As a matter of fact, it is just one-third of the policy which he lays down in that address. The second element he cites is that we should cultivate friendly relations with foreign na- tions, and the third is that we should build up our foreign commerce. If some of our political agitators would fortify themselves with facts, would realize that even in the time of our first President the policy of isolation and aloofness was recognized as im- possible, we would be further on the road to peace than we are today,” he added Exchange of Professors. The exchange of students and pro- fessors between American and Eu- ropean universities, international de- nd other exchanges between was cited by President Lewis as part of the service of education in bringing about better international understanding. In speaking of the American Legion he declared: “Certainly If any or- ganization is in a position to rec- ognize the value of mutual under- standing, it is the Amcrican Legion. The improved architecture in various parts of our nation, particularly in smaller communities, bears testimony to the effect which their stay in Eu- rope had upon our soldiers. Like- wise, the improved sanitary condi- tions in the reconstructed portions of France hear testimony to the les- sons learned from our troops.” Praixes Junior Red Crows. Praise for the American Junior Red Cross and its service in inculcating right habits of health in the minds of elemen- tary echool students was given by Presi- dent Lewis, who urged those attending the convention to visit the headquarters of this organization before leaving the city “Reconstruction is not a matter of months, It was fifteen years after the civil war before conditions became set- tled in this country. It was seventeen years after the Napoleonic wars before Furope came back to normal living, and the period of reconstruction following the world war doubtless will be much longer than either of these. Whether at the end of this reconstruction period the war shall have proved to have been a great tragedy of a great milestone in the advancement of civilization depends upon the type of education that we give to the vouth of the next generation,” he conciuded.

Why delay eation, NOTABLE EXHIBITS FOR CITY’S VISITORS Rest Room for Teachers at Interior Department Building Made Attractive. Hoston University, Bosto: Visiting teachers are finding the restroom provided for them in the Interior Department building a cool 8pot to meet friends and from which to start on little journeys to view the educational exhibits of the de- partment. The restroom, located near the 18th street entrance, itself contains the home education exhibit of books and reading courses. The room is provided by the bureau of education. Among the notable exhibits in the building is an array of baskets and handwork from Alaska, ng some idea of the life of the Eskimo and other natives of Alaska, and illustrat- ing what the bureau of education is doing for the benefit of the territories. Service to Rural Schools. In the.aduitorium is a_special ex- hibit of organizations of Washington rendering any kind of service to the rural schools. ~This was_especially prepared for the rural schools divi- sion of the National Education Asso- ciation for its annual convention which Is in session this week. Among the organizations represented are the children’s bureau, showing the “Child Welfare Special”: the public health service and the bureau of education, home-reading courses prepared for the parent- teacher association of rural districts. In the main corridor of the Depart- ment of the Interior building. as a part of the educational exhibit for Natfonal Education Association visi- tors, is a six-foot chart which graph- fcally shows the contrast of the work- study-play plan and the traditional plan” of school organization. On the sixth floor of the Interior Department building there are charts showing the operation of the work- study-play plan in the different cities of the country. These charts were sent to the bureau of education by some of the superintendents of schools who are operating schools on this modern type of schol rganiza- tion. Among these are the schools of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Gary, Ind.; Bi mingham, Ala; Akron, Ohio, and Wil- mingtn, Survey Work Illustrated. How the city schools division of the bureau of education conducts a school building survey, as illustrated by the recent school survey in Portland, Oreg., is a part of the exhibit. The result of this survey was that the board of education of Portiand unanimously voted to adopt the school building program as recom- mended by the survey of the bureau COOKING. “RELIABLE” is a fact. buying that lumber when you know where you can get it best and moder- ately priced? “Better lumber here” Galliher & Huguely Sherman Ave & W St. Northwest Phone North 488 O S Al Upper, left to right: Dr. J.

E. A. Division of Subject for Teaching Held Unnecessary in Intro- ductory Work. Traditional division of social science into distinct flelds, such as economics, civics, etc., is necessary for advanced study, but it is neither necessary nor helpful in introductory work, accord- ing to H. P, Fairchild of New York University, speaking today before the National Council for Social Studies at the building of the American Asso- clation of University Women. “Actual life experiences can seldom be so differentiated, and their common aspects are more significant than their peculiar ones,” the speaker con- tinued. He added: “The task of sugial science is to cer- relate the facts sf individual experi- ence in such a way as to distinguish those which are general from those which are particular, and from the general facts work out certain laws, principles and rules of procedure. “Whether one lives his social life intelligently and _scientifically de- pends partly upon his ability and training to visualize his own experi- ences and relationships in the light of the community life. Training in this_interpretation of experiences may begin at a very early age. Teaching which is both scientific and practical- Iy constructive can be carried on_ the last two years of high school. This is fortunate since such a large pro- portion of our citizens terminate their formal education at this stage. WILL SHOW OIL FILMS.
