Fifth Million Becomes
New Objective in
Paper Salvage Drive

With the 4,000, ,00O-pound mark
passed, students cooperating in The
Evening Star PTA Salvage for
Victory program are out to get their
fifth million pounds of waste paper
in 20 days.
The first million required 81 days
to collect. The second, over the
Christmas holidays and through a
period of bad weather, took 38 days
The third million was gathered in %
days and the fourth in "a days.
With increased possibilities aris-
ing out of the preparations to give
regular weekly collection service to
schools in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties within the sub
urban area, the goal of a million
pounds in 20 days is attainable.
Nearby Virginia schools are eligible
for inclusion in the weekly collec-
ton system if request for such serv-
ice is made.
Maryland Has Helped.
The Maryland schools already
have contributed nearly a quarter
of a million pounds in old news
papers, magazines and cardboard,
but the collection setup has not been
on a regular basis. Notice Is being
sent to all Montgomery County
schools in the suburbs, and already,
without awaiting the notice, West
brook, one of the leading producers
in the original campaign, has joined
up for weekly service.
The records of the Maryland
schools so far are as follows: Le-
land, 67,0S6 pounds; Four Corners,
1920 pounds; Alta Vista, 31,135
pounds; East Silver Spring, 1907
pounds; Somerset, 1890 pounds;
Silver Spring, 13,108 pounds; Our
Lady of Lourdes, $500 pounds; Ken
sington, 1879 pounds; Cottage City,
6,700 pounds; Sherwood High School,
$500 pounds; Lanham, 6,470 pounds;
Richard Montgomery, 5,297 pounds;
Columbia Park, $500 pounds; Chev-
erly, 2,3l0 pounds; Sligo Elementary,
2,189 pounds, Garrett Park, 1,4O0
pounds, and Lincoln, 1853 pounds.
There Will be no collections to-
morrow because of the Easter Mon
day holiday, but both District
and District will be visited on
Tuesday.
Two Make Honor Roll.
Two new schools, Raymond and
Bancroft, made the honor roll with
better than 100 pounds per capita
last week and will receive Salvage
for Victory banners. Taylor became
the first school to get above 400
pounds per capita, jumping its fig
ure last week nearly 70 pounds to
reach 1925 pounds per capita.
Brookland and Hardy became the
fifth and sixth schools to exceed
200 pounds per capita.
The honor roll standings are as
follows:

Activities
BY MRS. p. b. ELLETT,

BY MRS. Z. b. ELLETT,
Teachers.
For some time considerable
thought and attention have been
given to increases in the salaries of
teachers and officers in the school
system. Public interest and discus
sion on this subject should not abate
but should be kept constantly before
the people until it is an accom-
plished fact.
The District of Columbia Congress
of Parents and Teachers has been
one of the foremost organized groups
urging that these salaries be raised
to the level of those of comparable
positions in other professional and
governmental fields. The situation
now is critical because teachers have
no difficulty in securing much bet
ter paying positions outside the
school system and can hardly be
blamed if they grasp the oppor-
tunity. This has affected not only
the trained personnel already on
the job but the enrolment in teacher
training institutions.
Those of us who are concerned
with the education of children must
bestir ourselves in order that trained
persons be kept in the school system,
where they can contribute so much
to the progress of our great Nation.
For these reasons we must make
every effort to see that salaries are
paid our trained teachers which will
insure their continued presence in
the school rooms of the Nation
Capital, thereby insuring the best
possible instruction for our children.
The fourth visit of the Know
Your Schools series, arranged by
Nell Hiscox, school education chair
man, will be made at pm. Fri
day, Pan-American day, at the
Janney School, Albemarle street and
avenue NV. Enrichment
of an elementary school program of
social studies through creative writ
ing and dramatization of a South
American fiesta will high light the
program.

Still in his early 40s, Mr.. Mason
feels that he must have more time
to devote to students using the uni
versity library. He also is eager to
explore the opportunities offered by
his new position as curator of art
His immediate problem is to locate
and catalogue the art acquired by
the university from the time of its
founding in 1921 until the present
time.
He calls attention to the schools
many fine art treasures. Among
these is Henry Bacon's dramatic
picture, THE Boston Boys" II
shows a group of sturdy Revolution
ary War New England youngsters
asserting their right to use their
sleds on Boston Common before the
somewhat-amazed but not-entirely-
unsympathetic British Gen. Gates
This picture was the gift of w. w
Corcoran, founder of the Corcoran
Art Gallery, and benefactor OF
George Washington University.
Now Planning Exhibit.
Details of the August Vincent
Tack exhibition and reception next
Saturday, which is being given by
the president and Board of Trus-
tees of the university, are under
Mr.. Mason's direction. Mr.. Mason
is member of the Advisory Com
mittee on Art at George Washing
ton, headed by DR.. Cloyd Heck
Marvin, president of the university
Other members include David Ed
ward Finley, director of the National
Gallery of Art; c. Powell Mimi
gerode, director of the Corcoran
Gallery of Art; Duncan Phillips, di-
rector of the Phillips Memorial
Gallery, and Waldron Faulkner,
architect
Mr.. Tack is the artist who has
been commissioned to paint the
stage curtain for the Lisner Audi
torium at George Washington Uni
versity. Presenting an unusual
theme, it is being painted on glass
in his studio in Grand Central Sta
ton in New York City. The Metro
politan Museum already has ex-
pressed itself as greatly interested
In this work of Mr.. Tack's. When
completed it will be the most dis
tinctive curtain of its kind in the
United States.
Calls Self Librarian First.
Engrossing as his new art duties
are, Mr.. Mason emphasizes that he
Is first and foremost a librarian, di-
recting the university's library sever
days week and coping with many
wartime adjustments.
= One of his ambitions is to build uI
and expand the hbrary's facilities
and collections so that in addition
to the traditional function of pro-
viding materials for students ane
faculty members, the university
library will be a source of cultura
and intellectual inspiration. 1t /.
also his hope that every university
student of the future, no matter how
large the uaiversity's postwar regis
tration may be, will know how to USE
a library and be able to help him
self to the storehouses of knowledge
which it contains.
