The James Holdsworth Gordon Junior | High School, Thirty-fifth and T streets, | was formally dedicated last night amid | warm tribute to the late Mr. Gordon as | educator, lawyer, churchman and eitizen. Presided over by Dr. Frank W. Ballou, | superintendent of schools, and attend- | @d by members of Mr. Gordon's family, | in addition to parents of the school’s pupils, the dedicatory _exercises were | opened by a brief | sioner Proctor L. Dougherty. Recalling & motto which he said was carved in the stone over the entrance to a high school he \ the inspiration of the pupils, Commis- sioner Dougherty said that the perpet- uation of Mr. Gordon's name in the Gordon Junfor High School, in view of that man’s admirable character and fit- | ness as a citizen, was in itself an in- | spiration to the boys and girls who attend it. Enlarging upon the idea of inspira- tion, the president of the Board of | District Commissioners said that Wash- ing tunate in the wealth of incentives | to Federal Government institutions, the | monuments to the Nation’s great and ! the indi wit needs three factors to secure his suc- | tess—faith to carry through evers storm, a golden light of understanding { -mli & sense of humor to teach him right | wvalues. Henry P. Blair, former president of | the speaker. In his address of dedication Mr. Blair_reviewed the life of James Hol, cidents from the man's boyhood in Georgetown. He paid tribute to Mr. Gordon’s success as a lawyer and to his @steem he enjoyed as a citizen. | Inunity benefit by all the inspiriation | which is furnished by the character of Uames Holdsworth Gordon,” Mr. Blair | con ition of this building here tonight should | tand for all time as a moment of great dress by Commis attended in his youth, which became ton - pupils were unusually for- | greater endeavor. He cited the | vast Federal building program | icating progress. He concluded h the contention that every pupil | Pays Tribute to Gordon.

Barrett Learned, vice president f the Board of Education, was the third peaker to be introduced by Dr. Ballou. ¢ spoke briefly upon the Gordon Jun- flor High School Building, which he told his audience, represented an in- tment of between £/00,000 and 700.000. He recalled a statement made in the latter part of the last century by J. Ormond Wilson, then superintend-. ent of schools, to the effect that the fPranklin School Building at Thirteenth mnd K streets, in which now are housed the offices of the school officers and the Board of Education, was such a mag- mificent structure that to pass_it, one Kelt obliged to doff his hat. Dr. Learned observed that if such respect were paid to the Gordon Building “one should carry about 10 hats.” Now Community Buildings. The school buildings of the present day, artistic as well as practical, Dr. Learned said, are truly ‘“community buildings,” which are in effect commun- ity clubs catering to education in the highest sense. They now are available o the residents of the communities in which they are located, not merely for day classtoom work, but for functions which may tend to the betterment and ‘broadening of the people of the com- munity. In the course of his talk. Dr. Learned commended the oil portrait of Mr. Gor- don which Richard 8. Meryman, Wash- ington painter, executed, and which now hangs in the lobby of the school. It was the gift of the children of Mr. Gordon and the vice president of the board de- «clared the pupils of the school were for- tunate in having with them a “living likeness” of a man of such admirable eharacter and talents as Mr. Gordon. Dr. Lucius Clark of American Uni- Wersity pronounced the invocation at the opening of the exercises and the ediction at the oonclusion. Music provided by the Girls’ Glee Club of Gordon Junior High School and by &he choir of Christ Episcopal Church, f which Mr. Gordon was vestryman for any years.
