COSTUME RENTAL.


(From E. L. ~, Washington.)
I have just learned of the facili-
ties for costume rental Of the Dis
trict of Columbia Recreation De-
partment. Costumes are rented for
a nominal fee, Is to so cents each,
5or church, school and organization
activities. 1t has recently, literally,
saved my sanity, if not my life!
I want to make a plea that you
send old elegancies, evening gowns,
costume jewelry, hair pieces, suits
there as contributions when they
are no longer of use to you.
There they will be refurbished,
stored, catalogued and used as long
as there is use in them.
There, in clustered peace, a
charming woman mends, alters and
loans, advising from her amazing
of amateur theatricals,
so graciously.
On sending our woolens away for
warmth, we often wonder what to
do with "vanities." Here's the
answer.

BOSTON, Aug. 19.-Minority op'
position developed today to a pro-
posal submitted to the American
Federation of Teachers, AFL, con.
vention that the organization sup.
port Federal aid to all schools, in.
cluding parochial institutions.
DR.. Floyd w. Reeves of the Uni
versity of Chicago, reporting for the
commission on education recon-
struction, recommended Federal help
to boost teachers salaries and repair
schools and aid all children without
regard for race or color.
The minority opposition came
from John T. Childs Of Teachers
College, Columbia University, who
reported himself "in fundamental
disagreement with sectarian spokes-
men" who, he said, prefer the
parochial to the public school.
Mr.. Childs said the Nation had
permitted privileged groups to edu-
cate children, particularly where re-
ligious belief and matters of con-
science have prompted them to de-
sire special schools"
Certainly" he added, granting
these special educational rights to
the church was never intended to
abrogate the basic principle of sep
aration of church and State"
