Motion to Keep
Child Museum

An emergency resolution to sup
port efforts now under way to re-
tain the Children,s Museum of
Washington in its present head
quarters, Villa Rosa, on Massachu-
setts avenue NV, and to take ap-
propriate measures to carry out this
objective was passed by the District
Federation OF Women's Clubs yes
terday at the monthly meeting at
the Gilbert.
The resolution was adopted fol-
lowing an appeal by Miss Matilda
Young. director OF the museum, for
the federation's assistance in find
ing means to prevent disruption of
the museum, which has become an
important influence in the lives of
hundreds of children since its found
ing in February, 1912.
Miss Young explained how the
building had been loaned by the
District government at that time
for establishment Of the Children's
Museum with the assurance it might
be used for this purpose until need
ed by the District After its trans
fer to Defense Homes by the District
government, Miss Young said that
on many occasions representatives
from Defense Homes visited the
museum and told her unoficially
that the museum might occupy the
premises until after the duration.
She was further assured that in
event of a possible sale, she and the
Executive Board would be given first
chance of buying the property. To
her distress, Miss Young continued,
the property was sold without notice
and she knew nothing Of the trans
action until she was notified the
museum and its contents must be
moved
A resolution was also passed that
delegates be sent uninstructed to the
convention of the General Fedora
ton OF Women's Clubs at st. Louis

By the Way
BETH BLAINE

Your first impression of Mrs.
George D. Schermerhorn is that
she is a very feminine woman,
soft-spoken, with quiet sense
of humor and a modest man
ner The sort of woman who
would do a job we'll and with
very little fanfare.
A native of Michigan, she re-
ceived her education in the pub
lie schools there and later at
the Michigan State Normal Col
lege, the Hillsdale Michigan)
College and then went to Baliol
College, Oxford, England, On
her fathers side she is de-
scended from New Englanders
who became early pioneers in
the State of Michigan. Her
Observation-Disclosures, Polly
Curtis. came with her father
from Southington, Conn.,, in a
covered wagon to Galena, Ohio,
where the Curtises settled YAM
kee street-still in existence
there-and where Mrs. Scher-
merhorn's own father was born.
On her mothers side Mrs.
Schermerhorn is descended from
the Irish-the family place
having been at Cumber, just Is
miles from Belfast. In 1888, Mrs.
Schermerhorn told us, she and
her husband visited Cumber and
went to see the famous Scrabo
Hill, where, folklore has it, the
grass never grew because the
fairies danced there at night.
Il guess that's why I've always
believed in fairies" says Mrs.
Schermerhorn. MY grandmother
saw one-or said she did," and
she added with a twinkle in
her eyes, who am I to doubt my
grandmother" Anyhow, when
Mrs. Schermerhorn went back
with her husband, Scarbo Hill
had become a potato patch
and, not to be outdone, the
Schermerhorns brought back a
few of these potatoes to America
and started potato patch of
their own back home in Michi-
gan-a potato patch that yielded
AZ bushels of potatoes last year
and which has now grown to an
area of 10 acres!
II 1t is to the Irish that Mrs.
Schermerhorn owes her love of
poetry (she writes it, too) and
her love of fun and her slightly
sentimental side Eyes, she admits
1t, too, then it is to her New
England ancestors that she
owes the ability and the forth
rightness with which she has
pitched in for the war effort.
When on duty as blood donors
aide she gets up at $3.50 in the
morning in order to be at the
factories in time to collect blood
from the workers as they change
shifts. She serves as Red
Gross Gray Lady, organized and
has taught first-aid classes in
her husbands chair factory, and
it was she who planned and
executed the first and only
health center on Mackinac
Island, to take care of the war
workers there.
In Washington to attend the
State Conference of the OAR
of the District of Columbia,
Mrs. Schermerhorn expects
shortly to go back to Michigan
and start her Victory gardens
oh, yes, she hopes to be elected in
the coming campaign-but she
