The setup Is perfect. Maryland is
the only college still In the field,
and the Old Liners have no games
scheduled in Washington. The Red
skins play on Sunday, hence the en-
tire week is LEFT open for the school,
boys, and they intend to take full
advantage Of the situation.
Fifteen years ago high school
games created more than q ripple on
the sports pond. The Tech Central
classic consistently attracted be-
tween 5000 and 10000 fans. They
completely filled Central's stadium
and spilled out around the field.
The Eastern-Western feud was an
other that never failed to touch OH
a dazzling display of pyrotechnics,
and more than once the heat Of bat
tie led to more than verbal ex-
changes.

School athletic officials have de-
vised plan this year that should

meet each Of its seven rivals in the
championship series, and two games
will be played weekly. Once the
race has assumed q definite pattern
the most attractive game Of the week
will be scheduled Saturday after
noon, or possibly at night, for the
convenience Of the public. 1t has
been customary to play on Tuesday

The organic act creating the Dis

provides that representative Of the
School Board shall be one Of seven
members of the Recreation Board.
All recreational and most commun-

grounds under the District Of Co

After School Program.
In many school buildings, partic-
ularly the Junior and senior high
schools, there will be regularly
scheduled after-school and evening
activities during the 1884 year.
The gymnasiums, armories, audi
toriums, classrooms, swimming pools,
rifle ranges, athletic fields and
Fairgrounds provide wide array OF
facilities in which many types of
interest and special activity groups
can meet and participate. In addi-

New Major Course
Al 6. W. u.
Fuses Many Elements

A new major, American Thought
and Civilization" is being offered
this fall at George Washington Uni
versity as a significant contribution
to cultural and economic apprecia-
tion OF postwar life, DR.. Cloyd Heck
Marvin, president, announced yes
terday.
The four-year course utilizes q
background of American political,
social and economic history and
American literature and philosophy
against a background of European
civilization. Students in their senior
year will attend proseminars.
To Fill Wartime Need.
The new major course will.-at-
tempt to fill the need of young
American women who have come
out OF homes in wartime to fill a
place in industry, for an under
standing of changing economic and
social conditions.
The part played by scientific and
spiritual influences in Americas de-
velopment will be- outlined in the
light of present and postwar trends.
George Washington University has
been experimenting with a new
major for four years.
THE course is-not a study Of the
dead past but training for problems
the student meets the minute he
leaves the university" declared DR.
Robert w. BolwelL chairman of the
Graduate Council and professor Of
American literature.
The course will embrace every
thing American that relates to
thought and civilization" DR.. Boil
well continued. "a background Of
American political institutions and
ideals, elementary economies and
social history will be utilized. On
the more cultural side we have a
combination of American literature
fdrama, fiction and a historical sur
vey Of our past literature), plus the
major American philosophers.
Reflects American Life.
I'VE have feeling that American
philosophy is reflection of Amer
ican life and popular ideals. In
addition we have fine arts and the
folk arts in America. Obviously we
have to place the American back
ground against a background of
European civilization"
In old-time college education. stu
dents took separate courses, each
standing on its own legs, DR.. Boil
well asserted, adding that the new
major at George Washington en-
phasizes the Coordination of all
these elements and the evolution Of
complete pattern"
At seminar. for example, stu
dents would be asked to give a
complete background to a given ar
ticle appearing in a current period
ical. Man as we'll as woman stu
dents, DR.. Bolwell said, will find the
new major of real value in many
types of public activity.

AS thousands of children prepare
to enter school September 20, au-
thorities are trying to induce thou
sands more in well-paying war jobs
to complete their educations.
Changes in child labor laws are
being considered, for example, to
permit boys and girls under IS years
to work at night. Laws preventing
girls of is and II from working after
7p.m. have prompted many students
of that age to stop school entirely
to take daytime jobs. Boys can now
work till 10 pm, but want to work
till midnight.
1--WE want the children to work
as much as is commensurate with
their health and education pro-
gram Acting Supt. of Schools Hay
cock explained. 1--WE realize they
want to make money and are needed
in industry But we want them to

Plans to Be Studied.

from the District Commissioners and
from their own officials on changes
in the labor laws. War Manpower
Chief McNutt has entered the pic

cials loosen laws to permit working
up till 10 pm, particularly when
stores are open Thursdays. The
stores want girl workers up till 10
pm. and bowling alleys want boy
workers up till midnight. Both hours
are now illegal.
Another scheme the Board of Edu-
cation approved last year to per-
suade younger students to continue
with their education is the work
