Touring Germans View
Old Hine School , See
Bad as Well as Good

Six West German state legisla-
tors. here to study the good and
bad aspects of American schools.
got an eye-opener today on a tour
of the Hine Junior High School at
Seventh and C streets Sc.
The group is engaged in rebuild
ing the war-shattered German
school system in their home dis
trict of North Rhine -Westphslia,
on the edge of the heavily bombed
Ruhr. Their 90-day visit was
sponsored by the American Gov
Affairs Institute, in CO.
operation with the State Depart
ment.
Their inspection of the 61-year-
old Hine School, considered one of
the worst plants in the District
public school system. was the idea
of Mr.. Richard Boiling, wife of a
Democratic Congressman from
Missouri and head of the Hine
Parent-Teacher Association.
Impressed by PTA Role.
In the course of their visit, the
Germans got an earful of the Hine
problem-the fact that, although
new building has been author
lied, the necessary $500,0O0 has
yet to be appropriated; that the
building is poorly adapted
to use as modern school plant in
terms of safety. sanitation and
facilities; and. finally, that the
shift of the Stuart Junior
High School for use of colored
students will mean an influx of
new students at Hine, swelling its
enrolment of 529.
The voice of the Hine PTA in
these plans, and the interest of
the citizen groups in the area was
what impressed the German off,
cials.
I'm Germany" observed Walter
cutlery manufacturer from
Solingen and member of the legis-
lature, schools are still admins
tered rather from the top down.
We are trying hard to arouse the
interest of the local citizens in
their school problems, rather than
simply accept what is given to
them. But it is a slow process.
Make polite Suggestions"
"Of course people come to me
from time to time to make sueges-
ions and tell me what they would
ike to have done. But they're so
oolite-it's question Of We beg
you to do this, if you feel it is a
good thing Quite a different feel
ng from your pressure groups
lere."
Led by Mrs. Boiling and Mrs.
Draper, assistant prin-
cipal, the group peered into the
nigh-ceilinged classrooms, exam
ned the paddock on the entrance
of the school auditorium, con-
demned two years ago as fire
hazard. and posed for pictures
around the antiquated gas stove
Of the schools cafeteria.
Wandering down a basement
corridor to inspect the schools
,oilet facilities, Herr Scheel
paused refectively.

said. TOO many pipes"

Visiting Nurses
Ask District for
Financial Help
Log in Chest Drive
May Force Agency
To Reduce Service

The District Commissioners
were asked today to give financial
help to the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Society, threatened with a
serious cutback in service unless
additional funds are obtained this
year.
Murray Preston, member of the
society's board, told the city heads
that in 1850 the Community Chest
agency. which provides part time
bedside nursing care for patients
at home. visited $1,000 patients
in 127.000 calls. :,
About 78 per cent of the visits
were free to S,le patients, he
added. The estimated cost per
visit is about So.
Mr.. Preston said that 40, 900 free
visits were made in 1850 to
patients turned over to the So
ciety by Gallinger Municipal
Hospital.
Fund Short of Quota.
The society's funds were cut
this year because of failure of the
Community Chest to make it's
fund quota, he said, and also the
society board has decided that. in
fairness, it should raise the nurses
starting salary from about $2.500
a year to $2,700, since the Public
Health scale is about $4,000.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
said a proposal to contract with
the society for care had been dis
cussed. but procedural difficulties
had arisen over whether payment
should be on a fee or lump sum
basis.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue suggested that meeting be
scheduled with Mr.. Preston and
District Auditor A. E. Pilkerton to
discuss the matter.
May Boost Hospital Cost.
Mr.. Donohue raised the ques-
ton whether the District by help
ing the society might open the
way for other fund-short agencies
to seek similar aid, although he
acknowledged that the District
does have responsibility for
INDECENT care.
Vernon E. West, corporation
counsel, commented that in some
cases patients might have to be
kept in the hospital if they could
not be cared for at home. Mr..
Preston said he understood that
care in the hospital would cost
about $3.50 a day.
Mr.. Preston said failure to OBJ
tain more funds would cause .
cut in the staff of Al nurses to IS.
Help Hospital Patients.
A letter to the commissioners
from Mrs. Leonard A. Block, presi-
dent of the society, noted that
the 10000 free visits made to Gal
llinger patients included mothers
whose babeies were "a to 72 hours
old, persons requiring surgical
dressings following operations and
patients with heart conditions re-
quiring skilled nursing care and
others.
due to the availability of our
nursing care, these patients wers
able to leave the hospital earlier
than they otherwise would have,
thus relieving the overcrowded
hospital and relieving the city of .
large per diem expense" Mrs.
Block wrote.
She said the society received
referrals from all other hospitals
in the city, from the Health De-
partment to nurse very sick tu-
berculosis patients awaiting ad-
mission to hospitals, from private
physicians and from other agen-
lcieS.

The last major stronghold OF

Peter and Paul.
All went well until Peter died of
old age earlier this year. Paul
took it calmly for a while, carry
ing on alone for the sake of the
British tradition. But Paul pined
for pelican friends and Britain
had none to give him.
Then Paul died, too, at his post
and the royal lake was left without
a single pelican for the first time
since Charles II reigned in the
17th century.
A London newspaper reported
that negotiations to correct the
situation have been started in the
United States in the best diplo-
matte manner. The newspaper
said the British are negotiating
with United States Wild Life
authorities in New Orleans for a
couple of American birds.
Mr.. Wakefield said he wants to
know officially what is being done.
Next Tuesday the government will
have to answer his formal question
and disclose Its pelican plans to
parliament.

Young Chefs
In the Mukinq
By Violet FouIkner

my family went away for q
week this summer and I nearly
starved to death" was the reason
that prompted mike" Curran to
join the chefs club at Washing
ton-Lee High School.
The club is part of the school
program organized this fall by
students and teachers to provide
an opportunity for the students
to discover where their talents lie
There are Is members in the
chefs club with the boys ages
ranging from IA to II years. They
meet once a week during regular
school hours. This class was OF
their own choosing because they
had a real interest in the culi-
nary arts.
1.-THE boys have some grandiose
ideas about cooking dinners for
themselves right at the start
said Miss Doris Gilmartin, home
economics instructor. She went
on to say the boys were full OF
enthusiasm, many Of them seem
to be quite at home in the kitchen
and know what it's all about. A
few know how to handle electrical
equipment such as mixers; the
others watch and learn rather
than try to fool" around and ex-
pertinent. When I asked if she
had any disciplinary problems
with her amateur chefs, Miss Gill
martin quickly replied, mo, they
are all too interested and sincere
about wanting to learn how to
cook"
Some Of the boys say they can
cook eggs. breakfast cereals, jellc
puddings and vegetables. One
boy has spent some time behind
the food counter of a drugstore
and wants to be able to cook more
than hamburgers and minute
steaks. Another wants to be able
to turn out a whole meal; still
another aspires to be a master
hand at pies. cakes and fancy
lpastry.
The class is only a few weeks
old but already the boys are find
ing out there are more ways of
serving the lowly hot dog than
Just popping it in and out of a
kettle of hot water. They expect
to make candied apples for Hal
loween (bet they'll be popular with
