FVEVEAR SAOOL PROGRAM FAVORED Playgrounds, Assembly Hall, Library, Etc., Wanted by D. C. Association. A resolution favoring the adoption of & new five-year school building program for the District of Columbia, follow- ing the expiration of the present so- called five-year program, was indorsed by the District of Columbia Public School Association last night, with the recommendation, however, that eight specific items be included with its adop- tion. The meeting was in the District Building. The recommendations urge the fol- wing: That no new school building should be authorized except on a lot large enough to provide ample playgrounds for all of the pupils in the proposed school, and that every new school build- ing be so planned as to include pro- vision for an assembly hall, with a stage for musical and dramatic per- formances and a booth for picture pro- Jection apparatus; a library, gymna- siums for boys and girls, laboratories for work in elementary science, shops for mechanical education and rooms for sewing and cooking, and rooms for drawing and for music. The resolu- tion further urged that in order that such special rooms may be provided without substantial additional cost every building should be adapted to a plan of school organization and admin- istration that will insure all of the rooms in the building, including the special rooms listed above, shall be in continuous use up to their normal ca- pacity throughout the school day. Herbert Wood, a member of the as- sociation’s executive committee, which recommended the adoption of the reso- lution, declared: “The resolution is in- tended to indorse the platoon school systém, but at the same time to omit the controversial word ‘platoon.’” A lengthy discussion ensued at the Meeting regarding a proposal to obtain Every ltem Must Go! permission from the school authorities to distribute little booklets containing the Proverbs from the Bible in the pub- lic schools, as outlined by Mrs. Frances Howlett-Wright, president of the Com- munity Bible Readers League. Mrs. Howlett-Wright declared that a body organized about six months ago under the name of the North American Committee for the Distribution of the Book of Proverbs proposes to distri- bute 10,000,000 copies of the book in schools throughout the United States to combat atheist propaganda. After debate the association, without obligating itself on the question, voted to send a special committee to attend a luncheon at the City Club next Tues: day at noon, over which Mrs. Howle Wright will preside, to listen to disc: sions on the proposition. Many clergy- men and church leaders are expected to attend the meeting, Mrs. Howlett- Wright said. George A. Warren, one of the Pub- lic School Association members who was opposed to distributing the booklets, de- clared that the Book of Proverbs ‘“con- tains much that reflects the barbarous ideas of a thousand years ago” and other passages, which he emphatically urged the parents explain to the chil- dren before permitting them to read the book. Oppose Circulation of Book Herbert Wood, another member op- posed to the distribution of the book, said that no special permission has been given atheists to distribute any litera- ture in the public schools and that what has been given out has been through outside sources. Both Mr. ‘Warren and Mr. Wood intimated that a special principle is involved regarding the obtaining of permission to distribute the books. George M. Moore also op- posed the distribution of the book in the schools, maintaining that the early history of this Nation shows that “state and religion must be separate.” W. J. Tucker and other members, however, were strongly in favor of the book being distributed, expressing their beliefs that it would be a moral bene- fit and could do no harm. The association adopted a resolution opposing the use of the Business High School as an elementary school build- ing when it is abandoned as a high school and recommended that it would be adaptable for a trade or night school. The need of a sanatorium for tubercu- lar children was stressed at the meet- ing in an address by Mrs. E. R. Grant, chairman of the Monday Evening Club’s special committee to work for such a sanatorium in the District. ; The following committee appoil PEERLESS FURNITURE CO. G STAR, WASHINGTOX, D.

Swedish Count and Bride Enjoy Golf Unattended. AIKEN, S, C., December 6 #).—Al- though this fashionable resort has set itself busily to the task of entertaining the distinguished honeymooners, Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden and his bride, formerly Miss Estelle Romanne Manville of Pleasantville, N. Y., the pair slipped away yesterday from the prying eye and played a round of golf alone. It is planned to have the honey- mooners as honor guests at the weekly drag hunt of the Aiken hounds in the Pitchcock Woods, and a polo match probably will be arranged. Count Bernadotte and his bride were married last Saturday in Pleasantville, with the son of the Crown Prince of Sweden one of the bridegroom’s at- tendants. —tomorrow is the last day we want to see these items in our store!!
