Students and teachers are busy planning ' sunken garden, to contain a lily pond and gold-fish pond be- tween the auditorium and the main building. With the help of men from the ranks of the unemployed, the courtyards are to be made beauty spots for all seasons of the year. | The flower and fish ponds are to be | snugly spotted in a miniature rock | garcen surrounded by a wall of rocks embedded in concrete.

OOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL, R along with others in the city’s Training a Feature, One section of the court is planned as a small scale wildflower garden, and “he whole project will aim to teach plant associations and growth in a small area. Scores of small plants and seedlings are now under glass in ihe school greenhouses. Rcws of yellow daffodils bloom now where there were crocuses a short rv&hile ago. Soon hyacinths and tulips will be out—yellow ones, red, purple, white and pink. Yellow forsythia rims the school. In the unoccupied spaces of the in- closed gardens, violas and pansies are already cropping up. When these early Spring flowers leave, iris, colum- bine and peonies will appear, staying until Midsummer. The lily, corioposis and rose will be in full bloom for the September stu- dents. Plans by Miss Gunther. All the plans for the garden have heen made by Miss Maude C. Gunther, instructor in biology at Roosevelt. In adcition to the long hours of labora- y and class study in plant theory indoors, the students of her classes lif2 in nearby Rock Creek Park. All the rocks being used in building the gardens have been lugged to school | by the students from the creek and | around their homes. In view of this, reports Miss Gunther, and in view of the fact that all concrete work is be- ing done by amateurs, the work is pro- gressing slowly. A quartet of boys, hcwever, must be mentioned as work- ing especially hard on this landscape- gardening project: Arnold Cook, Rob- ert Kohn, James Weber and Edward Winchester. The girls, says Miss Gunther, will be put to work later, at weeding and constructing borders for ‘he garden plots. |ELLIOTT ROOSEVELT PLANS AIR DERBY Presents Program for Western Hemisphere Contest to Texas !

Characterizing the present race in armaments as & ‘“pathetic sight,” Hirosi Salto, Japanese Ambassador, yesterday told the American Alumni Council that although the world is engaged in a race between peace and war, a growing “peace mentality” will save the major nations from a great conflict. Speaking at a luncheon meeting at the Wardman Park Hotel, the Am- bassador declared present increasing armaments, large as they are, are only for defensive purposes, “at least from the point of view of the country that constructs and owns them.” “Perplexing, complicated and diffi- cult problems are daily taxing the statesmanship of Europe, Africa, America and Asia,” he asserted. of some of these problems, I am afrald bloodshed may come. But that does not mean that a great war again will take place. That will only be an inci- dental and necessary ablation that occurs in e general process of settling down. Other speakers at the luncheon were Roger J. Whiteford, chief counsel of the Federal Housing Administration, and H. H. Clegg, assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Both told of the work and functioning of their respective organizations. The three-day meeting of the coun- est number in the organizati history, closed with a banquet which Dean A. B. House of the Uni- lege, and Dr. Meta Glass, president of Sweet Briar College, were the princi- pal speakers. Warning against snobbishness, Dean House told the delegates the purpose of education is to emphasize in each individual his own best self. He also stressed the spiritual side of college life and the impetus its associations give to future work. Dr. Mead discussed broad aspects of alumni affairs and particularly alumni attitudes. He urged graduates to develop a constructive and intelli- gent interest in their respective col- leges. . Glass, president of the Amer- ican Association of University Women, and sister of Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, told the delegates the effec- tiveness of the support of colleges lies in steadiness rather than size of bequests.
