Cooperative Nursery Schools
Flourish With Mothers Aid

phaSis is also on what will be best
for the children. The mothers said
putting the children In the centers
didn't give them much free time
because they worked part Of the
time In the centers themselves and
spent a lot OF time serving on the
committees that keep the centers
going.
At Trenton Terrace, the co-opera-
tive idea goes even further. While
a mother is working the center,
another mother looks after two or
three sets of infants too young for
the nursery school.
$3.50 Per Month.
Started last September, the Tren-
ton Terrace nursery has one paid
teacher and two mothers to take
care of the "class" of IA children.
The mothers pay $3.50 q month
and are expected to be on duty one
morning a week. They are given
four months maternity leave"
The paid teacher, who holds a
masters degree in education, gets
500 a month, and the mothers pay
$3.50 a month rent for the apart
ment. They have to buy juices and
crackers, an additional item OF ex-
pense, but they make ends meet.
The fathers come in on Saturdays
to build lockers and shelves and do
other odd JOBS around the nursery
school apartment. The fathers also
prepared the ground for the garden,
where each toddler has his own
plot of ground.
Discipline Left to Teachers.
At both Georgetown and Trenton
Terrace centers, the mothers do the
housekeeping" and cleanup chores.
Discipline is left to the teachers,
along with the supervised play pro-
grams.
Mothers at both centers said at
first their own children clung to
them and demanded special atten-
ton; but after a few days, their
children took them for granted.
The Georgetown center Is the
N1lY CO-OpCAdt1fC pA0y 6AooP IA I"
public school, which saves rent. The
20 children are supervised by two
paid teachers, who get $3.50 and $125
q month, and two mothers daily.
The mothers pay a S. equipment
fee when they enter their child and
each mother pays $50 every three
thereafter.
Psychology Lectures Heard.
In both the Georgetown and
Trenton Terrace centers, the
mothers meet periodically to dis
cuss problems connected with the
nursery school and to hear lectures
by outside speakers on child psy-
chology.
One mother explained that she
likes to work in the school because
1t keeps her child from believing
she Is being "shunted of for the

ports on the children's development.

Bates Opposes
Superior Rating
In Teacher Bill
Will Urge Dropping
Free D. c. Tuition fol
NONRESIDENT Pupils
BY Don S. Worren

4 proposal to abandon the su-
perior rating system in the pending
teachers pay bill was advanced
today by Chairman Bates Of the
Fiscal Subcommittee Of the Houae
District Committee.
The subject Is expected to be dis
ctlssed this afternoon at q meeting
Of the Joint Fiscal Subcommittee Of
the House and Senate District Com
mittees, handling the pay bill and
the city revenue bills.
Mr.. bates also said he would take
up with the joint group elimina-
ton OF the free tuition now granted
to pupils OF parents living beyond
the District boundary. The Massa-
ci1usetts Republican said he could
see no Justification for requiring
District residents to pay the cost
OF the education of nonresident
pupils.
Under the present law, as much
as 10 per cent of the District teach
ing corps may be given extra pay
on qualifying for superior rating.
The system has been subject to con-
. siderable complaint, Mr.. Bates said.
The new teacher pay bill would
make all teachers eligible for su-
perior rating.
Chairman Bates also renewed sug-
gestions that some other system
would be better than the single
salary scale" that would be pro-
vided under the bill backed by
school authorities. Mr.. Bates said
he wanted some provision that
would take care Of the older teach
ers who do not have college de-
grees. He contends that the ex-
pArienced, older teachers constitute
i the backbone Of the teaching sys-
tenn.
He said he was inclined to believe
that system Of "in-service train
ing" would be better than a single
salary scale plan based largely on
what degrees the teachers earned.

Chairman WiggleSworth OF .
House appropriations subcommittee
said today his group would take
under consideration the testimony
yesterday of spokesmen for three
Washington hospitals and the Fed
eral Works Agency, asking appro-
priations for a site and plans for
Washington,s new Hospital Center.
The subcommittee on the mde-
pendent Office Appropriation bill
has at least another week Of hear
ings, however, on other subjects,
Mr.. Wigglesworth said. The bill
probably will not be completed and
ready for report to the House until
early in June. he predicted.
Mr.. Wigglesworth declined to in-
innate what the subcommittee
might do with the item Of 81, ,750, 900,
the initial appropriation estimate
Of the Federal Works Agency, to be
used In the hospital center project.
Reception .Sympathetic.'
Witnesses who testified before the
subcommittee behind closed doors,
however, indicated the subcommit-
tee members had given them q
sympathetic" reception.
The hospital center would be built
on grounds Of the Naval Observatory
and District Industrial Home School
m Wisconsin avenue
w. E. Reynolds, Public Buildings
Commissioner, who will supervise
construction Of the Hospital Center
for the Federal Works Agency, out
lined preliminary plans for the new
center. He said he had told the
committee that the original esti-
mate OF $2,75o,000 for site and
planning might be reduced some
what without endangering the early
progress of the project.
He told the press that about 18
months would be necessary to pre-
pare plans. It would take about 35k
years after first funds are made
available for both drawing Of plans
and construction Of the center.
This would mean completion some
time in 1850 or 1851.
Site Apparently Liked.
George A. Garrett, president of
Emergency Hospital, one Of the
three hospitals joining in the center,
said after the session the subcom-
mittee had been courteous" and
apparently liked the site selected.
The other two institutions in the
center will be Garfield and Episcopal
Hospitals.

1903 Drivers Lose

Are honresidents

Almost half of the 1903 drivers
permits and privileges suspended
here during September were those
of non.residents, report issued
today by the Board of Revocation
and Restoration of Operators Per-
mits reveals.
The total Of 499 for the month
was the highest in the history of
the board, according to Mrs. Mary

in their cases, it was explained.
Leading the list of causes of sus-
pension or revocation was speeding,
for which 466 motorists were given
penalties ranging from 80 days sus-
pension to outright revocation. Out
of-town motorists involved in acci-
dents-240 of them-were in the
next highest brackets. Out-of-town
suspensions or revocations totaled
381 during the month. Most of the
drivers in this category were from
Maryland, and Virginia.
( Involved in accidents hare during
the month were 161 persons who
drew penalties ranging from Is days
to indefinite suspension and revoca-
ton. Sixty-seven permits were sus-
pended or revoked for driving while
drunk.
The board restored 337 permits
which had been suspended in the last
few months.
