THIRD DIVISION ' CONTRASTS TYPES New and Old Schools Are Included in 18 Build- ing Units. (Continued From First Page.) clude a varlety of more recently con- structed schools which, although badly equipped, are not {he structural an- tiquities which the Keene building rep- Tesents, But class room conditions which marked the first divisions repeat them- selves in this third divigon territory embracing the communities lying be- tween Rock Creek Park and Connecti- cut avenue on the west and, generally, Vermont and Sherman avenues and Soldiers’ Home on the east, with the ‘White House marking the soutnerly point. Of the 202 classes in these schools, 111 of them attend school on a part-time schedule and 6 of- them are quartered in the one-room frame port- ables. The congestion in this grou of build- ings will receive Telief from two quar- ters within a week, school administra- tors believe. The opening of the new Adams School is expected to relieve the Force and the Cooke Schools, which in turn will provide some relief to the buildings further north. Then the new Paul Junior High School, which is scheduled to open next Monday, is ex- pected to relieve schools in the Pet- worth and Brightwood sections. Within two months the new Powell School will be ready to turn over to the school peo- ple, and that will provide additional class facilities to congested areas in its ‘vicinity. Meanwhile, the conditions as they actually are and as they have existed for some time, are those which are de- scribed in the following building-by- building statement of the reporter who ‘visited each school: Old John Quincy Adams School. Old John Quincy Adams School, R street at Seventeenth.—Two _stories, eight rooms; total enrollment, 263; to- tal sittings, 265. This building is about 1o be abandoned as a class-room school, having been recommended for with- drawal from service as early as 1908. When the reporter visited it during the survey, however, it contained four over- size classes—two 6A-B of 41 and 36 and two 5A-B of 42 and 37. There was one vacant class room and two small rooms over the stairway landings, one used as an office, the other as a teachers’ rest room. The boys’ play room is small and dark, while the girls’ is equipped as a cafeteria. The toilet Tooms and their equipment are old- fashioned basement affairs, marked by dampness and bad lighting: the heat- ing plant is old, although the building was sufficiently warm when the reporter saw it. The playground is large and ‘well equipped. New John Quincy Adams School. New John Quincy Adams School, Nineteenth street at Vernon street—A haxdsome, new stfucture containing what appears to be every modern f cility and innovation for the accommo- dation for elementary education. There are 25 rooms, an auditorium and a cafe- teria, together with an excellently fenced and drained playground. Twenty of the rooms are for classes, while the re- maining chambers will be used for special work, such as manual training, domestic art and domestic science. The corridors are provided with beautiful tile wainscoting and sanitary floors. Every class room is furnished with new movable furniture and novel cloak clos- ets, concealed behind pivoting sectional blackboards. school will not be officially opened until next week with the ing of the new semester. Force children, transferred to permit painting of that school. Of these, two 7AB’s are over- size, one with 38 and the other with 40 pupils, Other Force classes here are another 7AB of 28, two 8AB's of 34 and 27. Five Morgan School classes there are 1AB-A2 of 49, 2B-3AB of 32, & 5B-6A of 32, an 8AB of 24 and a two-section kindergarten of 35 3 to 5 year old children and 22 5-year-old pupils. new Adams School's first student body will be organized -next ‘week, as the pupils there now are car- ried on the school records of their own buildings, Force. Force School, Massachusetts avenue near Seventeenth street.—Three stories. ‘There are at present seven classs in this building, five of which are over- sized—two 4A-B’s of 43 and 45 respec- tively; a 3A-B of 39, a 2B of 37 and a 1B of 39. Other classes there are a 3A-B of 31 and a 2A of 30. When the current reorganization is completed, this building will have 10 regular class- es. The toilet rooms are located in & separate wing on the rear, are better aired than the basement-type toilets, but are equipped with the same old- fashioned facilities. The vapor heat is excellent and artificial lighting, a ne- cessity by virtue of adjoining buildings in close proximity to ‘class-room win- dows, is adequate. A small cafeteria occupies one play room and bad-weath- er recesses are held indoors. The play- ground is a tiny patch of land at the rear, wholly inadequate for anything like the 400 pupils this school probably will accommodate within the next few months. Although recommended for abandonment in 1908, the Force build- ing appears in as good condition as any of the older schools which are do- ing duty without that stigma. Morgan. Morgan School, California and V streets—This school, its student body having been transferred in a unit to the new Adams School, is being reno- vated and is receiving a class room and suditorium addition preparatory to be- ing turned over to the colored divisions. It will be described in the article deal. ing with the tenth division. Henry D. Cooke. Henry D. Cooke School, Seventeenth and Euclid streets—Twenty rooms, total enroliment, 811; total sittings, 880 Sixteen oversize classes—two SAB's of 44 and 43, two 7AB's of 38 and 39, two 6AB's of 41 and 36, two 5AB's of 41| and 44, two “AB's of 46 each, two | 3AB's of 44 and 40, two 2AB's of 42 and 40, a 1AB of 42. The two 4AB| To0ms, each provided with 42 sittings, are badly congested. One is fitted with | regulation school furniture transferred | by the principal from less crowded rooms, and the other uses tiny tables and “soap box” chairs which the pupils handmade in the course of class proj- ects. These latter makeshifts are used only when there is a full attendance, | for when members of the class are absent their places in regular seats are taken by these on “waiter'’s row” at the back of the room. The AB rooms, each of which has one more pupil than regular seats, are provided With bent-wood chairs and tables. Am- ple basement rooms are provided for manual training and domestic classes. Tollets are old-fashioned, but, because the principal demands a daily hosing of the concrete floors and periodic opening of the windows, they are better aired than most of their vintage, The building has an auditorium of peculiar design, which makes it virtually a part of the corridors, much to the annoy- ance of assemblies. Playground is ex- cellent. West. West School, Farragut street be- tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets—Two_stories, 16 rooms; totel enrollment, 561; total sittings, 660. Nine oversize classes—a 6B of 40, 6A of 39, two 5A-B’s of 40 and 39, & 5A-4B of 36, & 4A-3B of 37, a 4AB of 38, a 3A of 42 and a 3AB of 38.

The rooms with 44 pupils have furniture jammed against blackboards so that their use is limited. Ground floor contains good carpenter shop, domestic science, domestic art rooms and well lighted and heated play rooms. Toilets are modern, play- ground ample and surfaced, but as yet not entirely fenced, although in this outlying section such provision is not | essential. Auditorium is modern, teach- | ers’ lunch room modern but small for | number using it. Johnson.

Kindergarten of 57 alternates with the 1AB grade in using same class rooms. The 6AB of 44, equipped with only 42 seats, was using bridge tables for overflow pupils when reporter visited it. The principal | informed The Star yesterday, however, that a reduction in that enrollment has eu::lnknbe:nd these tables. ~Tollet ms _darl equipped with old- fashioned facilities; girls' basement play room fitted with 16 seat sets for coaching purposes.

Order “Stripping” Officers in Delegation of Gold Braid Is Laid to White House. BY FRELERIC WILLIAM WILE, Staft Correspondent of the Star. By Radio to The Star. LONDON, January 28—While Great Britain makes its graceful gesture in the direction of creating a peaceful at- mosphere at the Naval Conference by abandoning construction of a pair of cruisers, America responds in a some- what less substantial character by de- creeing that the American naval uni- form shall not introduce a note of in- consistent military color in London at this time. ‘To date, not . a single splash of Yankee naval splendor has been- trotted out, although enough was brought along to make Piccadilly gay with gold lace and brald on the slightest provocation. The orders, which are said to have emanated from the White House, de- cree that none of the American ad- mirals, captains, commanders, lieu- tenants and others attached to the delegation shall appear in their regi- mentals. Quarterdeck Air Is Banned. ‘The idea apparently is that this is a_peace and ament conference. Therefore nothing externally savoring of the quarterdeck is to be on display and the civilian atmosphere is to be preserved throughout the conference by those intrusted with or connected with stating America’s views on naval dis- armament. ‘The uniform embargo coincides with the President’s dispatch to London of a delegation consisting exclusively of non-service men. None of the “sailors” connected with the American group has ranking above that of advisers or ex- perts. ‘There is no little remorse manifest among the dashing American sea dogs at the Ritz Hotel and St. James’ Palace. Some of them brought a half dozen “kits” along. Several had special trunks made to carry their gilded ward- robes. Now, they have been given to understand that the lmit in extra sartorial adornment is miniatures of such orders and decorations, American or foreign, as they may posses. These were the only h‘lvfllnll on exhibition at last week's 1 banquet, the government's dinner at the Savoy Hotel and Premier Ramsay Macdonald’s party at the Lancaster House. Capt. Halla Is Envied. ‘Tonight, the Americans are to be the dinner guests of the Pilgrim's So- ciety, but civilian garb will be the order of the day for all naval officers or other attaches and members of the delegation. The most envied American officer in London today is Capt. John Halla of the United States Marine Corps, one of Maj. Gen. Neville's adjutants and also & White House aide. He is allowed to weag uniform while in command of Squad 10, the statuesque Quantico “leatherneck” sergeants who guard the delegation'’s business offices and Secre- tary of State Stimson’s week end es- tate at Stanmore. The spick and span attire of the sergeants has made a distinct hit with the London public. (Copyright, 1930.)

BY EDWARD PRICE BELL. and the BT R Newe, Copriast, ‘s lticas0 LONDON, England, January 28.—Any apprehension on the part of Americans that excessive idealism or influences of whatever nature may lead the Amer- ican delegation at the naval confer ences to sacrifice the country’s de- fensive interests would be baseless. Our delegation very earnestly wants a re- duction of naval armaments. It wants even more earnestly to end compe- tition in warship construction. = But béfore either of these two things it wants security for every rightful ad- vantage of the public. President Hoover's faith in the Briand-Kellogg pact is shared by prob- ably all of his delegates, and more particularly by the principal ones, with Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson at their head. These men belleve that the pact will hold. This belief was strong when they came to London and it is stronger still since their inti- mate talks with other delegations. Yet none of our delegates in the present political and psychological state of the world would think of intrusting Amer- ican security wholly to the pact—they would not ask any other nation to do so. Hope for Economy. All that is hoped for now by the Americans or by their conferees is a good start toward economy and sub- stantially increased international trust. Economy will ease the strain upon the nations. That alone will conduce to an amicable mood. Non-competi- tion in naval armaments will break down barriers of suspicion, irritation and fear among maritime powers, thus clearing a way in a vast area for bullding up permanent relations pro- otive of 3 " Protected and alded by these cond- tions, the other legalities directed against war are expected steadily to gain in practical gain will come about,” said Tsuneo Matsudaira, Japanese Am- bassador in London, to me, “as the minds of the people catch up with the progress already made by statesmanship in the slow journey toward peace. Our need is not only for the right laws, but for universal faith in their sufficiency.” In making sure that the defensive in- terests of America shall not be sacri- ficed in an effort to save money and ameliorate world sentiment the Ameri- can delegation bears constantly in mind the peculiar relation, or what it deems to be the peculiar relation, of the bat- tleship to the martial efficiency of the American fleet. o Battleships, not cruisers, as I have said heretofore, were the cat of the London Conference.

After that method is settled upon, it is expected the conference will turn to actual limitation proposals, with cruis- ers at the head of the list, as advocated by the American delegation. While the committee extraordinary today debated agenda, posals for settlement of the Pranco-Itallan parity disagreement were stirring in other conference circles, It was said with some authority be- fore today’s sesslon that Italy probably would accept a plan to do away en- tirely with ratios and confine the proj- ected treaty merely to building declara- tions for the next five or six years, al- though the Italians steadfastly declined any promise that this method would satisfy their demand for naval equality with France, Piscussion was continued in some quarters of the French proposal for a security pact in the Mediterranean. Some suggestions were that all five nations might be invited to participate in such an agreement in some form or another. U. 8. and Japan as Advisers. ‘The United States and Japan, it was said, having only distant relations in the Mediterranean area, probably would be asked to participate only in a con- sultative capacity, if at all, under theory that such a pact would be an expansion of principles laid down in the Kellogg anti-war treaty.
