Smoke Control

The issue of smoke at Union
Station was before Congress
half a century ago. On March
70. 1906. The Star reported:
The new Union Station and
vicinity will be free from
smoke nuisance after January
l. 1908, If the unanimous &C
ton Of the House District Com
mlttee. is supported by
Congress. The committee au-
thorized a favorable report on
an amendment offered by Rep
resentative Sims of Tennessee.
a member of the committee, to
the Morrell bill providing
additional facilities for the
Washington Terminal Com
pany. The amendment serves
to extend after January l.
1908, the provisions of the ex-
listing smoke law to all steam
railroads within the District
OF Columbia. The prohibition
against the emission of dense
gray or black smoke or Gin
ders is absolute, there being
no period mentioned during
which emission is permitted to
occur

FIFTY YEARS AGO IN THE STAR

The District budget Of 50
years ago was less than half
Of the $24 million now pro-
posed as the Federal Govern
ment's share alone. On March
rs, 1905, The Star reported:
After a continuous session
covering two weeks and three
days, the District Subcommit-
tee of the House Committee on
Appropriations yesterday COM
pleted the major portion of it's
labors and the District appro-
priation bill is almost in shape
to be presented The Com
missioners' estimates for the
next fiscal year called for SILL
46l ,520.15. The Secretary of
the Treasury recommended a
deduction of $500, 422 in order.
he said. to bring the total
within the estimated appropri-
alton fund. The Commits
sioners, however, have con-
tended for their estimates in
full, arguing, as they have for
the past five years, for a sepa-
ration of the ordinary and ex-
traordinary expenditures. The
estimates for ordinary, or cur
rent. expenditures in this bill
are in round numbers $50 mil
lion, and the revenues for the
same period have been placed
at $5,567, $40, to which of
course must be added a like
amount to be contributed from
the United States Treasury
Making their showing on cur
rent expenditures, the Com
missioners all along have con-
tended that the revenues are
more than ample to meet all
expenses if the extraordinary
projects are financed on a
long time basis as is the rule

nifty in the c0lIntrv

Crisis in Schools

The membership Of the
Francis Scott Key School
Parent Teacher Association
wishes to thank The Star for
the fine series of articles by
James Deane on the crisis in
the District schools.
Careful research is evident
in his stories, yet the statistics
are brought to life .vividly by
his ION the spot" examples.
We hope the series will in
fluence those in authority to
bring an end to the appalling
conditions in our schools.
The future of our democracy
maybe even the chances Of
the United States for existence
lies in the training we are
giving our children.
Mrs. Don MagnusOn,
Chairman, Legislative Com
mittee, Key School PTA.
Seven years ago / visited the
Burdick Vocational School on
a conducted tour. Two things
made a deep impression: The
grading and advancement Of
the pupils, in a progressive
level as soon as it was reached;
the training of slower pupils
in repetitious levels that re-
quired a minimum of skill. but
would afford them employ
ment. Some of the methods
used may fit in with the rec
concentrations of Gen. Lane.
The splendid articles on
Crisis in the Schools" were
clear, concise and constructive.
They were not new problems,
but they have been neglected
too long. Slow children are the
ones who need a chance. Edu-
cation is available to the
others if they apply them
selves.
We are living in 1856. with
every superpowered method
and convenience. We should
honor and thank our fore
fathers for their contributions,
but our teaching methods
should be revised to meet the
individual.
Dorothy Denison.

Ace

The Star indicated on
March 81. 1906, that a pro-
vision for firing elderly Gov
eminent clerks had little hope
OF success. The story said:
That provision in the legisla-
tive. executive and judicial APP
preparation bill which provides
for the graduated reduction
and eventual dismissal of aged
Government clerks will be
eliminated from the measure
in short order as soon as it is
reached. Members of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee. at whose direction the
paragraph was included in the
bill. admit that it is subject to
a point of order. 1t is as GER
tain as death and taxes that
this point of order will be
made. Representative Chad
wick of Georgia and other
members Of the House too nu-
merous to mention have al
ready announced that they are
ready to jump on the provision
in question. 1t would be too
mach to say that the members
OF the Appropriations Com
mittee are disappointed. They
never did. as a matter of fact,
expect any other outcome. The
provision was included in the
bill In order that the condi-
tions in the Government de-
partments with relation to the
employment of superannuated
clerks might be brought to the
attention Of the House mem
beers and an opportunity given
for free and full debate on the
proposition.

is no reason why similar system would
not work equally we'll here. Certainly the
existing arrangement is lending itself to
abuses that can and should be stopped.

Compuision

The District was beginning
to push for compulsory edu-
cation so years ago. On
March Is, 1906. The Star said:
THE Morrell Subcommittee
OF the House Committee on
the District Of Columbia gave
a hearing today to advocates
OF the compulsory educa ton
law. Representatives of the
Associated Charities. the Civic
Center, the Public Educational

Association of the District of
Columbia and of organiza-
lions of citizens urged the
passage of the bill now pend
ing in Congress which pro-
vides for compulsory education
OF children between the ages
OF 8 and IA years. William
H. Baldwin, representing the
Civic Center, urged the
passage Of the law on the
ground of economic necessity,
pointing out that a child
which was not able to read
was seriously handicapped In
earning a living

Blue and gray-clad troops clash in the streets Of
sleepy, summary little town. Long marching columns
converge down gravel turnpkes. PuS of smoke wreath
hills and ridges Orchards and wheat fields dotted
with the fallen. And Pickett'S charge is once more
repused, just as on July ;, 1863.
The whole thing takes place on table top in West
port Conn., where group of artists devoting spare
time to an ambitious project animated film version
of the Battle of Gettysburg.
Thousands of automatically uniformed and naturally
posed figures plus hundreds of wagons houses, roads,
trees hills, stone walls and railroad have been
manufactured by Reg Massie and his colleagues most
of whom are ex-Walt Disney They plan to create
the movement of the battle by the panstakng method of
phoographng then changing the position of the figures
then re-photographing, through thousands of Shots
The result will be complete panoramic account of the
three-day battle. Civil War bluffs, get in line! - c.
