A—S8 WERGERS FAVORED | IN SCHOOL CRISS Local Councils to Guard Standards Suggested After Parley. _ZBy the Associated Press. et . . Reorganization and consolidation of ‘Yocal governments and school districts esterday was recommended as a meth- of adjusting present-day educational eeds with economic conditions bred by { e depression. v It kgmed one of the principal decla- frations of policy formulated by a com- “wnittee which consolidated findings of _the Citizens' Conference on the Crisis 1dn Education recently held here, with “¥epresentatives of educational, farm, la- '.ar, business and tax-study groups tak- art. qn%re report urges the creation of local Jkouncils, wholly unofficial but_broadly < yepresentative, “to mobilize and clarify i;eubuc opinion in order to deal more generously and wisely with the present Zerisis in education.” This movement already is under way mos! <and “may prove to bz one o *significant in providing a cp! “dnterest in schools,” in the opirion’ of Dr. Charles R. Mann of the American Council of Education, a member of the “committee. He said general public in- “terest in educational zffairs, which has ibeen lacking in many communities for many years, now is being revived ithrough' the growing problem of public finances. Responsibility Stressed. The report stresses the belief that ed- ucation is a fundamental cbligation of ublic policy and that educational pro- tdure must be evaluated cventually in *erms of “far- irg and broadly in- aelusive social purpose.” How to adjust “school costs to long-term economic con- itions with no dameage to the child Furnishes a’ major prealem, the ~com- LMittee reported. “The major should b elimi wast education ated through the aholi- i of control over and interference h education by p . of Jpolitical_appointments and of political corruption,” the report said. “Administrative control must be cen- tralized in the supcrintendent; State administrative organization of educa- tion must be reorganized through the creation of a non-political and profes- gional agency for the administration of the educational policies of the State. where such agency does not already L3 .

In his final testament the scientist bequeathed his unparalleled collections and library to the Belgian government for the University of Louvain. So far as is known, he never visited that cont*!~ental center of learning, but sympathies aroused by news of the burning of the university halls by the German armies in 1314 prompted Dr. Holm to the rich gift which now be- comes public. He pledged himself to do his part to | make good the loss of the celebrated treasures destroved at Louvain, and his will confirms his promise. Dr. Holm was one of the most emi- nent authorities of his branch of science. His specialty. was Arctic and Alpine flora, and for nearly 60 years he was an acknowledged leader in that field. Yet .in the final decade of his life he was unknown to even his nearest neighbors. During that period he lived in a woodland hermitage near Clinton, Md., with no companion except a de- voted dog. He died obscurely in Provi- dence Hospital on December 26, and not d civic [ & line of notice of his passing appeared last years reads like a romance of a medieval cloister. His shelter, a tumble-down farmhouse, hid- den in the forest, Dr. Holm neverthe- less was not isolated from the world cf ideas in which he was a citizen by nature, training and experience. In his house he had the fruits of his tire- less labors, thee specimens he had gathered under the stars of the Polar night and in the high Rockies of Colo- rado; the books of other scientists and of his own composition; ‘the intricate #ad beautiful drawings of living things which he hed studied and whose forms he preserved through the exercise of his skill with pencil. pen and brush; the medals and diplomas awarded him of the botanists of old and present time with whose investigations he was in- of his adventures in the North and in the West, men, scholars and statesmen with whom he was in correspondence. All these were arranged in perfect order, ready for use, and they kept the mind of their owner young and active. Never married, consistently a recluse, .Dr. Holm performed the routine chores of his retreat without assistance, and oc- casional visitors found him an excel- lent housekeeper. Of sunny dispos! tion, he was no misanthrope, and. a cordial welcome awaited his callers An illness terminated his self-im- posed exile. Last Autumn the faculty of Catholic University persuaded him to take lodging in one of the university dormitories. He moved to the city. The farm was leased to tenants who undertook the care of his dog. But Dr. Holm was failing. His hands were crippled with arthritis. He had a cough. On Christmas day he was Vvisited by his old friend, R Dr. v| Thomas Verner Moore, distinguished physician and psychologist, with whom he had been in school. So ill was he that Dr. Moore ordered him removed to a hospital room and there the fol- lowing morning he passed away. He Wwas buried from St. Anthony’s Church, Brookland, and Dr. Moore was the cele- brant of the funeral mass. Had he survived until February 3, r. Holm would have been 79 years of age. He was born at Copenhagen, Den- mark, and cducated at Copenhagen University. Botany and zoology had attracted him as a boy, and graduating at 26, he decided to make these sciences the business of his life. His great op- portunity came when he was admitted to membership in the Dymphna expedi- tion to the Arctic, led by Lieut. A, P. Hovgaard of the Danish navy. Sailing in July, 1882, the ship was caught in the ice in the Arctic Ocean, off Nova Zembla, and for 14 months drifted helplessly, a prey to the ele- ments. Dr. Holm used the opportunity to study the marine life of the frozen seas. Empleying a trawlnet, he dragged up from the black depths fathoms be- low the ice literally hundreds of dif- ferent species of strange marine crea. tures. These he studied with meticu. lous care, minutely described and ar- ranged for preservation. Then with a genius which he believed was born in him he drew the portrait of each of the more important specimens. ‘These sketches, authentic works of scientific art, are part of the treasure which is to_go to Louvain.

There followed three years of ex- pleration under royal patronage in Greenland. From these trips Dr. Holm brought back an enormous accumula- tion of botanical and zoological speci- mens.

He then entered the employ of | the Department of Agriculture. Retir- ing in 1920, he purchased the Wuodland‘v home at Clinton where he spent the twilight of his days in seclusion. Dr. Holm spoke 10 languages. A typical Dane, he was possessed of an active, eager temperament, enjoying | conversation on his favorite themes.| Quaintly humorous, he was a good companion for forest walks or quiet| evening hours at the fireside, A close friend was Rev.

The District of Columbia Department Executive Committee of the American Legion has taken issue with Gen. Frank T. Hines, administrator of veterans' af- fairs, over the decentralization of the finance work of the Washington re- gional office. A resolution was passed condemning agency "accounted for the major por- tion of the increase in relief expendi- tures. She said many of these families had to be cared for during the entire | | year. | _ Arthur Rosichan. executive secretar reported the number of families r ceiving aid jumped from 120 in Janu- ary, 1932, to 280 in December, an in- crease of 23.3 per cent. The society had received 382 new applications for help | during the year, he reported. Since the | organization finds itself compelled to| handle almost every type of social serv- ice work and that the relief title did not | entirely fit the present activities, he sald it was deemed eppropriate to| change its name. | Mrs. Goldsmith was re-elected presi- | dent for the newly named society.

The department also adopted a resolution protesting against the action of the Board of Education in forbidding the | use of school auditoriums for boxing exhibitions.

Occuparcy of the new Post Office De- partment Building, now under construz- tion at Twelfth street and Pennsyl- vania avenue, ‘will spell the doom of a number of temporary buildings now housing Government personnel, Lieut.

For the present, he said, it | is not proposed to destroy the old Post | Office Building. The temporary build- ings, the colonel explained, are costly to operate, unduly expensive to heat | and require greater guarding than other | buildings because of the great fire hazard. i In asking for $91,975 for the Public Buildings Commission Col. Grant as- serted that a number of large govern- | mental moves are in prospect. These | include the new Public Health Service Building and the moving of Depart- ment of Agriculture units now housed in temporary and rented structures into the new office building. For 1934 there will be the new Department of Justice, the Post Office Department, the Inter- state Commerce Commission, the De- partment of Labor and the Archies Building to be considered, as well as moving from more expensive rented | quarters into cheaper rented buildings.
