New Kramer School
Shows Effects Of
War Restrictions
Non-MetoI Tipped Chairs
Sure to Annoy Teachers; ;
Gym Without Showers

The new Kramer Junior High
School cost 81 900 900, but such items
as shower fixtures and metal tips
for chair legs could not be bought.
So when 1900 students enter the
new school in about two weeks they
will find heavy coats Of wax on the
floor to keep the chairs quiet. And
If they want to take 4 shower after
gymnasium class they will have to
go to the nearby Anacostia Senior
High School.
The last permanent construction
planned for the school system here
till after the war, the Kramer
School shows several other effects Of
wartime restrictions. Old-fashioned
treadle type sewing machines had
to be bought from the Work Projects
Administration for clothing classes
Typewriters, lockers and laboratory
equipment could not be purchased
and had to be borrowed from other
schools.
Officials Disturbed.
The lack of showers disturbed
board members who inspected the
school yesterday, in company with
District building authorities. The
board has just been asked to increase
physical education instruction in
junior high schools from two periods
a week to five, making gymnasium
equipment even more essential than
ever.
Its priorities," said Vice Presi-
dent Robert A. Maurer OF the board
Supt. Jere c. Crane, in charge Of
buildings and grounds, explained
that the War Production Board had
not been able to grant priorities for
| the actual shower fixtures. Cubicles
had been installed, however, for
postwar showers.
Neither metal nor rubber tips for
the chair legs were obtainable, Mr..
Crane said. DR.. James A. Cannon.
physician member of the board,
WINGED, as he scraped q chair ex-
perimentally on the hardwood floor.
"The teacher will 60 crazy in hour
with this noise" he declared. The
doctor praised the structure of the
chairs, on the other hand, as being
well fitted to the students backs.
"Iherell be no crooked spines
from sitting in them, even II they
are noisy" he said.
Linoleum Possible.
With John M. Riecks, new prin-
cipal of the school, and Melvin
Sharpe, Maj. Charles H. Fearing and
Mrs. Velma Williams. other board
members, attending the inspection,
Mr.. Crane discussed the possibility
Of linoleum tips for the chairs. He
is uncertain about being about to
get them, however. and said he ex-
poets to rely mainly on heavy coats
of wax.
The "a classrooms and l3 special
rooms in the new school have been
under construction at Seventeenth
and P streets Sc. since August,
1941. There are only temporary
chairs in the auditorium till perma-
nent fones can be installed after the
waEb The curtain has not arrived
for|the stage yet and fire dooms for
the various stairways are still en-
route
Cafeteria equipment is only half
installed, and the pupils will pro-
ably have to eat for while at the
Anacostia Senior High School.

TODAY, our country Is at war en-.
i gagged in desperate struggle to de.
termine whether the freedom we have
created and cherished shall survive or
perish.
Beside the all.embracing immensity
of that issue, the Diamond Anniversary
which Metropolitan celebrates this
month is of small importance.
Yet today, on our 18th birthday, it is
perhaps proper that this company, rep
resenting nearly thirty million policy
holders, should here voice its faith in
the future, and its determination to help
make that future bri ghter than any pc.
riod in the past.
We have just reason for that faith.
Ours is business that has been built
on faith faith in the continued and
growing greatness of our country, faith
in the integrity of our people.
In the Is years since Metropolitan
was founded, on March "a, 1868, we
have seen America face crisis after cri-
sis-wars, panics, depressions, disasters
of many kinds and from each such
crisis we have seen this country emerge
stronger than ever We confidently be.
lieve that America will do Just that
again-that the best years of our his.
tory lie before us.
We have every reason, too, for our
