DISTRICT SCHOOLS OF HUMBLE ORIGIN Funds for Beginning Were Raised hy Sale of Lottery Tickets. BY JESSIE FANT EVANS. You Mr. or Mrs. Washington parent who are disappointed that the hoped- for new building in your overcrowded school community is not an actualitv for the opening of the school year on September 23 should count your bless- ings when you consider the lot of our public school system with its $11.- 462,050 appropriation for the coming year in contrast to the city's early struggles with educational financing. ‘Whatever may be our difficulties with regard to inducing Congress and | the director of the budget to be suf-| ficiently generous in the matter of | appropriations for school sites, build- ings and teachers’ salaries, at least Fun Facilities Increased. TLANTIC CITY, September 7.— Visitors will be able to indulge in beach tennis, hand ball, shuffle board and horseshoe pitching along Atlantic | City’s beach this Fall, according to present plans of the Special Events Committee. Work will be started im- mediately upon clay courts for horse- shoe pitching in order that they may be completed in time for the Middle Atlantic States Championships Octo- ber 5. George MacNeil of Absecon, direc- tor of the tournament, has announced that the competition will be staged on 20 courts in full view of the Board- walk throngs. Following the match to visitors and will become a regular resort attraction. ART SCHOOL OPENS | Eight-Month Professional Funda- | mental Course Stressed by Felix Mahoney's Institution. The opening October 2 of its Fall we may congratulate ourselves we are not dependent upon such & precarious means as the sale of lottery tickets to | finance our children’s education. | Yet 100 years ago the raising of gchool funds by lottery seems to have been an eminently respectable pro- | ceeding. countenanced and duely au- | mental course, designed to meet the | thorized by Presidents James Monroe, | needs of those who cannot attend | James Madison, 'and even the austere John Quincy Adams. Madison 0.K.'d Lottery. i Pursuant to a resolution of the school board of November 23, 1812, we find President Madison authorizing “the raising of $10.000 by lottery for | the establishment and endowment of two public school houses on the “Lan-i castrian system, one in the eastern and the other in the western section | of the city.” Another resolution of November ' 13, 1813, appointed managers of a lottery to raise money for a school and a penitentiary.” How successful were the efforts to | produce money by these means is not known. Evidently the necessary | amount for the penitentiary was not forthcoming, since in 1817 President | Monroe was unwilling to sign a bl]l‘ passed by Congress “for the erection | of new public schools, a City Hall on | Pennsylvania avenue and a peniten- tiary,” on the grounds that they were for the use of municipal and not Federal buildings. | However, apparently undiscouraged | by the city’s misadventure with its | Jottery schemes, private enterprise en- | Open its fortieth Fall term Monday, | journey will be the westbound itiner- | “this strange | September 23, with courses leading | ary of the water route. grouping of worthy objects” by re- | to the degree of bachelor of Jaws and | deavored to finance sorting to the establishment of “a Grand National Lottery.” “National” in name only, despite the high hopes | of its organizers, it was destined to | early shipwreck. The successful anti- | gambling agitation sweeping the | country resulted in the State Legis- | latures of near-by States passing laws to prevent the sale of lottery tickets within their domain. And the crown- ing blow was the unceremonious de- | parture of the District of Columbia | lottery manager, who left behind him | not only & deficit, but an unfinished City Hall. Into the latter, Washing- | ton’s mayor. undaunted by the turu | of events, immediately proceeded to move, thereby considerably allaying | the general public consternation. Pay Pupils Barred. In 1820 an act of Congress forbade the trustees to receive pay pupils in | the public school system, the schools for the next few years consisting only of those children whose parents were unable to pay for their tuition. This gave them the odium of being in fact pauper or charity schools. By 1840 the increase of children of | &chool age in the rapidly growing Na- | tion's Capital was so great that the citizens themselves were becoming aroused to the necessity of adequately | meeting the educational needs of their children. Mayor Seaton, one of the owners Wwith Joseph Gales of the National Intelligencer, a leading newspaper in Washington and one of the most pow- erful organs for the formation of public opinion in America at the time, boldly carried the situation to his city council in his message for that year, but without immediate result. In 1841 he returned to the subject with the startling statement that of the 5,200 white children of school age in the District of Columbia, but 200, according to a door-to-door canvass conducted by his newspaper, were at- tending the public schools. Four Districts Created. In 1845 Washington was divided into four school districts. Coeducation | was, of course, not countenanced, boys attending one school, girls another. The principal teacher of the first district male school was Mr. Joshua Henshaw. His stepdaughter, the | well-known American novelist of the sentimental era, Mrs. E. D. N. South- worth, was also for some time a teacher in the girls’ public school. A | commentarian of her time feels that | :hle “seems to have been more success- ul as a novelist than as a disciplin- arian and teacher.” The frame lg\lge' where she lived in Georgetown, perched as it was nearly over the Clff above the Potomac River at the point where a change of cars was made from Georgetown to Glen Echo and Cabin John Bridge, was long a mecca for tourists. Dr. Tobias Wate k_ina combined the practice of medi- cine and the principalship of the second district male school. Hugh McCormick was in charge of the third district and Henry . Hardy of the fourth. Clergymen often eked out their slender salaries by acting as assistant teachers when the enrollment de- manded. Not until 1848 was the importance of the schools sufficiently recognized to assure them of consistent support. A regulation in that year provided for the laying of “a tax of $1 upon every free white male citizen of 21 years or upward in the District of Columbia,” was the precursor of definitely better school conditions. It was in this year, too, that a high school was first authorized to be es- tablished, which was not, however, Immediately done for fear of arousing public opposition to what it was felt might be considered “luxury” edu- cation. With school taxes “at a dollar a head” as they were feferred to, the standing, of the public school was so impro that the most representa- tive families in the community grad- ually began to attend their sessions. Aid from Fillmore. Presidential interest and real un- derstanding of educational problems were the happy portion of the public school system of Washington during the administration of President Fill- more, from 1850 to 1854. Not only had President Fillmore helped to finance his law training by teaching school, but Mrs. Fillmore before her marriage had been a teacher in the schools of New York State. It was Mrs. Fillmore who established the first library in the oval room on the second floor of the White House, it being said of the quiet, dignified fizst lady that term will mark the beginning of the nineteenth year of the National School of Fine and Applied Art, popularly known as Felix Mahony's Art School, at 1747 Rhode Island avenue. This year, the school is stressing its eight months professional funda- over the regular three-year period. This course is planned to develop the i student’s originality and train him to | apply himself in commercial art. An exhibition of students’ work will be arranged for the benefit of the public. There will be courses in costume design, fashion illustration, interior decoration, poster work and other commercial arts.

Preparations for a most successful Year are being made by the Berlitz School, which specializes in languages, | particularly French, Spanish and Ger- man, as the time to start the Fall term approaches. The school is under the direction of Prof. J. L. A. Rehbock, whose | method of teaching is to “take the strangeness out of foreign languages” and to encourage the student to “learn to talk by talking” the particular lan- guage in which he is interested. A typical Berlitz class is a small group of students under the instruc- tion of a native teacher. No English is permitted in the foreign language classes, and from the first lesson the pupil hears and speaks only the lan- guage being studied. He hears noth- ing that is not entirely idiomatic in the.new language, and his pronun- ciation, which can only be acquired by imitation, must eventually be correct. Under the direction of Prof. Reh- bock the school has grown to twice | its former size, both in class-room space and number of students, many of whom come from the extreme South and far West. Americans Stop Hurrying, DINBURGH, September 7 (#).— Americans hustle less when on holiday, it has been discovered here. Although proverbially famous for rushing, visitors from overseas have actually created a problem by asking for—of all things—Iless hurry! City authorities set a 10-minute time limit for motor coaches to park while picking up American passengers for a scenic tour. “That's too much of a squeeze,” protested the attorney for the Amer: ican Coach Co. 7 The traffic board chairman ex- pressed surprise. He said he thought all Americans were hustlers, but added that Edinburgh police wéuld not keep the coaches too strictly to the time limit. she “knew the insides of books,” whereas her charming predecessor, Mistress Madison, only knew them as “entering wedges for conversation.” Upon at least one occasion we know that & President of the United States has awarded the yearly prizes in our public school system. On that red letter day in the Washington school calendar, the children of the District of Columbia public schools marched from the City Hall to Capitol, each school with its banner proudly float- ing above its group. At the Capitol after an oration had been delivered by a member of Congress, Mayor Len- nox “in & loud voice read out the names of the boys and girls to be honored with medals as they blush- ingly came forward to have them hung about their necks by President Pillmore who spoke to each of them with kindness, affability and encour- agement,” according to an account of this occaslon, 1 play the courts will be thrown open | 19TH YEAR OCT. 2, Elizabeth | AY ST Circle Tours AretoTouch 6 Countries Eight Latin American Cities to Be Seen. Starts.in 1936. EW YORK, September 7.— Seeing America with six for- eign countries and eight Latin American cities added for exotic flavor is the latest rail and water “Circle Tour” program an- nounced this week by the Grace Line, in co-operation with the American Express Co. The new combination tour events are scheduled to open the Santa Liners’ Winter season, begin- ning January 1, and will be extended to March 14. On the waterway itinerary from New York to the Pacific Coast ports an extension tour to Mexico City will be given from Mazaflan. The water route itinerary of foreign ports from New York will first visit Puerto Colombia, where arrangements have been made for a 17-mile ex- cursion journey up the famous | Magdalena River to Barranquilla. At | Cartagena, the oldest Spanish city of South America, a daylight sight-seeing | tour of eight hours is allotted for | inspection of its fortifications and old world wonders. From Cristobal a daylight journey through the Panama Canal will be made to Panama City |and Balboa, where from the latter | port the Paclfic Coast cruise will | include stops at Puntarenas in Costa Rica, La Libertad, with a drive to | San Salvador. A day will be de- |vnted to an inland journey through | the tropical jungle from San Jose | de Gautemala to Gautemala City, with visits to the celebrated Indian villages. The tours will arrive at | Los Angeles scheduled for the seven- | teenth day. | The rail route from Chicago to | Francisco and Los Angeles will San include the mrincipal transcontinental lines, with optional westward itinera- | ries. Among the overland features will be the tour excursions to points of national interest, including Boul- | der Dam, Crater Lake, Mount Rainier l‘Park, Royal Gorge, Carlsbad Cavern and the Grand Canyon.

With an enlarged course offering, the Moneyway Studios of Short Story ‘Writing, located in a penthouse at 912 Nineteenth street, will open for its twelfth year October 1. Placing emphasis on the salable rather than the academic angle, the studios are offering an intensive four- month course in the writing of the short story. This course, which will be limited to 12 persons, will be given in the late afternoons, and will meet each Monday and Friday for a 40- minute session beginning at 5:10 p.m. Only persons willing to work and de- siring to succeed will be accepted for this course. The regular Wednesday evening meeting of the group of writers who get together each week for a two- hour session will be held the first time this season October 2 at 8:15 pm. Only a few vacancies are available in this group, and entrance thereto will be restricted to persons well grounded in technique who are actu- ally selling or are near the goal. Lewis Lofton Moneyway, director of the studios, will return from New York City this week, and will be avail- able in the studios from 5 to 6 p.m. daily, beginning Sepetmber 16, to in- terview persons interested, and regis- ter students for the work of the year.

Smartly attired in tailored uni- forms of Prench blue serge, the rail stewardess made her appearance recently in the coach and tourist sections of the North Western-Union Pacific's Los Angeles Limited. Gradu- ates of hospital training schools, they bring to the passengers travel- wise heads, bright conversation, quiet patience, perhaps a passable hand at bridge and an easy-on-the-eyes type of prettiness. Although not neces- sarily Ziegfeld beauties, they have been chosen with due regard to ap- pearances as well as qualifications. N THESE attributes, they tend toward the qualifications of their airline sisters. The feminine mem- ber of the plane’s crew is a trained nurse, usually not over 25 years old. Her personality is a big factor in landing the job and holding it, and she photographs well with the per- sonages leaving or arriving by air- liner. Plane companies, however, draw the line on size, which is not 50 much a handicap on railroads. The air stewardess is only 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds or less. The cleanliness of air-conditioned travel and the women patronage of the train, especially in the exclusive Wwomen'’s coaches, brought about the railroad stewardess innovation. De- feat of the grime of rail travel made the conventional maid services less necessary, mothers traveling with children sometimes need the advice of a trained nurse. The schooling they receive prior 10 assuming their roles as the train's hostesses is di- | rected toward making themselves generally useful, friendly if invited to be friendly, and, above all, agree- | able.

Of its many won- | | ders, 1,200 have been offcially tagged. | Many of these names have been hand- | ed down for generations, others have undergone several changes. The Pirehole Basin, around OId | Faithful, was christened by that fa-| | mous Western character, Jim Bridger, who led a trapping party into the| Teglon in 1850. The Indians before | him knew the basin as the Burnt Hole country. Mammoth Hot Springs once | was known as White Mountain, then | became Gardiner's Hot Springs in| | honor of -& trapper. The Mammoth name has stuck since 1878. Not content alone with simply { names, the Interior Department has under way a survey to determine the | historical background of the more un- Futrelle, Jr. usual places so that names will be in keeping. The reason for the names, the occasion and the persons con- cerned are being sought out in musty park records and from the drawling ploneers, Yellowstone itself came from the Indians via the French trappers’ translation for the river, Plerre Jaune, or the Roche Jaune. The color of Yellowstone Canyon is believed to have inspired the Indians. Records hold that Lewis and Clark were the first white men actually to reach the river—in 1805, CRIBBLINGS: Bermuda's islands number about 150.

Nags Head, on the North Carolina coast, got its name from tl » piratical custom of leading a horse, with a lantern on its neck, back and forth over the sand dunes. Merchant cap- tains of olden days.would think the light to be on a ship riding at anchor in a harbor and their ships would be grounded trying to make the non- existent port. Then the pirates would board the hapless vessel and mop up. Nags Head is now an attractive resort. The Sargaso Sea is a region in the North Atlantic between latitud 16 and 38 N, and longitude 30 to 50 W., where some of the surface is covered with floating gulfweed.

Lake George, in the eastern section of the Adirondacks, is 32 miles long. Most of its many islands are owned by the State, and permits must be ob- tained before camping on them. Key West 1s 125 miles “out to sea” from the Florida mainland. Detroit completely surrounds two other Michigan cities—Highland Park and Hamtramck. Each has a munici- pal government of its own, entirely separate from Detroit. Highland Park is residential, wholly industrial.

Labor day. once a deadline for rec- reational activities, now opens a peroid which many find the most delightful of the year. Autumn, when hills are aflame with color, increases in beauty as the season advances. The bril- liant hues of maple, birch and ever- green descend the slopes of the Green Mountains and the distant views of rising hills and rolling landscape are lovely. September sees many nature lovers on the 300-mile Long Trail, riders on the 1,000-mile bridle bath system, vis- itors at golfing and fishing resorts and in the hunting country. Fish- ermen may take black bass through- out the Fall months, and while the trout season closed iast week, the Averill lakes in Northern Vermont remain open to the fly fisherman through September.

By the Associated Press. OUTHAMPTON, September 7.— Designed on the theory that passengers would rather have an abundance of deck space to play on than a couple of fake funnels to look at, England's newest “luxury” liner, the 23,371-ton Orion is likely to herald an important advance in steamship construction. The Orion, defying all maritime tra- dition, boasts only one funnel, well forward. The remainder of its vast sun deck is occupied with recreation equipment. What the owners now hope to do is educate passengers out of the theory that the number of a ship's funnels has something to do with its horsepower. A few years ago the theory did have some substance. The Orion at that time would have required three or four smokestacks. But engineers have got- RESORTS. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. ten around that. Now all they have to do is convince the shipbuilders that fake funnels are not necessary. In time, they hope, every one concerned will be educated. ‘The most recent example of the old superstition is France’s great Nor- mandie. The farthest aft of her three funnels is a dummy, containing the ventilating machinery and dog ken- nels. Many other well known ships, including the Majestic, have at least one superfluous stack. Isle Ends Isolation. UEBEC CITY, Quebec, Beptember 7.—The Ile d’Orleans this Sum- mer is ending 400 years of isolation. An island 22 miles long in the St. Lawrence opposite this city, the Ile d'Orleans boasts six parishes and 4,000 inhabitants who daily see the towers and battlements of Quebec sil- houetted against the western sky, but have remained distant. Now, however, the self-contained little “continent” is being linked to the Quebec shore, for a 2,370-foot bridge is now nearing completion, re- placing the ferryboats which for cen- turies have shuttled across the arm of the river. The new bridge will make accessible to more American tourists a land where time bas stood still.
