- Was a normal student. FUND FOR DEAF S DISTRICT SUPORT Northampton Work Linked With Mrs. Coolidge, Dr. Bell, Dr. Grosvenor. Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, and Dr. Gilbert Gros- venor, editor of the National Geographic Magazine, are three ties of personality | through which Washington has become | keenly interested in the progress of the $2,000,000 (Coolidge) fund for the Clarke School for the Deaf, in North- ampton, Mass. The fund is to be used | to strengthen the equipment of this ploneer school and to found a re- search department for intensive study of problems relating to deafness. Mrs. Coolidge knowns the school, its methods, and its staff from the personal contact of a member of the family, for it was here, under the famous teacher, Caroline A. Yale, that she prepared | herself for the specialized task of teach- ing deaf children to speak and read the lips. After completing the normal course, to which she came after her graduation from the University of Ver- mont, she s&en! two years teaching at the school before her marriage to the young Northampton lawyer who was destined for high places. That was more than 25 years ago, but Mrs. Coolidge has maintained a close association with the school, visits it frequently, and has as her guests at the White House many of her former associates. By permitting this fund to be named for them, Mrs. Coolidge and the President have called attention to one of the most neglected of all educa- tional problems. | Trustee of School. Dr. Grosvenor is a trustee of Clarke Sehool and chairman of the local effort to reach the goal by March 4, to enable Mrs. Coolidge to present the fund to the school while she is still mistress of the White House. Dr. Alexander Graham Bell was Clarke School's “patron saint.” He came to it as a young man from Scot- land, where he was perhapé the most expert teacher of phonetics of his day. His father, Alexander Melville Bell, was an elocutionist, who had formulat- ed the results of his study of articula- tion into a system of signs known as “Visible Speech.” In this code, every possible sound was represented by writ- ten symbol so that, given the symbol, the initiated could reproduee the sound it nted even though he had never heard it. At Clarke School, Alexander Graham Bell instructed the teachers in the visible speech system for three months and continued to supervise their use of the method for three years. This system formed the basis of an adapta- tion by Miss Alice Worcester of Clarke School and Miss Yale, which resulted in the Northampton Speech Charts, now used, with modifications to suit the particular need, wherever speech is taught to the deaf. It was at this time, while attempting %o make an amplifying device to heln the partially deaf te hear, that Bell invented his telephone, which he per- fected in Northampton and in Boston. Later he met Mabel Hubbard, daugh- ter of the first president of Clarke School’s trustees, and leader in the effort to establish the school. She had Jost her hearing and with it her speech, through illness at the age of 4. Be- cause Mrs. Hubbard had succeeded in teaching her to regain her baby speech, and then to add to her vocabulary and to read speech on the lips of others, instead of being taught to communicate by means of signs or spelling, Mr. Hubbard determined that other deaf children showld Jnot.be exiled to muteness. £ &% After several years of determined ef- fort he succeeded in gaining a charter for an oral school from the Massa- #chool, chusetts - ~This , which opened its doors in Northampton in 1867, was giter John Clarke, & wealthy and benevolent resident of that city, whose original gift of $50,000, permitting the school to open, was in- creased at his death to approximately $300,000. And this gives Washingtonians an- other point of contact with Clarke School, for Mr. Hubbard afterward came to this city and helped found the National Geographic Society. Bell's Interest in Work. America owes the telephone to Alex- ander Graham Bell's researches in pho- netics and to his efforts to help the deaf. His devotion to Clarke School never languished and, in later years, he seldom made a trip from Washington to his home in Baddeck, Nova Scotia, without stopping at Clarke School to give attention to its affairs. He served as a member of its board of trustees for 25 years and as president of the board ;usx;zflve years previous to his death in At the time Grace Goodhue entered Clarke School, as a student in its teacher training department, the insti- tution was under the supervision of a principal who has become recognized as one of America’s most remarkable educators, Miss Caroline A. Yale, It was Miss Yale who had charge of | Mrs. Coolidge's instruction when she It was she who supervised her work as a teacher. For & year the girl graduate from Vermont learned the problems of the deaf, learned to enunciate her words so clear- | ly that those who hear nothing could | read the accents on her lips, learned | the phonetics of words and the physi- | ©logy of the vocal cords—was, in fact, a | student of the anatomy of sound. After a year's preparation Grace Goodhue began to teach. One of the primary teachers was on leave of ab- | sence that year and Grace Goodhue | was substituted in her classes. | R&;egextge;fithe primary teacher an ss Goodhue w lthntercr‘n:fld‘l;!e class. g rs. ge has scen the boys and girls she taught grow. up and tak{ their :;::: h; :Qe wor_l‘d of hearing people, of em with a - ol h a distinction en. . .

AMERICA SENDS EXHBITS T0 SPAN 23 U. S. Bureaus to Be Rep- | resented at Seville Exposi- tion Opening March 15. Exhibits of 23 Government bureaus of the United States are en route to Seville, Spain, as part of the Ibero- American Exposition which will open on March 15, and a number of Wash- ingtonians are on the high seas, aboard the S. S. President Harding, to help the undertaking. Seventeen republics of North and South America, including the United States, with Portugal and Spain, will participate in the exposi- tion. Three buildings in the Maria Luisa Park beside the Guadalquiver River—one of which will be the perma- nent home of the United States consul in Seville after the exposition—will house the official displays of the United States, most of which were made in Washington. £ A duplicate of Columbus’ ship, Santa Maria, will sail up the Guadalquiver from the little hamlet of Pagos, from which the discoverer of America actu- ally sailed, as & symbol of the ties bind- ing the two hemispheres, and the ex- position will then be officially declared open by King Alfonso. Many Activities Shown. An_extensive variety of activities in the United States calculated to interest Spanish folk will be shown in the ex- hibits from this country. Advances in commerce, the arts, science, industry and home-making will be displayed, and a_demonstration of the latest accom- plishments in the fields of aeronautical and radio research will be offered. ‘Washington will be well advertised to the visitors to Seville, for a large model of the Capitol measuring 7 feet by 13 feet, will be the center of the exhibit to be shown by the National Commis- sion of Fine Arts, in co-operation with the National Capital Park and Planning Commission and the architect of the Capitol. This model is the work of Emile Garet, the sculptor, who devoted three months to it. Included in the leading works of sculpture and archi- tecture in this country will be a series of enlargéd photos hs of leading plans and projects for the development of the National Capital. The exhibit of the Department of Commerce, which has been compiled under the 'direction of Capt. Sidney Morgan, includes an automatic counter, devised by Bureau of Standards experts, which will be used at the entrance to the United States grounds. An elec- tric light ray played on the entrance will be interrupted by the passage of each person through the gates, and the mechanism which breaks the light will register an additional unit. An ortho- phonic talking machine, equipped to broadcast music or speeches from any part of the three United States build- ings, will be another interesting feature of this department’s display. There will be a radio designed to pick up low wave length programs from the United States and rebroadcast them in the ex- position palaces. Model Coal Mine. The Bureau of Mines will have a miniature model coal mine, under- ground, with modern methods of venti- lation and sanitation installed and op- erating. Thus visitors to the Seville Exposition will be given a glimpse of coal mining as it is done according to medern American methods. Safety measures will be demonstrated by flags and ribbons, indicating how directed draughts bring fresh air to those who toil in the mines. An actual working model of an ofl well will also be prrt of the Bureau of Mines’ exhibit. A great mural backing these models will depict all the various branches of min- ing as engaged in in the United States. Capt. Morgan will have charge of the 12 exhibits from the big Department of Commerce bureaus at the exposition. He is an aide to the 29th National Guard Division commander and former member of the United States Bureau of Efficiency. ‘The Sesquicentennial Expo- sition bestowed upon him a gold medal for his efficient supervision of the De- partment of Commerce exhibits there. Working models of airplanes, light- house, navigating and life-saving equip- ments, motion pictures of American in- dustry, a world cleck and a gigantic phonographic - radio - public address equipment are also numbered among the Department of Commerce exhibits. Radio Progress Shown. The Navy's services in the direction of scientific progress and the develop- ments of aids ‘to air, surface and underwater navigation will be reflected in the exhibits of the Navy Department. The Bureau of Engineering has asscm- bled an exhibit showing the progress of radio communication radio-compass aids to navigation and subsurface com- munications and soundings for depth finding. Modern radio material will be shown, and the Hydrographic Office display presents the development of charts and chart making. The Naval CAPT. SIDNEY MORGAN, One of the American representatives to the exposition in Seville, He will have charge of the Department of Commerce exhibit. —Harris & EWing. chronometers and other navigational instruments of all periods, with a lay- out of astronomical clocks and attend- ant material and charts showing the working of the observatory's world-wide time-signal service. Models of the light cruiser U. S. S. Richmond, the submarine V-1, the dirig~ ible Shenandoah and models of the latest types of aircraft form part of the Navy's exhibit. A painting of the U. 8. 8. Constitution by R. Salmon and loaned by the Naval Academy Museum will hang in the Navy's exhibit rooms. Co-operating with the Library of Con- gress, the American Library Association will install a model reference library at the exposition. The Library of Con- gress will be likewise represented by displays of historical and literary sig- nificance, including maps showing the routes of De Soto upon the Mississippi, of Coronado in Arizona, Kansas and other sections of the country and other explorers’ trails. The United States Army Band will visit the exposition in the Spring and will feature a series of concerts, in which unpublished and original Old World music of the Americas will be played. 3 Farm Methods to Be Exhibited. Alarge world map, showing how Govern- ment and privately owned American ships connect this country with foreign fm'u. will be a part of the exhibit of the Shipping Board. The Department of Agriculture will show the methods of producing and marketing used by cot- ton planters, tobacco growers, dairy- men, poultrymen and cattle raisers. The Bureau of Reclamation of the Interior Department will illustrate for the information of Spaniards faced with a similar problem the means by which the vast tracts of arid land were made fertile by irrigation. A huge map, marking the routes taken by the early Spanish explorers in this coun- try will be another feature of this de- partment’s exhibit. A collection of his- torical documents issued by the Span- ish crown during the fifteenth, six- teenth and seventeenth centuries, in- cluding land grant patents, patents of mines and orders of nobility conferred on Spanish governors will be yet an- other feature of the Interior Depart- ment exhibit.

To provide more business-like and systematic control over the numerous student activities funds in the College of Liberal Arts of American University, | a system new to college life has been | introduced by the appointment of a | student, Edwin Kelbaugh, as controller of the American University Students’ Association. In making this announcement, Dr. George B. Woods, dean of the college, stated that Kelbaugh, whose home is in Bowie, Md., is taking a course in economics and business at the college, including a special course in advanced accounting He has been clothed with authority in his new position of being the actual controller of all funds paid in by students for any kind of student activities whatever, so as to give a more strict accounting to the numerous treasuries. For instance, each organization which now has its own treasurer must account to the new controller for every cent received and every cent expended. The scope of the new scheme includes all student activities and groups, such as athletics, the student annual, the stu- dent papers, class organizations, class clubs and social groups and clubs. Dean Woods Enthusiastic. Dean Woods is enthuslastic over the new plan inaugurated, and feels that it is a modern and worth-while advance over the old system still in vogue in virtually every college in the country of allowing all student groups to run their own affairs, without supervision. So far as he knows, Dr. Woods said yesterday, this is. the most advanced step of its kind yet taken by any college. Dr. Lucius C. Clark and Mrs. Clark, who Tecently attended educational meetings at Chattanooga, Tenn., have gone to Florida on a combined business and pleasure trip. They expect to be gone for about two weeks. Examinations for the end of the first semester started in the College of Lib- eral Arts on the campus, and at the downtown Graduate School and the School of the Political Sciences, 1901 and 1907 F street yesterday, and will continue to next Saturday. ‘The second semester will open Tues- day, January 29, at all three schools. Registration at the college may take place up to Monday night. At the down- town schools, registration will be Friday and Saturday next. Several “one-semester” courses will be offered at the three schools, which may be entered by students with the proper preparation from an academic standing. At the downtown school among the new courses are the following: Industrial corporations, investments, and banking, accounting, the law of public utilities, w 1 HEBREW EMBLEMS and United States constitutional law. One-Semester Courses Open. At the college on the campus, one- semester courses which will be open to new students include: Elementary anatomy and physiology, vertebrate zoology, advanced inorganic chemistry, labor problems, elementary psychology applied to learning and study, introduc- tory experimental human psychology, principles of education, physical and mental hygiene, history of education in the United States, administration and supervision in high school, educational tests and measurements, school hygiene, advanced psychological problems, prac- ticum in mental testing, Dr. Johnson and his circle, French letter writing, French advanced conversation, the Romantic movement, Greek comedy, the Revolutionary era, Horace, governments of Europe, great characters of the Bible, methods of teaching religion. ‘Will Hutchins, professor of art of the university, is delivering a series of lec- tures before the Association of Private School Teachers of Washington, on “The Evolution of the Modern Stage and Its Drama,” at 1901 F street. The next lecture will be January 21, Mrs. John S. Bennett of Central Union Mission, addressed a group of girls at the college last Tuesday on social work, as one of a series of voca- tional addresses. Mary Jane Stewart and Sadie Mae White were in charge of the program. Miss Mary Louise Brown, dean of women, was a delegate to the Confer- ence on the Cause and Cure of War held here last week. Mrs. D. O. Kins- man and Mrs. George B. Woods served on _the registration committee, The_college French Club entertained last Tuesday at the college with a musical play “Pastorale.” The leads were sung by Delsie “Appel, Carleton Ayres and Ronald McLaughlin. Dr. Edward T. Devine, who recently resigned as dean of the Graduate School to re-enter the field of social service work in New York City, was honored by a farewell luncheon yesterday afternoon at the Y. W. C. A. administration build- ing. Sponsors of the luncheon were the Monday Evening Club, the Council of Social Agencies and other welfare groups. AMERICAN U, WINS DEBATE FROM G. W. U. Gets Unanimous Decision on Nega- tive Side of Freedom-of-Speech Resolution, American University won a unanimous decision over George Washington Uni- versity in debate last night openin forensic relations between the two locn{ institutions, at Hurst Hall, on the American University campus. The winners defended the negative of the question, “Resolved, That the principle of complete freedom of speech and press on political and economic questions is sound.” The three judges who gave their votes to American Uni- versity were Robert N. McMillen of the Federal Trade Commission, J. F. Eber- sole, Treasury Department, and Lyle Ashby of the National Education As- sociation. The winning debaters were Blake Espey, W. Willis Delaplain and Roland Rice. The George Washington team consisted of Douglas L. Hatch, J. F. Jackson and J. L. Seymour. Dr. George B. Woods, dean of the College of Liberal Arts of American University, presided. EW PLANE HEAVILY ARMED terday n 'I;:ll- The new for performa REAPPEAR ON COINS Jewish Money Is Minted for First Time in Nearly 2,000 Years. For the first time in nearly 2,000 years, Hebrew characters have ap- peared on Palestine coins. The new coins have been struck in Jerusalem under the direction of the British government, which exercises supervisory powers over minting facili- ties in Palestine. The manner in which the tradition of the famous shekel, first Jewish coin, has been handed down through genera- tions to the present day is suggestive of the tenacity with which the Jewish people have clung to their racial in- tegrity through stormy centuries, which have witnessed the disintegration of many other races. Evyery school boy is familiar with the word “shekel,” and uses it vaguely in reference to money, despite the fact that it has been 20 centuries since Simon Maccabaeus struck off the last of these coins. Appeared in 143 B. C. The first shekel appeared in 143 B. ©., when Antiochus VII granted Stmon Maccabaeus the right to make money. The last Jewish coin was made in 69 A. D., during the revolt of the Jews against Rome. From that time until the present day no coin has been mint- ed with Jewish characters appearing on "The disappearance of the Jewish coins from gfi"’culatlan is attributed to the fact that the Jews had no govern- ment of their own, an}c‘l t[heua lack of any h thing as a Jewish state. Sueme ne%v coins bear Jewish, English and Arabic emblems to accommodate the strange mixture of peoples found in the Holy Land. They are expected to supplant the Egyptian coins which have enjoyed wide circulation throughout Palestine during recent years. Seven of these new coins were re- celved in Washington by Leroy S. Boyd, librarian of the Interstate Commerce Commission, who wrote to the Ameri- can consul in Jerusalem recently asking that they be sent to him. Gilman Explains System. In his reply, Vice Consul J. Thayer Gllman expmn:dl lthe ‘monetary system in Palestine as follows: “The monetary unit is the Palestine und, equal in value to the pound ster- mg, or approximately $4.86. The Pales- tine pound is divided into 1,000 mils, each mil being equal to one-half a cent, United States currency. “The Palestine coin of lowest denomi~ nation is the 1-mil piece. The next in value is 2 mils. These two pieces are bronze. The three coins next in value are of nickel, with a hole through the center, and are of denominations of 5, 10 and 20 mils. These are followed by the 50 and 100 mil pieces, which are of silver. These seven coins constitute the complete set of metal currency in use at the present time and total in value 188 mils, equal to about 94 cents. “As the three official languages of Palestine are English, Arabic and He- prew, the denomination of each coin and paper note is denoted thereon in the words and figures of these three languages. It is for this reason that the coins bear Hebrew inscriptions as well as English and Arabic.” PANTHER BONER REGEVED BY ARNY First of 35 New Planes Here En Route to Wright Field for Tests. By the Associated Press. The Army Air Corps’ bombardment force was augmented yesterday with the arrival at Bolling Field of the first of 35 new bombing planes to be known as the “Panther.” As ferocious as its name implies, the new plane is designed to carry 2200 pounds of bombs and is equipped with five machine guns. ‘The big biplane, which has a wing span of 75 feet, was flown yesterday for the first time at Bristol, Pa., and after & short test flight was headed toward Washington. Speedy Trip Is Made. ‘The plane, carrying Orin E. Ross, project engineer for the Keystone- Loening Aircraft ~Corporation, piloted by Lieut. Edward R. McReynolds of the Army Air Corps. made the flight from Bristol to Washnigton in two hours and 10 minutes. F. bee Davison, Assistant Secre- tary of War for Aeronautics, and sev- eral Air Corps officers were at the fleld when the plane arrived. It was designed and bullt for the Army by the Key- stone-Loening Aircraft Corporation to fulfill a need for sturdier bombing planes capable of carrying bigger loads at greater speeds, Mr. Davison said. ‘The new plane has a maximum speed of 128 miles an_ hour, cruising speed of 100 miles an hour and can remain in the air 6 hours with a full load. Has Air-Cooled Engines. 1t is among the first Army bombing planes to_be powered with air-cooled engines. Eighteen of the 35 planes or- dered by the Air Corps of this type will be powered with two 525-horsepower Pratt & Whitney engines, while the others will have two Wright J-6 engines. Lieut. McReynolds said he planned to continue to Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, this morning if weather condi- tions, reported as dangerous over the mountains yesterday afternoon, should improve. The plane is to undergo a firfil of performance tests at Wright eld. ‘The other 34 planes of this type, when completed, are destined for Lang- ley Field, Va.: Kelly Field, San Antonio, Tex.; Luke Field, Hawail, and France Field, Panama Canal Zone.

Four proposals, including one recom- mending the abandonment of the ‘re- production cost theory” for valuation mitted to the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Washington Rail- way & Electric Co. yesterday by Julian Pierce, a librarian of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, a stockholder, but for want of a second to his motion no action was taken. Pierce cbjected to the replacement or reproduction cost theory used as the basis for determining the value of the companies for rate-making purposes in connection with the proposed merger, and recommended that the company “refrain from using” the theory, but adopt instead the “prudent investment theory.” Plerce also proposed the board of directors and management be pro- hibited from “making use of the em- Regular and Extra Size Raincoats Thoroughly waterproofed _ Leatherette Raincoats . . . warmly fleece lined.

Vocational guldance among school children as a means of preventing waste of time, ability and energles by advising puplls as to the demands of certain fields of endeavor and their possible fitness for those fields was out- lined by Miss Margaret Alltucker, as- sistant director of research in the Na- tional Education Association, in an ad- dress.on “School Counseling” at & joint meeting of the Education Association of the District of Columbia and the Vo- cational Guidance Association of the District of Columbla in Corcoran Hall of g-mrge Washington University last night. Defining_ “vocational guidance,” Miss Alltucker declared it “by no means im- plies determinism,” or that the person administering the guidance seeks to determine just what vocation a stu- deng should enter. “On the contrary,” she told the group of Washington educators, “it implies revelation of the student's self, dis- covery of his aptitudes and freedom of choice.” In its broadest sense. she explained, vocational guidance includes not merely the giving of information and advice in formal school problems, but also aids in health, social and moral guidance “The data on the pupil's cumulative case record,” said the speaker, “should make possible a view of the child as a wholé, the school as a unit and the constant interaction of both. The scientifically trained counselor calls to his aid the doctor, the dentist, the social worker, the psychologist, the statistician, the parent and the teacher to help him to study and understand the child.” Miss Alltucker was introduced by Dr. J. Orin Bowers, member of the George Washington University faculty and a member of both organizations at the joint meeting of which Miss Alitucker spoke last night. Wins Janssen Medal.
