residents here "are socially and
economically disadvantaged, having
been sorely oppressed by the un-
conscionably high rents which long
have been their unhappy lot" The
resolution pointed out the bill pro-
hibits discrimination on account of
race. creed or color in all the ap-
pointments under the rent bill.

committee of colored citizens ad-
vising on recreation for colored SOL

QUANTICO, Va. Nov. pa trim
brunette girl in her twenties is
telling it to the Marines each week

She is Miss Daphne Daley, editor
and co-owner Of the QuanticC
Sentry, 'the newspaper for United

is as far-f1ung as units of the
Marine Corps itself. And she's tell
ing the Marines just about every

Miss Daley is the boss OF the
siX-column weekly Marine paper
and shares ownership with Mrs.
c. M. Payne who serve as business
manager. Correspondents at Marine
posts all over the world send their
material to the Sentry and in ad-
dition there are regional editors at
the big bases at San Diego and

The paper is now sending 100
copies weekly to Iceland in addition
to its old subscribers at Pearl Har-
Dor, Hawaii: Samoa. Shanghai, St.
Thomas and the bases in the con-
tinental United States.
The mailing list is quite a head
ache" Miss Daley said.

requires, is but a sideline for the

when he got the door designed, lie
said he worked all the year and
every year on that problem.
There are going to be many
problems for the Authority to which
neither they nor anyone else will
know the answers. Some OF them
will be.-the following: the attend
ance at different features. and at
different times. Do the adults come
and the children stay away? Do the
girls come and the boys stay away ?
Do foreign groups stay away? Are
the facilities used only at week ends
during the summer? All OF these
problems have their answers, but
they are not easy to find.
How can attendance be spread
over moro OF the. day. the week and
the year? As industry goes on three
shifts, and some OF it Is staggered.
it should be possible to have the
attendance better distributed. Is it
necessary to have light facilities at
night? What can be done to pro-
mote winter sports?
This department will require a
director, publicity men, lecturers
and a research staff. There are
twenty men in the education staff
of the conservation department and
about the same number in the fish
cries research alone. In the state
highway department, education is
handled under the head of public
relations, with some ten newspaper
men. photographers and lecturers
on the staff.
The division between promotion
and education is often very mar
row one. In general promotion or
propaganda appeals to the emo
tions and is not always very care
full about its facts; but good promo
ton and education are close to-
gether. Education is supposed to
appeal to the intellect and to be
very careful of its facts. in the con
servation department both activi
ties come under the head of educa
ton. 1t Is probable that in the
Authority also the education direc
tor should have charge OF both &C
tivities in the beginning.
The activities that have been out
lined under the six departments oil
the Authority are in places a steI
beyond anything that is now being
attempted by any similar body; but
they are believed to be in line with
present trends.

small per cent of the boys, and
are dropped as soon as school days
are over. What we need is a set of
sports. outdoor activities In which
all can take part and which will
last on past middle life. This means
that as they go through the schools.
every boy and girl should gain some
skill in such games as soft ball and
tennis and badminton and volley
ball, that they should acquire some
enthusiasm for hiking, and skating
and swimming. These are the way
TO health aad physical fitness in the
years to come as well as a great de-
Tense against the temptations OF
idleness and bad companions.
The Authority should encourage
and furnish facilities for the Boy
and Girl Scouts, the Campfire Girls
and Four-H Clubs because OF the
ideals that these groups stand for
and because an organized group Is
so much easier TO care for than a
miscellaneous one. Such groups pro-
mote friendliness which is essen
tial in all group activities and the
basis of patriotism and all that 1t
means to any country.
Before the close OF schools each
summer, the Authority should post
placards in all the schools, showing
the location of parks, athletic fields.
bathing beaches and trails.
Education OF Adults
Each of the departments that has
gone before has an education side
which has been briefly treated.
There are three general approachs
to the work with adults: through
the press, public addresses and ex.
hibitions.
Under the publicity department
should come the preparation of
placards, OF press releases to the
papers, the issuing of bulletins to
special groups, as the farmers, in
dustries. road commissions, etc,
the possible publication OF month
ly magazine and of an annual re-
port.
The Department Of Conservation
reports that members OF the de-
partment gave regular weekly radio
talks at Is different stations last
year and that they gave $40 public
lectures in 1889. They conducted
two rather extensive courses of lee
lures and discussions and regular
conservation school. These are all
to the good. The opportunity for
such a school in connection with the
proposed sanctuary has already
been discussed.
Research
Any form of education is sup
posed to pass on to the best knowl
edge OF what has been or is being
done elsewhere; but in order to
make progress there must be con
tinuous study OF the problem in
volved. A short time ago | was
walking with an employee OF a mo-
tor car company and asked the ma

one of the research staff, one OF
twelve men working on the body
