Dougherty Greets Delegates. In expressing the City of Washing- ton’s welcome to the D. A. R., Proc- tor L. Dougherty, president of the board of District Commissioners, said: “Washington is vour Capital in a side here, Foreign visitors so regard it, and take no account of our dis- tinctive residence responsibility for its appearance. Its merits and de- fects reflect upon the Nation as a whole. I therefore feel assured that no persuasion is needed to enlist your co-operation in that behalf, and that it will be your pleasure to further every appropriate legislative and personal effort that will conduce to the civic utilization and embellish- ment of this center of national in- fluence.” In his address Mr. Dougherty out- lined efforts to develop and beautify the Capital since 1871 and drew at- tention to the fact that since. that period Washington has grown until it constitutes a metropolitan area of nearly 650,000 people. The far-sighted population of the outlying areas of Maryland and Vir- ginia, he said, “are awake to the po- tential advantages that upbuilding of the metropolitan area will entail” and area zealously arranging to meet that progress by co-operative efforts. “‘While lauding the citizenship of the forefathers, Commissioner Dougherty took occasion to praise the present- day member of Congress and the co- operation which, as a District Com- missioner, he has met in his duties on behalf of the District of Columbi Brief greetings in behalf of the Go ernment were extended by Joseph Grew, Undersecretary of State. Grew Tells of Foreign Service. He described the comprehensive ex- aminations now given for the foreign service, which have led to the seles tion of a high grade of personnel. The speaker outlined the difference be- tween the diplomatic and consular services. He told of the comparative ly small cost of the diplomatic and consular offices, and pointed out the small pay of American Ambassador and Ministers, advocating that serv- ice men as diplon s had received the highest positions and made a plea that the positions be given for merit instead of for political or per- sonal reasons. Concluding his rem: Mr., Grew made a plea that the forejgn service appointments bhe divorced _entirely from politics, urging that where the highest posit s are open- that they be filled by trained service men. Societies Send Felicitations The greetings of the Children ®f the American Revolution were given by Mrs. Joshua A. van Orsdel, na- tional president. She declared that the . A. R. was the great seeder of the adult society and that the time | to inculcate patriotic ideals was in childhood. Mrs. van Orsdel expressed | thanks for the interest of the D. A. R. in the junior society. She said that 9,000 juniors had been transferred ; in the | st year, Two thousand new mem- bers have been added to the mem- bership. Mrs, van Orsdel pointed out that American children must be taught love of God, respect for their homes and the principles of good cit-| izenship in their youth. i Would Question Teachers. i She warned mothers to watch what was being taught their children and who was teaching them. She sug- gested a_questionnaire of teachers on their patriotic ideals, and the taking of the oath of allegiance by all teach- ers. The tomorrow of America de-| pends on the children of today, she concluded. | Denouncing the tendency of bu-| reaucracy in government, Wilbert H. Barrett, president general of the Sons of the American Revolution, protested against the enactment of such legisla- | tion as the child labor law, the pro- posed Federal Department of Educa- tion and the maternity bill as being “in direct conflict with our form of constitutional Government.” “Théy are socialistic in principle and effect and are often forced through a reluctant Congress by the ! influence of Socialists,” he warned. Mr. Barrett reminded the D. A. R. that these socialistic doctrines are be- ing advanced by speakers in the pub- lic schools, the Y. M. C. A. and at other public forums. “These conditions bring to every true American and to members of patriotic organizations a special obli- gation,” he said. Prof. Wm. Libbey, president, Sons of the Revolution, and Maj. J. G. Sims, national vice commander ,American Legion, also extended greetings. Mrs. D. A.R.
