The bill, with one or two minor changes, was then introduced in the Senate by Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois. Mr. Snell will preside at the House eom- mittee hearings this week. “The Snell-McCormick bill provides an appropriation for- increased fire prevention, for reforestation, buying lands and other forestry work,” said Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry -Assoclation. who arrived from Lakewood, N.

The last two mentioned and Orme Libbey were in the recent vaudeville show, in which they demonstrated their un- usual dramatic ability. The Civic Association is managing the financial end of the presentation and the Dramatic Association, through its standing committees, will take charge of the staging. lighting, costuming and publicit: these three organizations working together the play will surely be a success. Mr. Devitt, a teacher of Spanish, is to coach the cast throughout the period of preparation. “Resolved, That the United States government should own and control the mines” is the proposition to be debated at an assembly the latter part of January, when two teams from the Debating Society will meet.

A rally in the interest of the alumni vaudeville show on January 16, 17 and 18 was held at the Busi- ness High School Friday, when a gen- eral assembly was called to hear rep- resentatives of the Business XNigh| Alumni_Association. John Reilly was introduced by Prin- of the officer. Mr. Reilly explained the pur- pose of the show, being primarily to raise a separate fund for expenses in- cidental to the alumni campaign for a new building. The students, who are most directly effected by the need of a new bullding, were urged to give their utmost support to this under- taking and their enthusiastic response indicated that they could be counted on. Leroy Finigan, president of the association, spoke on the activities of the association in general, including the operation of the employment bu- reau, and its soclal activities. The student body was represented by Miss Franc Schreiner, who thanked the alumni representatives for taking the initiative in the interest of a new building and who pledged the sup- port of the students for the vaude- ville show. The program for the show was an- Amo! those to take part are many s!':rsn‘in previous Business High spring _plays, he said.

The Dunbar Debating Club held its; first program Wedneada. wheén it presented the junior nd senior classes in a debate on the Japanese question. The subject was well treat- ed by both sides. The unanimous de- cision of the judges gave the victory to the juniors, who had the negative side of the question. The junior team onsists of Miss Helen Jones, Messrs. Carroll and Carpenter. The first interclass track meet was held Wednesday between the fresh- men and sophomore teams. The sophomores won with a score of 51-13. The faculties of Armstrong and Dunbar High Schools were addressed Tuesday afternoon by the Duse Mo- hammed 'Al. The address given in the Dunbar library proved of great interest to all present. Reports from Syracuse University state that Lorraine Redmond, Dunbar, 1921, formerly major of the girls' cadet corps, is doing very well in her studies. Her midsemester averages are exceedingly good. her work in Latin, philosophy and English deserv- ing special mention. Many Dunbar alumni visited the school during their vacations from college. Among the visitors were Misses Charlotte and Elizabeth West, Gladys Wilkinson and Grace Wu- liston, Méssrs. Henry Allen, Sterling Brown, Mercer Cook, Roy Ellis, George Harvy, William Hasty, Charles and Roscoe Lewis. The Fleur-de-Lis Club entertained their friends and the visiting alumni at a delightful afternoon reception Tuesday, December 27. ABRMSTRONG MANUAL TRAIN- ING. A military assembly was Wednesday morning to stimulate in- terest in phases of military training other than close-order drill. Short addresses were made by Capt. New- man, Lieut. Coleman, Lieut. Ferguson, all of the U. S. R., and George H. Murray, ohairman of the military committee. Offers on the part of Lieut. Coleman to instruct volunteer classes in minor tactical problems and from Lieut. Ferguson for machine- gun study and tactics were well re- ceived. Colville’s operetta, he Pennant,’ has been put into rehearsal by the Armstrong Glee and Dramatic clubs. Production will be under the joint direction of Ernest Amos and Miss Helen Crawford. An interesting episode occurred re- cently which shows that Washing- ton's” schools take first rank in the country for character and quality of work produced. At a recent exhibit of the work of disabled soldiers pur- suing vocational courses under the federal board the shoe and machine work exhibits of the Armstrong School, which offers instruction to seventy-five of the blesses, excited very favorable comment. Of special distinction was the machine work ex- hibit of Sergt. Martin L. Hart, for- merly of the Motor Corps. An acetylene welding plant will soon be added to the mechanical equipment of the school if present plans carry to provide this much needed accessory to the work of the auto shop. H. B. Wallace, who directs the work of the band, is looking forward to several accessions from the February entrants. This was the pioneer regi- mental outfit in the local schools, and much is expected of it at the com- petitive drill and other ceremontes. SHAW, JUNIOR, HIGH SCHOOL. The Parent-Teacher Association of the Shaw Junior High School will meet in the assembly hall of the school Tuesday night at 8 o’clock. Reg- ular business of the association, a one- act play by students of the science club, music, and an open forum will be features of this meeting. An innovation in athletic circles will _be inaugurated Tuesday, when the Junior High School senior team will become a competitor in P. S. A. L. games with senjor high school teams. The heavy and light weight teams of the school, however, have scheduled games with graded school teams. The arrival of “goals” this week has given an impetus to team practice In the school. The extension center conducted by Dr. Mary Whitley of Columbia Uni- versity has an enrollment of ninety- five teachers.

GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIV. Midyear admissions to George ‘Washington University will be made on a strictly selective basis, accord- ing to President Howard L. Hodgkins, because of the lack of necessary classrooms to take care of any large entering numbers on February 1. Students for advanced standing can be readily accommodated in the arts and science department, while enter- ing the students in law can be taken care of. Several new courses are in prospect of formation for first-year students, notably in French, Spanish and col- lege algebra. In regular academic work, however, the lack of available rooms and the fact that the teaching force is now taxed to capacity pre- cludes the possibility of admitiine any large number of freshmen for regular work. 2 “From early applications. taking into consideration that last year 300 entered in mlidyear, there is every indication that we must call a halt. this year,” said President Hodgkins. George Washington University has already broken its record for regis- tration, as the figures given out by the secretary at -the trustees' meeting showed 4.039 In at- tendance, more than 500 over last year's mark for the same time of the year. The Engineering Society is plan- ning its largest meeting of the year for Thursday, when T. Dantzig, re- search engineer for the S. K.

Woodhull is soon to be turned over to the university. The building will be used for administrative purpo: Dean Hodgkins states, but he says this arrangement may be only for the remainder of the school year, as the definite decision as to its use perm nently has not been decided upon. The Ohio Legal Club will hold its meeting tomorrow in room No. 3 of the law school. Excellent’ progress has been made toward the completion of the honor constitution. For the past two months the committee in charge, com- posed of Gladys Twele, Ralph Nagle and Robert Colflesh, have been dili- gently working to give the school a working method of preserving honor t G. W. U. At the last meeting of the student council the constitution was read by Miss Twele. Although the student council heartily approved the results of their labors, it was | considered more expedient first to galn the approval of the president of the university and the deans of the respective colleges. Final tryouts for the intercollegi- ate debate teams will be hel Wednesday at the law school, at which six men and two alternates will be:chosen from the twelve pre- liminary winners. Judges will be chosen from the debating council to represent G. W. U. The dates of the debate are not yet set. Speechmaking and dancing will feature the party scheduled to be held Monday, January 16, in Lisner Hall at 8:30 by the freshman law class. The suppression of the “Ghost™ b President Howard L.

GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY. Arrangements are being made by the rector and faculties of George- town University for a reception fin honor of the Most Rev. Michael J. Curley, Archbishop of Baltimore, who will visit Washington February 12 as the guest of the university. Presi- dent John B. Creeden, S. J., announced that special plans call for a reception later in the evening, at which the archbishop will make a brief address to the student body, following the formal event of the day. It was the custom of the late James Cardinal Gibbons to visit Georgetown University at regular intervals, and the reception to the new archbishop will do much to cement the friendly relations of the future. Invitations are to be sent out to the alumni and friends of the university, including Catholic dignitaries in the city, to a formal reception at the college from 4 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, when Archbishop Curley has signified his intention of paying his respects to the | president and “faculties of the insti tution. Wives of the faculty mem- bers will assist in receiving. :Fol- lowing the reception, the archbishon will be the guest of President Cree- den and the Jesuit fathers at dinner in the dining hall of the cloister. Other guests will be invited. At 8 o'clock in the everming. the student body will hold a reception in !honor of the archbishop in Gaston Hall, at the college. e reception will not be confined to" the college students, it is understood, and the young men from the law school, the foreign service school and the medical and dental departments are expected to be present. The program for this feature of the occasion will include felicitations by members of the senior class of the college. The archbishop is expected to make a brief repl. As much interest is being mani. fested by the friends of the univer- sity in the approaching visit of Arch- bishop Curley as was displayed in the announcement that Marshal Ferd nand Foch of France was to visit the hilltop. Two former foreign service school students, recently appointed to the consular service, have departed for Latin American posts. They are Richard P. Buttrick, who wi]l be lo- cated at Valparaiso, Chile, as vice consul, and Willard L. Beaulic, vice consul at Tampico, Mexico.

The tate Council of the Knights of Columbus of Kentucky has forwarded to Bishop Shahan, as rector of the university, an engraved copy of the tribute which it wishes to pay to the university’s ‘deceased chancellor, James Cardinal Gibbons, , The manu- script reads: . “For his simple, kindly, true nature, which never overreached and never disappointed even the least of all those who sought from him consola- tion or help. For the great charity of his heast which filled his many years witd fruitfulness, so that his charactep and life are cherished with niverse! and affectionate esteem. For what he said, for what he did and for what he was. We loved him. This whole nation loved him. Knights of Columbus had in him a special friend and counsellor whose guiding thought has been for us always an anchor of security. His supreme de- otion to God and his church is a source of undying inspiration to all who would be dutiful children of the Catholic faith. His supreme devo-; tion to his country and her institu- tions is an unfailing example to all who would be loyal, true Americans. e was an exampiar of faith and patriotism, the two great virtues that reach down from heaven to lift the universe. He was a model of patience, kindness, compassion, love, flowers in the garden of the soul. kissed Into bloom and beauty by the light of God's grace—flowers that the angels gather to strew in the path-| way of the Heavenly Eride- groom. As time weaves upon her secret loom the pattern of the passing years, her flying shuttle holds many kinds of threads spun from the lives of men, most of them of ordinary texture, but some of rare and beautiful fiber, and of those are b ol b s ol a; the threads of his life, which make up like a cloth of gold. and shed on the history of our church and our country a luster that will never grow dim.
