Thirst for knowledge Draws
6, 400 Adults to Night Schools
By Colt HendIey

More than 6,4O0 adult Washing
tonians are trudging to the Dis
trict's 13 public night schools in
quest of learning which will lead
them into higher educational fields,
give them a chance to get better
jobs or just because of intellectual
curiosity.
Many of them go straight from
work, missing supper to attend $50
pm. classes.
The courses offered at the schools,
which educate boys and girls by
day, cover every conceivable sub
ject in the vocational and business
field as well as the conventional
reading, writing and arithmetic
type of study.
Study for Hospital Jobs.
"I'm taking biology because 1 need
more credits to enter the Gallinger
Hospital Nursing School next fall"
Miss Rose Marie Preston, 81, ex-
planned.
In her class at Central High
School was an older man, Harry C.
holland, former Seabee. Mr.. No
land is in training at Gallinger
Hospital at the clinical laboratory.
II need this work to become a
laboratory technician," he said.

typical of the veterans in this group.
1--WE intend to go on with our
education" they said.
Apprentices Study.
At the Bell Vocational High
School, a slightly different situation
exists. All of the men there are
taking courses in fields in which
they are apprenticessduring working
hours. After four or five years, they
become eligible for journeyman rates
in their trade. About 80 per cent of
these men are veterans.
Paperhangers, for instance, are
learning all the fine points under
experienced instructors. Actual work
is done in the halls of the old school
building, which is rapidly becoming
gay with pink, blue and green flow
cred wall paper as the class advances
in its work.
Painters have a small house con-
.structed in classroom which they
scrape, paint, re-scrape and re-
paint in their quest for the right way
to handle the job. Bricklayers actu-
ally lay brick in the class as part of
their training. Carpenters get thor
ougn instruction SO they can be more
than mere "hatchet and saw" men.
The Diesel engine school at Bell is
acknowledged to be one of the best
i'll the country.
A number Of schools have ele-
mentary grades for adults who need
that instruction. Among these are

There has been serious concern ex-

Americans generally to conclude that war

The careful judgment of most of our

that war Il not inevitable. No one. howev-
er. underestimate the possibility of an
armed clash between the United States and
Soviet Russia.
II should not be overlooked that the
conclusion reached by many people, that

There is no proof that "saucers" are

excitement has been created is a question
that nobody has answered. Tven the
Weather Bureau does not confirm the
theory that the phenomenon results from
any Of the activities Of that branch of our

There is nothing to prove that the
flight of the saucers is propaganda"
''dlshed up by the government" or by

THE LOW DOWN
HICKORY GROVE.

You know, you will run
across very few folks who will
claim the umpire should also
play first base or maybe do some
pitching, and saying whether
they are balls or strikes. Umpir-
ing is an umpire's unbiased job
that is what he is hired for
to see that the game is on the
up-and-up, no skullduggery or
cuttin' the corners and not touch
ing all the bases.
But when it comes to some
thing like those big Govt dams
there on the Columbia River and
Is other rivers, you see Uncle
Samuel in there running power
house and cuttin' rates or doing
as he pleases-as he umpires and
runs the bases-paying no in
come taxes, condenmning rights
of-way. flooding Indian lands in
the Dakotas right and left, and
high-handed. If such stuff would
happen at the ball park, pop
bottles would fly.
Do we choose to get in the rut,
like in Europe, where the Govt.
is the Big Cheese-runs every
thing, and tae people have but
few telephones, fewer automo-
biles, shorter belts-or do we
choose to stop listening to the
sweet chants waiting from Poto-
mac-land, and which, if we
harken to same much longer is
gonna give us quite a thirst for
some Aka Setter?
