By Sophie Irene Loeb. “The. most democratic method for the use of school buildings for Amer- feanization purposes is for each neighborhood or district to form ite OWN Organization and to control its own activities.” This was tho opinion of Ar- thur Somers, Pres- ident of the Board of Education, when I talked with him concerning} the plan to create a bureau under the Board of E'u- cation that would Pemieiearewae Goal entirely with this question of the use of schoul buildings outside of school hours in} the interest of Amer! tion, "E have giv. tiis matter great) consideration,” said Mr. Somers, “and I am convinced that the best and) mont far-reaching way of conducting} these centres is in the manner sug-| gested.” | A few weeks ago Miss Margaret) Wilson, a profound student of com-| ol | ay | | They say knitted neck-| wear is ‘coming in” again!
