Take French in Experiment
By Colt Hendiey

Deal Junior High School teaches
the control class French. She also
teaches two other French classes
for the third and sixth grades.
Experiment 10 Years Old.
Those two classes are taking
French because last year the present
experiment began on an unscientific
and informal basis. H..
Actually, the experiment dates
back 10 years. It was then that the
Wilson Teachers College girls began
teaching French to young children
in the Truesdell Elementary School.
which is a laboratory school for the
college.
Mrs. Catherine Gardiner, in
charge of the foreign languages de-
partment at Wilson Teachers Col
lege, said French is taught at Trues-
dell from the second through the
sixth grades as much to give the
student teachers actual language
teaching practice as anything else.

lessons at Barnard Elementary
School also, but through a voluntary
arrangement, Miss White said. Miss
Vivian Vestel of the MacFarland
Junior High School teaches the
two groups at Barnard through an
agreement between the principals.
The ultimate aim of the expert
ment?
1--WE are hoping to show the value
of a foreign language in a child's
general education" Miss White ex-
planned I'VE want to prove that
foreign Languages should be taught
in one elementary school in each
section Of the city so any child who
wants to get an early start in
languages may do So"
If the experiment is success,
which will be determined when 1t
is concluded this school year, school
administration officials may include
foreign languages in the curriculum
of the elementary schools as soon as
enthusiastically possible.

25% Of Liquor Licenses
Transferred During Year

More than Is per cent of the
liquor licenses issued here have
been transferred during the last
year, according to the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board. Since
February /, the beginning Of the
present license year, So licenses
already have been transferred.
A total of 1857 licenses had been
issued as of February l, the board
announced, and of this number, 446
were on record as having been
transferred during the last year
and up to February 10 Of this year.
The transfers, were caused, it was
said, by changes from individuals
to partnerships in business opera
lions and some from partnerships
to corporations, but many were
transferred because the Licensees
had an opportunity to sell their
business.
The transferring Of a license,
according to the board, entails just
as much work as issuing a new
license, and since 1885 the work Of
the board has increased 80 per cent.
The high mark In the number Of
licenses issued was in 1888 when
/ ,937 licenses of all kinds were issued
here. Low mark was in 1914 when
!, 593 were issued.

Modern Art Gallery
To Close Due 10 Lack
OF Interest Here

The Crosby Gallery of Modern Art
at 1905 Twentieth street NV. will
close March 5, ending a flve-year
effort to interest Washington In
contemporary and modern art.
Mrs. Caresse Crosby told The Star
today that most of her clients came
from the group Of young Army and
Navy families who were here
briefly during the war. -
Nov that they have gone" she
said, "the Washington public does
not seem sufficiently interested. ]
don't mean, though, that Washing
ton has not treated me well.
Plans Final Exhibition.
She said she will close the gal
leries after a final exhibition of the
work of Pietro Lazzari, young art
instructor at American University
With his works will be shown few
drawings by Harold Jones, a young
sailor on duty here; Dorothy Swain
and Paul Bonds, Mrs. Crosby said.
This has been my usual proce-
dure," she explained. II usually try
to include with the works of a bet
ter known artist some of the, works
of young and lesser known artists
Money is a big factor in the
closing, she indicated. OF the tran
sient population that visited her
galleries during the war, many
were killing to take a chance on
buying some of the work of the
lesser known artists" she continued
adding: Now most of the big buyers
go to New York.
American q. Gallery Opened.
Mrs. Crosby said she thought the
opening of small gallery recently
at American University might take
the place of hers for those interested
in such art. -.
Although she now has apartment
quarters at the gallery, Mrs. Crosby
said she would move to 2008 Q street
NV, to continue her editing Of
Portfolio, a publication on inter-
continental art and literature
review. 3D..
Mrs. Crosby said she came here
in 1941 from an estate near Bowling
Green, Va, and established the
gallery e year later in G place NV
In 1943 she moved to the present
location of the gallery.

Little children like things that
are novel, they do not have the self
consciousness of the adult, they
mimic naturally - therefore, they
are able to learn foreign languages
more easily than older children.
Using that as a basic principle, a
scientific experiment has been set
up at the Janney Elementary School
this year to prove that foreign Ian
guages should be taught in grade
schools.
At the Janney school are two
control groups" formed from the
9-year-olds in the fourth grade.
These groups, IS pupils each, are
as nearly alike as it is possible for
them to be-physically, intellectu-
ally, educationally and emotionally.
One Group Learns French.
One group is being taught the
French language. The other is not.
That is the only difference in their
study program.
At the end of the year, the two
classes Will be tested aga1n-JnlS
time to determine the difference, If
any, between them.
Miss Emile M. White, head of the
foreign language department for
one section of the public schools, is
confident there will be a difference
in favor of the class studying
French.
Children Are Enthusiastic.
"This is a pure experiment and
so far has been a brilliant success"
Miss White said. 1.-THE syoung chill
dren get large vocabulary of every
day words and show great enthusi-
asm for the work" 53M+
All of the work is oral, as no text
books are. printed for children of
that, age group, she explained. The
children learn songs-17 so far
carry on their class requests in
French and give skits in French.
They even count in French when
they do their calisthenics.

District Officials Cool
To Earmarking Funds
From Sales Taxes

District officials today were cool
to the idea of earmarking receipts
Of local sales tax for special uses.
Their reaction came in response
to a proposal by Representative
Miller, Republican, Of Nebraska, that
if a: sales tax is approved for the
District, its proceeds should be al
located to the needs of health, well
fare and education.
DR.. Miller said he Is prepared to
go before the Fiscal Affairs Subcom-
mittee which will consider the Dis
trict tax program when it comes to
the Capitol and suggest earmarking
of the funds. He is chairman of the
Public Welfare Subcommittee of the
House District Committee.
District officials said, however
such a plan simply would create an
other alright tax compartment in
the city's money raising structure
They pointed out they now have to
deal with three city funds-the gen.
eral, highway and water funds.
Koran Voices Support.
General support for the idea was
voiced by Representative Koran
Republican, of Washington, head OF
the District Subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Committee
Speaking personally, he said he
thought the chief benefit of such
a plan would be psychological. 1t
probably would serve to make a
sales tax more popular with the tax
payers, he said, in showing that the
receipts would 60 for the more vital
District services.
The final answer as to how much
is appropriated for any District
service, he added, would come In
congressional action on appropria-
ton fund requests.
Representative Miller told news
men he was not sure he favored a
sales tax, but that If one was en-
acted, he thought it would be easier
to take if the money it raised went
to the greatest need.
City officials, however, countered
that although the need might be
greatest in those fields at this time
it might not be always so.
Two Per Cent Levy Provided.
A 2 per cent sales levy is the core
of the big budget balancing tax
program the Commissioners have
whipped into shape and sent to
the Budget Bureau prior to SUBJ
mission to Congress. 1t is expected
to yield 100000 out of a total
of SIT, 100000 estimated receipts from
the full program.
Meanwhile, Representative Bates
Republican, of Massachusetts, was
on his way to Boston today with q
copy of the Jacobs fiscal report
under his arm for study. Mr.. Bates
is chairman of the fiscal affairs
subcommittee of the House District
Committee. The Jacobs report Il
a comprehensive study of Federal
District financial relationships pre-
sented to the House in 1887.
Before he left, Mr.. Bates added
his opposition to the idea of ear.
marking the funds. He is in the
midst of a detailed study of the
city's money troubles, preparatory
to consideration of the new ta1
bill.
