100000 Flowers Grown Yearly
IBy Walter Reed Gardeners

eners must plant young stock IN the
greenhouses during the summer
months.
Not only cut flowers but potted
plants of all varieties are supplied
for interior decoration in the hos
pital. For the Christmas and Easter
seasons in particular there is a great
demand for such plants as poinset-
tias and lilies.
Netherlands Sends Tulips.
Medical center gardeners are par
ticularly proud of tie $4,000 tulip
plants sent as a special gift to Wal
ter Reed Hospital from the Neither
lands government, shortly after the
war. They include many rare and
beautiful varieties.
Walter Reeds flowers are not only
of great value in making the con-
valescent soldiers surroundings as
pleasant as possible, but, IN some
cases, their cultivation itself has
proved beneficial to patients.
Although no soldiers are working
in the greenhouses now, according
to Mr.. Morgan, some patients have
found gardening an ideal occupa-
ton during their long convalescence.
One of these, Mr.. Morgan relates,
later got job at the Botanical Gar
dens. Another went into the flower
business for himself when he was
discharged from the hospital.
No matter how many flowers the
Walter Reed greenhouses turn out,
they can never satisfy the hospitals
demand for more. In the hospital
wards especially there is a constant
need for flower decorations.

Lane Reports
Of 1,1O0
New Teachers
Says Study of Progress
On School Program
Justifies Support
By the Assoeiatsd Press

br me SsSoci0i6d FreSS
ANNAPOLIS. Sept. 6.-Gov. Lane
said today preliminary report in
dicates the State education program
which his administration guided
through the 1947 Maryland General
Assembly had resulted In the hiring
of 1,100 new teachers and set in
motion q $64,ooo,o 900 school building
program.
The Governor issued his statement
on the basis of a report made to him
by DR.. Thomas G. Pullen, jr., State
superintendent
Although it is too close to the
start OF the new school year for the
statistics of the development of the
program to be assembled on a COM
plete Statewide basis" Gov. Lane
said, 81 feel that DR.. Pullen's prelim-
mary report justifies my adminis-
tration's whole-hearted support Of
the program directed toward making
Maryland's schools the finest in the
Nation.
Baltimore Teachers Not Counted.
when results such as these are
balanced against the criticism di-
rected against those of us who un-
dertook to raise the new revenue
needed to accomplish this, the feel
ing that goes with the accomplish
ment of something worthwhile for
the children of Maryland is one that
can be shared by every person in
the State when he realizes that he Is
doing his part to provide the neces-
sary funds to make these results
possible"
The 1,100 new teachers employed
do not include teachers added in
Baltimore, and Gov Lane noted that
300 of the new teachers meet the
full requirements for certif1cation.
The Pullen report said enrolment
Eof flrst-year students at State
teachers colleges had jumped to
more than 600 as the result of the
new salary scale and its attraction
for qualified teachers.
1t has already been possible, DR..
Pullen reported, to do something
about the reduction of the size of
classes in 10 of the States % coun-
ties.
Building Program Described.
The building program was sum.
married as follows:
Contracts worth $10,371, ,146 have
been let for 80 new buildings in the
counties.
BY the end of the school year,
$20,000,000 in contracts will have
been let for 72 new buildings.
More than 100000 has been
spent during the summer for recon-
ditioning work. -ztx@
DR.. Pullen said in his report it "is
gratifying to note that the present
results have far exceeded the ex-
pectations of anyone connected with
the school system.
Possibly the most important
effect upon the school system is the
fine spirit and morale among the
teachers.
Never in the nearly 80 years I
have been engaged in teaching have
I felt more encouraged for the out
look for education or more confident
that the improvement in the school
system will continue"

Alexandra HEARING
Set on Rezoning Along
Mi. Vernon Boulevard
The controversial proposal for a

The controversial proposal Tor a
blanket rezoning to commercial Of
four blocks along the Mount Vernon
boulevard route through Alexandria
is scheduled for public hearing
before the Alexandria City Council
when 1t meets Tuesday night.
Opponents of the measure have
contended the change would jeop-
ardize a number of colonial homes
which line Washington street, the
route of the boulevard in Alexan-
dria.. Petitions against the recon-
ing are expected to be presented
to the council.
The four blocks proposed to be
rezoned include the 100 and 200
blocks of North and South Wash
ington streets. Motion for the re-
zoning was made in June by Coun-
Gilman Charles Nash.
Smoot House Involved.
Historical groups have pointed
out that some of the city's finest old
homes stand on these four blocks.
One structure involved is the Smoot
House at the corner Of Queen and
Washington streets. This landmark
was the home of one of Alexan-
dria's early mayors, William A..
Smoot.
Another landmark which would be
affected by the rezoning is the Hollo-
well House. at one time used as a
public school. Also in this area Is
a row of homes near Duke street
that many historians and architects
consider an outstanding example OF
Southern architecture.
Businessmen, however, have
pointed to the growing tendency to-
wards commercialization on the
city's main thoroughfare and de-
clare that it is impractical to try
to stop the trend.
Appointment to Be Discussed.
Also scheduled to come up Tues
day night is appointment of a school
board member to fill the unexpired
term of Sidney We'll, who recently
resigned.
A 100000 appropriation for con-
structing storm water sewer from
Prince street to King street and
paving from Prince street to dag
onal road is to be considered. Ini-
tial approval was given this project
before. the council recessed during
August.
A final vote on an ordinance legal
izing all rezonings that have been
granted tentatively likewise Is ex-
pected.
A request By Cowles Construction
Co. on behalf of the city's former
fire chief, James M. Duncan, jr., to
enlarge his filling stations facili-
ties at Cameron and Henry streets
will come before the council. Spe-
cial permission is required under
the city,s zoning law.
