Serving as an executive of the
Board Of Trade comes just as easy

Grating. He's been at both Jobs
long enough to claim the rank Of

In fact, Mr.. Pitt, who is now
assistant treasurer of the trade or

He Joined the Board of Trade many
years ago, serving on the Board of
Directors eight years before he was
elected president in 1890.
During the administrations of
President Wilson and President
Hoover, Mr.. Pitt was the White

1929 Eighteenth street NV, where
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes
lived when he was Secretary of
State, and the Grace Reformed
Church, which Theodore Roosevelt
attended, also contain some of his
handiwork.
A native of Washington, Mr.. Pitt

BY MRS. C. ID. LOWE,

Last week saw the change in
semesters in our public schools, with
the consequent shifting Of classes
and the enrolment of new students.
This February ushers in secondary
membership drive by the parent
teacher units throughout the city,
and, by the time the month is over,
the organization hopes that mem
bership will be substantially in
creased.
While we will not know until the
end of our fiscal year on March 81,
just how many paid-up member
ships we have, we have every rea-
son to believe that this year will
see a new high score.

Of Columbia Congress Of Parents

interested in the welfare Of the chill

add in the welfare Of the entire
citizenry-can i'll afford to remain

the day it first was uttered, and
what small group of people would
find far beyond its ability to &C.

as the District Of Columbia Con-
gress Of Parents and Teachers could
bring to successful conclusion.
Things Needing Support.
There are many things which need
your support. For q number Of
years we have been urging that all
schools be equipped to supply hot
water to the pupils. At the present
time there are more than so schools
which lack this necessity.
Many, In fact most. Of the ele-
mentary schools are without
matrons. Whatever attention the
small children need is supplied by
teachers or the principal. A matron
in each school building Is in reality
q prime necessity. When We realize
that few Of the elementary school
buildings in the city house less than

day throughout the school year. we
can readily understand the neces-
sity for q matron to look after their
small physical needs.
We are urging more teachers to
relieve the pupil-teaching load, so
that the ideal class Of IS to 30 may
be more nearly approached. We are
advocating an integration of school
curricula so that students entering
junior high school from elementary
schools may proceed with q program
of study uninterrupted by unfinished
courses, and the same procedure for
students entering senior high schools
from the junior high school level.
Worthy Of Earnest Action.
All Of these projects have to do
with the welfare Of the young people
OF our city; all of them are worthy
of the earnest action of every think
ing adult, and all Of them can be
accomplished by the united effort Of
this organization, which draws its
membership from the parents and
teachers Of these young people.
No requirement for membership,
other than an interest in the welfare
Of children, is necessary. You do
not need to be either parent or
a teacher; just an interested adult
who feels that the things for which
the Parent Teacher Association
stands are worthwhile.
