First
street NV.
Mrs. Dunbar, who has just re-
turned from visit to numerous
towns and cities throughout the
country, spoke Informally on what
she felt were the important needs
throughout the Nation today. Based
on observations during her recent
trip. she told of the unhappy condi-
tions existing among the children
in many small toWns-lack of play
grounds, recreational centers and in
adequate school equipment. Low
salaries to school teachers in rural
districts frequently made it impos-
sible to obtain experienced teachers,
she said, the children receiving in
adequate instruction as a result.
Mrs. Dunbar stated her belief that
the cooperation of fathers of fam
lilies in working with mothers on
welfare programs would greatly as
sist in the accomplishment of their
objective.
Instead of waving banners and
marching in parades, the Fedora
ton president said she thought
peace would be brought about more
effectively by acting peace; that
Is, In seriously working for legisla-
ton and methods conducive to
peace. She cited as an example the
actions of the citizens of her home,
Portland, Greg, who had picketed
small children on the docks in pro-
test against the shipping of war
materials to belligerent nations.
Mrs. Dunbar stressed the impor-
tance of religious teachings to chill
dren and regretted that children
are no longer taught religion at
their mothers knees" She recon-
mended the return to the precepts
OF religion as solution to many of
the troubles in the world today.
Many questions were asked by
members, with informal discussions
lead by Mrs. Dunbar.
A musical program was presented
by Mrs. Adeline Elnn and Miss
Edna Souders.
Among those assisting the hostess
were Mrs. Max Pollner, Mrs. Glen
Leach, Mrs. r. B. Duffie and Mrs.
D. Edward Clarke.

Spirit of Chinese
Unbroken, Miss Chinn
Tells G. O. p. Women

A Chinese spirit as yet unbroken
by war was portrayed to members
of the League of Republican Women
in an informal talk yesterday at
club headquarters by Miss Julia
Chen of Fuchow, China.
Miss Chen, student at American
University, who speaks English flu
emily, told of the exodus of her
countrymen from the Chinese sea-
ports, occupied by the japanese, into
Southwestern China, where they are
patiently building up new China.
Many of these pioneers into the
uncultivated lands of China, are
from the mass of Chinese refugees,
quoted by Miss Chen, as numbering
between 40 and 60 millions. Each
refugee, she stated, is given 10 acres
Of land and implements with which
to cultivate it by the Chinese gov
ernment now centralized under Cen
eralissimo Chaing Kai-shek.
Although schools, factories and
hospitals have been destroyed in
the Chinese seaports, Miss Chen
said a new China is springing up,
with over 300 factories, a million
refugees working on highways and
railways and hitherto untapped
mines being developed. Chinese
women have revived the ancient
art OF hand spinning to supply cot
ton goods, she added. Since Chi
nese factories are now In the con-
troll of the Japanese.
Instead of subjugating China, the
present undeclared war has aroused
a widespread, new political consious-
ness among her countrymen, Miss
Chen declared.
THE Chinese people," she said,
"are facing a clean-cut issue; either
they will win and become stronger
unified China or they will lose and
become a vassal state, slaves of
Japan"
Miss Chen, who is a graduate of
HWa Nan College of Fuchow, China,
taught in India for some time after
her graduation and before coming
to this country. She was accom-
panied to club headquarters by Miss
Helen M. Loomis, secretary of the
China Information Service, who
presented the club with three books
recently published on China.
Mrs. Charles Lea presided and
introduced the speaker. Among
those present we're: Mrs. Edward
Everett Gam, Miss Daisy Prentice
and Mrs. Maurice H. Thatcher.

CONGRESSMAN H. CARL AMBER
sen complains in his letter this week that the
proposed trade agreement with Argentine
would give that country part of the al
ready glutted American farm products

His point seems well taken and he

Bolivia, already a delinquent debtor to this
country.

of fireworks July a.
Henceforth community displays will be
authorized, eliminating any complaint that
the city fathers are kill-joys. 1t strikes us
as an excellent solution, undertaken at the
proper time.

ANYONE CHANGING CASUALLY

at a map of Minnesota's highways will
notice that the Twin Cities appear to be a
great hub, with virtually every paved road
in the state as spokes. One might assume
that the program has progressed sufficient
ly at last so that north and south roads
are due for practically all the work.
This, however, is not the case. One of
the largest projects undertaken by the de-
partment this year includes two grade cross
ings elimination structures at Robbinsdale,
on the edge of Minneapolis. The estimated
cost is $145,000.
No doubt the separations are needed
badly, but the fact remains that Minnesota's
tourist trade, about which so much concern
has been shown Of late, is suffering for want
of a good route to Minnesota's lakes from
the south and southwest. Furthermore a
great many people in this section of the
state are tired of eating dust and humping
over poor blacktop.

WOMAN DRIVERS SAFER


IL. Look out for the woman driver is a
saying that the men use in discussing
hazards of the highways. However, sur
yey made in New York indicates that wo-
men are more proficient than men at driv-
ing automobiles, or, at least, more con-
siderate than male drivers where pedes-
TRANS are concerned
While women drivers comprise about
14.3 per cent of the drivers in New York
City, they were responsible for less than
two per cent of all the fatal pedestrian ac-
cidents.
If the men want to continue the as
sertion of their superiority of motor We
hicles, it begins to look as if they will
have to produce some statistics.
