New Catholic High
To Be Named for
Carroll

The new Catholic high school
for boys. which will be built at
1900 Hardwood road NE, will
be named in honor of Archbishop
John Carroll. first member of
the American hierarchy. first
Bishop of Baltimore and founder
of Georgetown University.
Selection of the name of the
proposed high school was an
nounced yesterday by the Most
Rev. Patrick A. O'Boyle, Arch
bishop of Washington. Arch
bishop O'Boyle said:
American Catholics, but espe-
cially those of the archdiocese of
Washington, are proud of the
distinguished services to church,
country and education by Bishop
John Carroll. He was born in
what is now this archdiocese and
he spent many fruitful years in
this vicinity. His contributions
to the church he served so well,
and to the United States he loved
so dearly, assure him of an hon.
ored place in American history.
Of Famous Early Family.
Accordingly. the Archbishop
John Carroll High School will be
a memorial to great man of
God, patriot and educator. His
name will serve as a constant
inspiration to- faculty students
and. friends of the new school" ;"
Archbishop Carroll was from a
family famous in early American
history. One brother, Daniel Car
roll, was one of three commission
ers who surveyed and laid out the
District of Columbia. His cousin,
Charles Carroll, was the last sur
vivor of the signers of the Decla-
ration of Independence.
The Archbishop was born in
Upper Marlboro, Md, on January
8. 1735 and died at 81 in Balti-
more. He was the fourth in a
family of seven children Of a pros
porous merchant and landowner.
Educated in France.
Because of laws preventing
Catholics from receiving higher
education in the colonies. he was
educated in France and entered
the Society of Jesus in 1853. He
returned to America in 1773, liv-
ing at Rock Creek, Md, now
Forest Glen.
Pope Plus vi named him pre-
fect-apostolic of the United States
in 1884 and five years later he
was appointed the first American
bishop.
He was instrumental in the
founding of many other schools in
addition to Georgetown Univer-
sity. These include the Visitation
Academy for Girls in Washington,
St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore,
st. Mary's College Oater super
ceded by Loyola College, in Balti-
more, Mount st. Mary's College
at Emmitsburg, Md, and St.
Joseph's College for Women at
Emmitsburg.
The Archbishop's tomb is in the
Baltimore Cathedral.

Schools Report
Gain Of 3,437
Over AZ
October Enrolment
May Go Far Beyond
1850 Now Registered

Enrolment in the District pub
Lie schools rose to 92,360 during
the first week, an increase over
the first week last year of 3.437,
school officials reported today.
The peak enrolment for the
school year during the last term
was slightly more than $1,000.
This peak was reached the first
week last October and was passed
by the enrolment during the first
week this fall. School officials
plan to take another attendance
check during the first week in
October after all late comers have
signed up for classes.
AS expected, the greatest in
creases were in the elementary
grades where the high birth rate
during the war years is just be-
ginning to take effect. More than
1000 boys and girls in the grade
schools have been assigned to 104
part-time classes because of the
influx. The colored schools have
A classes on part-time instruc-
ton while white schools have so
such classes.
School officials pointed out that
in addition to the influx caused
by the high birth rate, part of the
increase in elementary schools is
due to the program started this
fall which eventually will elm
mate mid-year promotions in pub
lie schools. AS a starter, mid
year promotions were eliminated
in the lower grades this month
which resulted in more than half
of the children, who normally
would enter kindergarten and the
first grade in February, enrolling
for classes last week.
Another factor adding to
crowded conditions in elementary
schools has been the enrolment
of more than $50 children of par
ents stationed at Fort Myer. AS
nonresident students, they must
pay $61 tuition a semester.

LET'S FLATTER MOTHER
THIS TIME

One could hardly avoid
knowing that Sunday, May 8,
will be Mothers Day, and that
for something personal and
flattering Mother wants flow
ers that day. The florists tell
us that for the first time in sew
eral years there are enough
flowers to provide a bouquet
or corsage for every mother in
the land, Local flower shops
are particularly we'll stocked,
and the prices are lower than
at Mothers Day last year.
That's especially good news
for our readers in these times
when the budget needs watch
ing.
Flowers never fail to please
Momma!
Origin of Mothers Day
Missing from the Mothers
Day scene for the first time is
the little old lady who persua-
ded President Wilson, back in
1914, to proclaim the second
Sunday in May as Mothers
Day. She was Anna Jarvis,
who died last fall at the age
of IS, in a hospital near Phila-
delphia.
To forgotten man" goes
the credit for conceiving a
special day each year. He is
Frank E. Herring, South Bend,
Indiana, a former professor at
the University of Notre Dame.
He made the first known pub
lie plea for a nationwide
Mothers Day on February 7,
1904 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Three years later, Anna Jarvis
began her patient, persistent
campaign to honor mother
with flowers.
