A study of the possibility of
classroom aides to free District
public teachers of some of their
time consuming administrative
chores has been ordered by a
committee of the Board Of
Trade.
The Education Committee de-
cided on the undertaking at a
luncheon meeting yesterday in
the Burlington Hotel.
The proposal came from the
teachers subcommittee of the
larger group. Its purpose, as
Explained by DR.. H. S. Hoffman,
chairman, is to determine
whether teacher assistants could
allow teachers more time in
which to teach by taking over
on-teaching duties.
DR.. Hoffman reported that q
teacher spends from IS to 40
per cent of class time perform
ling such routines as calling
rolls, preparing and correcting
test papers and the like.
No Stand Yet Taken
c. Carney Smith, full commit
tee chairman, emphasized that
the action constitutes no in
dorsement of the teacher aide
idea. Ultimate recommended
tons will be made to the direc-
tors board.

my point was and is that
high standards are required in

system" Gen. Lane asserted.

He said it would be wasting a

he said. They can't expect just
to be warned even if they are

The traffic breakdown that
began in April came as result
Of the soaring traffic death toll
this year. The 26 fatalities SO
far this year are five ahead OF
the same period last year.
Arrests Increase
In March there were 1886
traffic accidents in the District
and only 1888 arrests by men
from the Traffic Division.
In April accidents were cut
to 1929, with traffic division ar
rests up to 5,272.
In addition to arrests. police
are holding down accidents with
"a psychological approach. When
a MOTORCYCLE officer stops a
motorist. he turns on the flash
ing red light on his motorcycle
Police figure this will attract
the attention of other motorists
to the arrest being made and
encourage caution by other
drivers.

called Meridian Hill Park in

and bought 10 cents worth of
sliced ham from Mr.. Berger'S

up the hill, where we built a
fire in a hole dug in the sand,
roasted the potatoes and
cooked the ham in a pan made
from a tin can.
boy, it was a banquet fit
for a king, and we washed it
down with water taken from
the horse watering trough at
Sixteenth street and New
Hampshire avenue. No spring
water ever tasted sweeter.
For dessert we received the
palm of a hard hand in the
right places for not coming
home for dinner and having
the smell of smoke in our
clothes.
How we'll I remember fly
ing kites from this hill when
the wind was from the East,
while watching workmen ex-
cavate for the building of the
present Hotel 2400, and the
times Mrs. Henderson chased
us from the swimming pool Of
her home, Henderson's Castle,
which was just across Six

The
Rambler
Retrucing Steps
On Memory Lone
By JACK JONAS

It doesn't take much to
spark pleasant memories.
A story here not long ago
about Meridian Hill Park
touched of different memo
ries for a couple of readers.
3 Mrs. o. T. Leonard, of
Wheaton, Md, went back to
the Worlds Fair at st. Louis,
with its fountains, and from
there through two trips to
Italy and visits to italian
gardens.
The description Of the
French-Italian motif of the
Washington park recalled for
Mrs. Leonard a 1924 visit to
the villa d'Este near Rome
and a delightful story about
a .peddler.
AThis was about the time the
song, Eyes, We Have No Ba-
nanas," was popular in the
United States.
AS Mrs. Leonard, along with
a.group of other tourists, sat
down in the gardens to rest
after a busy day of sightsee-
ing, "a peddler approached,
with q case Of shallow draw
ers slung from his shoulder by
q leather strap.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-09

HE OPENED the drawers,
one by one, displaying his
trinkets, but was arousing
little interest.
Some said, No. some said
nothing, and some didn't even
turn their eyes," Mrs. Leonard
says. HE, too, was tired, but
not discouraged. I heard him
say:
What, no bananas to-
day?'
Everybody was alive in a
moment. How the tune
reached Tivoli. I can't say. But
the peddler was soon sold out"
On another trip to Italy four
years later, she met the same
peddler, this time selling his
wares in a tram" station near
the villa as Mrs. Leonard and
q companion waited for trans
portation back to their hotel.
