—_ = * CATIZES G INNORMAL SCHOOL Miss Goding Says Many En- ter With No ldg“als of “ Teaching Profession. “Too many students are entering : the Wilson Normal School because 'y can think of nothing else to do,” Miss Anne M. Goding, principal, pointed out in her ‘annual Teport, which-was made public last night as @ part of the final sectlon of the an- nual report of Superintendent of Schools Frank W. Ballou. Miss Goding advocated that a re- striction be placed on admission to the normal.school to keep out this «clags of students, whom she xaid have completed high school courses “with such’ indifferent accomplishment-as to make leadership as teachers in the community improbable” The physical examinations required all students before entrance to normal school and also Before iving their diplomar for gradua- tlon, Miss Goding sald, are working to the advantage of ‘the achools, but also to the deciled ad- vantage of the students. “The stand- rd set: by these examinations ™ “leadn to a steady.gain in strength of the city's teaching corps.” g Accounting for Property. A regulation which will hold the mecretaries and employes of ‘the com- munity centers responsible for the care . and _preservation of school property when it Is used for com- munity purpo-es is recommended in the report of the sunervising prin- cipals of the first nine divisions. Princivals and teachers of the day #chools—the permanent tenants of the school building,” said the report, “are -held to an accountabllity for damage and losses, and it is, there- fore. oniy just that those who con- trol the evening activities should be £ beld. _ Such an additional regu- ation should safeguard the school property and vest in the principal the right to determine what portions & building can safely be us, Ang activities and what | rooms should be exempt from such ctter co-operation between the ight janitor nd an adequate uld be provided nter g0 that the focd sanitary condition of sehinol- ms and tollets shall not be im- Aired by constant use and made un- for the occupancy of the day e When the utilities of a public hool building are used at night for sa 1t is essential that the 1aft tn a clean and sanitary inditfon, and that property damage nd Insses be, if possible, avoided This can only be accomplished ing the responsibility from the shoul- ders of the principal and placing it tipon the authorized head of misht activities.” 0ld Geogrnphles in Use. Alexander T. Stuart, director of in- termediate ipstruction, emphasizad ort that thousands of ob sraphics containing many | s are still in use and must be -until a material Increase in the uppropriation s secured. Other texts, Sich o8 a civies for grade 7 ana a vlogy for grade 35, ver have n purchased, even In part, he said, while numerous des’c books and other supplementary material wait upon the time when funds can be made available. A plea for a salary schedule which will attract tenchers of “fine prepara- tion and mpe experience” is made by Fovmer Assistant Superintendent Stephen E. Kramer in his repart. “The greutest problem of the three years Just past,” he said, “has been largely the kecping of fhe ranks of che teiching force dlled with capable ersons’ to meei the needs of in- creaged enrollment and to succeed those who have left our ranks to ac- cept better positions offered else Where.” The cure for such @ condi- tiom, Mr. Kramer declared, Is adequate ealaries for the teachers. Tribute to Cadet Corps. The former sssistant superintend- ent also paid a high tribute to the Cadet corps. “After many years of ose personal contact with the work- 1gs of our cadet system,” he said, £°1s my bellel thut it forms tae cstwvehicie for real chiracter train- 1&g that has ever come under by ob- crvation. Two essential character- istics of our work &hould be noted: The.close correlation with the regu- lar work of the school and the usge of the system for character training Tather than the smphasizing of mere- Iv_military instruction.” "Those who tave desired botter organization of the school system of the District of Columbia,” Mr. Kra- et gald; “have rejoiced’ to see the Tipid development of the plan for the unifying of supervision and educa- tional dlrection in the elementary schools. The grouping of the smaller Schools Into educational units of a to permit of departmental work 1d the employment of a principal Who, shall be a reul resident directive educational force promise much for | the progress of our schools.” Compliments Dr. Ballou. Garret C. Wilkinson, assistant su- perintendent in charge of colored schools, in hls report commended Dr. lou for the thrce outstanding {evements of his administration, which he classed as “the compre- Lensive educational program for edu- cation, the widespread support of this program by the cltizens of the Dis- trict of Columbla, and the Integration of the schoo! orzanization through rules and regulations to standardize and unify the practice of school officlals’ The final section of Dr. Ballow's re- taiss the annual report .

SENATORS CONFER ON SESSION WORK Several of the republican-progress- fve and the two farmer-labor sena- tors from Minnesota were In confer- ence for half_an hour yestorday at the Capitol. Senator Norris of Ne- braska, who :clled the gathering, de- scribed it as an informal meeting for the purpose of getting. acquainted and lwngnlnl ideas on legislative and other subjects. Besides Senator Norris those at- tending were Senators Borah of Idaho and Brookhart of Iowa, republicans, and Johnson and Shipstead, farmer- labor, Minnesota. The conference probably will be resumed next week, when it will be poesible for more of the republican-progressives to at- tend. Organization questions, and more particularly that of whether Senator Cummins of Iova is to retain his present places as president pro tem of the Senate and chairman of the Interstate Commerce committee, were among those brought up. Senator Norrls declared, however, that there was no decision on any eubject. Senator Norris sald that In calling the meeting he was not acting at the request of Senator La Follete of Wisconsin, a leader of the republican- proj ve_group,.who.is confined to his ‘here with-an attack of grip. ;jat a season when many extra dutles DESCRIBES MADISON REGIME IN CAPITAL Gaillard Hunt Stresses Influence of White House Mistress i on Country. Lifc {7 the White House during the regime of James Madlison, “the grea est _constructive statesman America ever produced” was described by Galllard Hunt before the Washington Study Club at its meeting vesterday at the headquarters of the Federa- | tion of Women'’s Clubs, 1731 N street ' northwest. Dolly Madison, Mr. Hunt declared, Was a woman of “unfallinz genlaity, hospitality and tact. The White House during her eight vears of do- minion was the pleasantest resort in those were. golden { “Mrs. Mad!son was not a -politi- jclan.” the speaker pointed out. “She ! attempted to exert no influence npon {her husband in political affairs_or ieven in appointments to- office, hut all of the leading public men were her friends, and they ungu:stionably were influenced In’ supporting the President by the kindly feeling they jhad for his wife.” i Madison did more toward bringing faboul the constitutionsl ‘onvention , and in leading it than did any othir i person, Mr. Hunt assertad. CENSUS OF DISTRT LIKELY NEXTYEAR Police May Make Count if Other Duties Permit, Says Oyster. A new census of the population of Washington may be ‘taken by the! police early in the new year. Commissicner Oyster stated last| night that he would give the matter consideration before spring and | would look favorably upon it ff eon- {ditions at that time are such that ithe police would have the time to devote to. it . Although it is four years sinca the ithe commissioner and Maj. Sullivan sald they could not order a popula- tion count at this time of year. The counting of every men, woman | and chfld within the four boundarics | of the clity is not un casy task, the police chief pointed out, particularly | arc imposed upon the uniformed force. i Christmas Brings Work. Within a week or ten days an extra detail of men will have to be trans- ferred to the downtown section to assist in handling trafic during the Christmas shopping period. Until recent years the police took a census every two years. Since 1919, however, the department has | been undermanned, and the authori- { tiea have not attempted to follow the custom. | The police census of November. 1919, showed a total population of 455,425, A new census, in_addition to giving the present population, would show which sections of the ity are row- ing most rapidly.

Walsh, in Talk Before Doctors, Says Tuberculosis Is Most Curable. Tuberculosis is the most curable dizease tho world, Dr. James J. Walsh of New York told members of the Waplya Club of Washingtor. phy- slcians at a meeting iast night in the Unlversity Club. Its only victims, he | sald, ‘are the “quitters.” Autopsies have revealed, Dr. Walsh explaired, that every person in the world who has reached the age of thirty years has had some stage af tuberculosis. “Nine-tenths of them get Detter witaout ving that they had the disease” he said. “The one-tenth who die are quitters.’ Imaginary liness. Dr. Waish impressed on the phy: slcians that much iliness is more or less imaginary afd can be cured by changing the attitude of the mind of | the patient. He cited the case of a | woman who had been bedridden for | two years, claiming she was a crip- ple. A fire broke out in her house,” he sald, “and she was the first per- son downstaire. Sixty per cent of all patients who come ‘inta a doctor's office_complaln- cmphasized, can be cured through & hunge in the attitude of their s ‘A nasty y he will serve to remind these pa- tients that thev must get better.” “We have learned that hysteria super-suggestibility, and that hypno- tism is induced hysteria,” declared Dr. Walsh. “Up to the mineteenth und tweniieth centuries the doctors gavs peopie fits and then cured them. Eeccentric Methods. Dr. Walsh spoke on “Funny Things That Have Cured People” and de- scribed the various eccentric methods empioyed. by docters to effect cures | for thousands of years. He told of | a physician in Vienna who used mag- nets shaped in the form of the or- gans of the human body to draw disease and pain from his patlents; another who effected cures by touch- ing his patients; and a third who used a battery to cure persons. And, | strangely enough. Dr. Waleh said. these physicluns are credited with cures where medicines failed. “Our diseases arc about the same today as they were centuries ago.” “Dr. Walsh concluded, “and the our haven't changed much either." i More than 100 prominent Wash- tngton physicians attended the meet- ing.
