iTON, D. TUESDAY, BER 10, 1931. — NEW CHEVY CHASE SCHOOL DEDICATED D. C. Fortunate in Size of Budget During Slump, Ballou Declares. | | wood k: District residents are fortunate in these times, when many municipalities are curtailing their educational pro- grams in an effort te cope with the financial depression which is gripping virtually every other city, Dr. Frank W. Bellou, superintendent of « ce clared last night in an addr dedication of the new Lafaye in_Chevy Chase. Paul Claudel, French Ambassador to the United States, was to have pre- sented to the school a portrait of Mar- quis de La te. but did not appear when the picture, the gift of the French government, failed to reach the United States in_time. Dr. Ballou ciscussed briefly the pro- cedure by which the Lafayette School and al lother such structures are ap- propriated for and constructed “We sometimes are apt to feel that ours is a fairly difficult road in secur-\ ing school funds,” Dr. Ballou declared, “but as a matter of fact we in the Dis- trict of Columbia are fortunate in these times, because we are not suffering from the depression under which most cther cities of 200,000 lation and more are laboring to ke cir schools going. This past year we had perhaps the largest school building budget in our history, and I believe the budget now in course of preparation for next year will be just as satisfactory.” Teaching Corps Praised. Dr. Ballou contended they were to be congratulated on having & corps of *loyal ang splendid teachers who gave the best they had to teach your boys and girls in the face of such unsatis- factory conditions as poriable schools” and such hindrances. “A fine building is one thing in edu- eation, but it is in no way comparable with fine teachers, and you have both,” Dr. Ballou asserte. In order to produce the Lafayette School quickly so that portables and art-time classes could be eliminated r. Ballou said the Engineer Commis- sioner’s office, the office of the munici- pal architect and the school headquar- ters officers worked together, with the result that the building, which nor- mally would have become available next February, was occupied a whole term | earlier. | Rabbi Abram Simon, president of the School Board, also spoke. He declares the opening of the new Lafayette School signified the addition of spiritual wealth | to the riches of the community. Schools, | he explained, add spiritual wealth | to the community in which they are erected. At the rate at which new | schools are being built in Washington | Dr. Simon declared that it will not be long before the Capital's school system is abreast of the needs. Key Presented to Principal. | Albert L. Harris, municipal architect, presented ‘a symbolical key to Miss | Sarah Holland, principal of the school. | He asserted that ‘“the opportunity to design the schools of Washington has given me a great deal of pleasure, and Whether the most has been made of | that opportunity remains to be seen with the years to come.” J. Francis Moore, chairman cf the Committee on Schools, Chevy Chase Citizens’ Association, reiiewed the work of his committee in outlining the efforts put forth by the residents of Chevy Chase to secure needed new school buildings. Harry A. Karr, president of the La- | fayette Home and School Association, | presided. He presented Miss Holland, | Lafayette principal, and Miss Mary E. Given, principal of the E. V. Brown School, to which was attached the port- ables cisplaced by the new building, with a bouquet of roses. Music was | provided by a section of the McKinley High School Orchestra and by Miss Elsa Louise Raner, violin soloist, whose | accompanist was Miss Marie C. Hansen. | ool s at_the e School Butter-Colored Omhi57Winl. NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. (NANA,) — ~It took Robert H.

From that time Sorensen was a daily visitor at Garbo's house.” John Loder intrcduced me to Soren- sen—a tall, lean, good looking Swede, 24 years old and much interested in Greta Garbo. “I felt sorry for Gerbo when T bade | her good-by that 4ay in Gothenburg,” Sorersen sald. “It wrs very hard for her to leave her mother and brother and friends and go back to Hollywood all alone. I wanted to stay on the boat and go with her. I vowed then that I would make a trip to America 25 soon as I possibly could.” Instead of entering into the gay life | that Sorensen expected in Hollywood, soon discovered that Garoo had few friends and that she wasn't in any hurry to have him meet those few.
