Letters to editor
CLOSED FOR THE HOL IDAYS

To the Editor:
The Management office would like to give notice
to all Greenbelt organizations that, following
policy of last year, the Community Building will
be open during Christmas week to meetings any
ganization adult classes. The library will also
be closed during this week.
The purpose of doing this is twofold: first, it
gives the janitors chance to get caught up back
work of cleaning and repairing; and, second, it
gives chance to get acquainted with fami-
lies.
Therefore, aside from church services on Sundays
and Mem Years dance December 30, the Coummit ty
Building will be closed to all activi ties from De-
caber q to January 2.
also wish to thank the many Greenbe1t organiza-
tions for their continued cooperation in scheduling
meetings far enough in advance to arrange the ji-
tor schedule with convenie We also appreciate
the manner in which the and facilities
taken of.
Any suggestions along the line of community
tivity facilities will be greatly appreciated.
We would also Like to take this opportunity to
wish very merry Christmas and the best of New
Years to all Greenbe1t resident s.

MORE HOSPITAL PRAISE
TO the Editor:

Editor:
I'D like this letter to go record, along with
all other letters Of praise previously published in
your column.
Before entering the Greenbelt Hospital, I steeled
d,rinq his atay at a hospi tai. was nleaaantly
surprised to find myself mistaken. During my
finement I didn't have minute of discomfort.
The nurses did their best to make comfortable
possible (and talk about servi with smileI).
AS mentioned in previous issue of the Coopera-
tor, I'LL say again "You eat off the f1oors".
This is hospital which rates cleanliness next
to Godliness.
hope this letter along with others will help
erase all doubt from the minds Of pesdmistic
fellow citizens. Tim quite sure if my daughter
(born in the Greenbe1t Hospita1) could speak now,
she would have thing two to say herself.

Flexible Grading Versus Rigid Grading

(Second in series aYraasing the elementary school
system)
Under the rigid grade system maladj,stment often
when the child enters the first grade. At
this point few children already read, and
ready to begin reading, but great number
not yet sufficiently mature to profit from instrac
tion in the subject.
The progressive school recognizes this fact and
modified its program that formal instruction viii
begin at different times for different children.
The school that endeavors to maintain rigid grade
standards ignores these differences, and eadeavors
to teach all first grade children to read at the
same time. Under this plan the able children
compelled to retard their progress that they
may stay with the remainder Of the class, while the
slow pupils are forced to grapple with ideas that
beyond their mental depth.

HOSPITAL INCoAE
To the Editor: :


was glad to see M. stainback, Jr. IS letter in
the Cooperator Last week. When get Green
belters interested enough in our hospital to make
inquiries, star is beginning to shine. Er.
Stadnback, Jr. it is little bit dubious
to the accuracy of statement published in the
ticle, OUR HOSPITAL: PART 3-HNo municipal hospi-
tai In the United States operates at profit, and
the Greenbe1t municipal hospital IS exception to
the ru1e." He was very apprehensive Of the fact
that there existed, roughly, 200 per cent defiei
sncy between the Greenbe1t Hospitals operating
penses and its income revenue collected from
patients.
Yet in digging into certain statistics find
amazing and enli ghtening information. The
following is chart giving the percentages dis
tributing income Of general and special hospitals
throughout the United States, with a rough esti-
mate Of the Greenbe1t Hospital added for compar1son
HOSPITALS PATENTS TAxES OTHER

Other Government 1877 SILL 2.2
Non-Profit 7O.9 1O.2 1870
Proprietary 9l.4 lei los
Greenbe1t $40 67.O %
Thus find in comparing the Greenbe1t Hospital
with municipal hospitals that far beyond the
average In being self-supporting. This, despite
the fact that hospital is a comparatively
hryonic organi zation, and has limited itself
what to serving the town Of Greenbe1t. think
Greenbelters should be proud Of such favorable
launching, and should also keep it we'll in mind
that how much more the Hospital becomes se1f-sup-
porting depends wholly

How Farm Shares In
Auto Industry Profits

Results of the Ford Motor Com
pany campaign to develop new farm
crops that industry can use are indi-
Gated by an article in the 1889 Ford
Home Almanac, now being distributed
throughout the United States.
For every million Ford cars and
trucks built, the company uses &c.
100000 pounds of cotton, the crop
from $4,000 acres, the Almanac ar
ticle shows. Other purchases of
farm products necessary for the
manufacture of million Ford units
are listed as follows:
100000 bushels of corn for making
rubber substitute, butyl alcohol and
solvents; 100000 pounds of linseed
oil, for making paints, core oil, soft
soap and glycerine; 100000 gallons
Of molasses, for making anti-freeze,
shock absorber fluids and solvents.
100000 pounds of wool, which
helps to make upholstery, gaskets,
antitrust, floor coverings and lubri-
cants; 100000 square feet of leather
for making upholstery and hide-glues;
10000 hogs to supply the lard oil for
lubricants, oleic acid and brush
