The Conservatives narrow VIC
tory In Great Britain is not ex-
pected to lead to any changes in
personnel at the British Embassy
in Washington. Continuity is the
keystone of their civil service, said
one British diplomat here. so the
civil servants can look with equa-
nimity upon the whole situation
as far as touching their personal
lives is concerned. Not even am
bassadors are apt to be changed
with a change in government
though attacks on foreign policy
were among the more virulent
during the election campaign. II
Sir Oliver Franks quits his ambas-
sadorial post within the next year

A Program of World
Mindedness Stressed
At Cathedral School
By Ann Wilkinson

Birthdays always are occasions
for cake at Beauvoir. the private
elementary school associated with
the Washington Cathedral. But
the celebration held at the school
the other day was extfa special.
and a parade was staged to dem.
onstrate it.
The birthday was that of the
United Nations.
The party Wednesday, with six
candles on a blue-iced cake and a
procession of flags of the United
Nations made by the children
themselves, was part of the
schools program of developing
world mindedness in its 224 stu
dents. Ranging in age from 3 to
9. they learn world mindedness
along with reading, 'riting, and
'rithmetic.
That the children do grasp the

is illustrated by an uncoached
composition written by an 8-year-
old last week:
'The United Nations is import

the poor people find homes. The

Explains Mrs. Elizabeth G.
Taylor, principal of the school
since its founding 18 years ago
and a fervent advocate of the
program:
To-day teachers of small chill
dren must think farther ahead
than preparing the child for high
school and college. So important

this training must begin in his
earliest experiences.
"a child's early school years
are his most receptive years. His
fundamental concepts of life are
being formed.
