With the adoption of resolutions praising the development of the Wash- ngton school system under the leader- ship of its retiring president, Dr. allou, and voicing appre- the courtesies extended intendence, National Iduca- Assocfation, adjourned its fifty- sixth_annual convention late yester- iay afternoon in the Washington Audl- torlum. As was predicted, the conven- tion was the most successful ever held by the department. Ballou, in reviewing the sessions , declared the progranm Was Car- ried on so smoothly and effectively | that it appeared to be the consensus | >t opinlon among the educators that t could not have been improved upon. Praises Work of Press. “I particularly want to congratu-| late the press upon their accounts of the proceedings and the amount of space they devoted to the convention wtivities,” Dr. Ballou said today. T um convinced that the publicity ex- ‘clled any ever before accorded the lepartment of superintendence in any | )t its conventions.” Eifght cities have invited the next annual convention, one of which will be decided upon by the executive committee of the department with- in the next several weeks. They are: Houston and Dallas, Tex.; Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Louisville, Ken.; Kansas City and Atlantic City. When introduced to the convention | vesterday afternoon, Dr. Randall J. Condon, superintendent of achools of Cincinnati, Ohlo, newly elected pres- ent of the department, declared that “every possible effort of the depart- ment of superintendence will be ex- | erted to force enactment of the Cur- tis-Reed bill providing for a Depart- ment of Education. Will Fight Prejudice. Dr. Condon was Introduced by Dr. Ballou. The new president also pledzed his personal efforts and the force of the assembled educators to a program which will “help create a unity of spirit throughout the Na- tion, without regard to race, religion, creed or_section. Miss Mary McSkimmon, president | of the National Education ocia- tion, at the luncheon meeting of the de tment of classroom teachers of education vesterday at the Lafayette | Hotel. declared “the good teacher should be conserved for teaching and not_for administrative work. “To this end,” continued Miss Mec- Skimmon, “teachers should recelve | greater compensation than school | executives and not be ‘elevated’ to those positions for financial reasons | when they could render a much great- | er service as teachers, The main purpose of educational therings is to promote co-opera- tion between all groups engaged in | educational service.” THREE MORE MARINES FINED IN RUM CASES| | Trio Must Serve 30 Days Each if They Cannot Pay $200 J Assessments. " ———— | Jor the second, time in the last two | days members of the marine force | ationed at Quantico, Va., were | brought into court for violation of | the prohibition laws. The defendants | today were Sergt. William Frank | Loechle, Sergt. John Serbu and Corpl. s H. Cooley. They were convict- ed by Judge Gus A. Schuldt of trans- porting and illegally possessing 20 #allons of colored corn whisky. They were fined $200. If it is defaulted a jail sentence of 30 days will be im- posed. The marines were arrested early { this morning on the Bladensburg road by Policeman Oliver K. Stanton and C. P. Powell of the twelfth precinct. The automobile was searched after the police had pursued it for speeding and not having a rear light burning. The driver, Sergt. Loechle, was fined $20 on each charge in Traffic Court. Sergt. Serbu stated in court that they bought the liquor in Baltimore and were taking it back to Quantico for a celebration on the post. He sald that more than 100 marines had chip- ped in for the ljquor in order to cele- brate a large 'detall being ordered away to Cuba. He placed all the blame on himself, saying that the two men with him 'did not know there was liquor in the car. Four marines were convicted yester- day by Judge Schuldt for the same offense. Since the first of the vear more than 20 marines have been caught running liquor from Baltimore to Quantico. According to Thomas Lodge, assistant United States attor- ney, and Capt. Guy E. Burlingame of the flying squadron there has been much peddling of liquor in Quantico lately and the authorities there are anxious for the civil courts to take action rather than having the men tried by the military authorities. | ESPONSTRL ontracted by any one ot WM.

DELEGATES STAY FOR EDUCATION BILL HEARINGS Dr. J. W. Gwinn Working to Remove Partitions in Primary Grades—Prominent Women in Conference Continuing Activities. BY ALICE ROGERS HAGER. With the closing of the official ses- sions of the department of superin. tendence yesterday afternoon, many of the N. E. A, delegates began pack- ing their bags and speeding for the trains that would carry them home, Many, however, are staying over a few days longer for final committee meetings and for the remainder of the hearings on the education bill. _Among those who were ‘“listening in” this morning to the arguments advanced by the opposition were Dr. J. W. Gwinn, superintendent of the San Francisco city schools. Dr. Gwinn is chairman of the committee on continuity of the N. E. A. and is experimenting in his own schools with the new ldes for breaking down the partitions between subjects in the primary grades. ing the kindergarten and first grade subjects. He i also using a new type of classroom in the first, second and third grades—one in which there is an alcove with sink, workbench and ample storage space, so that hand. work may be taught more efficiently. Innovation Held Important. And the {nnovation which he con- siders the most important is the con- stitution of an advisory council to the superintendent, composed of two teachers from each grade, elected by the teachers themselves, and to whic the superintendent can refer his prob- lems for consultation. He 18 striving to go as far as possi- bl in all these ideas to tie the school more closely to the home, and is let- ting the teachers move up with the children, when they first enter school, for at least the first two vears, before the teacher returns to the lower grade again. In this way the teacher knows the child and its problems far more in- timately than in the old way. Miss Winifred Hausam of Los An- geles, retiring president of the natlonal committee of Bureaus of Occupation, who is director of the Bureaus of V. cational Service {n her own city and in Pasadena, held the meetings of her conference at the Hotel Washington last week, and then remained over for the spectal sessions of the allied groups.

Although doing everything in its power to minimize radio interference from its shore stations, the communi- cations division of the Navy Depart- ment admits that complete elimina- tion of interference in the broadcast bands under present conditions is fm- possible. IR bulletin issued to all of the operating personnel of the division attention is called to the many com- plaints of interference lodged against the naval stations, and the fullest co- operation is ordered to eliminate all just causes of these complaints. Not Always to Blame. While it is admitted that some of the Navy statlons cannot escape cen- sure, the bulletin points out that reful investigation of many cases of alleged naval interference has traced the blime to other sources than Government transmitters. Non radio emissions, such as result from | power lines and instruments and manipulation of reveivers much of the annoyance. rference is admitted, however, in cases where the lack of funds has prevented replacement of several small spark transmitters with more modern apparatus. and in the high- powered transmissions to ships of the merchant marine, where, because of lack of CW equipment aboard these vessels, the broader and more inter- fering ACW form of sending must be used. All of the highpowered arc trans- mitters of the Navy, it s set forth, have been ordered to remain silent during the principal broadcasting hours in order that their harmonics and “blanketing” will not bother the {steners in the immediate vicinity of the stations. caus Int Ipiscopal Church and the Daughters f the King. member of Church for man 5 1so was a member of the Robert E.
