Kramer, assistant super- fntendent of District sclools; Miss Sarah Simons, hend of English instrue- tion in the high sehools, and George J. Jones, in charge of high school soctal sclence instruction, today highly in- dorsed the National Ol"fl)flcfl] Contest. sponsored in this region by The Star, and notified contest headquarters of the enroliment of the 10.000 students under their jurisdiction in the preliminary Phases of the project—the preparation ©f papers dealing, from various selective angles, with the Constitution ‘As & result of this decision every student at Central, Western,” Eastern.

High standards will be required and the work will entail research work and study for the students to become thor- oughly conversant with their subjects. Sees Healthy Influence. Mr Kramer emphasized particularly the healthy \nfluence such study of the rinciples of American Government will gm- on the minds of young Washing- tonians, faced as they are at this time with radical propaganda and com- Il\mlsm theories. from the high schools indi- t great interest is being taken '.hls year in the Oratorical Contest,” he !nld “We hope by the co-operation he history and English departments m hln every child thoughfully con- sider the topics sct forth for the con- test and each pupil write at least a brief mlc]e on one of the topics. At o time ‘when criticlsm of our Government is n:ely indulged in and the claim is being made that many ! | of dur youth are sympathetic with such criticisms, it seems very appropri- ate that the attention of our pupils should be directed to consideration of the fundamental principles of our Gov- ernment and to the safeguards rvvlded for the individual in our Constitution.” Miss Simons, under whose direct supervision the majority of the con- !estlnu will participate, said she was “glad to advise that the list of sug- ted subjects for orations, con g‘the contest rule booklet, fits well with the curriculum prescribed in my English courses. “With subjects of such vital impor- zce—':‘;ch iy are embled to cuss onl English but also in history and civies chssu—the stu- dents in the public high schools of the eity should benefit greatly in preparing this particular assignment. during the eoming month.” Held Aid to Citizenship. Mr. Jones, in indorsing the contest #s an outstanding contribution toward better and more intelligent. citizenship, declared: “The republican institutions came to us and have been secured for us at & great cost. We accept our liberties very much as a matter of courss in the same unthinking and unquestioning spirit in which we enjoy the sunshine and the air. The rights other men struggled to obtain and paid for in sacrifice are now | our heritage. There is always a danger that some may ot appreciate their lib- es. instill in their minds an understanding that success in republican government depends upon an alert, active and in- telligent citizenship. “Students in senior high schools uld acquire both an understanding of and a faith in our republican insti- tutions. ‘The great men who estab- lished this Government had faith in its success. How much greater our faith should be in the Government we have today after nearly 150 years of un- led success. Would it nat be well emphasize in our teaching the bless- ings and advantages we enjoy today as compared with the turmoil, poverty and ‘w’-ifl drlnt7 prevalent in other pll'h of the DAUGHTER TO SEEK MOTHER’S EFFECTS gal Battle Will Be Waged for Painting of Lillian Russell f by Christy.
