THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C. JANUARY 12, 1930—PART ONE. w SCHOOL IS MOVED FOR CAPITAL STAY 105 Boys, 15 Teachers and: Leader Will Study Govern- ment at Close Range. An original experiment in the educa- tion of modern youth has been disclosed. in the arrival in Washington of Ray- mond Rior who has brought to the Capital from Highland, New York, for a period of 105 days, his school, con- sisting of 105 boys and a staff of 15 teachers, matrons and assistants. Mr. Riordan has leased two floors of the Continental Hotel to be used for his school for the period of its stay in| ‘Washington. Classrooms, bedrooms, dining room and recreation rooms have been provided for the boys in their temporary home. Carroll Hall also has | been leased to allow gymnastics for those athletically inclined. Civies Study in Capital. No interruption of class work will be fnvolved in the transfer of the school from Highland to Washington. School work, which ranges from first grammar grade to fourth year high school, will be carried on as usual, but the visit to ‘Washington will be used to give first- hand opportunities for boys to study government, at the seat of Government —research work will be afforded by ac- cess to the Congressional Library, and all the Federal buildings and offices will be visited and studied by the boys. “T believe that the 105 days spent in Washington,” said Mr. Riordan, “will afford a vast opportunity for education, because information is education and, one might add, information is education Pplus absorption. “The major idea of the trip is not that a tremendous breadth will be lent the school-room work through our con- tacts here—not the seeing of Washing- ton and its marvels—but in proving that these boys have been taught adapt- ability—that they can meet city condi- tions without being side-tracked. A most important lesson which will be gained by the boys is that they will have the actual experience of developing their will power, so as to remain on school program, and though being in a city” they will not be of the city, in so far as its vacation invitation is con- cerned." 1,000 Miles on Horseback. ‘The visit to Washington is not Mr. Riordan’s first experiment in unusual outings for boys. For two Summers, aft- er school had closed in June, a Il percentage of the school, which e: pressed its desire to accompany Mr. Riordan, made a 1,000-mile horseback trip through the Berkshires and White Mountains, the horses having previously been imported from the West and broken in by the boys before starting the trip. Mr. Riordan points out that his confidence in the underlying honor, initiative and self-reliance of boys was Jjustified by the success of his Summer outings. While in Washington students of the school will be permitted to visit in small groups all places of interest and importance. Older boys will make their visits without supervision from teachers, and later will be given groups of smalier boys to conduct to places assigned to them. The United States Patent Office is expected to prove a source of interest to boys contemplating futures as patent lawyers. The civics class will attend in a body debates on Capitol Hill. The Bureau of Standards also will be a mt of great interest to boys of all Mr. Riordan will keep his school in ‘Was! on until after the Easter holi- ii:ny; when they will return to High- CULPEPER FIREMEN| Elected Unanimously for Sixth Term as Chief of Department. Pumper Free of Debt. » Va. fanuary 11.—J. Willlam Swan, prominent business man of Culpeper, was re-elected chief of the Culpeper Volunteer Fire Department, Inc, at a meeting Thursday night. This volunteer fire company, which is composed of 42 of the young business and professional men of Culpeper, was organized about six years ago, with Mr. Swan as chief, and he has been unan- imously re-elected each year since. Other officers are L. Cave Major, first assistant _rhlel: Letcher Longerbsam, | gecond assistant chief: E. Murphy Hoff- man, captain: W. L. Roy, secret: and T. 1. Martin, treasurer. D. E. Seivage. assoclated with the State Highway Department here made an honorary member of the pany. __One of the high lights of this meet- ing was the announcement that the Tatest piece of equipment, a pumper, | which was purchased a year ago to be | paid for in three years' time, would be paid in full tomorrow, as the treasurer had money for the final payment now in hand. The report of the year's activities | ehowed that the Volunteer Fire Depart- ment had responded to 40 calls during | the 12 months just past, 17 of these | fires being in various parts of the coun- tv. It also chowed that the total of 23 fires in the town of Culpeper had only | caused a total loss of around $5.000. A panquet in honor of the men form- ing the Volunteer Fire Department will | be tendered them on Friday by the ‘Woman's Auxiliary to the Fire Depart- ment and committees in charge of this have been appointed by Mrs. R. R. Tol- bert, president. Breach Verdict Stands. DETROIT, January 11 (®).—Two motions on behalf of John H. Castle, asking that the $450.000 breach-of- promise verdict in favor of Bertha Cleavenger be set aside, were denied today by Judge Homer Ferguson. The first motion asked for a verdict of no cause of action, despite the finding of the jury, while the second asked the court to enter a judgment in favor of the defendant in accordance with spe- cial findings upon special questions of- fered to the jury. Mrs. Rosr;nwald Given $1,000.000, Before Marriage By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 11.—The Herald and Examiner said today that Julius Rosenwald, philanthropist and mail- order company executive, entered into & pre-nuptial agreement with his bride, formerly Mrs. Adelaide Goodkind, giv- ing her $1,000,000 in lleu of all rights to his estate. The newspaper said the agreement ‘was drawn by Mr. Rosenwald’s Chicago attorneys. Thé philanthropist, under terms of the agreement, also waives all rights to his wife's estate. Mr. Rosenwald, who is generally re- garded as one of the country’s wealthiest men, was married to Mrs. Goodkind in Philadelphia earlier this week, and they are now on a honeymoon trip to the Mediterranean. He is 67 years old and Mrs. Rosenwald is seven years younger. ‘The newspaper understood the agree- ment was drawn merely as a legal form, such as is frequently resorted to when fortunes the size of Mr. Rosenwald's are {nvolved.

The institution has passed so far be- yond the purely experimental stage, ac- cording to Dr. Moses R. Lovell, local Congregationalist minister, who put the idea in operation, that an appeal for public support is necessary to meet the increasing demands. | This appeal for funds to carry on the work for the remainder of the year now is being made by Mrs. W. W. Husband, wife of the Assistant Secre- tary of Labor, who is president of the non-sectarian committee in charge of the center, and Dr. Charles G. Abbot. secretary of the Smithsonian Institu- tion, the vice president. On Own Resources. With the start of the present year's work, says Mrs. Husband, the Life Ad- | justment Center started out on its own | resources since it had grown altogether | out of proportion to a mere adjunct of its parent organization, the Mount Pleasant Church. Last Summer the Life Adjustment Center passed under the control of a non-sectarian commit- tee, composed largely of prominent scientists and headed by the late Dr. Edwin E. Slossqn. Since it opened its doors this Fall it has ministered to more than 400 persons and the staff of experts who contribute their serv- ices has been increased from 12 to 22. If the physicians, psychiatrists. social workers, lawyer and economist were paid the work would require a heavy endowment. since a single case some- times requires the ‘time of experts, which would be altogether beyond the means of the individual. Entirely Non-Secterian. The work, Dr. Lovell emphasises. now | is on an entirely non-sectarian basis. The staff contains one Catholic, two Jews and members of four or five Protestant denominations. beside several with no religious affiliations whatever. The only paid employe is a permanent secretary and social worker. The inci- dental expenses, however, have in- creased greatly with the additional number of cases. The object of the institution is not to treat abnormal cases, but help the average man or woman in the perplex- ing and often tragic problems of daily life—and to combine for this purpote the resources of all the sciences. All | the cases are treated with the utmost | confidence. They go through the whole range of human experience. even to the | | strange border line where the tragic | ¥ and the ridiculous meet. Case of Young Musiclan. There was, for instance. the recent case of a young woman who had de- voted years to a musical education and had made a considerable name for her- self in minor appearances. At last came the opportunity of her lifetime to appear before a notable audience, where her success would mean that she was “made”. So much depended on her success | I on this one occasion that the more the | girl thought about it the more nervous she became, and on the afternoon before the engagement she was in al. most a state of collapse from stage fright. Priends took her to the Life Adjustment Center, where a psychia- trist worked with her until she was sufficiently recovered to fill the en- | gagement, which she did with complete success. | While this seems a minor case, Dr. | Lovell points out, a whole career may | have been at stake that afternoon. | Then there was the case of an Army officer, retired for disability and suf- fering from an incurable malady. An excellent soldier, the man was as help- less as a child when it came to busi- ness matters and he faced the prospect of leaving his family unprovided for. Economist Solves Problem. In this condition he came to the Life Adjustment Center for help and a trained economist was able to make adjustments in his affairs which as- sured a competence for his wife ard children. Another case recounted by Dr. Lovell is that of a Washington family bur- dened with a wayward son who was continually getting into trouble and saddling his people with debts, which they were able to meet only by a con- tinual struggle. When the boy was brought to psychiatrists at the Life Ad- justment Center they found cuch ab- normalities in his personality that it was possible to place him in a hospital for treatment, with the result that he was greatly improved. These, says Dr. Lovell, are typlcal cases, but the majority of problems handid by the Life Adjustment_Center staff are altogether too confidential even to be related without names, since every one who comes to the center re- veals his troubles under the seal of absolute secrecy. The work of the center, Dr. Lovell says, has revealed the existence in ‘Washington of “a great underworld of fear and worry” with which no other institution pretends to deal, but which is all important to the individual. In connection with the financing plan approximately 2,000 letters are being sent to prominent Washingtonians de- scribing the work of the institution.
