delay" DR.. Koo said. You have an
elaborate system of budgetary
controls"
Government officials said China
had run into difficulties in obtaining
promptly the arms and equipment
the Chinese want from this country.
Officials, however. blamed the delay
on expanding orders for the United
States armed forces and the deple-
tion of wartime surplus stocks rather
than cumbersome Government pro-
cedure.
In voting a $l25OOO,0 900 grant to
China for military aid, Congress
provided for check on outlays as
they are made. Requests for funds
must be cleared through the State
and Treasury Departments. Officials
described the procedure as routine
and denied it added to delays in
actual procurement of munitions.

Reserve Board Finds
Investors Cautious

The Federal Reserve Board says
the tradition that Americans are
always eager to take risks on in
vestments just isn't SO. The board
said a survey made this year turned
up the following information:
l. Only about 5000, 600 of the ma
tion's 145 100000 persons own stocks
and bonds-not counting Govern
ment savings bonds.
2. The great majority" of the
country's 48,4O0,000 families prefer
to own things with fixed value, like
bank deposits and Government
bonds, rather than those with
changing value, such as real estate
and securities.
Even among families having in
comes of $500 or more year
making up less than 10 per cent of
the population-"at least two
thirds" expressed definite pref
erence" for assets OF fixed value,
the board said.
The survey indicated that only
s, 500, 900 persons-representing A.
500, 900 families - own corporate
stocks. The board estimated another
SOC, 900 own bonds of corporations,
States or cities, although 1t said
that total may be set q little too
low.
Checking into the investment
preferences of persons who make
more than $4,000 a year. the board
found that:
l. Government bonds are pre-
ferred to bank deposits, although
not SO strongly as a couple of years
fago.
2. Among families who prefer
assets of changing value, real estate
holds an edge over securities and
common stock is rated the least at
tractive" type of property.

Miss Catherine K. Watkins, 81,
kindergarten Pioneer Dies
Was Director Of Work
In District Schools
For SO Yecrs

Miss Catharine r. Watkins, a.,
a pioneer in the kindergarten field
and director of that work in the
District public schools for 50 years,
died today.
The nationally known childhood
educator had been living quietly at
5000 Sixteenth street NV. since
she retired from the school system
in 1886. She was director of the
kindergartens here from the day
they were established in 1898 until
1886.
Funeral arrangements have not
been completed.
First Salary $45e Annually.
When Miss Watkins entered the
school system here in 1896, kinder
gartens were still in the expert
mental stage and teachers were paid
from $500 to s425 a year. Congress
appropriated $4,000 for setting up
is kindergartens and she was
named director at salary of $3.50
a year shortly afterward.
After she had served six years IN
the same position as the same
salary, kindergartens were declared
a success and a bill was passed es-
tablishing them as department in
the public schools.
She was a pioneer in the kinder
garten field and took a leading part
in the kindergarten movement ma
tionally, which resulted in their now
having recognized status In rela-
to primary education and
child development. From 1915 to
1917, she served as president of the
kindergarten Union
and was active in its successor, the
of Childhood Educa-
ton.
Project Method Came in II.
The beginning of modern kinder
gartens here came in 1917, when
Miss Watkins designated several
schools to experiment with the
project method of teaching. To ac-
this, she conducted after
school classes for other teachers for
many years.
1t was in the kindergartens under
Miss Watkins that there first ap-
peared an effort to beautify and
make schoolrooms more attractive
for children. The kindergarten
children were the first to have flower
gardens of their own. And the idea
of movable seats and desks was flrst
introduced in the kindergarten.
