THE EVENING STAR, _WA_SH NGTON, ' D. C,, SATURD‘AY,‘ SEPTEMBER 4. 1928. - —_— CAPITAL IS EXCELLENT SCHOO SURVEYING COURSE FOR MANY CONVENTION VISITO Small and Large Associations of Various Sorts Find City Storehouse of Informa- tion, and Hotels Sufficient for Needs. BY C. E. LA VIGNE. Executive Director, Washington Convention Bureau. ‘Washington’s schools and univer- sities make it a logical educational center for the Nation. Abraham Lincoln said: “Upon the stibject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or sys- tem respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important sub- Ject which we as a people can be en- gagead in.” Born in a log cabin and trained midst most humble backwoods sur- roundings, with school attendance lim- ited to less than one year during his whole life, the sixteenth President of the United States gave to posterity one of the most famous orations of all literature and earned a place in history as America’s greatest states- man. Lincoln s our foremost exemplar of self-education. Less than a dozen books as a library; an unconquerable .| determination to get knowledge, and keen observation comprised the span of Lincoln’s opportunity for educa- tion, vet his biography, writings and ed to y others for guida: in settlement of dive to more than and authorit ent problems. Without attempting detall, it can be assertgd that the National Capital and turned | is essentially the leading modern fo- rum for self-education among all the cities -of America—one cannot visit here without gaining added under- standing. Many Come to “School.” A wide variety of organizations rec. ognize the advantages of Washington as a ‘“school”—whether the course of observation and contact study be short or extended. Some indication of the multiple groups recognizing this fact through variation of interest and pur- poses set out in meetings recently held here is shown as follows: Numismatics, Dominican House of Study, radio dealers, Jesuit scientists, Luthern Evangelical League, Nna- tional Assoclation of the Deaf, Cath- olice Total Abstinence, industrial acci- dent, train control, horticulture, preachers’ conference, heating and piping contractors, Baptists, Pan.

The capacity to “take care” of the big ones has not yet been fully taxed in the National Capital, including fa cilities for extra large exhibit space in connection with the convention meet- ings. Most convention business cen- ters in the hotels, where the groups ranging from 100 to 1,000 or more are headquartered completely under one roof and the convention is essentially a family event accommodated in one house. In this particular Washing- {ton is extraordinarily equipped, often handling several conventions on the same day in different hotels. During a month just past 46 different con- ventiohs met here in 31 days. In this great industry today organiza- tions have come to realize that the National Capital has taken its place in the forefront with Chicago, New York City and the other Iargest municipalities. ‘Washington has long been known TERMS - DONNELLY & PLANT, Inc.

Distances.” Washington Convention Bureau finds it can accurately add another slogan, nam “The City of Magnificent Edifices.” From the avenues and parks, from the ‘Capitol and the White House, from the hills of Soldiers’ Home, or the heights of Arlington, from far down the Poto- mae, and from every direction the Washington National Monument is seen as an Imposing shaft, rising 555 feet. This great obelisk in tura, from its openings in the sky, reverses the panorama for the visitor and brings the’ ensemble of all these charming edifices, streets, circles and parks in one picture.. From atop the White House there is an uninterrupted view’ practically nine miles to the North. I note with growing satisfaction that visitors are increasingly giving atten- tion to these features of their trips and are lingering longer on acceunt of these ‘opportunities.
