The shop itself is not more than ©Ight or nine feet wide, a mere square tunnel !Jrl\'exl into the hillside, the walls of which are the usual yellowish White, covered with large unpainted fizures in incised relief. They reflect the light well, and for the first twenty or thirty feet the light is good enough.

The whole thing is extremely effective, and when it has been properly treated to hring out the colors it will be as Teautiful a thing as is to be seen in “ny museum. 'Throne’s Beauty Restored. Tmmediately beyond this table is the famous throne and none could have believed how marvelously. un- *der expert treatment, the brilliance of the original colors has been re- stored. When first _examined the exposed fleshy parts of the figures of the king ¢ and queen on the back were supposed o be carnclian, but it is now se thig truly The queen’s deep sang de boeuf red 1 inlaying of headdress, of the flnest brilliant royal blue, is magnificent.

Significance of Statue. (What the correspondent here de- seribes is remarkable, and it is almost { equally remarkable that he does not point out its significance. The “sun ubove shooting down its ray, each end- ing in a hand.” is a representation of Aten, the sun-dise god of the “heretic™ faith established by Khunaten [Amen- \lotep IV.], the father-in-law of Tu i ankhamen. It was this f ankhamen abjured, to restore the old Amen faith, at the same time ‘hanging his name from Tutankhaten { 10 Tutankhamen. The throne found in the tomb, it Would now ppear, is that on which he sat gs a “heretic” king. t the heretic capital, Khutaten, and not that he oce time of his death in the orthodox Amen faith. That this throne was permitted to exist after the heretic faith had been abandoned, and even more, that it, and not his “Amen” i throne, was buried with the king, is a fact which leaves room for ex- : planations that might enlarge our { Jlender knowledge of the history of this king. It is also curious that res of the hated heretic King, iKhunaten, described by the cor. respondent further on. should have heen allowed to go into the tomb.) On the reverse of the back of the throns is a boldly modeled tier of uraeli or cobras crowned with sun discs and impressively lifelike. Work of Preservation. On the opposite side of the pathway heyond a couple of tables with cov- «red bottles and paraphernalia used in the work of preservation lies &pread on another table a delightful vollection of smaller objects. T have aentioned before a piece of jewelry found lying huddled inside the shrine containing the pedestal from which thioves had evidently stolen a statuette. This plece of jewelry is now found to be a very charming necklace of stout vari-colored beads »f different materials with a large pendant admirably carved and show- ing the king being protected or . caressed by some unidentified divine sigure which {s feminine, but like Jiorace's “Muller Formosa® ends in a fish's or snake's tail. With it is a box the size of a small- 1sh pounce box, perhaps for some cos- snetio, shaped in the form of a swan's hody with a curved neck. The ma- terial is white, probably alabaster, 1t the neck is black. What did the Jigyptiang in those days know of hlack-necked swans? Other Articles of Beauty. On the same table lie a large gold scarab already mentioned and a ~maller but still largish blue one ‘vhich is a beauty. On the under side there is no cartouche or instructions, hut the details of the real beetle are rxcellently carved with the legs neatly tucked under it. Again on ‘he same table lie two little charm- Jike figures of King Khunaten, which, us previously suggested, his daughter, ‘futankhamen’s wife, may have worn or treasured. The figures are squat- 1ing with the knees up and a hand 10 its mouth. The larger of these has been cleaned and is found to be made of beautiful deep blue glass, while 1he smaller apparently is of extreme- ly flne grained limestone, so like ivory that the siverage person at a casual glance would pronounce it a Japanese netsuke. These, with a Vbronse snake inlaid with gold, make up the select company on this fasci- nating table. Returning to the left side of the workshop, ‘one is struck with the golden shrine already more than once entioned. It is more splendid than ever. The casing is not mere gilding, but gold plates of perceptible thick- ness hammered over modeled plaster, 1hough the modeling may prove to be carving on the wood below. JIn places it had been patched long a2go with gold plates of varying thickness. The nides are adorned with groups of figures royal and divine, yet unstudled, and the top is covered with a pecu- liarly rich design of vultures with outspread wings, which are apparent- 1y the Goddess Nekhbet of southern * Jigypt, not Buto, the goddess of north- ern Egypt, as formerly stated. % .

If the robbers were disappointed {n finding only a Ushabti in the first box they {id not think the second worth open- ._Another box which excites curiosity is one the contents of which below a layer of fabrics are quite unknown, and vet another box full of fragments of the broken chariot. To this cate- gory also belong two finely decorated gilt Horus hawks, which are sup- posed to have been fixed to the charlots, possibly to the front rail like a niodern car mascot. But one cannot go thoroughly into every item of this wonderful medley of lovely things. There are stools of various kinds, some folding stools of quite a modern pattern, others beautifully inlaid with redwood, ivory and ebony, and wicker garden chairs. There are sticks, or staves, of state, most of which have curved handles very like the crook stick fashionable t the present moment, but the crook is larger. The sticks are too long to walk with, and were probably carried Dbefore thé king on state oceasions. The most remarkable of them is that which was formerly mentioned with the handle decorated with two carved figures lying feet to feet. the one of an Asitic captive made of ivor and the other of a negro captiv made of wood. Box Painted With Hunting Scenen. Some think the most marvelous thing vet found is the ivory box paint- ed with hunting scenes, which are amazingly delicate. On one side of the 1id is the king hunting lions and on the other side other beasts. A great train of shikaris and others follow the chariot in which the king behind prancing horses stands up to shoot his arrow at the hordes of animals driven before him. The ani- mals include several wild asses, num- bers of hartebeests, some ostriches, a small antelope and one striped hyena. The king is undoubtedly having great stuck as full of arrows as was St. Sebastian. Then there are wreaths and bou- quets which are still awaiting an ex- pert botanist. They contain in the aggregate a great quantity of mate- Looking at them by the light of the torch I segmed to distinguish the leaves of the *bay, the ilex and per- haps the beech, with narrower follage apparently acacia and some rounded mallow-like leaves. Enormous inter- est is being shown in these bouquets, and applications for seeds have been recelved from scientific institutions and nursery gardens and private in- dividuals in various parts of the world. ves Are Crumbling. In addition to all these are the gloves, poor, crumbling, fragile little things’ carefully laid out to be placed between glass sheets. There are also the gilded frame of the canopy, which is supposed to be the structure erect- ed over the king when he was resting to protect him from the sun, and the two remaining chariots (the third, or lion chariot, is being packed for ship- ment). The various parts of these take up considerable room as they strung out along the walls. So you come to the very end of the {1ong gallery and to see the last pieces ou have to descend a few vards of a rough, steep descent deeper into the bowels of the mountains, where the light of the torch still flashes on the gllding of the roval vehicles. Alto- gether it is a wonderful display, which once packed will probably never be on exhibition again en masse. $850,000,000 DONATED FOR EUROPEAN RELIEF Figure Represents Total Given in TUnited States Since Armistice Was Signed. Government and private contribu- ions‘for European relief work since the armistice amounted to $850,000,000, according to figures just made public by James W. Rosenberg, vice chair- man of the American Jewish Joint Dis- tribution Committee. The money, he stated, has been expended in twenty- three European countries. Mr. Rosen- berg's statement of relief expendl- tures said: “Over five-eighths of this amount has been administered by the Amer- fcan Relief Administration, under the direction of Herbert Hoover. “The American Jewish Joint Dis- tribution Committee, since the begin- ning of the war, has collected from merican Jews for relfef work in the Furopean war countries the amount of nearly $58,000,000, of which over $50,000,000 has already been spent. ‘The ‘people of America have given 50,000,000 for Russian relief. They have given another $10,000,000 in food packages which they have bought and the proceeds of which have been de- livered in Russia. “In Russia the American Jewish Joint Relief Committee has up to the present time expended approximately $13,000,000. A great part of this money was spent for non-sectarian relief.” DR. PARKER SPEAKS. Urges Need to Protect Future Generations. Future generations must be protect- ed from the results of soclal follles of the present generation, Dr. Valeria H.

SWEEPING CHANGES IN SCHOOLS URGED (Continued from First Page.) continued growth of the school sys- tem from year to year, and must also provide for the needs of the school system which have resulted from the absence of such a policy in the past. Proposed Policy Outlined: It is the purpose of this report to outline the detalls of what the com- mittee believes such a policy should be. The committee has invited to Wash- ington some of the leading educators of the United States, including the commissioner of education. A full and frank discussion has been given by these men in regard to the needs of modern education. They have spoken freely and with the authority of experience and thoughtful consid- eration in their recommendations to the committee. This testimony of educators regard- ing organization and functions of the board of education indicates that the board of education should have au- thority over the school system, its organization and administration, com- mensurate with the responsibilities imposed upon the board for the maintenance of an efficient and ade- quate system of public education. Dr. Finegan Is Quoted. From the testimony of Dr. Thomas E. Finegan, superintendent of public instruction for Pennsylvania. The following quotations from Dr. Finegan's testimony indicate his po- sition regarding the board of educa- tion and its powers: “I should say that the first essen- tial feature is to provide a sound plan of administration. For this there must be, in my judgment, a board of control that ' is charged with the responsibility of administer- ing the school system, and that board must be given sufficient authority and adequate means to accomplish re- sults.” Dr. Finegan said further: “In the state which I have the honor to represent the directors o’ school pole on Diagonal road, while going| affairs have been absolute.y inde- pendent, In every way, from munic- ipal control since 1911 X In reply to a question from one of the members of the committes as to whether he belleved in a separate board, Dr. Finegan said: Believes in Separate Board. “I belleve absolutely in a separate board. I think the experience of the whole country shows that in those citles whose boards of education have been given independence and power there have been better school systems than in those whose boards have been dependent upon other bodies. 1 think, too, you will find that boards possessing such independence have been as economical in administering the schools and as considerate of the interests and rights of taxpayers as boards have been in such matters who did not have such independence. I think you will find that to be the judgment of students of education throughout the country.” From testimony of Randall J. Condon, superintendent of schools, Cincinnati, Ohlo: After stating to Dr. Condon that the ‘Washington School budget is now a part of the business of the District Commissioners, Senator Capper asked Dr. Condon the following questf@in and the testimony quoted herewith followed: Dr. Conden’s Testimony. Senator Capper: “Would you think under the conditions existing here, whers Wwe cannot have an election under the present law, we would get any better result if the board of edu- cation had entire control of the financing of the schools?” Mr. Condon: “I belleve you would. Of course, I cl.l;l;l eay ht?' ood re- Its you hava been gettini \ir, Hammor: Do you think there are any places where they have entire control?” Mr. Condon: Senator Kinj tions?" . Mr. Hammer: “Certainly, there must be some restrictions as to the levying of taxes.” ’ Mr. Condon—Congress would be the reviewing body of the board of edu- cation, but I think the board itself should make up its budget, independ- ent of other city activities, becauss it is administering it for the benefit of education. They should put up their, budget to whatever committee passes upon -it without reference to other city functions. From the testimony of Dr. John J. Tigert, United States commissioner of education. Dr. Tigert Testifies. The following quotations are from Dr. Tigert's testimony: “The hope of an adequate and per- manent solution of the difficulty lies in conferring' responsibility for the control and management of the schools upon a non-paid lay board of education, responsible direotly to the people of the Distriot, Y¥F the educa- tion of whose children the schools are maintained. “The system of control recommend- ed for the publio schools of the Dis- trict of Columbia should embody the following feature: “Fiscal independence.—The board of education should be given luthorlt! and responsibility to maintain an “Yes; in many cities.” “With some restric- direct the schools, without interfer- ence from any source in the details of management, subject only to such legislative restrictions as would be analogous to the state legislation af- fecting the school system of a_city of similar size located in one of the states.” Board Not Administrative. It should be the function of the board of education to establish policies and to select administrative and executive officers. Neither the board nor any of its members should exercise administrative functions. Tt should not be the business of the board of education to run the school system, but to select officers and hold them responsible for operating the school system {in accordance with general policies established and de- fined by the board of education. In recent years much attention has been directed toward the manner in which the board of education in Washington shall be selected. While this is a matter of some importance, it is of minor importance compared with the authority and responsibility which s imposed in the board of education’ A board of education selected in the most f{deal manner cannot operate effectively unless it is clothed with authority. Legislation Recommended. The committee recommends that legislation be enacted which shall provide for: a. Appointment of the board of education by the President of the United States, subject to confirmation by the Senate. b. Financial independence of the board of education from the Commis- sioners of the District ¢. Management of the schools and school buildings. and all pertaining thereto, by the board of education, Administrative Plan. The superintendent should be the chief executive and an administrative officer under the board of education All other employes should be subordi- nate to the superintendent of schools. The administrative staff in public schools of the District of Columbia to- day is practically the same in size that it was in 1906, when the school system was only about three-fourths as large as it is today. The committee believes that the staft at headquarters of the board of educa tion should be increased in order to di patch satisfactorily the increased re- sponsibilities imposed upon that stafr as a result of extensions and_develop- ments of the school system. The com- mittee recommends: Urges Business Manager. That a business manager who ehall 7ank as an assistant superintendent of schoole should be &ppointed, under whom should be co-ordinated all of the business affairs of the board of educ: tion, .now distributed under several di ferent. educational employes. It has been the expressed feeling of the educators who have appeared be- fore the committee that the most progressive and efficient achool systems of the country are those school eystems in which there is a comparatively much larger administrative and supervisory staff than exists in the District of Co- lumbja. = Indorkes Legislation. The committee indorses the follow- ing legislation, now before Congress: 1. Senate bill 3136 and House bill 10890, an act to amend the act en- titled “An act to fix and regulate the salaries of teachers, school officers and other employes of the board of education of the District of Co- lumbia,” approved June 20, 1906, and for other purposes. This s not only a bill for readjusting the compensa- tion of educational employes, but it is a bill whioh carries important legislation. It is essential that this legislation be enacted into law, if the school system is to be developed in accordance with modern educational thought. 2. Senate bill 2040 and House bill 72, known as the compulsory school attendance and school census bill ‘This bill provides a better attendance law and an annual school census. The bill creates a department of attendance and work permits, ‘which department the child labor office 1s to be consalidated. 8, Senate Dbill 2860 and Houss bill 9548, providing for free text books and educational supplies for all pupils in the high, junior high, kinde: len, elementary schools in the District of Columbia. Free text books and edu- cational supplies are now furnished elementary school pupils in the ap- propristions aoct from year to year. This_bill makes statutory provision for free text books and extends the same privilege to the high school pupils. Increased Appropriations, In the interests of increased edu- catienal services the committee recommends increased appropriations for: Playgrounds, Bvening schools. Kindergarte: Text books and educational sup- plies. School gardens. Manual training. Americanization schools. Pre-vocational education. After personal inspection of many ef the school bulldings in the Dis- * ! trict, the committee believew that in- creased appropriations are necessary as follows: For {mproving the lighting of school buildings. For replacing the equipment of the manual training high school. For replacing equipment in com- mercial departments in high schools. For increasing general equipment to accommodate increased enroll- ments in high schools. For upkeep and physical improve- ment of school buildings. Ten-Year Bullding Program. Aside from the qualifications of the personnel of the teaching staff, the committee feels that adequate school- house accommodations are of most importance in any systems of public education. The construction of school build- ings 4n the District of Columbla was practically suspended during the pe- riod of the war. Even though build- ing costs have not vet returned to pre-war standards, the committee be- lieves that further delay in providing schoolhouse accommodations is un- warranted. The education of the next generation now in our public schools must not be jeopardized through any failure on the part of those who ap- propriate school money to provide adequately for their proper Instruc- tion and training. The committee recommends that a definite policy be adopted which shall provide from vear to vear sufficient schoolhouse accommodations, in order that it make it possible for the board of edu- cation to eliminate part-time instruc- tion, the use of portable schoolhouses, the use of undesirable school build- ings now accommodating classes and the reduction of the size of classes in both elementary and high schools to the standard generally accepted as desirable. Larger Units Wanted. The committes indorses the policy of establishing larger units of ad- ministration in the elementary schools. Economy of administration and educaitonal advantages of great value will be obtained by creating | school units of considerable size. Thess units should be sufficiently large to justify the employment of an independent principal who should be responsible for the direction of the school unit. This principal should be a person with the gifts and the training to assume real educational loadership of the school unit intrust- ed to his direction. The committes believes that the buildings hereafter ereoted should have at least sixteesn classrooms when erected, or should be so planned that their extension into a large unit is easily possible. The committes further belleves that in each such unit thera should be assembly hall and gymnasium, to- gother with adequate play space. In addition, the committee indorses the policy of providing for manual training, "domestic sclence and do- mestic art as an integral part of s;mh l;ahool, facilities. wherever classes in grades seven a to be instructed. RE clgntiare Beyond Experimental Stage. _ The committee believe junior high schools hlvg’pl‘ahsae?i bee yond the experimental stage. From evidence submitted the committee be- leves that the organization of public education into six years of primary work, three years of junlor high school work and three years of senior high school work has received the approval of the leading educators of the country. The committee belleves that this organization of the schools should be indorsed for the District of Columbia and should be extended throughout the school system as op- portunities arise. Such extensions should provide not only the customary academioc and scholastic training, but should include an increased amount of vocational and pre-vocational work for both boys and girls who leave school before completing the senior high school course. Playgrounds Are Urged. The committee recognizes that play is an indispepsable part of the life of all children. Play and recreation are coming to play a larger and larger part not only in the school life of pupils, but among adults. Every com- munls1 that undertakes to meet satis- factorfly the demands upon it must provide opportunity for play and reo- reation. ivery system of efficient education looks upon playgrounds as an indispensable part of the school program. Modern schoolhouse con- struction not only provides for - nasfums for indoor physical training, ermit. The ocommittee be. t the playground facilitl should be greatly increased. Library Renders Great Service, From the statements of the publie librarian, who appeared before the committee, it is evident that the Pub- lio Library now renders a large and efMicdent service and that such serv- ice is well co-ordinated with the work of the &:hoolt But it {s also eviden thai 6 library’s resources an equipment aj t gother inadequate to meét the legitimate demands fo; library service dlike of school and .fl\lh’fllflfl tion, T ‘brm staff, thuutl‘ s underpald and is insum mbers to do present worl Book and other maintenance funds are meager.

A tragic accldent and & possible death was narrowly averted last night about 7 o’clock by Maurice Al- britton and his wife, who leaped from thelr burning automobile just prior to its plunge into the river. The couple was unhurt. Mr. and Mrs. Albritton were drlving along the speedway, in Potomac Park, when the machine suddenly caught fire. Not having time even to turn off the switch, Mr. Albritton and his wife jumped out into the roadway, and the machine, {n flames, followed the road for a small distance, ca. reened to the side and jumped into the Potomac river. The water extinguished the fire, and the car was left half submerged near the bank, where many people viewed it last night and today. Mr. and Mrs. Albritton hailed a paseing ma- chine and were driven to their resi- dence, 1529 M street. Arrangements have been made to remove the machine from the river today. to young folks, including an exten- sive system of book distribution through the schools, but it is located in the midst of dangerous traffic on- ditlons. 1In spite of that fact swarms of children, some of them who come long distances, make large and profitable use of its privileges Clearly the library should have a system of branch librarles so distributed that they will furnish library service reasonably near the homes of the en- tire population of the District. _Just as thers should be in Washington the best of public school systems. a model for the entire country, so there should be here the best of public library sya- tems, also a model for the entire coun- try. The work of its central library chlidren’s room and its system of book distribution through the schools is now often studied by people from outside Washington. But so long as its work is confined fo a congested central libra- ry and one suburban branch it can neither meet the needs of Washigton nor can it have much to show to peo ple from other cities, where library serv ice has been much more highly devel oped. Comparison with other cities shows that Cincinnati, slightly larger, has twenty-four branches, fourteen in separate bulldings, and that the fol- lowing smaller cities have more branches than Washington: Minneapol sixteen branches, ten in separate buil dianapolis, eighteen branches, eleven in separate bulldings; Portland, Ore.. sev- enteen branches, ' eleven ‘in _separate buildings; Louisville, twelve branches, nine in separate buildings, and Oakland, Calif., thirteen branches, four in sepa- rate buildings. Branch Libraries. Last year there was included in the second deficlency bill in conjunction with the emergency appropriation for the school building program an ap- propriation of $10,000 for the pur- chase of a site for a branch library, and a branch library building has now been erected on a fine site in South- east Washington, with 367,000 sup- plied by the Carnegie Corporation. This branch was opened in Decem- ber, 1922, and already has large use. The library trustees plan to erect five additional separate branch libraries, all in the thickly bullt-up portions of the District, located respectively in Mount Pleasant in Georgetown, in Northeast Washington, in South- west Washington and in the vicinity of Dupont Circle. The District ap- propriation bill for 1924 provides §2 000 for a site for the Mount Pleasant branch, and_the Carnegle Corporation has aliotted $100.000 for the build- ing. In spite of the delay since 1903, when Andrew Carnegie offered “to give the necessary money * * ¢ to build branch library buildings from time to time as me to do o, the llbrary trustees hope to induce the Carnegie Corpora- tion to furnish the money for these branch library buildings. The com- mittee believes that these separate branch libraries are needed and Con- gress should make the appropriations for the purchase of the necessary sites. the trustees call on | | St.N.W. 2 destructive counteracted.by 2 a Eveywhere, this new Compteré Dental Treatment is delighting usefs~1{t s so refreshing and’ ghly cleansing. !
