MONDAY, JANUARY Secretary Davis Propo ses Great National High School Project Urges Plant in Washington, With Stadium and Greek Theater, as Future Need—F oresees More Than Million Population for Capital City. Construction in Washington of = great natlonal high school plant, with a stadium, Greek theater and other features which would attract many thousands of persons here and in which great national pageants could be held, was suggested today by Secretary of Labor James J. Davis. A similar suggestion was made two years ago by Mr. Davis in a letter to Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, to which Mr. Capper agreed. The stadium which would be in- corporated in the high school plant would be made large enough to han- dle the Army and Navy foot ball games, and all great pageants cen- {trajized in the Capital. Talkn of Futare Washington. Mr. Davis predicted a future Wash- ington of more than & million per- sons, with every national organiza- tion represented here—a central agency for every organization in the United States. The movement of national organiza- tlons now is toward Washington, he sald, In every fleld, with labor or- ganizations, fraternal organiszations and other national bodies preparing plans for representation at the Capi- tal Great pageants in which the chil- dren attending the proposed central high school could be held in which thousands would take part, Mr. Davis said. Admission could be charged to defray the cost of such pageants. “Washington should not be an in- dustrial city,” Mr. Davis declared. “The tendency is all the other way. It should be the center of a educational sarily a great FETTTTTT T3 58S s SRR R reat not néces- university tnstitution, national AN XX O OO0 OO K but a central “organization for stu. dents which would make its influ- ences felt in every corner of the United States. v Attraction to Educators. “To view this great high school would come educators from all over the country and the fleld' for. voca- tional training is so vast a dream of educators along specific subjecta could be realized in the facilities which would be offered by this great high school.” Preliminary construction work could be done on the project at an ostimated cost not to exceed $5,000,- 000, Mr. Davis sld. Later, the neces sary complementary features could be byilt, bringing the total cost of the project up to bout $10,000,000. The high school and its collabora- Ing features need not necessarily be in or near the center of the city, Mr. Davls declared, but could be located in a section near the city’s center of population, where land values would not he so high as in the downtown section. —— GUN-TOTER SENTENCED.
