A—20 «» PROPOSED SCHOOL CENTEREVTENSIE . Colored Educational Devel- opment to Occupy 42- Acre Tract. ©On a 42-acre plot overlooking the Potomac River from Twenty-fourth street and Benning road northeast, the Board of Education plans to set up the most extensive Negro educational center in America, so far as element- ary and high school needs go. Abutting land that is part of the Speedway Development, this center when completed will overlook a series of recreational parks and parkways to| be devoted exclusively for use of col-l ored peoplc | What is now known as Anacostia Flats will be totally obliterated, bur- fed beneath channel soil from the bot- | -om of the Potomas. The Federa Gov- ernment plans to do for the eastern part of the city—and particularly the Eastern Branch—what was done along | the old marsh lands that preceded Potomac Park. On a lofty hill looking down on what was once Anacostia Flats the new colored school development will some day stand—and that day is not| far distant. Already. some buildings | are there; and in actual use. These are the Young Elementary School, the Browne Junior High Scheol. and the Phelps Trade School for Boys. New Trade School. The new Trade School was opened last May—exclusively for trade in-| struction. It is the only school of its | kind in the city, according to G. C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintend- | ent in charge of colored schools. With these as a starter. the first step in the carrying out of the con- templated plan will be to erect an an- nex to Browne Junior High. This will cost $166,000—and the money is al- ready available. In a day or so the municipal architect will let the con- tract, it is understood. After that comes the erection of a $1,500,000 colored senior high school. Congress has been asked for $30.000 to start plans and specifications for this building. Wives Get Tip Short Yarn to Appear in Star Magaszine, ““This Week.” | Karl Godwin, Noted| Artist, Illustrates -Narrative, From the deft pen of Michael Arlen This Week (The Sunday Star’s color- | gravure magazine) readers will learn something new in turning neglectful husbands back into the ways of marital duty. It's a clever, very ‘clever, short story, the author of that i best-seller, “The Green Hat” has| written, and if you don’t want to miss+ it, you had better get your copy of The Star Sunday. The Arlen yarn fis illustrated in full color by Karl God- | win, noted magazine artist. Arlen himself is an Armenian, born in Bulgaria, educated in England and , Scotland and settled in London. He | began writing early, turning out a 1 book of confessions, the “London Ven- | ture,” at 18. But he really nidn't “ar- | rive” until “The Green Hat,” which | brought him over $500,000 in royal- | ties from movie, stage and book and magazine publication. A friend writes of Arlen: “Michael is like no other writer there ever has been. I hate to call him by that beastly | word—immaculate—but I will say it | and have done with it. His dress | shirts and waistcoats are by Hawes | and Curtis, his shoes by*Lott. His! In anticipation of this educational development, the school authorities have their eves on an additional tract of land containing 10 acres. This is between the present site, owned by the District government, and the sweeping tracts of land owned by the Federal Government. With the additional 10 acres the two governments would control enough land to insure “the perfect develop- ment.” To the north of the tract is the National Arboretum To Face Development. All the new buildings, and some of the old, will face the new develop- ment along the Speedway. Looking far into the future, Dr. Wilkinson sees here the greatest cul- tural center the colored people W have in or around Washington visualizes a teachers’ college on Benning road There is an underpass from this 42-acre tract, leading under Ben- ning road, to admit pupils coming to school. This is the one big safety feature of the tract. Tomorrow is the last day!
