Registration at Georgetown Law
School opens September 10 and a
slight increase in the number of
first-year men is expected. Last
year the student body represented
graduates of 203 colleges and uni
versities, including the United
States Military and Naval Acad-
emies.
Admission to the undergraduate
department is restricted to students
who have college degrees. To enter
the graduate department it is neces-
sary not only to have college
degree but also a degree from law
school.
The graduate department at
Georgetown has attracted an in
creasingly large number of students
in recent years, due in part to the
exceptional opportunities existing
in Washington for research work in
the law. The degrees offered in the
graduate courses are master of
patent law, master of laws and
scientiae juris doctor.

that are too old for them is to de-
prive them of many happy hours
of enjoyment that are their just
due. Manipulative toys, clay,
wooden things that can be taken
apart and put together again by the
child himself, are the types of toys
children should have first"
Some of Washington's well-known
pediatricians, as we'll as progressive
parents, are finding their way to the
Play Center, for the help these two
specialists give in adapting children
to their social and emotional en-
vironments through the medium of
toys.
Stopped Child's Whining.
An interesting story has to do
with a child from a home where
it had every material advantage
but was driving its parents half
frantic by incessant whining The
child was perfectly we'll physically,
and its physician at last sought
some suggestion that might change
the disagreeable habit which was
wearing down the patience of every
one. A bucket of clay was the
answer. The child was whining to
claim the center stage of adult
attention. Absorbed in what she
could do with the clay, she turned
her entire attention to it and then
to other toys and forgot to whine.
Another story told by these toy
consultants has to do with the
magic of hektograph birthday set
prescribed for an over-active 7
year-old. He soon learned how to
use the formula for making his own
transfers. So skillful did he become,
when Christmas came around, he
made his own attractive greeting
cards.
Still another example of helping
a youngster utilize leisure time
came about through the selection
of an inexpensive wood burning
set which started its youthful
owner on successful little business
career.

A toy is more than a plaything at
the Play Center, 1919 M street NV.
1t is symbol which may open doors
of opportunity to children, If pro-
perly adapted to their age and de-
velopment, according to the theories
of the brother-sister combination,

Here Mrs. Leonore K. Bartlett
and Paul Kelly, whose mother, Caro-
line Alcott was one of the famous
Alcott family and whose father,
Michael Daniel Kelly. started what
is now the State Teachers College
at Muncie, Ind, are making some
of their own educational dreams
come true.
Trained as teachers, active in the
management of summer camps and
in other forms of social service en-
deavor, in addition to being parents
themselves, they have the conviction
based on educational background
and experience. that toys shouldn't
be bought simply at random. They
are convinced that choice of toys
should be a matter of individual
selection to fit the child with the
best playthings for him.
In pursuing this hobby vocation,
which now has become a successful
business enterprise, they are finding
Washington parents responsive to
the psychology of toys that have
CHRONOLOGICAL base
Playthings With a Purpose.
"Playthings with a purpose" is
their slogan. For instance, they
tell you, IF We can help it, we try
not to let a father 60 off with a
mechanical train for his 1-year- old
son. The baby doesn't really want
it any more than he does any other
bright shiny object. It's the father
who is intrigued. by seeing it 60
round and round. The child should
have wooden infants train that
can be pulled around with a string,
couples and uncouples easily, and
has no rough edges. The mechanical
train leaves such a young child
nothing to do for himself. A small
wooden one enables him to be his
own brakeman, and gives him the
pride of achievement that goes
with it." ,
Toys" these two partners fur
Their emphasize, have a chrono-
logical base. To give children toys

cial reference to the creditor debtor
position OF this country.
John G. Patterson, professor Of
international affairs, will conduct a
background course in inter-Amer-
lean relations. Such problems as
boundary disputes, foreign inter-
ventions, the Monroe Doctrine and
pan-Americanism will be studied.
A seminar course on population
problems of the Western Henri
sphere will be offered by Prof.
Frank Lorimer. This will include an
examination and evaluation of
sources of data on population and
related subjects in the Americas
and an Interpretation of materials

resources, areas of possible pressure
and areas of possible expansion.

such as clay, paints, soap carving,
garden tools and the like, may help
form the basis In childhood for
interests that may continue for
many years, even through life.
An interesting by-product of this
enterprise, which Is striving to fit
toys to children by progressive
educational methods rather than
by chance, is the outlet it is pro-
viding for others. An 80-year-old
woman has found a market for all
of the old-fashioned rag dolls she
can make. In her sunset years she
is happy and useful fashioning yarn
hair, petticoats with tatting on
them, and intriguing costumes of
other days and ways. Equally pop
ular have been wooden garden tools
which are the output Of an elderly
man.
Exhibits from the Play Center
have been featured at the head
quarters of the American Associa-
ton of University Women, the
University of Maryland, various
elementary and secondary schools
and parent-teacher associations.
One of the delightful offshoots of
the Worlds Fair, the toy experts
said, has been the introduction to
this country of the Danish wooden
toys created by the famous Jensen
silversmiths. They are now being
made in America, as are the major
ity of all the toys children will have
from now on because of the war.
The organizers of the Play Center
are looking ahead to the day when
it may be expanded into a still
larger community service, with a
building devoted entirely to its
activities, which also may be used
for parent-teacher meetings and
others affiliated with it's plan and
purpose.

DON'T SELL
AMERICA

The great mass of people
in this country have only
the vaguest idea of how or
why American industry
stands supreme throughout
the world. They have been
the quiescent beneficiaIies
of an industrial system
which has been built up
through infinite patience
and courage, and which has
attracted to the United
States millions of pioneers
from other countries who
have looked upon America
as the promised land" But
many Americans have TAX
en- these things for grant
ed, and in the present crisis
they have too easily become
panic-stricken, because they
had always had a feeling
that ''it can't happen here" ;"
Something will happen to
America because of the Euro
pean situation. But no matter
what happens, it is important
that American Industry be sold
to our own people in such a way
that they will be more intelligent
when emergencies arise. When
once they learn the whole story,
they will refuse to be led into the
acceptance Of half-baked eco
nomic theories which may soon
be offered to America and which
can cnly result in disaster.
There is scarcely an industry
in this country but what has in it
elements which are capable of
creating tremendous dramatic in
terest, resulting in a greater
pride in what America has ac-
complished and what it may dc
in coming days. The realization
of this fact may become a driv-
ing force in steadying the people
in our country.
This country will continue tC
prosper economically as we sue
ceed in providing for it's people
the things which they desire anC
can pay for, and as we create
newer and better things which
will enrich their lives, and which
are made accessible to them
These cover a wide range. Every
product or device which increases
health, comfort, beauty, strength
safety, speed, convenience, clean.
liness, learning, efficiency, accu,
racy, style or leisure, or which
destroys fear, anxiety, worry
uncertainty or unreliability, is
beneficial to humanity.
These also have mental and
spiritual, as we'll as physical
values. But such values can be
produced in the days that are
ahead, only as Americans believe
in America. Therefore, America
must not. be "sold short" This
means that we must have faith
in ourselves and in our country
We have physical resources
which have not yet been touched
but more important than these
we must depend upon the de-
velopment of the fundamental
character of the whole people.
So long as America maintains
the high ideals of Democracy for
which it has always contended,
it will be unconquerable.

In Raising Defense
Taxes, Leaders Say
Treodwoy Sees Only
Few Places to Turn;
Doushton Hopeful

Predictions that the United States
will have difficulty in paying for the
national defense program unless
the taxable income of its citizens
is increased were made during a
radio debate broadcast from here
last night.
Pointing out that the national
debt now totals nearly $4,000, 000,-
900, compared to only SLIPS, 900 900
when the country embarked on a
preparedness program in 1916, Rep
resentative Treadway of Massa-
chusetts, ranking Republican mem
Der of the House Ways and Means
Committee, said there are few
places to which we can turn to raise
any substantial amount of new
taxes and the defense program can
not be financed entirely by Dor
rowing"
Representative Disney, Democrat,
of Oklahoma commended the main
reason there is nothing left to tax
is that the Nations money is not
working" Another supporter of
this view was Ellsworth Alvord,
chairman of the Committee on
Federal Finance for the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
former special assistant to the Sec
rotary of the Treasury.
Their alarm was not shared by
Chairman Doughton of the Ways
and Means Committee and another
Democrat member of the committee,
Representative Cooper of Tennessee.
Representative Doughton declared
that there is still plenty of money
in the country and that national
income is increasing daily.
