The report of Mr. Schulteis, the re- tiring president, was a comprehen- ve review of the manifold activities of the chamber. He pointed out that committees of the organization had labored faithfully for th good of the chamber, and that much beneficial work had accrued®to the city from their efforts. “One year ago we tain pressing needs,’ teis. ‘They were as follows: tional Guard armory. a suitable con- vention hall, an athietic stadlum, big- ger and better schools, better ;!u.(d teachers, better paid police and fire- men, a greater water supply, auto parking conveniences, more branch libraries, better lighted streets in some parts of the city, national rep- resentatian, the repeal of the Borland law and an equitable solution of our street railway problems.

We are on the way toward | the solution of that problem. Our street railway problem has received much consideration and some -equita- | ble solution of this great public ques- tion will be found. Activities of Chamber. “Time and space will permit only a brief mention of the fact that the chamber has assisted in raising funds to defray the expenses of the joint committee on fiscal relations; that it has indorsed and stands behind the drive now being made for two new buildings for Garfield Hospital; that it has taken definite action upon the referendums which have been put out by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States; that your president and secretary are members of the| Joint “committee on civic welfare, which is endeavoring to co-ordinate the work of various civic and busi- ness organizatlons; that it has con- tinued its membership in the National A »eiation of Commercial Organiza- tion Secre ies, and sent the secre- tary to the annual meeting in Detroit in October; that it has also authorized a membership in the Southern As- sociation of Commercial Secretaries, with the secretar: its representa- tive; that, through its committee on law and legislation, it has taken de- cisive action on varlous bills in Con- gress affecting the District; that it has recently urged the resumption of athletic relations between George- Virginia. Other committee activities touch- ed on_briefly by Mr. Schultels are road markers, to direct strangers into the District; work of the law and legislation committee under Mr congressional tours to ac- | quaint Congress first-hand with the needs of the city in highways. public utilities, public safety, the Washing- ton Auditorium, which Mr. Schulteis characterized as one of the pressing needs of the city: work of the con- ventions committee, police and fire protection and the activities of the membership committee. Discusses School Situation. In discussing the school situation Mr. Schultels said: “During the vear 1922 the Cham- ber of Commerce has not slackened its efforts to further the interests of the public schools of Washington. | ot only through the activities of its large and enthusiastic public schools committee, led by Its able chairman, Mr. Henry H. Glassie, but also through the hoard of directors and by direct action of the whole cham- ber we have sought to impress upon public authorities the urgent system. n of the committes of its chairman appeared before the school sub-committee of the Senate committee on the District of Columbia and joined the represent- | atives of the school board and the) superintendent in supporting the teachers' salary bill, afterward favor. ably reported by Senator Capper and passed by the nate. When the ori- ginal estimates prepared by the board of ‘education was first threatened | with reduction, the chamber placed itselt on record by resolution adopted by the board of directors on Septem- ber 5, 1922, as steadfastly opposed, Whatéver othar reductions might be | made, to any. reduction whatever in the estimates for school appropria- tions “The chamber also, by resolution | adopted at a meeting held on Novem- ber 14, 1822, gave its influence in favor of the proposal of the American Legion for the natlon-wide observ- ance of a week to be set aside and designated Education week. As i3 Well known, this movement received the approvil of President Harding, whose proclamation brought to the whole country a realizing sense of the national value of popular educa- tio “The Chamber of Commerce was among the first of our civic bodies to appreciate the full significance of the school-housing shortage. It will be remembered that at a spectal-educa- tional meeting held in May, 1920, the | that meeting, came to be selected JAMES T. LBOYD, rst vice presiden active support of the Chamber of Commerce was given to the building program then framed by the super- intendent and the board of education as a step toward removing the tre- mendous handicaps upon the adequate functioning of our public schools. The chamber has never weakened in its adherence to that program. Urged Restorntion of Estimates. “The five members sent by the chamber to the meeting of civic ac- socfation representatives. called on December 5, 1922, under the auspices of the hoard of education, went to that meeting instructed to do every- thing in their nower to assist in re- storing the school building estimate! wlich all eitizens recognized as rep resenting the bare minimum of our requirements. When the joint citi- zens' committee of five, created ¢ the chairman of our public schools com- mitteo was chosen as its chairman. During the closing weecks of 1922 that committee, as is well known, was actively engaged in endeavoring to bring home to the appropriations committee of the Houso the indis- putable needs of our public schools in the way of housing accommoda- tions. Denied an oral hearing be- fore the subcommittee, the citizens joint committee submitted in writing @ short and temperate statement of existing conditions as they are known to all our people. The stat ment, afterward made public, w. strictly limited to the question of school housing conditions, and a per- suasive argument was made for the restoration of the various buildings and grounds items eliminated from the estimates by the bureau of the budget ne of these items, how- over, was restored. But it i grati- fying to note that the appropr tions committee, in reporting the Dis trict appropriation bill to the House of Representatives. admitted that was Impressed with the need of ex- pansion in this direction and. al- though making serious cuts in other school items, refrained from making any reduction in the bulldings and grounds items recommended in the budget. Unfortunately, many of th items were afterward struck out on a so-called point of order ralsed by a single member. “The process of getting Congress to visualize the school needs of this community i3 a slow and, at times. a most discouraging task. But the members of the Chamber of Com- merce, and, it is belleved, all of the people of the District, will continue to struggle unceasingly for proper provision for the training of the gen eration who are to succeed us in up holding the intellectual, mcral and economic life of this community. Edu- cation 1s the first concern of a civi- lized people. The people of the Dis- trict, who themselves have never re- fused to come forward with the money for the malntenance and im- provement of the schools, are deter- mined to see that the development of the children of the National Capital shall not be hampered and dwarfed by mere inability to provide them with ordinary and indispensable school-housing accommodations. Representation Necessary. “The absolute necessity for repre- sentation in Congress has never been more apparent to the people of the District of Columbia than now. The District needs some one” in each branch of the federal Congress to champlon its cause and fight for its intgrests. No matter how favorably disbosed toward the District indi- vidual members may be, it is inevi- table that their own concerns should be placed first. “Here are nearly a half million people with no representation in the law-making body of the country of which they are a part. We are satis- fied that there is a rapidly growing public sentiment in favor of national representation for the District of Columbia. “There are a number of billstaow in Congress dealing with this subject. We sincerely hope that sentiment will be erystallized in favar of the proposed constitutional amendment which will give the District repre- sentation in both houses of Congress and the electoral college. Our o ganization is pledged to this measure. The report of Secretary Arthur E. Seymour dealt with the following sub- jects: Committee service; woman mem- bers; directors’ and chamber meetings: Greater Washington, the magazine published by the chamber; office work of the secretary, and membership.
