ARMS PARLEY TOPIC 'URGED FORSCHOOLS Movement to Have Pupils Study History-Making Pro- ceedings Indorsed. VIEWS OF JOHN J. TIGERT Federal Commissioner Counsels Teachers to Take Up Subject With Their Pupils. ‘The movement of progressive edu- cators, designed to promote intensive study by Washington school children of the epoch-making proceedings of the conference on the limitation of armament was indorsed today by John J. Tigert, federal commissioner of education. Approval of the cam- paign already has been given by District school authorities, who have formally urged teachers to encourage their pupils to devote much attention to the study of cotemporary history in its making at the arms parley. “It seems appropriate that a study of the progress and procedure of the! conference for the limitation of ar- mament should be emphasized in the campaign of education we Commissioner Tigert. “This study should be helpful not only in the schools, but in clubs and other groups which are formed for the discussion of civic and national welfare No Time Like the Present. “The daily press, current magazines and periodicals are devoting much space to the proceedings of the con- terence and certainly no time will ever Le so ripe as the present to arouse nterest in sucn stuay EE ation of armament is a prac- tical step in the direction-of promot- ing peace. In the last analysis the nations find that the limitation of arms can proceed only upon a sound agreement and tiorough understand- ing with reference to certain problems. In other words, enduring peace will bav 1o be built upon an educationai foundation. ‘Moral disarmament’ is dargery @ omatier of education. _“reace, understanding and educa- tion pruceed slowly, but war, hatred and destructlon arise quickly. The Cathedral of Rheims, the shrine of French history, and the Cloth Hall of Ypres, the pride ana glory of Belgium, represented years of artistic toil and achievement, but were ruined in a day. As the conference on the limita- tion of armament proceeds with its work, let our children in the schools and our men and women in their respective clubs, churches and. othe organizations continue to lay the foundation of enduring peace upon a broad educational basis. Used In Americanization Work. Study of newspaper accounts of the proceedings of the conference has become a part of the regular daily work of the students in Americanization schools, it was said today by Miss Maud E. Aiton, princi- pal. Miss Aiton pointed out that the foreign-born students also are stuying the newspapers for English and style of writing. “Clippings and ‘pictures from the local newspapers are brought into class every day by the Americaniza- tion School students,” said Miss Aiton. “These pictures and newspaper stories are carefully studied, and often the students are called upom to discuss them In class. In fact, the students do a great deal of their school work from newspapers.” Miss Aiton said that one advanced class now is making scrapbooks con- taining newspaper stories of the pro- ceedings of the armament conference. “These scrapbooks,” she said, “will be said | he | I Speakin’ o’ luck, Tilford Moots received $3.50 by mail t'day that robbers had over- looked.

Recommendations were adopted call- ing for, additions to the park pelice the building of the Arlington Me. moridl bridge: favoring the appoint- ment of a resident of the District a major and superintendent of police regretting the retirement of Capt. Judge of No. 10 precinot; recommend- ing Lieut. L. J. Stoll to succeed Cupt. Judge, and authorizing the committee ; on public safety to make a survey of traffic conditions in Columbia Heights. ' A resolution presented by the school committee asking that a school sur- vey be made, despite the recent recommendation of the Federation of Citizens’ Association that no such survey be made, was laid on the table. Stephen E. Kramer, assistant super- intendent of schools, said there is no disposition on the part of school peo. ple to avoid such a survey, but thai in his personal opinion, it’ would be unwise to do anything at this time that might lead Congress to think the people were divided. the i POTOMAC RIVER CHANNEL |PUBLIC.

Naughton, an electrician now em- Naughton said it was generally reported in trade union circles that the alleged extortions amounted to at least $250,000 a year. The money, he declared, was collected by the sale of working permits to non-union men who were consistently refused admission to union member- ship. Irregularities in the administration of the union's financial affairs were brought out yesterday in testimony of William A. Hogan, financial secre- tary. He testified to banking in his personal accounts death benefits which he sald had been bequeathed him by deceased members. Testimony. by Naughton as to collection of $10 a month from non-union men for working permits was corroborated by J. J. Ulrich, Willlam Siegfried and Erfiest Metz. all of whom said they had tried ineffectually to obtain union membership. They testified it was al- most impossible to obtain work at good wages without union permits or membership. SPECIAL CARD PROVIDED.
