LAYS CORNER STONE FOR$181,000 SCHOOL Bishop Freeman Officiates at Ceremonies Held at Mount St. Alban’s. Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop | of Washington, yesterday lald the| comner stone of the $181,000 building, | which will be erected on Mount St.) Alban for the lower school of St. Albar the National Cathedral School for Boys. | In his dedicatory address, Bisho Freeman stressed the significance of the legend, “For Church and Country,” which is inscribed on the corner stone, and asserted that in the present age with “its orgy of excesses and its undue emphasis upon self expression” there is need for a well-balanced system of edu- cation, “the kind that produces men loyal to the state and its ideals, because loyal to God.” Moral Training of Youth, Topic. After noting that there is an in- creasing recognition of the problem of moral training of youth, Bishop Free- man continued: “A school that is de- signed to meet the demands of our time | must recognize soul values as weil as mind values. It must address itself to the whole life of our youth, body, mind and spirit. A consistent amount of | physical exercise and indulgence in athletic sports contributes to sound bodies. A carefullly designed curriculm, under competent teachers, makes for intellectual development and the en- richment of the mind. A well-propor-| tioned and finely conceived moral and | spiritual training develops the soul and | stabilizes the character. “Large as such a task may be, we are resolutely undertaking here the creation of a church school that shall fulfill the | highest_ends for which such an insti- tution stands. That it has unusual ad- vantages by reason of being placed in | the Capital of the Nation and closely related to the rising Cathedral is clear- ly obvious. To strive for anything less than the best, would be to prove un- worthy to our trust.” Many at Ceremonies. | In the gathering at the corner stone | ceremony were members of the Cathe- dral Chapter, members of the cathedral staff, clergymen from the diocese of Washington #hd elsewhere, the cathe- dral choir of men and boys, the student bodies of St. Alban and the National | Clothing Cathedral School for Girls and mem- bers of the National Cathedral Asso- ciation with invited guests. The new school building is collegiate Gothic in design and is situated just east of the main building of St. Alban, facing Wisconsin avenue. It will ac- commodate 105 boys. Completion is expected in time for the Fall term of the present year. Canadian Envoy Makes Address. At the annual meeting of the Na- tional Cathedral Association, which was held in conjunction with the corner stone laying, Vincent Massey, Canadian Minister to the United States, said that “future generations will rejoice because of the building of the Washington Cathedral.” He also expressed his belief that cathedral building was not irrelevant in this age, but was an expression of the spiritual pulse of the time. That Washington Cathedral would prove “a great spiritual sending station 10 all the land” was the prediction of Dr. William Holland Wilmer, noted eye specialist, also a speaker before the as- sociation.
