American Education Week

Although the American school
system works steadily throughout
the year at its task of turning out
citizens qualified to participate in
the democratic institutions Of the
country, the spotlight is turned on 1t
only for the period Of American
Education Week, which officially be-
gins today.
For seven days schoolhouses all
over the Nation will be throwing
open their doors to parents and
friends, inviting inspection of what
they do and how they do it. Gov
ernors in most Of the States will is
sue proclamations concerning the
observance and President Roosevelt
has prepared a message for the oc-
casion.
American Education Week is the
outgrowth Of efforts by the National

Alexandria Water Front

Things are booming these days in
Alexandria, Va, and the town that
was an important port before the
City Of washington came into ex-
istence has visions Of regaining its
former maritime position. This hope
springs from a plan for a $500, 900
water front development, an i'm
portant feature of the proposal be-
ing an elevated highway along the
water front that would form a part
of the Mount Vernon Memorial bou-
levard.
Although the project is still in the
formative stages, city officials have
taken the wise precaution Of keeping
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission advised of their
plans from the first. Thus they are
assured that any undertaking will
form a harmonious part Of the de-
velopment of the Washington area,
as well as contributing to the COM
mercial growth of both cities.
AS the Alexandria city manager
has pointed out, Alexandria's plans
do not conflict with Washington's
water front work. The National Cap
ital does not have the wharfage to ac-
commodate potential Potomac River
traffic, and the two cities will profit
by co-ordinating their efforts to at
tract an ever-increasing volume Of
ocean steamers.
The water front development is the
latest project in what a Federal Of
flcial calls Alexandria's new spring.
time" It has been sharing in the
residential growth Of Washington's
suburbs, and the years building total
in Alexandria already is 100000
ahead of the $3,007 1881 mark set in
1898. The city is the site of big tor
pedo plant now nearing completion.
For some years it has gained new life
through restoration of It's many old
homes.
But the city's future greatness, as
envisioned by civic leaders, lies not
along the line of such restorations as
that at Williamsburg, Va. Its future
is keyed to the requirements of busi-
ness and industry.
It should not be overlooked, how
ever, that Alexandria officials now
face the task Of persuading the Fed
eral Government to contribute the
major portion Of the funds to put
George Washington's home town on
the maritime map as it was In his
day. for the city feels able to pay only
one.soyenth Of the cost.
